A/N: Well it's spring break here (YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and I have much
more time to write. That makes me very happy! I also have more time to
read. Anyway, I am looking forward to summer vacation. I can't wait. When
will school end? Oh well, I have some time off, so I'm happy about that.
Disclaimer: Nope, still don't.
I'm not in the mood for Disclaimer. I feel more like reading and writing and that kinda stuff. I don't know how long this chapter will be. I hope long enough. Well, I'll stop delaying you. Here's chapter three!
Chapter 3: Mrs. Black's wrath
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sirius was asleep for the moment. He was quite enjoying that. He could hear someone calling his name. He groaned and pulled the comforter farther over his head.
"We have classes!" Someone pulled the hangings away from Sirius's four-poster bed and brilliant sunlight filled in. Sirius didn't know the sun could be that bright.
"Leave me alone James," he mumbled from under his comforter.
"Come on Sirius! We're going to be late for breakfast!" James said in anguish.
At the sound of the word breakfast Sirius jumped up. He quickly got ready. Five minutes later he was standing in front of James ready to go.
"To breakfast!" Sirius said, and began walking toward the door.
'Well at least I know how to get him up from now on,' James thought as he followed Sirius. "Do you remember the way to the Great Hall?"
"Nope." They looked at each other.
"Great. Where's Remus? Maybe he remembers."
"Possible. How do you expect me to know I just woke up!"
James rolled his eyes and they made their way to the Gryffindor common room. There they saw Lily and Celebrean talking by the portrait hole. The two girls were laughing over something. Lily smiled and left the common room.
"Have you seen Remus?" Sirius asked Celebrean.
"Remus? Yeah he came down awhile ago."
"Thanks."
Sirius and James exited the common room to find themselves face to face with Remus.
"It took you two long enough! Come on I'm hungry and we'll miss breakfast!"
The three began walking. The portraits pointed and whispered along the way. They heard some snippets of conversation as they walked down corridors on the way to the Great Hall.
"A Potter and a Black."
"See them two? The boy with the glasses and the other boy with the shoulder length hair? That's James Potter and Sirius Black that is! Walking together!"
"See the young Black? Sorted into GRYFFINDOR!"
"Smart boy that Black is. Finally a decent one."
They finally escaped the whispering as they made it to the Great Hall. The Gryffindor table was almost full. They sat down together, the mouse haired boy across from them, and Lily not far away.
Celebrean came in soon after and sat in the vacant place next to Lily.
As everyone ate, discussions went to classes. What would be the hardest? Which teacher would be most terrible? What class would be most fun, and could they sleep in any of the classes. (This comment was issued from first year Tedd, who had been up late trying to find his wand, later discovering it in the common room.)
Soon there was the sound of thousands of owls flying into the great hall. This surprised many first years. A note fell to James plate.
James opened it and read it allowed.
Dear James,
Congratulations on making it in Gryffindor. I expect you to behave. If you don't behave you'll be in serious trouble, you hear me? No blowing up the school, or anything like that. I'll keep this short, as it's your first day of lessons, but expect a serious lecture if we get any word of you misbehaving. Have a great year and please writ us soon!
Mom & Dad
James rolled his eyes and put the letter away. He looked at Sirius, who was scanning the owls for one of the Black families, knowing what was coming.
James looked up too. He saw an owl with a red envelope approaching. 'Uh oh,' he thought.
The howler was dropped on Sirius's plate. He opened it slowly and suddenly Mrs. Black's voice filled the great hall.
"SIRIUS BLACK I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! GRYFFINDOR? GRYFFINDOR! YOUR COUSIN ANDROMEDA GOT INTO RAVENCLAW, AND LOOK HOW BAD SHE HAD IT! I MEAN IT'S GOOD TO HAVE SMARTS BUT BRAVERY! WHO NEEDS BRAVERY? YOU'RE IN A HOUSE FULL OF MUDBLOOD FILTH AND YOU'RE PROBABLY MAKING FRIENDS WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF MUDBLOODS! YOU BLOOD TRAITOR! YOU ARE NO SON OF MINE! YOUR FATHER AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU DURING CHIRTMAS BREAK, GOT THAT! DURING THIS SUMMER WE'LL STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT, BELIEVE ME WE WILL SIRIUS!
Many students couldn't believe this, but Mrs. Black wasn't done yet.
YOU BETTER FIND SOME WAY TO GET INTO SLYTHERIN, OR YOU'RE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE SIRIUS BLACK! GOT THAT! I WILL NOT HAVE MY SON DISGRACE ME! WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE YOUR BROTHER? DON'T YOU DARE SHAME THE FAMILY ANY MORE THEN YOU ALREADY HAVE!
The Howler burst into flames. The Great hall was silent, before the Slytherins began laughing. Sirius stood up and marched out of the hall.
James stood and followed him, muttering to Remus to grab their schedules when they were passed out.
He quickly caught up with Sirius. "Sirius wait up!" Sirius stopped and waited for James to catch up. "You okay?"
Sirius didn't answer, but looked up at James. He could tell Sirius was really upset. "Come on Sirius talk to me I'm serious."
"No I'M serious," Sirius answered.
"That one will get old really fast," James pointed out.
"Then all the more power to it," Sirius responded.
They began walking slowly toward class. About five minutes later, Remus caught up to them. He handed them each their schedule before looking at the floor.
Outside the transfiguration classroom, their first class, with the Slytherins, they met up with Bellatrix. She stood in front of the entrance to the classroom, blocking their path. She sneered at Sirius and walked up to him.
A boy with hair so blond it looked white walked up with two huge boys. They stood behind Bellatrix with smirks on their faces.
"You!" She grabbed Sirius by the collar of his shirt. "Blood traitor! Do you know what this has done to my reputation? Do you know how you've tainted the Black name? Gryffindor! I didn't think you could sink any lower after I saw you with those mudbloods on the train but getting into Gryffindor! I can't believe you!"
She threw him to the ground and stood over him. "How could you Sirius? Your mother is seething! You've destroyed everything we worked all these years to prove!"
Sirius glared at her and stood up. Bellatrix seemed unfazed by this, as she was in her 5th year. She grabbed Sirius and pushed him against the wall, looking out of the corner of her eye to see the two large boys were holding back James and Remus. "I'll kill you Sirius."
She punched him hard in the stomach to stun him. He doubled over but looked up at her. Bellatrix raised her wand but that's all she did. Professor McGonagall had come to see what all the commotion had been about.
"Ms. Black I do not know what you were thinking but I am disappointed in you. Twenty points from Slytherin! Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle!" She looked at the three who had stood behind Bella. "Another twenty points from Slytherin. Release Mr. Potter and Mr. Lupin immediately!"
They released them.
"Now all of you, to your classes!" the group all scurried away from the seething teacher and into their classes.
Professor McGonagall walked up to Sirius. "Are you okay Mr. Black?"
Sirius nodded and stood up straight. Him, James, and Remus made their way into class.
There were more troubles to come.
