Lily, normally a bookworm at heart, felt like her classes and homework dragged throughout the day. She had been embarrassed a few times when a professor had called on her just as she was zoning out and she hadn't known an answer. Some of her Gryffindor friends had given her strange looks, and those who were more in the know wrote her off as crazy. Any girl who could love Severus Snape had to be either insane or brainwashed, or at least that was how most of the people Lily knew saw it. But that only proved to her further that they didn't deserve her friendship, and she was in the process of dissociating with them.

The days always went by much too slowly whenever Lily had an upcoming date with Severus. But now it was all over, and it was fast approaching 6:30, the meeting time they had agreed upon. Lily had painstakingly curled her hair and applied her makeup, dressed, and headed outside to wait for him. She was early this time. Pleased with herself, she sat on some dry ground and watched other students who were hanging around. Some were doing homework, some were chatting, and some just stared off into space.

Lily hoped they would go inside and eat dinner soon, because she really wanted another kiss from Severus.

Lily returned his smile and pressed a brief kiss to his cheek. "I'll be right back," she promised.

Lily walked back to the portrait and uttered the password, then went to her dormitory to retrieve her book from the trunk. She passed by the common room as quickly and silently as possible and returned to Severus's side in less than a minute.

"Got it!" she said cheerily. Taking him by the hand, she led him a safe distance away from the Gryffindor area and leaned against the wall to flip through the textbook. It was a bit dim in the hallway. Lily took out her wand and muttered, "Lumos," then pointed it at the page. It took her some time to find the paragraph, as it was very small and hidden deep within the book, almost as if the writer did not want many people to be able to read about it.

"Look here, it says that it's located behind the portrait of, er... Barnabas the Barmy," she pointed out the paragraph. "Any idea where that is?" Lily looked up at Severus helplessly. It was difficult to remember where exactly all the portraits were in this huge castle.

Severus knew they had been lucky that they got in and out of the Gryffindor tower so quickly and without bumping into anybody horrible.

"Barnabas the Barmy?" He worried his bottom lip thoughtfully. "That name does sound familiar." Severus had roamed the castle a lot just to find a nice quiet place to read, study and get away from idiots.

"Oh..." He remembered seeing the strangest painting of a wizard teaching trolls how to dance, if he remembered correctly that was Barnabas. "I think it is on the seventh floor."

Her helpless look turned into one of happiness. Of course, she could count on Severus to know all the things she did not. That was why they went so well together. Lily smiled up at him. "Severus, you're brilliant!" she told him sincerely. Lily muttered nox and put her wand away, then took Severus's hand once more to lead him for the stairs. Finally, somewhere they could be alone, away from James Potter's jeers and his stupid friends. Lily couldn't have been any more thrilled. Of course, part of that delight came from something else entirely - a desire other than to be away from the rest of Hogwarts. It scared Lily a bit and made her blush at the same time.

Severus was glad that there wasn't much light anymore because he was blushing like a fool. Lily had called him brilliant, he knew he was not stupid but being called brilliant by Lily was worth more then any top grade any professor could give him.

He let her lead him to the seventh floor, he was almost floating on air hearing Lily's complement over and over in his head. "I am not really that brilliant, we solved this together and when we find this place it will be because we work together so very well."
