A/N: Sorry it took longer than it should have for me to update. My nana is staying with us for a while and has been teaching me took. This is me trying to balance my time between home, school and personal time.

Disclaimer: I own nothing other than Addy and Liz.

Previously:

I put some eggs and bacon on my plate first before going after the sweet bread toast that was covered with butter and a blanket of powdered sugar. I was surprised to see that I was drawn to the sweets more than the savory foods but delighted as well. I was going to need all the energy I could get for my first day of school.

As we began to gather our bags and books for our classes I saw Severus walk up to us. But why? Was he going to ask if I knew where Lily is? If I could help him try to get Lily to go out with him. I don't know.

I was surprised when he said, "Good morning, I'm sorry I left without another word. I also did not mean to chose her over you, I have seem to come to the realization that you paid more attention to me in that short moment on the train than Lily has our entire first year, which is sad considering that she once called me her best friend. If it is agreeable to you I would like us to start anew and maybe perhaps develop a relationship?"

I stared at him for a moment.

Then I took his hand and said, "My name is Addyson Evans and I am a first year here at Hogwarts."

Severus gave it a squeeze and shook it replying, "My name is Severus Snape and I am a second year here at Hogwarts, pleased to make your acquaintance."

We stood there for a few moments smiling at each other until the sound of someone clearing their throats got our attention back down to earth. Severus offered me his arm and I happily took it as we turned our attention to Remus, Tonks, and Liz who were looking at us with grins on their faces.

I stuck my tongue out at them and said, "Ok grinning fools lets go to class before we get assigned a detention for being late on the first day."

Everyone nodded and we started walking to our first class, potions.

I got nervous suddenly and it occurred to me that Lily has been the golden student for a year now. Great, ladies and gents let the comparing begin! Severus seemed to be reading my mind because he opened the door for all of us to walk through and said.

"Professor Slughorn is our potions teacher don't worry too much about what lasting impression Lily has left, you do your best to make a lasting impression of your own. That way the teachers will know that just because Lily Evans has a sister it doesn't mean that she has to be the same as Lily. Also, I'm sure that there will be comparisons don't worry about them either and if they get to be too much after awhile I want you to know that you can talk to me," Severus said as he put my books on the desk.

I nodded despite still being nervous.

Liz sat down on the station next to mine and as I was about to take my seat Severus took my right hand a put a soft kiss on it. I gave him a beaming smile and asked if we would see each other for lunch. With a smile and nod of his own he left for his own class.

"Well, milady it turns out that your assumptions of Severus were wrong," Remus said giving me a brotherly hug.

I nodded at him and gave him a wave as he left for his class himself.

I turned to Liz and asked her to trade places with me. Now I was in between both Tonks and Liz. They are happy with this new sitting and we were even happier that our intended crushes return our feelings, at least for now.

As the day progressed the assumptions of being compared to Lily came true.

Things like, 'oh, well Ms. Evans I'm sure you will reach the same potential that your sister has set,' or, 'did you know that she is one of my best students?' could be heard through out the classroom every time I raised my hand. I was tempted to not answer any of them but I knew Severus was right, I have to make my own mark and prove to them all student and teacher alike that I am not a Lily clone.

But that is easier said than done I'm afraid. When the bell for lunch came I couldn't be more than relieved as the teacher dismissed us. I saw Severus leaning against the wall by the door. I smiled at him and took his offered arm.

We were on about to go in to the hall when I heard someone call, "Addy! Addy!"

A/N: Who could it be that was calling Addy? And for those wondering where Peter is he'll be coming in in the next few chapters.

Don't forget to review!
