Flirting with the enemy (A Jeverus story)

~•~Chapter 26~•~

(Sorry no chapter picture for this one)

"You want to- What?!" Screamed Lucius Malfoy.
"I want to... Propose to Severus..." James mumbled.
"I'm sorry.." Lucius chuckled, "I didn't hear you right, I heard you wanted to propose to Severus?"
"Well that's what I-"
"I can't hear you!" Lucius covered his ears.
"Lucius. Darling..." Narcissa placed a hand on his shoulder, "Don't be such a prat."
Lucius sighed, and with gritted teeth, he turned to James, "So what did you want to do?"
James took a deep breath, before pulling out the engagement ring, "I want to Propose to Severus... If that's okay with you?.."
Lucius glared at James, oh how he wanted to strangle him so badly right now. But he couldn't at that moment, he knew how much he meant to Severus, and he didn't want to hurt his friend.
"Fine." He muttered, looking away.
James's eyes lit up, "Really?!"
Lucius nodded, before moving closer to James...

"Yes. But I swear to Merlin. If you hurt him in anyway I'll have your head." (AH you thought- okay I'm not funny, I'll continue the story.)
James gulped, he was now more nervous than before. He never wanted to hurt Severus, but knowing him, he might do it unconsciously.
---
"Hey Severus?" Snape looked up from the potions book he was reading, and gave his undivided attention to Lucius, "Have you ever thought about Marriage?"
Severus's face turned light pink, before he shook his head, "No..."
Lucius looked surprised, "Why is that?"
"I already know what's going on between me and James is only a silly school love story..." His words trailed off,  "And everyone knows that none of those relationships last..."
"What if it does last?" Lucius asked.
"Oh, I wish it would last, but I plan on Breaking up with James tomorrow... Our last day here at Hogwarts... My last day of freedom..." Severus sighed, "Anyways, I must be heading off to the Library to return my books. I'll see you later."
Lucius was now in a tough spot, he didnt know whether to warn James about the breakup, or to just let it happen. He sighed, he wanted his friend to be happy, and if it meant he would let him marry his enemy, he was okay with it, as long as Severus didnt have to go home to his abusive excuse of a father.
---
It was now around 8 at night, Severus was back at the common room, packing the rest of his stuff up, and Lucius decided to ask James to meet him in the astronomy tower.
"Damn it Potter." He muttered, "Where the Fuck are you."
"I'm right here-" Lucius turned around quickly, hitting James in the face.
"Where the Bloody hell did you come from?" He asked, scooting back a bit.
"I just came in.." He whispered, as he held up the invisibility cloak, "I came in with this, so you probably wouldn't have seen me."
"Whatever." Lucius rolled his eyes.
"So what was so important you asked me to meet you here?" James asked, leaning on the railing.
"Look. I never wanted you to marry Severus..." James's face fell, "But I know how much you meant to him, so I agreed to let you propose..."
"Is that it? You came here to confess that, hoping I wouldn't propose?!" He cried, picking up his invisibility cloak, "How pathetic."
"Wait James, no."
James froze, "You said my name." He looked back at Lucius, "This must be important.."
"It is.." He replied, sighing heavily, "Look. Severus doesn't think your relationship will last.."
"And?.." James asked, scared for what he was going to say next.
"And he wants to break up with you tomorrow, So I'm telling you know Potter, You better have a solid plan of how your going to do this proposal."
"I do.." James confessed, "It's really something that I had planned for months, but didn't actually think it would work... That was until yesterday, when I finally realized that if it's for Severus, than I can make it happen.."
"Good, when is it going to happen?" Lucius asked, slightly eager.
"In The boat ride back across the black lake.."
"Good. Then I'll keep Severus away from you until then, and if he asks you to talk, just tell him you can't." Lucius replied, making his way to the door.
James nodded, Finally life may be going his way.

Sorry it's shorter, but hey the next chapter we get the proposal, I don't know how long it will be, but it'll happen, and then after that, we have the time skip to the future and yeah...
