((A/N- please comment! this chapter took a while...))
Days past and Sirius continued to mope around the house. He started packing some, but continued to think about his parents continuously nagging at him to pack more underwear, socks, and everything else. It was Saturday, the day before he would be leaving for Hogwarts. Marissa was up in Sirius's room packing for him. Sirius was in the study trying to find his Quidditch playbook. Even though he was the Keeper for the Gryffindor team, he had to know every play because he was the captain of the team. Finally, he found them next to the computer right in front of their family picture. He picked the photo up slowly, half smiling. The Morgan family was all in their formal cloths. His mother had her hair all up in curls with the crown on top, Father had his cane and crown, and him just standing right in front. His hair was parted to the side, and he had always hated that. Sirius picked up the picture and the playbooks and continued to his room. Marissa and Wallis were in there closing the trunk. br /br
"Wait. I have some more things," Sirius said walking in. Wallis opened the trunk; Sirius carefully placed the picture and play books into the trunk. br /br
"We have a surprise for you, your highness," Wallis said as Marissa grabbed a long, thin box from his closet and handed it to Sirius. br /br
"Open it, hunny," Marissa said as he read the card. It said: br /br
"To Our Son: Sirius. br /br
We thought you would need one of these for your fifth year at Hogwarts. br /br
We love you forever and eternity,
br
Mum and Dad " br /br
Sirius looked up at Wallis and Marissa. "They were planning on going to King's Cross station with you tomorrow and were going to give this to you there." Marissa said respectively; Sirius's eyes filled with tears, but not one dropped. He opened the box up finding to what had to be the most beautiful thing in his life right now. A Firebolt boom. He has always dreamed of owning one, but though people would continuously call him "Richy" due to the fact that a Firebolt is the most expensive and best riding broom there is. br /br
"This is wicked. Totally wicked," Sirius said examining it closely. The golden letters at the tip of the broom had Firebolt carved into it, and on the flip side, Sirius felt more lettering. Prince Sirius Duke Morgan - Love Mum and Dad. br /br
"Well, before you fall too deep in love," Wallis laughed, "do you want me to pack that for you?" br /br
"Yes, please," Sirius said handing his designer made Firebolt to Wallis who put it into its box and into Sirius's trunk. br /br
Sirius sat down on his bed with Wallis while Marissa went to get them all milk and cookies. "So," Wallis started, "you excited for the new school coming in from America?" br /br
"Yes, I guess so," Sirius said half lying. br /br
"Did you meet any new girls at Diagon Alley last week?" br /br
"Well," Sirius sighed, "sort of. I dropped my candy and then this gorgeous girl came over to help me with it. She was beautiful. Absolutely brilliant. Haven't seen anyone like her ever in my life." br /br
"Well, I'm sure everything will work out for you, your highness," Wallis said patting Sirius's back. "Just so you know, I packed your trumpet and guitar in your trunk along with all of your instruments' needs." br /br
"Thanks, Wallis," Sirius said as Marissa came back up with the cookies and milk. The rest of the day Sirius spent it outside in the barn with Godric and his owl named Toby. Sirius lay down on a bundle of hay. He thought about what his school year would be like. The new people might change it a little; he thought stroking Toby's feathers, especially if that girl is there. He smiled. He really liked the girl; even though he does not know one thing about her other than she is nice and absolutely gorgeous. He looked at the clock that was above Godric's stall. It read 8:45 PM. br /br
"Woah, I've been here that long?" He said to Toby who hooted for the reply. "Come on. I have to put you in your cage. Hogwarts tomorrow!" Sirius smiled to Toby who flew directly into his cage. Sirius locked the cage, and said goodbye to his black stallion. He walked out of the barn and looked up at the sky. Stars that he had never seen before brightly shown through the, for once, non-cloudy sky. Sirius continued walking to the house as Wallis was standing at the door waiting for him. br /br
