Chapter two- The train ride
Lily walked down the corridor and went into a compartment; sounds of laughter could be heard through different compartments. In less than five minutes, the compartment door slid open and a boy, about her age strolled in the room. He had straight blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Hmmm, we've got company here don't we? I'm Lucius Malfoy.. You must be a mudblood"said Lucius
"Um, how did you know?" asked Lily looking puzzled.
"Get out of here Malfoy,"said a voice. A girl appeared at the corridor. Her black hair was tied in an untidy ponytail, a few strands of hair rising and her dark brown eyes were flashing dangerously.
"You got yourself a bodyguard eh?" said Malfoy.
"Go away" she said as she slammed the door shut.
"Can I sit here?" she asked nervously looking worried that she made a fool out of herself.
"Yes"-said Lily smiling. The girl thanked her before hurriedly sitting down. For half an hour the girl sat down reading a magazine. After she had finished it, she stared straight into Lily's green eyes thoughtfully.
"I'm Bernice," she said abruptly.
"Lily, Lily Evans" said Lily. The door slid open again and this time, a girl with long brown hair in a plait and blue eyes stepped in.
"Um, taken? Can I sit here?" the girl asked.
"Sure" replied Bernice talking while eating a cauldron cake.
"What's your name?" Bernice asked.
"Skyle" she replied. Lily sat up straight staring at a book called Hogwarts- A History.
"Do you want some cauldron cakes?" Bernice asked.
"Okay, thanks," said Lily and Skyle in Unison. Bernice passed them some before turning her head down and stuffed her face in a magazine called Keltric.
"Oh, and by the way my name is Lily and this is Bernice," said Lily to Skyle who nodded silently.
Half and hour had passed. Lily and Skyle stared at Bernice in interest. Bernice was shivering and vibrating and her seat. She looked around nervously, her eyes were prowling around.
"Bernice, are you alright? "Asked Lily. Bernice looked up.
"Oh, sorry. I'm just a bit nervous that's all. My sister promised me that she would help but obviously didn't keep her promise," muttered Bernice. Her dark brown eyes were shivering. She stared out of the window.
"YIPEE! GO YOU JAMES!"Yelled a joyful voice. This took quite a sudden movement to Lily, Skyle and Bernice. Skyle jerked her head sideward, Lily looked up from her book stunned and Bernice jumped at least one foot.
"Who or what was that?" hissed Lily to Skyle and Bernice. Bernice got up and stood at the door.
"That would be Black, Potter, Lupin
and Pettigrew. Or otherwise known as Sirius, James, Remus and Peter.
I heard that their trouble makers" said Bernice.
Lily scrunched
her face up and said, "That sure looks like a bad lot"
The door slide opened and a girl stood there. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes, behind to her a boy in his fifth year stood there.
"Is it alright if Emily could sit here? "The boy asked. All of a sudden Lily, Skyle and Bernice stood up at the same time.
"Lily Evans, Skyle Hill and Bernice Simpson " said Skyle.
"Okay.Thanks"he said.
"Now Emily I shall go, my I have prefect duty "he muttered. Emily walked in, she sat herself on a seat.
"She seems really unfriendly "muttered Bernice to Lily.
"Bernice! When I met you, you didn't talk until half an hour," hissed Lily. Bernice shook her head angrily and shot Emily a sly look.
"Excuse me, sorry. I'm Emily," said the girl. Lily greeted her, Skyle grinned while Bernice rolled her eyes.
1 hour later
Bernice still couldn't accept Emily as Emily was ignoring her.
"What house do you want to be in?" asked Lily.
"Griffindor" replied Emily.
"Griffindor" replied Skyle too.
"Yes, Griffindor sounds like a great house to be in…what about you Bernice?" asked Lily. Bernice had stubbornly stuffed her head in a magazine.
"Bernice, talk. Stop being so unsociable" said Lily.
Bernice put the magazine down and smiled. She cleared her throat and said" As for me, I would really want to be in Ravenclaw. My older sister is in it too, Ravenclaws are smart that's why I want to be in it". Lily, Emily and Skyle nodded.
"Good, well then you wouldn't be with us Bernice," said Lily.
"Friends…I will make new ones I guess, "said Bernice.
"Bernice! "Said Skyle. Bernice laughed hysterically.
"I was only joking! But it is true
about the Ravenclaw bit" said Bernice.
"Bernice, where are you
going?" asked Lily.
"Oh, I'll be back soon,. I'm just going to see my fiend "she said as she walked out.
"Chocolate? Do you want some? "Offered Emily showing Skyle and Lily chocolate in shape of a frog. Lily took some.
"For some reason, I think there's a food dieses spreading rapidly," said Skyle.
"Hmm, you have a point" said Lily.
"As always" said Skyle.
"Skyle, you're sounding so much like my sister it's scaring me "said Bernice appearing at the door. Skyle twitched.
"What! You gave me a fright!" said Skyle. There was a long awkward silence, followed by a snort of laughter from another room. The time flew really fast, before they knew it, they were in Hogsmeade Train station.
"We're there already!" exclaimed Lily. They others nodded trying to keep their faces straight. They got out of the train and followed a professor Lily, Skyle and Emily got on the same boat while Bernice got onto another boat.
Soon they reached a old castle, the windows were filled with light shining warmly.
"WOW! "Exclaimed Lily. They got out of the boats. Lily walked towards a big wooden door waiting for the others to get there.
"Make way "said a voice as the line fell apart for the professor. She took out an odd shaped key and opened the doors. There was a long, narrow wooden corridor. Lily and the others walked through it before walking up a marble staircase
"My neighbour told me about Hogwarts and the description but this is better" said a boy's voice. She turned around to see a boy, he had jet-black hair and blue eyes (A/N. I'm not really sure what colour eyes they are. Please tell me them if you know). He glanced at Lily and smiled, Lily gave him a patronising look. He stepped forward and put out his hand.
"James Potter" he said. Emily jumped out of nowhere and hauled Lily to the ground.
"What did you do that for?" asked Lily angrily.
"I was trying to save you from Potter" Emily spat, as she looked hurt, walking out of the crowd to the back.
"I'm sorry Emily, really!" called Lily hurrying, to Emily.
"Cut that out Evans and Anderson. Professor Mcgonagall will be with you shortly" said the professor. Students clicked their fingers impatiently, while Lily produced a book out of her pocket.
"WOW! How did you do that!" asked a nervous girl.
"Oh, what I just did? It's the minimizing spell," said Lily. A lady appeared wearing a pair of green robes, and a pointy hat. Her brown hair was tide up in a tight knot and her blue eyes looked at Lily. Lily noticed her gaze, then turned around looking slightly embarrassed
"Now, before you go to the sorting ceremony I have some things to say. In Hogwarts, you will be sorted in one of the four houses. They are Gryfindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin," said Professor Mcgonagall as she pursed her lips on the last house.
"I heard that all the dark wizards go there "whispered someone.
Professor Mcgonagall chose to ignore that statement and continued, "They will be like your home. They is also a house cup, you will gain points if you answer a question right or something good, and you will lose points if you do something against the school rules. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will win the house cup. Now please follow me into the hall".
They followed the professor as she opened the doors. In the hall, there were four long rows of tables and one at the front. Candles leviated in the air while the ceiling was like the sky.
"Look at those," pointed a boy at the candles with a pudgy finger.
"What's so fascinating, their only candles" said a girl.
"Shut up, Erica. You're putting us all of" said another boy. The girl stubbornly crossed her hands and walked down to the front.
There an n old man sat down in his chair, a white long beard hung low.
He was Professor Dumbeldore, The head master…
