Chapter 2
I had finally made it up to the long table at the front of the room. I stood in front of the old man, took a bow, and waited for him to speak.
"Hello, welcome to Hogwarts, may I have your name please?"
"Sydney." I looked up at him.
"Do you have a last name, Sydney?"
"Longbotton."
All of a sudden the room burst out with whispers.
"Sydney? What are you doing here?"
I turned around as I saw my cousin, Neville, rushing down the aisle toward me.
"Hey cuz." I said not answering his question.
"Ah, you're Mr. Longbottom's Cousin, well we'll set you up a place to sleep. I trust you'll stay and eat with us."
"Um... actually sir I'm here looking for someone, Severus Snape?"
The room feel silent again. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a man with greasy black hair sit up straighter. So, that was Severus Snape.
"We can see to that later. Right now you should eat something, you've had a long journey." The man said with a twinkle in his eye.