"Have fun, your highness?" Wallis said opening the door; the two of them walked in, handed Toby to Wallis, and walked into the kitchen. br /br
"Yes, I did, I guess," Sirius said sitting down at the counter bar. br /br
"Can I get you anything, darling?" Marissa said walking in from the garage. br /br
"No, thanks. I think I'll pass. I'm just so excited about tomorrow!" Sirius smiled. br /br
"Well then, you get up to your room, pack some more, and hit the sack. You need your rest. I'll be waking you up at nine o'clock, okay?" Marissa said kissing his forehead. br /br
"All right. Night Wallis. Night Marissa." Sirius said walking up the stairs with Toby in hand. He walked into his room, finding his trunk where it had been all week with cloths coming out of it. He put Toby down on his nightstand and lay down on his king size bed. Sirius slowly fell into a deep sleep. br /br
"Rise and shine, Sirius," Marissa said opening his bedroom door; Sirius opened his eyes finding himself lying in his bed for the last time until next summer. He sat up, looking at himself in his dresser mirror. "Breakfast is ready whenever you need it," Marissa said sweetly closing his doors. Sirius slowly got out of bed and walked over to his dresser. He pulled out a pair of his favourite jeans - the ones with the holes purposely cut in them-, a Quidditch hoodie, and a Rasmus band t-shirt. He put all of them on and ventured down the stairway and into the kitchen. Sirius sat down at his bar seat at the counter, like he had always been doing. br /br
"Nervous?" Wallis said sitting next to Sirius and Marissa while they all ate their bacon, eggs, and home fries. br /br
"A little," Sirius lied; He was always nervous the day of Hogwarts. br /br
"Well, eat up," Marissa said putting her plate in the sink. "We're leaving in fifteen minutes." Sirius looked at the clock; it read 9:45. br /br
"Alright," Sirius confirmed wiping his mouth. The teenager left the kitchen and ran up to his bathroom. He grabbed a plastic bag from underneath the counter to put his toiletries in. He packed his toothbrush, toothpaste, comb - even though he never once used it -, gel for his hair, razor, and shaving cream. He took the bag to his room, put it in his trunk, and sat down on his bed. He lay there, thinking of the following year. He hoped that at least one of the new girls from America would like him, and hopefully finding a new best friend. br /br
"Come on, Sirius!" Marissa called up the stairs for him. "It's already 10:15! You'll miss the train!" br /br
With that, Sirius flew out of his bed, grabbed Toby and his trunk, and ran down the stairs with everything in hand. Wallis was at the bottom of the stairway with the door open. br /br
"Let me take that for you, your highness," Wallis said offering to take his trunk; Sirius gave it to him and went outside to the limo with Toby. Marissa was already in the front seat with a basket. br /br
"Here," she said turning around in the car as Sirius sat down and giving Sirius the basket. "It's filled with all of your favourite goodies." br /br
"Thanks, Marissa," Sirius said putting the basket next to Toby's cage. Wallis sat in the driver's seat and pulled out of the driveway. Sirius stared out his window, watching the castle and the dementors behind. br /br
The car ride was silent, besides whenever Marissa would turn a few times saying things like "Oh I'm going to miss you so much!" and "Write to us whenever you can." or "Just study every night, unlike last year." It was true. Sirius never studied, and he managed to just pass. He could remember his parents always saying "Now, Sirius. The Kingdom will not like a stupid Prince." He laughed. His parents knew nothing about how hard magic was to learn. He didn't mind, though, because he knew they were just caring. The normally 45 minute drive to King Cross's Train Station turned into a 35-minute drive. br /br
