Chapter 1: The First Potions Class

Severus

Lily

James

Lily, you just dumped half of billywig stings into your cauldron. Are you sure you're okay?

I don't know, Sev. What if the hat was wrong and I should've been in Gryffindor? It's not that I don't like being a Slytherin; it's just that I don't know if I fit in here…. Is it true, what that Potter boy said, that most of the students in Slytherin turn out to be dark wizards?

Oh, please. Of course it's true, Lily. Don't listen to anything Snivelus says.

Use your own notes with your own little friends, Potter. It seems you Gryffindors already have a pretty tight nit group, if I'm not mistaken.

At least I have friends, unlike you, you antisocial worthless prat.

As a matter of fact, he does have friends, so you can feel free to go and bully someone in your own house.

Now why in the name of Merlin's beard would I want to do that?

I thought Professor Dibbit was trying to promote inter-house cooperation. It doesn't help if there are Gryffindors thinking there the head of the school and tormenting anyone they want too.

Refer to the muggle saying, "pick on someone your own size". Or are you too good for muggles and muggle-borns?

Just you wait, Snivelus. Just you wait.
