Snivellus Stalking Gones Too Far (open)

[Severus Tobias Snape]

Severus had been minding his own business, studying outside. He supposed that was his first mistake. Being out in the open. Sev had been writing his essay over Phoenix, for DADA, when who would've guessed, the band of bumbling bamboos approached him.

"Snivelly! How good of you to be here!" James said approaching the Slytherin with his wand drawn. Severus looked up at the boy and pulled out his own wand, but he was just a bit too slow.

"What? We're just going to have a bit of fun!" Sirius said, Severus noticing the shaggy haired boy had his wand out too. Remus was hanging around the back, not doing anything, which was part of the problem he had with Remus, though appreciated he didn't help out in matters like this.

"Leave me alone, Potter," Severus sneered, standing up, after setting his essay to the side. He looked towards his wand, which wasn't far, and he probably could reach it if he distracted them just slightly.

"Peter, get Snivellus's wand," Sirius ordered. The weaker and timid boy did just as Black told him to, and Severus spat at James's feet.

"Whoa! Don't you do that!" James said levitating the defenseless Severus into the air.

"Like I will take orders from you, Potter," Severus retorted struggling through the levitation charm, trying to get down. James waved his wand again, and Severus fell to the ground quickly.

"What would be the fun in leaving you alone?" Sirius inquired with a laugh.

"I'll let you keep your faces on," Severus responded, standing up, and before they could respond, he tackled Peter, grabbing his wand, and casting a shield charm, blocking a spell heading his way.

"We're just spreading fun!" Sirius insisted with a wicked smile on his face. He really hated Snape; he reminded him too much of his family. Since Sirius couldn't punish his family for it, Severus was getting the raw end of the deal on that.

"I'm leaving," Severus stated, not taking his eyes off the Marauders, his wand at the ready.

"Not if I have anything to say about it," James said, casting a scorgify, at Severus, and not managing to protect himself against it, he fell victim to the spell. Sirius approached him to take his wand again, but Severus managed to cast his non-verbal spell, Levicorpus, on the boy, before turning and running away. He heard Sirius yelling at him, but Severus didn't care. That is, until he was hit by a tripping jinx from Potter, and he tripped right into the wall. He collapsed to the ground, with blood trailing from his head.

"Prongs! What did you do?" Remus shouted running up to Severus.

"I didn't think it'd hurt him! I just thought he'd fall to the ground!" James replied running up to Severus as well.

"He needs the hospital wing, now!" Remus urged, taking his wand out and levitating the unconscious Severus Snape. Peter followed the three towards the castle.

"Don't leave me!" Sirius shouted, just as the spell wore off and he fell to the ground. He ran after the group.

It wasn't long before the group all arrived at the Hospital Wing. Madame Pomfrey yelled at them, but took Severus and laid him on one of the beds, casting a few spells.

"Oh a mild concussion... I'll have to keep him over night," Madame Pomfrey muttered before turning towards the four Marauders, "What did you do to him?" James and Sirius looked at each other, and Peter cowered in the back. Remus stepped forward, though hesitant.

"We were in the area, and we passed Severus. James wanted to play with Severus, but he ran, and tripped over something, hitting the wall," Remus lied with a sigh. James raised an eyebrow at Remus. Him, lying, for them, during Snivellus Stalking? That was as rare as Sirius or James being nice to Severus, especially Sirius.

"I guess since it's you, Remus," Madame Pomfrey sighed, looking back at Severus, "He'll be back in school tomorrow." Sirius was about to comment, but knowing he would, Remus glared at Sirius, who shut up at that.

"We'll be going now..." Remus stated, and the group of four hurried from the hospital wing. Madame Pomfrey sighed something about 'those darned boys', before returning to Severus, and smiling at him. He'd wake up soon. Word would probably get to the boy's friends and they'd visit him, so he wouldn't be lonely.

Severus was laying in the hospital wing bed, slowly gaining consciousness, but the splitting headache, Madame Pomfrey didn't treat yet as helping a headache wouldn't do anything if he was unconscious at the time. He didn't open his eyes, knowing where he was, wondering what he was going to do or say about it. He didn't remember what had happened to cause his accident. He suspected Potter and his band of misfits.

