I decided to try writing the sequel to Secrets. It's been hard... Secrets was the first story I finished in probably a year. I will try to finish this and Dark Dreams as soon as possible... (meaning whenever I get around to updating, I will update.) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ SECRETS. YOU WILL BE SO AMAZINGLY CONFUSED, AND DO NOT COMPLAIN TO ME FOR YOUR STUPIDITY!

Disclaimer: if you don't like this story, or any of my others, I must say that sadly, it isn't mine. Except Callia, Cala, Tate, Serena... ...

Chapter 1: A Summer's Sad Ending

Mrs. Potter looks at us, tears shining through her eyes. She studies me carefully, then my sisters. She, somehow, manages to get the three of us plus Serena in one hug. At once.

It is thoroughly amazing that I dodn't get hurt. I mean, a hug of all things! But, I don't try to worm my way out of the hug.

"I'll miss you four." She pauses, looking up. "Six, actually. Sorry, James. Sorry, Sirius."

I laugh. It still amazes me that everything worked out the way it had. If Sirius hadn't given me that paper on the last day of school, God only knows how my summer would have ended. Where we would have stayed, all of that...

It's a mystery.

Actually, more like a string of lucky coincidences. Cala thought.

What do you mean? I ask.

I mean, what would have happened if we were sorted into Hufflepuff? Or Ravenclaw? Or Slytherin? What if you didn't date Sirius? What if Jadon hadn't captured him? What if Julian-

Cala stops. She starts coughing.

I know she's only trying to cover up the fact she's on the verge of tears. Julian died last year, when we went on a trip to save Sirius from Jadon. Cala loved Julian.

I look at her. Nice try. Who are you sitting with on the train?

You?

You bet. And Tate. And Serena.

The four of us will rock the compartment. They will have to call someone to come and stop us for disturbing their peace. Tate reassures her.

Cala laughs. "Thanks, Mrs. Potter. If it weren't for you, we would have had no place to go. We might have had to stay in the Leaky Cauldron all summer."

"It was my pleasure. I would never have let that happen." Mrs. Potter smiles.

"Thank you, Sirius, for inviting us." I add.

"It was my pleasure." He wiggles his eyebrows suggestively.

"In your dreams." I say, with all of the venom in my voice that I can muster.

"I'll count on it."

I roll my eyes. I don't want to cause a scene here, on the platform. I start thinking about our summer, as the conductor yelled "All aboard! Hogwarts students! Let's go!"

Cala, Tate, Serena, James, and Sirius run to the train and board. I remain where I am.

I turn to Mrs. Potter. "We are forever in debt to you."

"Never."

I run into her arms... and hug her.

She hugs me back for a few seconds, but then pushes me away. "Go! You'll miss it!"

I sprint to the opening, and grab the hand of Sirius who is waiting for me to board. "Summer's over," he says as he pulls me onto the train.

I look at him. "But our seventh year is just beginning. And it will be... interesting... to say the least."

He looks back at me. "With you, everything's interesting."

I hope you liked it. It was pretty much just an introduction. A boring chapter. I felt in the mood to write, and had the inspiration... so... I guess that's it.
