Lily looked around the room containing all the frightened 1st years. She clinged close to Jenna, who scowled around at all the blokes who were grinning stupidly at her, Sirius among them.
"They..don't...stop...staring. I..will...punch the...bloody..hell..out..of..them..all." Jenna said through clenched teeth. Lily looked at all the blokes, who were staring stupidly still at Jenna and turned back to her.
"I..see. Well why don't you say anything?" she asked. Jenna grinned.
"Nah. I kinda..like it." she said while flashing a few of the boys a dazziling smile. Lily rolled her eyes as she laid her eyes on James, who was surley plotting in a corner with Sirius, who was gawking at Jenna and Remus, who was intently listening to James. He is kind of cute...but no, he's so arrogent. Lily thought anxiously. Both girls then looked at each other, grinned happily and burst out in laughter.
"Bloody hell, Prewitt sure is...fascinating. I'd like to...get to know her a little better." Sirius said, while grinning his annoying grin as Jenna turned away. He then took out a fine comb, and started combing his hair back, making a bunch of girls giggle and swoon over him. James rolled his eyes.
"Black. The girl doesn't just hate you. She despises you. For what reason, I don't know. But seriously Si, why don't you go for that whole giggily group over there?" he questioned Sirius, while leaning slightly on his shoulder. Sirius looked at him reassuringly.
"Don't worry I will. But why in the bloody hell are you lecturing me, when you haven't made a move on a certain redhead? Eh?" Sirius provoked. James turned a slight shade of red.
"Ah...well...I will." James paused slightly and turned to Jenna and Lily's direction. "OY EVANS!" he yelled as Sirius was dragged towards the two girls by James. Remus, observing this closley, followed shaking his head slightly.

Lily watched with great annoyance as James and his cronies approached her. "What do you want?" she mumbled, trying to hide her pleasure in him seeking her. James leaned on a nearby banister and flashed her a arrogent smile.
"Hello there...Lily. How are you doing? You know, I bet I'm proborly going to get into Gryffindor. Hopefully, you as well do too." he stopped and gave her a bigger grin. "It takes someone trully amazing to catch the eye of the great James Potter." Lily stared at him, anger and hate growing strongly by the second.
"It takes someone trully self-centered to strut over here and tell me that you're "Great". Well you know what, "The Great James Potter"? Why don't you and your girly haired friend go over to that little group of giggiling brainless broads, and let them gawk over your stupid pointless...stupid...SELVES!" Lily spat at him and walked away with James staring at her. He then glanced over to Sirius, who too, wasn't having that much luck.
"Oh, so you want to bring up that, eh? Well how about the time we were 8 and you locked me in the bloody broomshed with the bloody Snape!" Sirius yelled fiercly at Jenna. Jenna laughed scathingly.
"Oh and what about the time you cut off my beautiful chesnut hair that all the guys gawk at including you when we were 10. In my sleep. You could have had the deceny to do it in front of me at least!" she taunted back to him. Sirius stared at her in shock.
"I do not gawk at your beautiful chesnut hair. I stare at your chest.I mean your chest...nut...uhh...damn it!" he growled as he flushed bright red. Jenna slapped him hard across the face and shrieked.
"You stupid...MALE!" she cried and ran off to join Lily in the corner who was staring at James with disgust. Sirius stared after Jenna and looked back to James.
"She wants me." he said rubbing his face lovingly. "She wants me bad." James rolled his eyes and stared in shock at Remus. Remus, who was leaning up against a wall, was casually talking to Lindsey, who was smiling and blushing at him. To Sirius and James disgust and jealousy, Jenna and Lily soon walked over to Remus and also started talking to him.
"What does he have that we don't?" James howled out in hurt as Sirius stared at Remus murderously.
"He's.....he's....STEALING MY WOMAN!!" Sirius started bawling hysterically. Out of no where, a voice broke the chatter.
"Welcome all to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am Professor McGonagall, the Deputy Headmistress and Professor of Transfiguration. During this time, I will ask you to wait quietly Mr. Black , quietly and you will be asked to join the rest of the students in the Great Hall for the Sorting Ceremony." She paused and stared stiffly at James and Sirius. "I trust you all will take this time wisley to er, smarten yourselves up a bit. That goes for everyone Mr. Black and Mr. Potter." The headmistress started at the boys for a second and walked back through the doors she came through. All of the students sniggered at the boys and then became silent, possibly pondering about what house they would be put into. Suddenly, a minute later, Professor McGonagall stepped back into the room and beckoned the first years to follow her. Lily clinged to Jenna as they walked through the Great Hall and clustered together with the other first years. Professor McGonagall then stood by a ragged hat, which sung a song that none of the first years payed much attention too. Finally, after the song was sung, she started to call out students names.
"Avery, Rodrick." A scowling boy with brown hair stepped up to the hat and slmmed it on.
"SLYTHERIN!" the hat screamed. The Slytherin table applauded loudly. McGonagall paused at a name a few minutes later.
