Chapter 13 A soggy Summer

Chapter 13 A soggy Summer.

Lily and Severus sat at the well-polished table of her parent’s home looking out at the heavy rain pour that had been going on steadily for the past several hours. It seemed the rain had only taken a small break from the last few days to get its breath back and start raining all over again.

“I wonder if it’ll ever stop raining.” Lily asked Severus who was dealing out some cards to them both.

“I’m sure it will, just in time for school to start. The weather will be great then, hot clear skies sunny and we’ll be stuck in classes.” Snape chuckled with Lily who couldn’t help but laugh at the thought. Snape looked at his cards, a bewilder looks crossing his face. Lily had started to teach Snape a few card games and he was still trying to figure them out.

Snape placed a few pairs face down on the table the kitchen door bang open with a loud crash. Petunia was standing there holding a small kitten by the scuff of the neck.

“This thing of yours was in my room again. I told you to keep it away from me and all my things and just keep it out sight where it won’t bother anyone!” Petunia screamed at the top of her lungs.

Lily hopped up seething with anger.

“Put my kitten down NOW!”

Petunia gave her sister; an evil look one eye seems to twitch as she flung the cat toward the back door.

Lily screamed in horror and ran to catch her cat. Lily caught him easily but the scared kitten had used all claws in fear giving Lily several scratches.

Lily turned toward her, her face screwed up in anger. Snape was also on his feet facing Petunia his eyes narrowed in loathing.

“You won’t have to worry about him as much as me!” Lily said coldly. She waved her wand toward her sister causing her to jump back out of the room screaming blooding murder.

“Remember that frogspawn I brought home with me?” Lily looked over at Snape, speaking in a deadly voice.

Snape nodded uncertainly.

“Guess whose getting it in her food!” Lily spoke softly but it didn’t hide the malevolence in her voice.

Snape roared with laughter at the thought. Lily sat back down and the two talked about what they could do to get it into her food without her knowing or would it be better for her to know it?

The two went over several different plans for it as the rain splattered endlessly on the rooftop. Lily was feeling much better after this and figured that planning it was at least good enough venting, for her instead of really doing it.

Snape on the other hand was whole heartily for doing it. He didn’t like Petunia, not only was she the worse Muggle he had ever met but she was always trying to come between them. Snape was more then willing to see the sisters bond broken. If it wasn’t already broken since they had arrived Petunia had been worse and was not above trying to hurt Lily’s pet.

Lily stood up stretching out her sore muscles from sitting so long in one position.

Lily was glaring at the rain-splattered windows before turning away. “Are you hungry, I can fix us something to eat?” Lily asked over her shoulder as she walked to the refrigerator.

Snape turned to watch her looking through the vegetable bins a small smile on his face.

“I’ll eat anything you want to make for me, Li.”

Snape continued to watch Lily as she brought out some green peppers, with a pound of hamburger meat.

“How about sweet and sour meatballs,” Lily asked Snape who looked quizzically at her.