Wallis hopped out of the limo, opened the door for Sirius who grabbed Toby and the basket and got out of the car. The paparazzi were there, like always. Sirius smiled for some, but then shielded his face with the basket. Security guards came and escorted the paparazzi out of the area and took Sirius, Marissa, and Wallis to platform nine and three quarters. There was 10 minutes left before the train would depart from the platform. br /br
"Oh, Sirius, please take care of yourself, for my own sake!" She said hugging him. br /br
"I will, don't worry, Marissa." he confirmed letting go. br /br
"Be careful, your highness," Wallis said making 'careful' stand out then any other word. br /br
"I will, Wallis," Sirius promised. He gave each of his guardians one last hug and kiss before running into the barrier that took him to platform nine and three quarters. "Good-bye," he said as he ran into the barrier while pushing his cart that had Toby, his trunk, and the basket on. He came out the other side finding the beautiful Hogwarts Express. The train hadn't changed; it was still gigantic and red since last year. Sirius smiled; He even missed the train ride to Hogwarts. He walked closer to the train, grabbed his entire luggage off of the carrier, and brought it all on the train with him. He walked down the one hallway in the train, finding no empty compartments for him and his owl. Finally, the last compartment was free. He slid the glass door open and put everything in it. He sat down, trying to relax. He was on his way to his most favourite place on the whole earth. The train started moving; Sirius's stomach lurched with excitement. br /br
He sat there for the first hour, staring out the window as if he had never seen it before. Sirius pulled out his guitar from his trunk and started playing. He started playing his favourite song; "Absolutely" by Nine Days. Sirius had the singing voice of a band that had girls chasing after them from all angles. But the only thing is that nobody knew Sirius could sing; not a living soul. His mother did, but only because she taught him how to sing and play guitar on their long plane rides to and from other countries. br /br
"Hello," said a familiar voice; Sirius looked up finding the girl from the candy shoppe in Diagon Alley. He froze. "Remember me?" She asked. br /br
"Uh...yeah. Of course I do," Sirius smiled. br /br
"So you play guitar and sing?" She asked. br /br
"Yeah, yeah I do. My mother taught me. I also play the trumpet." Sirius answered still in shock of seeing her. br /br
"That's awesome. I wish I could sing," the girl sighed. "I can play guitar amazingly, but I just can't sing if my life depended on it!" She laughed; Sirius smiled. br /br
"I'm sure you're not as bad as you think," Sirius said; she smiled. br /br
"Thanks, but I am. I don't even sing to songs at dances when you can't even hear me," the girl laughed. Sirius noticed she had a northern accent. br /br
"Wanna sit down?" Sirius asked. br /br
"Yeah, sure. That'd be great," the girl said sitting down across from him. "So, I never caught your name..." br /br
"It's Sirius. Sirius Morgan. And you?" Sirius asked; He wasn't even going to mention the fact that he is now a prince and that his grandparents are King and Queen and that his parents had just disappeared exactly one week and a day ago. br /br
She paused. "Blake Snider," Blake said shaking Sirius's hand. "So, you play Quidditch, I hear?" br /br
"Yeah. Yeah I do. Keeper, as a matter of fact. And I'm captain for the Gryffindor team." Sirius confirmed. br /br
"Oh that's awesome. I'm- well I guess used to be- a Chaser. Not sure if there are any spots left though since I'm just joining at an odd time." br /br
"Well, if you get into Gryffindor, we're having tryouts the second week of school for a Chaser and a Beater. But that's if you get into Gryffindor," Sirius said sadly. What if she did not get sorted into Gryffindor? Would things change between them? br /br
"I hope I do. That'd be really awesome 'cause then we'd be together," Blake blushed. "I mean, that way if I get lost, I'll have somebody with me. Yeah..." br /br
"Yeah," Sirius smiled at her. "I got lost my first year there. It was kinda scary because I went on this floor we weren't supposed to be on and yeah. Detention." Sirius and Blake laughed. br /br
"So, whom do you hang around with at Hogwarts? Friends, girlfriend? Anyone?" Blake asked curiously. br /br
