Disclaimer- The mighty Aurora owns nothing of this, except the plot (plot? what plot?) and a few original characters, who pretty much own themselves. Everything else belongs to the mighty esteemed J.K.Rowling.
A/N- Hullo peoples! This is my first fic so please r/r!!! I need comments!!! Desperately!!! Um, yes, the rating may seem a bit much for this chapter, but trust me, it gets MUCH worse. MUCH MUCH MUCH worse. Please R/R, I need the comments. Thankyou, -Aurora
"Evans, Lillian!" The sorting hat shouted, as a small first year with bright flame-red hair and bright green eyes walked up and sat on the stool, and plonked the sorting hat on her head.
"Hmmm… Quite strange, quite strange" The sorting hat said, considering her house.
"A great deal of trust towards friends… I *could* put you into Gryffindor... You'd be good there… But there is also lots of loyalty... You'd make a good Hufflepuff, but you're way too intelligent for that… Very smart, you might do well in Ravenclaw, but I sense that you may not work just for the good results, you my dear, have a thirst for power… Yes, I know where I'll put you! SLYTHERIN!!!!!"
The last word, the hat yelled to the great hall. Lillian took off the hat and walked over to the clapping Slytherins. Meanwhile, a tall 3rd year Gryffindor with messy black hair and blue eyes was making eyes at a certain red-haired Slytherin 1st year. A boy with black hair and deep brown eyes was sitting next to the infatuated one, and nudged the sandy haired boy on his other side.
"Hey Remus" The black haired boy said to the sandy haired one. The sandy- haired boy looked at him irritatingly.
"What do you want Sirius? My little sister Medula is going to be sorted now!" Remus said, just as the hat yelled out "GRYFFINDOR!!!!!"
A short first year girl with sandy blond hair came bouncing over to Sirius, Remus and the boy still staring at Lillian.
"Hello Sirius! Hello James! Hi Remmie! Look! I'm a Gryffindor!" She said.
"Well done! That's my little sis!" Remus said, hugging her.
"Don't I get a hug Medula?" Sirius asked, pouting. Medula hugged him, said goodbye, and bounced off the where the other 1st years were seated. Sirius nudged Remus again.
"Look at James! He's gawking at that Slytherin 1st year with red hair! The one talking to Snape and Malfoy!" Sirius said, smiling gleefully, a mysterious glint in his eye.
"She *is* kinda good looking…" Remus commented.
"Yes, but a Slytherin! And a 1st year Slytherin 1st year at that!"
"Point taken. We have to save him. James? James!?" Remus said, trying to get his attention away from the redhead by waving his hand in front of James' face.
"Yoohoo? Jamesie? Mr Potter! Detention fro one month with Muriel Parkinson for gawking at Slytherin 1st years!" Sirius shouted, imitating Professor Venus McGonagall, the mother of a girl in their grade (Minnie McGonagall). James just sat there, staring at Lillian Evans.
"Whoa… Ickle Jamesie has fallen for a Slytherin, and fallen hard." Sirius said, beginning to eat James' cake. James suddenly snapped out of his reverie and yelled at Sirius.
"SIRIUS BLACK! BACK OFF! THAT'S MY FOOD! AND REMUS JIMINYCRICKET LUPIN! HOW DARE YOU LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THAT!"
"Yay! James is back!" Sirius said, clapping his hands, "We thought we lost you Jamesie"
"What? Lost me?"
"You were looking at that Slytherin 1st year like she was the only butterbeer in all of Hogsmeade!"
"No I wasn't!" Said James defensively, crossing his arms, but every so often his eyes would wander over to Lillian who was subjected to Lucius and Severus flirting madly with her, along with every other single (and some not;)) male at the Slytherin table.
The night soon ended and Lillian was escorted by Malfoy and Snape to her dormitory, leaving James in a very unpleasant mood indeed…..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At breakfast the next morning, Lillian was still attracting admirers from every house, including James. For once he was envious of Slytherins, and it hurt him to think of it like that. Lillian meanwhile was trying to fend off the unwanted attention of males of every grade hitting on her. A 6th year was hitting on her when the timetables were beginning to be handed out, so he begrudgingly returned to where he was previously seated, much to Lillian's enjoyment.
