Everything you recognize belongs to J.K. Rowling.


First morning of classes and I was up early. I quickly got dressed into my uniform, sneaking downstairs. I knew that it was too early for breakfast, so I decided to visit Remus. After about half an hour of searching, I finally found his office. I slowly opened the door, knocking. He looked up from his desk, "Lux, come in." He said surprised to see me up so early. "You're up earlier then usual."

I walked up to his desk, "I was too nervous to sleep for much longer, so I thought that I would come visit you."

"Well how kind," he said with a smile. "So, I must say I am proud of you. Ravenclaw, very unexpected."

I smiled, "some thing that I love. This will make things much easier."

"Is there some thing you needed to talk to me about?"

"Well, I just wonder how this year will play out. We're so far from home. And what about the others, I'm worried about them."

Remus let out a sigh, "Don't worry about them. You know very well they are strong. Plus you know they'll look after each other. And as for you, well you're safe here."

I nodded, "I guess you're right."

He smiled at me reassuringly. "Now, you'll need your energy for today. So you best get going and get some food in you. I'm sure they'll be serving breakfast soon."

"Yes, they should be. I guess I'll see you later Remus. Or Professor," I said in a questioning tone. He nodded, chuckling slightly.

I was on my way to the Great Hall until, "Oi," some one called behind me.

I turned around to see one of the ginger twins running towards me. "May I help you," I asked.

"No, but I'm guessing that you're on your way to breakfast?"

"Yes I am in fact," I said as I started to walk.

I noticed him shove something into his back pocket, maybe some kind of parchment? I decided not to bring it up, but kept walking. "I'm George by the way," he stated. "Fred's still getting ready."

"That's nice I guess," I said.

"So what is your story," he questioned with a raised eyebrow.

I glanced at him, "That's not creepy."

He blushed, "I don't mean it that way. But I mean like, why come here?"

"Well," I started. "I came here just to try out a different school," I lied.

"Honestly, why would you even want to come here?"

"Well…my parents came here."

"And that's the reason," I smiled.

"Love your parents that much?"

I ignored the question completely, not wanting to lie about anything. "I'm Luxintha Black, in case you missed that."

"Mind if I call you Luxi?"

"Do as you please."

"Well…Luxi, shall we walk to the Great Hall together?"

"Why not," I smiled.

George and I walked to the Great Hall, getting to know each other, more like just him. As we walked into the Great Hall, George suddenly stopped, and that's when I noticed there were people in front of us. I noticed that it was Harry and his two friends from the train. "Um, excuse me," Harry started. "But…I was told that you saved me on the train."

"Yeah, it was nothing really. Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, great actually, I just wanted to thank you and all. And I'm Harry, Harry Potter. And these are my friends, Hermione," he said pointing to the frizzy headed girl to his left. "And this is Ron," he said pointing to the ginger boy to his right.

"Yes I know your name, not from your scar though. Professor Lupin is my guardian, and he was friends with your parents. Just so happens that you look much like your father, I've seen plenty of pictures of James. And a pleasure to meet both of you." I said smiling at Ron and Hermione. "I'm Luxintha Black by the way."

I noticed Harry's red headed friend to his right seem a little nervous as Harry spoke. "Well nice to meet you."

I looked at Ron. "You alright, you seem nervous or something."

"Well…Your name, Black. By any chance are you related to Sirius Black?" He asked with a shaky voice.

George slapped Ron in the back of his head. Hermione spoke up, "Honestly Ron how could you be so rude? Besides, Black seems to be a fairly popular surname."

"Sorry Luxi, you'll have to forgive my brother, he is a bit of a git!" George stated while glaring at his brother. So they were related, guess that explains why they look a lot alike.

"No, guys don't worry about it." I looked back at Ron. "Yes, he was my mother's cousin, which makes him my second cousin I believe. But really, I might have met him when I was a baby, but I never really knew him. And just to tell you, I wasn't raised in the Black household, I was taken in by Lupin when I was just a little baby. So I can guarantee that I am not like my family."

"Oh, well, alright." Ron said blushing.

I laughed, "Well I don't know about you people but I would like to go eat breakfast before my first class. So I'll see you all later," I waved as I walked to my house table.

