Again I do not own any of J.K. Rowling's characters.
Walking off the train
with the guys James who, of course, was walking right in front of you
suddenly stops making you run into him then into Remus arms. Your
cheeks flush and you are barely able to stutter out more than a
couple words. "Thanks for umm catching me Re-Remus." was all that
came out before you turned away from him, but not before you realize
that he was as red as you. "So, what's with the sudden stop James?"
Sirius asks James, who was still on the ground staring off into the
distance.
"Who's that girl talking to the greasy haired guy?"
James stutters.
You didn't even need to look to realize who he
was talking about and you see your best friends talking to the slimy
git. "That's my best friend, Lily Evans, she's a muggle born.
And, that idiot walking next to her is Snivillus I mean Severus
Snape," showing clear disgust in your voice on that last part.
"Can you introduce me to her? Wait; please say that she isn't
dating him," James asks in a hopeful voice.
"No, she isn't.
Thank God and yes Ill introduce you at the feast," you reply.
'Oooooo James likes Lily! Maybe if they start dating Snape will
back off and leave her alone. Oh, I can only hope!'
"James Potter,"
calls the witch in the front holding a very old looking hat over a
stool. James walks up and sits on the stool as the witch puts the hat
on his head. Instantly the hat screams out "GRYFINDOR!" James
jumped down from the chair with a triumphant look on his face and
joins the upperclassmen at the end table to your right.
"Severus
Snape." 'OK this is the point where the hat says that there is a
mistake and he doesn't even belong in this school' "SLYTHERIN"
'Dang it! I hoped'
"Peter Pettigrew" 'I don't care
where. He kind of creeps me out and I get a bad feeling about him.'
"GRYFFINDOR"
"Amos Diggory" 'HUFFLPUFF'
"Bellatrix
Lastrange"
"I never knew someone that fit their last name so
well," you whisper to Sirius who was standing right next to you.
"I
know she's my cousin," Sirius whispers back. 'Oh, crap I hope
they aren't close cousins' He obviously saw the expression after
you said that. "I hate my family so don't worry you didn't
offend me." A look of relief replaced the worried one. A couple
names went by while you were talking to Sirius.
"Sirius Black,"
The hat sat on his head for a while and it looked as if he was
talking to the hat. "GRYFFINDOR" 'I hope that I get into
Gryffindor'
"Remus Lupin" "GRYFFINDOR" 'I really
hope I get into Gryffindor'
"Elizabeth Ebony" You walk up
and sit on the stool. You feel the hat being placed on your head then
a voice starts talking in your head, but it wasn't your
thoughts.
"Where oh where should I put you?" the voice
questions. 'Gryffindor! All my friends are there!' "But, is
that really the best place for you?" 'PLEASE!' "All right
then, GRYFFINDOR!" Cheers erupt from the Gryffindor table and you
go and sit next to Remus.
"Lily Evans." At this you held your
breath at this. 'She has to be in Gryffindor! Away from him. Oh
god, say…' "GRYFFINDOR" 'YES!' You look across the hall
to see a very crest fallen Snape. 'Good.'
"Hey Lil," you say
as she sits down next to you.
"So who have you been hanging out
with all this time?"
"Some new friends. This on my right is
Remus. To his right is Sirius. Across from him is James and to his
right it Peter."
"Hi, nice to meet you all."
"Hey
beautiful," A look of disgust crossed Lily's face. At this you
knew James had screwed up. Lily hated guys that thought that they
could just get a girl by calling her beautiful. 'There goes my idea
of how to get rid of Snape.' The rest of the night Lily ignored
every attempt James made to talk to her or impress her. Other than
that the night went well. Remus and Lily seemed to become friends;
even though she didn't really become friends with anyone else there
it was a start.
