A/N: This is the first fic that I am determined to finish. It is also the first one that I am writing on my own.I own none of the people you recognize and just in case you don't notice some of the people, I don't own anything JK has previously written. I think that basically covers everything. ENJOY!!!

Sirius Black held the mirrors in his hands. The mirrors were beautiful, highly polished silver handles with gold engraving. (a/n: it was engraved and then had gold poured in if that makes an sense)

"Thanks Roma. They're really nice but well, I'm really not so arrogant to need two mirrors. I mean what are you trying to tell me."

Andromeda just laughed "No you prat. Here give me one. " She snatched one out of his hand and said his name into it. Sirius' face broke into a slightly maniac grin.

"That's bloody brilliant."

Andromeda smiled. "I figured the way that you and Potter cause problems this would make it easier to coordinate you 'attacks'"

The smile vanished of his face. "Yea, well, James is going to be sorted into Gryffindor and well, I'm…Black family heir."

"Well, I'm in Ravenclaw. Maybe you will too. If you do then you probably wont get lynched by your parents and you wont get lynched by the rest of your house for talking to a Gryffindor."

"Sorry Roma, but I'm not smart enough. I know some hexes and a couple simple jinxes but you went in to school as close to a genius. I'm not close to that."

"Don't worry about it. You'll make friends in Slytherin." She smiled sadly at him and ruffled his hair. At that moment she realized how lucky she was to be born a girl. She couldn't be made the 'Black Family Heir'. She didn't want it. She didn't fit the bill for it any way. She wasn't in Slytherin like she should have been. She didn't associate strictly with purebloods. No, she wouldn't have made a good heir and as she looked at her cousin she had a vague feeling that her cousin was going to have trouble fitting the role.

"Tell mum that I shall be down in a moment. Hurry before she sends Kreacher up here. I don't want that evil beast touching my robes."

"I will, and you hurry. Your guest were arriving when I came up here and there are bound to be more by now." Andromeda left Sirius in his thoughts.

Sirius wished many times that he was born into his best mates family instead of his own. James Potter was his best mate. Also, a pure blood he was allowed to talk to any one he liked, muggles, halfbloods, purebloods, and one he would like, unlike Sirius. Unlike Sirius, James was allowed to have friends that weren't purebloods. James was going to be a Gryffindor, unlike Sirius. Yet, somehow they were best mates. Ever since they were born they had been practically inseparable.

They were terrors. They locked Sirius' little brother in a broom closet outside. They cut off all his cousins hair, which was especially horrible since they were all girls, and since two of them were about to go o Hogwarts. Any of the pureblood children that ended up at either of their houses would never want to go back. They were always dragged back, but it was against their own will.

There was a knock at the door. Beady eyes and large ears poked through the door at about waist height.

"Master Sirius, Mistress is wanting you downstairs immediately. She says that I am to stay here until the young master is ready."

"Get out of here you beast. I'll be down in a moment."

" I'm not allowed young master."

"Bleeding hell." Sirius murmured as he adjusted his tie. "I'm ready. Let's go."

The day dragged, and dragged, and dragged. Both Sirius and James were under the watchful eyes of their fathers. Neither of whom was a man to be crossed. Both held the high belief that purebloods were the only type of people that should be befriended. The only difference is that James' father was rational and realized that muggleborns were not going any where and that they had to be dealt with and that they were getting more and more common and you were going to have to deal with it… with them.

"How much longer do you think this is going to last?" James asked quietly.

"Dunno mate. Hopefully not much longer. They've been here all day, and some of them have been here since last night. If I have to deal with them much longer then I'm going to go bloody bonkers." Sirius sighed. He was standing in the door way between the dining room and the kitchen waiting for his mother to stop looking at him, waiting for his chance to escape over to James' because even though it was his birthday, he wasn't having a good time.

"FINALLY!" the boys screamed as they loosened their ties and ran up to James' room. "FREEDOM!" They said as they threw open James' bedroom door and stopped in their tracks.

"No one said that you were excused to go boys." said Mrs. Potter, who was sitting on James' bed. The boys dropped their heads and tightened their ties back up. "You should be happy that your father hasn't noticed your gone James, and you Sirius, it's good neither of your parents noticed when I left. Now hurry up and I'll side along you both back with me." The boys conceded defeat as they grasped Mrs. Potters arm.

They slunk quietly back into the dining room and thankfully no one had noticed they had disappeared for a few minutes. They greeted and talked with the adults around the room for another few hours before they were allowed to leave.

"It's to dark to play Quidditch, when was the last time that you went to Zonko's."

"With you James. Do you honestly think my mum would give me the pleasure of going to Zonko's knowing that I would us anything that go against precious Reggie."

"Bugger, no wet start fireworks then I guess. I'm pretty sure that you used them all."

"Yea, I had to last time that I came over. I was supposed to be studying. You think your mum will take us to get our school supplies tomorrow. I got my letter the other day and mine is nervous that if I have my wand too long that I'll hex little Reggie."

"Would you stop calling him Reggie? It's blasted annoying. Any way, what are we going to do. We don't have anything from Zonko's, we don't have wands, we are they only two here, and it's to dark to practice Quidditch. Blasted parents making us stay and watching us the whole time. We couldn't even do anything to your cousins! No offence mate, but that was a waste."

"I'm not going to disagree with you Jamsie. I was bored to tears, but what was I going to do about it. Not like we could risk leaving again. We wouldn't be lucky enough to get away twice with only your mum watching. Roma was there though, she was rather entertaining."

"That's true. It was quite nice of her to decided to tell her sister that she was dating a boy in her house."

"I still don't know why she decided to do that. It wasn't the brightest thing to do. She knew Trix was going to tell her mother I don't understand why she would do that."

"I don't think that she cared much what her mother said though. I think she knew what she was doing. Let's go get some ice cream. Again, no offense but your cake was rather disgusting."

"Again, I agree. Lead the way to the ice cream Jimmie boy."

"What's with the names?"

"Don't ask. Now I demand ice cream." Sirius threw his arm around James' shoulder and they walked the hall down to the kitchen.

Hey, you see that button down on the bottom left. Push it. Then write something. Then see me smile. Thanks
