HALLO! This is my first FanFiction so be easy if it starts to waver.
It's Severus Snape's school-days story. It seemed no-one had done one, so I took the challenge.
I hope you enjoy!

Severus walked along the long platform where the Hogwarts express was waiting. His heart was thumping as much as the trunk behind him was. Rough hands relieved him of one of his heavy burdens and helped him into the train.

Nervously he walked along the corridor that stretched throughout the train. Almost all the compartments had people in. He didn't want to join anyone, but he didn't want to be alone for the entire journey.
"Hi!" A female voice called out. Severus didn't turn, she was probably calling out to one of her friends.
"You with the black hair!" The voice called.
Severus turned slowly, expecting the worst. He got allot better.
He found himself facing a young girl who looked about his age. Hair like flame and smiling green eyes.
"You looked like you were about to sit on your own!" Severus didn't say anything, she was probably going to mock him, but he couldn't believe that anyone this sweet looking could do such a thing.

"Come sit by me, I was going to be alone as well." She smiled.
Severus attempted a smile back again, but in vain.
He followed her, quite zombie like, into a spare compartment.
"Is this your first year?" She asked, happily as ever.
"Yes, are you new too?" He asked, sensing the hope in his voice.
She nodded.
"I'm Lilly Evans."
"Severus Snape."
"Gosh, your name sounds so much more magical than mine."
He smiled, and she, catching on, got the giggles, and before long they were both laughing.

Severus couldn't remember a time when he was happier than in those few hours on the train. They'd talked about everything and then had a laugh at the chocolate frogs.
Please let us be in the same house, He begged as they were taken up to Hogwarts. It would help me, oh please Merlin.

They entered the main hall, almost all eyes were on them, he felt Lilly grow tense beside him. Another thing she'd told him.
"I get quite nervy sometimes, but it's alright if I have friends around me."
Now was probably not the best time to become nervous, Severus thought to himself.
He looked up to the front of the hall. A tattered old hat sat on a stool. As they neared it began to sing.

A new generation enters these walls,
The new year has just begun,
But not to worry for it is safe
After a battle here fought was won.
Unity came long ago
And now it seems to last
Division still exists
But for the most part it’s in the past
And now I’m to separate you
For tradition makes it so
‘Cause I am the Sorthing Hat
And into one of four houses you will go
If you enter Griffindor
For those brave at heart
With gallantry and loyalty,
These bold ones play their part.
If you enter Ravenclaw,
For those with clever wit,
With brains and knowledge,
These smart ones never quit.
If you enter Hufflepuff,
For those with utter devotion
With persistence and allegiance,
These just ones put things in motion.
If you enter Slytherin
For those who stand strong,
With strength and cunning will,
They’re not the easiest to get along.
So put me on and you will see,
There’s no need for you to fear,
For I see everything, you cannot hide
Let’s hurry to start off the year!

Now thats just weird, he thought. A singing hat. He looked over to Lilly, but she was whispering to a boy with black hair and glasses. Severus felt something inside of him lurch, but it died as soon as she looked back at him and smiled.
The names began to be called.

"Black, Sirius!"
A handsome young boy went up proudly to the hat. It muttered a few things that Severus missed and then called out.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
A cheer went up from the table on their left, and Sirius strutted down to take his place at the table.

"Weasly, Arthur!"
Arthur was sorted straight into Gryffindor, as was a rather plump boy called Peter Pettigrew and a lonely boy called Remus Lupin.
"Evans, Lilly!" Severus flinched, Please Merlin.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The cheer went up again from the Gryffindors, and Severus was silently begging for a place in that very house.

"Snape, Severus!"
Severus walked slowly up to the hat.
"Ah! A Snape! Well you wont be hard..."
"Gryffindor, Gryffindor, please Gryffindor."
"SLYTHERIN!" Severus hardly heard the cheer that went up from the Slytherin table. Why not Gryffindor? He caught Lilly's eye and looked sharply away to the table he was headed for.