[Lily Rose Evans]

Lily slipped into the hospital wing, being careful not to be seen. She was pissed off at the marauders and really hoped they didn't spot her. If they did, one of them would end up in the hospital wing and she didn't feel like getting in trouble today. She walked closer to Severus and realized he was awake. She hurried back to Madame Pomfrey's office to tell the nurse he was awake before returning to where Severus was. "Hey, Sev," she said, walking close to his bed, "how are you feeling?" She levitated a chair over to his bed then sat down in it, leaning close to get a look at his head. "It doesn't look too bad, I don't think you'll have a scar at least, though I know it must have really hurt." She smiled sweetly at him, worried that he was more injured than he looked.

[Severus Tobias Snape]

Severus saw Lily's face first, and it was probably the thing he wanted to see the most. Her eyes were a beautiful green, which complimented her red hair perfectly. Since she went to tell the nurse he was up, her face left his view for a moment, and in that time he turned to watch her tell the nurse before he looked back up as she came back. Lily was such a lovely young woman that he really loved her a lot, already. She was such a strong beautiful woman...

"I-I don't feel too bad," Severus replied with a small smile. Especially now that she was here. "Just a small headache."

Remus walking with his friends away from the hospital wing, but excused himself, giving the excuse he was going to go study, before he hurried off, and went through a secret passage back to near the hospital wing without his friends noticing. He walked in, seeing Lily with Severus.

"E-Erm, You're here already, Lily... I-I was going to apologize for James, Sirius and Peter's..." Remus began. Severus, however interrupted.

"I don't need you're pity, Lupin," Severus nearly spat at the sound of Remus's voice, "If you were really sorry, you would've stopped them." Severus did not think of Remus as much different then any of the other boys, though he was just a hair better than the others.

[Lily Rose Evans]

Lily glanced at Severus, sadly, "you don't need to get so mad, Sev. At least he didn't hurt you worse," she said quietly. She turned to Remus, "you'd better go. And next time you feel the need to apologize, stop they from doing it, that's a better apology." She looked back at Severus, pushing Remus from her mind. He didn't matter right now. What mattered was Severus feeling better. She brushed a strand of hair out of his eye, "don't get too mad at them, they're getting punished, and they'll soon learn that they shouldn't mess with friends of mine. I've pranked their clothing to all turn green and silver in the morning when they walk into the mess hall," she giggled. "I may be a Gryffindor, but they're just arrogant jerks."

[Severus Tobias Snape]

"I-I wouldn't hurt him..." Remus said looking at the ground, before heading to the door, "S-sorry..." And then he left.

"It'll give them a taste of their own medicine," Severus said bitterly, not even bothering with looking at Remus when he had left. Sev was quite mad at those idiots still. Then again, they normally didn't send him to the hospital wing. Today must have been a special day for them, such fun. "I'm glad you're here Lily," Sev said, knowing she was the only person he really wanted to see right now, and here she was.

[Lily Rose Evans]

Lily smiled at her friend, "I'll always be here, Sev, that's what a friend does." And what love does, she thought to herself. "Please don't be bitter, I much more like when you smile." She just watched him for a bit, his breathing, slightly irregular from anger, calmed her. Although it didn't seem so on the outside, she was very frustrated. How could those jerks hurt him! Stupid, irresponsible pranks were one thing, leaving him in the hospital wing was something entirely different. She just blinked, realizing that she had been zoning out while staring at his beautiful eyes. She was just thinking so hard about how much James upset her, and how different he and Severus were.

[Severus Tobias Snape]

Severus readjusted himself on the bed, sitting up a little more. It was just a head injury, so he was not really sore anywhere else besides a headache that was hurting. "I'm going to kill them one of these days," Severus said calming down ever so slightly being happy to be around Lily. He paused for a moment. "I love you, Lily," Severus sighed, before he realized what she might react to this with, but he hadn't been able to think of a good recovery.

