Train was going mile by mile and Cory was getting closer and closer to her new home. The two best friends sat talking and some times screaming, to each other about anything and everything. From guys to newest muggle movies, the girls couldn't stop talking. It was like they had been apart for ten years and not only ten days. As the train grew faster, so did the rate of the girls talking. Light outside the window was getting darker and darker and after about two hours of straight talking the two decided to change into their robes early so they could have more time to talk later.
Tom had given Cory and the others before they had left a package. Inside the package was a single black Hogwarts robe with the Hogwarts crest on the upper left hand corner of the robe. Once down the hall to the bathrooms where the girls could change, the two of them quickly got dressed. The Hogwarts Express had surprisingly nice bathrooms with floor length mirrors in them. Cory steped out of a stall and Lily looked at her nodding her head up and down. Cory turned and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked surprisingly good in her plan black robes. She couldn't believe she was wearing Hogwarts robes. The fact that this still wasn't a dream was a very hard concept still for Cory to grasp.
They left and started to make their way back to the compartment. They were just about there, when one compartment and the door fling open. A guy came sprawling out onto the floor in front of Cory, groaning/ screaming. Lily smashed into Cory's back and Cory gripped both the wall and window to keep from falling to the floor too. The both of them looked up to see who had caused this guy to come flailing out of this compartment.
One guy came out of the compartment next roaring with laughter. He had light brown hair and was pretty tall. But then again tallness was never one of Cory's strong points. Next was a guy with possibly some of the messiest black hair Cory had ever seen and glasses who was, at the current moment, in such a fit of laughter that it was probable he wasn't going to recover any time soon. On the other side of him was a girl with light brown hair and glasses that was crying she was laughing so hard. And in middle of all this stood a single person whose foot landed on the ground with a thud. It was to appear that this guy in the middle had kicked the guy on the floor out of the compartment. The middle guy stood at a high height and had shoulder length jet-black hair (if you really wish to see what his hair looks like then see 10 things I hate about you and look at heath ledgers hair!) and from under his hair shown two even deeper black eyes. He seemed very proud of himself and chuckling at his own actions. Then to Cory's non-surprise Lily stepped in.
"OMG! You four need to grow up!" You shot to look at Lily. She really needed to calm down and not be such a disciplinarian all of the time. But still Cory just sighed and let her yell a little. But really Lily needed to show her fun side more often then she did.
"Evans!" The black haired boy with glasses said and stopped laughing immediately. Also Cory noticed, he ruffed his hair. What was that about? Cory thought.
"James stop it and act your age!" she yelled at this poor guy whose name Cory learned was James. Wait! Cory thought, Was this the guy Lily had said she was secretly in love with? No, then why was she yelling at him and being so mean to him?
"Jeez Evans take a breath we were just having some fun! You know, 'ha ha'?" the girl said. Cory finally took her head out of her thoughts and looked at the group. But then she felt like someone was looking at her. And sure enough she looked up and the kicker was starring directly down at her.
For the first time she really looked at him intently. All of a sudden she felt like she was being drained of her strength. His eyes captivated her and she felt like she was being filled with an unexplainable high. His body she could tell just by looking at him, was absolutely flawless and Cory felt like if she died right that very second her life would have been worth it because she would have seen such beauty. But her thoughts were interrupted when she felt another stare. She looked to her right and there was another guy.
This guy wasn't remotely as attractive as the other guy she had been looking at was. This guy was the one who had been kicked out of the compartment. He wasn't as tall as the others and he was currently looking at Cory's chest and navel ring as if she wasn't noticing and wasn't caring. She looked at him and could feel herself getting really mad.
He smiled the most revolting and greasy smile she'd ever seen and said, "Hello. I'm Sevrus Snape. Are you new here? Well you must be because I've never seen you before and I know everyone." Is he kidding? That was the best flirting he could do? Wow that was sad,Cory thought. He returned his gaze to her body and that was when she had had enough.
"All right there is one kind of person I really can't stand in the world, and that's not counting purists, it's the people who look at my body when I don't even know them. Okay? So here's what your going to do, asshole. First take your eyes off my chest and abdomen. Second don't you ever try to pick me up again by acting like a pretty boy, which I can assure you of the fact that you are not even remotely attractive." Now some girls might have stopped here, but Cordelia Ash was not like most girls. When some girls cried, she got angry or laughed. When some girls would have gone to a teacher to tattle, Cory got even with that person and good. So that was why she just kept going at Snape. "Now your going to get the fuck out of me and my best friend's way or I will permanently hurt you."
Snape's face went completely white with fear Cory was almost tempted to laugh, but that would ruin the whole tough-girl thing she had going. Also how else was she going to get him to stop looking at her chest? The two girls started to walk past. The girl and the boy called James start laughing, while the other two guys starred in shock. They moved about three feet when Cory stopped and turned back to Snape. She said, "Oh and if you even think I didn't feel your eyes start to slide down to my butt, then you've got more problems then I thought. You keep your eyes off, or I swear on Lily's life," She said threateningly to Snape and leaned over to him then continued, "I will hex your fucking balls off with out a second thought. You got me, jackass? Good."
Lily eyes were wide and she let out a snort of laughter. Cory grabbed her and the two best friends ran down the hallway together towards their compartment, their laughter ringing through the corridor behind them.
