I was wondering Snape, James and Lily's years at Hogwarts. So… the ideas come and here is the first part of the story. I hope you like it! Write reviews, please!!!!!!!!!!!
The Beginning – First year – Part 1
September first, 1972 – King's Cross Station.
The Evans family, except for Petunia, was proud of their youngest member, Lily. She was invited to study in a witchcraft school. What was the name? Yes, it was Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Petunia, probably was jealous of Lily. She always wanted to be a witch, even though she had never imagine that could exist a witchcraft school, she loved to play with Lily like this: she was the witch, Lily was the princess, Petunia loved to mistreat Lily. But she wasn't chose to be a real witch, fragile and docile Lily was. What the hell Lily had that she doesn't have? So, Petunia started to hate all kinds of magic. After Lily received the letter, Petunia's first thought was "they must have changed the name, I'm sure this letter was for me". When she realized the letter was right, to Lily, she started to thought that Lily was the weird, even wanting more than anything else in the world to be Lily.
Ms. Evans was crying when they left the car to go along with Lily towards the train.
"Lily, honey, are you sure this platform exist? 9 and ¾?"
"Mum, she sent a letter to herself, just to pretend to be something different, like a witch!" Petunia shouted
"Petunia, your sister has qualities enough, and she doesn't need to pretend to be nothing. You're jealous!"
"Mummy! I'll ask this black haired lady. She is with a boy in my age, and she must know about this. The boy, probably her son, is carrying an owl. I've read in the books, that the school had recommended, that witches and wizards like owls as pets."
Then, Lily walked towards the black haired woman
"Excuse me, lady. Could you tell me where the platform 9 ¾ is?"
"Don't you KNOW??? Well, it's just between platform 9 and 10."
"Thank you very much! But the barrier is solid. How can somebody pass it?"
"Just walk through it, you won't be hurt. Are you a muggle-born little witch?"
"Yes, all my family don't have magical blood."
The black-haired lady looked Lily's family
"I see. They're quite strange, aren't they?"
Lily just forced a smile.
The boy with the lady, was black haired too, but his hair was very greasy. He didn't look very happy.
Lily walked towards her family. Mr. Evans was carrying her trunk. He tried to give some money to Lily, but she didn't accept
"It doesn't worth in Wizard's world, dad!" she said kindly
She had some galleons in her pocket. Not too much, but it wasn't nothing, either. It was enough.
Lily bade farewell to her family. Petunia disguised a tear. She would miss Lily, their fights, but she doesn't want to show frailty.
Lily was the first to get in the Hogwarts Express. She entered in an empty cabin. The greasy-haired boy (who was with that lady) walked in front of her cabin, glanced her, and when their eyes meet, he blushed and ran towards another cabin.
"He must be shy" she thought
It was almost 11 o'clock, the time the train would leave King's Cross Station. Lily was lonely in her cabin. She didn't know anyone.
Then, two boys entered her cabin
"Hi! All other cabins are full. Can we sit here?" one of them said
"Of course!" she answered
"My name is James, James Potter. And this is Sirius Black." The boy introduced him and his friend
"I'm Lily Evans." She said timidly
A minute later, another boy entered the cabin
"May I come in?"
"Yes!" Lily answered
"I'm Remus Lupin." The boy introduced himself
"Nice to meet you, I'm Sirius Black, he's James Potter, and the girl is Lily Evans."
The train started to move.
They started a conversation. Lily's timidity was vanishing.
"Which house do you want to be?" she asked them
"Gryffindor, of course!" James said quickly
"Me too!" Remus agreed
"I'm almost sure I'll be there, all my family was Gryffindor!" Sirius shouted
Lily was quiet.
"What about you, Lily?"
"I don't know. For what I've read, I prefer Gryffindor, but I don't have any relative to speculate."
"Just don't go to Slytherin. People there are very arrogant!" James shouted
"James, anyone here can go to Slytherin! We don't choose, there is something that do this." Remus explained
"It must be painful." Lily whispered
"I don't think so. My father told me there's a Sorting Hat, which chooses in which house you should be in. It knows your qualities and knows where you must be." Remus explained calmly
"It's a fairy tale, Remus. Imagine if a hat would know who you are. We must do a magic test, maybe we'll have to show our magical knowledge." Sirius replied
Lily was afraid. She was a muggle-born witch, how could she have magical knowledge?
