Hogwarts Second Years

Chapter Two – Gee Thanks

Peter was really worried. He couldn't find anything to explain why Sirius was suddenly blind. Meanwhile they had reached the station and it was time to get off. James and Remus had helped Sirius get dressed into his school robes and James was now helping him along the hallway to the door. Remus was walking behind as a lookout and Peter was walking in front and the primary lookout and path finder. Once they had made it safely off the train they followed the other second years to where the carriages were waiting to take them the rest of the way to Hogwarts. But luck was not with them. Half way to the nearest carriage three Slytherin's stepped in front of them with nasty smirks on their faces.

"Why if it isn't the four little babies!" smirked Scarlett. Remus gave a snort.

"Babies?" he asked, "is that the worst you can come up with?"

"What happened to Siri?" questioned Jackson Nott. His twin sister, Isabella laughed.

"It looks like he can't see!" she said between giggles. Sirius had tightened his grip on James, not being able to see where the Slytherin's were.

"Buzz off!" snapped James pulling Sirius over to the carriage and started to try and help him up the tricky steps. Behind him he could hear Scarlett and Isabella laughing as they walked off with Jackson to find their friends.

"No doubt going to inform Bellatrix I really am blind!" spat Sirius, "HEY!" he cried as he felt himself leave the ground. James had physically lifted him and placed him in the carriage before jumping in himself. But before Remus and Peter could join them, two 5th year Ravenclaw's jumped in and shut the door.

"Sorry, I need to speak with Sirius!" the tall girl said in apology to Remus who looked absolutely livid at being shut out in the rain. James watched him disappear with Peter, no doubt muttering under his breath about pushy Prefects.

"Sirius?" the girl turned to Sirius, a questioning look in her eyes. James noticed they were the same as Sirius's, that same bright blue.

"Andromeda?" asked Sirius with a shake in his voice. One hand reached out.

"Yes, it's me, and Ted Tonks, remember I told you about him?" asked Andromeda taking Sirius's hand and drawing him to her lap.

"Oh Andi, I can't see!" cried Sirius as tears began to fall down his cheeks. James felt so helpless as he sat there and watched his best mate cry about something his horrible mother had done to him. Kindly Ted saw the frustrated look on James's face and leaned over.

"It's all right, James is it? Andi and I have come to see if we can fix it before we get to the school!" Ted gave James a bright smile. After a short time, Andromeda placed Sirius next to James where he immediately snuggled up to him. Then she and Ted got down to business. Whispering to each other and examining something around Sirius that James could not see they both nodded and raised their wands together. There was a bright flash of light and then Sirius was rubbing his eyes. He frowned.

"Andi I still can't see!" he whined in that voice of his that he used to use at the start of first year to get his own way. Andromeda just laughed.

"Silly, it will take a while to work!" she said to him kindly.

"You should be able to see by bed time!" Ted added as he opened the door and jumped out before helping Andromeda out. James followed and turned and lifted Sirius down.

"I wish you wouldn't do that!" whined Sirius and he found his feet and latched onto James once more. James laughed and gently gave him a push.

"Its fun!" he said as if that explained it. Then the two made their way to the Great Hall for the Sorting and Feast.

"I wonder what was wrong with Sirius?" questioned Myra to her friend Cadien as they sat in the Ravenclaw Common Room. Cadien shrugged as lay back on the sofa, blowing his blond hair from his eyes as he did so. Myra pushed in next to him making sure to flick her red hair over his face.

"I mean, he was rather clingy to James for most of the time. It was rather funny but I do wonder what happened to him!" she continued. Cadien huffed and brushed her hair off of him. He saw Jetta, Lyam and Padriac in one corner by themselves. Amira was already up in the girl's dormitory and Marlene and Emmiline were talking to Corey and Darian. The Ravenclaw 2nd years were a rather interesting bunch. Jetta and Lyam liked to talk of nothing but Quiditch and were possibly the only ones who didn't really study for anything. Padriac was best friends with Lyam so he would listen to them talk and just absorb it in; it was he who managed to get those two to actually study for anything. Marlene and Emmiline were both Muggle born and lived next door to each other. They got on pretty well with Corey and Darian most of the time or else they were talking to their other friend in Gryffindor, Lily Evans. Amira would often hang with Myra or himself.

"Did you notice how smug Bellatrix Black looked during the feast?" It seemed Myra was off on another track. Cadien smiled and listened to Myra talk of what had happened during the feast. She had done it last year and he supposed it was a yearly thing that she would do.

"So your dad is gonna be DADA teacher this year!" that was Amira. It seemed she had returned. Cadien sat up with a start. Amira laughed at his horrified expression.

"What's going on?" asked Jetta rushing over, not wanting to be left out of anything.

