oh, my heart twists. Lily, you must get him to turn away from the Dark Lord! bittersweet, with lovely interaction between them. The orange-peeling scene is touching, pivotal.

Yay! And, wow! Fic! Happy fic! Jealous!Lily fic! Excellent combination and very creative use of my prompts, Mystery Author :)

“She did.” Lily shoved the slice into her mouth to put off elaborating for a few moments, but after she swallowed, she continued. “She looked quite upset in Potions class… I’d better go, then.”

She turned around, only pausing to nod when she heard him whisper, “Thanks.”

I love that Lily is the jealous one here, for a change. I adore the scene in the classroom, when she's looking for him, and worried about him. And her visit to the Infirmary is divine. And, he has a girlfriend! Excellent! In my opinion, there aren't nearly enough fics about others lusting after Snape, especially when that Toerag Potter is around ;) Unfortunately, Lily/Snape stories always make me a bit melancholy, given the inevitable canon outcome, but it's fun to pretend, and this story gives me such a warm, happy feeling. Thank you, so much!

I liked that image of Lily being caught between Marauders and Severus, not knowing whom to believe :) And the fact that they gave themselves the second chance :)
