CHAPTER 1: THE WHITE-HAIRED FAIRY

In one moment, Severus Snape's world went white. He saw something fall from the bright light. Fearing the worst, Snape closed his eyes and braced himself from whatever it was that shot toward him.

Then he felt something… soft, land on top of him. At the same time, he felt like something warm touched his lips, sweet and a bit spicy at the same time. He could literally feel someone breathing on his neck.

"Oh, that hurt..." he heard a female voice mutter. The voice seemed strangely familiar.

Severus Snape opened his eyes, and his black pair stared straight into emerald ones.

"Lily?" he gasped.

"I'm not Lily," said the girl. "No wait… who are you? Who is Lily? Why did you call me Lily?"

Then, Severus realized his mistake. The girl in front of his eyes was not his former best friend. She looked so much like Lily, and even had an eerily identical pair of green eyes. However, this girl had a paler complexion, and her hair was silver-white, like snow, unlike Lily's dark red hair. It was, however, more because of the fierce emerald eyes, that Snape was not able to tell the difference at first.

"Before I answer your question," said Severus, "would you please get off me? You're making it hard for me to breathe."

"What do mean get off…" the girl suddenly stopped talking, as she suddenly realized the awkward position she was in with the stranger. Her white face turned red, and then…"

"KYAAAA! PERVERT!"

The girl screamed as she slapped Severus with her left hand. Then, she readied her right to do the same to the other side of the poor guy's cheek.

"Hey…wait…weren't you the one who fell on top of me? I did not do anything to…" Seeing that the girl would not listen to reason, Severus Snape raised his arm in an attempt to block the onslaught. With his quick hand reflexes from continually wielding a wand, she attempted to catch the girl's hand which was about to land on his face. The girl, however, managed to get her hand out of the way. Severus hand, in a clamping stance, missed its target…

And landed on one of the girl's breasts.

For a split second, both Severus and the girl looked at the hand on her chest. And then…

"KYAAA! PERVERT! PSYCHO! BASTARD! HENTAI! KYAAAA!"

With every word she screamed, the girl landed a painful palm strike on the man's face.

Severus Snape's brain, weary and exhausted from all the despair, sorrow, and extra thinking, plus all the physical torment he was currently receiving, decided to go for the most rational course of action, and shut down. Thus, the man passed out.

-BREAK-

A douse of cold water revived Severus Snape from his self-induced fainting.

"Hey, are you awake now?" asked the white-haired girl. Her face appeared relaxed. She seemed to have regained control of herself.

Wanting to have nothing more to do with the irritating woman, Severus decided to take his leave.

"I apologize for the, um, unpleasant situation earlier." he said. "I assure it was an accident. I wish to clear any misunderstanding on your part."

The girl remained silent.

Taking this as a sign of acceptance, Severus Snape stood up, bowed and said to the girl, "I'll be going now."

"Sexual harassment and attempted rape," muttered the girl to his retreating back.

"Pardon?" said Severus, not believing what his ears just heard, as he turned around and looked straight into the girl's green eyes.

"Sexual harassment and attempted rape," repeated the girl. "If you leave me here all alone, I will report you to the authorities."

Severus stood frozen and stared at the girl. What the heck?

"Excuse, but I think I already apologized and I believe you and I both know that it wasn't intentional. In fact, I might just inform the police and charge you of assaulting me instead."

"Oh," said the girl. Then to Severus Snape's surprise and mild horror, the girl ripped part of her skirt. "I wonder which of us the cops will believe?"

Severus Snape contemplated on his possible course of action. He could attempt to cast a memory charm on the girl, but the Ministry's Trace will be able to track down underage magic. Also, the girl seemed to have appeared by magic, and the Ministry apparently did not detect anything. Perhaps the girl simply looked young, but was actually of age(He has now idea how right he is.). Either way, he thought it was best to stay out of trouble, so he decided to play along.

"Alright, what do you want?" sighed Severus.

"I want something nice to drink," the girl said, with an (slightly) evil smile on her face.

One hour later, at his house in Spinner's End, one Severus Snape with burning palm marks on his face (they were still there), was preparing some coffee for the strange girl he met in the park.

My wonderful green-eyed best friend just broke all ties with me, and now a green-eyed freak who looks so much like her is bothering me. Great, thought Severus Snape.
