Chapter 7: Chapter Six - Adelaida
Professor McGonagall started calling us one by one.
Severus took a while, but he was in Slytherin.
Narcissa, as I expected in Slytherin.
Alice in Gryffindor.
James, I think it's obvious where he went.
Peter took a while, but in the end, he was put in Gryffindor.
When it was Sirius's turn, everyone was surprised that he was in Gryffindor and not Slytherin like all the Blacks.
Remus to Gryffindor, all the Marauders are together, it was obvious.
Lucius Malfoy also appeared, and before the hat touched his head, he shouted Slytherin.
Frank Longbottom was in Gryffindor.
Marlene Mackenna was also selected for Gryffindor.
- "Evans, Lily," - Shouted the professor.
I started walking with my head held high until I reached the stage and sat down on the wooden chair, Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat on my head.
Hat: Mmm, so Lily, or should I say, Rory?
'Shit! Sorry, I got scared and Lily's fine' - Hearing the hat's voice, I almost jumped.
Hat: So far as I can see you're not Lily, well not quite.
'No, well yes I am'
Hat: Shocker, I've never seen anything like it before.
'Would you mind not saying anything to the headmaster or anyone in general?'
Hat: Of course, we wouldn't want him to ruin your plans.
'I'd rather not, it would be annoying to deal with him'.
Hat: It's quite understandable, the headmaster tends to mess with things he shouldn't.
'May I ask what sort of things?'
Hat: Once the headmaster asked a teacher to tell a student about some magic
'What kind of magic?'
Hat: I think I should choose your house now.
'Are you ignoring me?'
The hat just kept ignoring me.
Hat: Mmm let's see cunning, determination, and ambition you would make a fine Slytherin, but you are also brave and bold, from what I see you are capable of breaking the rules.
I looked around, and everyone seemed anxious to know why it took me so long to choose a house.
'Sometimes you have to break them to reach your goal. And could you please not ignore me or else I will burn you'
Hat: I see, I look forward to talking to you again, and don't forget you can go your own way.
'Then you won't tell me the whole joke.'
After five minutes of talking to the hat, he finally shouted where she would be for the next few years.
.
The whole dining room was silent, some people looked at me with surprise, others with pity or contempt.
My gaze met Severus, he had a small smile on his face and a happy gleam in his eyes.
Narcissa with a smile started clapping, followed by Severus, snapping the others out of their surprise that a muggleborn would be in Slytherin.
The whole green House along with Alice and Remus started clapping loudly, while James was still looking at me in surprise, I looked away from him and walked over to the green table next to Sev.
- "I told you'd be in Slytherin." - Severus said as soon as I sat down.
- "Well, you were right after all," - I replied with a smile, and then looked at Narcissa, - "We ended up in the same house."
- "I'm glad we're together."
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore said a few words, then clapped his hands and the food appeared on the table.
- "Hello again Miss Narcissa," - The three of us raised our heads and looked at a boy with white-blond hair, white skin, grey eyes, and a posture worthy of a gentleman.
- "Oh Lucius, it's good to see you again," - Narcissa had a smile on her face.
- "Same here," - He looked at Sev and then at me, which Narcissa noticed.
- "Lucius, meet Lily Evans and Severus Snape."
- "I am Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy," - He held out his hand to Sev as he introduced himself.
'Like father, like son.'
He held out his hand to me and I took it, and he kissed me on the knuckles.
- "It's nice to meet you."
- "Nice to meet you too" - Sev just nodded his head.
.
At the Red and Gold table, a group of four boys were chatting and occasionally glancing over at the snake table.
- "I can't believe she's going to be in Slytherin," - His gaze was on the redhead who was eating quietly.
- "James, you hardly know her." - Remus said to make the Potter understand.
- "Remus is right, maybe she's just like everyone else in that house." - Sirius said.
- "That's not what I meant." - Remus looked at Sirius with a frown.
- "M-maybe it was a mistake," - He said loud enough for James to hear.
- "Peter is right, maybe the hat was wrong," - Said the Potter.
- "I don't think the hat was wrong James, we hardly spoke to her on the train, she may be Slytherin, but that doesn't mean she's like everyone else in her house," - Remus replied quickly, the last thing he said looking at Sirius.
- "B-besides she was nice to us on the train," - Said Peter looking at James.
James thought about what his new friends had said.
- "Malfoy is coming over to where she is," - With that said, all four looked at the green table.
- "Malfoy?" - Asked Remus with interest.
- "Yes, it's the blonde princess with Evans."
Peter and James laughed at what Sirius said, while Remus had a smile on his face.
After a while, they started talking about other things until the headmaster stood up and said that the forbidden forest was, as the name says, forbidden. Then the prefects from each house took the first years away.
POV LILY
We were walking through the dungeons following the perfect Anasia Ross and Marcus Sweet both seventh years, to get to the Slytherin common room, we went through several corridors until we reached a stone wall.
- "Salazar" - Anasia said the password.
Behind the stone wall are the common room and bedrooms, lit by green ceiling lamps with black leather armchairs, chairs, and carved wooden tables covered in elaborate tablecloths. The hall extends partially under the Black Lake, which gives the room a greenish light. It has a nice atmosphere, but is also quite cold. It also smells of mint.
- "The password to the common room is changed every two weeks and is posted on the notice board. It is decorated with tapestries illustrating the adventures of famous medieval Slytherins."
