Chapter 2: The Houses: Part 1

"I'm Vanessa Bradley by the way"

"Lily Evans, So are you a first year too?" Lily asked nervously.

"Yep, what house do you want to be in?" Vanessa asked this while taking out her chocolate frog collection.

Lily looked at the cards in interest. "Umm, I don't know? What are those?"

Vanessa looked at lily then a sense of realization came to her face. "Oh I am so sorry you must be a muggle born!"

"A what born?" lily asked with confusion.

"Muggle it's what we call non-wizards and seeing as you come from both non-wizarding parents, right? So you know nothing of the wizarding world. Nothing of Quidditch, chocolate frogs, or the four Houses. Ok so let's see there are four houses at Hogwarts and well I don't know how to explain them. But there's Ravenclaw for the smart people, Hufflepuff for the Loyal, Gryffindor for the brave, and Slytherin for the cunning or evil either way. Well no one knows until they get there though."

Vanessa was obviously not nervous though.

"Of Course I won't be in Slytherin" she said as an after thought.

"How do you know?" asked lily

"Oh because my families all blood traitors, we get along great with the Weasleys though." She said nothing more of this and started taking about Quidditch and a new wizarding band called the Weird Sisters. The more Vanessa talked the more Lily liked her.

"I'm all for England winning the cup next year." Just as Vanessa said this four boys came crashing in.

"See I told you there was a Weasley in this cart.' Said the boy with shoulder length Black hair.

Lily and Vanessa exchanged a look of confusion.

"What are you---?''

"Your right the red hair is a dead giveaway. So I owe you five galleons right?" as he said this the boy kept running his hand over his hair.

At this Vanessa freaked she yelled "Wait a minute Number one who the heck are you? Number two Lily is not a Weasley and Number three why on earth would you bet on someone?"

"Cool it girly, she isn't? Well ha then you owe me five galleons Sirius!"

"Umm Excuse me but we still don't know who you are. I'm Lily Evans and my friend is Vanessa Bradley. We are first years by the way." Lily said.

"Oh I 'm James Potter and this is Sirius Black and that's umm Lupin Remus, Remus Lupin and the short one is Peter Pettie? No Petagrim? No Pettigrew! Yea that's it Peter Pettigrew. We are also first years by the way, so no harm done."

"NO HARM DONE! YOU JUST BET ON MY FRIEND!" Vanessa screamed.

"Yeah well we got to go here lunches on me." James said as he gave the girls a couple of coins and one of his dazzling smiles.

"My God my mom is going to kill me thirty minutes on the train and I'm all ready flirting with guys!" Vanessa exclaimed.

Lily looked at her and they busted out laughing. Yes it looked like Vanessa Bradley and Lily Evans were going to be good friends.

Latter that evening...

"Can you believe the Giant Squid pulled us in?" Sirius asked

"Yeah we must be the luckiest guys in the world!" James exclaimed

"What Freaks I hope we're not in the same house as them." Whispered Vanessa

"We are ready for you" said a stern looking professor named McGonagall. McGonagall lead them into the Great Hall were they could see the night sky above them and all the students in their proper seats. At the head table sat the Professors. In front of the Head table you could see a battered old hat. It opened its brim and ………………… to be continued.