"We're supposed to learn there, Sirius. There is many muggle-born students, how could they know anything about magic? After all, the houses are divided by the students' personalities, not by their knowledge." Remus replied
"Let's see. What about a bet? I bet 10 galleons for testing magical knowledge, you bet the same money for er… Sorting Hat. The winner takes all!"
Remus was quiet. He wasn't rich, he didn't have all that money. He didn't have beautiful and new robes like the other students in that cabin. How on earth he would have 10 galleons? He was almost sure that there would be a sorting Hat, once his father told him this, but, if his father told him this to don't scare him? It could be a fairy tale, like Sirius said. And if he bet what he didn't have? And if he lose the bet?
"I don't think we should bet." Remus said timidly
"Why not?" Sirius asked
Remus felt embarrassed. He was too responsible to bet what he didn't have, but he didn't like to show to other people that he was poor. He also didn't like to lie. He lied only in very special circumstances.
"I'm not sure if I'm right, so I don't want to spend money in a doubtful business."
He didn't lie. He just omitted the real true. It was humiliating for a child to say that he/she doesn't have as much money as other child
Sirius opened his mouth, but James discreetly kicked his foot.
"Ouch!" Sirius shouted
Remus looked sad.
Lily tried to change the subject of the conversation:
"And, do you know the teachers?"
"Not all of them." Remus said "I know the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is Professor Quintus Moody. His son, Alastor, is an Auror, a very good Auror, though."
"And there is a new Transfiguration teacher, her name is Minerva McGonnagall. She'll replace Professor Snape, who died last year." Sirius told them
"There is an old man, Professor Binns, he teaches History of Magic since when my grandfather was at Hogwarts!" James said
"I don't know any teacher. Like I said, I'm a muggle-born witch."
"So, did you hear about Hogwarts's secret passages? I was talking to Sirius before entering the train, that we must find all the passages and do a map for the future generations of Hogwarts's students." James said
"I read in Hogwarts, a History, that there are many passages. How would you find all of them?" Lily asked
"We'll search all Hogwarts." James answered
"It'll be the "Marauder's Map"!" Sirius shouted
"Ooooh! We arrived! I can't wait to see Hogwarts's castle!" Lily shouted
After going to the Hogwarts's castle by boat, the group entered the Great Hall.
Remus was right, there was a Sorting Hat there. The hat sang a song, explaining how it would chose the houses for the students.
Professor Dumbledore called the first year students:
"Alison Ford!"
Alison Ford was a tiny blond haired girl with red glasses and blue eyes. She looked very confused. Then she sat on the bench and put the Sorting Hat on her head.
"Hufflepuff!" the hat yelled
Then professor Dumbledore shouted:
"Amanda Boggs!"
"Ravenclaw!" the hat yelled
"Bernard Peterson!"
"Ravenclaw!"
"Carolyn Williams!"
"Slytherin!"
"Chloë Angelkort!"
"Slytherin!"
"Daniel Lockhart!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Deborah Johnson!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Diana Patterson!"
"Ravenclaw!"
"Evan Rosier!"
"Slytherin!"
"Gabriel Summers!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Henry Wilkes!"
"Slytherin!"
"James Potter!"
James's blood froze. He ran as fast as he could to the bench. He stumbled in the middle of his way and felt on the floor. Everybody at Slytherin table laugh. James stood up, and blushed. Then he walked calmly, trying to not look to the other students and put the hat on his head.
"Gryffindor!" the hat said at the very moment he put it on his head.
"Konstanze Angelkort!"
Konstanze was Cloë's twin sister.
"Gryffindor!"
"Lily Evans!"
She was nervous too, but she didn't run, she was afraid to stumble just like James did. She walked graciously towards the bench. The greasy-haired boy looked at her looking like hypnotized.
After a few minutes, which looked like centuries to Lily, the hat decided:
"Gryffindor!"
Lily smiled. She was happy to be there. Then she joined Gryffindor's table.
"Lucia Rossini!"
