Chapter 1- Flashback to 1st Year
"Now remember Cyris, always Slytherin, don't befriend the wrong sort, remember the pride of the Black family, don't on any circumstances let anyone humble you, and…." "I know hold myself with dignity and don't give Severus a hard time." I interrupted "That's my daddy's girl." Her father replied "Dad…. Mom you're squishing me!" I squealed "Sorry love… We're going to miss you." They apologized "Yeah yeah, yeah." I replied trying to catch my breath after being sandwiched between my parents.
On the Train (Cyris Point of View)
"Is this compartment open?" asked a shy blonde "Yep!" I replied "The name's Cyris, Cyris Black." "Nice to meet you." replied the blonde "My name is Rema." "Cool name! Do you know what house you want to be in?" I asked "Gryffindor definitely Gryffindor!!" replied Rema with enthusiasm "Really me too! Although my parents want me in Slytherin…. I'm the rebel of the family!" I replied "Why do your parents want you in that horrid house!?!?!" asked Rema both shocked and curious "Well my family has been in that house for generations." I said "Oh…. So are you excited for Hogwarts???" asked Rema "Definitely!" I exclaimed "I couldn't wait to get out of the house and to be an independent woman!" "Really I've always been dependent on my parents." replied Rema "Well if it isn't my rebel cousin….and who is this? asked an overly bossy Bellatrix "See you still haven't learned your manners of knocking and not interrupting conversations Trix." I retaliated "On the nickname basis are we Cyris? Well two can play that game! And yet you still haven't introduced me to little blondy over here!" "She's none of your concern….so I suggest you get out of my compartment before you receive a broken nose!!" I replied angrily, I didn't like my cousin at all she reminded me of everyone in my family…. dark, snooty, bossy, mean, and not to mention all of them were Slytherins and Bellatrix was determined to be like the rest along with her sister Narcissa. "Well I know when I'm no longer wanted nor needed….see you around Cyris ….blondy!" Bellatrix snickered and left the compartment
"Umph….Jamie don't push me this trunk is heavy!" shrieked a passing blonde "Sorry Evie didn't mean to…..you know I'm a major klutz." replied what seemed to be the blonde's copycat "This compartment open for two more bums?" asked the blonde "Yep! Go ahead and come on in!" I replied "The names Cyris…..Cyris Black and this is Rema Lupin….who are you?" I asked "The names Evie Potter….oh and this is my twin Jamie Potter! replied the blonde "Nice to make your acquaintances!" said Rema "Umph! Oh the train will be reaching Hogsmeade soon we should change into our robes." I said with eagerness
"Watch it Potters!" exclaimed Lucius Malfoy "Shut up filthy prick!" Evie retaliated "How do you know Malfoy?" I asked "We bumped into him at the Leaky Cauldron and our dads started a fight at the bar…. Let's just say we joined in and so did the prick and his girlfriend, and it didn't turn out pretty!" exclaimed Jamie "Eww!" replied a weirded out Rema "Alright Ladies! Let's go change!" I exclaimed "Umm…Cyris what are you doing????" asked Rema looking at you "I'm bending the rules on the dress code." I replied with an untucked shirt, loose tie, and a shorter than wanted skirt "At least put the skirt back in order you don't wanted to get sorted looking like a slut…do you?" asked Jamie and Evie in unison "Ugh…Fine!" I replied and fixed my skirt "Alright everybody out!" exclaimed a gigantic hairy man "The names Agrid! I'm gamekeeper ere at Ogwarts! If you'll please foller me I'll derect you on yur way!" I reached some boats and you four climbed into one. I reached what was a large castle and I knew it was Hogwarts! "Follow me dears!" said an old woman "Come with me to be sorted!" she said "Black, Adromeda!" asked the woman and your cousin stepped forward. The lady placed what looked to be a very odd hat on her head "Ah Yes another Black you take after your father very brave and yet smart…..better be….Ravenclaw!" the hat yelled Everyone cheered at the Ravenclaw table "Nott, Henry!" said the lady No more than a second and the hat exclaimed Slytherin! Then your cousin Bellatrix and Narcissa went and were put in Slytherin. Then Rema who no doubt was put in Gryffindor. Then Jamie and Evie and of course they were in Gryffindor. Then went a Ryan Abott put in Ravenclaw and a girl named Roxanne Laffey was put in Hufflepuff. Then went Lucius Malfoy and he was put in Slytherin. Then came your turn. Once the hat was put on your head it said "Difficult you've got brilliance and knowledge for Ravenclaw, yet the compassion of a Hufflepuff, the cunning of a Slytherin, and yet such strange traits, bravery and glory of a Gryffindor. I should probably put you in Slytherin, yet you are too brave for such a cowardly house… better be….Gryffindor!" Everyone screamed and hollered at the Gryffindor table, I looked over at Bellatrix and she was giving me a death glare. I knew from that moment on that my life was going to be very different!
