"Black, Demetria" the teacher called out. I took a deep breath and slowly made my way up to the stool at the front of the hall. Everyone was whispering. There hadn't been a Black at Hogwarts for half century and we're a well known family, associated with the dark arts. The Professor placed the sorting hat on my head and it was barely touched my head when it yelled out

"SLYTHERIN!" I sighed in relief. I'd be a disgrace to m family if I wasn't in Slytherin. I jumped up and walked over to the Slytherin table where I was greeted with open arms by the older students who had great big smiles on their faces. The Black's were finally back at Hogwarts it was a time of celebration for the Slytherins'.

We sat through the rest of the sorting then listened to the head masters speech and then when the feast appeared on the table before us we all started talking about school and what we are most looking forward to.

"So the Blacks are finally back" a boy who looked to be in his third year said smirking t me

"And you are?" I asked raising my eyebrows

"Steve Greene" he said

"I've never heard of you or your family so in the future don't bother me" I snapped at him.

"Look, kid, you're eleven I'm thirteen you really want to mess me?" he asked

"I've been taught magic you couldn't even imagine and I'm not afraid to try darker. Are you sure you want to mess with me?" I hissed.

And that's when people stopped trying to mess with me. By my first day at school every student in the school knew what I was capable of and the majority of them were scared even some of the teachers were. The students that aren't scared soon learnt to be within the first month of my time at Hogwarts. The only student that wasn't scared of me was Tom Riddle. A first year Slytherin just like myself. He never challenged me and never questioned me so I saw no harm in him not being scared. In fact I ignored him. Right up until our sixth, when things really started to take a turn for the better in the wizarding world, well Hogwarts at Least.
