Sirius Black
A different Life
Drive to Hogwarts, missing rat and annoying hat
I was nervous. More nervous than ever. When I got the letter from Hogwarts, my whole body was energized. My parents were satisfied and hoped that Slytherin would finally get the spirit of the Black's into me, but I hoped that less. They had immediately owed all family members and acquaintances and boasted that I would definitely come to Slytherin. Yeah yeah, we all understood mom and dad. Regulus had also been totally hyper, and wanted to have his letter immediately. So now I was standing at King's Cross station, looking for platform 9¾. Yes, just how should I find it please? I had never been here before and my father would just drop me off here and then run away again. Hmm, I pushed my car and hummed a little as I looked around. Some muggles stared at me as I was driving around in this big car. I found it rather amusing. My pitch-black raven crowed happily, it sounded like a laugh. I hadn’t given it a name yet, I just hadn’t thought of it, I would probably make up my mind at Hogwarts, there would have to be someone there who had good names ready. My train of thought was ever interrupted when I saw a family of three walking ahead of me. A family that had a boy my age who also pushed a car like me, only with an owl. Bingo! I followed them unobtrusively and watched as they approached a wall between platforms 9 and 10. The brown-haired mother whispered something in her son's ear, who nodded, took a run and ran towards the wall. Was he not quite at ease anymore? That would hurt! But when he should have hit the wall, he disappeared. Oh! Magic! I could have come up with that myself. His parents followed him. I looked around once and then also walked towards the wall. Once I took a deep breath and then ran towards the wall as well. Either I was going to disappear like this family now, or it was going to be very, very painful. But to my great astonishment I didn't hit anything, I came out in a completely different place. The sign said platform 9¾. Hahaha, I was really there! Families chatting and hugging crowded everywhere, and older students stood together chattering. Since neither one nor the other was an option for me, I decided to get on the train. Despite the large number of students who were still outside, most of the compartments were already occupied. But when I got to the last compartment door in the car, I rediscovered the boy I had seen by the wall. Without thinking about it, I pushed the door open and went inside. "Hi." I did. "Hi." he replied with a grin. He had brown hazel eyes, glasses and hair that stuck out in all directions.Was that on purpose? No matter. He wasn't the only one in the compartment. A red-haired girl sat in the corner and stared out the window, but I didn't care. "I'm James. James Potter. And you?" "Sirius. Sirius ... Black." "Black? I think I've heard that name somewhere. Hmm. Oh, never mind." He grinned. And I grinned too. We started talking and two more boys came into the compartment. Remus Lupine and Peter Pettigrew. Remus was pale and had ash-blonde hair. Peter looked intimidated and had thinning blond hair. They also got involved in the conversation and all in all we had a lot of fun. But that all changed when a boy with greasy black hair and a huge nose entered the compartment. At first we didn't pay any attention to him, but then he said to the red-haired girl, "You'd best come to Slytherin."
"Slytherin? Who wants to go to Slytherin? I think I'd run away then, you too?" James asked me James. "My whole family was in Slytherin," I replied without a smile on my face. "Oh, man! I thought you were okay!" Now I couldn't help but grin. "Maybe I'll break with tradition. If you had a choice, where would you go?" James raised an imaginary sword. "Gryffindor, because bravery and courage rule there! Just like my dad." The black-haired boy with the giant nose made a derogatory noise. "Do you have a problem with that?" "No." replied the latter, but his sneering grin tightened the lie. "If you'd rather have strength than brain-", I just couldn't stand such behavior, it just reminded me too much of my family. So I threw in "Where would you like to go where you obviously have neither?" James roared with laughter while the red-haired girl who was also sitting in the compartment, straightened red with anger, looked disdainfully from James to me and then said "Come on, Severus, we'll look for another compartment." "Oooooh, we both did in unison, but we couldn't avoid shouting after them," I'll see you, Schniefelus! "Oh, such a little argument in front of Hogwarts was just the best. A few minutes later the compartment door opened again and I thought the two of them had come back because there was no other compartment free, but I was overwhelmed In the door of the compartment stood a girl with black, curly hair, slightly tanned skin and the brightest green eyes I had ever seen. She hadn't put on her cloak yet and was wearing a little gray skirt and a white T-shirt that said[ i]"Help my reflection is following me! "[/i]Okay, you don't have to understand that, do you ?! Certainly an insider. The girl grinned at us and involuntarily position changed from sitting in the seat to straight posture. Manners, they called something."Ahem, hi! I should ask you if you ... uh ... what was it? Wait a minute!" She closed the compartment door again and we looked at this point, confused. 