Summary
It’s the summer of 1978.
Lily Evans and Severus Snape, still thick as thieves, have just graduated from Hogwarts and are beginning to make their way in the Wizarding World. To avoid returning to Spinner’s End, they rent a flat together in Diagon Alley as roommates. Both know without saying that this arrangement is strictly platonic. But the heart wants what it wants, and Severus has practically graduated with an honorary certificate in yearnology. Will he be able to live alongside Lily so closely whilst keeping his heart intact? And will Lily grow to see her best friend in a new light?
In this version, Lily did not date James Potter. The “mud blood” incident between Severus and Lily occurred differently than in canon (i.e., he didn't use the slur), and did not result in the dissolution of their friendship.
