"You are crazy?! You can't bring an alcoholic drink to school!! Do you want to get expelled?!" Lily immediately complained to her companion as she glared at the girl.
"Don't be silly, Lily, this is just for fun... don't worry... I have a potion that can end the effects of alcohol quickly," the other Gryffindor girl commented.
"I've never drunk, and I'm not going to do it here!" She protested, crossing her arms, not wanting to take part in it.
"But you could very well forget all your problems... And you know exactly who I'm talking about..." The girl said as she glanced at Snape, who was still messing around with Bellatrix, growling at him.
"..." Lily didn't respond immediately, while she thought and looked once again at the table where Snape was sitting.
She saw that and knew that her first friend was unreachable for her at this moment. First, he said those unfortunate things about her being a Mudblood... She decided she would never talk to him again, and he tried for an entire year to fix it, but she refused to see him as an equal again. After all, he was interested in joining the Death Eaters, and his interest in dark magic grew stronger. Even though she told him to stay away from it, he kept telling her to avoid Lupin, claiming he was dangerous, and Lily grew annoyed by that. To her, that comment from Snape was the final straw.
But he had changed... changed so much that she accused him of being someone else inside Snape's body. She paid attention to his transformation not only because the headmaster had asked for her help, but because she wanted to understand what had happened to him. Even though he openly offended and humiliated her, pushing her away, she still looked at him and cried over his words.
Still, as the year went on, watching his actions, she started to feel admiration, despite the fact that he did things she was completely against. There were things she admired—how he protected his friend, how he kept his word, and how he feared no one. So she couldn't help but feel attracted to him, even after everything... it was strange, but beyond her control.
Lily could see his charm, and she wasn't the only one. She felt her heart ache as she watched him surrounded by other girls, not to mention those who were interested but couldn't get close to him. Even some Gryffindor girls would ask about him.
"Alright... I'll drink..." Lily returned to her friend after breaking off from her thoughts and muttered, taking the bottle.
She wanted to let her feelings out a little, wanting to forget them or maybe even suffer a bit, as she grabbed the bottle, but she was stopped by her friend.
"Wait! Are you crazy? Not here, we'll do this in secret! If Professor Slughorn sees us... we'll be expelled. Don't forget to use this herb; it hides the smell of alcohol, so no one will notice from the scent," Lily's friend said.
"Got it?" She asked Lily and the other two at the table. Lily and the others nodded. "Now, hand me your cup, discreetly," the owner of the bottle demanded, and Lily handed over her cup to start drinking that night.
"Looks like tonight's going to get lively!" Said another Gryffindor girl.
"Finally, the studious goody-two-shoes is being corrupted," Another teased, looking at Lily as she picked up her cup and sniffed before taking a sip.
"Shut up!" Lily snapped back at her, irritated.
Meanwhile, at Snape's table, he continued holding onto Bellatrix while laughing, drawing more attention, while Bellatrix herself growled at him, and Severus just laughed, seeming to enjoy it.
