Bella searched for a compartment. Andromeda had sat with a group of
girls, one, Bella noted, had long red hair. She searched for a compartment
until she found one with a boy with greasy black hair and gaunt skin.
"May I sit here?" Bella asked timidly. The boy simply nodded.
"What's your name?" she asked him.
"Severus Snape," he said proudly. Bella could tell he expected her to be impressed, but she was more confused.
"Hi, Severus," she began. "I'm Bellatrix Black, but I go by Bella."
"Black?" his eyes widened.
"Yeah, Black," said Bella uneasily. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"No," said Severus quietly. "The Blacks are really famous in the wizarding community, that's all."
Bella nodded, puzzled. She walked into the compartment and took the seat opposite Severus. She looked out the window and didn't say another word, thinking about her revenge on her cousin.
"What house do you want to be in?" Severus's voice.
Bella jumped. "Slytherin, I think. What house are you in?"
"Slytherin," Severus informed her.
The compartment door opened. In walked Sirius, flanked by Prongs and Wormtail.
"So, Snivellus," began Prongs. "Got a friend, have you?"
"Shut up," Severus snarled, his lip curling.
"Isn't that your cousin?" Wormtail asked Sirius.
"Bella?" said Sirius with surprise. Then he started mocking her. "Oh, Bella, you couldn't even get onto the train on your own..."
"Sirius, you again!" It was a girl. She had remarkable eyes, the color of sapphires, and black hair shoulder length. "Black, you aren't being nice."
"Alice," said Sirius in alarm. "Look, she's not a nice person, I tell you..."
"If all the mean people were to be taunted, you wouldn't have a bit of time to spare," Alice retorted. She glared at Bella. She glanced at Severus, who had taken to staring out the window.
"I don't need any help!" snapped Bella. "Get away from me, I tell you!"
"I did see you getting dragged onto the train," Alice said nastily. Sirius and his friends laughed. Severus got up and slammed the door shut.
I'll get revenge on all of them, thought Bella. Especially Alice.
"May I sit here?" Bella asked timidly. The boy simply nodded.
"What's your name?" she asked him.
