Lily turned, her back previously turned to Severus, now she was facing him wide-eyed. She had made it a point to avoid him all summer. And would want to continue at school. Now she just stared at him, a gasp escaping her throat.

He stepped out for a moment to shout back at Marlene. "Yeah, do it and have fun explaining your expeltion letter to everyone." he said in a smug but calm tone. Confidence, but no smile. He caught eyes with Lily glancing over to her. Even at their long distance, along with nothing but the dim lights of the high lamps, the green could almost give him a heart attack. All their years together, he could read through her eyes. Although it was a bit sadder now, than he remembered.

"Marly, put your wand down," Lily said in a hushed tone, not moving her eyes off of Snape. "Before you do something stupid, you'll be seen."

His eyes began to water from his lack of blinking. If he didn't know better he'd just assume they were melting by the glare of hers. He had to look down, moving his hair out of his eye. He still wasn't ready to walk away. He shyly kept his head down but glanced up at the redhead. "Lily..." he started, his voice low and almost a whisper, but soon backed down. She'd reject anything he said anyway.

Lily didn't know what do to. Answer? Walk away? Run away? The only way to run would be home, and Snape was standing in that way. "I-- what do you want, Sev?" Lily tried to make her voice as full as malice as possible, but it came out soft and weary.

"I could care less about expulsion, let me just kill him," Marlene growled. She stood down though, watching the scene intently. One mishap by Snape, one little word mishap, and he was dead. Azkaban or not, Lily wasn't to be treated like dirt.

His wrists twitched with the discomfort that shot from her words onto him. You. Our friendship. ...A hug. "N-..nothingnothing." he rushed quietly, his hair slipping from behind his ear once again sheilding his eyes. He said he had no motive, but still he didn't move.

"I can't believe you're talking to that," she snarled disgustedly, glaring at Severus. The git. "You realize she doesn't owe anything to you, right?" she snapped at him, bitterness dripping from her every word.

"Marly, please," Lily tried to cool off her friend. And yet, there she was, rising to Severus' defense. Just like she used to. Old habits die hard, she supposed.

"You can't honestly be defending him over me," Marly stated in disbelief. "You've got to be completely daft. Merlin, Lily, it's about time you figured out who you're real friends are," she said, practically shouting the last part as she glared at Snivellus, again.

"I wasn't-!" starting to snap back at her, accidently talking over Lily, taking a few steps towards them natrually. Once he realized she'd spoke up, he stopped, quickly changed tones, and planted his feet. "I wasn't...talking.to.you..." he said through grinding teeth not moving his mouth at all until his last two word.

"Stepping towards me for a fight, Snivellus?" she asked with a scoff. "You can't honestly win, now. Even without your wand I'd win. It's pointless without your little Death Eater friends," she growled at him, her narrowed eyes in slits.

"Marly, STOP! And before you say anything, I'm not defending anybody!" Lily's voice finally went past a whisper. "I don't want you to get into trouble. Besides, he doesn't need my help. He said so himself." Okay, so maybe she was a little vengeful.

"Oh, but he does, Lily," she growled, still glaring at him. "He can't do a damn thing himself. He always needs dear Cissy, or Bella, Or Lucius, or even little Regulus Black by his side," she poked at him, her hate for him showing without any restraint.

He stayed in place, looking away from both of them as he chewed on his tongue without another word. As much as he'd love to spout some more with Marlene, he held back for Lily's sake. Even with her last words, practicly stopping his pulse completely. If words could make you bleed... Then again if they could he's wound would be nothing compared to Lily's...
