Summary: Lilly Potter didn't die on that Halloween night, although she was in a coma for twenty years. What happens when she wakes up looking that same as she did on that Halloween night? Severus wants Lilly now that she's alive, except his already going out with Hermione; who he also loves. What if Lily also wants Severus? Will Lily be able to share her childhood friend with another witch? Will Hermione be pushed aside by Severus for Lilly? Will Severus rescue Hermione in time or will he lose her forever?

Thank you for the reviews for this story. I do agree that Severus cheating on Hermione with Lily won't bring them into a triad relationship. There is a magical reason why Hermione and Harry are seeing Severus and Lily in that position, which is explained further in this chapter. Enjoy!


Chapter Two

"Severus," whispered Hermione, as she revived Harry from his fainting spell. She didn't want to cry in front of him. She needed to be strong. She held her hand out towards Harry, helping him get off of the cold dungeon floor. He nodded his head at her. She turned her head towards Severus and Lily, who were still naked and holding each other like there life depended on that closeness. Neither of them seemed like they wanted to move away from each other. "Why did you do this to me? After everything we have been through you couldn't just break up with me first, before sleeping with another woman. I thought you were over Lily before you asked me out, at least that's what you told me."

"Hermione," said Severus, staring at her with disgust in his eyes. "You weren't supposed to be here yet. You were supposed to be gone for another week for that project you were assigned from the minister. You weren't supposed to find out about this affair. Besides, I have lied to you about having lost my feelings for Lily. I have loved her for so long, that what I feel for you is not even half of what I feel for you."

"I can't believe you," said Harry, heartbroken. He was looking at his mother's green eyes, the same shade of green that were his. He felt uncomfortable seeing his mother and Severus naked, but those feelings quickly vanished as he realized what this was currently doing to Hermione. He shook his head. "I couldn't believe that you would quickly jump into bed with another man after recently waking up from your coma. What about my father? Did you ever care for him? Did you just use him for his money? He has been dead for over twenty years for me, but you have only been awake for three years. You should still be in mourning, and not screwing someone who happens to have a girlfriend."

Severus and Lily both looked at each other. Lily ran her fingers through Severus' hair, pulling his head down, and planted a kiss on his lips. She pulled back a moment later, smirked at Hermione, before saying, "He's mine. He always has been and always will be. He doesn't care about you. Why will he when he can have all of this? Besides, he told me a million times that you aren't very exciting in bed."

Severus smirked before trailing kisses against the side of Lily neck, making her moan. She threw her head back, her red hair covering most of her naked body. Lily sent a smirk towards Hermione. "I can teach you a thing or two. Would you like to come join us? There is plenty of room. Harry came join us as well. I'm sure that he can get you off while I'm playing with Severus."

"No," said Harry, shaking his head. Why would his mother be asking him to join them? Didn't Severus tell her that he was a happily married man? He needed to get Hermione, and they needed to leave quickly. He turned towards his friend. He could see that she was trying to hold back her tears. "Let's go, Hermione. You don't need this bastard."

Harry grabbed onto Hermione's hand. He tried to pull her towards Severus bedroom door. She gave him a look and walked towards the end table. She pulled off the engagement ring and placed in on the end table. "I hope you rot in hell."

"Riddikulus!" shouted a voice from behind Harry and Hermione. They saw Severus and Lily, disappeared from the bed, and landed in a box at the end of Severus' bed. They turned towards the door, where the real Severus and Lily were standing. Lily was leaning on a cane. She had tears streaming from her face as she looked at her son and his best friend. She was thin and looked very weak from being in the coma for a while. Severus had a sad and disappointed look on his face. He was holding two brown boxes that had Lily's name written on the front.

"It was a boggart," breathed Hermione as she looked at her best friend. They were a boggart. Why didn't she figure that out sooner? She has dealt with boggarts before, so why didn't she realize that they were one. She violently ran her fingers through her hair, getting them stuck on some of her curly hair. She looked at Harry, before muttering, "I need to get out of here. I can't be here right now."

Hermione looked one last time at Severus, who was looking upset and was frowning. She moved right past them and out the door of his private chambers. She didn't bother to look back at him.

Harry stood there looking very uncomfortable. He didn't know what to say. He was happy that Severus didn't cheat on Hermione with his mother.

"Harry," said Lily, slowly walking towards her son. She frowned when she saw him flinch. "I would never sleep with anyone that is with someone. Besides, I may be out of a coma but I'm still not over the death of your father."

"I just want to know why that was yours and Hermione fear," muttered Severus, as he placed the boxes on the floor in front of him.

Harry ran a hand through his messy hair. "Albus. He just told us about my mom being alive and how she was staying with you until she healed. I ran into Hermione, who I told. We started fearing the worst when she only saw one bedroom door."

"Lily is staying with me during the day when I have no classes. At night when she is ready to go to bed, a hallway opens up in my study which leads towards a suite for her." Severus explained. "I would never have cheated on Hermione. She is my world. It seems like I will be giving Albus a warning to stay out of my personal business."

Harry paled. "I think we need to get Hermione before she ends up killing the headmaster."
