Chapter 2: So this is Gryffindor
Sirius zoned out for the rest of the sorting, but noticed something nonetheless.
Everybody cheered for the new Gryffindor's. Everyone got someone to cheer for them, regardless of what house they were put in, but Sirius had just gotten a couple claps from first years who didn't know Blacks had been sorted into Slytherin for century's. His cousin had been sorted into Ravenclaw, but that was years ago and it wasn't the rival of Slytherin.
"As Sorso, Malanda became a Gryffindor, Sirius looked over at the Slytherin table. Bellatrix looked ready to kill him, literally. Her knuckles were turning white from where she was clutching the table, and her eyes narrowed as Sirius looked at her.
Sirius looked away and was surprised when he found someone sitting next to him. He looked at her and she smiled. The girl's dirty blonde hair ran down her back, stopping at her waist. It shone in the candlelight, and it reminded Sirius of honey. Her light green eyes sparkled as she looked at him, and her smile revealed white teeth. (Though slightly crooked)
"Hi, my name is Malanda," the girl said quietly.
"Sirius Black."
"Lily Evans," a girl with fiery red hair and shining green eyes said from across the table.
Well at least someone's talking to me Sirius thought.
The sorting ended with Wonasken Teref became a Hufflepuff, and the sounds of clapping died away instantly as Dumbledore stood up. "Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts, and welcome new students!" Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling. "I must inform you now, that as always the forbidden forest is well...forbidden! Also, a new tree has been planted, the Whomping willow. I advise you to keep away from it unless you wish to be gravely injured. With that I say, tuck in."
With that a loud rain of shouts and applause rang through the hall as the students began to eat.
As Sirius ate quietly he glanced at the Slytherin table again. Bellatrix hadn't touched the food, and was silently scribbling something on a piece of parchment. She stuffed it in her pocket and glared at Sirius before taking some roast potatoes.
After the food finally disappeared Dumbledore stood up again. "I advise you all to sleep well, for your classes start tommorow, and we wouldn't want anyone missing out on anything important because they're sleeping through class!"
Lily Evans looked offended that Professor Dumbledore would even think such a thing, and looked determined to prove she could sustain staying awake in class.
The prefects lead the first years to their dormitories. As they climbed a staircase, many students pointed at the pictures as they waved and grinned.
They soon reached a portrait of a woman in a very outdated dress. "Password," she asked.
"Triwizard," the prefect said.
The portrait hole opened and the first years all scrambled in. A large fire crackled merrily, filling the room with warmth and light. Fluffy, red armchairs dotted the room, with a couch near the fire. Wooden chairs with soft, red padding rested on the chair and stood straight in a row in the back of the room where dark brown tables sat, going all down the wall. A couple of these tables and chairs sat in various places of the room for playing chess or other games. A large oak table was in front of the couch. The plush carpet was dark red and soft, causing your feet to sink a little when you walked on it. A notice board hung on the far side of the room. No other room could be more cheerful.
The prefect gestured to a marble staircase twirling upwards. "That way is the boy dormitories, and that way is the girls," he said, pointing the other way, to a different staircase. "All your belongings have already been brought up. I advise you go get some sleep."
He nodded at the first years and headed up to the boys dormitories.
Malanda and Lily left Sirius's side and smiled before walking up the girl's staircase. Sirius slowly followed the other boys and made his way through a door that said first years.
Inside were five four-poster beds with red hangings. Sirius walked to the bed where his trunk was located. As the other boys changed he heard a voice.
"So Black, wish you were with your little Slytherin friends now? Sorry you have to be somewhere comfortable and wish you were at the stiff place with all those Slytherin gits?"
The owner of the voice had messy black hair and was wearing glasses. He was smirking at him as he changed and got into bed, keeping the hangings open as he waited for an answer.
"No, even if I have to be in the company of a big headed git like you," Sirius replied coolly, and got into his bed, the warm comforter falling around him. He reached out and closed the hangings, blocking out the faces of the rest of his dorm mates. Soon, he fell into an uneasy sleep.
.../.../.../.../.../.../.../.../...
The next morning Sirius woke up with light streaming through the windows. He slowly got up and got ready. As he made his way to the great hall, portraits pointed at him and whispered.
"A Black in Gryffindor."
"He's betrayed his family he has."
"None of the houses want to have anything to do with him."
Sirius quickly entered the great hall and took a seat next to Lily, with Malanda across from him. They smiled and said, "good morning."
"Morning," Sirius said, poking at some porridge.
"Oh come on, you have to eat. It will keep you more focused on your studies," Lily said as a girl sat next to Lily. "Hello, my names Lily Evans, and this is Malanda Sorso and Sirius Black."
"Sirius Black?" the girl asked.
"Sirius nodded and looked away.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Mia. Mia Cerfton." Mia had thick, dark brown hair that reached to about her shoulders. Chocolate brown eyes gazed at the three as she smiled. She took a peice of toast and added a large ammount of butter and jelly before eating it, and reached for another piece.
The four of them ate quietly. When they got their schedules they headed off to class together.
"Trying to seduce girls now are you Black?" the messy haired kid said as they walked into transfiguration.
Sirius sat in the back of the room and Malanda sat next to him, smiling sympathetically. As they listened to Professor McGonagall lecture Sirius thought of what was going to happen to him when he got home. They're going to kill me he thought miserably to himself. At least if Bellatrix doesn't first.
"Mr. Black!"
Sirius looked up at his seething professor. "Yes professor?"
"Kindly demonstrate what the I've been talking about please."
Sirius glanced at Malanda who mouthed at him to change his match into a needle. He nodded and looked at the match, and tried to transfigure it. Nothing happened.
"Just as I thought. Mr. Potter," she suddenly said, catching the talking boy by surprise. "Would you kindly try it?"
Potter nodded and in place of his match sat a silver needle. Professor McGonagall seemed very surprised. "Well, wonderful job! Five points to Gryffindor! Now everyone, please try it."
Sirius looked hard at his match and tried again, and this time it worked. Quite slowly, as if wishing to remain it its current state, the match grew longer and it's end pointed. It got thinner and soon was silver.
"Very good!" Sirius heard. "Another five points to Gryffindor!"
The rest of the day passed without much happening. At the end of the day, James was seething, knowing Sirius had matched him in everything.
As he lay down to go to sleep, Sirius remembered Bellatrix writing something down at the feast.
Oh no, mum.

SKR: Uh oh. Sirius's mum can only mean trouble. Thank you everyone who reviewed! It makes me feel really happy that people are enjoying this story!