"Well," Sirius thought. "No one this year, I guess. My best friend died in an accident in the beginning of the summer." br /br
"Oh, my," she said holding Sirius's hand. "I'm terribly sorry." br /br
"Thanks," he tried to smile, but nothing came out. Sirius did not know what to say. There was a knock on the door. Sirius looked up, seeing a small boy peering in. br /br
"Oh, Jason." Blake said opening up the door. "What you doing here, bud?" She asked the boy. br /br
"You said you'd be right back," the boy said. br /br
"Oh, I'm sorry, Jason. I just had to come and visit a..." She looked at Sirius. "A... A boy I met at Diagon Alley last weekend." br /br
"Hi, I'm Jason," he said shaking Sirius's hand. br /br
"I'm Sirius. Nice to meet you, Jason. How old are you?" br /br
"Eleven. It's my first year as a wizard," he said proudly. br /br
"That's brilliant! You'll love it here at Hogwarts. Promise." Sirius said brightly. br /br
"Cool!" He smiled. "Well, I better be going. Just had to find you, sis." Jason said standing up and walking out of the compartment. br /br
"He's a cute kid." Sirius said. br /br
"Yeah...Quite annoying, but you get used to them." br /br
"Them? How many siblings do you have?" Sirius asked. br /br
"Well let's see..." Blake started. "There's my little twin sisters Jamie and Lucky who are ten, Jason, Oliver who is fourteen, and then my twin brother Andrew. So I'm one of six." br /br
"Woah. That's awesome. It's just me in my family." Sirius said sadly. br /br
"Lucky. You must spend a lot of time with your parents," She said brightly. "I don't." br /br
"Yeah...I guess I do," Sirius lied. He wanted to tell her, but he thought too deeply in the situation. He might just start liking him because he was a prince. He hated girls like those. All he wanted was somebody who liked him for him, and not being royal. br /br
"Blake! Blake!" Jason came running back. br /br
"What do you want?" she asked. br /br
"We're almost there! We gotta get changed into our uniforms now!" He said giggling while grabbing her hand and running back to their compartment. br /br
"See you soon, Sirius!" She called running out of the compartment. He smiled. He really liked this girl. Sirius closed the compartment door and opened up the trunk. He pulled out his uniform, stripped down to his SpongeBob boxers, and slid into his Gryffindor uniform. Sirius could feel all happiness running back into his body. He was so excited he could not stop smiling. He put his guitar back into his trunk along with his clothes he had been wearing. Fifteen minutes flew by as he stared anxiously out of his window. br /br
"Look everybody!" a young boy screamed from the corridor outside of Sirius's compartment; Sirius went out to see the commotion "We're here!" Every student on that part of the train flew out of their compartments to glare out of a window to see Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. br /br
The train came to a halt at the platform. Every student ran back into their compartment, grabbed their trunks, and was sent off the train. Sirius handed the train attendant his trunk and owl like everyone else did. First years and those coming from America went with Hagrid like they always did. Sirius tried to find Blake in the crowd, but could not see her. Unfortunately, he saw Courtney Oswald and her snotty friends. She smiled at him flirtatiously; He rolled his eyes. The crowd of students moved up to the horse-less carriages. Sirius could not find anyone he knew, so he hopped in an empty one towards the front. br /br
"This one's good!" He heard somebody say. Not even a minuet later, three boys in his year entered the carriage. First came in an African American boy with dark spiral- curly hair that reached his shoulders with hazel eyes. It was Kevin McKinley with his two friends Jack Handel and George Fritzges. br /br
"So, those girls from America are pretty nice, if ya know what I mean!" Kevin said laughing. "That one girl Blake - she's a nice one!" br /br
"Oh, and what about Brittany." Jack said. "I call her," he laughed. br /br
"She already has a boyfriend, Jack. His name is like, Duncan Brightly or something from America." George said smartly. br /br
"Yeah Blake is nice..." Sirius said sweetly; he started blushing. br /br
