A Secret Love (Severus Snape/Student Love Story) (Editing)

Chapter III: Sorting Hat

Rain's POV
      Professor McGonagall opened the door and i followed her staying at her back. All eyes on me. Some student stared at me, some greeted me and some including the trio smile at me.

      I can feel my body shaking nervously. I can't see what's in front of me so i stared my shoes as we walk infront.

     Professor McGonagall turned around at me and smile, she move a little so i can see what's infront of me. I tilt my head up and saw ang long table and different faces smiling except for one person wearing all black who's sitting next to Dumbledor.

      He look like he saw someone dead come back to life after how many years. Shock is written all over his face. Then he regained his posture and back to being cold. Hmmm interesting 🤔.
     
       Professor McGonagall glanced me at the chair infront of everybody while she's holding a hat in her right hand. I sat down the chair and my eyes landed on the trio.

      They talking while they stared at me then Harry looked at me with shocked. Okay what's going on? Why he look at me like that? it made me uncomfortable. It's my turn to shoked when the hat  started to talk. What the heck! 😨

      Sorting hat: "I've don this job for centuries, On every student's head i've sat, Of thoughts i take inventories, For i am the famous Sorting hat.
    
      So this is how they sorted student into their houses. Quite amazing. Then he continue.
    
      "I've sorted high, I've sorted low, I've done this job through thick and thin, So put me on and you will know, Where house you should be in, Rain Elizabeth Jade Scamander-Lancaster" He said. Geeezzz no need to mention my full name. Rain Lancaster will be alright.

      "Undoubtedly intelligent and wit. So much courage and bravery. Dedicated, patience and loyal. And ah ambitious and cunning. Now where to put you?" he said. so much for introduction i said and he chuckled. Well at least i'm no longer nervous. I waited for minutes.

What took him so long to decide. Then i hear sudden cheers from the tables. I can hear them say the name of their houses. That was nice. I remember the first time i entered Ilvermorny, the first time i sorted. It's just like this, it's like deja vu.
     
      Then finaly he come up with a decision. "Ah yes, yes,.... I say..... GRYFFINDOR!" all student at the 3 tables cheers except for the table at the other side of the Great Hall. I smiled then approached the trio in their table.

      I sat down next to Harry. I looked up at the high table and Professor McGonagall and Dumbledor smiled at me so i smiled back. Then Headmaster stood up and made a speech. I turned to the trio and chat with them.

      After the Headmasters speech food appeared from nowhere and the feast started.

      "Rain we were just talking about you while you're being sorted" Hermione started.

      "Yeah i noticed that" i said while eating my food. "And we were saying-" she hesitated for a while then she continued.

      "You look like Harry's Mother" hermione said. I almost spit out what i ate because of what i heard. I cough and catch my breath.
    
      "You're kidding right!" i said looking at them. They just stared at me. "You can't be serious, are you?" Harry handed out a picture and i look at it.

      "She's pretty. But do i look that old?" i ask them they chuckle. "We're just telling you look like her" "Well i'll take that as compliment then" i said and we laugh.

      A moment later i feel someone staring intently at me. I look around and my eyes landed on the man in black sitting next to Dumbledor. I stared back at him and he's the first to cut. What's wrong with that man. I poked Harry on his shoulder and ask

      "who's that man in between Professor Lupin and Dumbledor?" He look at the high table. "That's Snape the dungeon bat" he said and laughed.

      Well he did look like bat. "What he teach?" i asked again. "Potions" he replied. I see. Looks like my stay here will be fun after all. I ask no more question and continue eating.
     
      We stayed there a little longer. Ron introduced me to his siblings. The Twins named Fred and Georg, they are funny and they always prank other student here, I like them. And there's Percy, their older brother who's the Head Boy. And Ginny their youngest and only one sister.

      We chat and laugh until we're cut by Bat Man. well i prefer calling him Bat Man rather than Dungeon bat. More cooler right hahahaha. "Aren't you supposed to be in your dormitory now" he said coldly and he raised his eyebrows.

      "Yes Professor" they said. scared eh! hahaha. We stood up and walk straight to the dormitories. I look back to met his eyes. He's staring again. "Staring is rude Professor" i said and run towards the gang. His face is priceless hahahaha can't get enough of it.

      "What did you do?" Hermione asked. I stopped laughing and composed my self as we enter the common room. "Well i look back and i caught him staring at me and shouted that staring is rude, and believed me his expression is priceless" i said still laughing.
     
      I look at them instead of laughing i see deep in confusion. "Ain't that funny?" i asked again. Then "well i don't know, we never see him let out any expression. He despise everyone especially Gryffindor student". Oh that's new.

      I want to asked why but i guess it's best to keep my mouth shut. I'm getting more interested to him. Not that i like him rather he is so mysterious. Gonna find out more about him trust me. A small grin formed to my lips.
     
      Hermione shows me my room and said good night then she left. I saw one bed when i opened the door. My stuff is already here. I saw a sets of uniform and robes. I like the color, nice choice. I dont have any roommate yet so i can have the room all by myself. I take a shower and change clothes. After that i throw my self on the bed starting to  stare at the ceiling. Suddenly i remember Lucy, I missed her already, hope i can see her again. And that bat man why is he so mysterious, i bet he didn't know how to smile either. Wait why am i even thinking of him in first place. I let out a deep breath and drifted to my dreamland.

Snape's POV
This is so strange. She resemble Lily. My heart skip for a second as our eyes met. She has the same eyes like Lily. I can't take my eyes off of her. There's something strange pulling me to her. Snapped it out Severus she just look like Lily. And Lily is dead she will never come back. I composed my self but failed to concentrate. Damn this.
