Chapter Three: And to All a Good Night

“Prat,” she muttered, pulling him towards her and placing a kiss on his cheek.

Severus settled himself against Lily’s chest, listening to the sound of her pounding heart return to normal, as she threw the blanket over both of them.

He wasn’t sure how long they stayed like that, tangled together. Severus stared into the dying fire, listening to the sounds of Lily’s breathing and the wind rattling the windows while making small circles on her arms with his thumb. She, in turn, was lulling him to sleep, her hands aimlessly running through his hair and down his back. In the distance, church bells marked the stroke of midnight.

“Merry Christmas Sev,” Lily said lazily, stifling a yawn.

“Yeah... Merry Christmas Lily.”

Suddenly, with a particularly harsh gust of wind, the lights went out, plunging them into darkness and causing Lily let out a small yelp and throw him off of her as she sat up.

“Sorry!” she exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands. “I just feel... I mean, I guess I’m a little... jumpy” Lily finished with a nervous laugh. “We should probably get dressed.”

When she stood to collect her things from the floor, Severus turned away, wanting, despite everything that had happened that night, to give her privacy as she changed. He began searching the darkened floor for his own clothes.

“You should stay here for the night,” he heard Lily say as he pulled his shirt back on.

“No, that’s alright,” he said, cringing at the thought of the Evans coming home on Christmas morning to find him on their couch.

“Don’t be stupid. It’d be dangerous to walk home in this; you can barely see anything,” Lily said impatiently. “Why don’t you get the fire going again while I get us some blankets? We can sleep down here in front of the fire since the heat is out.”

Severus knew better than to argue with her when she took that tone. “Fine,” he called after Lily’s form as it climbed the stairs.

He had coaxed the fire back into existence by the time she returned, struggling under a massive bundle of blankets, quilts and pillows. Rising from the fire, he took the pile from her and together they sorted out a make shift bed in front of the fire.

He watched as Lily’s plopped down, burrowing herself into the cocoon of blankets. “There’s a bathroom off the kitchen if you need it,’ she said.

“I’m fine,” he replied, lowering himself next to her, lying flat on his back and staring at the ceiling. He was acutely aware of Lily lying next to him. It was as if her body was giving of waves of radiation. He certainly wouldn’t be sleeping tonight.

Severus felt Lily curl towards him and instinctively he did the same. As they lay facing each other, Severus couldn’t help but stare. Lily looked more beautiful than he had ever seen her. In the firelight, her hair looked as if it was made of fire and her skin glowed golden.

“What?” Lily asked with a smile.

“Nothing,” he mumbled quickly.

Lily sighed. “Good night Sev,” she said smiling and leaned over to place a kiss on his forehead.

“Good night Lily.” Twining his fingers with hers, he watched her as she fell asleep. Lily. His Lily. Listening to the sounds of her even breaths, waves of blissful contentment washed over him. “I love you,” he whispered before drifting slowly to sleep.

Author's Note: I was a little hesitant to write this story, given that the characters are so young, but I couldn't stand the idea that Snape never gets Lily. I've read fanfiction where Snape and Lily are together later in life, but I wanted to keep this as realistic as possible. To me, when Lily pushed Snape out of her life, he was pushed out for good. I think that if Lily had so much as spoken to him after that infamous incident he wouldn't have become a Death Eater. I also struggled a bit with trying to balance writing something juicy and the fact that this is supposedly their first experience. I know I stretched it, but I had to give Snape something! I hope you enjoyed it. I'd be interested to know what you think of this last chapter, I almost didn't add it.
