Always...

Chapter 3

A/N: Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling (not me, but I wish...) and it is absolutely awesome. If I do not get all the facts correct it is meant to be that way.

Lily's POV:

Sev is very kind and I talked with him outside all morning I had a great time and we agreed to meet same time same place tomorrow. Severus explained to me that I am special that I am a witch. I was offended at first but then he said that he was a wizard and that he didn't mean witch in a bad way.

I was just saying goodbye when there was a squeal from inside as Petunia ran outside with an opened letter in her hand yelling: "This cannot be serious. You aren't a witch, there is no such thing as Hogwarts and what is a Dumbledore?"

Oh my gosh, I had forgotten all about that letter. "You opened and read my private letter, I PUT IT DOWN FOR TWO SECONDS AND YOU PICK IT UP..." (ok fine maybe more like two hours but meh) "Give it to me now Tuney, NOW!"

As the words left my mouth my older sister let out a shriek as the letter came out of her hand and flew towards me and I caught it easily in my hand.

"So it is true after all. You are a freak and I hate freaks!"

These words really upset me. I mean, me and my sister had never been that close but she was my sister and she just told me that she hated me.

Severus' POV:

"... You are a freak and I hate freaks!"

Tears welled up in Lily's eyes and slowly rolled down her beautiful cheek. Girls like her should never cry. She sniffed and ran to towards the gate at the end of the garden not looking back.

Petunia looked up at me with a satisfied smirk on her face. I turned round and sprinted after Lily.

"YEA THATS RIGHT GO AND COMFORT THE FREAK I BET YOU ARE JUST LIKE HER!" Petunia hollered after me.

I followed her flowing long locks of ginger hair through a field of long waving grass towards a willow tree that hung over a brook. Lily parted the hanging branches and climbed through to a hollow inside the tree. I slowly followed.

Lily's POV:

I looked up from my hiding spot to see his face, he looked really concerned. I forced a smile and patted the space next to me. He sat down and rubbed soothing circles in my back. it made me feel better.

"Do you know what a Dumbledore is?" I asked minutes later.

"Why don't you read your letter?" Severus replied

I opened up the letter and read it twice over.
