Severus usually sat alone on the lawn and this day started like any other. Except for the fact that he woke up with a cough and a slight pounding in is head. He was greatful that it was a saturday, he needed the day off.
So there he was on the lawn, sitting just beneath a shady oak pretending to read when really he was trying to close his eyes and get his head, nose, and throat to stop aching. He tried to remain relaxed as he heard a group of people walk by but his nose betrayed his hideout. Severus sneezed and rubbed at his temples, the sneeze did nothing to cease the throbbing in his head.
And as if to make things worse, he opened his eyes and saw none other than James Potter, Sirius Black, and Lily evans. James sneered "oh, poor snivellus has a cold" he mocked. But before he could say another word, pain seared in snapes head and he let out a barking cough. James and sirius both began to laugh and lily elbowed James and gave Sirius a look that could kill. "Stop it, you two, be decent human beings for once" lily snarled. Severus finished coughing and looked taken aback. Lily shooed off James and Sirius.
Once the other two boys had left, Lily reached out towards Severus, he leaned away. "Let me feel" she growled. Severus looked up timidly "why do you care?" He asked. Lily looked down at him, still unsure of the situation she was in and she whispered with tears in her eyes "the same reason you've been trying to get me back for months".
