It was September 1, and, as it seemed, i was late to Hogwarts Express.My Father didn't return it from one of his never-ending sessions (he used to be Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, big deal)-and he wanted to come to Kings Cross with me (as if i couldn't come with our driver).Last time all the Ministry was upset with rumors about some crazy dark wizard,gaining power and so on,but was it sufficient to make me travel to Hog on my own legs? At last he arrived, all glum and sullen, and we started for Kings-Cross. I tried to persuade him to take my Silver Arrow, disguised as toothpick, but he bellowed something about rules and order, and so on.As usual.
On station were all these swarming Muggles, crazy crowd, i've never seen so many of these stupid gits together-sad view, i have to say.But near the platform father met Mr.Malfoy from his Department and stayed to talk with him(i could bet-about their Voldemort the Nightmare), and i went to barrier with my trolley.I almost crossed it, when heard great racket and something smashed into my trolley and sent cage with my falcon flying.When i got my breath back, i saw that it was cart,driven by black-haired boy of my age.
-Hang on!-cried i-Are you blind, you blockhead?
But at that moment second boy,with jet hair and abominable face, appeared on full run,yelling:
-Are you o'key, Sirius?
Alastor Moody (fred_weasley_the_naughty):
Alastor Moody (not Mad Eye yet, though,guy with pretty good eyes, and rather attractive,too)also happens
to came up to Kings-Cross, because he was spying after Mr.Draco Malfoy (old,of course, this stupid name
was stuck in their family).Now he was sitting in dustbin and eavesdropping, and what you think he heard?
Mr.Belsevulus Snape:So, you contacted these people?
Mr.Draco Malfoy:Yes,last night.
Snape:And what you think about his suggestion?
Malfoy:At least, it looks like he is able to do what he promised.You know, these rubbish about Muggles
and their rights, it's going to destroy our community.Let Muggles to nose about our business,to tend
them-all the pile of hogwash that this old Muggle-lover Dumbledor offered at the last session.Lord Vol...
Snape:hush...without names.
Malfoy:Of course.This man at least is definitely not from Muggle-loving sort.Some people says he's last
true descendant of Sly...
But at that moment great crash and uproar concealed the last words.
-"He-he"-said Moody to the old crisps packet-"It's going to be interesting story"
Severus Snape (azzy_1999_2000):
As the janitor came to fetch dustbins,Moody was in trouble and couldn't hear the last part of
conversation.However, it was short-Mr.Malfoy just gave a piece of parchment to Ambrosius Snape,and
whispered:"He said that only true eyes can read this,Ambrosius."[....the story of our little commotion with
Mr.Black and Mr.Potter...]
When Mr.Snape returned at home, he ascended upstairs, to his office, unrolled the parchment and
touched with his wand.And the following words appeared:
"I am Lord Voldemort,true and last descendant of great Salazar Slytherin.And i am the one who is
destined to complete the noble mission of my great ancestor.
Look around.You see the world, swarming with Muggles and half-bloods,where the magic is scarce and
where our majestic art is loathed and detested.About 99.9 percent of so named humans have no one
drop of magical blood in veins, and we have to conceal our institutions and live in endless danger of
disclosure.
Why?Are we not more powerful,more decent, more worth?Are we not the superior kind of human beings
(if Muggles and Mudbloods are humans at all)?
Yes-answered I and those who are wise enough to follow me.All these Muggles champions, who fights for
more and more rights and liberties for these filthy brats, calls us evil.Lets be so! The further generations
of wizards will appreciate our sacrifice-will understand the magnificent idea that leads us to the summit of
magical power!Because there is no good or evil, there is only power-power, that can lead to unbelievable
discoveries, even to immortal existence.We need to annihilate and overcome all the obstacles, including
weeping Muggles and blundering Muggle-lovers-it'll be our sacrifice, the step to great illustrious future.All
who are against us-they are against the future, and will be tramped and eradicated!Our purpose is
generations of pure-bloods,strong,magically powerful and ruthless to weakness wizards,extending the
rule of magic beyond the boundaries of feeble human existence!
Join us now to achieve the real power-to create grand future!"
James Potter (professor_potter):
At last came September 1 and i was very excited when I came to King Cross wif my dad (Head of Registry
of Proscribed Charmable Objects) and my mum. And I went looking fer my fren, Sirius and he him
knocking into Snape so I rushed to him. Then Snape gave such a cheeky grin before getting on the train.
