╰┈➤✧.* IN WHICH
Severus Snape stumbles across a particular memory while being creepy 

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

Severus Snape had just mastered the art of Legilimency. this morning was the morning in which he had successfully managed to guess the word Muliciber was thinking (to be fair, Muliciber was practicing with him and opened his mind unknowingly.)

he had even managed to get a glimpse into the mind of Nott, although it was hard. he couldn't however get past Avery who was a mediocre occlumens. 

practice. he told himself. all he needed was practice.

all he needed was a couple weeks before he could sort through the mind he yearned to see.

he pushed himself to the breaking point, until, in under a week, he found himself not only able to break past Avery's weak barrier but also rifle through the other boy's thoughts.

only acknowledging Avery's grin with a nod, he glanced down at his time-table. Charms. with the Gryffindors.

perfect.

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

in Charms, he found professor Flitwick had placed her at just the right distance for him to invade her mind. her eyes glazed over, and he wondered what she was thinking about.

he didnt dare hope he still lingered in her thoughts.

she flicked a strand of dark auburn hair away from her face, and her green eyes flickered behind her, toward where Potter, Black and the rest of his cronies sat.

deciding she was focusing on Mary MacDonald, the girl he had hexed back in fifth, he whispered 'Legllimens' under his breath.

he hid a smile, as he was greeted by what must be her thoughts. climbing a little further into the swallows of Lily Evans' mind, he found what she had been daydreaming about and nearly threw up.

it was a person, she was thinking about. clearly a male. he was standing near a table clutching a parchment in a room he didn't recognise. he was also devoid of a shirt. 

Snape tried to focus on his face, but Lily's mind seemed to have been attached to his torso, a well defined one at that, enough to even blur out his words.

the hand connected to the torso, and Lily's mind's eye followed it up onto a familiar face with a head of very messy hair.

"why Evans?" Potter from the memory said. "does it bother you?"

"it doesn't bother me Potter" she said. Snape sensed it was unfamiliar on her tongue. her mind supplied an alternate.

 'James'

"all i asked" continued Lily, "was that you keep your nudity to the bathroom or your own room"

Snape decided that they were in the head's dorm.

Potter laughed. "and you fantasies?"

Lily scowled.

"kidding. does it bother you though Lil?" he said again.

'Lil'

Snape had never called her that. she forbade it.

"No, James" she said. "its.... distracting"

Potter laughed again. "i distract you, now do i?"

"fuck off"

and it was Potter's laugh that broke him out of Lily's mind. but it came from behind him. he opened his eyes to find Flitwick missing.

Aetheria Greengrass had apparently made a comment, and had the entire class in hysterics. even Lily. he turned to Avery, Nott and Muliciber all of whom were suppressing smiles.

"he does look like he saw a dragon" muttered Nott, quietly.

Snape frowned, and turned to Aetheria. "whats happening?" he asked.

she snorted. "nothing Snape, just a random thing" 

Snape frowned.

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

it was a few weeks later, when Snape decided to brave Lily's mind again. this time once more, her eyes were glazed over as Binns droned on and on about something or the other.

this time he was greeted by a very clear and astute memory of the same torso as before, but this time covered by a thin shirt, in a different setting. Potter was lying in what he could on what he could only assume to be was a large bed.

"c'mere Lil" he said, holding out his arms. Lily who had been standing at the foot of his bed walked over to him with no hesitation.

Potter placed a kiss on the bridge of her nose, Snape's face contorted in disgust.

"what's wrong" he asked, softly.

"nightmare" she replied. 

wordlessly, Potter wrapped his arms around her and held her tight.

deciding he could take no more, he attempted to break out before the feeling of 'secret' caught his attention.

directing himself toward it, he found Lily and Potter, curled up in what he assumed was a common room, laughing about something.

"go out with me Evans" Potter said suddenly. Snape hid a grin, awaiting his heartless rejection.

"i genuinely thought you'd never ask again" Lily said, a smile lighting up her face. "yes, all the way yes"

Snape thought he would throw up. he broke out of Lily's thoughts and into his own. so James Potter and Lily Evans were and item. they must not have told anyone or he would have heard. their fan club wouldn't leave anyone unaware. 

Snape scowled, wanting to obliviate himself

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

a/n: i wish he did obliviate himself that bastard. this was so difficult to write omg with my hatred of Snape bubbling up with every word! (easier than The Worst Friday though, ngl)

i think i'm gonna go re-read the stuff on FUDGE-SNAPE to yk, help with the trauma, not as an advertisement of any sort

anyway, the Jily was loads of fun to write, (CUTE), and i think i might just do another chapter with all the fluff from this chapter 

anyway, hope y'all are having a day as nice as yourselves,

lots of love from

ana♥
