<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #FFFF00">Lily Evans Potter</span></span></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Lily sat where she was, her attention split between Severus and the piece of Hogsmeade she could see through the window. It wasn’t really interesting, as it was just an empty piece of street she had already seen a million times. After having been locked into a room for what felt to her like forever, though, anything was incredibly interesting for Lily. <br/><br/>For most of the time, her attention was focused solely on the outside view - not so much for safety, but to feast her eyes in the view and the sense of freedom it brought her, even being indoors. <br/><br/>It was hearing Snape’s voice take a different intonation - even though she couldn’t hear exactly what he was saying - that finally caused Lily to focus back on what was happening inside the bar.<br/><br/>Seeing that he was speaking to students, Lily couldn’t help but smile. <span style="font-style: italic">He couldn’t help himself, could he?</span>, she thought to herself. The kids were simply enjoying their time in there, as she had done several times when she was her age. <br/><br/>With a soft sigh, Lily closed her eyes for a moment, thinking about her past for a while. She had lived so many happy moments in Hogsmeade with James, Sirius, Remus and Peter. Thinking about James was like being punched all of a sudden. The wave of pain inside her was so intense Lily felt physically ill. <br/><br/>Feeling the need for some fresh air - and not really thinking straight -, Lilly stood up, a bit unsteady on her feet. Not even thinking to warn Severus that she needed some fresh air, Lily stepped outside and took a few steps before taking a long and deep breath. She needed to control herself. And she needed to go back inside.<br/><br/>That was exactly what Lily was about to do, when she felt an iron grip on her arm. Reaching for her wand, the redhead tried to resist, but it was too late. A spell coming in her direction knocked her out cold, and the familiar sounded of someone apparating sounded right afterwards, making the people closer to the windows move to look at what was happening outside.</div>
