--------------------------------------------------------------

After a few hours, it started to get dark, the wizards left at eleven in the morning and were arriving at Hogwarts around seven.

Once the train began to stop, all the wizards and witches began to dress in their robes and the official Hogwarts uniform.

The temperature started to get colder and colder, so they had to put on heavy coats underneath their wizarding robes.

At this precise moment, as the wizards were changing, several loud yells were heard coming from one of the carriages of the train.

Severus and his two companions heard them...

And it didn't seem to be that far from their carriage.

"My clothes!"

"Cunt!"

"All our clothes!"

"Bloody disgusting, what is this?!"

"It smells horrible!"

"Fuk and it looks even worse!"

"How the hell did this happen?!"

"Those arsehole!"

"Damn, who the hell did this?"

" Damn bastards, they're going to pay!"

They were heard shouting at a group of young men who looked very angry.

Severus, Avery, and Rosier knew automatically that the shouts were coming from the Slytherin prefects.

"They're getting bolder and bolder every day, now they're even attacking the prefects' carriage!" hissed Avery with hatred and disgust.

"Looks like Potter and his gang of wankers want to celebrate the admission of your cousins by humiliating our prefects," commented Rosier glaring at Severus.

Now they knew quite a lot about Severus and his new inheritance, as well as about his two distant cousins.

He told them everything without bothering about what they thought, but neither Rosier nor Avery had any problems with Severus.

No, there were always distant relatives who were less than desirable.

There were even siblings who were, as in Regulus' case with his hated brother Sirius.

All of Slytherin hated Sirius Black, but they had nothing against Regulus Black.

"What makes you think that?" asked Severus intrigued.

'Did Potter already know about them or did he just find out about them now?' he wondered.

"Why else would they pick on all of Slytherin for no good reason?" said Rosier.

"I don't remember them ever needing a good reason," Severus commented.

"Against you maybe not" commented Rosier.

"But remember that things are tense at Hogwarts, and going against the prefects is going against all of Slytherin"

"And as much as Gryffindor support Potter and his gang of wankers, they won't like knowing that they got everyone in Gryffindor into their problems," explained Rosier.

"Yeah, those mudbloods and blood traitors in Gryffindor are terrified of us, the last thing they want is for things to get worse," grinned Avery amused at the idea of being able to intimidate and scare the mudbloods.

Things at Hogwarts were as the two of them said, the Slytherins used to bully any mudblood they could find...

But the other Houses had organised themselves to never leave anyone alone, so they all moved in groups.

There were still a lot of conflicts, but it was mostly between Gryffindor and Slytherin that things were very tense.

The two Houses always ended up fighting...

Perhaps most notoriously the constant bickering between Potter and his gang against Snape...

But that was only a small part of what was going on inside Hogwarts.

And it wasn't usually the Gryffindors who started the conflicts, no...

It was the Slytherins who tended to bully, intimidate and threaten other Gryffindors.

Snape's case with Potter and his group was rather special.

Many Slytherins wanted to get involved in the conflict Severus Snape had with James Potter, Sirus Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, but Snape was very proud and didn't want anyone to intervene.

'Yeah... Proud' Rosier thought sarcastically as he shook his head.

Rosier knew it wasn't just pride, though, as Evans had had to intervene on many occasions, completely crushing the "prude" Snape spoke of.

Rosier was smart enough to know that Snape only gave that excuse to the other Slytherins to avoid admitting that he didn't want them to intervene for fear that they would do something to Evans.

Yes, that was his bloody way of keeping the Slytherins away from her since she always intervened in his conflicts with Potter and his gang.

"Oh... So you think they already met them?" asked Severus.

"Hmm, not necessarily..." said Rosier.

"Yes, we already knew there would be two new Gryffindors this year" seid Avery.

"Maybe they did too," commented Rosier.

"That is, yes, Rosier is right" nodded Avery.

"Ha, now if they became friends with Potter and his gang they wouldn't be excluded from Slytherin's wrath" Avery laughed looking at Severus.

And even Rosier looked at him wanting to see how he would react knowing that Slytherin wouldn't let go of the ones responsible for the attack and probably give his cousins trouble.

Severus just smiled and shook his head at the obvious looks they were giving him...

As if he cared about that.

When the train completely stopped at the edge of the platform, the little wizards hurriedly got off and descended to the platform.

All the first years met up with the half-giant Hagrid to go to the boats and get to Hogwarts by the lake.

Then the rest of the wizards hurried to board the carriages pulled by Thestral.

Severus caught his first glimpse of the large horse-like animal, thin as a bone covered in a skeleton and with bat wings folded at the sides pulling his carriage.

Rosier who was now sitting next to him, seeing the look on Severus' face couldn't help but ask intrigued:

"So... now you've seen death too, did anything interesting happen?"

He knew that Severus couldn't see the Thestral before, so something must have happened.

Before Rosier used to answer a lot of his questions about what these animals looked like or other things.

Severus was always very curious about them and Rosier was one of the few he talked to who could see them.

It was at this question that Severus frowned for the first time since Rosier and Avery had met with him today.

"If killing is considered interesting... then yes," Severus replied lightly with a deep, dark look.

That made Avery and Rosier's skin creep.

'What the hell is he talking about?' they both wondered, but neither dared to ask when they saw that look on him.

Rosier was never afraid of almost anything, his father was a very loyal death eater and made him experience all sorts of things, making him lose sensitivity to most things.

But that look in Severus' eyes made him remember what his father had once mentioned to him that he felt when the dark lord looked at someone with anger...

Now Rosier felt something similar to what his father had told him.

Luckily, the three of them were distracted because after a while they began to hear a lot of laughter from the young wizards.

Severus looked at those "responsible" for making all the young wizards laugh.

They were a group of wizards in Slytherin uniforms that at first glance one knew were from noble families, but since they were all dressed in pink robes, no one paid attention to their status or house, only to their amusing clothing.

They even exuded a smell that wafted up to the carriage where Severus was standing with his companions.

The Gryffindors couldn't stop laughing and the other houses also smiled in amusement but were more reserved as they didn't want unnecessary trouble.

Now Severus was sure that Potter and his group were responsible as Snape had suffered something similar in the past.

Although now they clearly improved their methods as the prefects couldn't get the colour out of their clothes or the bad smell on them with their magic.

Severus even heard Potter and Sirius laughing loudly in the distance.

They had surely been wholly carried away by the fun and couldn't help but laugh like fools, not even bothering to disguise that it wasn't them.

"When I find out which one of you miserable Gryffindors it was I'll make you pay dearly for this offense!" shouted one of the Slytherin prefects irritably.

Most of the Slytherins around gave the Gryffindors dirty looks.

Everyone knew that this year had just begun but there was already going to be a lot of trouble.

Then the prefects along with the rest of the Slytherins went to their own carriages giving one last look at the still-laughing Gryffindors.

After the crowd calmed down a bit, everyone went to Hogwarts without much more conflict, just the occasional poisonous glare, and warnings.
