Imagine: Imagine that you had a HUGE crush on James, but after being done with him ditching you for Lily, the girl he knew you were jealous of, you sit down near the black lake and get a surprise visit from no one else but Severus Snape.
WARNING: Sad ending because im too lazy to make it happy-
"Hey, Lily! Wait up!" your crush calls, running towards the beautiful redhead.
You wouldn't be lying if you said that you hated Lily Evans. She always stole the attention away from you and always scowled at you. Having enough, you turn on your heels and run off, hot tears threatening to fall out of your (e/c) eyes.
Running towards the black lake, you sit down under a tree that had the words 'James Potter & Lily Evans forever' circled with a heart over it. Grabbing your pocket knife, you draw a large cross over it, covering it up. Finally, you burst into tears, the tears flowing down your (s/c) cheeks. Hearing movement nearby you look up with a strangled sob, to see Severus Snape standing right in front of you.
"W-what do you want Snivellus?" You growl, using the nickname you and the Marauders gave him.
"You don't need to act like that when they aren't around (L/N)" He answers, sitting down next to you.
"Now why are you crying?" He asks, his once cold frightening black eyes, a calm warm black. Hesitating, you respond.
"it's that darn Evans girl! Shes always stealing the attention away from me, and every time that shes around, everyone forgets that I exist!" You choke out, tears threatening to spill even more. Suprised that Severus didn't argue at you, you look up at him, only to be more surprised when he raps you into a hug.
"W-why are you nice to me Snape?" You ask, pulling away from the very warm hug, only to be met with his lips. not wanting to pull away, you wrap your arms around his neck as his hands awkwardly find their way onto your hips.
--------------------fast forward to the great hall dinner time-------------------------------------------------------
Walking into the great hall hand-in-hand with Severus Snape was... Interesting.
The Slytherin table smirked and nodded
The Hufflepuff table looked like they were going to bloody faint
The Ravenclaw table shook their heads in amusement and went back to whatever they were.
But what was truly interesting, was the Gryffindor table.
Everyone was freaking out, some smiling and fangirling, while others screaming about how the world was going to end. Of course, the first years had no idea what was happening, so they were just staring around with wide eyes. What captured my attention was probably the rest of the marauders. Peter looked absolutely shocked, his mouth wide open, some chewed bread dropping out of his mouth gross. Sirius' face went absolutely pale, he was slowly standing up, only to be pushed back down by Remus, who's eyes were practically glued open. And then James, he looked the worst out of them all, his face pale, mouth ajar, and eyes nearly popping out of his head. Snapping out of it, he looked down at his plate with tears forming in his eyes. Ofcourse you not knwoing, James had the biggest crush on you since first year, not wanting to ruin your friendship with him, he turned to Lily Evans, trying to see if he can form any sense of jealousy out of you but always failed. He couldnt believe that Severus beated him to you and he felt his heart shatter when you turned away from him to look at Severus, and that he could never have you anymore.
