Being queerplatonic soulmates

There's no more iconic duo. ;3

Name a more iconic duo than a twink (Severus) and a redhead (Lily)

this thing i have in my notes that i probably won't finish

Cokeworth is interminably boring.

Cokeworth is grey smoky skies with smog rising from a factory on the horizon.

Cokeworth is long, cold summers without a hint of sun.

Cokeworth is purgatory for teenagers.

It's the intermittent sounds of Eileen and Tobias arguing downstairs as he re-reads his new Potions textbook for the ninth time, fingers drumming against the hard cover to the steady rhythm of their shouts-

A loud thump below the window. Severus's heart skips a beat; he crosses the room and slides the lower half of the window up, and a small hand with short, shiny, black-polished nails emerges, followed by a head of tousled dark red hair and a feral grin.

"Sev!" she says breathlessly.

The climber pulls herself into the room with practised skill but no grace; a large green toad follows. He goes by the name of Archimedes; Severus avoids him at all times.

The climber, Lily Evans, is the single interesting thing about Cokeworth.

She slams his window shut again, panting heavily, and flops down on the floor.

"You'll fall to your death one of these days," Severus rebukes, shaking his head. But he's glad she's come; he's always glad to see her. His bad mood lifts, and his parents' shouting seems far away now.

Lily ignores him, brushing dust and dirt off her favourite dungarees, her wand propped behind her ear, and rifles through his box of records. Cheap, faux-silver earrings dangle out of ear piercings she did herself with a needle.

"I've told you, there's nothing good in there - it's just my dad's stuff." He pauses. "What are you doing here, anyway?"

"Tuney's driving me up the wall. She's got another one of her boring boyfriends over. Probably wouldn't want me around him, anyway. I might do something weird and scare him off."

Tuney, or Petunia Evans, is Lily's older sister, and they are as alike as a vulture and a swan; that is to say, they are different in every which way. To begin with, Lily is a witch, like his mother, and Petunia is not.

"She just-" The earrings shake indignantly "-won't stop calling me a freak."

"She's an idiot," Severus responds reflexively. Lily Evans is utterly perfect, and even James Potter, moron supreme, agrees.

"I know." Lily sighs. "But for better or worse, she's my sister."

She flicks her wand at one of the records, and it slips out of the case, hovers hesistantly, and then settles down onto the record player. It's terrible, but at least it drowns out the sound of his parents arguing.

Lily's gaze falls onto the Potions textbook, and a smirk crosses her face. "Read it from back-to-front three times already, I assume."

"And added annotations. Can you seriously believe Borage suggested chopping instead of crushing peppermint leaves?"

"The idiot," Lily agrees.

Quick Severus Snape Headcannon:

Despite what others believe, Severus Snape and Lily Evans passed notes to eachother in class (if they were done with their classwork) and sometimes in the library when they studied.

Severus kept all of the folded notes in a little wooden box and re-read them later on.

After a long, tiring day of teaching dunderhead students, Professor Snape goes into his office and opens up the locked desk drawer with the little wooden box in it. Once in a blue moon, the shadow of a smile crosses the grumpy professors face while he looks at the contents of the box.

I’m in the car rn and thinking and an idea came to mind:

Young Snape on the Hogwarts train for the first time and realizing he gets motion sick.

Imagine a young Severus very excited up for his first year at Hogwarts, he has a little skip in his step as he finds a compartment for him and Lily to sit in.

The train begins to move, pulling out of the station. Severus is fine for about four minutes, until he realizes his head is spinning and he feels a weird feeling crawl up his throat. Severus grips his clothes rather tightly as he breathes heavily out of his mouth.

Severus begins to silently freak, thinking he got some sort of food poisoning by a hotdog that he got back at the Muggle Shops around Kings Cross Station.

By the time Lily looks at him and realizes something is up, the trolley lady opens their compartment door.

The sweet trolley woman spots the little black haired boy breathing heavily and pieces it together that he is motion sick.

The lady hands him a small bright blue taffy from her pocket and makes him eat it. The taffy tastes tangy and salty, yet Severus still chews it and swallows it, his motion sickness beginning to go away.

Severus quietly uttered a ‘thank you’ to the woman as Lily bought treats from the woman’s cart.
