I walk with the boys to the boats.
"Four 'ter a boat!" Hagrid yells. (A/N what do you think of the accent? I think I'm terrible at accents. Feel free to tell me so.) We glance at the five of us.
"So who's going to go?" James asks. No on says a thing. I sigh.
"I'll go." I state walking to a group of two. A girl with fiery red hair and green eyes and a boy with greasy black hair and coal black eyes. "Do you guys mind if I ride with you?"
"Weren't you just hanging out with those idiots?" The greasy haired kid asks harshly. I blink in confusion.
"Yessed. Is there something wrong with that?" I ask my eyebrows furrowing in confusion.
"Not if your like them." He states.
"Good thing I'm not them..." I state slowly. I shake my head getting rid of my confusion. "Hi!" I say brightly. "My name is Susan." I hold out my hand to them. The redhead looks wary.
"My name is Lily. This is Severus."
"Nice to meet you." I state smiling at the both of them. We get in the boat. "Did you know that the Giant Squid was originally put in the lake to stop people from drowning." Severus makes a noise from his throat that sounded a lot like a snort. "Can I ask what has gotten you to hate me when all you know about me is I hang with those 'idiots' as you so nicely put them and my name?" I ask. Severus blinks. "Like seriously. You don't even know my middle or last name. If you knew my middle name I would seriously not like me either ,but you don't know my middle name." I rant.
"I don't hate you specifically. I hate those idiots you hang with."
"Oh. Well then. Let's start over? Because I don't want enemies on my first day. Well technically we would be aquantemines..." I trail off trying to put together the two words. "Yeah I just stick with aquantemines..." Two chuckles bring me out of my thoughts. Severus was laughing at me. "Its not funny!" I cry indignantly. I cross my arms and pout like the kid I am.
"I'm sorry. Yes. We can start over. My name is Severus Snape." I smile brightly.
"Susan Lancaster." Severus's eyes widen. "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My last name is related to the Caster tree blah blah blah." I wave it off. "But right now I am just Susan understood?" They nod their heads slowly. "Good." Silence. When a splash makes us look over. Sirius as pushed into the water. James soon following. I snicker along with Severus and Lily. "You okay Siwi?" I ask in a fake baby voice.
"Ha. Ha." Sirius says rolling his eyes before squealing as the squid sets him back on the boat. I laugh leaning back and forth trying to hold in my laughing making the boat rock. I stop laughing noticing Lily clutch Severus's hand all the while Severus had a pleased look on his face and how he blushes slightly. He blushes harder when he sees me watching. I wink and grin in response. Then we continue asking each other questions and answering them.
We were waiting for McGonagol to come back. Lily looked almost sick.
"I am so nervous that the hat is going to tell me that I'm not a witch." She whispers to me when I ask her if she's alright.
"If you got the letter you ARE a witch. Don't worry. Your name wouldn't have been down if you weren't one." She then grins at me. I grin back. I loop arms with Lily leaving Lily to loop arms with Severus. The four boys that I left earlier were joking around and talking to each other. Professor McGonagol came back.
"We are ready for you now." Then the doors are thrown open and we follow her inside. We gather in a slight oval/circle in the front. "Now when I call your name you will sit on the stool and I will put the hat on your head. The hat will then decide which house you will be placed in. Adrian Carmichael!" A boy with messy blonde hair that was sticking out and that reminded me a lot of Einstein. When he sat on the stool, the hat was placed on his head.
The hat was muttering on top of his head. I caught a few of the words such as 'Kind... Loyal to an extent...' after a few minutes the hat yelled "Hufflepuff!" making a few first years (including me) jump slightly.
"Bertram Aubrey!" A boy walks up and sits on the stool.
"Ravenclaw!" The hat shouts.
"Avery Lance."
"Slytherine." Avery smirks and walks to the clapping wildly Slytherine table.
"Sirius Black!" Sirius walks confidently to the stool and the hat as placed on his head,
20 minutes we waited. Sirius kept muttering to the hat probably arguing with it.
"Gryffindor!" The hat shouts finally. Almost everybody jumps. More people are sorted before,
"Lily Evans!" Lily walks to the stool nervously.
"Gryffindor!" The hat shouts four minutes later. I shifted to another foot because my right leg started hurting. I glance at Severus who looked disappointed.
"Hey its alright. She'll still be her friend." I whisper to him. He smiles smally at me and I smile brightly back.
"Susan Lancaster!" I take a deep breath before stepping forward. People's jaws were dropped and their eyes were wide. The muggle-borns looks confused by the amazement from everyone.
"Kind. A bit of ambition. Very hardworking to get what you want. Studious. A pinch of stubbornness... Can't forget the overwhelming bit of bravery and chivalry. What's this? A need to fix other people's mistakes... Selfless." I scoff as he seems to mull it over.
"I'm not selfless." I mutter. " If anything I'm as selfish as Voldemort one way or another."
"Modest too. But a bit angry with your father for abandoning you. A darkness could envelope you if your in Slytherine. Never mind that. You would do well in Slytherine. But not make any friends. The same could be said of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. You'd make a couple of friends from Gryffindor. But you're more of a loner are you not? Socially Anorexic. You wash yourself of Social activity. Yes I think you'd do best in..." He pauses. "Gryffindor!" I blink before realizing the hat was removed. I walk to the Gryffindor table and sit next to Sirius with Lily across from me. I start to dwell on what the hat said zoning out.
A/N okay. To Vewwy confuzzed Reader- I hadn't realized the main character was using British Terms ,but to view it as a good thing you could view it as she is trying to get used to the Britich life-style.
To Reader- Huh? I'm sorry I didn't even realize what I did. I don't think YOU understand that I never wrote the base to this story. It is all written by Looney Loopy Charny as I said in Chapter 1. Thanks for your opinion though its really apreciated.
