Hello. This is my…hmm…3rd HP fic. But only the 2nd on FF.Net!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter for any other of its characters. I am simply borrowing them for my evil schemes and plots. Hehe.
Title:Was It Meant to be?
Chapter: 1/ Strange Greetings
A young red-headed girl walked quietly pushing a trolly through the tall arch ways of Kings Cross Trainstation. Her emerald eyes gazed around her cautiously as her parents walked behind her smiling. She had never been to this school her parents had told her about, but she was very excited indeed. But her sister, must have been scared or jealous. Petunia didn't want anything to do with her now. All she did was hang out with the fat bloke named, Vernon, that she could recall. A quite short statured man, and rim the middle she might add. But that was besides the fact. She was going away…for a whole year, to learn about her 'abilities'.
She was still confused about where it was. Her mum had told her…erm..muggles didn't know about it, or could see it…yet…it was in the middle of the trainstation!
"Ok, Lilly honey…here it is…now you best have fun there, and please behave…now…all you have to do is run, if you must, at the wall right there, between platforms 9 and 10…"
" Ok mum. I will miss you. And tell Petunia I said…erm…well bye."
Her parents nodded as Lilly nervously ran through the barrier.
She found herself in a large, domed area. A old fashioned train sat before her, the thick clouds of steam and smoke pouring from a spicket at the top of the front end. She shrugged as she grabbed her small carry-on type bag and looked around. The area was filled with the dim lights from torches that were hung around the high stone walls. She saw as well many other kids like her walking around and chatting lightly as they walked aboard the train.
She lightly stepped up onto a side step of the steam engine and walked in. Before her was a long column of red carpet and all around her were cabins and compartments that were separated.
'Just like the regular muggle trains..' Lilly thought to herself.
She wuickly hurried out of peoples way and rushed into an empty cabin. She plopped nevervously down onto a seat sighing in relief that part of the trip was over. I guess…it wasn't realy nervousness…it was mainly the excitement and overwhelming joy. But alas, she was worried slightly about what the other students would think of her.
She suddenly awoke from her thoughts as the cabin door opened. She looked up to see a some what tall boy standing there. Black hair falling to the bottom of his chin and flowing slickly around his face. His coal, eyes looked to her with the upmost shock.
" Erm…May I sit here..all the others are filled…well..actually, I'm trying to escape these 4 idiots that keep taunting me…"
Lilly giggled slightly.
" No, I don't mind…go right ahead…"
The boy sat down after Lilly gestured to the seat across from her to welcome him in.
" Oh, how rude of me, I'm Lilly Evans…and…you are?" Lilly smiled brightly as she said this.
"Oh, Severus Snape."
Severus eyed her a moment wondering why she didn't send him funny looks. She definitely, was new here.
" Yes, well…it's a pleasure…what house do you suppose you will be in?"
"Oh…I know I will be put in Slytherin…my whole family line has…won't be a surprise really, and yourself?"
Severus had a cold and gloomy tint to his attitude in a way. As if he wasn't happy with who he was or something of the sort.
" Hmm..I have read up on them…More than likely Gryffindor, but Ravenclaw wouldn't be bad…"
Severus grinned slightly but it sooned turned to a look of slight fear and anger when the cabin door slammed open and four…mischevious boys fell in.
"Oww…Good going Remus…oh yeah…lean on the door so we can hear! No James the door wont fall in! Your supposed to be the smart one here!" A boy with scraggly, light brown hair chuckled slightly as one with dark messy black hair and hazel eyes grinned, pushing his glasses up on his nose more, seeing as they had fallen down.
"Ehehe…Hiya Snape…ready for a good bashing?"
Severus eyed him.
" Back off, Potter."
"Make me Sna.."
"Ahem! James…get your lousey butt off me! Your not a feather you know!" A tall, well muscled boy exclaimed frantically frailing his arms while his black hair glinted in the light.
" Oh…ehehe Sorry Sirius old pal…and oops…did I hurt you Peter?"
" Oh…now why would you have hurt me? You only fell on my bloody arm James!"
" Oh…erm…ok…sorry…"
Suddenly, a loud noise was made. It was of some one clearing their throat loudly. The one who went by James looked up quickly and saw a furious Lilly standing there.
" Oh…hi there..I'm James Po.."
" I'm not stupid you know. I was listening the whole time."
" Good going James. You always get the pretty ones mad!"
James glared to the boy who proclaimed he was the infamous Sirius Black.
" Oh what ever…at least I don't scare them away…"
"Heh. Sure James…you have never even had a girl friend…"
"Ok, so I haven't Remus…and besides…I don't spend my life engulfed in stupid books…"
"SHUT UP!"
The four boys and Severus looked up quickly only to see Lilly's face red in anger.
" Ok, now…let's start this again the more, civilized way. All of you..up.."
They quickly listened and stood brushing themselves off while Severus snickered wildly at them.
" Ok…and you are?"
"OH…hehe Remus Lupin…"
"Peter Pettigrew…"
"Sirius Black…"
" James Po—"
"Hmph…if your trying to impress me just stop now because you are failing miserably…"
James stopped dead in his tracks. He had begun to ruffle his hair the way he always does when he see's a pretty girl. But now, his faced flushed a bright red.
"Oh…er—sorry…I'm just Jamed Potter…in case you should know."
Lilly just snorted in disgust at the four of them and they sneered to Severus and just glared to Lilly.
"Oh, good way to make friends Potter…"
"Why you little!"
Suddenly, Severus was cracking up laughing, while James stood dumbfounded with his dinky little friends. James was covered in black, from deep smoke and burns. He looked up and saw a wand at his nose.
"My…you have quite a short temper…eh Potter?"
A flash of pure blondish white hair waved in front of his face.
"You……"
T.B.C…
Ehehe. Well, do tell me how you like it! Thanks a bunch! Byes.
