Going Back- Hermione, Ginny and the Marauders

Chapter 7- The Alliance

James' POV:

Sirius and the new girl were getting too smitten for my liking, so I went to the dorm to wait for him. It had been almost an hour, and Sirius still hadn't returned. It may have seemed like it wasn't necessary, but I looked at the map to see where he was. I was worried for him!

I found his dot in the hospital wing with Remus. I looked closer to see who he was with, and I saw two names I didn't recognize. Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley. 

Ginny Weasley... I know an Arthur Weasley... and a Bilius Weasley. Bilius is in Romania with dragons- I think. And I think Arthur married Molly Prewett. They had been in their 4th year when I was in my first year. They do have children, but it is physically impossible for their child to be my age... 

I decided to get up and visit the four in the hospital wing. I didn't plan on bringing this kind of stuff up, incase they were secretly death eaters or something else. I grabbed my invisibility cloak, and started walking down to the hospital wing. I thought of getting Peter, but he told me he had detention... maybe I can rescue him from his detention! Now where did  he say he had detention. I remembered how he seemed very nervous. Maybe he's cleaning the dungeons... he hates the dark...

I found it odd that Peter had a detention at 7:00 am... and he seemed eager to get there. Who would want to go to a detention?

Pete had always been a little strange, but recently he had been completely off. He was always very tired, and he hadn't been eating nearly as much as he used to. Maybe I should take him to the hospital wing...

I rounded the corner and stopped when I heard voices. Ugh... Slytherin Death Eaters...

I got a little bit closer so I could hear what was going on. I cast the mufflito charm on myself because I didn't want to make noise. 

"So you're sure you want to receive your mark," Malfoy said.

I nearly gagged at the sound of his voice. It was like a growl, and yet it sounded like there was a bubble in his throat. I turned to walk away, but then I heard somebody else.

"He's right, Wormtail," I almost screamed in shock. There's no way... Lestrange"You don't want to start shying away. Rumor has it that the young Black is going through a depressive phase. Or Severus. That excuse of a boy is still in love with Lily. He should be over it, but this may be too much for you to handle."

"No, I'm sure of it," I heard Peter's voice, but the innocence was gone. He sounded different. Empty.

"Very well then, so tomorrow, we will summon the dark lord here in the dungeons. He will give you the dark mark, and you will officially be one of us."

I could fee anger in my blood, and tears in my eyes. Not because I was upset, but I felt betrayed.  I watched as Peter merely nodded, and turned to a dark corridor. I turned to go to the hospital wing, trying to pick up my pace to get away from what had just happened.

Snivellus loves Lily? At first I was angry, since I had thought he had always been creepily obsessed with her. Then again, he probably thought I was just creepily obsessed with her.

As I was running to the hospital, I noticed a dot labeled 'Severus Snape'. He was sitting by the Black Lake alone. I decided to take a detour to where Snivellus was. Even though I still hated the greaseball, it is terrible when the woman you love completely ignores your presence for most of the time you've known one another. And as much as I hate to admit it, Snape and Lily were best friends, until he made one mistake. And James pushed him into making that mistake... and Lily lost her best friend because of him. To be fair, it was the biggest mistake he could have made besides killing her parents, but I had made lots of mistakes and she doesn't even hate me as much as she hates him. 

I looked at the tree Snape was under, and walked towards him. I took off my invisibility cloak and I put it into my pocket. I lifted the mufflito charm. I casted an invisibility charm over both Snape and I, and I casted a mufflito.

"So, you love Lily," I said, and Snape visibly jumped.

"What are you doing here, Potter? Come to hex me, have you?" Snape said emotionless.

"Answer my question."

"You didn't ask a question."

"Do you love Lily?"

"What is it to you?"

"You do love her, don't you?"

"So what if I did?"

"And now you're a death eater because she doesn't love you back?"

"Who told you?"

"So it's true, then." Snape didn't answer me, "I'll take that as a yes, then."

"And what would you do with this information? Make pins saying Snivelly loves Lily? Spray it on the walls? Have me expelled? Cause if you are-"

"As appealing as those ideas are, I came to apologize."

"Why would you apologize? You're nothing more than arrogant and ignorant!"

"Well, dumbass, I love her too! And I know how it feels to have the one you love hate your existence!"

"So you've come for a 'lonesome soul' party?"

"No! Merlin, Snape! Don't make this harder than it needs to be! It was my fault!" I yelled, and he just stared at me blankly, "If I hadn't been taunting you, Lily wouldn't have tried to defend you, and you wouldn't have snapped, and Lily would still have her best friend, and she would be happy! That's all that I want. I want her to be happy! And you probably want the same!"

Snape continued to say nothing.

"Listen," I said, "Lily means the world to me, and even though I still may not like you, if you two being friends makes her happy, I'll do my best to make that happen! But you have to help. You can't be on the dark side of whatever war is about to happen."

"Potter, I'm in too deep and I could never-"

"Then be a spy! Learn occlumency! Legilemency! Be a double agent," Snape opened his mouth but I cut him off, "For Lily."

"No one can know."

"Not till the end of the war."

I reached out my hand, and he shook it. I lifted the charms, and then I went to the hospital wing.

A/N: Sorry this is a little shorter. I promise I have plenty of ideas for things to happen! Also I'm driving down south, so I will be in the car for awhile and I plan on writing! Also, you know how I mentioned that thing that
