One Night Stand (Jeverus/Snames/James x Severus)

Graduation

<DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IF YOU LIKED IT>

A few days later, it was graduation. Lily was absolutely ecstatic for James and Severus but knew that they themselves were not sure of their own feelings. They pushed their feelings away and decided to brush it off. The friendship was a bit weird  at first but whenever the two met, they would at least try to greet each other, whether it be a small smile or a smirk, or even a hesitant "Hi."

Severus was getting ready, he wore his best robes. He decided not to oil his dark hair but slicked it back with the hair products his friend and senior here at Hogwarts, Lucius Malfoy gave him for his birthday. Hogwarts held a large ceremony full of families and alumni, even a few others who wishes to recruit a few potentials for jobs. Severus was very pleased with himself. Dumbledore offered him a job at Hogwarts as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He accepted it and he would have to start next year. He scanned around his dorm and made sure to check every one of his belongings.

He took a look at the checklist he made back in First Year to go over again. Checking every potions, quills, parchments and others that he has packed. Lily decided to make sure Severus was included in her activities. They made plans to brew difficult and rare potions just for the fun of it at his house. Severus smiled, James and his friends, even a few Gryffindors apologized to him.

Although it was awkward, they really tried to be as civil as they could the past few days. James invited him over and though it took a while, he thinks that he should give James a chance. They had fun. Severus spent the last of his days here at Hogwarts with The Marauders. Though he saw them everyday, he was particularly closer to James than the other three boys.

His interactions with James was particularly fun and flirtatious. "Is it a good thing?" he questioned himself but soon shrugged it off, he still does it to Lily. It was quite strange to see them together and not feel such hatred towards him. Sure, he was jealous when James took his time away with Lily but it was more like he was alone and wanted his friend back.

The Marauders went to the Great Hall for the event while James headed down to the dungeons, waiting for Severus. He stayed there talking to the portrait of Salazar Slytherin. Severus heard Salazar speaking to someone. He came out of the portrait and was quite surprised to see James on the other side. James smiled, "Hey, you look good today!" he said cheerfully. "So I looked ugly yesterday and will tomorrow?" Severus asked pretending to be angry.

"N-no!" James exclaimed, surprising the both of us. "I- I mean you look extra handsome today," he said but immediately blushed. "So I look handsome eh, thanks Potter," Severus smirked. "James," he corrected him. "James," Severus said, nodding to him.

They walked to the Great Hall and Severus can see James itching to run to his parents. "Go, on James, I have to wait for someone," Severus excused him. James nodded and ran up to his parents and Sirius. Severus spotted Lucius and the two talked and laughed with each other. James saw this and felt a pang of jealousy. Then, he saw a woman with blonde and dark hair intertwining her hand with the blonde male. Sirius saw the whole scene and nudged James with his elbow, smirking at him.

James rolled his eyes and walked towards Severus. Severus nodded at him and he joined their conversation, "Hi, I am-" "James, James Potter. Last time Severus talked about you, he was depressed because of you," Lucius furrowed his brows, squinted his eyes and his face showed noticeable anger. Severus and James tensed. James stuttered trying to explain himself. "Excuse my husband. It seems that Severus here has become quite comfortable with you so I am assuming you two have become very good friends. My husband and I will have to talk to the other juniors here so if you will excuse us," the blonde haired woman dragged Lucius away. 

"If you don't mind me asking, where are your parents?" James asked. "Home, they don't really like to join in on events," Severus answered. "Well the others and I are going to sit with my parents, wanna join?" James extended his hand. Severus smiled and took it. James lead him to his family and introduced him to all of them.

They all went through the ceremony. After that, everyone went home. Severus was invited to multiple outings with The Marauders and Lily kept visiting his house to hang out with him. He moved out of Spinner's End to live at Hogwarts.

James prepared a bunch of rare ingredients to ask out Severus. He got some advice from Lily. She suggested to buy fresh black roses since they were rare and expensive. It's very valuable, especially to someone like him. It was for brewing the most potent and powerful potions. Severus was planning on brewing some for his collection and it would also be useful for his teaching post. I went to Dumbledore first to ask permission to visit him and he approved. I knocked on his door.

Severus heard a knock and opened the door to reveal James holding basket full of rare black roses and other rare ingredients for brewing potions, "Will you go out with me?" Severus was quite impressed. He smiled, "Yes, Potter, took you long enough."
