A/N: Wow, it's been awhile. But hey, what can I say? I have school and THAT
is a MAJOR time consumer. Anyway...for disclaimer see chapter one.
*Chapter 4...Enter Snivellus*
That night before dinner Sirius headed back to the common room to figurew out how he was to go about solving his little 'mystery'. When he arrived at his dettination, his solution was sitting in front of the fire doing homework.
'Oh Lileeeeeeeee!!!!' he sang out loudly, catching, not only his red-headed friend's attention, but everyone else's attention as well.
'Yes Sirius? What do you want? If its to copy my homework I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Jordan, James, Peter, Alice and Frank. Sod off.'
'Oh no, nothing like that. I was just going to ask youa couple of questions. Well, one actually.'
'Oh. Well then, spit it out.'
'Are you, or are you not friends with the lovely Miss Savard?'
'That I am. Why may I ask, would you like to know?'
'Well she seems like a nice girl. You can never have too many friends you know.'
'Oh. Well....if you want you James and Remus can join Jordan, Stacy and I for dinner.'
'We'd be DELIGHTED!'
'OK. See you then.
'Buh-bye Lils.'
~*~Dinner~*~
The three boys made their way into the Great Hall early. Partly to shake off that fat kid from their dorm who follows them everywhere, but mainly to get good seat for the ladies. Tehy were waiting for about five minutes or so when Lily, Jordan, and another girl, who Sirius assumed to be Stacy.
They made their way over to the seats the boys had saved them, said hello, and shortly after, the food appeared.
'Who's this?' Remus inquired of Lily, reffering to the unfamiliar face.
'Oh. Sorry Remus. This is Stacy Wood.' was Lily's reply.
'Pleased to meet you Stacy.' Remussaid politely, with a hint of shyness.
'Likewise' said Stacy, with a slight tint creeping into her cheeks.
'Wow, she's awefully skinny!' James whispered to Sirius. Unfortunately, Lily heard this.
'Look who's talking!' she snapped.
'Well Lils, you can't deny the truth. She's a stick!' Sirius piped up, defending his friend.
'Whatever. Just don't say anything to her. She's a little touchy about it. No matter how hard she tries, she just can't gain weight.' Lily whispered as she to join int on the conversation between the others' conversation.
A few moments later a boy with greasy, black hair approached the group. Sirius and James had known this boy for a long time. Thier fathers worked together. To put it nicely, they despised each other.
He stopped behind Lily and introduced himself to her.
'Hello. My name's Severus. What's yours?'
'Did you just tell her your name is Snivellus???' Sirius said just before bursting into a fit of giggles.
To Sirius' delight, Jordan burst into giggles as well. Lily elbowed her, and she settled down a bit, but was shaking with the effort to keep calm.
'Very clever Black. You've finally obtained the intellectual capacity to come up with a name that acctually makes people laugh. Though I must say, as beautiful as Miss Savard is, she has horrible taste in friends.' Snape said through gritted teeth. 'Cissa is an acception.'
Sirius turned to Jordan. 'You're friends with Cissa???'
'Well yeah...I was kinda shocked when she was put in Slytherin. But then again she's SO determined to please her family.'
'Anyway...' Snape said loudly, turning back to Lily. 'I still haven't heard your name.'
'My name is Lily. Lily Evans.'
'Evans?' a sour face crossed Snape's face as he said this. 'I'm not familliar with that name. You must be a mudblood.' he said with a sneer, his voive dripping with disgust.
Sirius and James stopped laughin at the sound of the word 'mudblood' and glared at Snape. Jordan, who had also stopped laughing, jumped up from her seat and slapped Snape clean across the face. Sirius jumped across the table to restrain her from doing it again, while James, Remus and Stacy withdrew their wands.
'DON'T YOU EVER CALL HER THAT AGAIN!!! SHE'S TEN TIMES SMARTER AND MORE POWERFULL THAN YOU'LL EVER EVEN DREAM OF BEING!!!' Jordan screamed.
She struggled against Sirius' grip, trying to slap him again.
'It's not worth it. You'll be in the shower fro DAYS trying to get the grease off of yourself.'
Jordan turned pink when she realised Sirius was holding her so close to him, but giggled at his joke.
Snape glared at Sirius, turned on his heel and stalked off to the Slytherin table.
'Guys,' said Lily quietly. They all turned to face her. 'what's a mudblood?'
They all looked at each other uncomfortably for a moment until Jordan decied she should speak up and tell her friend the meaning behind what she had just been called.
'Well Lils, it means dirty blood. Mudblood's a really foul name for someone who is muggle-born, someone with non-magic parents. It's not a term one usually hears in civilised conversation.'
'It's disgusting.' Sirius said shaking his head.
'It's bullshit. We've had less than a week of school and you've already proven to be smarter than tho whole Slytherin house combined.' James said, still glaring at Snivellus across the Great Hall.
'It doesn't sound that bad to me.' Lily said non-chalantly 'I think being able to do magic when the rest of your family can't is quite an accomplishment. Though I must admit I am hurt by the implementation of it.'
'Lils, my brother Henry's in his fourth year. He could hex him good if you like.' Stacy piped up.
'No. I don't want anybody to do anything. It will hurt me more if you go against my wishes than it did that he acted so savagely because of my family.'
James however, wasn't listening because, as Lily was saying this he had his wand aimed at Snivellus and was muttering under his breath. All of a sudden Snivellus' hair was gold, his skin scarlet, and his robes were golod with a red lion killing a green snake. The words 'Gryffindor KILLS Slytherin!' were flashing across the hems.
The whole Great Hall errupted with laughter. Lily, however, was not amused.
'I said I was fine James. I can't believe you did that right after I asked you not to.'
'Well Lily~flower, you looked hurt, and I didn't hear you ask us not to do anything to him.'
'Well maybe you should mind your own business!!!'
'FINE! Next time I'll just sit here and wtch him make fun of you. Maybe I'll join in. Is that what you want??? He could hex you and hurt or possibly even KILL you flower! I don't want that to happen to you.'
'...'
'IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT FLOWER???
Lil didn't say anything. She just burst into tears and ran from the Great Hall. Jordan shot James a pleading look and ran out after her.
