AN: POV: Lucius Narcissa Severus, not necessarily in that order, set in the school years of all three, and for my purposes, Narcissa is 15, Severus 15, and Lucius 16 ½, OK? And Severus and Narcissa are friends. Universe twisted to fit story, a few characters that i'm not sure are J.K. Rowlings, but i'll give into the benefit of doubt.

SEVERUS POV Noon, free study period before lunch.

I couldn't believe it, I, Severus Tobias Snape, had fallen for one Lucius Abaraxes Malfoy. How stupid could he be? Wait, don't answer that. The worst part was, Lucius was pretending to return his feelings. Severus took a deep breath, OK, you can do this, you need to tell him. I took another breath and walked over to where the gorgeous Slytherin prince sat, and started to say something when he looked up and said, "oh, Severus, could you help me with this potions essay?" I nodded and sat down numbly, I mean, what else could I do? Say 'sure Lucius, oh, and by the way, I'm madly in love with you?' maybe I could just send him a letter, yes, that would be perfect, then I heard that she demon from hell call across the room, "Lucius, darling, could you be so good" she stopped and giggled, "to lend me Severus for a few moments? Hmmm?" he looked at me, I shook my head, he shrugged and mouthed 'sorry.' I thought sorry for what, until I heard him say, "sure Narcissa," I glared at him and walked over to Narcissa, who stood up and pulled me out the common room door.

NARCISSA POV

oh, what a beautiful boy, I thought, looking at Severus, if only he wasn't gay. "OK, Severus, what were you thinking? You practically shouted out to the whole world that you are deeply, madly in love with my betrothed, not that I mind, but still!" he looked at me, "was it really that obvious, Narcissa?" I nodded, suddenly he grinned, "or is it that you want to keep me from telling Lucius? Are you jealous?" I looked at him, "you know I don't like Lucius, but" I slid closer, "I do like a certain girl in there who would be willing to do a foursome if you and Lucius were to-" he looked at me "if I were to ever get Lucius alone like that, I would never do anything that wrong." I pouted, "but, Severus, sweetie-" he looked at her "enough, I would never ever do something that idiotic, I would not." I sighed, of course not, but it was a nice idea...... I nodded again, "alright, you win." he grinned, "good, oh, and can I ask for an early birthday gift?" I nodded, "of course, what do you want?" I looked at her, "i want a barn owl, preferably female." I nodded, "i can have it for you tonight." he grinned, "thank you Narcissa. Thank you so much,." I shrugged, "you never let me get you anything for your birthday, so I just thought that if you'd allow me to get you something I'd do whatever it takes." he hugged me and ran back inside. I looked around an sighed, thank god for small favors, no one was around, and slipped inside and went to pen a letter to the pet shop in Hogsmead, asking for one female barn owl. Then put in the necessary amount of gallons, and went to lunch. During lunch I received a letter saying the only barn owl they had was a black female. I grinned, Severus was just going to love this! I showed him the paper an he grinned.

LUCIUS POV

what were Narcissa and Severus talking about? I shrugged and pushed the thought away, who cares? Narcissa could sleep with the boy for all I care, as long as she was discreet. Then I looked over my shoulder at the lunch table and saw them smiling as Narcissa penned a response to to the letter she had just gotten, and I felt an unfamiliar feeling rise up in my gut, I glared at her as she leaned close to Severus and an unbidden thought crossed my mind, I don't mind if she sleeps around, as long as she does not sleep with Severus. I blinked in shock, where had that come from?, I stood up and started to walk, okay fast walk, out of the hall. When had I begun thinking of Severus as mine? I mean sure, when he had been drunk that one time I had kissed him, and been sad when he hadn't remembered it in the morning, but then I had been drunk as well, but still, I was pretty sure he had enjoyed it. Was this what it was like to feel insecure? If it was, I just wanted it to stop, I had to find out, I had to find out if Narcissa and Severus were in a- in a- a- oh to hell with it!- in a relationship, not that I'd care, but a man had to take care of his investments, and Severus was a very pricey investment. I sighed, motioned to Regulus Black, and a couple others. I looked at them all and said "find out if Narcissa is dating Snape, whoever finds out will get a reward, in either a favor or money, now go." they all nodded and raced of to do as I ordered. I grinned, I couldn't wait to see what would happen. I smiled and walked off to my rooms, because as head boy, I smiled and flopped, yes flopped, onto my bed. Then I remembered I had potions with Slughorn, so I got up, grabbed my book bag and raced out.

SEVERUS POV dinner that night

I looked up and saw a beuatiful black owl fly towards me, I held out my arm as it dropped the note, which read

dear Severus,

here is your present, I hope you enjoy it!

Your friend,

Narcissa

PS i'm going to be with a date tonight, so don't worry

I grinned, a date huh? Was it that pretty Ravenclaw, Kyrie Smith? Oh well, I smiled and winked at Narcissa, thinking 'good job, Narcissa' I gave her a thumbs up, she blushed and mouthed 'Kyrie'i smiled and nodded in an 'I thought so way.'
