Um.....this is chapter 2. kinda. Yeah it is. Stop contradicting me little
people in my head. *ahem* yeah, not many reviews but that's ok. I care not.
Simply because that's who I am. Anyways, on with the chapter!!!
Chapter 2. The Foreign Exchange Students
After breakfast, and listening to the foreigners talk, I got up to head to Transfiguration. At the end of the table I saw James, Remus, and Peter do the same. They didn't even glance at me. A wave of sadness came over me, but pushed it back as Natalie and Ben came up behind me.
"Oh," Natalie said, watching my friends leave. "Those are your friends, aye?"
"No, they used to be, and it's my fault that they aren't anymore. I don't deserve their forgiveness, so I'm not asking for it."
"Everyone deserves to be forgiven," Ben said softly.
"Not me. I did something that's unforgivable," I replied mournfully.
"If you say so," Natalie muttered and walked by me.
"Hey, why are you here anyway?" I asked trying to change the subject.
Ben and Natalie exchanged a glance and looked worried. "Well," Natalie began slowly, "our parents were killed by some dude named Black. Evil git."
"What?!" I exclaimed and came to a stop. I tried to outwardly compose myself. Black isn't such an uncommon last name, I told myself angrily. Deep down inside I knew it was my family. Now here were two new friends and I was going to lose them too. All because of my bloody family. Poor me.
"What's wrong?" asked Ben, looking at me in a concerned fashion that kind of surprised me, considering one of my many pureblood maniac relatives had killed their parents.
I sighed. They were going to find out anyways, so I decided to just tell them. "My last name is Black. I'm Sirius Black." I turned my face around so I didn't have to look them in the eye. To my great shock, I felt a comforting hand on my shoulder. I looked around and stared into her brown compassionate eyes. Ben was standing behind her and watching awkwardly .
"Why aren't you looking at me with an appalled look on your face and screaming profanities at me?" I inquired, now incredibly shocked.
"Because I don't judge someone by who there family is. You don't seem to be evil. In fact, you seem to be quite the opposite. If you're a true Black, I'd think you'd be in Slytherin," Natalie stated.
"Plus," added Ben, "you're not the one that murdered our parents. You're Sirius Black. Not....well, what's-his-face Black."
I laughed, feeling much better. These were some friends who weren't just gonna abandon me, and while the others had every right to leave me, it still hurt me deeply.
We walked the rest of the way to Transfiguration with Natalie holding my hand in a reassuring sort of way. "Hey," I asked suddenly, "how did you get in Gryffindor?"
"We were sorted immediately when we got here. Which was last night late," Ben explained.
"I guess it was just our luck to be sorted here. That way we got to meet you!" Natalie added, smiling slightly. We entered the classroom at that moment and walked to seats. In the back, out of the corner of my eye, I could see James glaring at me. My heart seemed to break into a million pieces again. I determinedly looked away and sat by my new friends.
A.N: ok, how was that? I hope it was better than the first chapter. Still, you all have full permission to give your honest opinion. So....yeah. the next chapter is coming soon. I hope.
