Severus and Lily

Chapter 2: Severus and Lily - When I was Your Man

'Shame there but it feels just a little bit bigger now/ our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same/ when our friends talk about you all it does is just tear me down/ cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name/ it all just sounds like ooooh ooh ooh ooh oohhh'

Severus scowled as he watched from afar, the girl he loved was walking with the man he despised, holding hands, and oblivious to the world around them. It angered him that he could make her smile while he couldn't.

He was angry because that should've been him walking with her, smiling and laughing without a care in the world. He growled lowly as he watched them, wondering where it was that he went wrong.

'Too dumb, too young to realize/ that I should've bought you flowers, and held your hand/ should've gave you all my hours, when I had the chance/ take you to every party, 'cause all you wanted to do was dance/ Now my baby's dancing, but she's dancing with another man'

-Fourth Year-

A younger Severus walked down the ha with a red-head bouncing next to him, a smile on her face as they walked down the hall. Though the smile slowly slipped. as every time she went to grab his hand, he moved it away from her, and out of her reach. Eventually, the red-head gave up, and sighed, folding her arms over her chest. She did it everyday, and Severus was never too sure why. They were dating, but he didn't see why he had to display it.

~a few months after~

The red-headed girl bounded through the halls, looking for her dark-haired boyfriend. She skidded around corners and dashed down halls, until she cane across the room she knew he would be in. Slowly, she pushed open the door and crept into the room. She closed it softly behind her, and leaned against it, observing the boy she was growing to love.

Emerald eyes sparked, as she walked over to the boy, "Sev?"

The dark-haired boy lifted his head from the couldren in front of him slightly to see her, "Yes, Lily?"

"Have you been in here all day? That's not good for you Sev, it's nice out, come outside with me, and we'll relax under our tree. And there's a Hogsmead trip tomorrow, I was wondering if you wanted to go with me," Lily said as she stood in front of the cauldron.

Severus sighed as get shook his head and returned his gaze to the potion he was working on, "I can't Lily, I need to stay here and work on this potion, and it's very delicate. If I leave it for just a moment, it'll be ruined. Why don't you just go with one of your friends?"

With his face in the couldren, he missed the hurt and pain that flickered across the young girls face, "A-alright, I guess I can go with Alice then..."

Severus gave a small nod as his mind returned to the potion. Lily sighed softly and shook her head as she made her way to leave the room. At the door, she turned back and gave her boyfriend a sad look, before she finally left the room.

..........

Valentine's Day, and the Great Hall was decorated in shaped of pink, red, and white. Severus scowled as he made his way over to the Slytherin table.

Lily, on through other hand, was smiling as she made her way to her table. It was her and Sev's first Valentine's, and she was nervous and anxious, she wondered if Sev had gotten her something, when the dark-haired boy that was James Potter stepped out in front of her. She scowled; Potter was the bane of her existence, always trying to get her to go out with him. It annoyed her to no end.

James held out a small box and a single long steamed rose, "Happy Valentine's Day, Lily. It's ah, perfume, light and summery, just like you."

Lily blinked as she looked at the gifts before her. With a very small smile, she took them, "Thank you, Potter," and walked over to her spot.
