Chapter Text
Severus walked off the stage pulling off the itchy blonde wig while watching Lily in her short black dress wave to all their coworkers.
"wonderful show, girls just wonderful." Max hugged them both squeezing them tight.
"Thanks, Max but it only because of you that we were up there and I'm not a girl." Severus swatted the heavy manger away so he could get undress.
"Honesty Severus you could pull off being a girl with those looks." He could feel the glare from the dressing room. "Really those legs, that hair and don't even get me started on your gorgeous face." A lamp goes flying out the room missing Max by an inch.
"Severus." She gets ready to chew him out when Max stops her.
"He had it coming." The flushed young man walks out of the room wearing a tight white tank top and grey dress pants with a grey cat chocker forgotten on his neck."I'm a man dang it!"
"We know Sev." Lily smiles and changes the subject. "I thought we were getting some new guys where are they?"
Two older teenagers walk out from behind the curtain. One in all black matching Lily's looks with his long red hair. The other was much more similar to Severus. Dressed in a grey jacket and white dress pants and messy blond hair. He seemed sweet.
"Ladies."
"Hey!"
"And Severus I would like to introduce Adam and Stein." They shack hands "Lily Adam is your partner and Severus I bet you could tell Stien is yours. We will be having a big show coming up introducing these two so you ladies are going to have to practice till it hurts."
"Yes, sir."
"Don't we always." Severus laughed when Lily punched him. A car honked from outside. "Lily it's your dad." The packed there stuff and exit the building.
"Hey, Severus read this when you are alone." Max threw the letter and wave them goodbye.
"Can you believe that our last year at Hogwarts starts in 3 months." She fastens herself in next to Severus.
"I really can." The thought of returning next year filled him with dread but there was one good thing to happen. "Oh did I tell you I made Head boy."
"Oh, Severus that's great." The excitement seemed to die as the sentence continued.
"Did you not make Head girl?" he felt bad announcing it before checking on her.
"No Alice did but it doesn't matter I'm proud of you." She goes silent for the rest of the ride leaving Severus and her father to talk.
"I still don't get what's so important about this head business." He turns down Severus road.
"Well, it's like becoming Valedictorian but with more perks during your last year. This will really help me with some of the younger years." The car jerks to a stop snapping him out of his thoughts.
"This is your stop, Severus." Severus hopped out of the car. He waved until the car was out of sight. He entered the dirty house slowly. He checked around each corner for signs for his drunken father but surprisingly he wasn't there.
"Where could he be it's not like him to be out this late?" Severus locked the house down and got ready for bed. It was only when he was warm in bed did he remember Max's note but decided to read it later.
At the Evens household, all was not well with Lily in particular. She was driving her sister nuts and her parents nuts with worry.
"How didn't I make Head girl but he becomes Head boy it's insane or unnatural." Lily was riping at her lovely red hair like a mad woman. Her mother tried to smooth her worries but Petunia wasn't going to deal with her.
"Listen, Lily, I really would love to sit here and listen to you whine all night but I have an apprenticeship starting in tomorrow so good night." She heads upstairs ready to block out her brat of a sister.
The next morning Severus was awoken by an angry owl knocking hard on his bedroom window.
"Hold on you pest with wings." He removes the letter from the owl's leg and it flew away in a huff. "Why would Potter write to me?" He heads downstairs to prepare himself a nice breakfast.
"About time you got down here boy where's my money" Severus jumped when hearing his fathers voice.
"I don't get paid until next week."
"You said that last that week you little shit." He grabs Severus by his arm pulling him back.
"No, I said that yesterday you drunk moron." He pulls his arm away and walks into the kitchen. "So what do you want from me, Potter." He rereads the letter over and over in complete shock.
"Start breakfast you little sh-"
"Hold on I moving you fat pig." He growls back knowing the bastard won't lay a finger on his money maker. He finishes the eggs and bacon in record time. "Here you drunk." He rushes up to his room to get Max's letter before stomping down the stairs.
"where are you going?" Severus doesn't answer slamming the door has hard as he could.
