" three," I gulped, the transformation was about to begin. I am a werewolf. " two," hair started to spurt everywhere on my body. The full moon was almost up. My Goddard, with a flick of his wand, locked bedroom door. Now I was full werewolf mode. I would do anything for human flesh. Anything. I slowly recovered form the transformation pain. Then I growled deeply.

The next day I awoke to a destroyed bedroom. I could not remember a thing from the night before. My God dad was also a werewolf. I became one when I a mere two-year-old. I had done this all my life but I still dreaded the fear of what might happen if my dad ever found out. You see, my dad was a convicted killer, and currently locked in Azkaban. Azkaban was a wizard prison, yes that's right I am a witch. The reason I didn't live with my mum was because she was murdered a couple of months after I was born.

I began to crawl off the floor and I winced at the pain that shot through my back. It really sucked to be me right now. Remus (my Godfather) also being a werewolf knew how to deal with that sort of stuff. I got over the pain and rushed down the stairs to eat my breakfast. In a few days I would be a third year at Hogwarts, I was so excited. "Morning, cub" Remus said to me. "mornin' , Remus" I said in response. I had lived with Remus since I was one and a half. Tap, Tap, Tap. An owl was at the window and I eagerly said, "I'll get it" I ran to the window, stuck a Knut into the pouch on the owls' leg and grabbed the Daily Prophet out of the owls' other leg. I unrolled the cover page and dropped it on the ground. It read 'Sirius Black escaped Azkaban' the first thought that popped into my head was, Dad, then I ran out of the house. I ran, and ran, and ran not sure of were to go. The cottage was small, but there was a lot of land. I ran to the edge of the property line, sat down and cried. Remus found me after a while, I was a very, very fast thirteen-year-old. "It will be okay, cub." Remus said, attempting to comfort me. "No, it won't be okay. Does expect me to forgive him? Cause if he does, he is wrong, he killed people, I can never forgive that. Worst, what if he meets me?" I said desperately for him trying to understand that I was embarrassed to be Mia Black. "Well, I guess I can tell you, I am the new DADA teacher." he told me, I grinned then I thought, " What about the issue?" I asked quietly. "Don't worry, cub, I will take the wolvesbane potion Professor Snape has agreed to make me too." Remus answered. "Oh, have you ever had it before?" I questioned. "No" he answered. " It is really helpful." I told Remus with a smile on my tear stained face. "Come on, lets go inside." Remus suggested. "Okay." I said. For the rest of the day we spoke no more of my father.

I awoke to sun shining on my face. It was September first and I was going to Hogwarts today. I laid there for a moment, thinking of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, my bff's. I really couldn't wait to see them. don't get me wrong I love Remus, but it was lovely to have friends my own age. I finialy crawled out of bed into my bathroom. My mop of black hair upon my head was a mess. I had dark purplish bags under my brown eyes that never seemed to go away, my pale skin made them look even worse. I had three scars on my face. If anyone ever questioned how I got my scars I always would say that when I was a baby I got into a car crash and my parents both died. But now, with my dad out of prision and all, I would be questioned even more because of my last name. I quickly jumped into the shower and the hot water relaxed me and made me forget about my dad. I got dressed fast so I could spend more time with my hair and mascara. My hair was black and wavy, but I hated the wave in it, so I straitened it almost every morning. Most girls just took a few seconds to put on mascara, but I liked it to be perfect, as it was the only make-up I wore. I cheeked my hair once more and rushed down the stairs to the kitchen and the smell of French toast tickled my nose and I grinned, I loved French toast. I walked into the kitchen and I saw a stack of the food piled up on a plate. I saw Remus with Daily Propht, he was drinking a mug of coffe that was blue.I grinned as I saw the remander of a bacon strip on his plate, he was trying to hide that he was eating meat, I was a veggitarian that nagged him that eating meat was wrong. " I see that," I said to him. He smiled and ate the last bite and said, " Oh, and what would that be?" he said smuggly. I plopped down beside him smiling, it was warm out and I could not wait to go outside. I woffed down my breakfast and ran upstairs so I could double cheek my back, then Remus and I would floo over.

