"You caught that huh?" he asked when she asked him what he meant. He figure that she probably would. She was always good at things like that. "fine...look this will sound weird, and hard to believe, but technically I'm from the future" he said as fast as he could. He knew it would be hard to believe, since well he didn't look any different. He still looked like his teenage self. There was no real indication that he was from the future, unless well you had been there when it happened.
"So Technically I've had about 20 years to deal with the whole incident, rather than 2 years." he said knowing he probably sounded crazy or something. I mean come on what would ANYONE think if someone was telling them this?. It sounded so far fetched, however since she heard what he said he couldn't just say it was nothing, and try and cover it up. Lily was way too observant. That, and he wouldn't want to lie to her.

She nodded at the question. It wasn't exactly easy to get these sort of things past Lily. Perhaps that was one of the reasons she was chosen for the Head Girl position. Of course, she didn't expect a real answer. She expected him to shove it off and say it was nothing, sort of like what he did earlier.
But what he said surprised her. He did answer. But was it truthfully? She contemplated him. That and everything she had read in the past few years being a witch. The only thing that made any sort of sense to this was a Time Turner, but simply put, they weren't strong enough. But if he was telling the truth and he was from the future, maybe they were stronger somehow. Wait? She was actually going along with this?
From what she knew Severus wasn't a liar. He never had been. But, then, how could he be telling her the truth? He couldn't, now could he? Him getting over it all so quickly and his sudden impression of maturity may prove that he was indeed speaking the truth. But, maybe this was just something he made up to get rid of her? She didn't believe that was it, either. She frowned. How was she supposed to know if it was real or not?
That's when the memory of their first meeting hit her. She didn't believe him fully then, and neither had Petunia. Well, Lily did and didn;'t. But, in the end, he had told the truth, even if the truth was so bizarre and unrealistic. Finding no other answer, she decided to believe him. Sort of. She still couldn't be sure. But this was her only option at the moment. The stunned Lily managed to nod her head. Maybe he was.
"Twenty years?" She voiced. "Why would you come back?"
Her question laid no hint of disbelief, in fact it bordered more with belief, though she was still unsure of the truth.

"Your sister just got engaged to that muggle guy. Vernon i think his name is." he said when he noticed she was uncertain if he was telling the truth or not, and said it to try and convince her more. He had heard from others when it happened, and remembered the date quite well. "Why?" "well see that's the thing. I didn't do it on purpose. It sort of just happened. Technically I'm supposed to be dead" he said.
"I was bitten by Voldemort's snake, and instead of dying well I find myself here in my 17 year old self's body" he said. he didn't understand why he was here right now, but it didn't matter. It was giving him a chance to change his past, which technically he already started doing, since well he and Lily didn't ever make up. One of the LAST things he said to her (aside from sorry) was calling her a mud blood.

She nodded her head almost numbly. Vernon? She wrinkled her nose at that thought. He wasn't exactly what one would call good looking, and she never really liked his personality. Why would she do something like that? Wait! She was going on as if she did believe him. She frowned. Maybe she really did believe him. Even if it was so absurd.
"She's crazy." She replied finally.
Not on purpose? Dead? What? He was supposed to be dead. But he was here and he didn't know why. Lily found that strange at the very least. She found herself nodding again. She wondered how the future was like. She wondered if this talk would change anything. She wondered how her future was like. Did he know? Or had he just avoided her forevermore? But he was changing the future.
"Dead?" She didn't like it. "Sev. What happens?" She didn't finish it. She meant to say to them, to her, to all of it.
She couldn't help but be curious. Anyone would be, wouldn't they? She knew that changing the future could be dangerous, she wasn't stupid, but she knew just by telling her that the future was already changing. Voldemort's snake? He died like that? Wait! Twenty years later Voldemort would still be walking around? That wasn't good.
"Bitten by a snake...." Ironic. "You mean, he-he's still alive then?"

"Still alive? of course he's still alive. He took over the ministry, and was this close to keeping control over it. Muggleborns were forced to register with the Ministry and many of them 'disappeared' the ones who DIDN'T register were hunted down. " Severus said. "He vanished for 14 years first, but yes he's alive 20 years from now" he said answering her question.
"and the Snake is poisonous therefore I'm not supposed to be here" he said. "and things are just bad" he said a few seconds later. "The next few years won't be very fun in fact they're well.." he said. "no I don't want to even talk about it" he said. "but it has to do with Voldemort. It all centers around Voldemort" he said a few seconds later. It wasn't word for word what happened, but he told her the main idea. He wasn't sure if he wanted to get into detail just yet.

