The three girls and Lily got up and headed out of the Great Hall. Lily wanted to leave on time so they would not get lost, a small tip from Leah's brother.
"Lily. Wait up."
She turned. Severus was running after her. She stopped as did the others.
"Good morning Severus."
"Hi, how was your first day?"
"Really great and yours?"
"Was okay. Bummer we are not in the same house."
"Yeah it would have been nice, but we can always hang out after lessons and so."
"Lily, let's go." It was Emma. She was looking at Severus, a little appalled.
"In a minute. Which class do you have now?"
"Transfiguration. "
"Oh we do too. We have the whole day together."
"That's great. Let's walk together, us two."

Lily smiled and looked at the other 3. Leah and Emma were shooting daggers at Severus and Caitlin was behind them.
"What?" Lily asked.
"Are we not good enough for Snape here?" Leah asked.
"What?"
Emma continued "He could have at least said hello."
The red head wanted to answer but Emma just said "Forget it, let's just go."
They started walking and then heard laughter behind them, Lily turned, it were the four Gryffindor boys. They were laughing at something James had said.

"Do you think Transfiguration will be difficult?" Caitlin asked.
"I doubt it. I heard Charms is a lot harder." Emma explained.
"Do you have any siblings Emma?" Lily asked her.
"Yeah an older brother. Scott. He's in Ravenclaw. 5th year."
"So you grew up with the wizarding world?"
"Yeah. My mom is a pureblooded witch, my dad is half, so we grew up knowing everything from Muggles and Wizards. Kinda awesome. You grew up in the Muggle world right Lily?"
"Yes, I didn't even know I was a witch before I got my letter and even then I thought it was a joke."
"I think that's so weird, you know like for us, this is natural of sorts. For you this is all new, but what is natural for you it's weird and new for us." Leah stated, lost in thoughts.
"You don't have to be so rude about it." Severus said.
She glared at him. "I was not being rude, I stated my opinion, I'm sorry it is not yours."
"I understand what you mean Leah. But I guess we can learn from each other."
"Totally."
"And from me too!" Severus chimed in.
Leah scoffed.
"Do you think I am not good enough."
"I don't really think about you."
Severus turned red and Emma said "You are kind of rude. Not greeting people when you speak to one of them in a group."
"If I only wanted to talk to one person then I do not see the need to start a conversation with everyone."
"It's just the polite thing to do." Leah's voice grew louder.
"Bug, everything alright?" Remus had appeared beside Leah with the other guys.
Lily hoped Severus would shut up as to not ruin her chances of being friends with those girls but he didn't "So you think you are better than I am."
"I'll say she is." Sirius Black said. "At least she washed her hair this morning."
James, Peter, Emma and Cait laughed.
Leah hadn't answered but was smirking lightly.
"I think you are a horrible person."
Leah looked shocked "And how would you know that?"
"I remember seeing you at times at the Ministry, the way you are treated, like you are better than everybody. So full of yourself, only ever thinking about you. Selfish."
"Don't you ever say something like that to her again." Remus stated.
Severus looked at him amused. "What will you do? She probably doesn't even care about you."
"Remus, let's just go. I don't need to listen to any of this." Leah answered. She took Remus arm and waved to the others, they all left and Lily was alone with Severus.

"You do not need people like that in your life Lily."
"I actually really liked the girls. They were kind."
"Not that Parker girl. She is pure trouble."
She did not want to believe him, so she kept silent. He kept on talking about how they should hang out later on and how glad he was to have met her.

Lily entered the class room, looking for a place to sit and saw that James and Sirius were sitting in the third row, with Emma and Caitlin beside them, Remus and Peter were sitting in front of the girls and Leah beside Remus, they were talking eagerly.
She did not know where to sit.
Leah looked up and waved her new friend over, pointing to the seat beside her with her bag on it.
Lily smiled and walked over there. She was glad she still wanted her to sit beside her.
"Hi, thanks for saving me a seat."
"Oh it's nothing. I wanted you to sit here. You are fun."
Lily smiled.

She was looking around the classroom and saw a cat sitting at the front desk. She wondered what that was all about.
People were murmuring around Lily, about how hard the class was going to be and how excited they were.
Suddenly the cat jumped and Professor McGonagall stood in front of us.
"Wow!"
"How?"
"You are an animagus!" James Potter said behind me.
"That is so wicked!" Leah said beside me.
McGonagall looked over to the Gryffindor group and smiled at Leah and James "Thank you for those compliments and 10 points to Gryffindor for recognizing an animagus."
Lily smiled.
"But in the future I would appreciate it if you raise your hand."
Everyone nodded.
The professor explained some of the basics of Transfiguration and the class wrote down some things and then class was over already.

The girls were talking eagerly about the class
"That was sooo wicked."
"I know."
They had a 20 minute break and Emma was hungry so we took a detour to the Great Hall, food was always available when needed and there were some sandwiches and fruits laying around. The girls took an apple and a sandwich. They were so delicious it seemed unreal.

The Potions Master was a roundly and slightly older man- Professor Slughorn.
Lily went to one of the front tables, sitting beside Caitlin, the 4 boys were sitting at a table beside them. 6 were able to sit at one table and the other two Gryffindors were already at Lily's table. Emma and Leah were starting to move to the 2 vacant seats at the table but Severus was faster and sat down beside Lily.

Lily looked at the two girls; they shrugged, smiled at her and went to sit with Remus and James. Severus beamed at his best friend. "Are you excited for this? I bet this is the best class."
She just nodded.
Professor Slughorn started talking. Explaining potions and what to use it for and then the class copied down some things, he asked some stuff and Severus and Lily were the only ones able to answer every question. It appeared that some others just didn't want to answer.
Lily looked over at her other two friends, while Slughorn talked. Leah and Remus and Emma and Peter were laughing as Sirius and James were pulling faces. Leah looked over to her new friend and waved. Remus poked her in the side and she giggled.
