First Year

I don't own Harry Potter, the Marauders, or anything by JKR! I only own Aubrey and her storyline!

Aubrey Summers was a tiny first year, standing on the train platform and staring around in wonder. Suddenly she was knocked over by a tall boy with messy black hair and glasses.

"Watch out!" The boy shouted over his shoulder as he kept running.

Aubrey stood up and rolled her eyes at the boys craziness. She brushed herself off before lugging her trunk onto the scarlet engine. She scurried down the train looking for a open compartment. Finally she found one, pulled her trunk in, and heaved it up to the luggage rack. Panting, she sat down. But no sooner had she done so, the compartment door was flung open by the boy who had knocked her over earlier.

He was talking to someone behind him and laughing. By the time he finally noticed the small girl in the corner of the compartment he and his friends had already sat down.

"What are you doing in here?" He asked rudely.

"I'm reading my book." Aubrey answered calmly.

"Well get out! This is our compartment now." Another boy with long black hair said.

"Um...no! I was here first. You don't get to tell me what to do. And it's a free country."

The first boy yanked her up and shoved her out of the compartment into the hallway. Her trunk was thrown out after and hit her in the head as she was trying to get up. Aubrey lay dazed for a minute before a long curtain of red hair appeared before her.

"Are you okay?" Asked a girl's voice.

"Fine." Aubrey groaned and sat up, wincing "I'm fine."

"No you're not! You're hurt!" The girl cried "Come back to our compartment, We'll help clean you up."

"We?"

A dark haired boy gave a nonchalant nod to her "I'm Severus, that's Lily."

"Nice to meet you." Aubrey smiled and allowed the two to lead her to a empty compartment and clean her up. They spent the rest of the train ride laughing, snacking on every flavor beans, and chatting.

"What house do you want to be in?" Severus asked Aubrey curiously.

"I'm kinda hoping for Hufflepuff, that's where my dad went. But my mum was in Gryffindor. So one or the other. What about you?" Aubrey smiled, she liked her new friends.

"Slytherin." Severus grinned and sighed "For the cunning and ambitious."

"I don't really know where I want to go." Lily sighed "I just want to have some friends wherever I go. Ravenclaw might be nice." She mused.

"Who are your parents?" Sev asked "You said they both went to Hogwarts?"

"My dad's name is Christopher, he's a half-blood. My mums name is Giselle and she's pureblood."

"Wow!" Lily exclaimed "Do you already know some magic?"

"Not really." Aubrey shrugged "I know the theory of some spells and I'm a pretty good potion maker. I help my mum and my aunt make them at home. They have a little business selling potions in Diagon Alley."

"Summers Simmering Salves?" Severus asked.

"That's the one."

"My mum loves that place. She gets all her potion ingredients and potions there. She won't believe I've met you." Severus grinned "You should come visit us in the summer. You could meet her."

"Maybe." Aubrey smiled "I'll have to make sure to ask my parents."

The train sped down the track and soon they were nearing Hogwarts. Sev stepped out of the compartment so the girls could change into their robes. When he came back, wearing his robes (he had changed in the toilet) the three's easy conversation slowed as they got more and more nervous. When the Hogwarts Express reaches the station the trio hurried out onto the platform.

"Firs' years! Firs' years! Over 'ere please." Called the loud voice of a giant man.

Sev, Lily, and Aubrey exchanged a look before hurrying up to the tall man.

"Inta' the boats please! Four to a boat! Firs' years!"

Sev grabbed Lily and Aubrey by the arms and tugged them into a small boat. They were soon joined by a boy who called himself Amos Diggory. He spent most of the boat ride staring at Lily causing Severus to glare at him. Aubrey got the feeling that Sev had quite the crush on her new friend.
