Return To Hogwarts-Chapter 2

* * *

Sirius sat down in an empty compartment. He felt out of place. He knew no one here. That's why he was so anxious when the compartment door opened.

"Hi, do you mind if I sit here? Everything else is full," a girl with sandy brown hair asked him.

"Uh, sure. I'm Sirius Granger-Black," Sirius said.

"I'm Raylyn Lupin, but everyone calls me Ray," she said.

"Hi," Sirius said.

"Um, are you a muggle-born?" Ray asked.

"What's that?" Sirius asked confused.

"A muggle is what wizards call non-magic folk. Muggle-born means that both your parents have no wizard family," Ray explained.

"I guess so, but I never knew my father. I just know that I'm named for him: Sirius Black. My mom never talks about him," Sirius explained,"Are you muggle-born?"

"No. Both of my parents are a witch and a wizard. My dad is actually a teacher at Hogwarts," Ray answered.

"Are you a first-year?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah. I'm guessing you are, too?" Ray asked. Sirius nodded.

"What does your dad teach?" Sirius asked.

"Defense Agaist the Dark Arts," she answered just as a boy with red hair knocked on the door.

"Hey, Ray!" the boy said, walking in.

"Hi, Will. Sirius, this is Will Weasley. Will, this is Sirius Granger-Black," Ray introduced.

"Hi," Will said.

"Hi," Sirius said. For the rest of the trip, the trio talked and joked around.

"Ray, did you hear the news?" Will asked.

"What?" Ray asked.

"Uncle Harry got the job of Headmaster of Hogwarts," Will explained excitedly, "Dumbledore recomended him."

"Why'd Dumbledore quit?" Ray asked.

"He's getting older, I guess. Uncle Harry said that he was going to teach Transfiguration this year and then permanently retire," Will explained.

"Whose Dumbledore?" Sirius asked.

"Oh, he's the greatest headmaster Hogwarts ever had. Quite powerful, too. He trained my Uncle. You see, my Aunt Ginny married Harry Potter, who is very famous by himself. My cousins are a bit younger than me, though," Will explained.

"I see. So, do you guys wanna tell me what to expect?" Sirius asked. They had a long conversation about Hogwarts until the train pulled to a stop.

When Sirius, Will, and Ray stepped off the train, they were met by the hugest man Sirius had ever seen.

"Firs' years! This way!" the giant called.

"Hello, Hagrid!" Ray said, smiling.

"'Lo Ray. 'Lo Will. Whose this?" Hagrid asked, gesturing to Sirius.

"I'm Sirius Granger-Black," Sirius answered. Hagrid froze.

"What you say?" he asked.

"My name is Sirius Black," Sirius said again, leaving out the Granger. His mom said the whole name thing was whatever he wanted. He just chose to use both of his parents names. Hagrid nodded.

"I-I'm Ruebeus Hagrid. Everyone calls me Hagrid," Hagrid said before turning around and calling to the first-years. They arrived at the castle in little boats and were greeted in the Entrance Hall by an old man.

"Hello, First-years. I am Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster-in-cheif of Hogwarts. In a moment you will be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin," he said. Dumbledore smiled at the first-years. He had been greeting the first-year student since Proffesor McGonagall died in the final battle between The Order and Voldemort. He guided them into the Great Hall and told them of the Sorting Ceremony. He called their names and they tried on the Sorting Hat.

"Sirius Granger-Black!" Sirius put the hat on his head and nearly jumped when it started to talk to him.

"Difficult. Very Difficult. You would do well in Slytherin. That was your father's family's house, but yet he was a Gryffindor. You are brave, like him, no doubt about that. You are smart, like your mother and I put her in Gryffindor. Well then, better be..."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Sirius shakily walked to the Gryffindor table and sat down. His mother went to school here. Why didn't she tell him? And his father. His father was a wizard. He only listened to the names of his friends as they were sorted.

"Raylyn Lupin!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"William Weasley!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Then after Will was sorted, Dumbledore spoke.

"I have news for you all. I have given up my position of Headmaster of this school and will finish my teaching career this year.. I have chosen a sutible replacement. That person is Proffesor Potter. And now I am sure your new Head would like to say a few words."

"Thank you, Proffesor. Now, tuck in. I'm sure you're all starved," a man with untidy black hair and green eyes spoke. He clapped his hands and food appeared like magic. Sirius ate his fill, not caring if he looked like a pig. Sirius looked up at the staff table and saw the headmaster's eyes rested upon him. Proffesor Potter's eyes weren't the only ones rested on Sirius. A greasy-haired proffesor named Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore, and Remus Lupin. All of them knowing who he was.

Soon after the feast, they were guided to their house to sleep. Sirius lay awake, thinking about his parents.

Proffesor Harry Potter lied back on his bed looking at an old photograph. He watched as little pictures of the Order of the Pheonix members moved around. His eyes rested on two people: a fifteen-year-old girl with bushy hair, and a man with long dark hair, a reckless grin, and sullen dark eyes that didn't seem quite so sullen in the picture. How had they fallen in love? Why didn't Hermione tell him? All of his questions remained unanswered.

That night, Sirius Granger-Black wasn't the only one thinking about Hermione Granger and Sirius Black.
