Whoops! It's been a while. ^.^ I've been writing a lot of one shot ficts
lately, and I've been reading way too much Snape and Harry ficts. It's kind
of disturbing. I don't know what draws me to them. anyway! HP doesn't
belong to me.

For all of you stalkers.
Now, onto the fanfiction! Oh, ho ho ho ho!
**** Don't be discouraged! ****
Severus continued to walk, being the /slightly/ arrogant bastard that he was, ignored the fact that Lily and James were lagging behind him, going mad. Was he a comedian or something? Was he funny? He told them the truth, and they better get used to it.
"S-so," Lily snorted. "Can you show me some magic?"
"Oh, yes! Pull a rabbit out of your hat, please!" James gaily laughed.
Severus rolled his obsidian eyes. "Are you blind, or can you not see that I don't have a hat on my head. Anyway, I don't know the conjure spell for a rabbit on the top of my head." He honestly didn't know what was so funny- a rabbit out of his hat? He didn't get it.
"Oh I'm sorry, terribly sorry." James searched around his over coat, and pulled out a deck of cards. "Here, show me how to do that 'pick a card, any card' trick! I'd really like to know how you magicians know which card we picked." He had that Godforsaken smirk gracing his lips.
"Pick a card, any- what the hell are you going on about?" Ah, yes, the trademark sneer at its full glory. "And I'm not a magician, I'm a wizard. There's a difference."
Lily giggled. "Of course. I'm sorry for the mix up. Now, where is this train we're supposed to take?" She looked around happily at the train station.
Severus looked around, and spotted platform nine and ten. "Over here." He and the Potters walked over to the wall dividing the two platforms.
"So. we're going on train-" James whirled his head around to look at the train resting right in front of them, "- 12A? Why didn't you say so?"
"I didn't say that we were going on 12A, now did I? And I didn't say that we were going to be on platform 9." Severus sighed.
James cocked an eyebrow. "So why are we here?" He muttered something incoherent.
"We're going to walk through the barrier to platform 9 ¾, obviously." Severus told the couple.
"Nine and three." Lily looked around. "Walk through the." She looked at the wall, and blinked slowly. She then turned to Severus, looking him over. "He doesn't look unstable." She mumbled. "Maybe he's on that thin line."
James laughed. "You're kidding! You've got to be. Honestly, we aren't that gullible!" He got out another chuckle. "Walk through the barrier. that's a good one."
Severus growled irritably, and shook Lily's hand off his forehead. He stalked over to the wall, and walked straight through it.
He was counting his very few blessings when he saw the scarlet train steaming. Who knew? He put down his twelve cold cups of coffee, walked back out through the barrier, and dragged a very confused Lily and James Potter back in it by the collar.
They both gawked at it and Severus scoffed. "Come now, we haven't got all day," and picked up the egg carton full of cups of coffee.
Severus was even more pleased to see the people in the train who were ready to go off to Hogwarts. For what reason, Severus didn't ask. They found an empty compartment where a boggled James, entranced Lily and annoyed Severus sat.
Enter uncomfortable silence here.
Severus sighed, closed his eyes and leaned back into the velvet chair.
Lily played with her choker and let her eyes dart all over the place.
James had his arms crossed and was tapping his foot impatiently.
"So." Lily began. "How are you doing today?"
James stopped tapping his foot and glared at Severus. "Tell me where the hell I'm going, I'd like to know now. I feel like I was brought here against my will."
One obsidian eye cracked open. "Hogwarts." Severus answered.
James sighed with frustration. "Ok, I got that much, where /is/ Hogwarts?"
"Scotland. It'll take us a bit while to get there." His eye closed again, but opened it once James shouted at him again.
"What /is/ Hogwarts? Yes, I know it's a school!"
"It's a castle." Severus responded.
James bit his bottom lip. Apparently he had expected a bigger fight than that. He began tapping his foot again, and glared at Severus some more, even though Severus' eyes were closed.
Lily cleared her throat. "So, what kinds of people are there?"
Now both of Severus' eyes opened. Well, their son for starters.
"Students." Gods, what happened to his wit? Damn Lily and her beautiful emerald eyes.
She giggled. "Yes, but what sort of students? Nice, evil, loving, arrogant, indifferent."
"All of the above." Was Severus' answer. This was probably the dumbest small talk he had ever made. what sort of people are there? Really, Lily.
"What age group?" She inquired.
Severus closed his eyes again. "First years are eleven and twelve years old, and the seventh years are seventeen and eighteen years old."
"Ah," she intelligently responded. "Both girls and boys?"
"Yes."
"Do they have dorm rooms?"
"Yes."
"Are the girls separated from the boys?"
"Yes."
"Very good."
"Indeed."
"Are the classrooms separated from gender?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because they aren't."
More silence ensued. Honestly, Severus never remembered Lily being this annoying or air headed.
"Are the-"
"Lilian, could you please stop asking questions?" James snapped.
Lily glared at him. "What makes you think you can order me around?"
"Being me." James cockily answered.
Lily gasped. "How arrogant!"
He mocked her gasp. "How arrogant!" He said in a high voice.
"You." Lily narrowed her eyes.
"I what?" James' eyes twinkled with mischief.
"You bas-"
"Honestly," Severus interrupted, "stop being so childish. You're giving me a headache." He needed a raise. He didn't deserve this. Babysitting adults.
They both huffed respectively, and the rest of the ride, to Severus' pleasure, was talk-free.
Finally, after an hour of silence (and an hour of sleep for Sev), the train stopped.
"We're here?" Lily asked, looking around.
"No, we just crashed." James answered sarcastically. Lily glared at him.
"Come now," Severus stopped an on-coming argument. "I want to get this over as soon as possible."
And they took their first step back into the wizarding world. Oh, happy day.
**** Wahoo. Didja like that? It was all right. I've written worse. Be a doll and review. I honestly couldn't care less if it was a flame. They make me laugh. : )
