DISCLAIMER: This is based on JK Rowling's brillaint series, Harry Potter, and I don't own it...
Lily Evans shook her red hair out of her bright green eyes as she wondered down a train car looking for an empty compartment. She was beginning her sixth year at Hogwarts and was currently in a very non-people mood. She found an empty compartment at the back of the train, sitting down she stared out the window passively. A boy with greasy hair and a hooked nose, she thought he looked like he was in Slytherin, but wasn't too sure. He sat down opening some book that looked like it was dedicated to teaching the dark arts.
Lily asked him who he was just as a boy with messy black hair, glasses, and hazel eyes opened the door, she knew he was James Potter.
James answered for the boy: "That's Snivellus"
Snivellus: "Severus Snape"
Lily saw the loathing looks both of them gave each other and tried to change the subject.
Lily: "Unusual to see you alone, James, where's Sirius, Remus and that fat little kid who follows you?'
James smirked: "You mean Peter? Remus is getting his prefect instructions, and Sirius and Peter are having a fight about something... So I left and went to find someone more interesting to talk to"
Lily: "meaning me or him?"
She thought that she caught a slight upturn in his lips and a faint pink tinge to his face.
James shrugged: "He certainly isn't that interesting, unless you like hearing about the dark arts he knows... So, mind if I join you?"
Lily: "Go ahead"
James sat down next to Lily, his dark hair falling into his eyes and a faint smile on his lips again.
Lily: "had a good summer, Snape?"
Snape glanced up from his book long enough to glare at her and then went back to it.
James: "Lily asked you something, Snivellus"
Lily suddenly realized they'd never been introduced, imagine, the great James Potter knowing her name...
James drew out his wand and pointed it threateningly at Snape.
James: "One last chance, answer her..."
Snape continued trying to ignore him, but he looked more and more like he'd love to be able to vanish into the seat.
James: "Accio book!"
Snape tried to hold onto it, but it was no use, the book flew into James's hands. James looked like he was about to say something else, but Sirius, Remus and Peter walked in and Snape ran out.
James called after him: "You forgot your book!"
Sirius sat down in Peter's spot across from James, Remus sat next to him and Peter on the other side of James.
Sirius: "Hey Prongs, what's Snivellus reading now?"
James threw the book to him.
James: "Something about the dark arts, he really needs one on personal hygiene... do you know a way to enchant books to say something else, Moony? Maybe we'll be able to make him about it..."
Sirius turned to Lily: "Pardon us, beautiful maiden, we are just coarse boys, butting in on your chat with old Prongs, here"
Lily wondered whether to laugh or not, but was saved from having to reply by the arrival of the food cart. The boys all jumped up and bought a large assortment of sweets. Lily remained seated, having her own sandwiches and not being particularly hungry.
James: "Lily, want something?" Sirius sniggered, Lily wondered what was so funny.
Lily: "I'm fine, thanks"
Sirius: "Evans, James wants to be a gentleman, or at least try to, and buy you something, or at least, that's what he thinks, he may just be wanted someone else's food to take."
James had picked up the book Snape was reading and threw it at Sirius, hitting him in the back. Sirius drew out his wand and enchanted the book to hit James over the head repeatedly.
Lily laughed, and pulling out her own wand she forced the now battered book onto the seat where it started folding its pages in paper cranes.
Peter had been staring open mouthed at them the whole time, but now for the first time spoke in an anxious voice: "You're hurting a book..."
Everyone fell into renewed laughter.
Remus: "This book here, that's the best thing you can do with it, unless you turn it into a personal hygiene book and get Snivellus to read it."
Lily laughed along with the others, but was beginning to wonder what they had against this Severus Snape..