Then my parents and Sirius parents came to wave us goodbye and told not not to mix wif Snape and
Malfoy as their dads were thought to be in hoots with Voldemort. Sirius and I went up the train to
Hogwarts and then Snape, Malfoy Crabbe, and Goyle came in our came.(nice company huh)
Lucius Malfoy (professorsnape2000):
It is a time of great gladness in my life. I Lucious Malfoy have been accepted into Hogwarts. The letter
arrived yesterday by owl post, and my entire family was quite pleased. Not that it was really a surprise,
Malfoy is a name that demands great respect in the wizarding community, and for me to have not been
accepted would have been quite a shock. In fact we all knew I would be going to Hogwarts, and just last
week my father and I ventured to Diagon Alley to purchase my supplies. I am most excited about my
wand. A beutiful birch wand with a core of dragons heart string of 16 inches. It is quite flexible and Mr.
Olivander told me that compatibility with such a wand shows signs of a great wizard. Of course father has
been allowing me to practice with it, he feels it is only right for a boy of my upbringing to be able with a
wand prior to departing for school. So far I have mastered several hexes and father is currently teaching
me a very nasty little curse. Rumor has it that, Dumbeldore,that old fool, is admitting record numbers of
mud bloods this year. Father is very upset with this. He feels that these muggles are like an infestation of
rats to the school. I think the have no right attending school with such profound poorblooded wizards. I
also found out today that my two very good friends Crabbe and Goyle will be attending Hogwarts as well.
I recieved their owls this morning and we are planning a little celebration party tomorrow night. Mother
was so proud of me that she wanted to buy me a brand new racing broom to take with me to school this
year, but that fool Dumbeldore does not allow first years to have their own brooms. I think father is trying
to talk the board into over ruling Dumbeldore on that. I can't wait to leave next week, I'm meeting Crabbe
and Goyle at Kings Cross that morning. Oh well I must be going it is time for supper and then I am going
to Hogsmead with father to pick up a few more things for school.
Lily Evans (princessehlah):
Lily Evans stood on the platform with her parents, who were beaming with pride at thier daughter. Her
older sister, Petunia was making faces at her and calling her "the freak"- a new nickname she had
recently aquired. Lilly shook a piece of her auburn hair out of her sharp green eyes and glanced around
Kings Cross station. There were many children with their parents, all getting ready to board the train that
would be taking them to Hogwarts. It hadn't been too long ago when the letter had arrived telling her
parents that she was invited to attend Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lily had been
shocked at the thought of actually being a witch, but her parents had been ecstatic."Oh, Lily, we're so
proud of you for getting in. Imagine it! A witch in our family."Reflecting upon that moment, Lily
remembered Petunia sulking in the back muttering, "I always knew she was a witch." The sound of a
crash brought her attention back to the present. Two lanky dark haired boys had crashed into another boy
who was sallow complected and looking none too happy. "Lily,dear,"her mother called to her.Lily turned
back and smiled, dimples showing,"Yes, mum?" Her mother leaned down to her petite daughter and
smiled fondly,"Your father and I are so happy that you're doing this. It does our family proud."she paused
for a moment."I know youre a bit nervous, not knowing anyone, but Im sure that in no time you'll make
friends-lifelong ones at that." Lily's father nodded in agreement."That's right, Lily. Just remember to be
yourself and dont be so darn shy!" He chuckled and ruffled Lily's hair. Petunia was looking around for an
escape."I'll miss you Petunia."Lily said."Sure you will.'Bout as much as I'll miss you, Im sure."
Lily sighed and turned back to watch more students arrive.
Ver Snape (ver_snape_nasty_aspis):
I pulled out my wand and was about to put a good hex on these two idiots, when my father arrived,
yelling about the ineligible use of Magic.As usual, old git.He even didn't know that i borrowed some money
from him and bought a really cool book about curses in Knockturn Alley.O'key,i said him goodbye (bless
be Hogwarts!I will not see him for several months)and crossed the barrier.Morons already disappeared,
but i promised to myself not too delay our next meeting.
My damned father even didn't come through barrier to help me with trunk, so i tried to heave it into train,
all sweating and panting.Almost all the compartments were already full, so i dragged it to the end of
train.Here i glimpsed Lucius Malfoy through the window and waved him (we met several times on
Quidditch matches), still fighting with my trunk.Lucius turned to somebody within a compartment, and at
next moment two tall and sulky looking guys jumped from the train and heaved my trunk in corridor.
