Chapter 6
Lily wandered past the compartments, all of them appearing to be full. Finally, she saw an available compartment with a nervous young boy sitting in it. She slid open the door and smiled warmly to him.
"Hello, my name is Lily Evans. May I sit in here with you?" she greeted him.
The boy looked at her like a frightened mouse would. He looked like one too. Mousy brown hair hid part of his eyes. His two rather large teeth chattered like a rat's. Lily did not really like this boy so far, but he couldn't be worse than James or Sirius.
"I-I'm Peter," The boy started timidly, "Peter Pettigrew. Are you a first year?"
Lily nodded yes and sat across from him. The boy now known as Peter looked relieved.
The door started to slide open. They both laid eyes on a skinny, pale boy with black hair hiding his face. Does everyone have black hair? wondered Lily, who cannot help noticing that the stranger's hair was a bit greasy. From what she could see of his face, the new boy looked extremely sour and a little frightened.
"Hello, I'm Lily Evans," she said to the stranger. "And that's Peter Pettigrew."
The new boy examined both of them with a cautious stare. "Severus Snape," he answered, finally. Then he took out a heavy book and started reading, refusing to say anymore.
A fourth person came into the apartment. To Lily's joy, his hair was not black. So far, every boy with black hair has not been very friendly to her. She was starting to want to return to her old school...
This boy had silver-blonde hair pulled back into an elegant ponytail. His steel gray eyes looked as cold and proud as the clothes he was wearing. Lily was no expert in wizard fashion, but she could tell that his outfit must have been very expensive.
"I am Lucius Malfoy," the blonde stated loudly to the compartment. Only Severus did not look up to pay attention. "Are any of you Muggle-born?" Lucius asked. Peter frantically shook his head. Severus kept on reading. Only Lily nodded a "yes."
Lucius looked at her as if she were vulture droppings. "Well then, I'm leaving," he sneered at her.
So much for hoping he'd be nice to me, Lily sighed inwardly. She made herself comfortable on the seat and listened to the rhythm of the train, drifting away to Slumberland.
Lily: Geez, I died an early death and you're making me miserable in life.
BloodyDice: Hey, you were a teen. It's an inevitable part of adolescence.
James: Stop using big words! (covers ears)
Lily: I supposed you wouldn't know any higher vocabulary since all you did was play pranks and Quidditch.
Sirius: Hey, what's going on?
BloodyDice: These two lovebirds here were just having a row, that's all.
Sirius: BORING. Hey James, let's go race cars! (looks at Lily and BloodyDice) Do you wanna come to?
Lily: No. I don't understand why men are so obsessed with cars.
BloodyDice: Umm... you don't want to see me behind wheels. Being tortured by You-Know-Who is probably better than being near me when I drive.
James: Why? What happened?
BloodyDice: Let's just say that it involves police, concrete, and some big explosions...
