A Bad Impression (Masamang Impresyon)

This is the first of my dialogue only Filipino practice fics.
As said in my bio, I thought it would be fun to practice the languages I'm learning by writing fanfiction. My tagalog is terrible though, so instead of an actual story I could only think up of a small dialogue. Still, it was a fun challenge to do.
If you are fluent or you are also learning Tagalog, feel free to read and let me know about any mistakes I've made. It's all a part of the journey of learning!

Work Text:

Sa Hogwarts Express. Nakaupo na sina James at Sirius. Pumasok sina Lily at Severus.

Lily: Hello. Pwede bang dito tayo maupo?

James: Hmmmm.....Anong house ang gusto mo? Gusto ko ang Gryffindor.

Sirius: Ako din!

Severus: Hmph.... Syltherin ako.

Sirius: Katawatawa iyan!

James: Masama ang Slytherin.

Lily: Slytherin? Gryffindor? Hindi ko alam.

Severus: Ikaw ay Slytherin....kasama ko.

James: Hindi! Maganda siya. Hindi maganda ang mga Slytherin.

Sirius: Talaga! Also, bobo si Slytherin!

Severus: Hindi! Bobo si Gryffindor! Tanga!

Sirius: Ikaw ay tanga! At ang pangit ikaw!

Lily: Hoy! Masama mo! Halikana Severus. Sawang-sawa na ako.

Sirius: Sige ka! Bahala ka!

Severus at James: ( >:P )

Notes:

I wrote this mostly by taking random phrases from my "Essential Tagalog - Speaking with Confidence" book. So if you find a lot of mistakes.... I may need to get a new book.