She frowned as she listened to Severus. It was weird listening to him and thinking that he was...an adult in a teenager's body. But Severus was Severus, right? She didn't like it, none of it. The Ministry taken over? Could that even happen? Registry? Maybe she was dead then, in the future. Maybe they took her there? Why wasn't she back in the past, then?
He vanished and returned? Can anyone do that? It didn't make sense. How did it happen? And Severus wasn't mentioning her. Her fears seemed to be coming true. He'd avoided her at all costs, so truth was, he knew nothing about her anymore in the least. So why then, was he talking to her now? She really wished she could change everything now. Why did he know about Petunia then and not her? It was all so confusing.
"It never ended, then?" She voiced aloud. He never mentioned his downfall.
Bad? The years ahead are really bad? What was going to happen? Why didn't he seem to be able to say anything more about it then just that? She wanted to know, her curiosity burning. But she wouldn't push it too much, she was just glad he was even talking to her right now. She would focus on that. Maybe he thought her former self was naive or something, while he couldn;'t stand her adult self?
"What happens?" She decided to ask.

"No not really" he replied when she asked if it never stopped. "Well when he vanished it did, but when he returned well it started again" he said. "He was separated from his body and was weakened, but he had what are called Horcruxes which made him possible to be like resurrected in a way. It made it so he couldn't die. Basically he was immortal. As long as these Horcruxes are out there he can't die." he explained in detail.
"Well your dead" he said quietly, looking down. "and have been since 1981" he said, hating that he had to tell her she was dead. She did ask him though?, and he didn't want to lie. Besides maybe telling her would turn out to be a good thing. "Technically we never made up. The last thing i ever said to you was...well calling you a mud blood." he said.

She nodded again. Never stopped? The world was going to end by the sounds of it. She didn't like that idea. She wondered why Severus was killed. He was a pureblood and a former Slytherin. It would seem they would keep someone like him alive, while killing someone like her. Now her head was getting jumbled. What was he going on about? Yes, she was intellegent for her age, but everything was being thrown at her.
"Why did he vanish?" She asked.
Then came the news she'd been looking for. And it wasn't good. In fact, it was worse than she thought. How old was she when she died? Twernty one? She was so...young. She didn't want to die young. Why was she dead? All of this just because she was a muggleborn. Why had Voldemort even been born? The future looked ugly. This wasn't something she'd been looking forward to. She sighed.
And he didn't seem to happy to tell her. And he did know. She ducked her head when he mentioned the last time they spoke was when he called her a mudblood. This seemed to explain things more clearly now. He hated himself because they never got to make up before she died. But why would that even matter to him? Why didn't he try to fix it more back then? Why didn't he just forget about her?
"Oh." She replied. "I guess that explains alot. Well...maybe now that your back things can be changed."

" A prophecy" Severus replied to her question. "There was a prophecy that said someone would have the power to kill him or get rid of him. Someone who had a power that he didn't know about. The person happened to be your son, though it also applied to another person also. Only he didn't know that, or well he knew, but he went after the person who he thought was more of a threat. I was the one that told him the Prophecy, after overhearing it though i didn't know what he'd do with it. If i did well I wouldn't have said anything" he said wanting her to know that he would never do it on purpose though he figured she might already know that.
"My younger self WOULD have been a Death Eater right about now, though after everything he's done I'm not going to" he said with a nod. "I shouldn't have to begin with I really don't know what i was thinking" He said. Though then again he had been alone also. He and Lily never made up therefore he was more easily talked into joining Voldemort. "and i felt horrible you know. I felt that i caused your death even if I wasn't the one who gave you away" he said. "I don't know why, but i did" he said a few seconds later.
"You were under the Fidelis Charm, but your secret keeper was a spy, and turned you over. When Voldemort came instead of handing Harry over when he asked you refused to step aside, so well he killed you" he added figuring she might want to know that. "When he tried to kill Harry, because you sacrificed yourself it didn't work. The killing curse he tried to cast at the one year old backfired instead, and well he was gone for 14 years because of it" he said.

