He stood, ready for his name to be called up to the sorting hat. He could feel his nerves buzzing inside of him and felt like there were butterflies in his stomach. "Sirius Black," A stern looking Professor McGonagall called out.

The Slytherin table already had smiles on their face and was preparing to clap. Cautiously Sirius slumped down onto the stool as Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat on his head. "Another one of the Black's I see," it whispered in his ear" but not much like them in character. Your brave and cunning yes and seem to have a troublesome sense of humor. You've got a lot of brains in your head and it seems that you know how to use them. A little too loyal I'm afraid for Slytherin. Looking over it all it better be, GRYFFINDOR."

Sirius rose from his seat stunned. He felt as though he had swallowed his heart and his stomach had turned over. He slowly walked to the Gryffindor table feeling very uncomfortable as every pair of eyes in the room watched him take his seat. Quickly though, and to Sirius's enjoyment, everyone adverted their attention to the next first year being placed. When the sorting was complete Sirius was happy to know that James and Remus were both in Gryffindor along with a chubby, round boy named Peter Pettigrew. The girls placed in Gryffindor were Rhys Davies, Gwen Ellis, Sarah Morrison, and the brunette form the train station, Lily Evans.

Everyone clapped and cheered when the sorting was complete, including Sirius. James seemed to de delighted to be in Gryffindor and spent the whole feast trying to cheer up Sirius, who looked rather displeased.

The Head Boy, Arthur Weasley led the first years up to their new common room. It was large, furnished with desks, bookshelves, and large comfy red chairs and sofas. A fire roared in the large stone fireplace and it had a welcoming feeling to it. "First years the password is Mandrake and it will be switched every month. You will find your luggage has already been brought up to your rooms and this is the common room. Boys' dormitories to your left, girls' to your right," Arthur Weasley shouted so everyone could here.

Sirius quickly flopped into a large, red chair and James slumped into the one next to him. "I think I can get used to this," James said smiling," Its good luck we all ended up in the same house."

"Good luck for you," Sirius said with an upset tone. "Tomorrow has been marked my death day."

Peter Pettigrew laughed at Sirius's statement, while James and Sirius stared. He quickly became quite and hurried away up the stairs to the dormitory. "It can't be that bad Sirius," James said attempting to make him happy.

"Oh, yes it can." Sirius replied.

"We better get going to sleep," Remus whispered quietly. "I don't like that way the head boy is starring at me."

James and Sirius laughed while Remus sat their mouthing "what?"

"Alright, alright let's get going, but I'm not making any promises I'm going to sleep." James stated.

"I agree with that", Sirius replied.

They ran up the stairs to their dormitory and played exploding snap for several hours until they were worn down. Everyone feel asleep except for Sirius who turned in his bed, feeling as though someone was going to jump out of the wall and attack him. Great two days with out any sleep Sirius thought to himself as he slowly feel asleep.


"I met him, today," James stated proudly.

"Met who?" Remus questioned

"The boy who's life is going to become a living hell for our next seven years, Severus Snape."

"More like Snivellus if you ask me." Sirius said joining the table for breakfast. "And it only took us twenty minuets in our first day at Hogwarts to find him."

"Sirius accidentally tripped him in the hallway and he went flying down the stairs, books landing everywhere, then he tried to hex us but we dodged and it hit one of those armored knight things—" James said proudly.

"And it came right back and hit him straight in his face and his nose swelled up to be as big as a water melon," Sirius said laughing hysterically.

"I thought you weren't going to send anyone to the hospital wing on the first day." Remus said sarcastically.

"Well I screwed over that plan, but it does prove that I can and that any one who gets in my—." Sirius said in a show off type voice, but was cut off.

"You sent some one to the hospital wing on your first day?" Lily Evans asked sounding angry and in disbelief.

"Look he's coming back to breakfast." James pointed out. And sure enough a small, hooked nosed, greasy hair child walked in with a bright, red nose. He looked very displeased and upset. He sat down at the Slytherin table by himself. Lily Evans looked as though steam was about to come out her ears. "That's horrible," she said "How could you ever do that to someone… one the first day."

"Well its not your business, you know. If what don't want to hear it you can GO AWAY before I'll hex you." Sirius yelled at her.

Lily buried her face in her books and quickly hurried out the Great Hall. "You didn't have to yell at her, you know," James said disapprovingly.

"Well, it really wasn't her business and… I mean come on she didn't have to get mad at me and…" Sirius stopped trying to justify himself when Professor McGonagall walked over to the table.

She began to hand out schedules. Sirius stared straight ahead when she got to his end of the table she stopped. "Mr. Black, I think it extraordinarily unacceptable to be starting fights on the first day of classes. But seeing as it is the first day I will let you off with only a warning, but if you have any more of these slip ups you will be having detention with me." She said angrily.

"Sorry Professor—"Sirius began to say.

"You should be," And with that she briskly took off to the teachers table muttering under her brief about students misbehaving.

"You are so lucky." Peter Pettigrew said with a smile. "I was sure you were going to be expelled."

Sirius laughed and said quietly," It's gonna take more than that to get me thrown out of this school."

And with that the four of the boys laughed leaving the Gryffindor table heading towards their first class, Potions, when a red letter landed on Sirius's books. He stopped suddenly and told his friends he'd met them at the class that he had to go to the bathroom.

