You and me, it's life and death

Chapter 2

-Ah finally, Padfoot! We hoped for more... But it's that you're bringing us back from the company. You introduce us?...

*************************

It was a bespectacled dark-haired man who had just spoken. He had a dazzling crooked smile which, Leana thought, would make a lot of girls crack. He was leaning against the window and playing with the laces of his sneakers.

-Léana, let me introduce you to my best friends. That's James Potter, here it is...

-Hey! I'm not someone you can call "that". A minimum of respect please!

-No actually James, said the newcomer, you seem to be an unknown creature rather than a human. So "that" might not be appropriate.

-But... but it is that she is violent the little one!

Everyone laughed at that.

-Well then, Sirius resumed, THIS GUY is Jam...

-Very handsome guy" he gave a charming smile to Léana who couldn't help but giggle.

-STOP CUTTING MY SPEECH DAMN!

-At your orders, Captain! 

James stood up suddenly and gave a military salute, shouting throughout the compartment.-

-This is Peter Pettigrew, Sirius continued.

A chubby boy, the hair, unlike James, well brushed, the clothes well ironed, clean on him, waved at the teenager. He gazed admiringly at James who, as usual, was fooling around. He seemed shy and insecure.

-And finally, the wisest of us, Remus Lupin.

-Delighted.

The latter gave her a big smile and held out a hand that she will be with a firm hand.

-Tell me Sirius, didn't I know you knew the word 'wise'?

-Of course I am! But that doesn't mean I am.

Someone knocked on the wagon door, cutting them off in their discussion.

-Hello children, would you like something to eat?

It was a very old woman who had just spoken. She delivers a float in her hand filled with different kinds of candies: chocolate frogs, slug gums or Bertie Crochue's surprise dragees.

-5 chocolate frogs and 3 surprise dragees.

She gave them what they wanted, grumbling at today's young people who couldn't even say "hello" and "please".

By the way Leana, said Remus, since you're new, when are you going to go under the sorting hat?

-After the 1st years normally." she shrugged.

-And which house do you want to be in? exclaimed James and Sirius like dogs having heard the word "food".

-Slytherin!

-...

General silence... We would have heard a stolen fly.

-What do you have ?

-We, explain Remus calmly, we are Gryffindors.

-And what does it do?

-Well, Gryffindors and Slytherins don't... how to say... don't support each other at all.

-Well, we will be an exception.

- No, said Sirius who until now hadn't spoken, I NEVER speak to Slytherins! They are vicious and full of themselves. 

He had his arms crossed to signal his displeasure.

- Seriously Sirius! exclaimed Leana

-Always him. answered Peter softly but obviously not enough because the latter heard him.

She rolled her eyes, picked up her things and said:

-I'll look for another compartment for the rest of the trip!

-Leana... started Remus but was stopped by James.

-We don't talk to Slytherins, remember?

-How silly you can be sometimes. 

The half-blood took his book to end the conversation...
