Lily Evans and Severus Snape were friends when they were in school together at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That was until she started to date the class bully, James Potter and they soon lost contact. The only kind was brief 'Hellos' and quick glances.

Deep down Lily always felt some kind of love and connection to Severus but never admitted it. Severus felt the same way.

It wasn't until a few years after they graduated school together that they became friends again.

One day they were passing in the street in Diagon alley. They'd been there before together when they were younger to shop for school supplies.

The two started to catch up and slowly become in friends again. They would send letters and meet up every so often. Their friendship made the two very happy but they still had feelings for each other that the other knew nothing about.

One day they had planned to meet up in a small cafe in London. They talked for hours on end. Laughing and slowly feeling those feelings bubbling up again. Lily didn't dare say anything to Severus. She was 7 months Pregnant with her Son after all.

They began seeing each other ever more frequently. This was fine until James became suspicious one Saturday afternoon.

"Lily I don't understand where you're off to all the time. You should be more careful with Voldermort at large." James said to Lily whilst they were eating breakfast. "How many times do I need to say, I am just meeting up with some friends from Hogwarts. There's nothing to worry about." Lily replied coldly.

This wasn't the first time James had become suspicious and asked Lily where she often was and it wouldn't be the last either. He was just genuinely worried about her and his son.

2 months had past and Lily and Severus grew closer and closer again. It was now time for Lily to have her Baby. July 31st Lily Potter had her first child. Supposed only child to some.

A week after Harry's birth Lily began to feel guilty about what she was doing. She was stringing along two guys and not cutting ties with either. She was deeply in love with Severus but she loved James too and had just had his child. What was she going to do?

A

month after Harry's birth Lily had decided what she was going to do. She wanted to run away with Severus and Harry and live somewhere she wouldn't be found. She wanted to grow old and start a family with him.

Much to her dismay, James walked in on them sleeping together one Sunday afternoon after taking Harry for a stroll. Now he knew. The following day James made her make a choice. It was either him and Harry or 'Snivellus' as he said.

She couldn't dare leave her child so she talked Severus that they couldn't be together anymore and she had to stay with James. She never told him about James making her make a choice. She was afraid of his reaction.

Two weeks after Lily and Severus cut ties, Lily was feeling unusually nauseous one morning. This led to her finding out she was pregnant. She didn't tell James for a few weeks but he started to notice. They said they would raise the baby together so as to not break up their family. This was James' idea.

The only people who knew about the truth was her, James and Sirius, their best friend and Harry's godfather.

Lily had her child on May 27th. She named her Liliana Evans Potter. She really wanted to name her Liliana Snape but that would make it get out that she had an affair and would change things.

When her daughter was a month old she decided to write a letter to Severus. Things were getting heated with Voldermort and risk was around every corner. It was just a precaution. She explained to him what happened from James finding out to her discovering she was pregnant with his Baby. She told him that if anything were to happen that he needed to look after her children. She placed the letter under Lilianas mattress along with a necklace that had a Lily flower charm on it that she had received from Severus as a birthday present one year at Hogwarts.
