REALLY?! That is like so awesome because I really want to join... I might not like post regularly or anything, but I can just um... play along.

@ Elizabeth- I'm really sorry, but we have already started this RP. Could you have your character enter after this bit? I will write the very first part with your character, she won't say anything, I'll just have her walk in, OK?

SEVERUS SNAPE***

I can't believe  that girl! what does she have against Muggle-borns? I'd bet just about anything that she is a pureblood.

"Is there something wrong with her being a Muggle-born, Alexis?" I sneer. "Come on. Lily, let's get out of here. Better not let our presence soil her." I hold my hand out to Lily, who seems to not be able to decide to come with me, or try to comfort Alexis, who has started crying on the seat.

"Severus, I don't think she meant it like that. I think she was just embarrassed." Oh, really. I think not.

"L-lily's right *sniff*. I-I *sob* d-didn't say that," she manages to get out through her tears. "I th-thought this place would be d-different!" Well, that's not cryptic at all, is it?

Alexis collapses on the seat sobbing and gasping. Really, you'd think I had just killed her pet or something. She's so emotional!

Lily glares at me.

"Apologise to Alex, Severus! She says she didn't mean that, so say you're sorry!" she adds when I hesitate.

"Fine. I'm sorry for snapping at you, Alexis. Apparently, there was a misunderstanding," I say tersley. I'm still not ready to forgive her yet, though.

"I-It's okay, Severus *sniff*." She keeps sobbing, just not as loudly. I start to feel bad about the way I was thinking earlier, as I can tell that she has had a tough day, what with Potter and Black torturing her. Maybe I should have let her explain before yelling at her.

Just as Alex starts to stop crying, the compartment door opens and another girl about our age walks in. 

THERE! Elizabeth, you can continue from there. "Kyra, that's your cue!" calls Snape in a silly voice.

@ Orpheus/Allie- YAY!!! Anyway, your character is a little old to be a first year. Did he get held back before? What house are  you in? Anyway, glad you posted!

@Afton T.- Oh, forgive me! I should've looked at the post more carefully! Thanks for the cue, by the way! :) 

I've decided to think about which house I'll be in. It'll be a surprise until the sorting.

Kyra-

I walked down the bouncing car, trying to find an empty compartment. By the looks of it, I would not have any luck. I came to the end of the train compartment. Two close doors waited for me to pick. I decided for the right one and walked it.

Three students, most likely my age, sat in the compartment. A girl with long light red-brown hair sat next to an oily haired, dark eyed boy with what looked like a torn piece of Daily Prophet on his nose.

Across from the two, a girl with red tear-stained eyes and blonde hair lay curled on the seat.

"Um... Is this seat free?" I shyly pointed to the seat next to the blond girl. She didn't look up but the red-haired girl nodded gleefully, saying: "Oh, yes! Take a seat." 

I gratetfully took a seat, then dropped my small shoulder bag down next to me and tried not to look at anyone in the cabin. 

"What's your name?" the girl with red hair asked. I broke away from looking at my scuffed blue shoes. "Kyra Ethnighted," I told her in a whisper. 

"I'm Lily and this is Sev. Well, actually, Severus Snape, but who really cares." Lily seemed like she would scream with joy and happiness at any moment. 

"First year?" Severus, or Sev, let out his first words. The emotion in his voice was hard to detect while his dark eyes stared at me.

"Yes." My answer sounded cold and cruel. I immediately added, "And you?"

"First year." His voice seemed just as cold as mine had been earlier.

I started to study my shoes, very interested.

"Which house do you think you'll be?" Lily asked.

"I don't know. My brother was in Ravenclaw but Nina was in Gryffindor so I can't say."

"Sev thinks he’ll be in Slytherin and so will I, probably!” Lily's elaborate green eyes startled me. She didn’t seem like a Slytherin. Maybe a Griffyndor or Ravenclaw. Sev on the other hand seemed like a born Slytherin. He kept staring at me, holding his crumpled Daily Prophet scrap.

"Pureblood?" There was Sev's short question again. After I thought about it, he must have been as timid as I. A soft spot opened in my heart.

"Yes, you, too?" 

"No."

I didn't know how to go on so kept looking at my feet. 

[As you can see, I added some of my other post!] 

Kyra-

It was evening.

A boy had walked in earlier and was now sitting at the window, sleeping and pretty unnoticed. Lily and Severus were deep in conversation, of which I didn’t know the subject and the blonde girl next to me had gotten up from her position on the seat to stick her nose in a book. I, Kyra Ethnighted, had no idea whatsoever of what I should do. No one seemed to notice me, not even happy little Lily. I suddenly got bored with my shoes, fumbled around in my bag and took out my wand.

My wand was made of a shining cherry, 11.6 inches long with a two or so centimeter diameter that got smaller towards the tip and the core was dragon heart string.

My mind whirled with the heap of spells I’d read about in my sister and brother’s books. After testing a few spells on a piece of paper, I decided to test my magic skills on objects in the compartment.

Somehow, my wand pointed at Severus’ face, by the time I noticed what I was doing, Severus’s face had puffed up like dough.

“What did you do?” he demanded, his voice full of pure anger.

“I didn’t-“ I bit my lip and gulped with inward embarrassment, fear and shame.

“You arrogant girl! Fix this!” he yelled at me through his puffed up lips.

“Now Sev. Don’t be mad. It was just a mistake.” Lily tried to calm the oily haired boy.

“Give me my wand, Lily!” Sev snatched the wand from Lily’s outstretched hand and pointed at his own face. He uttered an incantation and his face slowly went back to normal.

Severus then gave me an evil eye that still scares me. “People who can’t do magic shouldn’t play with magic wands,” were his only words to me.

I couldn’t think of a retort and even if I’d had one, I probably would’ve preferred to shrink into the seat. Tears slowly welled in m yeyes. Lily said something to Sev but I wasn’t listening; I was too ashamed.

The train soon chugged into the station. I grabbed my bag and stood up. I was about to walk out of the room when Lily called out, “Where are you going? Aren’t you coming with us?” I smiled and waited. Lily, Sev, the blonde girl (who Lily was calling Alex) and the long haired boy on the window sill were getting ready to leave the compartment.

We stepped out of the train and into the fresh air.
