First Day Of Classes Pt. 2
By the time Lucius and Severus made it to transfiguration the only two open seats were nowhere near each other.
Even though he barely knew Lucius, Severus felt a bit…anxious at leaving his side, and yet he still made his way to his chosen seat. One next to a tall-looking—at least compared to Severus—red haired girl(?) who was rubbing her right thumb over the waist of her black dress.
She hesitantly looked over at him, her thumb stopping for a second before increasing speed. “You’re the new kid.”
“Yeah.”
“Aren’t you a boy?”
“As far as I know.”
“But, you’re wearing a dress?”
Severus rolled his eyes; maybe this was the wrong place to sit. Should’ve left the closet-case with her. Then again, he was the one assuming her gender and pronouns, so….”Surprisingly enough, having a dick doesn’t make me cotton and lace repellent, no matter the shape it comes in.”
Her eyes widened, thumbing going faster, as she brought her left one to her mouth, but didn’t insert it. Just sort of rubbed the outside like she wanted to suck her thumb, but was too insecure. “I didn’t mean it like that!”
“Not too many ways to interpret your statement.”
“I just meant—it’s brave.”
“What’s brave about polyester?”
“I thought it was cotton and lace?”
“It is….A very ungodly outfit.” To his, shocking, relief, she laughed.
“You raised Christian or something?”
“Something like that.”
“Protestant.” She admitted. “I don’t believe that stuff anymore, though….Not sure if my parents do, my sister certainly does.”
Severus didn’t know how to respond, so didn’t. Class started in three minutes.
“I’m Lily, by the way, She/Her.”
He nodded. “Severus, He/Him.”
“....I don’t know how to ask this, but—”
“Yes: I’m gay, no: that has nothing to do with my fashion sense.”
She seemed relieved. “I’m bi…sexual.”
“Like Remus.”
Lily’s expression turned startled. “How do you know about him already?”
“Lucius.”
“How’d that happen? We’re not friends or anything, but I didn’t take him to be the kind to just go around telling everyone someone else's sexuality.”
Severus wasn’t sure what to say. He couldn't tell the truth because that would be outing the blonde, even if he hadn’t realized his sexuality himself yet, but he also didn’t lie if he didn’t have to. Wasn’t a cunt like his father.
“Severus?”
Less than a minute before class started. “I’m not at liberty to say.”
Then the bell rang.

Severus merely watched on as Lucius piled sandwiches and chips and rolls and potatoes and corn and—he looked away, gazing making its way to Lily. She was a Gryffindor, so they had all their morning class together. Apparently, DADA would be with Ravenclaw and HOM with Hufflepuff, though.
A plate, bowl, and cup was set in front of him.
Severus looked down to see a plate identical to Lucius’s, with a cup of something orange, a bowl of stew, and a smaller plate of bread. “I can’t eat all this.”
Lucius finished his large mouthful before speaking. “Don’t expect you to.”
“Then why’d you give it all to me?”
“So you’d have options.”
“I could have made my own plate.”
“Not with how you were staring at Evans you couldn’t have.”
Severus elected to not respond, just spinning his stew around a bit.
There was something familiar about her, he just couldn’t put his finger on it.”

Severus fell onto his bed as soon as he and Lucius arrived in their dorm. How did he already have a presentation he had to perform in front of the whole class?! Due in two days, to.
“I can see your underwear.” Lucius informed after putting both of their bags up, as he sat on his own bed to remove his shoes.
Severus just spitefully pulled the dress up higher so his whole, covered, ass was showing. If Lucius didn’t want to see it, he could leave.
Lucius didn’t leave.
“How was your first day?”
“I am not doing that stupid ass presentation.”
“Professor Howard said—”
“She can suck my balls.”
“That’s illegal.”
“Good; she needs some jail time.”
“Are you still mad about her giving you detention?”
“Yes! It’s the first day; I don’t deserve that shit!”
Lucius sighed, lying down himself, though less dramatically. “You’re the one who refused to call her professor.”
“I’m not calling her professor until I see proof of a doctorate or PhD. At the very least a masters.”
“What does that even mean?”
“Y’know, the highest college degree you can get.”
“College? That’s a muggle post-school thing isn’t it? We don't have those.”
Severus sat up criss-cross-applesauce. “So none of the teachers have any degrees?”
“Um, no.”
“The politicians? Minister? Broom makers?”
“No. No one does….Except some artists, I guess. There is an art college in Ireland, but it’s really expensive, so….”
“You’re telling me the only people in this entire world that has post-secondary education are certain artists?!”
“Well, yeah. We don’t need them; Hogwarts teaches us everything.”
Severus shook his head. “You all better hope the muggles never learn about you and decide to use nuclear weapons or something. ‘Cause in the case of that, I’m brexiting. Back to no magic for me.”
“Brexiting?”
“Too hard to explain, but I promise everyone who grew up anyway muggle will be doing it as soon as the muggles learn about your asses.”
“And it means you leave?”
“Indefinitely.”
“That sounds bad.”
“Just wait.”

Severus’s detention was at 8:00 P.M. sharp.
He didn’t go.
