Hi! I am so sorry I haven't updated in such a while. Time for chapter 4! Suggestions welcome! Thanks to I Dance Alone for alerting me on my grammar and spelling in chapter one and I am deeply sorry. Any ideas you have will be considered. Hope you approve! Review review review!!!!
I pretended I wasn't staring at Lily's beautiful smile. I pretended I was looking out the window, But hey! I did that too! The castle was right in perfect view now, so I couldn't even see Lily's grin, so ha. The silver mist was wafting above the castle that said in superb clarity, Welcome To Hogwarts First Years And The Like I couldn't believe my eyes. I could've sworn I was the letters morphing into what looked like an old guy with an overgrown beard. How peculiar. When Lily finally looked away, I could see her emerald eyes green eyes so huge, if they were real they could pay for my house and buy me some descent clothes. "Th-this- OMG!!!" Lily screamed and started jumping up and down. I liked her robes. Well, they were the exact same as mine, because they were the Hogwarts ones, but I don't know why, but they looked so much better on her. They made me look like a overgrown bat. " Isn't great?" I tried to say it casually, but I was fighting the urge to jump up and down myself. I'm going away from home. From the war zone. From everything that made me want to be sick. Except Lily. Lily Evans. The one thing that made my life worth living. While she was spazzing, I avoided eye contact with James and company at all costs. I even went so far as to "pick my nose". That made them look away, so I was happy. Otherwise, when I could, I just looked at Lily. Before I knew it, the train had pulled up. The train conductor waved to us as we departed. "See you next year!" he yelled as the train shrunk into the mist. I gripped Lily's hand. I glanced at James. I saw him clenching his fist. It made me want to do something really bold. So I leaned over and- "FIRS' YEARS HERE! FIRS' YEARS!" The booming voice yelled so loudly, it startled me and I fell over. Lily ran over to me. "SEVERUS! What happened!" she crouched down and touched my face. It was scraped up… a lot. " It's nothing." I said.
" I'll tell you what happened, if ol' Snivvellus here is here isn't man enough. He tried to connect his filthy- scum, stupid lips to your perfect ones! Now if it were me- " SHUT THE- SHUT UP!!!!! IT WAS NEVER YOU AND NEVER WILL BE!!!" She screamed in rage. " I be sorry ter int'rupt yer little love fest here, but we got ter go." There was this huge guy looming over us. We all shrunk. Well, I didn't. Who's the man now? " Sorry, sir." Lily said gathering up her courage. The last student was already walking up the cobblestone path the the great stone castle, ancient turrets in every upper corner. "Erm, well, move along then. I'm Hagrid, by the way. So, er, get ter the Sorting!!!! GO ON!" He yelled the last two words, though evidently he though he said it gently, because he looked frankly baffled when we scurried away as fast as our legs could carry us. Anyhow, even though we were running our fastest, it obviously didn't stop Lily and James from arguing. " You- little- you- know that- we-never had- anything- it was- just friends-" Lily seemed on the verge of passing out. "SO what? People just hold
hands - mutually with- people they just met?" James said.I envied his ability to keep running while getting so many words in without stopping. " I knew- you thought we had something- but I- I just- UGH!" Lily uttered in exasperation. I was just watching the scene with Remus and Peter, who seemed to be genuinely confused. " You know we almost- what he- that dirty slob-" But James could never finish his sentence, for which I was eternally grateful. That would confirm everything that I already knew in my heart. That is, if I still had a heart after what I stirred up today. So be it. I am everything James says I am. I am worthless scum. At least this worthless scum has Lily Evans. "-you EVER call Severus that again!" I would've grinned, if I wasn't bleeding inside. How could I let her defend me after it was all true… and is true. I don't care. If I need to be worthless scum to have Lily Evans, then I was complete. Almost.
