It was a stormy night in Spinners End and Severus had to admit that the weather suited his mood. He had lost everything and that a long time ago. He didn't know if it had been a good idea to pass the prophecy on to the dark lord, but he had no other choice, after all, it was all he had left. Severus snorted and flipped the page in his book over without really reading anything that stood in there. He was about to take a sip from his fire whiskey when there was a knock on the door. Severus frowned, who in Merlin's name would come by here at this time of night and in this awful weather? Slowly he got up and went to the door where there was another knock, this time more impatient. Severus pulled the door open and looked straight into the frightened face of the women he had always loved. His throat tightened and he was unable to say anything. "Can I come inside?" she asked softly and Severus stepped aside to let her in. Quickly she hurried past him and into the warm house. She went straight into the living room and kneeled in front of the fireplace. Severus watched her from the door. She pulled her cloak from her shoulders and her red hair seemed to fuse with the fire. Only knew he realized that she had a baby with her. He knew that she had married Potter and had a child with him but to see the brat gave him a sting. Finally, he found his voice again. "Lily what are you doing here?" he wanted to know. Lily looked up at him and he could see that her eyes were shining and he didn't think it was because of the rain. Lily took a shuddering breath. "We had a fight", she said softly and turned her gaze forward the baby in her arms. Severus snorted. "This doesn't answer my question." "It was really though Sev, I got scared and took Harry and went away. I didn't know where else to go. James he…I've never seen him like that", Lily said and her shoulders started shaking. Severus pushed himself and knelt beside her. It meant a lot to him that she had come to him, after all their friendship had died years ago. Gently Severus put his hands on Lilys shoulders. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry." Forcefully, Lily wiped the tears from her face with her hand. "It's alright but can we stay here for today?" Lily asked. "What about Potter?" Severus asked skeptical. "I will think of something. Please Sev." Severus sighed and nodded, he just couldn't refuse her anything. "Thanks", Lily said and hugged him with her free arm, what woke the baby in her arm. "I'm sorry Harry, Mummy didn't want to wake you", she whispered, rocking the little boy so he would calm down again. Severus was fascinated by how lovingly Lily treated the little toddler. Harry calmed down in his mothers arms and looked wide eyed at Severus. "He has your eyes", he remarked dryly, while the baby offered him a toothless smile. "Yeah that's what everyone says", Lily said smiling. "You surely want to rest, come on." Severus pulled Lily with him to her feet and led her to the second floor. There he opened a door at the end of the hallway. "Here, if you need something please let me know. I'm downstairs and otherwise my room is at the other end of the hallway", he told her and left her behind.
Severus starred into the flames and didn't knew what he should do now. Lily was here and he didn't exactly know what to do with the situation. He heard steps behind him and turned around. Lily stood uncertainly in the doorway, wringing her hands. "Thanks Severus, you didn't have to do that", Lily said looking up at him. A soft smile crept onto his face. "It's alright Lily, it means a lot to me that you're here." There was an awkward silence between the two for a moment. "Would you like to drink something?" Severus finally asked and went to the bar. "Oh no I'm still breastfeeding", Lily replied and sat down on the sofa. Severus smiled and got some pumpkin juice from the bar. Lily looked at him skeptically. "What it's good for mixing." "I didn't know you knew so much about alcohol", Lily said taking the pumpkin juice from him. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me", Severus said seriously and sat beside Lily on the sofa. "So do you want to tell me what happened exactly?" Severus wanted to know after Lily had taken a sip of her pumpkin juice. Lily sighed and put the glass on the table. "Dumbledore was with us. He would like us to hide, since we're maybe a target of Voldemort. As soon as he was gone James had freaked out and said he wouldn't let an old shriveled idiot tell him what he should do and that he would fight until he dropped dead. I tried to calm him down but it didn't work. He was so upset that I really got scared of him. Then…" Lily stopped and looked at the fireplace. "Then what Lily?" Severus wanted to know. Lily sighed again. "Then I saw that immature idiot again, who hang you up and I wondered how I could have fallen in love with him." Tears ran over Lily's cheeks as she said this. "Hey stop crying I'm sure you had your reasons. Even though I think he didn't deserve it", Severus snorted. Lily laughed softly. "I wish we would have reconciled back then, then things may be different." Severus saw Lily's eyes sparkled in the light of the fireplace and had to swallow hard. "What do you mean?" he asked in a strained voice. "Well maybe we would be together and Harry would be your son." Severus couldn't do more then blinking, then in next moment Lily's lips were on his and Severus wondered if she really hadn't been drinking. At first he held back, but then he put his hands on her shoulders and returned the kiss.
He didn't know how but somehow he and Lily had made it to his bedroom. She was about to unbutton his shirt when he grabbed her hands and with this stopped her doing. Lily stopped kissing him and looked at him hurt. "Are you sure you want this?" Severus wanted to know. He didn't want to pressure her to something she might regret later. "I was never this sure", Lily whispered kissing him again. Severus could feel the last of his resistance breaking. He put a hand on Lily's waist and turned them around. Dumbfounded Lily looked up to him and Severus grinned when he saw how swallow her lips were from their kissing. He bend down and kissed her neck, while he held himself up with one hand beside her head and opened her blouse with the other. To Severus' surprise, he realized that Lily wasn't wearing a bra. But that made it a lot easier for him to immediately turn to her breasts and pamper them. Apparently her breast were quite sensitive, then as soon as Severus started to suck on her nipples Lily started groaning. That sound excited Severus even more. "Do you like that?" he asked licking her nipple with his tongue. Lily whimpered and twisted under his touch. Severus' hand moved lower and under the skirt Lily was wearing. He began to stimulate her through the fine fabric of her underwear. "Sev", Lily gasped. Severus let go of Lily's nipple and looked into her eyes. "I want you Sev", Lily begged. Severus kissed her fiercely and pulled down her slip, then he freed his erection from his trousers. "Are you really sure", he asked between kisses as he positioned himself between her legs. Lily simply stretched out towards him in response so that the tip of his cock penetrated her. Severus could not bear this sweet torture and thrust his entire member into her. Lily gasped and Severus gave her time to get used to him before he began to move slowly inside her. Their movements quickly coordinated and so it was not surprising that they reached orgasm a short time later.
As Severus woke up the next morning he was alone and he wondered if he had dreamed everything but when he saw how rumbled his bed was he knew he couldn't have imagined it. He had really slept with Lily. But where was she now? Severus got up, got dressed in a dressing gown and left the bedroom. At first he went into the guestroom where Lily had put her son but neither the boy nor Lily where there. Then he went downstairs into the kitchen but there was no trace of Lily either. However a sheet of parchment lay on the table. It was a note from Lily.
Sev,
Please forgive me, yesterday shouldn't have happened. I don't regret what we've done but it still was wrong. I love James and that wont change I'm sorry. Thanks for tacking us in.
Love
Lily
Sighing, Severus let himself sink into the chair, what had he expected, that she would leave Potter to be with him. He looked at his left arm on which the dark mark stood out dark against his pale skin. No, he was a death eater and Lily stood on the other side of the war it would never work. Shaking his head, Severus stood up again; he would simply have to forget what had happened the night before. With this thought he set the parchment on fire and went back into his bedroom to get dressed.
