Authors note: Aaaand here's chapter nine like I promised.(quote:'You can do anything if you have enough nerve')There's a really good plot twist in stood for you. Enjoy!

Sirius watched as James left the room slowly so he wouldn't look too suspicious. He sighed and went to bed since it was already dark out. He hoped James didn't do anything stupid like Sirius sometimes did out of anger or fear.

In the morning...

Sirius yawned widely and tumbled out of bed,blowing a stray strand of hair out of his eyes. As usual,he took an extra long amount of time to get dressed. After extracting his tie from under his bed and his jumper from between his sheets he went down to breakfast. He sat down with the marauders as usual and noticed that James was absent. He asked Remus,because he knew everything about everything, where James was and his reply sounded just as worried.

"I don't know. He wasn't in the dormitory when I woke up and wasn't in the great hall when I came down for breakfast. Sirius where are you going? You haven't ate a thing.."

"I'm not hungry so I'm going to get my bag since I left it on my bed. See you in class" and he left and made his way up to his dormitory to get his bag. It was on the floor on the foot of his bed and as he went to get it he saw something lying on his pillow. It was an envelope. He picked it up and took out the letter. It read:

Dear Sirius,

I know your wondering who this is from but your probably getting a vibe its from me anyway. If your wondering why you can't see me around at Hogwarts it's because I left this morning. You can check my bed to see my stuff isn't there anymore if you don't believe me. I don't really know how to explain why I'm gone but I'll try my best to make you understand. You see, remember that stupid nickname you gave me yeah? And how it always annoyed me sooooo much yeah? Well it only annoyed me because my name isn't James. I know your probably feeling like whaaaaat so let me explain. My name actually is Jamie and not James. I said the nickname annoys me because it's a girls name and I am a girl. This must be pretty hard to believe at the moment so if you think I'm lying I understand. So basically, when every witch or wizard is little they show little bursts of uncontrollable magic at around five or six don't they? Well I showed mine a lot earlier and most of it was dark magic so it worried some people at the ministry. They thought I was going to be a dark kid when I grew up so they wanted to move me somewhere far away from here. In an effort to keep me,my mum changed me to a boy and gave me the name James so the aurors wouldn't recognise me straight away. I got used to it and actually started acting like a boy too. I even went to Hogwarts as a boy. My name is actually Jamie Potter. The Jamie Potter that dissappeared years ago. I didn't disappear,I just changed so no one recognised me. If you ever see me at Hogwarts again you won't recognise me. If I want you to I will show you some sort of sign it's me. I hope you understand why you might never see me again.

-Jamie Louis Potter

"NO!!!!" Sirius shouted out loud and heard footsteps pounding up the stairs. He hit the post of his bed with his hand out of anger, creating a large crack and felt blood pouring down his arm. He sank on to his bed,still clutching the letter and shook his head repeatedly, not wanting to believe what he saw at all. He didnt look up when Remus and Peter burst in,took one look at him and almost screamed. He didn't say a word but shook his head again and held out the letter for them to read. While they read and re-read the letter tears started to pour down his cheeks and he didn't even bother to wipe them away. When they were done they sat down,one on either side of him,and sat in complete silence for a moment or two. Then Remus spoke into the extremely thick silence.

"But...how could we never notice...she never showed a single sign of being what she is. We could have stopped her from going if we noticed..what have we done...?" Nobody knew how to answer. They all felt like they had done the least to help and therefore they should feel the worst about it. After a while Peter spoke up,trying to clearly get their mind off of the situation.

"We've got to go...we can't stay here forever. We missed potions which we will pay hell for afterwards but if we leave now we can make it to our next class right on time." He and Remus got up to leave but Sirius stayed where he was,murmuring into his knees which were drawn up to his chest now.

"Y-you two go. I-I'm not coming t-today. Just tell them I'm i-i-ill or whatever but I-I-I'm not going to c-c-class today at a-all." After trying to pester Sirius to come with no good result they left,leaving him to sit and wallow in eternal sadness.