After we were told how everything worked, the perfects were left to either look around the common room or go straight to their notes. Narcissa and I chose to go find our rooms.
- "Evans looks like we're sharing a room." - She said as she opened a door.
We walked in and the first thing I saw were the four-poster beds with green curtains. With a bedside table next to the bed. The suitcase at the foot of the bed. The lamps hung from the grey ceiling. And you could hear the water, which was relaxing.
I approached my bed and thought to myself, 'I'm so tired'. Suddenly the door was opened and a girl about our age came in. Brown hair, blue eyes, and white skin, and she looked smaller than me and Narcissa.
- "Hi, I'm Adelaide Brawler, your other roommate of four."
- "Narcissa Black, a pleasure Brawler."
- "I'm Lily Evans, it's a pleasure to meet you, Adelaide."
Adelaide and I got to talking for a while, then Narcissa joined us. She told us that she is a half-blood. Her parents both went to Hogwarts, her father is a muggle-born Hufflepuff, and her mother is a half-blood from Slytherin.
Narcissa told us that she is a pureblood, she has two older sisters Andromeda and Bellatrix, both of whom belong to Slytherin like all her family except Sirius (which I already knew).
And I told them that I'm a muggleborn, I have an older sister, and how I met Sev at the blonde's request.
After that, we went to sleep.
Chapter 8: Chapter Seven
POV LILY
It had been four days since we arrived, and so far everything is "normal" if we take away the magic.
Alice met Adelaide and we met Marlene Mackenna. Severus could be said to be friends with Lucius, thanks to Narcissa and me for doing everything possible to make them get along, on the other hand, a certain group of Gryffindors started with the pranks that luckily are not directed at Sev. In the last few days, I spoke to Remus, Peter, and Sirius.
With Remus, we were able to talk quietly, he was very nice.
Peter was very shy, he didn't talk much and was always with the boys, but in the end, we were able to talk even a little bit.
With Sirius, we didn't talk at first because of my colors, but after I explained to him that not everyone in Slytherin is a bastard, that he only knew the bad side of the house, and of course I also took advantage of my status as a muggle-born daughter. With that said, we were able to talk properly.
But with James, I didn't even have to get close because he came alone, but he always pushed me away for two simple reasons; one, whenever I'm near him, he always stares at me and even though I asked him to stop he keeps doing it, he doesn't even pretend!; two, maybe this way he won't be interested in me in the future, I won't have to marry him and Harry won't have to go through what he went through.
'Well, that will only happen if James isn't interested in me.'
Now I head out of the castle to look for Sev.
When I went out I looked around, and I found him under a tree, I could see he was very concentrated reading a potions book, he was wearing a black shirt and his trousers, his tunic was on one side of him folded, and he had other books on top of it.
'How cute... I want to squeeze his cheeks.'
I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and approached him.
- "Hi Sev." - He raised his head and gave me a half smile.
- "Hi Lily, is something wrong?"
- "No," - He raised an eyebrow, - "Well I'm bored these days I spend more time with the girls, so I thought I'd spend the day with you, what do you think?"
- "I agree, I have to take these books to the library" - With his head he pointed to the books that were on top of his tunic.
- "You've finished reading them." - He nodded, - "Good," - I walked over and grabbed the books, Sev got up and put on his robe and grabbed half of the books.
- "Let's go."
We entered the castle and walked down the corridors. In the corridors, only a few boys were walking or talking. Suddenly, two boys ran past Sev and me, causing us to drop the books we were carrying.
I look up and see James looking at Sev with a smirk on his face, then he looks at me with a goofy grin. I look away and help Severus pick up the books.
'Next time he throws the books at me or pushes me, I'm going to knock those two's teeth out. No Lily, think of teenage Tom inside the Chamber of Secrets..... HOPE not that, you'd better think about Albus as a young man, he's hot.'
I looked up and saw the headmaster.
'Quick, Lily, think of the Bible!'
- "Potter is an idiot." - Severus said with a sigh.
Severus' voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
- "Just ignore him, Sev."
When we finished picking up the books, we got up and started walking back toward the library.
.
After bumping into Snape and Evans. James and Sirius made their way to the common room, usually, the Gryffindor common room was very noisy and even louder at that hour. As they entered, both boys scanned the room with a glance, stopping at one of the sofas where Remus and Peter were sitting.
- "Hello, boys." - Said both boys at the same time.
- "Hello Peter, Remus." - Greeted the Black.
- "Hi," - Said the Potter.
- "How did the prank go?" - Asked Lupin.
- "Great, you should have seen how they looked like." - Sirius said with a grin.
Then the three of them started talking about the prank, while James was lost in thought.
- "James - are you okay?" - Asked the youngest of the four.
When Peter asked, the other two boys stopped their conversation and then turned to look at him.
- "Hm yeah." - James said absently.
- "He doesn't seem to be." - Said Remus.
- "What are you thinking, James?" - Asked the Black.
- "Maybe we can play a joke." - He said with a mischievous grin.
- "On whom?" - Sirius said interested.
- "Snape." - At that, Sirius smiled, while Peter and Remus exchanged glances.
- "J-James, it's not f-for Lily, is it?"
- "Peter's right, James, you don't want to play a joke on Snape because Lily doesn't want to be near you, do you?"
