melwilNot my usual Lily, nor my usual Snape. Typed straight in here, just for the fun. Blame the Whitlams.
She stood in the middle of his bedroom and smiled at him. She was dressed in muggle clothing, but had kicked her shoes off at the front door. Her toenails were painted red.
"What are you doing here?" He realised that he was whispering, that he couldn't quite find his voice.
"I had to see you."
"Here?" He closed the door quickly and quietly. "Lily, it's not safe for you here, we've got guests - "
"Your mother let me in."
"My mother is insane." He watched her sit on his bed, watched as she picked up his pillow and held it close to her.
"Are you ashamed of me, Severus?" She peered at him over the top of the pillow. "Are you ashamed of our relationship? Is that why we don't tell anyone?"
She was too naive. "Have you learnt anything at Hogwarts, Lily? Has a single bit of school politics sunk into your head? Don't you understand what is going on in the wizarding world?"
"I don't see what it has to do with us."
"I'm scared, Lily. Scared for you, scared for me. You're a muggle-born and my family are pureblood. There's a lot of people who wouldn't like our relationship."
"Not to mention James and Sirius." She whispered.
"Exactly."