I quickly finished my breakfast, and then I gathered my things then walked off to my first class which was potions. I sat in the middle of the room, putting my stuff on the table. I heard the chair next to me move, and someone sat down. "Hello Luxintha," I heard a girl's voice.

"Hi Hermione, so you're in my class," I smiled at the frizzy haired girl.

"Appears so, Ron and Harry are here too," She turned to look behind us. There, in the two seats, were Ron and Harry.

"Hello boys, nice to see you again."

They both said there hello's, but it wasn't long before Professor Snape walked in. He began his speech of his expectations. But not long into it, someone came in. "Ah, Mr. Malfoy, how nice of you to join us."

I froze at the name, Malfoy. A name I didn't really want to hear, because I knew that name. I slowly turned around, and there was that same bleach blonde hair, it was my cousin Draco. I continued to stare, until he shot me a look. I quickly turned around and pretended to listen to the speech. The whole class though, I felt eyes burning into my back, Draco knew me, I could feel it.

As soon as the bell rang, indicating the end of class. My stuff was already packed and I ran out the room. I left so quickly thinking no one was close enough to catch me, but I was wrong. As soon as I walked out the door, someone grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side. "Luxintha," Draco asked me, seeming to examine me to see if I was actually me. "So I did hear right. Now what the bloody hell are you doing here?"

"Let go of me Draco," I hissed.

His grip only got tighter; I knew I would end with a bruise here. "My family thought you died with Aunt Eldera, but you didn't? So were have you been, huh? You have cost us so much. My parents mourned over the loss of your damn family. Your precious father and mother, my parents adored you though, oh yes the powerful Luxintha Black!"

"I said let go of me Draco, I don't want to do this right now! This isn't the time or the place."

"Why should I?"

"Malfoy, she said let go," Harry said appearing right next to us.

"This doesn't concern you Potter, so mind your own business, these are family matters," Draco sneered.

"Family," Harry questioned.

"My mother is from the house of Black, she was Eldera Black's sister, Luxintha's mother."

I continued to glare, then jerked away my arm. "Don't worry about it Harry, Draco and I were never really close." I quickly turned on my heels, walking off. Now that Draco knew I was still around, no doubt he would blab to his parents. This was something I really did not want.

Full moons came, and they went. Over the next few months I grew close to not only the Golden Trio, but Fred and George. Also, including Luna, Ginny, and Neville, they all were pretty amazing. As for Drelladean though, we had drifted apart. To be honest, I wasn't even sure how I felt about it.

Now, as for the present, today was supposed to be our first trip to Hogsmeade. Remus had signed mine, so I was standing by Hermione and Ron waiting for Harry to show up. When he arrived he went straight to Professor McGonagall. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but whatever it was seemed to be upsetting Harry. "I'll be right back," I said as I walked towards Harry.

As I reached Harry and the professor, I could hear what McGonagall said, "I'm sorry Potter." I watched her walked past me, I turned back to Harry. I noticed he was walking back into the castle.

I turned back to Hermione, who was looking at me. I nodded at her, indicating her to go on without me. I walked after Harry, "Harry wait up!"

He stopped, "Luxintha, I thought you were going with the others."

"I was, but I thought I should stay with you. I mean, it's not right for you to be alone."

"But, I don't want to hold you back. If you want to go, then go."

I smiled, "No, it's fine really. I thought I should stay behind and help you find a way to get to Hogsmeade."

He chuckled, "Alright, if you really want to help me."

"I would love too!"

As Harry and I were sitting out in the halls thinking of ways to get to Hogsmeade sitting outside in the courtyard. In this time, we actually learned much about each other, I guess you could say we bonded. And truth be told, I loved it. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. As we were discussing Snape I heard some one clear their throat next to me, and there was Drelladean. "Drella," I asked. "I thought you went to Hogsmeade?"

"I did," she said with arrogance. "But I came back. But where were you, I thought you were going?"

"I decided not to, Harry couldn't go."

Drelladean looked at Harry with disgust, "so you stayed here?"

"Yes, do you have a problem with that?"

"No, of course not," I could tell she was lying. "But, I need to talk to you Lux, alone."

I looked at Harry; he nodded, telling me to go. "I'll see you later Harry, bye."

I followed Drelladean into a nearby hall where she began. "Don't see why you hang out with some of the people you do. Honestly Lux, you seem so much better."

"Excuse me," I hissed.

