Disclaimer: The song 'The Show Must Go On' belongs to Queen.
To those who were wondering why Sirius is coming back so late in the story, the reason is that I want the scene to be more touching. The more time till they meet the more touching a scene. That and I want a lot of things to happen before he comes back.
My favourite character is Sirius, he's so sexy(in my head). Is he any of your favourite characters? I don't know why J.K. killed him off, he's practically everybody's favourite character. And he's special. But I don't find that he was very nice to Harry in the fifth book, he was kinda mean.
Me: Hugs Sirius
Sirius: Tries to get away but can't
Me: I love you Seewee!
Sirius: Get off!
Me: NO!
Sirius: Please review her so that she can let go of me to put up the next chapter.
If you want to save Sirius (and the baby whales) please read and review. Without your reviews Sirius will remain in my arms and become a wild child.

Gains and Losses
Chapter 15
Inside My Heart Is Breaking
.
.
.
Empty spaces What are we living for
Abandoned places I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on,
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
Finally, he was there. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the place that would prepare him to become an Auror like he had always wanted to be. He had been dreaming about this day since he was he four and Sirius had just told him about what he, his father, Remus and that traitor used to do when they were in school. He also knew that his father was an Auror so he wanted to be just like him.
"Come on Harry" said Morticia
She grabbed his hand and pulled him into the line up where Remus and Romulus stood waiting for him. Morticia let go of his hand and began to move forward with the crowd. Harry stood there staring at her with her mouth slightly open.
One of Remus' snorts pulled him out of his thoughts.
"You fancy her don't you?" Remus whispered into his ear
Harry blushed visibly and nodded. Remus laughed and ruffled his hair.
"You have to admit, she's cute. She would look good on you"
They stopped talking when they reached the front of the line. There was a fleet of boats sitting in the water by the shore. Harry, Romulus and Morticia took a boat for themselves with Remus for supervision.
Suddenly all the boats moved forward and sailed smoothly across the lake as the students watched silently with awe. The boats suddenly jerked to a stop and all the students started climbing out.
"I'll see you guys later" said Remus
He gave Romulus a quick kiss on the cheek and ran into the castle. The three friends got into line and followed the rest of the students into the castle.
They walked through the stone corridors and into the great hall. Albus Dumbledore placed a hat on a three legged stool and walked away, The students stared in confusion. What would happen next?
Suddenly the hat began to sing:
"Oy, I'm the Hogwarts sorting hat
I know I'm very old
I know what goes on in your head
Believe just what you're told
I will search inside your head
To find where you ought to be
The things I'll tell you will be true
And so you must trust me
See Slytherin wanted the purest
Ravenclaw, minds the best
Gryffindor wanted the bravest
While good old Hufflepuff took the rest
So come on, put me on your head
You'll be told where you belong
And come on, sit down don't be shy
Nothing will go wrong
The students clapped as the hat finished it's song. Minerva McGonagall walked up to the sorting hat a piece of parchment in her hands.
"I will place the hat on your heads and you will be sorted. Hannah Abbott!"
A girl with blonde ponytails left the group of first years and sat down on the stool. McGonagall placed the hat on her head.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat
Hannah went sit down at the Hufflepuff table.
"Susan Bones!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Terry Boot!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Mandy Brocklehurst!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Lavendar Brown!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Millicent Bulstrode!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Vincent Crabbe!"
Crabbe sat there for 2 minutes till the hat spoke.
"Get out of here you idiot! Come back when you actually learn something!"
Crabbe laughed and ran from the great hall.
"Seamus Finnigan!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Neville Longbottom!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Romulus Lupin!"
Harry watched anxiously as Romulus sat down on the stool with the hat on his head. After about twenty seconds the hat finally shouted:
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Harry gave Romulus a thumbs up sign as he walked to the Gryffindor table. Remus did the same. The sorting went on.
"Draco Malfoy!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Padma Patil!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Parvati Patil!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Harry Potter!"
Fear suddenly took over Harry's body. What if he was put in Slytherin? Whispers broke out over the hall. Harry slowly sat down on the stool. McGonagall placed the hat atop his head.
"Hmm" said a voice in his head "Plenty of courage, not a bad mind either. There's talent, oh my goodness yes, and a thirst to prove yourself. I know just where to put you.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Harry sighed with relief and made his way to the Gryffindor table. He noticed Remus giving him a thumbs up sign. He sat down and watched the rest of the sorting.
"Morticia Snape!"
Harry crossed his fingers.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Morticia smirked at her father, receiving a scowl back. Remus looked at Harry and lifted an eyebrow. Harry blushed, an embarrassed look on his face. Remus laughed silently.
"Serpientus Snape!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Blaise Zabini!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
The sorting ended and the feats began. Harry was in for a very exiting year.
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On - with the show -
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on

Disclaimer: I know a lot of you are wondering "Where are Ron and Hermione?" they aren't attending Hogwarts with Harry but they will be in the story. They will appear more often in the sequel. I LOVE RON!!! I had to kick out Crabbe and Goyle isn't there at all. I don't find them really important to the story. Instead it will just be Malfoy and Serpientus hanging out together. I will call him Serpientus instead of Snape because I don't want to get him and Severus mixed up. Please Review!!!
HARRY POTTER! HARRY POTTER!