10 seconds later she was back and continued to say, "Well, I should ask you if you are the rat from .... oh man! That's not true now, right?" She slammed the door again and was gone. Completely confused, I grinned at the closed door and in the meantime felt very pissed off, but before I could think any further, the door opened again and now she said without dropping out "Well, I should ask you if you saw the rat of a certain Hamton Joe "No, wait, Joe Hamton did." At that she sighed and slumped into the seat next to me. "Oh, man, next time I'll listen right the first time and don't embarrass myself that much again." 2 seconds passed, then we burst out laughing and she just looked at us, perplexed. "What?" "Do you know that you are crazy? You have to take that to the teachers at Hogwarts." "Do you think I couldn't do that?" She looked at us completely seriously, but suddenly she changed the look on her face as she stared at her shirt. The writing had changed. It had changed from"Help, my reflection is following me!"[I]to[i]"Waaah! My reflection has found me!". She groaned and I no longer understood the world. Not a second later a boy was standing in the doorway with tanned skin, black hair that was tied in a short ponytail and gray eyes. He had gray pants and a white T-shirt that said[i]"A twin seldom comes alone!". Oh. Twins! Now I understood about the reflection in the mirror! “May, what are you doing here ?!” “Apologize for my mega embarrassing appearance?” He rolled his eyes. “We still have to change.” “Aha, and why don't you do that?” “Because I was too busy looking for my super cute, completely disoriented sister who prefers to chat with a few boys.” " Hey, just for information: I'm not disoriented. Okay, I'm super cute, and great, you've forgotten that. But think about who is older, honey. "She winked at him cheekily. "Oh, shut up. It's only 2 minutes! And you pushed me back because I would have been first." "Well, the strength wins. Or in this case the stronger one." Wow, she could provoke well! I was very impressed. "May is enough." With that he grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the compartment. "Oh, Danny! You spoilsport!" Then she turned to us and said, "I'll see you at Hogwarts!" Then the door slammed and it was quiet in the room. We sat and stared at the door where the most impressive girl I had ever seen had just disappeared. Well, until now I didn't really care about girls, I had only been out of the "girls are disgusting" phase for about a year.And until now I always thought that girls are so petted and always behave like my spoiled cousins. But that was just ... really awesome! She had a buddy attitude about her. After we all recovered from the shock, we started laughing and changing. Then we were led to Hogwarts by a friendly looking half-giant and the rat we were looking for was forgotten.
When we stood in the vestibule and an old teacher told us how it would go, everyone was as if invited. You could literally feel the electricity. "Oh man, are you guys as nervous as me?" James asked our group. I could only nod and the others did the same. But suddenly we heard a familiar girl's voice. "Man! What's wrong with you !?" she almost screamed, her voice sounding like tears. Suddenly it was quiet and everyone turned to the three people who were standing there. "Leave my sister alone, Deleila!" "Shut up, Danny! I'm talking to Deileila!" May snapped at her brother. Suddenly he was completely perplexed. "B-but she has-and you-a-but ..." "As I said, nobody talks to you!" she hissed again. "Damn it, Deleila! What did I do to you?" "You ask that too? Seriously?" Her voice was barely more than a breath, but then she hurled against May with a loud loudness "YOU WERE BORN! YOU HAVE ME DONE! I HATE YOU! "Even if it was hard to believe, it was even quieter now. Danny's mouth was open and May ran a silent tear from her empty eyes, which she quickly wiped away and only said, "Good to know. Woe to you coming after me, Danny!" our direction away and stopped next to me without really realizing it. Her eyes were fixed on the big door in front of us and her face had taken on such hard features as I would never have thought possible for a girl like her. Then we went in two rows into the Great Hall, which was really magical, but I couldn't enjoy the sight because my thoughts kept revolving around the girl who was walking next to me. But then the old woman began to call out our names and the nervousness returned. However, May looked more than relaxed. "Ammaret, Kyra." "RAVENCLAW." came the sound of