He quickly opened the door to a vacant room and opened the Howler. "SIRIUS OSWALD BLACK, YOU HAVE SHAMED OUR FAMILY NAME BY BEING SELECTED INTO TO GRYFFINDOR WITH THE REST OF THOE HALFBLOODS, AND WORST OF ALL MUDBLOODS. YOU HAVE BETRAYED YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND NOW I HERE YOU'RE ASSOCIATING WITH THE POTTERS. YOU ARE GOING STRAIGHT TO PROFESSOR DUMBLEDOR THIS INSTANT AND TELLING HIM THAT YOU ARE TO BE PUT INTO SLYTHERIN. IT YOU MAKE ANOTHER SCREWUP YOU ARE COMING STRAIGHT HOME." Said his mother's voice projected three times louder than usual.

Sirius turned around to leave the room as the howler shredded itself, but Professor Dumbledore was blocking his way out. Sirius jumped in surprise, as Professor Dumbledore smiled. "I'm afraid there is nothing to do about your sorting," He said in a gentle voice. "But I think personally you like the fact that you are in Gryffindor because your family doesn't like it."

And with that had vanished from the room. Sirius thought about his last words as he walked into potions he quickly pulled a seat up next to James and began to listen to his teachers lecture.


"Do you believe that guy? A two scroll essay on the first day?" James said angrily to his three new friends as they left the potions class room and headed to transfiguration.

"Well maybe if you hadn't talked out of turn we wouldn't have to do it and we'd still have 10 more points," Lily Evans said as she briskly walked past them.

"Oh come on Lily," A red-headed girl with striking green eyes said." It wasn't totally their fault Professor Archinge was unfair. Its like he doesn't like Gryffindors."

"This just occurred to you?," Sirius asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Well, no," Rhys said in a matter of fact manner." According to all the older students all the potions teachers only like Slytherins."

Lily sighed in disbelief and hurried on ahead, while Rhys stayed behind to talk to the four. Lily immediately became annoyed "Rhys!" She hollered, "We're gonna be late for transfiguration hurry it up!!"

Rhys hurried to catch up with Lily who now was walking very fast, practically running. "So Lily, you trying to pry away anyone how might talk to me?" Sirius asked in a joking manner. "Afraid I might hex them."

James shoved him hard in th e shoulder and called out, "He's only joking."

Remus and Peter laughed as Lily Evans grunted loudly, tryign to show disrespect, but accidentally tripping over her own feet. Rhys bent down took help her up and shook Sirius an angry glare. The girls headed off even quicker and dashed so far down the corridor none of them could see them. "Sirius," James said slightly aggravated. "That was uncalled for."

"What are you her lawyer?" Sirius asked.

"No!" James answered a little to quickly.

"Right," Sirius said, while making a face as though he was in deep thought. "DO you like her?"

James looked slightly offended "No, no not at all why would you never think that?"

Sirius made an evil grin on his face. "No reason."

Sirius quickly forgot about uncovering James's crush when Snivellus turned the corner of the corridor. Sirius shoved Remus hard in the shoulder as Remus turned his head and let out a muffled laugh. "Sirius don't do something stupid" James and Peter said at the same time.

"Don't worry," Sirius said. "Perfectus totalis." He said raising his wand.

The spell hit Snape in the back as he slowly fell forward onto his books. The boys laughed as did the rest of the corridor. "Think that was funny do you?" Professor McGonagall stated.

Sirius turned around to his dismay. "I'll be seeing you tonight Mr. Black, that is if you don't have any other detentions"

"Sirius shook his head, signaling no and hurried into the classroom while the Professor unbinded Snape.


The rest of Sirius's day was, to him, extraordinarily boring. The first years seemed to do nothing but learn how to levitate a feather in Professor Flitwicks class. This James and Sirius had accomplished in their first try and spent the rest of the day flying it around the room, which they seemed to enjoy but, according to Flitwick, "it was a distraction."

They rounded out the day at dinner. This, for Sirius, didn't last long for he was made to help the house elves clean dishes with out magic.

Sirius came out of the kitchen and briskly walked up the steps to Gryffindor tower. He felt something hit him and the back and a loud pop. He immediately fell forward onto the steps, and his head hit the stair. He stared up at how was attacking him. A group of Slytherins, one of them being Bellatrix, stood on top of the stair laughing. It was the same stairs were he had accidentally tripped Snape. "Give us your worst hex then Sirius," Bellatrix said with a smile puling at her lips.

"I'm not stupid," Sirius said smiling back." If I hex you, you will dodge hit the armor and it will come back and hit me. Doing this in Snivellus defense?"

"No!" Snape came out and yelled.

"Good," Sirius said with a smile. "Because I didn't think my cousin wants to associate herself with a halfblood."

Snape looked at this in offense and became very upset. Sirius walked through the group of slytherins getting punched a few times. Before the reached the last set of stairs to the common room he smiled at them. "Boilious!" he said as it hit off the armor and right onto Snivellus who yelped in pain.

He stumbled from being tired as he walked up the stairs to Gryffindor tower. Mandrake he said in sleepy voice. The fat lady made a mean face at him, but let him in. Sirius glanced up at the clock, it was almost midnight. James, Remus and Peter sat in the common room Peter had fallen asleep on one of the comfortable looking chairs as Remus and James played wizard's chess. "You're back!" jambs yelled, which woke Peter up. "How was it?"

"Boring, like the rest of the day. I had to wash the dishes with the house elves, who wouldn't let me touch anything so I had to sit in a corner for about three hours and watch them clean them."

James stared at him looking curious. "That doesn't explain were you got that cut? Haven't you been gone for more than three hours?" Remus asked in a know it all sort of way.

"I don't know how I got it, and how am I supposed to know when I have left?" Sirius said in defense.

James and Remus stared at him unconvinced as Peter fell back asleep. "Sirius, tell us what really happened."

Sighing, Sirius went through a retelling of what had happened that night after his detention.
