Here goes another chapter of my little story...Thanks for the reviews. I really appreciate them.
Hogwarts Train Station Platform 9 3/4Sirius Black waited patiently for his friends to arrive. Sirius's Mother had gone to gossip with the other ladies. Finally James Potter arrived with Mrs and Mr Potter at his side. His parents were very nice and easy going people, completely opposite to Sirius's mother." Had a good time?" James asked.
" Sure, the best of all times!" Sirius said sarcastically.
James laughed, but stopped halfway. He had spotted Lily Evans walking towards the train. James stepped forwards to block her way.
" Mr Potter will you please move aside." Lily said.
" Are you sure you want me to move?" James slyly said.
" Of course." Lily said angrily.
" If I move, will you admit that you have fallen in-love with me?"
" Move Potter, I would never tombre en amour avec toi."
Sirius laughed; it was always like this. James would joke with Lily until she hated him. Sirius knew perfectly well that James had fallen for Lily. He though that they would make a wonderful couple in the future, but for now, enemies suited better.
" James, stop bothering Evans." Sirius said.
" If you say so," James said and turned to Lily, " Evans, its your lucky day." Evans turned away and walked off with her head up proudly. " Guess you can't win them all." Sirius said friendly. Sirius and James headed for the train, but was stopped by mother.
" Sirius darling, come and meet the Pringles." She said strictly . Sirius quickly turned around and walked towards his mother. There stood the Pringle's girl and her Grandmere.
" Nice to meet you all." Sirius said at once.
" This is Anne, Anne Melody Isabella Pringle and I am Great Mrs Pringle." said the old women.
" I believe both teens will be in the same grade." Sirius's Mother said coldly. Sirius knew right away that his mother hate the Pringle's girl and wish for him to stay away from her. Anne was like a stone wall blocking the way of Sirius to greatness.
" That's right, I was hoping that young Sirius here could help Anne get settled at school." The old lady said.
" Of Cour..." Sirius was cut-off by a painful nudge from his mother.
" I don't think thats possible because Sirius has to welcome Miss MacFord to the school," She said coolly, " Sirius might not have time for less civilized ladies."
The old lady looked furious. Just then, Shirley arrived at the scene and made the situation worst. " Hello, Sirius, and nice to see you Mrs. Black." She said extremely sweetly. " Why hello Shirley." Sirius's mother said in her fake sweet voice again and nudged Sirius hard in the ribs. Sirius had no choice and kissed her hand once again.
" Sirius, I think we had better find a seat on the train." Shirley said.
Sirius nodded and was dragged away from his mother and the Pringles. He could still hear the old ladies conversation with Anne.
" You filthy girl, get out of my sight." the old lady harshly said.
" Yes Grandmere." The girl said and curtsied.
She took her luggage bag from the driver and walked towards the train. By this time, Sirius was seated at the window looking at her through it. Shirley was trying to start a conversation about student life, but Sirius heard none of it. Anne finally climbed onto the train towards the back.
" Sirius dear, I think our life together at Hogwarts will be most wonderful." Shirley said dreamily.
James chuckled loudly with Remus Lupin. Peter, who was extremely slow, did not find this funny.
" I am sure life will be great." Sirius said sarcastically.
Shirley smiled happily and could not hear the sarcasm.First Day after HolidayShirley leaped onto the back of Sirius in the morning.
" I was so scared of the dark." she said. Sirius untangle her hands around his neck and massaged the pain. He gave her a weak smile. She lead him out of the door and went to breakfast. They sat down next to James and Remus and started to eat. Shirley had perfect table manner which totally em brassed Sirius because he ate like a dog. Just as Sirius reached for another serving of toast; there was a loud shatter of glass. He looked up and saw the Pringle's girl picking up the broken pieces.
" Who dropped the glass jug?" shouted Mr Green, the potions teacher.
Anne slowly raised her hand. Mr Green caught sight of her and started...
" Oh, Miss Pringle, we know all about you." Mr Green said wickedly.
" I am sorry." Anne said and continued to pick the glass. " Your grandmother wrote us a letter about your obscure life before civilizing you, I would have expected this." Mr Green said loudly so everyone could hear.
Anne's hand were bleeding from the broken glass, but she ignored them and continued on without looking up. Sirius realized the evilness surrounding this grand hall. " The letter clearly states that your weak and fragile mind is very hard for us to comprehend." Mr Green chucked. Suddenly, Anne stood up boldly and looked Mr Green in the eye.
" I had enough." Anne said. " Had enough of what?" Mr Green said mockingly. " Of you." Anne said. She stepped out of her seat and walked out of the hall with Mr Green staring after her.
" Half-bloods are always going to be half-bloods." The potions master mumbled and stormed away.
" Oh, I know about that girl, her mother married a muggle." Shirley said stupidly.
" Shirley, we know." Sirius said mockingly.
" I heard her mother ran away on her wedding day to a rich pure- blooded man." Shirley blurted, " The rich man was your father."
Sirius was shocked for a second.
" Oops, mother told me not to say anything." Shirley whispered.
" No wonder your mother hates the Pringles so much." James said, " she's angry because she was your fathers second choice."
" No wonder mother hates Pringles." Sirius thought, " how come I don't hate the Pringle's girl, instead, I feel sorry for her?" Sirius left the table and hurried out of the grand hall. He did not stop til he reached the common room. He hopped onto the sofa and buried his head in the pillows .
" We've meet before, haven't we?" said a little voice in the corner.
Sirius looked up and find the Pringle's girl sitting against the fireplace. Her auburn hair glowed from the fire.
" We have, in fact, more than once." Sirius said slowly.
" We have?"Anne said confused, but replied" Actually, I feel although I know you from a long time ago."
" Maybe we were acquainted with each other in past lives." Sirius said.
" Probably." Anne said and smile at him, " I love imagining about my past life."
" You do?"
" Extremely, I would image myself as a Egyptian dancer." Anne said dreamily, " dancing all day long with admiration and happiness."
" I never though dancing would make you happy." Sirius said.
" Haven't you tried it?" Anne said eagerly, " try it now."
" I can't dance." Sirius said with concern."
" Anyone could."
" I could ballroom dance, nothing else."
" Dancing does not require skill, all you need is a soul." Anne said. " Do you have a soul?"
" I do." Sirius admitted.
Anne stood up and pulled Sirius to his feet.
" Start moving your body, it doesn't matter if you feel silly." Sirius tried.
At first, he felt extremely silly, but soon, he found himself enjoying the feeling. He realized that he had never felt this feeling before. Anne was dancing herself way. Sirius laughed and continued. The common room door open and in came two girls. They eyed Anne and Sirius suspiciously and went on upstairs. Sirius and Anne started to laugh until they collapsed onto the sofa.
" Sirius, I don't know how to dance neither." Anne admitted.
