Lily found herself staring in awe at the big, red, Hogwarts Express that was about to take her to her new school. The train looked nothing, at all, like the old carriages that they used to fly in to get to Beauxbatons. Compared to that, this was like an elephant compared to a little mouse.
Just as Lily was about to get onto the train, she was shoved over by a tall boy with dark, greasy long black hair, wearing black uniform robes and a green tie.
"Watch where you're going, filthy little mudblood" he sneered at her. She just looked at the new boy with hatred, but also shock. No one at Beauxbatons would ever dare utter the word mudblood at someone else, for it was a disgrace, and could get them kicked out. Of course, this didn't stop Lily from knowing what the word meant, which cause anger to bubble into her.
"Excuse me?" She cried, "I don't believe that you could utter such a horrible word to another human being, and treat them with such little disrespect! It's like looking upon a toddler and calling them a failure!"
But the boy just looked at her and started to cackle. And not the cackle that just meant the person had an odd laugh, the cackle that showed the true characteristics of the person doing it. "Aww, is the poor mudblood feeling pity for herself? How sad. I thought that I could appreciate someone like you. Oh well, I was mistaken-" But before the boy could finish his sentence, a red light crashed into him, causing him to fall over his luggage.
"Keep speaking, Snape, and you'll cause a record of points being taken away the first day of term" said a tall, sandy-brown haired boy who, from the looks of it, had sent the spell to hit him.
Snape just glared at the boy, but nonetheless, walked away from Lily, causing her much relief.
"I don't think I've ever seen you before" said the boy who had shot the spell at Snape, "And I know most people from my year. Are you new?"
"Yeah, I transferred from Beauxbatons for my sixth year. Lily Evans," she said, and stuck out her hand for him to shake.
"Remus Lupin" he said with a smile, "You'll want to get onto the train soon, it's about to leave. By the way, it was nice meeting you, hope to see you sorted into Gryffindor." And with that, he walked towards the train, but stopped before getting on, and grinned at her, then disappeared.
Hello! Hope you all enjoyed chapter 1! Remember, please review, because I want constructive criticism on how I can improve, plus I want to see what you all want for upcoming chapters. I hope this was better than the epilogue, but it's not very long. I know I promised that Lily would meet Alice in this chapter, but I liked how this chapter ended. Let me know what you think!