"I'm taking it that you have already met her?" Kevin asked. br /br
"Yeah, yeah I did in Diagon Alley last weekend, but I didn't know it was her until today on the train. She came and visited me." He smiled greatly. br /br
"Okay so now Blake is off limits!" George laughed. The carriage stopped; George looked out the window. "We're here, boys!" He said happily. The four boys piled out of the carriage and into the warm castle. They entered the Entrance Hall where Professor Dumbledore stood at the top of the stairs with many of the other teachers at Hogwarts. It took around ten minutes for everyone from second years to seventh years to get out of the carriages and into the Entrance Hall. Once everyone was in, Dumbledore started talking. br /br
"Welcome back, students!" He said greatly. "First, Gryffindors report to the Great Hall; next will be Hufflepuff, followed by Slytherin, and lastly Ravenclaw." br /br
"See you guys around," Sirius said leaving the boys from Hufflepuff. br /br
Kevin called out, "See you around, Princey!" Sirius laughed at the thought of people calling him Princey. It, for some reason, felt better than being called Rich". He followed the group of Gryffindors into the Great Hall. The Great Hall looked just like it always had the first day of school: candles floating in the ceiling and the four gigantically long tables set so perfectly for students. br /br
Sirius found himself sitting in his regular seat next to his regular Quidditch team people. Allison Channing, one of the remaining Chasers, sat across from him. She had long blonde hair that reached halfway down her back. On his right was Steven Herman, a Beater, who had curly blonde hair. Next to Steven sat his girlfriend/other Chaser Beverly Reinard who had gorgeous brown hair that was always pulled back in a ponytail. On Allison's left sat their Seeker John Parente, a boy with jet-black hair, who just started Hogwarts last year because the Sicilian Quidditch was not very popular nor good. br /br
"So how was everyone's summer?" Allison asked as the rest of the school sat down at their tables. br /br
"It was brilliant!" Beverly announced hyperly; Beverly, or Bev, always had energy in her that brightened up the team's spirit. br /br
"Mine was alright," John said gloomily. He was always the quiet one, besides at Quidditch matches. br /br
"It was perfect," Steven said kissing Bev's cheek. Sirius had always felt so left out whenever they would kiss. He never had a girlfriend before. br /br
"Sirius how was your summer?" Bev asked as the last House came into the Great Hall. br /br
"Interesting, sad, happy, tiring, miserable- everything." Sirius said; he could feel his friends' sadness for him. br /br
"I'm sorry for all of your loses," Allison finally said. br /br
"Thanks," Sirius said staring at his empty plate. Suddenly, the doors of the Great Hall opened widely. Professor McGonagall leaded the way of the newcomers to the front of the Great Hall where the sorting hat laid on the stool. He turned around and smiled at them as their wide eyes were looking all around the gigantic dinning hall. Followed by the first years came in the Americans, only thirty-five Americans followed the first years. He caught Blake's eyes; she smiled at him as he smiled back. br /br
"Hey Blake," Sirius said as she walked by; she waved and smiled. He watched her walk up to the front. He could not help but stare at her. She walked perfectly, like an angel, if angels even walked, Sirius thought. br /br
The new students all crowded around the front of the Great Hall where the sorting hat lay. "Welcome to Hogwarts!" Professor McGonagall stated proudly. "When I call your name, please come forward and sit on the stool. I will place the Sorting Hat on your head and it will tell you which House you will be in." Everyone got quiet. "Adams, Kyle." She called. He was placed into Hufflepuff. The list continued on with Arnold Bellis to Jason Snider. Jason was placed in Gryffindor. The names were continued to be called when the last name was Brandon Zimmerman. The only ones left were the students from America. br /br
