I own nothing that I do not own. Get it? Got it? GOOD! YAY!

At Hogwarts

"Snape,Severus!" Called Professor Dumbledore holding the long parchment list at arms length so better to read it.

A small scraggly boy with shiny shoulder-length black hair stepped out of the mass of kids before him. He stared at his feet as he made his was to the tiny stool front and center. He looked less nervous than most of the other first years had though he looked sadder than all of the rest. His eyes were dark as night. There was something about him that made several people point and whisper. As the sorting hat fell over his eyes he thought hard of his intention. He wanted to be in Slytherin, He wanted to uphold his family name.

"I see in you the great courage of gryfindor.." Said the hat into his ear.

"Slytherin." Though Severus sternly.

"And the brains of a Ravenclaw." Added the hat.

"Slytherin" Repeated Severus dominantly.

"And, of course, the loyalty of Hufflepuff."

"NO!" This times the words were spoken aloud.

People all around the Great Hall laughed at the boy as he slumped into a deeper hunch on the stool.

"Slytherin." He thought over and over. Slytherin."

"If you're sure. I guess it is really up to you." The hat had been defeated. "SLYTHERIN!"

The Slytherin table burst with applause as Severus made his slinking way over to join them. From the Gryfindor table he could see a young boy who had been sorted by the name "Potter, James." Pulling grotesque faces at him and the boy three spaces down "Black, Sirius." Pointing with one long-fingered hand plugging his nose. Severus turned away.

Soon the sorting was over and a young girl with short black and green hair sat next to him. She had peircings not only in her ears but in her lip, labray, tongue, eyebrow, lip, bridge, nose, and septum. Her eyes were a deep grey and her skin pale as a vampire.

"Hello," She said in a lazy drawl. "My name is Katrice. Et toi?"

Severus stared at her confused.

"And you? Et toi?" She said with a half smile.

"Severus." He replied shortly.

Katrice helped herself to a chicken leg and put one on his plate as well.

"Well, it is nice to meet you Severus." She said sincerely. "You look hungry. I hear the food is wonderful."

Severus absentmindedly took a bite of the chicken.

"Say," Katrice grinned wickedly. "Do you know and potions?"

Severus shook his head truthfully.

"How about I teach you some? Not those baby ones they will teach you this year but some really nasty ones? I bet you could slip into the Potions professor's office without being noticed. I know loads that could be some real fun. You up for it?"

Snape nodded entranced by Katrice's eyes.

"I should warn you." Added Katrice turning to face him with a very serious look on her face. "I have been known to be a bad influence."

(A.N.I hope you like it. It will be funnier with more of a plot sooner or later. I have it all figured out but I might not have time to get it down for a while.)
