POV: Severus Snape<3
"I'm sorry." I say, coming to a stop.
Lily looks up from her position at the base of the tree, tearing her eyes away from her transfiguration book.
"What?" She asks, genuinely confused.
I sigh and sit down in the grass next to her, hesitant to dirty my robes.
"I'm sorry." I repeat, feigning exasperation.
Lily furrows her eyebrows but smiles nonetheless.
"Why?"
I raise an eyebrow.
"For being so rude to you yesterday, on the train?" I tell her.
"Oh! That! No need to be sorry Sev, I was being rather nosey. And something was obviously wrong, I shouldn't have pressured you to tell me.
"I know you'll tell me when you're ready, we're bestfriends." She grins.
I smile slightly at that.
"And besides, I've forgiven you for much worse before." She jokes, smirking at me.
I grimace, remembering the 'incident'.
I had called her that terrible word in misdirected anger, and yet she still found it in herself to forgive me.
I smile softly.
"You're the bestfriend I could have, aren't you Lily Evans."
She grins widely.
"Damn right I am, and don't you forget it!" She giggles, winking at me.
This draws a laugh from me.
"What's got you all happy, Snivellus?!" Black's voice speaks up.
I look over to see him and the rest of the marauders walking toward us.
As quickly as I can with my injuries, which honestly isn't that fast, I get to my feet and grip my wand.
"Get lost." Lily demands, standing up as well.
"Oh now Evans, why are you defending a snake like Snivellus?" Potter sneers at me.
"You're one to talk, Potter." Lily snaps back .
"Hexing everyone who disagrees with you just because you ca-" Potter cuts her off.
"Not everyone! Only the ones who deserve it!" He half yells, glaring at me.
"You deserve this you nasty little freak!"
Remembering my father's words I almost flinch.
"What has he done to deserve this!?" Lily all but shrieks.
Potter opens his mouth to answer when I beat him to it.
"Nothing." I mutter, glaring down at my feet.
"I haven't done anything." I hiss lowly, not sure if they can even hear me.
"Anything, to deserve the life I got."
I say through clenched teeth.
I'm so tired.
Squeezing my eyes shut I will back tears.
I will not let them see my weakness.
"Sev?" Lily whispers.
I open my eyes to see her reaching her hand out to touch my shoulder.