A prophecy? That made him go away? She frowned and turned her attention back to Severus. Her son? She had a son? Who would be the father? She wasn't sure she really wanted to know the answer to this question. She knew it wasn't Severus, and now her mind swam. Who would she pick? She shook her head. How did something like that happen? Was she in love? Was it forced? Was she married? So many questions needed to be answered. And she wasn't sure if she would like the answers. Nothing would involve Severus, in the fututre she was long gone and they never even made up.
"My son?" She replied.
What if this conversation made no difference in the future? What if Severus really hated her and he only wanted to make her feel better? What if it was all a trick? She didn't want to think about any of it, but she couldn't help it. She blinked with his next sentence. He had been the one to tell Voldemort. Did that mean he really killed her? He did hate her, then didn't he? And it was all her fault. But he wouldn't have if he knew what was going to happen? How could anyone think it would turn out okay? Poor Severus. What happened to him?
"I know you wouldn't." And she did know.
Her eyes widened more than she thought they could at what he revealed next. He was a Death Eater? So, she'd been right? He was hanging out with the wrong crowd, and since she was no longer there to help guide him he'd given in to it all and he joined the ranks of Voldemort. But, then, this wasn't making any sort of sense anymore. Why did Voldemort end up killing him, then? Did he kill his trusted servants? What did Severus do to make him so mad? She wasn't sure she wanted to know.
"A Death Eater." She shook her head. "Wow, Sev. You really can't live without me babysitting you." She joked, trying to lighten the atmosphere and she was sure she'd failed.
She ruined his life, she was starting to see this now. Everything would have been so much better if Severus had never even met her, she was sure of this. If he never met her maybe he would find a more worthy friend? Not someone like her, who only seemed to ruin things. He had to hate her, why wouldn't he? She wouldn't blame him. She nodded in response to his next sentence. What had she done?
That charm? She'd only heard of it, read it in a book someplace. Then she was in hiding. Who would she choose as secret keeper, if not Severus? No wonder they turned out to be a spy. She couldn't have had many good friends after what she'd done. Harry? So, was that her son's name, then? She wondered what he looked like. She could bet he had to be the best. He had to be smart. Voldemort tried cursing her child and she died protecting him? Voldemort couldn't kill her son because of her? Well, at least she died in a good way.
"Wow. My son stops him?" She voiced. "And I die."

"Yeah Lucius ended up convincing me in the middle of this year sometime" he said when she joked about her needing to babysit him. In a way it was true. She made him a better person in a way. When they stopped talking well he didn't care very much what he did, and was easily convinced into joining Voldemort. "I regretted it though. After you died well i just couldn't take it, So I went to Dumbeldore and joined the Order. I then spied on Voldemort for the next 16 years". Severus added. "Though Voldemort never found out, or if he did it was AFTER i was taken here" he said. Severus wasn't going to join though. "I'm not going to join though. I don't like how i lived my life when i was a loyal death Eater. The only way I'd join is to spy on him like I did" he said "but that's only if i HAVE to" he said a few seconds later.
"Voldemort isn't even a pure blood either" Severus said "yet he has all these followers who thinks he is. It's actually very funny" He said. "More than half of the Death Eaters have purer blood then he does."Severus said. He couldn't help, but to point that out. "but yes your son. Voldemort decided to go after the person who he thought was more of a threat, since the Prophecy could apply to 2 different people." Severus said looking at her.
Severus nodded when she said that her son stopped voldemort. "Yes in a way he did, because you didn't step away, and hand him over when Voldemort asked you to it sort of made it so Voldmort couldn't really touch him. It put him under this blood protection spell, since you gave your life for him. That means though that unfortunately Harry had no choice, but to live with your only blood living relative that's left, so the blood protection spell would stay making it harder for Voldemort to go after him" he said the part about petunia very quietly, knowing she wouldn't like the fact her son had to be raised by her own sister who hated her to begin with.

