---- I only own Hermera please ask before using her.

Hermera, and the other new students stood waited for there turn to try on the sorting hat and she stood behind two red hair boys who were planning some sort of prank.
Most went up before her and when The name Hermera Black was called there were whispers and giggles....of oh she is definetly a slitherin. She let out a sigh and sat down letting the hat fall over her Frizzed dark hair she resembled her mother verly clearly. Though she dreadfully hated the women.
Hmmm.... The hat said and turned all eyes were fixed on her as it spoke, Have'nt seen a black in a long time. This is a challenge it stated, I will have to say GRYFFINDOR it shouted and the room suddenly became very silent. There were no clap like for the other children.
Just blank confused stares and looks of horror her resemblance to her mother seemed to scare some people. Bellatrix Lestrange had abandoned her during the last war when she was only 3 and she was raised by a house elf.
If she told any one she lived in the orders headquarters and was watched after by them and kreacher while her mother and sirius were in Azkaban that would attract some attention.
She looked more like her aunt Andromada more than her mother she had the large soft brown eyes but she had the wild jet black hair that tended to set people off.
She walked toward the table as the other children were being sorted and she saw the glares and spaces being saved or covered she traveled to the far end of the table and sat not speaking a word.
This was gonna suck.......

Hermera sat alone like always but the Gryffindor table was seeming to become more and more full these days and she could not help being near the people who were so terrified of her and her background.
She groaned as her cousin Draco walked to the slytherin table and gave her an odd stare as if she had three heads. She was never much of a talker so when she did spend time at Malfoy Manor she never spoke of school or let of that she was not a slytherin and was indeed sorted into gryffindor.
They would behead her for associating with muggle borns... But the thruth was she did'nt really associate with anyone. The name Harry Potter was called and Hermera's face shot up in Anticipation this boy was her uncles god son so she knew and she had been dying to meet him.
She had not been able to for he grew in the muggle world and she was not aloud to tell him he was magic or that she was. When he was sorted in gryffindor she ushered him over to her and ron looked at him frightened as he walked over to the wild girl and sat if front of her.
Harry she said with a smile, He looked at her questioningly and she felt tears prick her eyes. I have not seen you since we were tot's she said smiling. She still remembered how mad sirius was at peter he was walked around grimwauld place breaking things in a furious need to let out anger.
I'm sorry but I don't remember you he said smiling. Well I am kinda like your cousin she said smiling. My uncle is your god father so that makes us somewhat connected. His name is Sirius Black, Why have I never met him Harry said rushingly, Well he is in azkaban it is a wizards prison he was framed for a crime and is held up.
But that is all that I know, My name is Hermera Black. Do you know about Voldemort she said solemly, Harry nodded well he has these fallowers and they are called death eaters. Well My mother and father who abandoned me when I was young are Deatheaters. I just figured I would warn you now.
So you don't have to hear it from someone else, But you can't tell anyone what I told you about Sirius that is a secret. Well are you a death eater harry said curiously.... Hell NO Hermera said proud, I'm on your side she said and winked at him.
Well then we will be good friends he said standing and hugging her before returning to the weasley family of red heads. Did she hurt you Percy said concern lacing his usually stuck up tone.
No harry said trying not to seem taken aback we had a very pleasant conversation. She does'nt talk to anyone George said looking at her sidways Ever fred added.
Shes kinda scarey ron said not even sparing a look at the strange girl.

Harry was walking down a hallway by himself after dinner fogetting how to get to the gryffindor tower though he did not want to admit this falter in his memory he aimlessly searched.
Then he jumped when a low voice came from behind him, He turned to see Hermera smiling at him cockily well she said. Well what he said smiling back he did'nt understand why others were scared of her. Where are you going she repeated a cocky smile adorning her lips still.
Well he said blushing at his bad memory, I can't remember were the gryffindor tower is. She laughed loudly and grabbed him arm shocking him she turned the complete other direction and went up the stairs he had walked strait by here not even ten minutes ago.
The came to the picture of the Fat lady and harry began embarrased again not remembering the password, Hermera let out another laugh her laughter was strangly delighting like some secret only few knew and harry was in on it.
Caput Draconis she said still trying to hold back her laughter at how new at this harry really was. When they walked into the common room, they saw Fred and George making jokes and a group around them laughing. No one noticed that they entered and the new additions to the room soon learned the jokes were made to Hermera's disadvantage.
She quickly stood stiff taking her bullying and pain with a broad chest and stiff upper lip. Their Jokes had never gotten to her harry could tell and soon all noticed harry greeting him.
They soon noticed the tall girl standing behind him, They all suddenly felt bad she did not look upset and or angry but accepting and knowing. As if she had expected the unexpected and was now taking head on and bravely.
But seamus of course did not feel bad The twins either they just continued now with her in the room with more ease. Well speak of the devil George said, What a wonderful suprise Fred added.
Harry quickly became angry as the insults were flung at the girl behind him like wild fire. Fred soon raised his wand and shot a trouser dropping jynx at her. Before anyone could blink she whipped out her wand the same as her mothers and deflected the jynx.
Harry's face was reddening with furry now, STOP IT! he screamed anger seething through him, and every thing stopped Hermera Tucked her Wand back under her cloack and gave harry a quick but surprising sisterly kiss on the top of the head. Then she proceeded up to the girls dorms with out a word.
Go apologize Percy told the twins, They sent hermione up the girls stairs in order to retrieve Hermera. When the girls returned Hermera looked bored and annoyed she was the only girl in gryffindor who wore pants with her uniform instead of a skirt.
She was now out of her sweater and cloak in just her pants button up shirt and loose gryffindor tie. This reveiled to the twins surprise as well as harry's,ron's and Hermiones. Percy cleared his throat the girl had a surprisingly large bussom, Well lets hear it them she said sounding annoyed. Sorry Fred and George said together. Okay hermera said looking around at the odd stares and then turning and walking back up to the girls dorm.
As she walked up she heard whispers. Maybe if she did'nt look so much like her bloody mother more people would like her. Then it happened she snapped she stomped and walked back down the stairs into the common room. A large group of people staring at her she grabbed a pair of scissors off of the table and put her wild main into a ponytail. she put the scissors to the nape of her neck and chopped her hair off.
She put down the scissors and Handed her sebered ponytain to Fred Weasley who took it and stared at her in awe. Happy now she said venom dripping from every word. She now looked not so much like her brother but the most striking thing was her beauty hidden by the hair she had only moments ago.
and for the last time that night she walked up the stairs going into her single room and going to sleep quickly, trying not to think of how this would attract attention tomorrow.
