(JILY) MARAUDERS AND VALKYRIES : THE FALL OF SERPENT

45. The Death Eaters' Attack

Snape's fist was clenched as he sat in the Great Hall for breakfast, the food in front of him was untouched, he was not feeling hungry instead he wanted to throw up, he wanted to hurt, to rip his throat, to kill, yes that's what he wanted.
His gaze was as always fixed on the red-haired girl on Gryffindor's table, she was sitting beside the arrogant git Potter, and she was looking at him every now and then and was laughing as he continued speaking to her in an animated manner.

Potter stole a toast from her plate and ate it, she hit him on the arms playfully, but he stole her another toast, she just shook her head and then started stealing his food, Black tried to steal her food when she was focused on Potter but she caught him and with a flick of her wand sealed Black's lips together, making everyone laugh as Black struggled to detach his lips.

Potter put a hand around her shoulder and kissed her temple and she leaned into him, he then took a scone from his plate and feed her with his own hand and she smiled as she ate the scone. He then took a toast and put its half in his mouth when she moved closer to him and bite the toast from his mouth, and after eating it she laughed as Potter pouted, she then pinched both his cheeks as if he was a small child before leaning in and kissing him.

Snape has never seen her like this, so relaxed and care-free of her surrounding, he can't believe she would do this, he thought that this was just her dumb mistake when he saw them over Christmas and other times, he thought just like her previous two dates, this would be over in a week at most. Back when they were friends he had observed that Lily was not much into these things, she was the one who would focus on her classes and lessons, this was not like Lily at all, who didn't liked public attention, but now, now she is drawing attention towards her as she kissed Potter yesterday to announce to the whole school that they were official.

This was not like Lily, shit, surely Potter must have tricked her, there's only this explanation that Potter must have done something, probably forced her into it, manipulated her or given her a love potion, yes, this is what would have happened.

He looked at the two of them, they were looking at each other mischievously, their wands were out, but hidden, but Snape has caught them, he saw them flicking their wand together and then instantly putting it back in their robes and then . . . .

Then one by one each goblet present in the room made a "POP!" sound and colourful gases erupted from them colouring the person sitting nearest to them, everyone including the professors and headmaster was now having colourful faces, and funny looks and everyone laughed looking at other's face, except Snape who growled angrily, but no one heard him over the waves of laughter.

Then there was another loud "pop!" at the Slytherin table and a ball of gas shot up in the air bursting and revealing the words:

GRYFFINDORS ARE THE BEST,
GRYFFINDOR RULES,
SLYTHERIN SUCKS!

And there was another POP! from the teacher's table, from the goblet in front of Minnie and Dumbledore, another ball of gas and another set of words:

CONGRATULATIONS! JAMES POTTER ON MAKING HISTORY!

"I didn't plan that," shouted Sirius, "And neither did we plan to colour everyone's faces."

"This Mr Black is from me and Professor McGonagall for Mr Potter," answered Dumbledore with a wink, indicating the words above him. "As for colouring everyone's face, I have no idea who did that."

"And it will be detention Mr Black, for that last sentence," said Minnie pointing at 'SLYTHERIN SUCKS'

"Well it was worth it," grinned Sirius.

There was another POP! from the Gryffindor table, as Potter raised his wand and the words appeared, though it was lower than other words and small too.

HEY, EVANS, WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME ON A DATE?
