~Lord Voldemort's Heir~ A/N: I'm not very descriptive, I don't think so anyway, so please bear with me, there's a grizzly behind me and he's kind of intimidating lol. Why are you all throwing tomatoes at me? You didn't even start reading the fic! Anyway, this is my first ever fanfic and I'm going to need A LOT of help! If you're confused, or if I make any mistakes, even caPitiLiZation or punctuatio'n, especially speling, tell me and I'll improve. (Or die trying) I update when I'm bored, which is quite often, because I write when I'm bored(again, quite often).

Chapter 3: Snape and the Sorting

"You're from Durmstrang?!" James howled.

"Prongs, calm down!"

"Sirius, you don't understand, do you?"

"James, they're not all bad, you know,"

"What do you know about it, Remus?"

"It's not like that! Please listen to me. I'm not like-"

"Just shut up! Shut up and get out of here!" Kate ran out of

the compartment with James trying to chase after her, being

restrained by Remus, Sirius, and Peter. It had been going so well

with them. What had happened?

"Hey! Watch where you're going!"

"S-sorry," she looked up at the greasy-haired, hook-nosed

boy she had just collided with.

"Yeah, well you'd better be," the bow drawled.

"Kate!" it was Sirius. "Wait up, James didn't mean-" he

stopped dead in his tracks. "Snivellus, what are you doing to

her?"

"Sirius, he's not doing anything to me,"

Yeah, mouth-almighty," Severus Snape sneered back at

Sirius. "I've got the same right as you do to walk," Sirius was

still glaring at Snape.

"Kate, just come back, James is really sorry," Kate looked

at him apprehensively. "Well, no, he's not. But he's calmed

down,"

"Sirius, just leave me alone,"

"But,"

"Believe it or not, Black," sneered Snape. "You're not in

charge of everyone. She doesn't have to come with you if she

doesn't want to,"

"Just go back with your friends,"

"But, Kate,"

"Just go," Sirius looked hurt as he went back to the

compartment with Remus and the others were. But then, he

deserved it for what they did to her.

"Thanks," she muttered to Snape.

"Yeah, sure," he replied. A quizzical look crossed Snape's

face. "What were you doing with the Potter gang anyway?"

"The Potter gang?"

"Yeah," Snape said. "Those freaks Lupin, Black, Potter and

Pettigrew. They're not your friends, are they?" Snape scowled

"Not really, they just came into the compartment because

everywhere else was full up,"

"So you were there first?"

"Yeah. You don't like them much, do you?

"Not at all,"

"Why not?" Snape muttered something that sounded oddly

like "take off" and "pants."

"What was that, uh."

"Severus,"

"What was that, Severus?"

"Uh, Potter's a great bullying git. That's why I don't like

them. That Sirius Black is too. You'd better watch out, don't

cross paths with them," Something suddenly clicked into place in

Snape's head. "Hey, my compartment's not completely full. Do

you want to sit with us?"

"Sure, it's not like I have a seat anymore,"

Kate followed Snape to his compartment on the other end of

the train. Clearly, he had either been to the lavatory or to meet

someone else in the last compartment. Or maybe he was trying

to see what James ant the others were up to.

"Here we are," Snape stopped in front of one of the

compartments. "I, er, didn't get your name,"

"Kate Carrington," Snape slid open the compartment door

and they both entered. Three boys and a girl were seated talking

to each other. They stopped as soon as they saw Snape enter with

Kate.

"Hey Severus, is this your girlfriend?" called out one of

the boys. Everyone snickered except for Kate and Snape.

"Guys," Snape began. "This is Kate Carrington. She is not

my girlfriend. Kate, this is Thomas Lestrange," One of the boys

waved.

"Evan Rosier," said another.

"Jan Avery," said the third.

"Bellatrix Black," said the girl.

"Wait a minute," Kate said to Bellatrix. "Are you related

to-"
"Sirius? Yeah, we're cousins,"

"So you're in Griffindor then?" Everyone just stared at her

blankly.

"The Black family is very well respected," she said. "All of

us have been in Slytherin, except Sirius. He's the, er, defective

wand in the pile," She scowled. "As far as I'm concerned, he's

not family,"

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or anything,"

"Yeah, just don't do it again, okay?"

"So where are you from anyway?" Tom Lestrange asked,

trying to break the tension." I've never seen you around, you're

a transfer, huh?"

"Yeah," Kate said. "From Durmstrang," Everyone gaped at

her.
"You went to Durmstrang?" Evan said. "Wow!"

"Yeah, I didn't like it much though,"

"You didn't like the school for the Dark Arts?!" Jan Avery

burst out. "How could you not!?!"

"No, don't get me wrong. I loved the Dark Arts stuff. I just

didn't like the Headmaster, Professor Sturm. He hated me,"

"So you're going to get sorted then, I guess?" Severus

asked.
"I suppose so," Kate answered. "Er, how do you get

sorted?"

"You put on this ancient hat and it searches you brain and

tells you what house you're in," Evan said lazily. Tom and

Bellatrix were slowly leaning into each other.

"Searches your."

"Your brain, yeah. Tom, if you're going to snog Bellatrix,

do it somewhere where we can't see it," Black and Lestrange

scowled but didn't go anywhere. Jan looked out the window.

"We'll be at Hogwarts soon," he told them all.

"Good," said Tom.

"Why?" asked Avery. "So you can go snog-"

"Fernunculus!" His curse hit Avery in between his eyes and

angry red boils sprouted up all over is face.

"What did you that for!?!" he howled and covered his face,

desperately trying to hide the now egg-sized boils, some of

which were already rupturing.

"Gee, Jan. You'd better go straight to Madam Pomfrey when

we get to school,"

"Yeah. Kate, good luck at the Sorting. Hope you're in

Slytherin," _______________________________________________________
A/N: Well that's a new record! I actually didn't have to combine two chapters to make it longer. My mom calls me mouth-almighty a lot, so I thought I should put it in there. Okay, I haven't decided what house Kate's going to be in yet. So review with the name of the house she should be in. Slytherin, Griffindor, Ravenclaw, or, hey, even Hufflepuff! I need all the ides I can get, so those are so welcome in your review too. I know that it's kind of going slow so I NEED your ideas to make it go faster. Bottom Line: _________________
