WHO: Severus Snape, Lily Potter WHAT: Severus has a Christmas gift for Lily WHEN: 23 December; late afternoon. WHERE: The Potter Home RATING/STATUS: Lowish/Incomplete
Over the past few weeks his relationship (if it could be called that) with Lily began to blossom. They met at least once a week and Lily had been good to her word and had bought him rooibos. He wasn't sure where she was hiding it, but frankly, Severus didn't care. What mattered was that Severus was welcome in her home and they were, once again, back on speaking terms.
One might even could call them friendly -- dare he hope!
In his pocket was his Christmas gift for Lily. True, he had spent a bit more on her than he should have, but at the same time -- if his plan was going to work, he would have to do something outstanding. This... was the only thing he could think of. Rubbing the small box in his pocket with his forefinger, Severus rapped lightly on the front door.
