Summary: While reflecting by the lake, Lily is approached by Fabian who is - supposedly - there to catch lunch for Gideon after losing a bet.

Rating: PG, angst

Status: Closed, completed
Summary: While studying the bit of potion she's about to turn in, Lily is startled by Severus commenting on her potion. After a few cool snarks at one another, Lily mentions the unsigned comments in her journal and asks him to help her find out who was behind it. The conversation circles predictably if obliquely toward Death Eaters and how the comments likely aren't a joke.

As they continue to talk, they're both beset with conflicting feelings as old habits war with new grudges. As they head out of class, Severus offers her another warning about trusting death eaters, and she asks if she shouldn't trust him. When he replies that he doesn't know, she parts company with him, though he comes to find her. He assures her she can trust him before they head - separately - to their next class.
