"I.. haven't told you... who I was dating," Lily muttered. She brushed her hair behind her ear. "It happened on the train. And it was really, really sudden. And I swear I had a good reason to ask him out!"

"As...as long as...you're dating eachother for the right reason's or whatever, and he's respi-and- just- It's fine. I'm sure." it couldn't be as bad as she was making it sound, unless it was a somebody with an abusive relationship background, or a guy she was seeing for blackmail protection, something totally unfit for being Lily's.
"I...no him obviously. Our year?" he asked starting to walk again looking down at his feet studing each step, with not much care in her answer besides curiosity.

"Yea, he's in our year. And my house," Maybe he'd figure it out on his own. Then she wouldn't have to break the bad news.

He scrunched his face slightly at the thought. Not meaning to be so judging, I mean he already could guess that more or likely it'd be a Gryffindor.
"And I know him? Like...I just...should know him. Or know him, know him?"

"You've been... acquainted," She tilted her head and nodded slightly. "I wouldn't say you were on a first name basis.... or real names at all, actually..."

Now he squinted a bit as he looked up at her. Going from a matter in which he didn't care to hear a name in the first place, into growing tired of this guessing game.
"Umm...okay." he said looking foward with a nod. He didn't want to just come out and ask who it was, hoping she'd just say it on her own.

"Its... Jamhasm Potthded," She coughed the name into her hand. "Well then! Glad that's taken care of! Let's walk, shall we?"

After a pause of thinking that through, and stoping once again...
For sure, if he'd had a drink in his hand that moment, it would be sprinked out over the lawn, not to mention the remaining liquid in his glass a puddle around the broken cup.
He's body quickly tightened at the thought. He wasn't sure what to do. If he should play dumb, pretend to blow it off, confront her about it, let it pass by completely, change subjects... He just stood there searching to find his heartbeat again.

Lily looked back at him once she saw that he stopped. What she saw made her heart drop. "You're mad at me, aren't you, Sev? I-I... I can explain! Really, I can!"

I'm just insulted that you could have feelings for someone who treats your life long friend so badly. It was perfect, straight to it, exactly what he meant and felt, though what came out was-
"It-...w- ..." exhale. "How? I just...i- You two were...you don't even...you didn't ever even...you...you always said- it- but he's the one you..." the two getting together made about as much sense as the rambles coming from Severus. Lily never showed any kind of consern or care towards Potter, and next thing- she speaks as if they're practicly offical.

".. Okay, so maybe I can't explain," She winced. "It happened on the train. I got really emotional before he got there, and stormed out of the compartment. He found me and... calmed me down. And he was really nice, Sev! Honestly! It was like a different person! And we talked for a while. And he--he kinda defended you! And he just... He showed me that he actually cared about me... No one's ever shown me that besides... well, you."

Not meaning to be selfish and over throw her comments of the kindness she was thankful for of both boys, but he jumped at the words-
"Hach, defended me?!" getting a bit loud, but came back down. It was almost something to laugh about.
"I don't know, sorry if I'm crushing any dreams here, but cooome. ooon... Look who we're talking about here- this guy would do anything just to be able to touch your shoulder, or meet you in the eyes, I'm sure he'd say anything he thought you wanted to hear. Especially since it seems I must have been brought up in this conversation in the first place. I mean, I highly doubt Potter just randomly- 'You know what. I suddenly just happen to think that Snivellus isn't suuuuch an unbareble waste of space.' As if. Honestly, I can't possible begin to believe he would say anything in defensive of me unless it was to completely manipulate you into just talking to the guy. He was probably just using it as a way to get your attention in the first place. After all he's done, could you even take such a thought seriously that out of no where he's going to actually treat me as an actual person?"
He'd been talking with his hands most of his rant, delving and expanding, as then stared at Lily waiting for some kind of response. He truelly didn't mean to come on so strong, but when he was actually able to make complete sentences again he took off with it.

Lily stared, shocked that he would speak so strongly against it. Well, she reminded herself, of course he would be against it. What in the bloody hell was I thinking?
Lily crossed her arms over her chest and looked down at the ground, wincing as her feminine emotions got the best of her.
"He didn't say one mean thing about you when we were talking. And he actually listened to me! He... he listened and he talked back. We were having an actual conversation. For about two hours!" She looked up at him, though she feared her eyes were red and puffy. "I'm... I'm sorry, Sev. I didn't mean to hurt you."

Starting at his face going all the way down down his body, he melted in the guilt. He'd seemed drained of color seconds before, but now he even flushed- more than slightly. Severus clinched his jaw as his eyes were glued to top of Lily's head as it faced him.
"...Honestly, it's not....even all me. I just...I can't...be convinced so easily that two hours of casual conversation over powered six years of...everything. In all those years- it just makes it so easy to upright see that maybe he's lying to get close to you."

"I'm giving him a chance, Sev!" Lily said wearily. "All my friends keep telling me that I'd be good for him. That he'd be good for me! Why can't I give the poor bloke a chance?"