"Lucius?" She said the name as if it were a particularly bad curse word. "Why him?" She asked, but mostly to herself.
She shook her head. Everything seemed to be getting more and more difficult and harder to understand. This fact was probably the biggest thing that made Lily really believe Severus. She was sure that he couldn't come up with a story like this. She didn't think anyone could. It made no sense, everything that happens. Severus joining those Death Eaters.
Her face was flushed when he finished telling her about joining the Order and spying on Voldemort. He had put his life in risk over her. No wonder he died. She shook her head. She didn't like that. He didn't die, he came here. That fact was very significant. Severus couldn't die. She couldn't even imagine it. She didn't want to imagine it. It was hard enough imagining him joining the Death Eater's ranks.
"Oh Sev. I wish I would never have stopped being friends with you, then this probably would have never happened." She whispered.
She couldn't help but to blame herself, since so many things pointed at her being guilty. She knew it wouldn't have happened if only she wouldn't have told him to stop talking to her. Then the topic went back to the whole Death Eater thing. Spy again? Risk losing him now that they were friends again. But if it were for the greater good..no. She was still young after-all, she didn't want to lose her friend, if that's what they were now.
"I hope it doesn't come to that again, Sev. I couldn't..." She shoved the thought away.
Voldemort wasn't pureblood? He was claiming he was and killing those who are of muggle heritage. He made no sense! But she should know that, killers rarely made any sense. She frowned. Severus knew so much. But she was glad he came back. They both had a chance to fix their mistakes, now that she knew more of what she did she was determined not to let it happen again. She would do anything in her power.
"Why would he think my son was a threat?" Maybe it had to do with who she married. "Who did I marry, or...who was his father?" She questioned.

"The Prophecy said that there would be a baby born as the 7th month died, and born to parents who thrice defied him. He would be marked his equal, and would have the power to defeat him There were 2 babies who fit part of that Description. Of course no one knew if the Prophecy was really REAL or not, but when he heard it he decided to go after the one who he thought was more powerful since he's paranoid. he's afraid of dying, which is why he tried to take all these steps to make himself immortal, so when he heard the Prophecy he decided to put an end to it, not really knowing it it was Truly real or not seeing as sometimes not all Prophecy's are" He said.
"James Potter" he said quietly answering her question when she asked him who she married. Severus still couldn't stand him. He didn't hate him because he ended up with Lily, even though Severus loved her. No he had hated him long before that. That maybe had a little effect as to why he hated him, but for the most part the Hate had ALWAYS been there. He and James had NEVER gotten along, and most likely never will weather he died or not. It was just something that would always stay that same. Sure James saved his life, but he still couldn't stand him. Besides it had been Sirius' fault to begin with that he went into the Shrieking Shack on a full moon.

The parents defied him three times? A grin formed on Lily's features. She was a fighter too. That meant that she and her...husband had to defy him three different times. Lily liked that idea. At least she'd gone down fighting. And her baby would sruvive because of her. But as good as that all sounded, Lily wasn't satisfied with what happened. She still wanted to change it, especially with the small mention that her child had been raised by her hateful sister. Who knew how he'd been treated then. So one thing was for sure in her mind: Lily and Severus had to live. There was no changing it.
"I see. So, I defied him three times?" She grinned again.
She was alright with the idea of defying him a few more times as well. That's when Severus finally answered the question. She married James Potter? She shook her head. She could see it happen, actually. Only recently her mind seemed to be forming a crush centered on the Potter boy. James and Severus were enemies. She knew it must hurt Severus to know that Lily married his enemy.
"Oh." She whispered.
But she liked the child's name: Harry Potter. It sounded good. But that wasn't a reason to marry him. Could she have loved him? Did Severus know? Why was she even thinking about it? Of course she couldn't marry James Potter. Especially now that Severus was back in her life. Besides...was it even possible to have a crush on two people? She blushed at the thought. She was being stupid. Liking James made no sense in the least, especially when her mind seemed to be calling to Severus.
Why did it all have to be so confusing and so irritating? She didn't like it. A part of her, a rather big part of her, wanted to be with Severus, even before they started talking today. She was always watching him and she always hurt when she thought about him. But another part, smaller by several degrees, also wanted to be with James. However, she was sure James wasn't who she was destomed to be with.
"Why Potter?" She shook her head. She guessed it was probably because her and Severus weren't frienda at that point, otherwise she was sure she would have picked Severus. Now she was sure it was too late. Severus wouldn't want her.

He nodded " listening to what it was she was saying back about what he was telling her. "Yup three time" he said nodding. He wasn't sure what it was that she did each three times, but she got away with it up until that third and final time that is.
"No clue" he said. "I mean we still weren't talking at the time so..." he continued. There was no real way he could know why it was that she picked Potter. He's asked that to himself several times before. It was just one of those things that were never answered, which irratated him quite a bit though he didn't admit it. "Technically we've never had this conversation" he added a few seconds later.
"He has your eyes ya know, looks like Potter, but has your eyes." Severus said referring to her son Harry. Sure it was random, and he wasn't sure why he said it. He just did. He thought maybe she'd want to know. Severus loved Lily's eyes,, so it had been pretty hard seeing Harry the first time when he entered school, especially since well Lily was dead and all.