"I will now start with the second years from Dallas," Professor McGonagall stated. "Alles, Matthew." Matthew was placed in Slytherin, followed by Miranda Coscia in Hufflepuff, John Hebda in Ravenclaw, Danielle Shaver in Gryffindor, and lastly Corey Yedesko into Hufflepuff. Next were the third years which one boy and one girl went to Slytherin, a girl and a boy into Hufflepuff, a boy in Ravenclaw, and one girl in Gryffindor. For the fourth years, Alexis Arnold was placed into Slytherin, Jacob Box went to Ravenclaw, Alex Danko went to Hufflepuff, Timothy Reinard went to Slytherin, and Oliver Snider, who is Blake's brother, was sent to Gryffindor. br /br
Next came the fifth years. Sirius became very excited because he knew Blake was in that year. Christian Amico was placed in Slytherin along with his twin sister Alicia. Bryan Daube was sorted into Ravenclaw, Darla Frania went to Hufflepuff, and next was Andrew Snider, who is Blake's twin brother, was sent to Gryffindor. Sirius got so excited that he was almost off his seat. br /br
"Snider, Halcyon," Professor McGonagall announced; Blake walked to the stool and sat down. Halcyon? br /br
Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on Blake's head. "Your brothers all made it into Gryffindor...as well as YOU!" Cheers from Gryffindor filled the Great Hall. Sirius could not have been any happier. The rest of the years were sorted into their house, but Sirius couldn't listen to who was in which House. He was so excited that Blake, or Halcyon, was placed in Gryffindor. br /br
The feast began once everyone was sorted into his or her Houses. Soon, food appeared all on the tables. Sirius dug into mash potatoes, chicken, turkey, corn, biscuits, jell-O, and everything you could possibly think of. Conversations of their summer adventures were being talked about at his section of the Gryffindor table. br /br
"After going to the Netherlands, we decided to go to the Grand Canyon in the United States," Bev stated happily. She was one of the richest student's in the grade and went everywhere for vacation. br /br
"I stayed at home this summer. Nothing quite exciting happened," John said eating a biscuit. br /br
"When does anything exciting happen with you, John?" Sirius joked with his friends. br /br
"Ha-ha, Sirius," John said sarcastically. "So anyway, when are we having try-outs to take Colby's and Amaris's spots?" The table fell silent. Colby was the one who died this past summer. br /br
"End of this week," Allison said quietly. Sirius's eyes began to fill up; it was the first time Colby did not sit by Sirius at the Welcoming Feast. br /br
"So Sirius," Allison said trying to change the subject, "what did you do this summer?" br /br
"Road Godric a lot, slept a lot, made up some new plays for us, took the boat out some, went to Germany for a weekend with Marissa and Wallis, and that's about it," He answered eating his turkey. "What did you do?" br /br
"Well," Allison said, "my family and I took a tropical trip to the Caribbean for the entire summer." She poked her sunburned face, which made a white mark appear and then turn right back to red. The rest of the feast was talked about plays for the team, new uniforms, new brooms, and the practicing schedule. Sirius, being the captain, was supposed to pay attention, but couldn't. He should have, but he was too busy staring at Blake. br /br
"Sirius? Yo dude! Wake up!" Steven said as he put his fingers in his water and sprinkled the water on Sirius's face; Sirius blinked. br /br
"What?" He said curiously; all of his friends stared at him, glanced at Blake, and then back to him. br /br
"You like her, don't you, Sirius?" Steven asked him. br /br
"Well," he said glancing down at her, "I think she's beautiful. She plays the guitar, was a Chaser at her old school, she's smart, sweet, nice, kind, beautiful..." He was off staring again. br /br
"Sirius!" Steven said throwing water on his face; this time is was less than half of his glass of water. Sirius grabbed his napkin and wiped his face off. "Wait...you said she's a Chaser?" br /br
"Uh… Yeah," Sirius confirmed. br /br
"And we have a Chaser spot open, Sirius," Allison said happily. br /br
"And you like her!" John laughed. br /br
"And she's a babe!" Steven laughed with John and Sirius; Bev did not look so happy with that. "Sorry, but not as hot as my babe!" Steven said kissing Bev's cheek. br /br
