me! You wouldn't get a lot of money anyways.
Just by looking at my name you can tell I like
those three characters the most!

Rain pelted the window causing curtains of water to cascade down its sleek surface. The first day of term has come and it was one Katherine couldn't wait to get over with. It was her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and something deep down told the wavy brown haired girl that trouble was coming. Something dark and sinister was going to happen and she wanted to make sure she stayed out of its way.
Suddenly the door to her compartment slid open causing the girl to jump. A boy about her age stood there. His shoulder length hair was soaked causing a few strands to stick to his face. He had pale skin and deep black eyes that seemed to never end. He wore black robes and she could see that he also black slacks and shoes on as well.


He pointed a long slender finger at the space in front of her, "Mind if I sit there?" Katherine smiled, "Of course not!" Once the boy got his trunk stored away she held out her hand and smiled, "My name is Katherine Silverstein." The boy gazed at her for a moment. She was tall, but half a head shorter than he was, long curly brown hair held back with a blue hair band. She was pale, but not as pale as he was and her eyes were deep blue that sparkled whenever she smiled. Taking her hand he smiled back at her. "Mine's Severus Snape." With that handshake they became fast friends.

After they had introduced each other they found out they had a lot in common. Mostly the love for reading. Severus came from a long line of wizarding families, as did Katherine, though she couldn't go as far back as he could. They both played violin though Severus admits that he hasn't touched it in a long time. Both hoped to get in either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor and didn't want to go into Slytherin.


The door to the compartment opened abruptly causing both to jump. In the doorway stood a blond third year and two of his friends. "Well what do we have here? Two first years. I'm Lucius Malfoy and these two are Crabbe and Goyle." He replied pointing at the two large boys behind him. Katherine sensed that something was not right, but didn't want to get hexed or cursed so she stood and introduced herself. "Katherine Siverstein and this is my friend.." "Severus Snape." Her companion interrupted. Malfoy smiled at them and shook both their hands. "So, what hose do you hope to get into?" Katherine was about to answer when she noticed the Slytherin emblem on his robes. "Slytherin!" she quickly answered before Severus said anything. The dark haired boy smiled wickedly. "Excellent! I'll see you at school then." And with that he closed the compartment door, 'Probably off to go scare some more first years,' Katherine sighed mentally. Severus stared at her like she had grown another head, "What?" she asked frowning. The boy snapped out of his trance and frowned back, "Why did you say we wanted into Slytherin?" The girl sighed, "He had the Slytherin emblem on his robes and he didn't look like the one to cross on bad terms." Severus thought about it for a moment and finally agreed.

"Firs' years! Firs' years over 'ere!" bellowed a giant of a man. Severus felt a hand clasp his own and saw Katherine staring at the giant. Tightening his grip on her hand he looked down at her and smiled. Katherine noticed and smiled back and together they walked toward the man along with the rest of the first years. "My name is Rubius 'agrid. I'm the the Keeper of the Keys and Grounds at 'ogwarts, please follow me to the boats."
"No more than four to a boat!" Hagrid called out as the first years filtered their way through the trees. Severus and Katherine got into one and were soon followed by another boy and girl. The boy looked pale in the moonlight and Katherine got a glimpse of his long brown hair and brown eyes. The girl was slightly tanned and had flaming red hair and green eyes. "Hello, my name is Lilly Evans." She held her hand out to Katherine. Katherine took it and gave it a friendly shake. "Katherine Silverstein and this is my friend Severus Snape." Severus shook her hand. "This is my friend Remus Lupin," Lilly replied pointing at the boy beside her. "Hello." The boy replied. After a moment of awkward silence Lilly spoke up. "So Katherine are you a pure or half blood?" Katherine smiled, "Pure blood." "Really? I'm the first in my family to have magic. Remus here is also pure blood. How about you Severus?" Severus smiled, "Half blood." Lilly's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Really! What side of your family is wizarding?" Severus really wondered how Lilly already knew about pure and half bloods, "My father's side," he answered.
The tiny fleet of boats finally stopped and the first years where then lead by a stern witch with glasses named Minerva McGonagall. She led them to a room just off of the Great Hall and as they waited a ghost came and began terrorizing a group of girls. Katherine grabbed Severus' hand and hid behind him. Severus smiled at her and squeezed her hand in comfort.
"Peeves! Leave those poor girls alone!" McGonagall hollered at the poltergeist. Peeves blew a wet raspberry at the professor and flew off through the far wall. "Right then, don't mind him he just likes to cause trouble," McGonagall assured them, "follow me." She gestured at the open door.

A/N: All right, what do you think? I know I probably could
have done better. Please review! Thanks!
