Disclaimer: I own nothing I tell you NOTHING. Sorry, just learning to deal
with the fact that I have nothing. I'll be fine. Sylvia belongs to Danelle
not me.
This chapter James and Remus go into their dysfunctional family situation,
Sirius meets an old friend from his chidhood, and Peter learns to cope with
being separated from his friends.
A/N: 'The world is quiet here' ((
Mum sent a howler last week after the incident. I guess it wasn't so bad being embarrassed in front of the whole school. But this week she did something that I'm still reeling from. She announced that she's getting married! My mother is getting married less than a year after dad died. What's worse is who she's getting married to. Roger VanHullsen give me a really bad feeling. As if Like he isn't who he says he is or that he is preparing to kill you. I'm not quite sure why. Angie says that dad always had the same reaction. I can't believe that. Dad was polite to everyone unless you really made him mad. John is still as much a control freak as ever. Even though Angie's the oldest John thinks that he's in charge. Anna just turned four today. I miss her. Mum says that she talks about Angie and me constantly. I'm a little worried about Angie. She looks sick again. She has ever since Dad died. Mum says that there's nothing to worry about, that she'll be fine, but I can tell when she's worried. Her brow furrows and she bites her lip a lot. John tells me that I don't know anything since I'm only 11. Gram wrote back and said she thought there might be something to my suspicions and that she'd talk to Mum. Gram is our only grandparent left. She's really cool about stuff and likes to give us kids stuff. Sirius is considered one her grandkids. Mostly because he sees more of our house and Gram's than of his own. I have to find a way to stop Mum from getting married.
Professor Snape Sr. must want me to fail. He put me with Frank Longbottom. Neither of knows what in the heck we're doing. I'm going to die! Why can't he put me with one of my friends so I can copy? They think that I'm just listening to their explanations and figuring it out. James is the only one who might know and he wouldn't rat on me. I'll probably blow up the dungeon
I got a letter from Mum today. Dad is still trying to get her to give me up to one of our relatives. Not that any of them would take. With my condition, people try to avoid me. If he thought he could get away with it without looking bad, he'd probably put me up for adoption, kick me out, or send me to a muggle orphanage. Take your pick. I'm a disappointment to him. He's been spending more and more time at work. He denies that I'm his real son. He says Mum didn't tell him she was pregnant until they were married and that he loved her so much and was so moved by her plight that he accepted the kid as his own unknowing of the problem it would give him later. He comes off looking like the injured hero and Mum looks like gutter trash. Mum won't be able to take much more abuse. After she had me she got extremely sick and never completely recovered. I hate what my father has done to her. I know she won't disclaim any of the lies because of me. She doesn't want him to do something that may hurt me in any way. I'd rather someone pushed him off a very high cliff.
Oh dear God. I saw her today. I had hoped never to have to deal with her ever again in my entire life. She evidently is in our house and in our year. I never saw before today. Most likely because I've spent most of my time in detention. I'll have the record for most detentions in a Hogwarts career or die trying. Of course, the latter is very possible; you never know when teachers will snap. Back to the original topic. What was it? Oh, yeah. Sylvia L. Hartly is at Hogwarts. She used to be a friend of mine back at muggle primary school. We didn't always get along. Erm, meaning we fought like cats and dogs every two seconds. She just breezed right by me and said "Hi, Sirius." Can you believe the nerve of that girl? For someone who always insulted me, picked on me, wouldn't tell me her middle name and never wrote me since she moved. I can't believe she would just waltz up and say hi to me. The nerve!
