Chapter 2: Changes

A/N: I do not own Harry Potter, but boy would I be rich if I did (lol).

"Changes?" I asked, confused. "Um, what changes?"

"They will be few, but they will be great; he looked me over, the first of these being you, which has thus far been completed. Now, the next thing that I am going to tell you, you are not going to like, or even understand right now." Sirius paused as if to catch his breath. "Safaia, you must leave Hogwarts."

"WHAT? Why?" You had better not tell me that I have to go back to Privet Drive because no one and I mean no one, not even you, can make me stay there instead of being at Hogwarts!" I knew that I was yelling at Sirius but at that moment I did not care.

Sirius just looked at me and sighed. "No Safaia, no. Please settle down. You will not be sent there. You, my dear boy, will be going to America. You are going to a very special American school. It is the most prestigious American magic schools. There you will be trained by a very special American wizard. Listen to what he has to say. He has taught many people many things, and he is very wise."

I just looked at the floor after hearing that. I felt tears on my face and I quickly wiped them away. I swallowed the lump that had suddenly formed in my throat. I took a deep breath and finally spoke. "Sirius," I asked timidly, "will I ever be able to return to Hogwarts?" The faces of Hermione, Ron and the rest of the Weasleys ran through my mind. I could not bear to never see them again.

"Yes," answered Sirius, seeing my pain. "You will be allowed to go back, in time, when you are ready."

"Well, when will I be ready?"

Sirius smiled tenderly at me. "Oh you'll know Safaia. You'll know."
