Chapter 1

Skylar Black stood on the platform 9 ¼. Her Uncle Remus laid a hand on her shoulder.

"You'll be fine." He knelt down and handed her a piece of chocolate to calm her nerves. "You have nothing to be afraid of."

"What if people treat me different because of Sirius? What if I'm put in Slytherin because of my family? What if…" She was cut off by her uncle popping a chocolate in her mouth. Of course he wasn't her real uncle. But she had been living with him for the past few years ever since her real uncle, Sirius Black, was taken to Azkaban Prison. Sirius had taken her in after her parents died.

"You are going to be just fine," Uncle Remus ushered her into the train. "Write often and make sure you study hard."

"I will, I promise." Skylar threw her arms around her uncle's neck. "I'll miss you. Make sure you take your medicine. I want to spend Christmas with you."

Remus kissed her on the head and hugged her tight. "I will. Now you better hurry, you want to get a good seat."

Skylar ran to a compartment where she waved goodbye to her uncle. She would miss him so much. Skylar settled down after Uncle Remus was out of sight. She was on her way to Hogwarts, she reminded herself. She was going to learn magic and make some friends. She knew her Uncle Sirius would want her happy. Skylar decided to just change into her robes now. When she was done, Skylar leaned her head against the window and drifted off to sleep.
