Lily and Remus were walking back to the common room after a meeting with Professor Dumbledore. As they walked up to the portrait, they saw burning letters saying “Lily, need to talk, meet me in the Great Hall, S”
“Good use of the Flagrate charm,” Remus said.
“S? I think that’s Severus. Remus can you come with me?” she asked, turning around and walking back down the stairs, and off to the Great Hall. She heard Remus’ footsteps behind her.

“Why did you bring him?” Severus asked Lily as they walked in. He was sitting at the very end of the Slytherin table, so they sat across at the Ravenclaw Table.
“He is my friend, and you insulted him as well as me. What do you want Severus?”
“Lily I wanted to apologise, I just said it in the heat of the moment. Really, I don’t mean it at all, I was so angry at Potter.”
“I know you were Severus, but you have been changing this past year. You’re not… my Severus anymore. You’re getting darker and I don’t like it, and I don’t think I can be friends with you anymore, not when I’m a Mudblood and all.”