"What we mean is that you should ask her to tryout," Allison said. "If you like her that much you should." br /br
"I will," Sirius said taking a bite of his blueberry pie. br /br
"Attention, everyone," Professor Dumbledore called from the staff table; the room fell silent. "I have some important announcements to make. To begin, I am very thankful that we have our American students here with us. I am glad that they are here with their different backgrounds to share with us. I know you all will make them feel at home. Next, tryouts for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team will be held on Wednesday, Hufflepuff on Thursday, Gryffindor on Friday, and Slytherin on Saturday. One more thing, because of this year having the Americans joining this year, we will be having a Welcome Ball next Saturday night from eight o'clock to midnight. Please dress in your dress robes and you will need a date. If you do not have a date, not a problem. Coming alone is always fashionable!" Dumbledore laughed with the school. "One more thing, Professor McGonagall will be having dancing lessons from seven o'clock to nine o'clock every day this week starting tomorrow. Please sign up in your common rooms. Prefects, please show the new students and first years to the common rooms. You are now dismissed." Students all swarmed out of the Great Hall with Prefects in the front showing the First Years and new comers where everything is. br /br
"So we're having a Welcome Ball this year," John said as the group of them, minus Steven and Allison because they are Prefects, walked into the Gryffindor common room. br /br
"Yes, should be brilliant," Bev said as they all sat down on the couches and chairs by the fire. "I'm excited." br /br
"Me too..." Sirius said. "Let's go up to the dorm to see who's got which bed. C'mon guys," Sirius said standing up with John. The boys all walked up the stairs to the boys' dormitory. Sirius found his trunk and owl Toby by his bed which he had since his first year at Hogwarts. br /br
"Sweet!" John said jumping on his bed. Everyone had the same bed as years before. Sirius and John walked over to the bed that had once resigned to Colby finding a trunk that belonged to Andrew Snider. "Isn't that Blake's brother's stuff?" Steven asked. br /br
"Yeah it is," Sirius replied. Sirius started unpacking his items from his trunk. He let Toby out of his cage. The owl immediately flew out of the dormitory to go to the Owlry. Soon, Steven and Andrew joined. The rest of the night was spent playing games like Exploding Snapps and talking about the new Americans. br /br
"Alicia Amico is damn fine!" John laughed with everyone. br /br
"You think that now, John," Andrew said laughing. "She's a jerk. Why else do you think she's in Slytherin!" br /br
"Good point..." John agreed. "How's Darla Frania?" br /br
"She's...well," Andrew laughed. "She's too smart for a boyfriend. Jacob Box who's a fourth year asked her out. She gave him a ten-minute lecture on that her body wasn't ready to have a boyfriend and that if it was that you had to have a higher or same GPA as her. I don't think you would like her, John," Andrew laughed with everyone. br /br
"So Andrew," Steven said eating Berty Bott's Every Flavored Jelly Beans, "who is your sister diggin' these days?" br /br
"She has a boyfriend. He's a sixth year," Andrew said; John and Steven both looked right at Sirius whose heart had dropped to the floor, got stepped on, and sat there to rot. br /br
"A boyfriend?" Steven asked; Andrew nodded in reply. br /br
"Yeah, his name is Scott Smith. He's tall, long hair that's blonde and wavy, in Gryffindor, and played Beater at Dallas. He's a nice, smart, jock." Andrew said. br /br
"That's... great." Sirius said quietly. br /br
"Well would you look at the time…" Steven said looking at his watch. "Already one o'clock. We better hit the sack." br /br
"Yeah," Sirius answered getting under his covers. "Night, everyone." Sirius lay there on his back and listened to his friends snore the night off. 'Why did Steven have to ask such a question?' 'Why did Andrew have to answer so honestly? Couldn't he have just lied?' Questions like that continued to float all around Sirius's head as he fell into a deep sleep.
