Author's note: Thank you so much to all of my anonymous reviewers:

Thank you for the "after 'say' there should have been a comma". I honestly don't know how to go back to the past chapter and fix it after posting (this is my first fic), but I will pay closer attention to grammatical errors.

I do value all of your opinions, however hate will not be tolerated:

To the guest who wrote "I ship jily not snily its disguisting af hes like an 80 yr old and she is 10 that is rape": it is perfectly ok that you ship jily, there will be jily eventually from Severus's point of view. However, if you don't like Snape at all, this is probably not the right story for you, try reading some jily from maybe the point of view of James. Also, if you had read the books, you would know two things: 1. Snape and Lily are the same age and 2. Snape dies in his late 30s so he never even reaches age 80. Anyway, I never write sex scenes between Snape and Lily, and I never will, though if I did it would never be considered "rape" at all. For those of you who want romantic scenes, I probably will have some summer before 5th year.

Now let's move on to the next hate comment: "This was really good, but snape is ugly and does not deserve to be the main character of anything. Also hes annoying and killed someone." Thank you for the compliment on my writing, but I do again have to stress that if you don't like Snape, you should either read this and reconsider your opinion, taking everthing into consideration, or you should just not read it at all. His attractiveness has nothing to do with anything: it should be about what the character is actually like- his emotions, feelings, and thoughts (weren't you ever taught to not judge a book by it's cover?). Also, the person he killed was A. dying anyway (would have by that time) and B. asked Snape to kill him. If you think he's annoying, just don't read stories about him then.

Again, thank you everyone for taking the time to review my story, but if you're just going to talk hate about characters that I love, please don't because I will fight.

Chapter 5: Our Place

About another month or two later

"Where are we going, Sev?" Lily asked. That was her nickname for me.

"You'll see! Keep them closed!" I said, referring to her eyes. We entered that little path in the woods I recognized, and I lead her through it and down a hill.

"Ok, we're here. You can look now," I told her.

"Finally!" Lily opened her eyes and rolled them. Then, her eyes widened as they discovered what she was looking at: "Wow! Sev, how'd you find this place? Its beautiful". Which it was- it was like a safe haven in a time a darkness. An open field in middle of the large forest, at the bottom of a hill, with a tree for shade, and even a nearby pond if we wanted to go swimming. A tiny light in a dark room. Just like Lily. That's probably why I thought she'd like it. She likes good things. That must mean I'm good, right?

"I was out hiking-" I didn't want to tell her the truth: that I was running away from my father and never stopped at park because he had chased after me that day. If I did she would never look at me the same way again: it would always be those pity glances. Like the ones that neighbors who knew about my situation gave me, and I couldn't handle that: if she looked at me that way too. Like I was a wounded puppy "-when I came across it."

"Oh, that's not a very interesting story," Lily pouted.

"Yeah, but it's the truth," I smiled at her.

...

"Come on, I have an idea!" she said excitedly, her face bright.

"Uh oh, this can't be good," I joked.

"Come on, Sev!" she insisted, grabbing my arm. She pulled me back up the hill and turned toward me with a mischievous glint in her eyes. She then pointed to the hill, and I realized what we were doing: we were gonna roll down a hill. I havn't done this in years, but it's not something you forget. I lied down and let gravity take me down. This isn't so bad. It's actually kind of fun. This is the first time in years that I've felt like a normal kid. Before I even got to the bottom, Lily had already started rolling down. She tumbled into me, with a crash at the bottom of the hill. But it was clear that she loved it: she was smiling, her eyes bright and laughing nonstop. It was such an interesting thing to watch.

...

"Tell me more about Hogwarts," Lily inquired.

"Well... apparently it's huge- like an old medieval palace!" I say excitedly, and she smiled. "It has ghosts that you can talk to, the smartest professors of the century, a deep lake with mermaids, a forbidden forest, and big feasts at every meal! And to top it all off, everyone there treats each other like family, though i suppose it would be many feuding families. You see, there are four houses and each house is like a family. They are your family at Hogwarts," I continue to explain. "and each house has it's own common room and secrets.

Thanks for reading. Please review. Sorry I'm having some trouble with format.
