Author's Note- Hey! Sorry it took so long to update. I was at camp, and I've been busy with my other story "Nothing Can Come Between Us". Which is now finished. Anyways, here is chapter 3!

Chapter 3, Leaving my thoughts

I didn't look up when the compartment door slid open. I was lost in my thoughts of my early childhood, and I wasn't even aware of their presence until they spoke.

"Er-excuse me?"

I jumped, quickly snapping back to the present time.

I looked up and saw a tall bay, with messy jet black hair, emerald green eyes, and glasses. Behind him was a girl with bushy brown hair and a pretty face, and another tall boy only he had red hair and freckles. I couldn't help but think that the boy with messy black hair and glasses looked oddly familiar.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." he said, having obviously seen me jump.

"No it's ok. I was just thinking. So...can I help you?" I asked, quickly wiping my eyes as a tear threatened to escape from my previous memory.

"Um-I was just wondering if my friends and I could share this compartment with you? All the rest are full."

"Sure."

"Thanks. I'm Harry Potter, and these are my friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger."

"Hi. It's nice to meet you. I'm Lasarus Black." I replied, shaking each of their hands in turn.

I noticed they tensed a little at the sound of my name, and they both exchanged quick glances with Harry.

I couldn't stop thinking about how familiar Harry looked when finally it dawned on me.

'Of course! How could I have been so stupid? Harry is James Potter's son. Duh!' I thought to myself.

I've seen enough pictures of James when he was at school with my dad and Remus to know what he looked like. Harry looked just like him.

By the time I had abandoned my thoughts again, they had settled in, and an awkward silence filled the compartment.

"So...I haven't see you before. Are you new?" Hermione asked, breaking the silence.

"Yeah. I just transferred from Durmstrang."

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen."

"So your in our year. Do you know anyone here?"

"Um...just Albus Dumbledore and Remus Lupin."

"How do you know Professor Lupin?' Ron asked, still preferring to call him professor.

"Oh, well he's my godfather. I live with him."

"Er-I'm not trying to be rude or anything by asking so many questions, but are you by any chance related to Sirius Black?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"Yeah. He's my father." I replied, bracing myself for their reactions.

"What?" Harry exclaimed.

"You can't possibly be his-"

"Well I am." I said rudely, cutting Ron off.

I'm terribly sorry if you think I'm being rude, but I'm sick of people reacting this way! I mean why is it so hard to believe? Why is it impossible for Sirius Black to have a daughter? I'm sick of having to explain myself, and how I'm his daughter, or why they never heard about me before, everywhere I go. I think I liked it better when people would just look at me like I was crazy, or walk away or back off like I would contaminate them with some deadly disease. At least I didn't have to explain myself every time.

"He never said he had a daughter." Hermione said, a look of shock etched on her face.

'Here we go again.' I thought to myself.

"Well, he probably wanted to keep it a secret. Because if the information of my existence got into the wrong hands, like my lovely relative Bellatrix Lestrange, they'd most likely want me dead."

"Oh."

"He always talked about you in his letters, Harry." I said, trying to change the subject.

"Er-no offense, but you look just like him." Ron said shyly.

"None taken."

"I'm sorry for your loss. It must be hard for you." Hermione added softly.

I nodded slowly, and instinctively my hand went to my chest, where a silver star pendant was hanging on a silver chain around my neck.

I couldn't stop thinking about him, and how much my life had turned around. Everywhere I went there was something to remind me of him. And now I was going to Hogwarts, where he spent most of his life growing up. This was going to be harder than I thought.

I sat, absentmindedly stroking the pendant with my thumb, and becoming lost in my thoughts.

And by the time I left my thoughts behind for the third time, we were pulling into Hogsmeade.

Well, sorry if this chapter was a bit boring, but it had to be done. I won't be able to update for awhile, because I'm going on vacation next week. But I'll try to write while I'm away. So hopefully the next chapter or so will be written. And I promise you find out about her mum soon! Please review on your way out! It will make my day!

Thanks to my wonderful reviewers!

lupin-luver-72: Thanks for the review! Don't worry, you'll find out about her mum soon! The sorting will be next chapter!

Sweet 16 Movie Buff: Thank you so much for the review! I'm so happy you loved it! I was afraid that Sirius was out of character a bit, but thanks for letting me know I did it right!

Kaleidoscope: Thanks for reviewing! I'm sorry I should of explained that more, but I'm glad you asked. Remus doesn't know entirely about the secret keeper thing, he has his suspicions, but he thinks that Sirius ants to go talk with Pettigrew. He wasn't even fully aware of who the secret keeper was (well in my story anyways). Make sense? I hope so!

And about her mum, you should find out about her in the next two chapters or so. Thanks again!
