CHAPTER 3
*He entered the common room and went quickly up to his bed. He got dressed into his night robe and layed down. He put his hands under his greasy haired head. He sat there thinking about how happy he now was.*
*He woke up at 8am the next morning. It was finally Saturday. He got up and went to late breakfast. He sat down at the Slytherin table. There was only a couple Hufflepuffs and a few Ravenclaws. He heard someone running down the hall outside the open Great Hall doors. As the person passed he saw flowing red hair trailing behind her. She was crying. He got up quickly, forgetting about breakfast. He ran for the door and got there when she was about to round the next corner.*
Severus: “LILY! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! LILY?”
*She stopped suddenly recognizing his voice. She put her hands down and slowly turned toward Severus. Her eyes were red and she had tears running down her softly freckled cheeks. Her hair was messy and wet from tears.*
Severus: “Lily, are you alright? What happened??”
*He walked toward her as another tear fell. He stood a couple feet away from her. Looking into her eyes. She was still beautiful.*
Lily: “Lu-Lucius Mal-Malfoy, he-he…”
Severus: “What did he do!!!?? Did he hurt you!!???”
Lily: “He-he took the picture of my mum out of my bag and ripped it up an-and he hit me with a curse when I tri-tried to stop hi-him. I don’t know what it did, I slammed against the wall and landed on my arm, I-I’ve got this splitting pain in my arm, I-I think its broken…”
*Severus looked at her right arm. It was limp at her side.*
Severus: “I’ll make sure he gets what he deserves!! I’ll take you to the hospital wing.”
Lily: “Tha-thanks, Don’t do anything stupid Severus!”
Severus: “I’ll try not to…”
* Severus started to walk with her toward the hospital wing.*
Severus: “What was so important about your mums picture? If you don’t mind.”
Lily: “Its okay, She died two years ago… That was the last picture I had taken of her be-before she died…”
Severus: “I’m sorry… I didn’t know…”
Lily: “Its alright, only Dumbledore and the Professors know.”
Severus: “Speaking of Dumbledore, I’ll have a talk with him…”
*They reached the hospital wing. Severus opened the door and she walked in with her head hung low. A younger Madam Pomfrey came out from behind one of the curtains.*
Pomfrey: “Oh my dear! What happened to you Miss Evans?"
Lily: “Ummm… I… Ummm. I had an accident while practicing a spell.”
*She looked at Severus for support.”
Severus: “Yeah, yeah, I was there. Looked bad.”
*Madam Pomfrey looked at her arm. She lifted Lily’s sleeve very carefully. Lily let out a sigh of pain.*
Pomfrey: “Oh dear, it’s a broken arm. This should take over night. Its pretty bad in two places. Snape can you have a Gryffindor girl bring her night clothes for her?”
Severus: “Yeah sure.”
*Madam Pomfrey got up and went to a cabinet. Severus pulled up a stool and sat by Lily’s bed. Madam Pomfrey pulled out a bottle of a green liquid and poured it in a goblet. Lily was looking at her arm. Severus was looking at her beautiful green eyes. Madam Pomfrey turned to come back and stopped quickly. She thought it strange for a Gryffindor and Slytherin to be friends like this. She continued and handed Lily the goblet. Lily took it and drank.*
Pomfrey: “Drink a glass of this every hour. I need to go have Dumbledore send a letter for me. I’ll be back soon. Don’t get up!”
*Madam Pomfrey turned and left for the door. There was a click of the door and Lily and Severus were alone.*
Severus: “I’ll stay here tonight.”
Lily: “Oh you don’t have to! I’ll be fine!”
Severus: “No, I want to. I…umm… I really like you, Lily.”
*Lily looked very embarrassed. Her face was almost as red as her hair.*
Lily: “I like you too, Severus.”
*Snape was now blushing even worse than Lily.*
