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

Chapter 55

Chapter 55

They were not greeted this time as they walked into the common room the next morning and went up to their own dormitories to change clothes for the day. It was going to be a good day. Lily thought as she headed back down stairs, not at all tired but feeling a bit hungry. It had been quite a workout in their private room.

Lily climbed out of the hole with the portrait cover and headed for the Great Hall. Lily heard a voice that sounded familiar; she slowed down to peek around the corner to see Snape with his hands on the shoulders of Narcissa. She looked up glaring at him.

“You can’t fool me Snape; I saw the way you were looking at her the way you kissed her.” Narcissa spat. I’ve never been snogged by him it’s not fair. She thought angrily.

“For the last time it means nothing at all.” Snape sounded exasperated.

“I told you I have to do it, I have my orders from the Dark Lord, and no I can’t tell you what they are; so don’t bother asking me again.” Since I don’t have any from him about Lily but I gotta get her to stop fuming over Lily, I don’t want her and her demented sister to go after her. Snape thought desperately knowing the two girls well.

“So you say orders from him, its complete rubbish Snape and you know it!” Narcissa retorted but not with as much conviction. Wow what kind did he give him; I know he talks privately to Severus all the time but wow new orders again. He really trusts Severus doesn’t he? Narcissa didn’t want to say how impressed she was with Snape, he was getting a lot more tasks then Malfoy was. Which was extremely impressive to her since Severus was still in school.

“Come on, Cissy, if you weren’t with Malfoy don’t you think I’d want someone like you a pure blood and gorgeous looking?” Snape asked her softly. Good thing the little doofus has no clue how to read my mind; she would so know the truth then.

He tilted her chin up to look at him, giving her a little tickle.

Lily felt as though her heart would break in two. It’s all been a lie for him? He doesn’t care about me?

She thought in dismay as she took a step back from the corner. Sev how could you, you’re using me for your stupid Death Eaters, have you really never meant to leave it?

Cissy looked as though she couldn’t decide on what to think now. She did look pleased to be called gorgeous. “So when you call her Li and let her call you Sev, then it’s…”

“Just a job I’m doing for the Dark Lord, she means nothing she’s just a Muggle a…”

“Mudblood,” Narcissa said with conviction. It was what she wanted to hear from him.

Not what I’d call her, I’d never call her that again, she called me Sev and I call her Li because we always have and it’s so special to me now. Snape thought sadly. Now I’m ruining even that precious memory of us, I am such a low life.

“Yes a Mudblood.” he told her softly.

Snape bit his lip he hated himself right now but had no desire for Lily to be in danger because of him and how the others in his house would act toward Lily if they thought he was interested in her and how fast they would go running to the Dark Lord to tell him.

“Ok I believe you Snape, or do you like Sev, I could call you that?” Narcissa said cutely. She moved her hands over his chest thrilled to her toes.

“Anything you want Cissy.” No please don’t ever call me that not now not ever. Snape thought desperately he looked apprehensive as he looked up and down the hallway. “It’s only one more day of working with those three so we can win this and not have to deal with them after this right.” He moved his fingers gently over her cheek causing her to flutter her eyes with happiness. Snape knew what she wanted to feel from him and to hear, and was willing to fill her ears with it, if it meant Lily would end up the winner of this and safe from Narcissa and from anyone else in his house retaliations.
