Severus didn't even notice that Lily was watching him write. He didn't even think of his writing as anything special, just readable but also small enough to be able to put as much information on the parchment he had. He knew he tended to be longwinded in his answers and he wanted to make as much use of the allowed inches of parchment.
He read out the next question before flipping to the right part of the book and reading out the answer. He looked up at Lily after, not yet writing down the answer. He wanted to see if she really wanted to be there, he just could not believe that she would. There were so many people at Hogwarts that were better company then him.
Severus gave Lily a small smile before he started to scribble down the answer to the second question. "Studying together is nice." He whispered, not sure why, he was just setting himself up for a world of hurt, he knew he was.
