Chapter 2: Seveus and the Marauders
Standing on the platform looking up at the shining well polished trained her eyes darted distractedly all around the smoke of the train rising in the cool September air. Stepping forward blocking out the chatter of her annoyed cousin she moved her things that were placed neatly on the trolly near the service area where the luggage was being loaded. Before she could stop it another figure dashed from the left colliding with hers with a thwack. The small black kitten in the cage on the trolly hissed and clawed shake by the motions. Luckily only a few suitcases fell off the carts of hers and the person who hit her. A few people stopped to see what had happened, but again went back to their business. Moving from behind the trolly she picked up the fallen suitcase and placed it back with her things her long golden hair covering her eyes becoming slightly tangled. She brought up and hand and moved the thicket of blond from her face and looked forward. Before her dusting himself off was a boy a little taller then she was with long jet black hand that hung flat on his pale face. His almond shaped dark eyes looked up at her. Dressed in a black cloak he stood alone no family escorting him off from what it seemed. She felt sad for him if her conclusion was true but would not say anything out of politeness.
"Sorry, are you alright", Selena started quickly catching her breath in her dry throat. The young man looked to be her year, yet his eyes stayed fixed on her unusually. She bent down quickly her eyes not moving from him as she helped him put his bag back that was torn and obviously old. He seemed startled by her, which disturbed her to a small extent. He took in a breath and nodded finally deciding that she was not a threat to him as he originally suspected. Slowly his hand came from his side, slender fingers shaking.
"That's alright.....um...I'm Severus Snape", the words rolled off his tongue gently and quietly in a low whisper as if not wanting others to overhear. Taking his hand in hers she gave him a warm smile that awestruck him, his eyes showing the shy alarm.
"It's nice to meet you Severus, I'm Selena Wolfcastlin", she introduced warmly then dropped her hand to her side. Severus seemed to be waiting for her to recoil, but relaxed after a few minutes. He was obviously not used to kindness. The roaring whistle of the engine pierced the silence recalling her attention. Glancing sideward at her aunt and cousin she gave a small shrug her azure blue eyes falling back to Severus.
"Well Severus I hope we can be friends in the future...",she tilted her head to the side and smiled tenderly. His cheeks went a light pink and bowed his head nodding as they both walked to the train.
As people said goodbye to his folks she would have considered it if she thought her family held some endearment toward her, but none threw out her life was prevalent. Stepping into the compartments the crowd dizzied her senses as she bounded threw trying to find Severus again, yet she could not see him over the heads of her peers and the other year students. Finally breaking threw the crowd she opened a door of a close compartment and saw that it was already occupied. Sitting on the left and right sat four boys and a red headed girl. She pivoted on her heels ready to go, but glanced back then gathered up her courage and asked.
"Is there as seat here?" asking the girl whom had emerald green eyes. The girl was tall her auburn hair fell down the small of her back. She nodded warmly and motioned her to come in. The boys went about what they were doing. In the corner by the window seat sat a boy with light brown hair with specks of gray though he was her year. He was delved into a book keeping it close to the bridge of his nose. Next to him was a chubby blond haired boy with short fingers that moved nervously over his lap. One the left side sat the other two boys. Both had dark hair one with messy black hair the other with straight black hair cropped short. The boy with messy black hair and round glasses gave a small wave to her and moved his fingers threw his hair tossing his head some. The girl gave a pleasant smile and stood to introduce herself.
"My name is Lilly Evans", she said happily and smiled. Selena smiled at the girl having a good feeling about her. "I'm Selena Wolfcastlin.." she introduced finally glancing at the boy with short black hair who was watching her with intense interest. The boy with a round glasses smiled and moved his fingers threw his hair as he grimaced at Lilly. She rolled her eyes and got up and headed for the door.
"Don't let these guys get to you...too much..",she advised shooting a dirty look at the boy smiling at her as she stepped out. Selena was left with these four boys watching her that brought up many questions. Lilly had said something about these boys, she had seemed pretty friendly except to the boy with the glasses whom she kept shooting looks at. Finally it came to me when this boy stood up that he seemed to be the semi leader of this group.
"Hey there don't listen to Lilly she is like that", he started standing a little taller then Selena. She grimaced somewhat nervously shifting her glance boy to boy.
"I'm James Potter and this fine man sitting by me is Sirius Black and the quiet book worm is Remus Lupin and the chubby chug on his left is Peter Pettigrew...we are kinda a club of sorts", James exclaimed. Remus looked up and gave a small smile and nodded his head going back to studying. Peter fidgeted obviously nervous meeting people. Sirius on the other hand stood up next to James. He was a little taller then James with sleek black eyes and chocolate brown eyes. He extended his hand giving her a smile.
