Chapter 2
"We meet again, Snape…"
A/N: The second chapter! Woo-hoo! *blows into noisemaker* Anybob, thanks to sally the rag doll for reviewing! Yeah, you're right, I am going to update this constantly, no matter how little reviews I get…want to know why? Because after I do this, I need to type up Snape the Ballet Dancer (which will be a hit, I'm sure *grins*) THEN finish Smith 3000, then Confessions of a Death Eater, then the sequel, Dan and Snape Strike Back, so I should be able to finish by January 2004. Really. I'm not joking. Also, I don't own the little bit from Max Keeble's Big Move, if you can spot it.
Anyways, read, review, and enjoy!
"We meet again, Snape," grinned the obnoxious eleven year old Severus had been forced to know since he was in diapers.
"So," said Severus, glancing around the compartment. "Who are these simpletons?"
"This is Peter Pettigrew," Sirius pointed to a short, plump boy who smiled weakly and waved. "Remus Lupin," He pointed to a tall-ish intelligent looking boy with brown shaggy hair and nodded his head in form of greeting. "And James Potter." Sirius pointed to a boy with large oval glasses, brown eyes, and jet black, extremely messy hair. "Dude!" shouted James Potter, and smiled and gave a peace sign. Severus rolled his eyes.
"What a bunch of lame friends you have, Black," he sneered. "Well, I'll be going now." And he left.
Whilst searching for another compartment, a boy with auburn hair came up to him.
"Hi," said the boy. "You can't find a compartment either? Same deal with me…want to look for one together? Oh, yes," the boy extended his hand. "I'm Dan Caldwell. What's your name?"
"Severus Snape," said Severus, and shook Dan's hand quickly. "Listen, I can't be bothered with Gryffindors like yourself, I must be going…"
"What are you talking about? I'm going to be a Slytherin," said Dan coldly.
"Right," Snape said sarcastically. "And I'm the Minister of Magic. Goodbye, Freckle Face…" Severus walked on when Dan caught him by the neck of his shirt.
"I'm serious," said Dan.
"No you're not," said Severus. "You're Dan!"
"Huh? Oh never mind…just help me find a compartment!"
And so whilst Mr. Caldwell dragged poor Severus around the train and back again, he thought about how his life at Hogwarts would be.
The way things going so far, the prospect didn't seem so good.

"Firs' years? Any more firs' years? Come on, we don't have all day!" shouted an exceptionally large man with a rather shaggy beard.
Severus stomped out of the train, followed by Dan and his moronic friends, Dave, Bill, Bob, and a strange disturbed boy they all called Esquire. Severus was confused by this, but went along with it anyway.
"C'mon, Esquire," grunted Bill, who was trying to pull Esquire off the train.
"I DON'T WANNA GO, I DON'T WANNA GO!" shouted Esquire, holding onto the train for dear life.
"Aw, snap out of it, you big crybaby!" hollered Bob, and slapped Esquire, who went plummeting to the ground. Severus chuckled in his thoughts.
"FIRS' YEARS!" bellowed the huge man. The earth seemed to shake when he screamed. Severus ditched his…*ahem* friends and went up to the gigantic man.
"Excuse me," said Severus. "But who are you?"
"Hagrid," said the man cordially. "Now get yer friends and follow me."
Severus hauled his buddies to Hagrid and they set off.
"Into the boats, come on!" yelled Hagrid. "They don't pay me by the hour! They barely pay me at all!"
Severus raised an eyebrow and got into a boat.
What a strange man this Hagrid is, he thought.
"No more'n four to a boat!" roared Hagrid. "Or else you'll be tumblin' into the lake and eaten by the giant squid!"
Everyone gasped at this. Dan, Bill, and Dave climbed into Severus' boat. Poor Bob was stuck with Esquire.
"I DON'T WANNA!" screamed Esquire at the top of his lungs. Bob just sighed.
When they got to around the corner, Severus gasped in surprise. In front of them was the biggest, most beautiful lake he had ever seen.
"Radical," said Dave, who was suddenly wearing dark circle sunglasses and making a peace sign.
Severus sighed and put his elbow on the side of the boat, his hand on his forehead.
I think I'm going to die, he thought.
"DUDE!" shouted Bill, poking Severus. He twitched.
"What?" asked Sev.
Bill persisted to poke him.
"I said, WHAT?" repeated Severus.
The poking continued.
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!" screamed Severus.
"We're going in!" Bill squeaked, and stopped poking him.
Severus slapped his forehead. "Baka*!" he exclaimed. Dave continued to make the peace sign. He looked strangely like a hippie.
He hadn't been around here too long, but Severus could already tell this was going to be a looooooooong year…
*-You idiot!