"Well, the people you hang out with. Like that Luna girl, she is crazy! Then there are those Weasley's, they're dirty Lux. Then that Granger girl, she is a filthy mudblood. Then Harry potter," she sneered. "You could do so much better!"

By now I wanted to slap her, "First of all Luna is amazing! And the Weasleys seem nice enough, besides the twins are the funniest people I have ever met. Then Hermione is a muggle born, but she is brilliant! Then Harry, I feel like he is like my brother. So I suggest you shut your trap Drelladean, you've changed. And I have to say this attitude of yours in really not working for me!"

Drelladean frowned, "I have not changed."

"Yes you have since you were put in Slytherin."

"Being put in Slytherin happens to be one of the best things that have ever happened! It's opened my eyes Lux, I see now who I really am!"

"And who are you really?"

"I'm a pure-blood witch, and Draco has showed me what it means to be a pure-blood."

I shook me head, "Whatever you say. So it that all you wanted to say, because if it is, I should go." By this point I was annoyed, I didn't want to even deal with her at this point. Actually I was half tempted to get my wand and jinx her.

"Actually, no, I wanted to talk to you about next year."

"What about next year?"

"I won't be attending Hogwarts anymore, I'm leaving."

"And where on earth are you going?"

"I'm going to go live with my Aunt Lillianna."

"You mean the pure-blood loving aunt that lives in Spain?"

"Yes actually. I will be starting at Bellatonia School for Witches."

"But Drella, Lillianna hates anything that isn't pure!"

"Lux, honestly, it's nothing. This school just wasn't for me."

"Sure, listen I have to go, bye." Before another word could be spoken I started walking away. Drelladean was being idiotic, and I wanted the old Drelladean back. The one, who was my friend, and didn't care about blood, as I rounded the corner I ran into some one. "Oh, I'm so sorry," I said apologizing.

"Luxi," I heard George ask.

"Oh, hi George," I said looking up at him. I had to say, he was extremely tall compared to my size, and I was five foot four!

"Where are you off too?"

"Not really sure, just kind of got into a fight with Drella."

"Oh," he said apologetically. "I'm sorry Luxi."

"No, no, it was coming anyway."

"Well, can I ask what it was about?"

"Let's just say she was being a complete idiot. Glad she'll be staying with her Aunt Lillianna from now on."

"I'm assuming you aren't too fond of Lillianna," he said with a slight chuckle.

"She is a pure-blood loving fanatic, much like my family."

"Well, I am sure everything will work out…eventually. But until then, let's go have some fun?"

I smiled, "You sure do know how to cheer me up."

As the year went on, full moons came and full moons went. Remus was still doing an amazing job at teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. But today, the day of a full moon, Snape had taken over the class. I guess I wasn't paying much attention until I heard werewolves. At this, I shot up. Snape knew, it was obvious at that point. Then, while I wasn't paying attention once again, he announced that we had a paper to write, that was just what I needed. But I managed to hear Harry say that he had Quidditch tomorrow, which I had almost forgotten.

It was the next day, and we were getting ready for the game. I made sure I wore red and yellow, I was defiantly cheering for Gryffindor. Not only was Harry on the team, but so were Fred and George.

I stood in the crowd with Ron and Hermione; we were both cheering at the top o our lungs. I watched Harry; he seemed to have noticed the snitch. Both he and the Hufflepuff's Seeker, Cedric, dashed off up high in the air till they were out of sight. I really don't know how they could do it, it was freezing outside. Honestly, the weather was horrible.

I then noticed some thing coming out of the sky; it was the Seeker from Hufflepuff. "Where's Harry," I heard Hermione ask.

As soon as she said that I heard a girl scream. Everyone looked up, and there was Harry falling. Right behind him were dementors, a lot of them. Right before Harry hit the ground, he stopped.

Suddenly Dumbledore appeared in the middle of the arena, he looked furious. He banished the dementors from the ground, and that was the end of that. Harry was quickly taken to the hospital wing. We all rushed after him, and then waited for him to wake up. We only waited for about less then an hour when he came too. "W-what happened, did we win?"

"Harry," Hermione began, "No one blames you, the dementors weren't supposed to come into the grounds. Dumbledore was furious, he sent them packing."

Harry looked disappointed. I touched his shoulder and smiled, "Harry, there is always next time." He smiled, knowing I was right.
