This means speaking in their mind
"This" means speaking out loud

Severus' POV

Severus woke up to the sound of the Hogwarts express blaring in his ears, atleast thats what it felt like, he shot up, knowing that was the signal of finally arriving at hogwarts. He went to look out the window, there were already children getting out of the train.

Severus remembered he hadn't yet changed into his Hogwarts robes, he quickly casted a spell, his old clothes disappearing and reappeareing onto the top of his suitcase, he was now wearing his robes, he looked down at the pant leg, and used a charm to fix it. Unlike the other kids his age, he couldn't afford new school robes every year.

He would have to fix the robes to fit him, or his mother would take him to shops that offered hand-me-down slytherin robes that would fit him.

The raven haired male stuffed his old clothes into his suitcase and walked out the compartment door, there weren't that many students left so that meant it would take some time to find a carriage for himself, he usually rode with Lily, but he already knew she must have rode with her other friends in Gryffindor.

°•°•°

Sometime later severus had finally found a carriage with no one in it. He sat down and let out a small huff. He felt bored with nothing to do, normally he would have  something to do when he was at home, like doing chores, and reading his textbooks, but he had read them over 2 times already. Plus it would make no sense to unpack his trunk when he was barely in his dorm yet.

Apparently he spaced out for too long, because the carriage came to a stop. He jumped out with suitcase in hand. Almost sure he was ready for another year of torment, detentions and being pulled off his feet and into the air.

The sorting ceremony had just begun, severus watched as nervous first years make their way to the sorting hat, each house clapping as another young student was sorted into their house.
Severus didn't care enough to clap of course. He just watched with boredom, his mind wandering to why he felt slightly uncomfortable in his seat near the first years. Well... yes he was sitting with the first years, he always sat there! Who could blame him? He wasn't willing to socialize with any students his age, besides.. none of them wanted to hang out with the freak of the school, no one wanted to talk to snivellus!

Okay, okay that one stung a bit, but back to being uncomfortable in the seat he had been sitting on ever since he was a first year, for one he felt a bit shorter, now that he pointed that out to himself, he seemed to be lily's height!?.

Why and how did he get that short, he was sure that around this time of age he was supposed to be getting taller, not shorter...

Severus was pulled from his train of thoughts as a voice boomed around the Grand hall (or great hall, sorry I keep mixing them up).

It was Albus Dumbledore, their Headmaster.

"Welcome back to another year of learning, I hope you had a wonderful summer, and that you are ready to learn more here at Hogwarts"

There was a loud applause made after he was done speaking he spoke up again.

The headmaster explained the dangers of the Forbidden forest, he mentioned the rules and punishments of being caught after curfew and sneaking out after it aswell. He also explained other things, he wished the students luck and allowed them to enjoy the feast.

"LET US FEAST" the headmaster said in a joyous tone.

But as soon as he said that there was a burst of green smelly slime from the ceiling, all of which landed right on severus' head, he quickly jumped up and squealed out of fright, thrashing around as the slime seeped through his worn out robes and reached his skin, he instantly started scratching.

His back, his arms and legs, his neck and mostly his head aching and itching, it felt as if thousands upon thousands of mosquitoes had swarmed on him and were biting him over and over again.

Soon there was the sound of giggling, and now the whole hall was bursting into laughter, severus opened his eyes to look at whatever was going on, there everyone was pointing fingers at him laughing, some were laughing so hard they looked about to cry.

Severus didn't dare look at lily, he was too ashamed right now, where he did look was at the Marauders, he knew instantly it was them, they were laughing their heads off, Potter and Black high-fiving every now and then. They keep missing each other's hands though, because they were too blinded by the tears in their eyes.

Severus felt all the rage build up in his heart and eyes, his eyes and nose were burning alot, he let out a choked sob as he continued scratching his arms and legs, making him do a funny dance and almost falling over on his face. He ran to the giant doors that led to the exit of the great hall. Swearing to God he was gonna murder them the next time he saw them.
