The Marauders

Lydia stuck her tongue out. "Would it be against your wishes if we took a walk through the forbidden forest?"

Snape returned to the castle grounds, white as a ghost.

Lucius watched as Snape entered the castlke. "Severus." he said greeting the greesed haired boy.

Snape flinched, startled by Lucius.
"Erm-Lucius," he said continueing.

Lucius moved to walk by his friend. "You're paler than normal. Want to tell me what's wrong?" he whispers with a look that said if Snape didn't he would get out one way or another.

"Why should I tell you? Leave me be, I need sleep." Said Snape briskly walking past Malfoy.

Lucius stared after Snape. He could guess what was wrong ut didn't bother to chase him. He went back to his game of wizards chess against Crabbe.

Snape continueously bumped into students-one of them Lydia.

Lydia looked up at him. she stop almost pulling Remus back. "Are you okay?" she ask worried.

"Y-y-yes."

"What happened?"asked Remus looking crossly at Snape.

"It is none of your business!" Snape snapped.

Lydia sighed. "Remmy." she said. "Could I talk to Severus alone." she asked kindly. she was worried. She knew James couldn't have put Snape in such a horrified state.

"Erghmm Well fine.." answered Remus as he started tp walk to the castle

Lydia turned so she could to Snape without anyone interupting them. "severus, I know something's wrong. will you please tell me?"

"I-no. I....have to go, Lydia." He hesitated.
Tears swelled up in his eyes.
~Night night~

Lydia gently laid a reasurring hand don his shoulder. "When you want to, I'll be there, okay? I hate seeing you like this."

"O-okay." he said shakily.

Lydia hugs Snape. "Kay." she said smiling warmly. "Well, I'll go unless you want to talk. Bye." She waves as she starts to hurry off to Remus's side.

Snape continued for a LONG time through dozens of corridors.
He bumped into a lot of students.
He stood outside in the middle of the Quidditch Pitch, when some older students came and shooed him away.
He fainted near the Great Hall's entrance.