"Black...Sirius." Sirius grinned as he ran his hand throughout his hair, making girls giggle throught the hall. Before he put on the hat, he flashed McGonagall a grin, who rolled her eyes and motioned for him to go on with it. Sirius started blankly into the hat.
"Well, well well....we have here a Black. What shall i do with you? Ah..I see...arrogence, smugness...oh dear...and a cunnining only fit for Slytherin. You know what is in your family..." Sirius thougt to the hat "Put me in Slytherin, I tear you to shreds." The hat laughed softly. "Let me finish before I'm destroyed. Ah....I see loyalty. A great, great deal of loyalty. Only one house for that....GRYFFINDOR!" the hat exploded. Sirius jumped off the stool and raced to the Gryffindor table, whose girls were smiling gladly. Jenna rolled her eyes at this.
"Bulstrode, Bathalimu."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Cauldron, Lindsey." Lindsey looked at Remus in shock who nudged her up towards to stool. She put on the hat cautiously. "Hm... I see loyalty and friendship are valued above everything. It's quite hard to place you, dear. But the loyalty seems to be overbearing. Only one place for that and it is..GRYFFINDOR!" the hat concluded as Lindsey raced off to join the Gryffindors.
"Diggory, Amos." A tall, handsome boy walked over to the hat and waited patiently.
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Evans, Lily." Lily gulped down hard and walked shakily towards the hat. She felt eyes staring on her as she slipped it over her head. "Oh my goodness. Intelligence to the extreme. Very bright...intelligent. But the bravery beyond anything. You know, barvery is the root to...GRYFFINDOR!" Lily took off the hat slowly and grinned in happiness as she bounced off to the Gryffindor table and sat with Lindsey who embraced her happily.
"Goyle, Reginald."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Ishmiel, Imak"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"McKlyne, Sara"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Lupin, Remus." Remus smiled slightly and walked over to the hat and put it on. "Ah, I heard that you would be coming here...werewolf. Usually, you would placed into Slytherin. But you are much too kind and gentil to be in that house. You are modest...and loyal and brave. I think you would be suited well into..GRYFFINDOR!" Remus smiled and walked over to the Gryffindor table.
"Nott, Jacklynn"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Oasis, Ophelia"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Pettigrew, Peter" Peter, who among all of this was frightened, straggled up to the stool shaking as he slipped on the hat. "Peter Pettigrew. I see. You wish to be with your friends and your cousin. But you don't want to go where you really belong do you? Quite the oppisite but...GRYFFINDOR!" Peter scampered mousily to the Gryffindor table where Lindsey awaited him.
"Potter...James." James smugly walked up to the stool and put on the hat while casually leaning foward. "Mr. Potter. Intelligent, cunning and my oh my. Brave to teh point of stuipidity to put it bulntly. GRYFFINDOR!" James scampered quickly to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Lily, who was scowling as much as Sirius was grinning.
"Prewitt, Jennifer." Jenna strode over to the stool, ignoring the catcalls she hated so much, and smashed the hat against her head. "Oh dear, Witty, sarcastic and truthful. Where shall we put you Ms. Prewitt." Jenna grumbled inside her head. "Wherever the bloody boys won't stare at me, but hey!That won't ever happen." The hat laughed. "Alright then, I know where you want to go. Better be off to...GRYFFINDOR!" Jenna strode over to the table, admiring the Gryffindor blokes and sat down on the other side of Lindsey.
"Reddy, Hilary."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Snape, Severus." Snape glided over to the stool and put on the hat. "Oh dear, this is interesting. So much hate, yet wanting to be loved. ...There's fury in your heart because you know if you don't do what your expected to...there will disapointment. I think you're better to be known in SLYTHERIN!" Snape strode over to the farside of the hall, to sit with the Slytherins.
After what felt like an eterinty the last of the students had been sorted and the headmaster stood up. He was an older man with a long beard. "Well, students another year is beginning and I would like to just say a few things before our delicous feast is served. Firstly, I would like to remind every one that the Forbidden Forest is named for the fact that it is forbidden. Also, that no magic is to be used in the corridors between classes, and finally, a very rare Whoomping Willow tree has been planted on the edge of the forest. All those who would like to remain whole throughout this year would do well to stay away from it. That is all, now, to dinner." As he sat down. food magically appeaed on the plates. The students, dug in without a word to eachother and filled their plates to the brim. It was a long time before any of them said anything to eachother and by that point the prefect was coming over to show them the way to the common room.
Through the maze of stairways and corridors that was Hogwarts he lead them. Finally they reached the portrait hole. "Marauder." he shouted and the portrait swung open to reveal the Gryffindor Common room. Fire crackled merrily casting shadows of arm chairs tables and couchs around the room. The boys went up one stairwell, the girls another. As they opened the door to their dorm, they barely had the energy to take off their shoes, as they crashed into their beds. They were exausted from their first day at Hogwarts.
"Hello there...Lily. How are you doing? You know, I bet I'm proborly going to get into Gryffindor. Hopefully, you as well do too." he stopped and gave her a bigger grin.
