15th July 1971, Black home
It was July 15th, a quite peaceful day at the Black home situated at 12, Grimmauld Place, London. During breakfast an owl came flying down, delivered a letter to Sirius and was his Hogwarts Letter. He was happy beyond words and started shouting. Mrs. Black told him that it was nice that he was not a squib and scolded him saying not to shout as it was not fit for the heir to the most ancient and noble house of Black. She also told him to better be in Slytherin or else he would be also told him to better get his school things from Diagon Alley the next day.
31st August 1971, Black Home
Sirius had got all his things for school including a new wand which was mahogany with dragon heartstring from . Sirius was all packed and ready to go to Hogwarts tomorrow and he was sure he would not be able to sleep all night and was excited about making new friends (his mother had told him to make friends only with Purebloods like themselves and told him not to associate with mudbloods, but Sirius didn't care and had resolved that he would make a few Muggleborn friends to make his mother angry). He was also excited and worried about which house he would be in. He didn't want to be in Slytherin because he wanted to be different from his family. But he had just one thing which made him sad, Leaving his younger brother Regulus alone. He didn't care about his father or mother but the thought of leaving his brother hurt him quite lot as he went to bed, only to stay awake till around 2am in the morning and finally falling asleep to wake up in the morning to a new day and a new world.
