First Kiss Chapter one. Trying to work up the nerve!

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Snape was lying in his bed thinking of many happier times. He turned to look at the pecking on the window. It was a tawny owl looking in at him with a small brown paper bag. Snape rolled off the bed and walked to the window. “Why are you here now?” Snape asked as the owl offer the bag to him. Snape took the bag and watched as the owl flew off. He walked back over to his bed sitting down and opening the bag. Snape felt an odd sensation course through him as he looked at the pile of snickerdoodle cookies, his favorite with a note.

Sev, I thought you might like some cookies,

I hope they are good since I conjured them

instead of baking them. I never got a chance

to try the other cookies I had conjured, if you

don’t mind maybe you could let me know

if these are good?

Lily Evans.

Snape looked at her note, a faint fluttering in his heart. Does she not hate me forever?

Snape thought as he looked at the cookies and the note. Granted it didn’t say love but it was better than her completely ignoring him and not even remembering his favorite cookies. But was she dating James now? Snape dropped the cookies to the floor; he wasn’t sure what to do now. Snape looked sadly at the bag lying by his bed, looking forlorn and unloved.

“That’s me discarded cookies, that no one wants.” Snape whispered, a tear slipping down his cheek.

Severus sat looking at the cookies for a long time the sky was very dark and he could hear others starting to move down the hallways to the dormitories.

Snape bent over and picked the bag up. Looking into the bag he reached in and pulled out a nice round cinnamon sugar covered cookie. Snape stuffed the whole cookie into his mouth. Snape grinned it was delicious as good as the ones he had remember her baking for him at her parents’ home. Those were days he had enjoyed immensely as they sat at the table and fed cookies to each other.

The only thing that ever mars the fun times for them was her sister, Petunia.

She may not have been a witch but she always seemed to know when they were together and trying to enjoy themselves. Petunia could be counted on to show up and ruin the whole thing just her presence did it. Snape smiled ruefully at the time they were in her room and charming worms into pencils and she burst in screaming to unhand her.

Lily had calmly asked, how did, Petunia know it was a she worm.

They both burst into laughter leaving Petunia fuming at them both. Snape was glad she never came back since they had started making out after that.

Snape hurried and ate the last one as the boys all thundered into the room. Snape shoved the bag and note under his mattress.

“Man you should have seen what Bellatrix was doing.”

“I’m sure you’ll tell me all about it.” Snape said coldly.

He was right; Tony Nott had not only didn’t hear the coldness in his voice but had gone instantly into a long-winded explanation of what Bellatrix been doing to entertain the males of the house. Nott was happily acting as though he was dancing around the room in imitation of her. Snape found this easy to ignored, he had never cared for Bella, like the other boys, but found her snobbiness and standoffish manner irritating at best.

Snape preferred to think of Lily, when they were happy and talking and then some. Snape remembered going to the beach with her playing in the water and making sand castles. The lazy days outside lying under the night sky watching the shooting stars. The other nights of walking during a soft snow fall. Snape could see her so well in his mind’s eye that he felt as though he could reach out and touch her face, hold her next to him. Snape grimaced as he thought of Potter doing that with Lily. He was her lover and boyfriend, or at least he thought sadly he had been.
