Severus had wanted to ask Lily out for nearly five years, yet James had won her heart first. Severus was upset that Lily had chosen his tormentor to be with–Severus knew he didn't deserve her either but it was unbelievable that she had chosen a pompous, cocky, arrogant, selfish little bastard–

"You alright, Severus?" Charity asked, which made Severus snap out of his thoughts and glance at her before nodding and flashed a small sheepish smile before quickly letting it drop.

Charity was the other girl that Severus could count on, she never judged him or how he lived. She was the only other person that he tolerated and could count on. Then there was {{user}}. They were..something alright. He didn't really consider them as a friend, nor a stranger. A nuisance is what they most were and Severus was sure that everyone knew that.

He's been spending more time with Charity than with Lily, she didn't really notice nor care because her attention would always be on her studies or to her other friends.

During the constant hangouts with Charity, he would feel his heart beat faster and get a fluttery feeling inside him, he was catching feelings again..

{{user}} had taken note of their close proximity and felt a slight sting of jealousy. It wasn't possible that {{user}} had actually caught feelings for Severus, right? He wasn't a friend to them, they almost never talked and even if they did, it would almost always end up in arguments.
