.Why?""I wondered if you'd like to go to a movie with me.There are some good ones showing right now.""I'd love to, Sev, but let me check with mum and dad just to make sure they don't have any plans.""Especially since they're going to have to drive us into town and pick us up," Severus joked."It'd be nice if we could Apparate, or drive, but we have to be seventeen before we can do either." He got to his feet and helped Lily up.They walked around the park, stopping occasionally to kiss, and then Severus walked Lily to her house."I'll be back in an hour to get you for our potion lesson, okay?""Okay, see you in a bit then," Lily replied, giving him another quick kiss before she went in.Severus was smiling as he entered his house."Mum, I'm home," He called.He looked up as he saw his mum coming from the area of the house where she had her lab."I was just thinking about what to have for lunch.How does tuna salad sandwich with a salad sound, Sev?""It sounds delicious, Mum." His mum always insisted on fresh greens with every meal."Do you want me to get some vegetables from the garden?""No, Sev, I gathered them this morning," Eileen replied.Severus looked out the kitchen window.Most of the back yard was garden.Eileen had a big vegetable garden and a big garden for the herbs and magical plants she used in her potions.He bet she knew as much about Herbology as Professor Sprout.Surveying the gardens he also noticed they were in need of weeding.He made a mental note to get up early tomorrow and do it.Eileen set their lunch on the table then asked casually as he sat down, "What did you and Lily do this morning?"Severus shrugged as he took a bite of his sandwich, "We talked and walked around, nothing in particular.""Did a little kissing, too?" Eileen added.She got up, lifted Severus head, and wiped off the lipstick that was on his neck.She sat back down."Maybe I should show you and Lily how to brew contraceptive potions just in case.There are two of them, one you'd take and one Lily would take.""Mum!" Severus exclaimed in embarrassment."You know we promised you and Lily's parents we wouldn't … do anything before we're seventeen.""I know, Sev, and we appreciate it, but we all know, too, sometimes things work out differently." Eileen replied calmly."I can't understand why Hogwarts doesn't have some sort of sex education classes like the Muggle schools do.I mean they have a school full of teenagers with raging hormones! I'll bet Madam Pomfrey doesn't have any contraceptive potions available to her.I know she didn't when I was there."I suppose it wouldn't hurt to learn it," Severus admitted.His mother was wise witch and she knew his and Lily's feeling toward one another were growing stronger."Mum, did you have any plans for Monday night?""No.Why?""I asked Lily to a movie.There are a lot of good movies at the cinema right now.""No, that's fine, Sev."He finished his lunch."I'm going to go get Lily if you're ready to start our lessons.""Yes, just come to the lab." Eileen replied.She pointed her wand at the dishes and said "Scourgify." The dishes began washing themselves.Severus walked the two blocks to Lily house.The rang the doorbell and Petunia, Lily's eighteen year-old sister, answered the door and seeing it was Severus shouted, "Lily, your fellow freak is here!" Petunia was tall and bony with blond hair, blue eyes in an angular face with a sour expression to match her generally sour disposition.He heard Lily running down the stairs then she quickly pushed past Petunia.She had her book bag with her."I thought we could work on our homework after the lesson," She explained as they walked."Good idea," Severus replied, putting his arm around Lily."Lily, my mum mentioned that she was thinking about teaching us how to brew contraceptive potions.""It wouldn't hurt to learn them, Sev," Lily said."It doesn't mean we have to have sex.""I know and I guess if I were a parent I'd want my son or daughter to know about protection.""Oh! I asked mum and dad about Monday and they said it was okay.We just need to let them know what time the movie starts and ends.""You'll have to call the cinema and find out, Lily.I would, but we don't have a telephone.""What movie do we want to see?""You can pick it since we both like the same sort of movies.""Okay, I'll check and owl you."Severus walked Lily through the wards and into the house.They went down a hall to the back of the house where Eileen had her lab.Lily gave Eileen a hug and said, "Thanks for teaching us, Eileen.""Well, you're really helping me out so I should be thanking you and Sev.""What are we going to be learning, Mum?""I'm going to show you how to brew basic medicinal potions and salves that every wizarding household should have on hand such as wound-cleaning potion, rash, and bruise salves, a stomach soother, and a calming draft, decongestant and lung elixirs, and a fever reducer.Today I'll teach you how to brew the bruise salve