[Lily Rose Evans]

Lily froze for a second, completely taken about by his confession. Her heart started beating loudly and her mind raced with thoughts. She didn't know what she should say, she was afraid and confused. She had always had a small crush on the arrogant James, but Severus... he was sweet and always there for her, even if he hung out with the wrong sorts sometimes. She took a deep breath, "I love you too, Severus," she said quietly, smiling at him. She knew love was a strong word, but it was true. It hurt her so much when he was upset or hurt and she wanted to do everything in her power to make him feel better.

[Severus Tobias Snape]

At first, Severus was filled with happiness hearing those five words in a sentence by themselves. However, his happiness faded as fast as it came. She didn't really love him. She was just saying that. He really could be an idiot. And this exchange of feelings showed upon his face. He smiled, but it faded soon; emotions he normally could hide easily, but when it was dealing with Lily, he didn't seem to have any control over it yet.

"Y- Lily, you don't... have to say that just to make me feel better," Sev replied slowly, planning his words out carefully, unlike his stupid outburst, "I-I really didn't mean to... say it... I just sort of... blurted it out."

[Lily Rose Evans]

Lily looked at him before shaking her head, "I'm not just saying it..." she said to him. "I wouldn't lead you on like that, I really do love you," she knew he didn't believe her, but she had to make him... but how? She thought as she watched his eyes, hoping for some spark of what to do that would convince him. She truly did love him, no other guy was half as sweet and wonderful as he. How do I prove how I feel? He won't believe me unless I do something, she thought to herself. She tilted her head and looked at him, smiling at her new idea. She leaned in close to him and pressed her lips gently against his.

[Severus Tobias Snape]

Severus's eyes widened as she kissed him. How many times had he dreamed of the time when Lily could love him back? Too many times to count, and now that she was kissing him, it was much better than he ever thought. In his experience, love hurt all the time, and his love for Lily hurt ever since he discovered that he was so deeply taken by Lily, until now, when she apparently was returning his feelings.

At first he was too surprised to kiss her back, but after a second of realizing what she actually had done, he kissed her back, fairly passionately, feeling so much better than he did before. After a moment, he pulled away, not because he didn't want to kiss Lily, but because he wanted to make sure she meant to do that before he got his hopes up. "Lily... a-are you sure?" Sev asked desperately wanting her to say that she was most definitely in love with him, "I-I love you Lily, and I don't want to hurt you, or make you say something or do something," meaning kiss him, not anything else, for those perverts out there, "because of what I say."

[Lily Rose Evans]

Lily looked at him and raised her eyebrows, "Severus, you've known me for years. Would I do anything just because someone said something?" She shook her head, he should know her better than that. She knew it was just because his emotions were tied up to it, but still. "Yes, Sev, I love you. And yes, I wanted to kiss you. You have to know that." She scooted her chair closer to him and grabbed his hand in hers, entwining her fingers through his. She smiled, thinking about how much she'd thought about this happening, lately, and how nice his kiss was. "I really do love you."

[Severus Tobias Snape]

Severus smiled a bit wider now, thinking about how it was one of those qualities he loved about Lily. He loved how she would do what she wanted no matter what others said. "No, you wouldn't," Severus said, knowing that she most definitely would not, but he had to make sure, right? He felt her hand entwine with his, and he loved the feeling of her warm hand in his. "You should know, I've thought of this day, when you would love me back, for a long time." It was probably about when he was around 8 years old when he realized he was in love with her, and not just fascinated with the young red headed muggle born girl.

[Lily Rose Evans]

Lily watched his face light up when she said what she did, and she loved it. And the way his eyes glowed when she grabbed his hand, oh it was all so wonderful. She smiled, "I know, Sev, I've known for a long time how you felt about me," she had always known, though she had loved him saying it. He made it rather obvious, always jealous of Potter flirting with her, always next to her, always talking to her. "I'm not sure how long I've wanted this, but I know I want it now." She couldn't be more truthful. She really did want him to be hers.

[Severus Tobias Snape]

Sev was slightly surprised when she had said that she knew about his feelings for her. However, he had been quite obvious, despite him trying to hide it. It was always around Lily he felt he could relax and be himself, and open up a little, because everyone else he did not like, or hated with a passion. "R-really? I've... erm, always loved you," Severus noted nervously, with his smile never fading, "I'm glad that you... want this too... and I hope to make this last as long as possible, because just being with you makes me feel so good..."
