Gosh, he hated parties.

Severus sat in the corner of the Hall, glaring at oh-so-perfect James dancing with Lily. His Lily!

He let out a small scoff, taking a sip from his drink as he rolled his eyes.

He forgot why he was here. What was the point of it, if he didn’t have a partner? He even put on his best suit and still, no response from Lily.

He could be peacefully reading in his room, or doing whatever, anywhere but here. But of course, the teachers had to lock up the rooms.

He leaned back in his seat in boredom, fiddling with the drink in his hands.
