The Chosen One and Her Circle
Chapter 3
Lily Evans, James Potter, and Sirius Black, with a very nervous Peter Pettigrew in tow, walked through the dungeons of Hogwarts. Coming to an open door, the three boys followed Lily inside.
Lily walked into the room and stopped. They were in the Potions Lab, occupied only by Severus Snape and Tom Riddle.
Lily, eyes still wide and staring, body still stiff, turned to face the two young men. They were currently working on a potions assignment.
Severus Snape ignored the four people, three of which were staring at him. He continued to stir the brewing potion, stopping only long enough to add a pinch of powedered beetles' eyes.
Tom, however, did look up at the intruders. Realizing who is was, he sneered. "What do you want, Mudblood?"
Usually, this triggered a long line of curses from Lily that would make any Slytherin cringe, so Tom sat back, awaiting the girl's retailiation with another cold sneer.
She, surprisingly, ignored him, turning instead to face the boy stirring the cauldron.
"Severus Snape. You will join my Circle."
Hearing Lily speak, Severus' eyes became unfocused, and he dropped the spoon into the cauldron, where it almost immediately disolved.
"Yes, My Lady. Anything you wish, you have only to ask it of me." He came around the table and kneeled before her.
Lily's hand, again shining silver, placed itself on the kneeling boy's forehead, and withdrew. The circle glowed brightly, and was gone.
"Welcome to the Circle, Severus Snape." came three unemotional voices, from Lily, James, and Sirius.
"What is going on here?" demanded Tom of Peter.
"I - I don't know... They just ... started acting weird..." Peter stuttered, failing miserably in his attempt to explain their situation.
"Yes, I noticed they were 'acting weird', as you so intelligently put it!" Tom replied, cold as ice.
Peter's answer, if any, was stopped before it began, as Lily, flanked by James, Sirius, and Severus, exited the room.
Looking at Peter, Tom frowned, and followed the four entranced people.
Peter trailed behind, debating whether or not to fetch the Headmaster.
:: No... I'd never make it... I'd just lose sight of them, and I don't want to leave them alone with Tom for long... :: Sighing, he picked up his pace a bit, the better to keep them in sight.
A/N: YES, I KNOW. IT'S SOOO SHORT, AND I HATE DOING THAT TO YOU... BUT IT HAD TO END THERE, I'M SORRY. IT WAS SHOUTING, "END ME HERE! END ME HERE!" AND I EVEN ADDED ANOTHER PARAGRAPH THAN I'D PLANNED... AGAIN, SORRY. IF YOU REVIEW, I'M LESS LIKELY TO GET WRITER'S BLOCK DUE TO WONDERFUL FEEDBACK!!! CHEERS! OH, AND GO READ "FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON" BY CHAVI. IT'S SOOO GOOD!!!
