Padfoot, Moony, and Longtail walked by Lily and Becca's apartment. Moony stopped cold, and I understood why. He heard the word werewolf, and thought that Becca knew his secret. I nodded 'no' and we continued walking. I changed into my robes, and saw the little first year, Areena, looking sad at a group of kids laughing and talking. I started to feel bad, but then stopped. We were now in clear view of the castle, and still, it amazed me that some of the most famous people in the world were wizards, and they still managed to hide the whole fact of wizardry from muggles.

I stared at the castle, the most beautiful, amazing, wonderful yet terrifying thing I have ever seen in my life. It was so tall that I can't even explain how tall it is. It had tons of towers, and plenty of courtyards.

(No you I don't think you are controling her but... here:

"Oh," she says. "Werewolves. I mean, I feel bad for them, but they're
really dangerous, aren't they? From what I've read. I wouldn't feel
comfortable around one."

I think Lily (who is pretty sure that Lupin is a WereWolf and kind of likes him would have said:

"Oh," she says. "Werewolves. I mean, I feel bad for them, people say that  they're
really dangerous, but are they? From what I've read.They can be really nice humans who have a slight um.... problem? BUt other people say that they are super dangerous and we should never go near them or let them become wizards or anyhting. I think that's a little extreme but I'm not really sure what I think about them." 

Anyway...)

//LILY//

I smiled at Becca. She looked kinda worried. I wonder why. I like her. She's my best freind, even though she doesn't understand about Sev. As I walk down the corridor I bump into someone. Oh. No. It's The Creep and his gang! I had to have been rather stupid to walk into them. Oh well. I feel Becca bump into me at my sudden stop.  I smile sweetly at them all. Especialy at Lupin.

"Hi."I say as if I hadn't just put a jinx on one of them. 

"How are you?" I slide my hand into my pocket and grasp the smooth end of my wand. If it comes to fighting I'de be ready.

"Oh yeah, you think that you can just come down the corridor, and saw 'Hi, how are you?' like nothing happened? Well your wrong! Densaugeo!" I yelled as I pulled out my wand. Instantly, her teeth grew to be the size as a tea saucer, and she reached for her wand and tried to yell out a 'Engorgio', but it only came out like 'Lenhoiu' or something or rather. I laughed, and thought, Yeah, that'll teach you not to make my hair flat again! Then that Areena kid came by, looked at Lily, looked at me, and asked Lily what happened. She got really mad, but then Lupin told her the whole story. Areena told Lily to come with her, and she could take him to Severus, and then he could help her get her teeth back to normal. Lily followed her, and the whole time I was thinking that maybe I went a little too far. No. She jinxed me first, she should have seen it coming.

I led Lily to Severus, who was talking with the Slytherins who had jinxed my pets. I let Lily walk ahead, and I sort of stood behind her, guarding my owl and my cat, who I had been carrying all this time, and let Lily and Severus talk, er, Sev talk and Lily mumble. Finally I spoke up, "Will Lily be okay?" "Shut it, first year." One of the boys snapped back. At that I cracked, and ran away into an empty compartment and cried. I didn't want to go to Hogwarts, I wanted to go to normal school and be a normal kid, not some freak who needs a wand to protect myself. I just wanted to go home.

//LILY//

I wasn't that upset at The Creep. I would tell Proffesor Slughorn, I was one of his favourites, and Creep would probably get detention. I WAS upset however about Sev seeing me like this. My poor teeth.

//SNAPE/

Poor Lily.  Her friend won't tell me what happend. I shrink her teeth back to their normal state. 

"What happened?" I ask her as the other girl escapes out of the compartment. She shrugs.

"I was practicing the enlargment charm and hit myself. It's nothing." I don't believe her and she knows it. But I don't push her, instead I pick up her bags and help her off the train.

I finally got up, got my stuff ready, and trudged out of the train. I big, huge, mad was standing a little to the left, yelling, "First 'ears! First 'ears of 'ere!" (thats just how I imagined him talking like) and I walked over to him. He took me by the shoulder, with a grip of steel, a led me over to some boats. We boarded on, with other kids my age, and another bigger kid, held back most likely. We sailed towards the castle, and filed into the castle.

I flipped my wand, causally caught it, and climbed onto the carriages with Moony, Padfoot, and Wormtail all sat in the same carriages.

(I believe that we have officially gotten to Hogwarts, does anyone object? If so, disregard the following. But please don't, this post took me a while to make.)

I climbed out of the boat, with the big man following me, and another 40 or something first years, too. "In 'ya go now, 'ittle ones." The man said. I almost raced into the doorway, the man gave me the creeps. We got into this huge hall, with tall oak doors looming in front of us. There was cheering coming from inside the doors, with the sound of clinking silverware. An old lady with an upturned nose, long, flowing cloak, and a tall witch's hat came and told us what we were going to do next. "You will walk down the aisle with me and wait for me to call your name. Then, you will sit on the stool and the Sorting Hat will place you in your house. You are then to sit down at that table, and wait for Professor Dumbledor for further instructions." She then opened the door, and at least one-hundred kids came into view, old, young, cruel, kind, tall, short, fat, skinny, it was the most children I've ever seen in my life! An even older man stood at a podium with an eagle on it, and from the things I've seen from my 2 hours away from home, I'm guessing that that eagle could move. Some kids skipped to the front, and received the death glare from the old lady, and kids like me, who were so scared we could hardly move, walked slowly down the aisle. The old lady started to call out names, and I realized that her name was Professor McGonagall. The sorting hat was singing a song, but I couldn't really pay attention. It went something like this:

A thousand years or more ago
when I was newly sewn
there lived four wizards of renown,
Who's names are still well known:
bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,
fair Ravenclaw, from glen
sweet Hufflepuff, valley broad,
shrewd Slytherin, from fen.
They shared a wish, a hope, a dream,
they hatched a daring plan
to educate young sorcerers
thus Hogwarts School began.
Now each of these four founders
formed their own house, for each
did value different virtues
in the ones they had to teach.
By Gryffindor, the bravest were
Prized far beyond the rest;
By Ravenclaw, the cleverest
would always be the best;
For Hufflepuff, hard workers were
most worthy of admission;
And power-hungry Slytherin
loved those of great ambition.
While still alive they did divide
Their favorites from their throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone?

Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
He whipped me off his head
The founders put some brains in me
So I could chose instead!
Now slip me snug around your ears,
I've never yet be wrong,
I'll have a look inside your mind
And tell where you belong!

The crowd cheered at the song, and soon McGonagall was calling off names. "Carganian, Jessica" She called. Jessica went to Slytherin. "Castellanos, Areena." I walked up to the stool and sat down. Whoa, I thought, You could see everything from here! Just then a black velvet blocked my eyesight, and I heard it speaking to me in my mind. "So, you don't want to be in Slytherin, hm?" It asked. "No sir, mister, er, thing?" I stammered. "GRYFFINDOR!" It hollered. Well, at least I know a few people. I thought as I got a seat on the bench. The rest was just a blur, but 5 other kids did come to Gryffindor.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP TOP TOP TOP TOP TOP TOP TOP

(Going to Harry Potter camp this summer!!!!!!!!!!!! 

When the train slowed down, and finally stopped, Alanna and Mushroom where the first ones out of the compartment. Ignoring the stares following her head, she raced to the carriages and left on the first one. The thestrals in front of her leaped ahead. She could see the creatures for the fact that when she was little, she had seen her best Muggle friend die. Her friend had gotten really sick and died. She kept that part of her life very secret. Some people thought that could have also been the reason she was grumpy all the time.

When Alanna arrived at the Great Hall, she sat down at her table and watched the Sorting gloomily. A mew at her feet made her glance down."Mushroom!" she hissed. She picked the cat up and stuffed him into her robes, hoping no one would notice. "Now don't wriggle" she muttered.  

The rest of the ceremony droned on and on, all I was thinking about is how I would be able to get past one day without getting killed by Potter. Finally, Dumbledor finished his speech and a tall kid, glasses, and a badge so sparkly from rubbing and washing that is blinded me, herded all of the Gryffindor kids into a large blob of some sort, and we set off out of the hall. We climbed up stairs, then down stairs, some more up stairs, and finally we were in front of a picture of a fat lady. Great. Now were're lost and I won't get to class on time tomorrow. But then, the dude with the shiny badge stepped up and said, "Greetings, I would like to know the password for this year." And now I have a madman in my house! Who would ever want to talk to a portrait?? Then it did the most unsuspecting thing I could have thought of. She answered him. "_____ _____" (I can't think of a password, so someone else might want to.) "Thank you, _____ _____" And then the picture swung open, we all filed inside a doorway. We were in a huge room, with maroon and gold banners on the walls, high windows, a cozy fireplace, 3 large wing chairs, a small coffee table, and two spiraling staircases, most likely for the dormitories. I went up one of them, and a first year boy tried to follow me, probably thinking that the first years go up here. But, as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, they turned into a slide and he fell flat on his face! Lily came up after me, and showed me to my dorm, and then she set off with her other friends to go to her dorm. Inside the dorm, there were 5 large beds with curtains, each with a bedside table and a window. Our luggage was at the foot of our bed. I made sure that they didn't misplace anything, robes check, feather pens check, Hermes check, spare wand check, (my mom always wants me to be prepared) but where was Heracles? He wasn't with the other girls luggage, but I was soon dragging my feet and my eyelids began to close, and I plopped down on my new bed. 

//Sirius//

The four of us walk up to Gryffindor tower. James, who is in the lead, hesitates in front of the Fat Lady. "What's the password again?"

"Cream puff," says Remus, who always knows these things. The door swings open.

"Cream puff," James repeats to Peter as we walk in. "Remember that. We won't always be able to help you out. Say, for example, that you had a girlfriend -- "

"James! What girl would agree to go out with Peter?" I shove a first year out of the way and we plop down in front of the fire. 

"Good point," he says. "All right. Say, Peter, that you finally got up your courage and told Mrs. Norris of your undying love for her."

"Despite your fear that she might eat you," I put in, grinning.

"And the pair of you went out for a long, romantic walk on the grounds." Even Remus is laughing now. Peter looks positively terrified. James can hardly get his next words out. "Say that it was late at night when you got back. Say everyone was asleep."

"Say you woke up the Fat Lady and listened to her rant at you," I continue.

"And then say that you couldn't remember the the password. What would you do? Now," he leans toward Peter with a mock-serious expression on his face, "just to make sure -- what is the password?"  

Peter is petrified. "Oh -- um -- er -- oh -- puffball?"

The three of us collapse laughing. Eventually, Remus recovers enough to say, "You know, you really are too hard on poor Peter. Don't worry," he says to Peter, who is still in shock, "I'm sure nothing like that could ever happen." 

"You're right," I say, choking out the words. "Peter'll -- never -- get Mrs. Norris -- to go out -- with him." And James and I collapse again, with howls of laughter.  

"You dudes are a riot! Well, not to be a stink, we better get to bed. McGonagall will kill us if we don't get to class on time."  I said.

(Still sleeping)
