 The sun is setting  on the Bay. The good ship LOLLIPOPS (Love 
of Lily Left Ire Polluting Our Poor Severus) rides at anchor. Over 
the silver water comes an eerie cackling sound, and a water 
bird, black against the fading sky, comes to circle above the 
mast. 

Declining to perch there, because, well, webbed feet don't perch, 
the bird descends to deck level, and as the last ray of sunlight 
fades from the horizon, the birdshape alters, becoming a woman 
in a cape and sunglasses. As the sun has now set, Pippin puts 
the sunglasses in her pocket and says, "Did someone call for a 
vampire Loon?"

"That would be me", says Amanda.  "It is against my personal 
code to lie. I said, 'You Snape is a Vampire loons, too. Olivia and 
me and our allies can take it!'"

"But," says Pippin, "There is no mutual exclusion between Snape 
is a Vampire and Snape Loved Lily. "

"There is too," says Amanda, with the pleasure which only an 
HPfGU'er can take in rehashing an argument for the umpteenth 
time. "Because vampires are d-"

"Vampires are NOT dead," says Pippin, "and I have canon to 
prove  it." They are Beings, that's quite clear from  FBAWTFT, and 
if they were dead, they'd be Has-beens. "

"But," Pippin continues,"that's not what I came here to argue 
about. You said,"

 >>Anyway, for all you people who've ever said "eeeurgh! Snape 
and Lily! Bleah! Greasy hair! Liked curses! Had she no taste??? I 
just can't *see* them together!" etc.----> Neither Can I. I don't 
think anything intimate at all went on, other than Snape going out 
on a limb and baring a bit of his soul to her. And I think she was 
probably gracious enough to let him down as easily as that sort 
of man (boy) can be. No kissing. No bushes. Just love.<<

Pippin continued, "I can see your point, but what if Lily wasn't 
always the Gryffindor Goddess everyone remembers? She could 
have gone through one of those awkward ugly duckling phases. 
Lots of girls do, you know. She and Snape  could have been very 
close for a while. Then, you know how it is, one September Lily 
comes back and the braces have gone, the awkwardness is just 
a memory, the spots have cleared up...whatever. The Gryffindor 
boys who've been ignoring her take notice. It occurs to Lily that 
life has more to offer than Severus Snape.

She figures what they had was puppy love. She's ready to move 
on, he isn't. Heartbreak, 101. She'd like to be just friends, but 
he's too proud and hurt for that.  And then she takes up with his 
Quidditch rival, James...insult to injury. But he still loves her,
can't help it. Vampires do get fixated, you know."
