He peered through the peephole but whoever was in front of his worn, oak door had their face down so that he couldn't identify them. A loud clap of thunder sounded outside causing Severus to flinch just slightly. Lightening illuminated the sky and he could see now that the person standing on his doorstep was a female.

"Come inside. And quickly. I don't foresee this weather improving anytime soon." he found himself saying.
Awe and shock ran through his veins, sending jolts through his heart, for standing on his doorstep had been one Lily Evans.
