Natalie Black
Chapter 7
Hogwarts Gossip (A/N:Natalie is supposed to be in her seventh year but she took a year off to look for Sirius.Just in case you get confused by something Hagrid says.Nikki)
Today was September first. School started today. Everyone heard rumors about a girl from the U. S. tranferring permanently. No one could have reconized Natalie until everyone changed into their uniforms. No one knew who she was until they saw Natalie's uniform. It looked like the first years' uniforms. The weren't any house colors on her uniform.
Natalie told Harry 'When I was younger I never wanted to be short. When I finally became about as tall as everyone else I was so happy. Right now is the only time I wish I were a whole lot shorter.' Harry told her 'I wish I didn't have to tell you this but, when they say your last name things are going to get worse.' 'Great, just great.' Natalie said. Ron said 'Don't worry Natalie, by October most of the gossip will have settled down.' 'That's helpful' Natalie said with sarcasm. Ginny said 'Don't worry Natalie. Everything will be fine.' Natalie replied 'Thanks Gin. I gotta go with first years. I'll see you guys in a little while. Bye.'
Hagrid was yelling 'First years this way!First years this way!' When he saw Natalie he said 'Ello. You must be Natalie. Cause if you're a first year you're very tall for your age.' 'Hi. Yes I'm Natalie. I'm assuming you are Hagrid. You look exactly the way Harry had described you.' Natalie said. 'Yes I am Hagrid and I hope Harry told you about all the gossip that will be going around when they sort a seventeen year old from America with your last name into a house. Anyways see that boat over in the middle that's the boat I'll be on if you want to know. I should get back to calling for first years. Nice to finally meet you.First years this way!First years this way!' Hagrid said. 'Nice to meet you too' Natalie said. Natalie got on the boat Hagrid was going to be on. Soon she and the first years were on their way across the lake. Now Professor McGonagall was leading them into the great hall. Dumbledore said a few words before the sorting, this wasn't his begining of the year speech. This was about Natalie. Everyone knew that before he started. Dumbledore said 'I am sure you have all heard by now about a student that transfered here from America. Her name is Natalie. She will be here for the semester. Natalie is in her sixth year. And it would be wonderful if everyone could get to know Natalie before starting all the rumors. Thank you! Let the sorting begin.' Dumbledore turned to Professor McGonagall. She then called out 'Natalie Black'. At that moment almost the whole school gasped. As soon as the sorting hat was placed on Natalie's head it called out 'Gryffindor'. When she was sorted only half the Gryffindors clapped. The whole school was silent until she said something. Natalie said with sarcasm 'Wow, I can really feel the love in this room.' Then the sorting continued. Harry whispered in Natalie's ear 'I'm sorry about everyone's reaction.' Natalie told him 'Don't be. I get that reaction a lot. They'll get over it.' Then Harry kissed Natalie on the cheek. Harry said to her 'Are you sure you're okay?' 'Yeah I'm fine. It's not my fault everyone thinks my dad is a murderer. Eventually they'll have to get over it.' Natalie answeredThey watched all the first years get sorted and they clapped for the ones that got into Gryffindor. -They're so ignorant. I am not my dad. And my dad didn't even kill anyone! He was framed. Not that it makes any difference now. -Natalie thought. Hermione thought- Even though I hate Natalie, I feel kinda bad for her. I still don't like her.- Harry thought- I don't beleive these people! Black is a common name. How do they know she is even related to Sirius. Well she does look somewhat like Sirius. They are so stupid they don't even know her!- Then all the first years were sorted and Dumbledore then said 'Now the feast may begin'
(A/N: Sorry the chapters have been getting shorter. I've been trying to make them more than a page long but it has been a little hard. The next chapter, I think might be really short. But then they will start getting longer and more interesting and complicated. In a another chapter or two someone from Natalie's past is gonna show up. He is going to tell Natalie the truth which is exactly what she doesn't want to hear. She needs to tell Harry but keeps trying to avoid it. Find out what happens starting in chapter 9.R&RNikki)
