Chapter 4 part three! Again FOLLOWWW AND COMMENT PLEAAASE! I would love reviews to help! SORRY FOR THE TERRIBLE SONG
January was coming to a close and now Lily's birthday was around the corner. Severus hopped to avoid the chaos his birthday brought, racking his brain desperately for the perfect present idea.
With a jolt he remembered Lily telling him about piano lessons. The Evans had a small baby grand piano in their living room and it was left mostly untouched. Lily loved music, even though she despised the piano lessons.
Severus knew how to play, thanks to his mother. Before his father was really bad, she was allowed to teach him. Severus, dying to learn always, lapped up the lessons like a starving dog. For a 10 year old he was a very talented pianist, and he knew how to compose.
Grabbing a broken pencil from the kitchen and a scrap of dirtied paper Severus went to work.
On January 30th an excited Severus knocked at the Evans door. A slightly plump but pleasant looking woman opened the door.
"Why hello! You must be young Severus, its so nice to meet you"
She opened the door further and gestured inside.
"Thank you mam"
Severus took a look around the living room. Lily lived in the upper class homes at the start of spinners end while Severus's house was shoved in the back.
Her living room was filled with warm expensive furniture, and crown molding lined the ceiling. A lone white piano stood in the corner.
"Sev!" Lily said excitedly, hurling her small body into his like she had so many times before.
Severus, now comfortable with her touch and hugs, rapped her arms around her and squeezed back.
"Happy 10th birthday Lils, double digits!" He stated with a smirk, remembering the card that seemed so long ago.
Lily let him go and punched his arm playfully.
Grabbing her hand he led her over to the piano, feeling suddenly nervous.
He sat in front of it and took the rumpled sheets from his jacket and set them up while Lily watched quizzically.
"I-um, wrote this," he said.
The opening notes resonated wonderfully on the superior piano. Simple and sweet, like his voice. The words were sung quietly at first, but grew confidently louder as the song went on. His voice was silky and light. He sang:
You mystified me with your beauty
You always bring me life
And you helped me find my way,
Ripped though my malice like a knife
And bring me up everyday
I'd never waste your time,
I'll never cause you pain.
I'll love you all my life,
I'll love you everyday.
Under the light you shine on me,
I promise I will be there for you
I cross my heart thats in your hands,
That i hope you will always be my best friend.
I promise I will be there 'til the end.
You've become my light.
You've become my light.
As the final notes rang he turned to Lily, who, unbeknownst to him, had tears in her eyes.
"Oh my god Sev, Sev I don't know what to say"
She laughed the musical laugh Severus loved so much and gave him the strongest back breaking hug she could give. The tears she was holding back started streaming silently down her face.
Severus was hit again with the sent of her hair unable to breath and comprehend with her closeness.
"Ehhem?"
Lily mother, with tears in her eyes like her daughter, cleared her throat and announced the birthday cake.
Blowing out her candles Lily made the strongest wish she ever had.
I wish Severus will be my best friend forever
