A/N: Oh yay! I wrote another chapter! Anyway, I am dedicating this chapter
and something later in my story to my very first reviewer Nikki101! Thank
you so much!
And for my review who said I should have changed I am to I'm, he was saying
I am up as if he was saying I am already up. Sorry if I confused you.
Also, sorry if I am a tad mean to Peter. I just don't like him and find
that he would be annoying.
CHAPTER TWO: THE TRAIN RIDE AND THE SORTING
Sirius woke up that morning to his mothers loud banging again. He raced out of the house with all of his things and straight to Kings Cross Station.
He met up with James on the train. They both sat for hours talking about different things; Quidditch, new spells, Pranks they were planning to play, and when they were just talking about one which involved turning a teachers hair green the compartment door opened.
"Excuse me; I was booted out of my compartment by some greasy haired kid. Do you mind?" A squat boy with hazel eyes, tan hair and a squeaky voice said.
"Sure thing mate." James said, pointing to the seat near the door (both Sirius and James were at the ones by the window, and there are three seats on each side so James was being kind of mean ^_^)
"Thanks! You're awesome! By the way, my name is Peter, Peter Pettigrew!" Peter said, sitting down and setting his things aside.
"Ours are mike and Joe." Sirius said calmly. James had to look at the window to stop laughing at how Serious Sirius was with saying that.
"Which one is which?" Peter asked.
"I'm Mike." They both said at the same time.
"No really, tell me!" Peter said, bouncing up and down in his seat.
"Fine, I am Mike, this is Joe." Sirius said, pointing at James.
"Okay! So Joe, what house do you think you will get in?? Huh Joe? Joe? What house do you think you will get in? Joe? Joe? Joe! Tell me!" Peter said, still bouncing.
"I and Mike are hoping to get into Barnes, how about you?" James said, trying to play along with Sirius.
"There is a Barnes? Someone told me there were only Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw." Peter said.
"Barnes is for really special people." Sirius said, waving his hand dramatically.
"Oh..." Peter said sadly.
After a few more hours the train stopped. Sirius and James got off happily, but Peter followed them, still bombing them with stupid questions like 'what is your favorite food'.
"Firs' years! Firs' years this way!" A large man yelled, holding a lantern up above them. He led them all over the lake to Hogwarts.
Inside the entrance way they were amazed at the size. Sirius and James were grinning at each other, both thinking the same thing; 'this is going to be fun'.
Peter was shaking; he was obviously scared of the hat.
A witch led them into the great hall. The eyes that were once on their empty plaits turned to watch them.
"Wonder how we are getting sort-"But Sirius was cut off. An old wizard's hat that was on a stool in the front of the room opened what looked like a tear and started to sing.
'In a time long ago, Before any of this was so, Lived four great people, Bound together by a church steeple. They decided to found this school, But each had their own rule. Hufflepuff, wanted those who were fair and loyal, While Ravenclaw, beautiful and Royal, Wanted those who had brains. Slytherin did not like these games, He felt only pure blood was best, He felt they surpassed the rest. Gryffindor favored those who were brave, Those who were not afraid to dig their own grave. Now try me on, don't be scared, And those with tension will be spared.'
The hall burst into applause. Sirius felt a terrible lurch in his stomach. Pureblood? Why his family had the purest blood he knew. He didn't want to be in a house that belived that though. If he was put into Slytherin, he would leave, that's what he thought.
One by one the names were called. "Evans, Lily!" The witch called. A girl with long red hair and starlit green eyes got up. The hat shouted GRYFFINDOR and she sat at that table. James watched her go the whole time.
"Gent, Hope!" was put in Ravenclaw.
"Lupin, Remus!" The witch who called herself McGonagall called out.
"James look! I saw that boy before!" Sirius said as the hat shouted GRYFFINDOR.
"McNair, John (I don't know that first name, anyone?)" was put into Slytherin. Sirius looked at that lot. He hated them the moment he saw them.
"Pettigrew, Peter!" She called. Peter waved at them excitedly and took the stand. The hat fell over his head. After much consideration it shouted GRYFFINDOR.
"Potter, James!"
"Good luck James." Sirius said as James ran towards the hat. He ran right up. Before the hat reached his head it shouted GRYFFINDOR. James smiled widely, looking from Sirius to The girl Lily.
"Terribly sorry! I skipped a name!" The witch said, rolling the scroll back to the top and read 'Black, Sirius'.
Sirius had just been wondering why he wasn't called. He walked slowly up to the hat and tried it in.
'Oh well, what do we have here? Another Black? Slytherin of cour- no wait, you aren't a Slytherin. You are a GRYFFINDOR!" He shouted the last part out.
Relief washed over Sirius. He headed over to the Gryffindor table.
Soon after the sorting ended and Dumbledore gave the signal for the food Sirius turned to the table. Remus had his head practically touching his dish, hiding from view.
"You lied about your names!" Peter said to them through a mouth of food.
"Did we? Oh, it slipped my mind..." James said, grinning to Sirius but soon turning to look at a group of girls down the table.
Sirius watched Remus.
"Hello there, Remus was it? I'm Sirius. That's Latin for dog star if you didn't know." Sirius said, holding out a hand. Remus looked up. His face had three long scars on it that looked like he had been scratched. Even though he was eleven, he had grey hairs highlighting his brown hair.
"Mmm..." Was all Remus said, turning his head back down.
"Where did you get those scratches from?" Sirius asked.
"Nuffing..M..." Remus muttered.
*~ So how did you like this chapter? Thanks to all my reviews I should have another chapter up in two days! I still need those professor names though.