-"Hey,Severus-said Lucius, staying in the door.-We have here a room.By the way, it's Grabbe and it's
Goyle"-he pointed on his enormous cronies.-"And it's Severus Snape, son of my daddy's boss, be at
home,Severus.Why your father didn't help you?"
-"Because he's stupid old phony"-answered i.
-"Know already in what House you'll be?"-continued Lucius-"I'm sure in Slytherin, they are fascinating, i
heard they even studied Dark Arts, yeah?"
-Ha!Don't fancy too much,study of Dark Arts forbidden in Hogwarts, ask my goddamn father.But i'm going
to practice in Dark Arts right now, want a short walk?We've got a two morons here which need a little
lesson.
And i, Lucius,Grabbe and Goyle started for the beginning of the train, i was looking for these two
blockheads.After a while i heard a loud chortling from one of the compartments,and saw two my birds, in
the company of third, very thin guy and girl with blond hear.They were chewing something and looked
happy-not for a long, however.
-Hi,rat's brat-said i-nice to see you.It seems we didn't finished our talk.For ladies better to exit.
-Hey, who are you?What's the problem?-asked third guy.
-The problem is that i think this trip is boring, i'm going to make you journey more interesting-answered i,
and,rising my wand, cried:"Serpensortia!"Big black snake shot from the end of my wand and fell onto the
floor,hissing aggressively.I snatched the girl's hand (she wasn't guilty,o'key?) pulled the girl from the
compartment and shut the door.Loud screams from within were my award.
Tehhie Pondohva (melamorie):
I was standing right on platform 9 3/4 thinking that everything that was going on in my life was just not
right! I was supposed to be the youngest one, the one who everybody loved and cared about, but damn it
- never! My sister, Heather, was the Head Girl of Hogwarts some time, and my parents always made such
fuss about her. And now the same thing - they didn't even say "bye" or anything like other parents did ,I
saw, they just hurried off because "Heathy needs something on the Diagon Alley".
It was just unfair, I though, watching them disappear in the crowd of students. Unfair.I was looking
around, waiting for train to come, sullenly twirling my silverish hair. Suddenly a loud crash distracted me
from my thoughts. Two boys flew right into each other, now helping each other off the floor.
"Boys!" - I murmured, and didn't pay much attention to the situation, for my cat, Melyfaro began to
scratch himslef out of his bag. Can't sit silent for even a minute! Finally the train arrived. I got in - in my
cart there was almost nobody, except for a nice-looking girl with auburn hair and green eyes.
I was not quiet in the mood for talking, so I just stared out the window, thinking how boring my life really
is.
I think I fell asleep or something, but then I felt somebody patting my shoulder. I turned around, and saw
a girl with green eyes smiling shyly, and pointing somewhere to the end of the wagon.
- I think your cat broke loose... and It's kinda going crazy... - girl smiled once again.
I looked around. Melyfaro was galoping crazily on some paper, which was torn apart by his sharp claws.
I murmured a curse under my nose and quickly stuffed a cat back, scratched by his claws about twenty
times
"Oh, if there a world without cats" - I thought then.
And then I asked the green-eyed girl (for the silence in the wagon became tense)
- What is your name?
- Lily Evans - she said - And yours?
- Tehhie Pondohva.
-Funny name - she smiled again (it was annoying already) and then she suddenly added - I...
Lily Evans (princessehlah):
"Im sorry,"Lily began, a tad nervously."Im a little nervous. First witch in the family and all, so my parents
are kind of expecting alot from me." Tehhie nodded in understanding."'S'ok."she mutterd."My name is
different-""Different's good though."Lily interrupted."I suppose",Tehhie,checking once more on her hellish
cat."Do you have an animal?" Lily nodded, her eyes sparkling,"An owl. I named her Persephonie... I call
her Seph, though." They were both quiet again. Lily handed Tehhie a napkin to clean up her scratches.
"Are you the first witch in your family?"Lily asked curiously."God, no."Tehhie replied."My sister,Heather the
Great, attended Hogwarts a while back. She's what my parents call -"The Perfect Daughter".Lily listened
carefully. She understood sibbling rivalry.Tehhie stopped abruptly."So....you're the first witch out of your
entire family?Your parents aren't witches or whatnot?"Lily shrugged."Not that I know of. Im the
first."Tehhie made a face,"I would'nt go around announcing that if I were you...some people aren't too
tolerant of witches who come from non-magical families. I don't envy you that." Lily frowned.. This didn't
sound good. All of her thoughts of making tons of friends and having a wonderful time at Hogwarts flew
out the window.