"Gryffindor!"
"Mary Ann Simpson!"
"Ravenclaw!"
"Narcissa Karabastos!"
"Slytherin!"
"Oswald Lestrange!"
"Slytherin!"
"Patricia Wilson!"
"Gryffindor!"
"Peter Pettigrew!"
A very short and shy boy walked timidly towards the bench. The hat didn't yell the boy's house. After almost an hour, the hat decided:
"Gryffindor!"
"Remus Lupin!"
"Gryffindor!"
"Rona Green!"
"Hufflepuff!
"Rufus McDougall!"
"Ravenclaw!"
"Sabrina Brown!"
"Ravenclaw!"
"Severus Snape!"
It was the greasy haired boy.
"Slytherin!"
He joined Slytherin table.
"Sirius Black!"
"Gryffindor!"
"Thomas Taylor!"
"Ravenclaw!"
"Timothy Peterson!"
This boy was the twin brother of Bernard, from Ravenclaw.
"Hufflepuff!"
"Tori Donovan!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Ursula Bishop!"
"Slytherin!"
"Walter King!"
"Slytherin!"
Then, they dined. There were many kinds of food.
"Have you seen that that greasy haired boy?" Sirius questioned
"Who?" James asked
"That Slytherin. He's Severus Snape, the son of Harold Snape! Harold Snape was the Head of Gryffindor House before death. He taught Transfiguration. He died last year. He would die again if he saw his own son at Slytherin. Mr. Snape was very close to my father and he hated Slytherin. When I was younger, I used to play with Severus. He was always this: a slimy, oily, greasy-haired kid. I didn't like to play with him. He knows Dark Arts. I'm sure he knows more curses than half of the students in seventh year. Of course, he learn it with his uncle Antonin Dolohov, the brother of his mother. Janet D. Snape was a Gryffindor, but she has Slytherin's qualities." Sirius told them
"Well, let's talk about something more interesting than Severus Snape! We all are here, all who were at that cabin in the Hogwarts Express!" Remus changed the conversation
"It's funny, isn't it?" Lily laughed
"Yes, very funny!" James agreed glancing Lily
"And… there's another boy and another girl at Gryffindor who weren't at the cabin! I think her name is Lucia Rossini, and his name is Peter Pettigrew. He looks very small for his age, doesn't he?"
All of them look to the short, thin and shy boy. He wasn't talking to anyone at Gryffindor table.
"Poor him!" James said "I think he's afraid to make friends. I'll invite him to join us!"
James invited the boy to join the crowd.
"D-do y-y-you w-wan-want to inv-invite m-m-m-me??????" the little boy stuttered
"Why not?"
"Thank you!" he whispered
The boy joined them. Now Lucia was alone. The other two Gryffindor first year's girls, Patricia Wilson and Constance Angelkort were deep in conversation.
"I'll call her!" Lily said
"Hi! I'm Lily Evans. You must be Lucia Rossini!"
"Yes, I am. Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too! Are you Italian, I mean, your name is Italian, isn't it?" Lily asked
"Yes, my name is Italian, but I'm British like my mother. My father is Italian."
"I like your name! Do you want to join us? I mean, you're in the other side of the table, and there's nobody in our age where you are!"
"Sure!"
Lucia joined them. They were in deep conversation, when the prefect called them to go upstairs, to Gryffindor's tower.
"I can't wait to see the tower!" Lily shouted
"Me neither!" James agreed
When they arrived the tower, the prefect said:
"Pay attention, everybody, mainly the first years. This is painting is the Fat Lady. She'll open the passage only to who have the password. So, listen: everytime you want to go in the tower, you have to say: goblin's beard. Remember: goblin's beard. You'll have to say this password to get in until I change it, all right? So, let's get in!"
Vincent Sparrow, the Gryffindor's prefect, who was a Seventh year student, was very angry because he didn't get the Headboy badge. This year's Headboy was Amos Diggory, from Hufflepuff.
"Wow!" Lily shouted "I want to be prefect one day!"
"Really? So, you'll have to be a very good student, and you'll can't lost points!" Remus shouted
"She'll be!" James said
To be continued… it's a little annoying until here, but it's just the beginning!
