Ch.3 The Train Ride
The train sped off and she was surrounded by people she would consider friends. She looked out the window taking in a breath. The fields and large span of trees dazzled her. Her breath was light as she felt the vibrations under her. Selena felt somewhat tired as she leaned back in her seat sitting between Peter and James. Suddenly her eyes fell on the open doorway and passing at that very moment was a familiar face. Her heart leapt in her throat beating faster. Before she could rise to her feet and greet him a voice cut off her thought, that voice coming from Sirius.
"Well well well if it isn't Snivellius", Sirius crooned callously making her wince. Turning her attention to Sirius her mouth open wide between shock and outrage at his rudeness. Severus made a face his face gaunt as usual his features moved in anger, eyes narrowing.
"Black..", Severus said dryly the woods harsh on his lips. Selena looked between them surprised that they know each other. Sirius reached for his new wand his eyes fixed on the boy in the doorway. No fear showed in Severus's face, as he looked back not flinching, his features still. Selena wanted to say something, but she could not form the words to speak.
"You have some nerve walking around in our presence, get lost", James chortled as he leaned back in his seat making Severus shift from foot to foot a little.
"Yeah..", Peter piped up in an attempt to help out in this argument. Selena looked at Remus whom seem to be paying not mind to all this as if he was not hearing it. She finally shot a disgusted look at Sirius and James and then looked at Severus apologetically. Severus glanced at her his features showing some sadness in them then changed to anger as he looked back at Sirius and James.
"What are you going to do Black sic you mommy on me", Severus shot back a smirk falling on his thin lips. For a second there Selena could have sworn that this took Sirius back some, but the composure came to his face as he opened his mouth to speak, but Lilly walked in making him close his mouth again. She looked over them and spoke not noticing or ignoring the tension of the room.
"You better get into your robes....c'mon Selena I want you to meet some people", she said in an excited tone of voice. With his Selena got to her feet and headed for the door looking back at the boys. Remus smiled warmly.
"Seeyah later Sele", He said as he waved then went back to his book. Sirius finding this amusing and liking the nickname smirked and winked at her making her cheeks became pink. James and Lilly exchanged a look that to Selena was unreadable. Peter was distracted trying to catch a chocolate frog that was hopping away, his chubby arms trying to throttle the piece of hopping sweet. She smiled walking out to the hall glancing at Severus who decided to leave also. Severus watched her a mixed expression between anger toward the boys and hurt that she would associate with them.
A few minutes later the train stopped the motion nearly throwing the first year students aback some. They were here and Selena was not sure the adventures to come.
