                   severus remained quiet     passive, even     & he gave no protest to being dragged off ; an indication as to what he was thinking would’ve been equally ambiguous to anyone else, he was sure, he was SOLEMN as anything, but she’d a knack with him others did not & it did not MATTER. he was well aware of the risk for himself, but, unlike a wretched FEW, he’d anticipated it long before the inception. it wasn’t as though he couldn’t say no       he very well could      but, he didn’t want her to fail.

he would not have let that happen ; if he had any power here at all, & for once, he did, then he’d be  S  U  R  E to aid to the end ; it wasn’t that he lacked apprehension, or that he didn’t feel the twinge of fear in his stomach, but this was lily        not yet another person WANTING what he could offer without giving a DAMN about him. 


                           ❛        i’ll help you.

                        it was like he was offering to help her with her homework, or something TRITE.

                                                       ❛ it isn’t as though you could trust anyone else to do it, could you ? ❜

          it felt as though a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. he was
          right, of course. she couldn’t have trusted anyone else with THIS
          not that she trusted many people right now. in times like this, how
          could she? but severus… he would never betray her. lily placed the 
          map on the table, carefully sliding it across the smooth surface to
          him. they both knew the severity of what they were doing. by handing
          this over to him, they would be inviting a war onto the school grounds.

              ’ he’ll need to know how to use it. just tap it with the tip of your wand
              and say ‘ i solemnly swear that i am up to no good ’ . then, he’ll be 
              able to see everything he needs. go into the forest and walk south.
              follow the trail until you find a wishing well. it’s a portkey, just touch
              the handle. they’ll come to you from there. severus… when you get 
              there, you should stay. it’ll be safer than being here, ‘

         although there was no guarantee the dark lord wouldn’t force him to 
         fight along with her. still - he had promised her that if she found him 
         a way in, she and severus would be safe. though could she TRUST 
         HIM? why should she? what had he done to earn her trust? lily placed
         her hand softly over his, fingers grazing over his knuckles as she looked
         up into his dark eyes. her head lowered, bringing the back of his hand
         to her lips. from there, she brushed a soft kiss across his skin. 

             ’ you’re a true friend, severus. please… keep yourself safe.’