"Hmmm… Herbology with Professor Willow first, in greenhouse one.. well I better be going if I want to find it ok…"
Snape and Malfoy walked up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around smiling.
"Hello Lucius, hello Severus"
"Hello Lillian. Severus and I have a free period for quidditch practice first and we'd be honored to show you the way to the greenhouses"
"Yeah, we'd love to help"
"Really? Thankyou, it would be so great, this school can be so confusing"
"Yes, we know. Shall we go?"
"Sure" With that, the Slytherins took one of Lillian's arms in theirs and walked out of the great hall. James was practically seething at this point.
"It's no fair, *I* could be doing that!" James proclaimed, and Sirius started laughing.
"Oh James, you are in lurve with Lillian Evans!!! Hahahahaha! Mr Slytherin! Has a ring to it don't you think Remus?"
"Definently" Remus said, trying to contain his laughter. Unsuccessfully mind you.
"I am not in love with her. I just think she's hot"
"You think a Slytherin is hot? You think a Slytherin 1st year is hot!?!?" Sirius asked incredulously.
"Well…. I don't think of her as a Slytherin… just as a hot chick… which mind you I could have anytime I wanted"
"It'd be pretty hard to get her away from Malfoy and Snape though…"
"I could do it!"
"20 galleons says you can't by the end of this year without the use of any magic to aid you. She also has to say 'James Potter I love you implicently' without you prompting her. Ok?"
"Ok!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Listen, Daniel, I just don't think this'll work out between us, I mean, you're in 6th year and I'm in 1st. There's too much of a gap between us. I'm sorry." Lillian apologized profusely to a heartbroken 6th year.
"You may be sorry but you'll pay, you'll pay Lillian Evans" Daniel said then stormed off.
"Oh no…." Lillian said and buried her head in her hands. "Bloody males…"
"Hey Lillian, what's wrong?" Severus said, concerned, as he sat down next to Lillian.
"Daniel Gallon just got really angry at me because I don't like him the way he likes me.. and.. and he threatened me…"
"It's ok Lillian, he won't hurt you, I'll, make sure of that"
"Thankyou Severus. It means a lot to me"
"Anytime. Well I got to go. I have transfiguration homework. Bye Lillian"
"Bye Severus"
Severus walked away and his seat was immediately occupied by a Slytherin 3rd year. This time, a female.
"Hello my name is Muriel Bulstrode. I gather you're Lillian Evans?" She said, extending a hand which Lillian took.
"Yes, nice to meet you. How do you know my name?"
"The whole school is talking about you, particularly the male population. You are the envy of almost every girl here at Hogwarts" Muriel said, looking at Lillian impressively.
"Oh… I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do anything wrong! Honest! I wasn't aware I'd done anything wrong!"
"You have nothing to be sorry for. Although I would watch my back if I was you, many girls don't like their boyfriends gawking at 1st years, no matter how pretty they are"
"Oh, thankyou for telling me. You're the first person other than Lucius and Severus who haven't tried to hit on me." Muriel just laughed.
"I can believe that. We're having a party out on the quidditch pitch later, strictly 3rd years and up, but I'm sure they'd have no problem if you come along. I could even lend you my spare broom"
"Really? That'd be great! Thanks a lot Muriel, you're a true friend"
"It's ok, Slytherin Code of Ethics rule number two: Always uphold the Slytherin name. If helping you will help the house, then help you I will."
"Slytherin Code of Ethics? What's that?" Lillian asked, confused.
"You haven't seen them? They're in the common room"
"Oh. It was late last night and it had been a hard day so I barely looked at the common room"
"Ok. Make sure you do. They are very important to us Slytherins. I better go. McGonagall has piled on the homework already… Stupid cow, she always favors those goddamn Gryffindors, just because Mineva's in Gryffindor"
"Who's Minerva?"
"Venus McGonagall's daughter. She's going out with Filius Flitwick! A Hufflepuff! Can you believe that? Well I better go. See you in about half an hour, k?"
"Sure, see ya Muriel"
