She's Not Lily (Harry Potter/ Severus Snape fan fic)

Ch. 6 "Alright.. Sev."

(Lily's POV)

My new life at Hogwarts is starting to turn out better than I expected if that's even possible. Well all besides the new Defense of the Dark Arts Professor, she is a real nutter. She gave Harry a detention for saying something he believes in, that Lord Voldemort has returned. I had no idea who it was at the time but Mione filled me in. It's scary to think a powerful wizard is out trying to kill everyone but especially Harry, and muggle-borns seeing as that affects me personally. Speaking of Harry, he has asked me to go on a date with him to Hogsmeade tomorrow, I have yet to give him an answer. I have been debating on the fact I am older than him and I wasn't sure getting into a relationship will benefit me in any way.

After some consideration and battles in my thoughts, I decided I am going to tell him yes, after today's classes of course.

"Come on Lil, stop daydreaming, we are going to be late for potions. " Mione tells me while grabbing my arm and pulling me.

Oh, I love potions, especially when it comes to Professor Snape. Is it wrong to have a crush on your Professor, because I do? Maybe I shouldn't, maybe I should start paying more attention to Harry, he at least acknowledges that I exist. Professor Snape on the other hand barely looks at me, all week I was trying my best to get him to look at me again. Yet, when he did look at me he looked like it was killing him, I could see the pain in his eyes. He reminds me of a sick dog that I want to try to fix and heal. I love a challenge. But of course, the morality of the situation is wrong and maybe that is why my inner thoughts that said to say yes to Harry's date proposal said yes.

When we got to potions everything went the same as it went all week. I sat next to Harry and Mione. Professor Snape took points from Gryffindor, for why you may ask, I have no clue. Maybe it was because Harry was breathing, he hates Harry. By the way he stares at him during class, I am pretty sure if looks could kill, Harry would be dead.

As like every class day since I started Hogwarts, I tried to get Professor Snape to notice me, but again it failed miserably. The fact I would do anything for his black eyes just to glance into mine makes me think it's time to check into St Mungo's hospital in the psych ward. I know the feelings I have towards this man are so wrong, I barely know him. The only thing I know is that he's my professor and some very nasty things I heard from my classmates should make me not want to give him the time of day. Yet why am I having such a hard time ignoring the infatuation I have for him?

The class then was dismissed, I let out a sigh of relief because that means I get a weekend break to try to sort out these feelings. But before I was to leave I was called to stay back by a voice that sent chills down my spine. Not in a bad way but in somewhat a comforting desire type of way.

Get ahold of yourself, Lily.

"Ms. Duchannes, stay back if you will." Professor Snape told me from his desk.

Harry waited for me at the door but I just waved him to go on and gave him a reassuring smile. He seems too sweet for his own good. That's healthy Lily, not a crush on your professor.

Speaking of my weird crush I finally turned around and faced the man that I have been trying to grab the attention of for what seemed like centuries. He was staring at some paperwork on his desk like it was the most interesting thing in the universe, but what I could see from his eyes, wasn't. It seems like he was still trying to do everything in his power to avoid looking at me. Rude.

I glided up to his desk and pushed a falling strand of my red hair behind my ear. This is the closest I have been to him and I could feel my body shake with nervousness. Why am I acting this way? He is just my professor. Nothing to be scared of. Maybe he has noticed me staring at him and thinks I'm creepy. Maybe that's why he asked me to hang behind the class.

'This is ridiculous Lily just talk to him.' My inner thoughts rang through my ears.

"Yes, Professor?" I ask my voice echoing through the empty dungeon.

"Would you like to study more about Potions, Ms, Duchannes?" His low voice sounds like music to my ears.

Okay, so he doesn't think I am a creeper who does nothing but stare at him during class. Good.

"Of course Professor, that sounds brilliant."

He gets up from his desk and hands me a piece of paper while he pushes his greasy hair back from his beautiful face. Beautiful? No, I did not just say that.

I look at the paper and notice that is a consent form, allowing me to become Professor Snape's apprentice in Potions for the year. I noticed it was Stamped by Dumbledore also.

"You need to have your parents sign this and bring it back Monday evening when we will start your, uh training. " He tells me while sitting back in his seat.

"Thank you, Professor, I will owl it to them tonight, is this all you needed?" I ask while clutching onto my books and note. I am trying to make the quickest exit possible. The nerves are getting too much for me to handle. The fact of being in the room alone with him makes my mind start to call him beautiful. Is it too late to decline this opportunity?

'Decline the opportunity? This is something that will help you become better in your studies, don't be stupid.'

There goes my inner thoughts for the win again. Stupid thoughts.

He just nodded and went back to the paperwork he was so interested in before we started the conversation. I walked to the door but before I left I turned around to look at him. Hoping to get one more glance into his eyes.

I was taken back when my eyes met his.

"One more thing, you can call me Severus. Ms. Duchannes." Professor Snape said with what seemed to be a smirk playing on his lips.

First name basis with my Professor? Now I know I should be running from this situation. Yet here I am, stupid.

"Alright...., Sev," I said while giving him a wink and walking out the door.

Oh, I almost forgot! I ran back into the classroom and stood at the door.

"You can call me Lily."
