Severus Snape: Hello Lily! Are you free right now? I'm skiving off classes and heading to London. It's in the best interest of my students...if I see another melted cauldron I'll turn the lot of them into hairy toads! As I was saying I'll be in Diagon Alley to purchase supplies for my potion's stores and I thought it would be nice to speak to someone whom I don't wish to hex within 30 seconds. If not for me think of the children *smirk*
Lily Evans: Lily was at her office, doing some paper work when a sudden voice broke the prevailing silence like a boom of thunder. Instead of getting frightened or disturbed, it made her smile as she recognized the person and undoubtedly, no one could lighten up her mood more than him. She was joyful for being able to escape the utter boredom, for finding an excuse to go away from this not so interesting assignment. Lily then looked up and with a smile, welcomed Severus. "Great timing Severus. I've been bored out of my brain!"
She stood up immediately as he started to speak and made her chuckle at the innovative idea for punishment, which Lily very well knew that Severus didn't mean to perform at all.At the mention of hex, she laughed and bowed mockingly, "Thank you, I'm obliged thereby."
"Potions store! I haven't been there in ages"Lily threw a side way glance at her working table "For now, I'd like to think about myself and myself only and thus, give you my consent" Her eyes twinkled as a beaming smile appeared unknowingly. She changed her Ministry robe into a Tartan red one with a hasty bit of wand work and then skipped off to the Ministry fireplace. "After you Sev.."
Severus Snape: Snape raised an eyebrow at Lily's robe. Although he thought she looked quite good in it he couldn't resist teasing Lily. Severus reached out to pinch the fabric of Lily's robe querying "Shades of McGonagall Lil? I know you admire the woman but don't you think this is taking Gryffindor pride a little too far?"
Before Lily could respond to his taunt Severus swept out his arm to the floo in a flourish exclaiming "After you my lady." But before Lily could take two steps to the floo his arm jerked out again this time to bar Lily's path. "On second thought...after me I think." And on that note Severus swept into the fireplace enunciating "Diagon Alley". With a whoosh he was gone smirking at the thought of what would no doubt be Lily's most interesting reaction to his behaviour. He just hoped she wouldn't hex first and ask questions later!
Lily Evans: Lily gasped in sudden movement of Severus as she was about to take the floo powder and give an equally kind answer to him. The poor Lily watched him vanish with a whoosh and then laughed amusingly. She then took the floo powder and entered the grate, "Diagon Alley" she shouted and momentarily was gone with a flash of green flames.
"Severus I suggest you take tour to the St. Mungo's and I promise you it will be free... " Lily stepped out of the grate, brushed the soot and looked up at Snape with a witty remark on face.
Severus Snape: Severus couldn't help smirking at Lily's suggestion. "On the contrary my little flower *smirk deepens at this*, quite the opposite in fact. You see I realized that if you came through to Diagon Alley first you would no doubt be approached by someone or the other who you once passed the sugar to at some luncheon or other but somehow that made you the BEST of friends and then they would engage you in some tedious discussion of their Cousin Ernie's latest bout of spattergroit, the poor soul *said with patented sneer*. I would then have to wait for Merlin only knows how long while you futilely tried to politely disengage yourself from said person. Then of course I would have to step in in all my menacing and snarky glory and rescue you. So I just saved us a half an hour of tedious boredom. You can thank me by treating me to lunch!" Severus raised an eyebrow as if to say "Well now what do you have to say to that?"
Lily Evans: She blinked for few seconds and then tucked a flock of hair behind her ears, embarrassed and undecided about how to answer this surprisingly absolute analysis! She was indeed regarded by many as BEST of friends whom she probably had known for only few weeks and most of them do bring tiresome discussions sometimes. But then she chuckled at his sneering and the way he was blatantly proclaiming his abilities. "I.. erm.." She straightened up and continued "Well, I'm privileged by your presence.." with a brief nod she continued "...and it will be my pleasure to treat you to a lunch; no uncertainty at that. I was referring to a St. Mungo's trip together someday. You know, I'm always there for you in your need.
Let's move on, shall we now?" and immediately she stepped forward before he could cut it, as she suppressed a hearty chuckle at Severus's exasperated look that vividly came into her mind.
