Private Property of Vera Black

Hello readers,
I have read a lot of stories about James' sister or Remus' sister falling in love with Sirius Black. And I definitely love them, I just think Sirius having a little sister will be an excellent twist. I could not for the life of me find a better nickname for Sirius and Regulus, but I refuse to resort to the popular ones, Reg/Reggie/Siri. Just ew. By the way, everything that looks like it's familiar, I assure you, it probably came from JK Rowling. I probably only own 15% of the characters.

Firstly, I want to thank all my reviewers!

~ dancingtothebeatles: Thanks for the review! I think if you look at the top of the story, near the rating it should say Remus/OC...I would NEVER EVER EVER make James fall in love with anyone other than Lily! So yeah, it's about Remus and Vera. That's why he had the diaries. Well thanks! Read on!

~angelvan105: Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you like the idea! And I'm sorry I'm writing late...but school is a constant I-hate-you-but-I-still-have-to-do-all-the-homework!

~Random person who put Reviewer: Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you like the name Vera, I think it's pretty too. And don't worry, after this, the Sirius of Book 5 will be GONE! (for the most part!)

Finally, Favoriters and Alerters! Thanks:

Beware, I was drinking Starbucks while writing so if she sounds hyper, sorry, that's just me... Anyways, to the story!

After the welcoming feast
Of course this would happen to me. After all the possibilities I had envisioned myself in, I could have sworn Hufflepuff never crossed my mind.

Just kidding, no, I am definitely not a Hufflepuff, no offense to them of course. The sorting was really confusing. It went a little like this:

I skipped off the train, walking besides Relus. Sirus wanted to introduce me to his friends, but I knew that if I had gotten into Slytherin, not only would I disappoint him, but I would also disappoint his friends. So I knew sitting with Relus wouldn't be that bad. It was just the fact that he was so sure that Slytherin was our destiny that made me want to cry.

"First years! First years!" Professor McGonagall led us to boats that would take us across a beautiful lake. I knew all the teachers names and faces already. When Sirus came back for winter holidays, we made him put a memory of all the teachers into a vial so we could see who they were.

Relus and I nervously stepped into the boat. Another boy and girl sat with us. The boy, Henry Abbott told us that his family had been in Hufflepuff for generations. Relus sneered and I knew that I had to stop myself from doing it to. It was just a habit! The girl was Adele Fuentes, she had lived in Spain all her life, even though her parents were British. She had been accepted into Beauxbotons as well, but her Muggle Born parents wanted her to stay in the UK.

I knew that Relus was probably puking, but gosh that's so rude!

"My name's Vera Black. Nice to meet you!" I exclaimed, mock shaking hands with them. They laughed and tried to shake Relus' hand too but he just looked disgusted. "He's...got personal bubble issues. I'm sorry about that. This is my twin Regulus!"

"Well it's nice to meet you too. Oh looks like we are here!" Adele called before jumping out of the boat and helping me out. Unfortunately, my foot slipped and I tripped right into, oh just my luck, Sirus and his friends. He fell over with a curse.

"Ah, Sirius look at you, this little girl was able to push you down?" A boy with messy black hair, hazel eyes, and ugly glasses mocked. So this was the infamous James Potter, Sirius had told us all about his friends.

"I'll have you know, I am his sister. And I'm not all that little! I'm actually only one year younger than you!" I was pissed. Sirus looked at me, surprised. "Oh fine, only for you brother." I knew he wouldn't be too happy if I made enemies of his friends. "I'm Vera Black, pleased to meet you." I smiled at him mockingly and then looked at the rest of the group.

Remus Lupin looked just as tired and scarred as Sirus told us. But he had really pretty eyes, so I'm sure that compensated! Peter had watery eyes and was a little shorter than me, but he looked nice so whatever. Before I could introduce myself to the rest of them, Sirius took over.

"What's wrong Regulus, trying to stand with the rest of the slimy Slytherins?" I glanced behind me, Relus was nowhere to be found. Sirus pointed him out, he was trying to join their group. I sighed, there's no changing that. "Oh well Vera, I know you'll live up to your obviously much better brother's reputation. Now I have to go sit down. But good luck!" Sirus left with a wave as his friends gave me the "boy nod".

"Abbot, Henry!" He walked up tentatively up to the hat. "Hufflepuff!" darn, looks like he's keeping tradition alive! A few more people went. Then it was Relus' turn.

"Black, Regulus!" all the Slytherins cheered while the others just glared. The hat didn't even touch his head when it screamed, "SLYTHERIN!" Sirius groaned. I gave Relus a tight smile before it was my turn...

"Black, Vera!" The Slytherins cheered, but Sirus got all the Gryffindors to cheer too. This made the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws at least politely clap for me. I walked up, wondering where the heck I would be put.

"Well well, my first doubtful Black! All the others knew they wanted to be in Slytherin, except for your brother of course. You have no idea though? Ok let's see, you are very intelligent, but compared to your bravery, I'd have to say courage overrules. You'll do great things with your brother! GRYFFINDOR!" I laughed as I stared into Sirus' proud face. Even though I had disappointed every person in my family, Sirus' face made it so perfectly worth it. I just hope the others will understand...

"You keep a diary Vera?" Adele looked amused. She had been placed here too. It was fantastic!

"Hey! It was a birthday present. My cousins told me I could keep the kitten, Buttercup, only if I kept up with it." I defended myself, knowing my face was red. I got embarrassed too easily. That made Mommy really mad. Oh no! Mommy can't possibly send me a howler! I shot out of bed and ran out the door.

"Where are you going?" Adele asked.

"Brother!" I sputtered before running down to the boy's staircase. I took a deep breathe before climbing up their stairs and knocking on the door. "Sirus! Sirus!" I called.

"What are you doing out here?" James opened the door, surprised. I didn't even answer just ran in with my hand over my eyes.

"Ewww! My eyes! My eyes! I've been scarred for life. Sirus! What the heck is up with stupid boys! Don't you guys know how to put a shirt on before opening the door?" I exclaimed, slamming right into the bed. Remus, who was in the top bunk fell right out of the bed and hit the ground. They all roared with laughter.

"Ok, Vera. What in Merlin's name are you doing in here? Two, Remus, you are that weak that Vera could push you off the bed by just hitting it? Three, James put a shirt on!" Sirus ordered. He disappeared into the bathroom as I tried to apologize to Remus.

"Oh Sirus, will she send me a howler?" I was so scared! Public humiliation just because I didn't get into Slytherin.

"Oh." He looked at me calmly. "Come on, let's go down and talk about the consequences of being a Black in Gryffindor." He led me out the door into the Common Room and I hoped that I didn't regret making it in here.

We talked for what felt like hours and hours. Granted I was still afraid of dying a very painful death at the hands of my parents, Sirus was here. I knew he would protect me forever, so why should I worry?

When I finally returned to the dorms, the excitement of Hogwarts was calming down. I finally met the rest of my dormmates.

"Hey everyone, I'm Vera Black." I waved as I walked in.

"Well you already know me, but that's Selene Roberts Alice Prewitt, and Rochelle Silvers." Adele explained. I smile briefly and fell into bed with my normal clothes still on.

"Girls, I have a feelings this will be a really long seven years." I sighed.

So yeah here is Chapter 2. I know I quickly introduced Selene, Alice, Rochelle, and Adele, but I'll do a character description in the next chapter. So I am posting pictures of how I imagine all of them to look, like when they are older you know? So take a look on my profile!
