Lily POV


“Johnathan, Mary!” The sorting hat yelled.
I turn to Sev.
“Are you okay?” He asks me.
“Never better.” I reply, smiling.
“HUFFLEPUFF!!” The hat yells.
“Snape, Severus!” The hat says. I get excited for him.

“Wish me luck!” He says.
“Good luck!” I say back.
As soon as the hat touches his head, I hear,
“SLYTHERIN!!!”
I’m happy for Sev. I wonder who will be called nex-
“Evans, Lily!” I hear the hat say my name.
I run up to the stool.
“Good luck!” Sev mouths you me from the Slytherin tables.

“Well, well, well, Lily Evans. You are just and fair. You might do well in Hufflepuff. Then again, you are ambitious. You possess Ravenclaw traits such as knowledge and wit, and you are brave and loyal like a....” the hat whispers to me.
“GRYFFINDOR!!!” The hat yells.
I run to the cheering group of students.
I catch Sev’s eye. Then I remember. Sev. He’s in Slytherin. I should’ve asked the hat to put me there. We stare at each other for a moment, and then he looks away.
I continue to stare his way, until I hear,
“James Potter.” A spectacled boy next to me says. He gives me an odd vibe, having an entourage and a group of crazed fangirls following him. I don’t want to be rude, so I shake his hand.
“Lily. Lily Evans.” I say.
“Ok, Evans.” He says, and turns around.
I DO NOT like this guy.