Ver Snape (ver_snape_nasty_aspis):
Er...On what i finished last time? Well, loud screams.They became louder, but then i heard the great thud
and dead silence.
"Hmm-thought i-if they'll get to be killed, i'll be in trouble".And i opened the door.
Two my idiots were sitting in the corners, petrified, as it seemed, their eyes bulging.I turned to third guy
and my eyes started to bulge, too.He was chewing something.And something was the snake's tail,
dangling from his mouth.More than that, his ears went all grey and pointy, and his gaze was hungry and
flashing red.
He gulped the last piece of still twisting snake, and turned to me with the same hungry gaze.
-Uh oh-said i and retreated.From behind i heard tremendous crash-Grabbe and Goyle fainted.
Lily Evans (princessehlah):
Lily and Tehhie were in their car talking when they both heard the screams. Lily shot up."What do you
think that was?"Tehhie frowned."Im not sure I wanna know."Lily grabed Tehhie and dragged her to a car
where they found the sallow looking boy,two walking walls of flesh, and in the corner a very pale and
bored looking boy who seemed to be awakened by the screams. Lily left Tehhie for a moment and
stepped over the now fainted walls of flesh and stood next to the greasy haired boy,looking into the
compartment.Lily had always been very curious. The boy next to her yelled,"What is that abomination?"On
of the two dark haired boys looked at them with fear in his eyes,"This isn't one of your
pranks,Snape?"Snape shook his head,"I didnt do this,you brainless git!"he snapped back. The third boy
was now growling when suddenly a soft voice murmured soothing words to the third boy. His ears
twitched a moment and then he went still. A tall white haired man(whom they assumed to be a
professor) murmured gently,"There's nothing to fear here,go back to your compartments."Everyone left,
except Lily. This was all just to wild for her."Sir,what's wrong with him?"she asked softly,shyness flying
out of the window with her manners. His eyes twinkled,"Nothing a nice nap wont cure,Ms-?""Evans.Lily
Evans.""Ms.Evans. I am Professor Albus Dumbledore."He turned to the two boys who were now collecting
themselves and acting as thought nothing had happened."Ah, and you two are?""Sirius
Black,Professor."One of them said with a lopsidded grin. His black eyes were filled with lots of
mischief.The other one spoke up also,"James Potter,sir."His black hair, unlike Sirius' was out of sorts and
his round glasses were askew on his face. He blinked his brown eyes at their third companion and spoke
up."What just happened,sir?"Professor Dumbledore smiled again."Nothing to worry your minds with.Enjoy
the rest of your trip!"With that, he produced chocolate frogs, which the two boys started to chew on
immediately.Lily just looked at it."You've never eaten a chocolate frog,Flower?"Sirius asked."Lily."she
corrected"That's what I said.Lily."He winked at her."Boys,"she muttered. The tow boys were avidly talking
about retaliation on Snape when they noticed Lily still hadn't eaten her frog yet."It won't bite, you
know,"James said."It's not real."Lily looked at him and back at the frog. She wasn't sure which one she
found more odd.
Alastor Moody (fred_weasley_the_naughty):
I got stuck in goddam dustbin coz i forgot my invisibility cloak at home, and my wand, too (i used too
often my beloved flask, i suppose).Janitor pull me (i.e. dustbin) and loaded in some car, and we started
devil know to what.Then we stayed and trash bin with me falled onto something indeed hard!And i
dropped unconcience.
When i woke, first thing i heard was hissing.Not so nice, actually, not nice a little.And then some
high-pitched voice thrilled:
-Hey,Naginy, get off this trash bin, you have something more pleasant to supper.
"Not me-thought i-not me, snakie, please!"
Then the second voice interrupted
-With all my respect,Lord Voldemort,i think you could choose a more agreeable place for our meeting
than this dirty hole.
-Dirty hole, you said!-hissed first (wow!Voldie it was)-it's my father's manor, you miserable!
-Khmmm-answered second (and his voice seems quite a familiar to me)-May be it WAS a
manor....Something as 1000 years ago.
This voice was known to me pretty well, no doubts!I drilled a little hole in dustbin to look around, and
what i've seen?
First, the snake-like red-eyed head, poking from the pile of garbage.Second, great snake, enthusiastically
feasting on somebodie's remnants.And third-my god, it was Dumbledor!
Tehhie Pondohva (melamorie):
After some professor told us all to go back and relax, I simply obeyed. Lily stayed behind (probably trying
to satisfy her curious nature by asking two millions of questions). As for me, I had to check on my cat. It
was a sort of animal you can't leave alone for a second. But to my great surprise Melyfaro was sitting
quietly in his bag, possibly sleeping.
