Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter

Lily decided after a week of avoiding Severus that it she needed to talk him. She stepped outside the Gryffindor common room where she found him waiting for him. Exactly where, she had heard he had been for the past week between class, exams, and curfew. Her housemates did not hesitate to throw him dirty looks, yell at him, or send the occasional hex his way. She had that Remus had even hexed him pretty badly when he had gotten into a spat with the Marauders.

"Lily, I'm -," Severus started.

Lily cut him off, "Save it Severus, you made your choice. Last week, with one word, you decided to throw away almost ten years of friendship. We are the company we keep and I will not keep company with someone who does not value me, who doesn't have my back, who doesn't give me the same loyalty I give them. From this moment on we are no longer friends. Don't talk to me again, Snape. Is that understood?"

"But Lily," he started. Lily glared at him, but he continued, "You're my best friend."

"Best friends do not call each other derogatory names, Snape. You are not my best friend. Now please leave and don't come back. I do not want to see your face for the rest of the school year or anytime this summer. Do not come by my place and try to wiggle your way back into my life through my parents. Understood?" Lily said firmly.

Snape nodded glumly, "For what it's worth Lily. I am sorry."

"I'm not," Lily said. Snape looked crestfallen and Lily heart ached. It was over. She no longer had a best friend. She watched Snape turn the corner and she inhaled trying to stop her tears. She had cried enough over that boy. She looked back and saw the Marauders coming her way. Bloody hell, she thought.

"Evans," Sirius greeted and nodded at her.

"Black," she responded. Her eyes rested on James, who dropped his head immediately. At least he wouldn't be asking her out.

"I don't see Snivellus today," Sirius commented.

"I sent him packing," Lily told him.

"Are you okay," Remus asked.

Lily gave a mirthless laugh, "I don't even know what that means, but I will be. See you boys around." She walked off leaving the four boys in front the Fat Lady's portrait; tears streaming down her face.
