Black Chronicles: Sorcerer's Stone

by hcomet28

Mira Black lost her family as a baby. Her mother died and her father was sent to Azkaban prison. Despite this, she now has a great life with her godfather. Especially, since she's about to start Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, where she meets her best friends Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter. Let the adventures begin.

1. The Letter

"Mira!... Mira!"

I loved my godfather, he was my best friend and the kindest person I knew, but he was a morning person, which automatically deserved murder in my book.

I squeezed my eyes shut and buried my head into the pillows, but nothing could block his shouts.

"Mira Black!"

I sighed and opened my eyes begrudgingly.

"What?!" I shouted, not moving.

"Come downstairs, please,"

"No," I yelled, flipping onto my stomach and burrowing my head underneath my pillow.

"Why not?" Though my godfather tried to sound upset, I could hear a smile in his voice.

I lifted my head out from under my pillow, scowling. "I understand that you're a morning person, and that's just fine, Remus. But there happen to be some people in this house that are deeply in love with sleep."

"Alright," Remus said, still way to peppy for a Saturday morning. "I guess I'll just toss this Hogwarts letter."

Suddenly, I was wide awake. "Don't you dare!" I sprang up, jumped out of bed, and ran downstairs.

When I reached the bottom of the stairs, Remus was standing in front of me, holding an envelope made of yellowish parchment, addressed in green ink, with no stamp, indicating that the letter had arrived by owl post.

Remus was smirking, holding the letter out to me. I grabbed it and turned it over excitedly, noticing the purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms: a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake all surrounding a large H.

I fervently ripped the envelope open and pulled out the letter.

I looked back up at Remus, beaming.

He smiled at me knowingly and said, "We'll go to Diagon Alley this afternoon,"