I also felt a bit exhausted (I don't know why, however, because I slept for almost nine hours last night). I
dozed off slowly, first checking on the cat once again - he was also very cunning, and used any chanse to
rip my nerves into pieces. I slept for the rest of the time. My dreams were quiet messy as always, but at
least I had one nightmare (don't be surprised that I sound so happy about it - the problem is that I rarely
have any dreams at all, and nightmares are like a bargain to me (happenes once a year or so)).
But this nightmare was weird. It wasn't as scary as others, but it was too, I say, ... er... real.
I saw myself walking through the woods, all nervous, the huge ball of moon shining over me. I was holding my wand tightly, wondering why am I here, and what really happened. SOmewhere deep inside I understood that this must be a dream, but that didn't do me any good in the present situation. Silently I walked forward few more meters when a loud shriek made me jump. I heard somebody running towards me, and felt my hair stand at the back of my head. Footstepd approached, and I saw that was no beast or anything, but a boy, all pale and obviously too scared to think clearly (he was running deep into the woods, where he can expect anything to happen to him, even worse than just injury). He didn't notice me, probably took me as a bush or something, for soon I was pushed out of the road, and he disappeared into the darkness. After that I knew clearly that somebody else passed, somebody, who I had to stop, but couldn't it. In fact, I couldn't even move. I heard faint whispers from behind. I tried to get up (my back ached - I was thrown off on the ground), but was not able to do that. The whispers approached. I saw a boy walking with some man, I think, a Professor, and talking in low whispers. I saw somebody moving along with them, slithering in the shadows. I tried to warn them, but as I said, I couldn't even move my lips enough to whisper. A Boy and a Professor passed by, and then I saw what was following them, and I felt sweat running down my spine. It was a snake - a gigantic snake (never loved these animals too much). All of the snakes I saw were quiet dumb (sorry, Smart Snakes), but this snake seemed to have her own big brain (wouldn't be surprised if she could talk and finished some Snake version of Hogwarts sometime). And it was so big and... gross. I tried not to breath, as it passed, but it eyed teh palce where I was suspiciously, but was obviously too busy chasing these two. Several minutes passed after that and I felt that I could move. I slowly got up from the bushes and took a run for it. On my half way through the woods (where I was running?) I heard a blood-curdling scream, and... woke up.
The train was approaching Hogwarts, and, I, although still nervous about the nightmare, groaned and checked on the wagon. It was still empty - Lily Evans had not returned from her 'investigation". My cat was sleeping peacifully ("Lucky you" - I moaned, since I just woke up, feeling quiet panically). The train stopped. Sighning once more i got my trunk and the cat and got out of the train.
Ver Snape (ver_snape_nasty_aspis)
When we returned to our car,Lucius said:"O'key, it was Dumbledor, old ass.My father always says he
interrupts in all affairs to spoil them.But from where who came?"
"No ideas.May be,he was this blond girl-she disappeared immediately after i opened the damned
door."-sneered i.-"Anyway, he's blond in some respect, too, and his hair almost as long as her's.Leave
him,what you think about this grey-eared guy?Suppose he's shape-shifter or something?"
"You noticed grey ears?I didn't, only growls and so on.May be you just imagined it?"
"And the sad end of the snake, i imagined, too?"
"What snake?Don't remember"-answered Lucius with very defocused and strange gaze.
"Damn it all, old git put a Memory Charm on you, guy, it seems, but how?Did you noticed something?"-i
asked G&G.
They only winked stupidly and groaned something about breakfast.
Several hours after that train approached Hogwarts,obscure picture of great mountains was visible
through the window.It was a great hubbub on the station, but the enormous voice pierced the
commotion:"First years,down here,ter the lake.Come up, ya sluggish kids!"It seemed that one of the
mountains around decided to go to the walk-it was Hagrid, this thick bull of gamekeeper, no doubts.We all
walked down from the station to the lake and on the board of little boats-i with Lucius, Grabbe and
Goyle.We started through the lake, enormous outline of Hagrid in front boat, when i heard a loud splash
from behind, and something as 1000 liters of cold water washed our boat.When i winked water from my
eyes, i saw my enemies in the boat behind, laughing off their asses.
-"It's enough"-roared i and Lucius simultaneously, and the red jets of light shot from our
wands.Something cracked,the following boat trembled, and the fourth it's passenger, little fat guy, fall
over the board into the lake.