I hated the floo network because I always scraped my elbows on the way out or in.I smiled when we arrived at Hogwarts. We arrived in a room I had never seen before. I relized that it must be Remus's privet room. "Here we are cub." Remus said. I smiled I was a girl that smiled a lot. " What should I do with my my trunk?" I asked. "We can go Gryffindor tower if you want." Remus answered. "Okay." I told him. I really loved my school. "Do you know the password?" I asked, because if you don't have the password the Fat Lady will not let you in. "Yes, don't worry, cub, it is flutterby" he informed me. "Thanks, Remus." with a kiss on his cheek I ran, (well as fast as possible with a trunk full of stuff) up four flights stairs to get to the portret of the Fat Lady, "flutterby" I said to the Fat Lady. "Is it already time?" she asked me. "No, its just that my Goddad is a teacher here now." "Okay" she said and swung open. I had never seen the common room so empty and quiet. I lugged my trunk to the door that had a sign that said 'Thridyears' opened the door and I saw four beds and choose my useal bed near the big window. I pulled out my uniform and went into the bathroom.

"Mia, are you ready?" I heard Rwmus called. "Yes I will be there in a second." I called back. I rushed down the stairs and found Remus waiting for me. "The train just arrived, come on, lets go down to the feast.

"Where were you, Mia?" Ron Weasley asked me. "Oh, I'll tell you later, were are Harry and Hermione?" I asked Ron. "McGonagall wanted a word with them. Did you hear, there were Dementors on the train and Harry passed out." Ron informed me. "Oh no, is he okay?" I asked a little too quickly. "Oh, yeah, he's fine."

Ron, as slow he was, had figured out that I like Harry. It was okay though because I knew he liked Hermione. We walked into the Great Hall.

Once the great was full, Dumbledore stood up and walked up to the podeum and tapped it once and silence fell in the room.I really did love Hogwarts, it was the best school in the world. I loved it here.

After all the first years had been sorted, Dumbledore stood up and said, "I have one word before the feast flibberbottom, now let the feast begin." I watched Ron's face light up with joy as big bowls of everything you could imagen appered. I giggled and I looked around for a veggie burger.

Just then, Harry and Hermione walked into the room. They sat down across from Ron and I. "So, who do you think the new DADA teacher is?" asked Harry. They knew that I lived with my Godfather but they still thought the car crash story. "I know, it's my god dad Remus." I staded.

Did you guys here that Sirius Black escaped Azkaban?" Ron asked and I looked away. I really hate my dad and the fact that he went and got himself arrested. Maybe I would tell thaem, but not now, not today. This was the way the feast went for the rest of the evening.

Finnialy, Headmaster Dumbledore stood up and said the rules about the Forbiden Forest and the other rules. At the end of the speech Malfoy came up to me. "Dumbledore wants to see you in his office the password is Kit-Kat, Black" he snarled.

I rushed out of the Great Hall as Dumbledore had already gone to his office. I waved to my friends and by doing so I almost ran over a first year that gave me a dirty look. I felt so bad, that always happens to me.

I stopped in front of the gargoyle and said, "Kit-Kat," it opened up to revele a hidden stair case. The gargole was at the top of the slowly revolving stair case and I jumped on. When it arrived at the top I got off and knocked on the door. Dumbledore answered with "Come in" I opened the door to find Dumbledore sitting at his desk and Remus was waiting for me. "Please sit down, Mia". Walked to the chairs and sat down. "Don't worry, Mia, you are not in trouble." I had never been to the Headmasters Office before and when I saw Remus with the 'sirus' look on his face I figured I was in deep trouble.

"We are here to talk about your Father"

I really dispised my father and what he did to all those poor people. I mean, really, who turns there best friend into You-Know-Who and then kills the man who confronted him. It was almost that time and the animal made my anger even scarey to deal with. Remus knew this, and sensing the still sensitive topic about my father, but his hands on my shoulders. "If you think that I think that my Father is inniocent, you are wrong." I told him 'cause I really did not want people to think I liked a mass-murder. "Ahh, yes, I guessed this when I herd the story about the car-crash. Even tough it seems most people belive this story, some don't.
