Hey! Chapter 2! Please comment and follow! Severus's Magic Trick creds to nascently!

"You're a witch!"

You deplorable cretin! What are you DOING?

Severus suddenly found himself staring strait into the eyes of Lily Evans. They were electrifyingly green. it nearly almost inhuman. Both eyes were now boring into his obsidian ones, searching questionably.

"Thats not very nice"

Her mouth twisted into another one of her wry smiles and she placed her hands on her hips cocked them as to lecture the taller boy. How dare he insult her! Lily hadnt really seen Severus yet, instead she stormed over and decided to look him strait in the eye and find answers to his accusation. Her mother always told her "everything you need to know is written in their eyes". As Lily continued to stare, she found his eyes deeper than anyones shes ever seen. They were obsidian tunnels that contained so much knowledge and wisdom.

Lily feeling overwhelmed tore her eyes away and while running back to her sister.

"Come on Tuney"

Severus was able to find a little of information from his daily visits to the park that summer. He found out her name was Lily Evans, and that she lived the next street down. He also discovered how powerful she really was. It was amazing to watch her little spouts of magic. Today she swung off the swingset and flew. Actually FLEW. Severus was so overwhelmed that he stood up shouted out that she was a witch.

Oh Merlins Beard shes coming over

When he was hit with her eyes Severus couldn't find the will to breath. Her beauty was rediscovered and magnified through those emerald eyes, which were fiery in anger. When she cocked her hip and lectured him he wanted to explode with laughter. Lily Evans is too perfect for her own good

Her gaze suddenly switched however.

What does she see. Has she noticed my nose? My clothes? My greasy hair? Is she disgusted by me?

When she turned away the action hurt Severus like an arrow though the heart.

it wasn't an insult Lily please don't go

He couldn't find the strength to say it out loud however and he just watches as she walked away. How could it all go so wrong

They weren't at the playground the next day. Perhaps he had frightened them off. Severus could not bear the thought of never seeing his light again. He wasnt ready for the world to darken. He meandered over to the swings, and took the one she'd sat on the day before..

He began to rock slightly on the swing, wondering how to find his light. He wanted desperately to apologize for his poor planing, and to try and explain.
I might never get that chance

However, right then, he seemed to see a slight, slender figure approaching the park from a distance-a silhouette Severus recognized from long weeks of keeping watch for it in the bushes. The thrill of excitement and nervousness that darted though him made beads of sweat break out on his forehead.

She grew closer and closer. Each step forward sent Severus's heart fluttering in apprehension. She suddenly came to a stop in front of him and stared at him with those electrifying green eyes.

Neither of them said anything for a minute. Her eyes continued to search like a wordless interogation. When she seemed to find what she wanted, she sat down on the swing next to him with a sigh.

"I got rid of Tuney so we could talk"

Once again thoughts filled Severus's mind. She wants to talk to me? She didnt want her sister to come so we could talk? She isnt afraid and disgusted of me?

"Im sorry" he wispered softly.

"Whatever for?"

Severus felt his lips quirk into an almost smile.

"Poor planing"

Lily laugh rang loud and clear through the park before she sobered. They stayed silent for a couple of minutes just swinging.

"Is it true, then?" Lily asked, a sheen of eagerness in her eyes. "Is it true, what you said? That I have magic?"

Severus fought for the right words.

"Erm, yes. Actually WE have magic"

He studied Lily's face for a moment before continuing

"You're a witch, and I'm a wizard, and I'm not making it up. When we turn eleven we'll go to a school of witchcraft and wizardry," he added hurriedly, lest she decide to run away again, "and we'll get wands and-"

"Wands?" the Lily leaned forward, her green eyes growing wide.

"Yes, wands! And we'll learn all sorts of magical things like potions and transfiguration and charms!"

"Um what?"

"Well potions are like muggle chemistry, transfiguration is transforming things, and charms is about things like making things float!" Severus proudly stated, glad he brushed up on his knowledge.

"I have tons of books my mom used to have to show you if you like. Shes a witch too"

Lily closed her eyes and Severus's portal to her thoughts. After a few agonizing seconds she finally spoke.

"Prove it."

"Huh?"

"Prove you're a wizard."

Severus frowned. He hadn't expected this. Poor planing. Damn you Severus Tobias Snape must you always screw up? Of course she would want proof, any reasonable creature would! Well by Merlin you better not prove to be more cretin than you already are.

Severus closed his eyes in a manner very similar to the way Lily just had

"I can try but i cant promise anything"

Focusing his concentration, he turned his eyes to the grass, where one by one the tiny flowers rose up into the air. He heard her gasp beside him. Next, the flowers formed a line, linked together by their stems, and this delicate filament floated to Lily, where it wrapped round her wrist like a bracelet. It was the most sophisticated bit of magic he'd ever performed, and he felt quite drained afterward, almost faint.

But it had been worth it, to see the expression of awe on her face as she gazed down at the bracelet, then flashed a brilliant smile that stunned Severus nearly off his swing.

Wasting no time to get to know this new boy Lily thust her hand forward.

"I'm Lily."

I know

He almost said it out loud but he caught himself last minute and shook her hand.

"Im Severus"

"What a funny name! Sev-er-us! I like it though, its different!"

She continued to grin like a fool

Severus was dumbfounded

"Y-You like my name?!" He exclaimed pleasantly surprised.

"Of course! Its different and unique. I think its neat"

Once again she flashed a brilliant grin in Severus's direction.

"To many things are average" Lily insisted. "I mean, i would rather be unique and my own person. Wouldn't you rather do things your way than someone else's way?"

"Yes," Severus agreed. "Especially since most people are dunderheads."

"That's not nice," she said, but she giggled again all the same. Suddenly she looked around and realized the time. If she wasn't careful her sister would be suspicious. It was difficult convincing her that she wanted to play "by herself" that day. Lily contemplated locking the door to her room before climbing down the window but thought against it last second. She needed to trick Tuney, not scare the life out of her parents when they couldn't open the door. She looked again into those obsidian eyes and gave Severus an apologetic smile. Hes so curious, i must see him again.

Lily quickly explained the situation and Severus understood immediately. He's so smart. He just understands. He's just so.. Different.

As Lily bounded off the stairs she heard his smooth toned voice call out her name. She realized she really liked the sound of that.

"Will I see you again?"

Lily turned around to face the shy hopeful smile Severus had on his face. Doesn't seem to smile often she observed before responding that she would see him same time the next day.

Both children went hope a lot happier than they had ever been.
