Sirius Orion Black woke up to his mother's shrill voice and the clanging of two pots over his head.
"Get up!" she screeched. "Pure-blood wizards are never late for Hogwarts!"
"Mum, I'm coming," sighed Sirius, throwing off the heavy blanket and running his fingers through his hair.
"Be at the kitchen in five, you already overslept," she hissed back, continuing to clang the pots together as she exited the room. As if Sirius would go back to sleep. No way! He was incredibly excited. But at the same time...
Sirius didn't want his House to be Slytherin. He had wanted it at one point, but after seeing what his mother had done to that poor girl... Needless to say, the thought of being in Slytherin made him slightly sick to his stomach.
But his family. People who loved and raised him... Could he really betray them?
Sirius sighed as he finished getting dressed (with mismatched socks, but still) and walked down for breakfast.
"You're going to Hogwarts!" exclaimed his mother. She was much more cheerful now that Sirius was out of bed and ready for the Express.
"Atta boy!" said his dad, standing behind him. He ruffled Sirius' hair. 'You best be in Slytherin, okay?"
"Alright Dad," said Sirius, feeling his mouth begin to twitch into a smile. "I will."
But will I? thought Sirius.
"Remember: don't talk to Mudbloods unless you absolutely have to, okay Sirius?" asked his mother as she pulled his trunk to the front door.
"Relax, Drusilla!" said his father. "Sirius knows he's too good for that filth."
Regulus, who had been suspiciously quiet during this entire exchange, now said: "Bye Sirius! Have a good time at Hogwarts."
"Thanks Regulus. I will." said Sirius. He turned to his dad. "You coming?"
"Of course!" Sirius' dad picked up his trunk and begun to walk towards the door.
His mother kissed both of his cheeks and wished him well, and soon enough Sirius and his father - through Side-Along Apparition - were at the famous King's Cross station.
Author's Note: This is my first fanfiction, so please don't be too harsh! This is just a filler chapter to start off the story. More to come. Flames will be put in the fireplace. See you next time!
