"You need to stay away from Snape."
"And why is that, Mr. Potter?" I ask him while staring out in the distance from the Hogwarts Express window.
"He fancies you!"
Harry gave me a big lecture on how Severus is a creepy old git, and all he thinks about is me. I had to look up at the gloomy, cold sky to keep myself from smiling at the fact. But I can't help but question whether Harry is right. I need to stay away from him. The relationship I share with Severus is unhealthy but, most importantly, morally wrong.
I started to admire a wall that seemed to have a family tree of the blacks. Harry told me so much about his godfather, Sirius, and he seemed like a great man. I found his name on the wall and noticed where the drawing was supposed to be now replaced with a black patch like it was burned to the crisp.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" I heard a groggy voice question from behind me. By the sound of his voice, it sounded like he had just awoken.
A hand grabbed my wrist to turn me around to face the owner. There stood Sirius Black; I could tell it was him because Harry showed me a picture of him. He looked a lot older now from when that picture was taken, more rugged and worn out if I might add.
"Lily?"
He put his hand up to my face, and on impulse, I flinched when his cold hand touched my cheek. His eyes showed shock and sadness, and a lonely tear slid down his face.
"So Harry has told you about me, yes?"
I step back, bumping into the wall I was admiring momentarily. He looked at me from head to toe, like a little kid looks at something they are unsure of. I hear the door open and notice a red mop of hair. Thank you, Ron!
"Lily, Harry was looking for you everywhere, he thought you must have ran away!" Ron said over dramatically; leave it to Ron, the emotional range of a teaspoon.
Sirius looked at me, then back at Ron, and cocked his head, making him look like a confused puppy dog. Then, out of nowhere, he started laughing. What a nutter, he was crying, and now he's laughing. What was in his tea this morning?
"Your Harry's girlfriend?" Sirius questions in between laughter.
I don't know if I should be insulted by his laughter or amused. I nod yes and look at him like he has two heads.
"You have no idea, do you?"
"I have no idea about what?"
"That you look like Lily Potter."
