Lord Black
It was 1976, the marauders were heading to King's Cross Train Station's platform 9 ¾ for their 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. Sirius Orion Black III, the heir of the most ancient and noble house of Black, was tired of all that family prejudice but managed to distract himself from all that pure-blood mania whilst accompanied by his best friends. The Marauders were always there for each other. On the other hand, there was another student anxious to get to the Hogwarts, and that student is Hestia Jones, muggle-born, she as well had precious friends: Lily Evans, Marlene McKinnon & Mary McDonald. This is the story of family prejudice, blood-classification betrayal, friendship and love.
Chapter 1
"Mom! For the last time I am very pleased with the way I look, I mean I don't need to be all girly and stuff!" she cried but her mom was still determined to help her realize how a 15 year old girl should look, so she, after failing to change her mother's mind, ascended the stairs once more to her room followed by Mrs. Jones to give her a complete make-over. After 30 minutes of agony, she was finally allowed to look in the mirror, she looked quite ravishing! Her dark wavy hair that was always lifted to a ponytail was now caressing her shoulders and almost reached her back. She was no longer wearing her glasses but was given contact lenses which made her eyes pop for the very first time since she was forced to wear at least mascara. Her lips were also complimented by pink gloss. Her mother wanted her to wear a dress but instead she was contented with a nice pale purple top and some skinny jeans. Hestia, after 15 minutes of looking in the mirror, grabbed her bags and dragged her trunk behind her before getting in the car.
King Cross was packed with people, even after getting into platform 9 ¾ she felt the number of people around her increase. Most students didn't recognize her, even those in her year, until she was taken by an immense hug from her best friend Lily Evans who was rather shocked when she first saw her.
-Hesty ! You look great ! Not that you didn't before, but umm I mean, what have you done to yourself ?
-Lily, I missed you too :p (sarcastically) come on let's get into the train before all the good compartments are gone.
-Yeah you're right, I bet Mary and Marlene are already in.
The two girls were looking for their friends' compartment until a male voice interrupted them.
"Hey Evans, looking as radiant as ever
-Piss off Potter.
-You know you want me Evans, why not just admit it?
-In your dreams Potter!"
This was another of James Potter's pointless attempts to sweep Lily Evans off her feet, His once large grin disappeared when he was again turned down. Sirius on the other hand was laughing at him the whole time, until he saw what he thought was a new girl standing next to Lily and didn't hesitate to turn his charm on " Hey there new girl" He winked at her and she slightly blushed but managed to hide her face behind Lily's head so she won't be seen
-"Black, It's Hestia" barked Lily at a shocked looking Sirius
-"My apologies Miss Jones" said Sirius in an I'm-a-perfect-gentleman kind of way as he bowed and kissed Hestia's hand. She blushed into a tomato, after all it was the handsome and charming Sirius Black !
-"What the hell was that?" asked Lily furiously shortly after the marauders were out of sight
-"I dunno, I'm as furious as you are, really that was umm..Outrageous..yes..um" Hestia mumbled, well she thought it was charming but wouldn't want to be smitten by a Casanova, Lily would bite her head off if she was anyway.
Shortly after that rather pleasant meeting with the marauders, the two girls joined Marlene and Mary in their usual compartment. The girls seemed to chat endlessly about their summer vacations, well they needed something to talk about during the long trip to Hogwarts.