"Cadien's dad is our new DADA teacher!" giggled Amira. Soon Jetta and Lyam were laughing too. Padriac just gave Cadien a sympathetic look.

"Cheer up, I'm sure he can't be that bad!" Padriac said with a sad smile. Myra was laughing along with the twins.

"I'm going to bed!" grumbled Cadien standing up and making his way to the boy's dormitory. Myra caught him before he got completely away.

"Don't worry, it won't be that bad I'm sure!" she said confidently. Sometimes Myra was too brave for her own good.

"Thanks Myra!" Cadien said going updtairs.

"Give it back!" screamed Arabella Figg as she chased Hamish Bell around the Hufflepuff Common Room. "Hamish give it back!"

"Catch me if you can!" teased Hamish jumping over a table and brandishing his prize at Arabella. Amelia Bones kept her head in her book as she tried not to laugh. Beside her, Melody was laughing as the two ran past her for the third time.

"Hey Lia, watch this!" she hissed as they headed for her again. Carefully, Melody stuck out her foot and Hamish went flying. Amelia looked up and laughed out loud. Arabella was not happy. She pushed past the Smith twins and headed for Hamish.

"You broke it!" shrieked Arabella upon finding her possession. It had been a porcelain cat but now it was broken. Screaming, Arabella threw herself on Hamish and began to hit and pinch him.

"Stop! Stop! That hurts! Arabella get off me!" Hamish joined his cries to Arabella's screams. The other second years gathered round to watch. It was a common occurrence for them, Arabella and Hamish fighting. Finally, fifth year prefect, Flynn Moody came to see about the noise. Giving a dramatic sigh, she lifted Arabella off Hamish and turned to the others.

"Scoot!" she said firmly, "to bed with you all!" Grumbling the second years stomped off to their respective dormitories.

"Hamish Bell, apologise to Arabella now!" commanded Flynn.

"Sorry Arabella," whispered Hamish.

"Good, now off to bed the both of you!" Flynn gave them a gently push the right way. Once they were safely upstairs and two doors had slammed she gave a great laugh before going to join her friends.

"Thanks for all the help Declan!" she said sarcastically to fellow prefect and Quiditch team mate, Declan Sprite. Declan smiled.

"Seemed you had it all under control!" Declan said with a grin.

"Next time Figg and Little Bell fight you deal with it!" Flynn said.

"Gee thanks!" groaned Declan. Just then shouts came from the 2nd year boy's dormitory. Flynn and Declan exchanged looks. It was the Smith twins and Hamish Bell for sure they guessed. Declan heaved a great sigh and stomped up the stairs. It was going to be one long year with Hamish Bell starting fights.

Taliyah lay on her bed listening to her room mate's sleep. After the feast, Mary Tudor and Lucius Malfoy had ordered all up to their rooms to sleep. Taliyah was sure this didn't happen in the other Houses. Often she wondered why the Slytherin's acted different to others. She didn't really understand the reason behind why they were all so mean to Sirius Black. Sure he was Bellatrix and Narcissa's cousin and the heir to the Black family fortune. But surely being sorted into Gryffindor was something to be proud of. Mairead Bagman was in Slytherin but her older brother was in Hufflepuff yet they never picked on Ludo for being a Hufflepuff. And no one ever mentioned the other Black sister who was in Ravenclaw. Taliyah knew her parents would be horrified by what went on in the Slytherin Common Room. Sometimes Taliyah wished she had been sorted into Ravenclaw like her father rather than Slytherin like her mother. If only she didn't have that strong desire to prove herself all the time. When she spent too much time with the other girls in her year she was as bad as Scarlett. But feeling power over another student gave her a strange thrill. Deep down she knew it was wrong but it felt good and Lucius encouraged it. Getting beaten by a Gryffindor was the worst offence possible. Poor Severus fell under that category. Last year he had tried to pick on James Potter and James had retaliated, soundly beating Severus and leaving him humiliated. The other boys in their year laughed at Severus and the girls were no better. Now it seemed as though Severus was on a mission to beat James but also stay out of his way. Rolling over and closing her eyes, Taliyah decided that maybe she should watch out for Severus this year just to see he didn't get too hurt. He would thank her for it later.

Up in the Gryffindor boy's dormitory, Sirius Black was jumping about and laughing. Sometimes he would bump into things but mostly he could see fine. James was jumping about with him, pulling him away from bed posts and Sirius accidentally ran into them. Remus was sitting on his bed reading a book and Peter was jumping on his own bed laughing at the two boys in the centre of the room. The fifth and last member of the room, Frank Longbottom, sat on his own bed quietly laughing at the madness of his room mates.

"I can see!" crowed Sirius as he ran into a bed post and promptly fell backwards. James helped him up and turned him to his bed.

"But Jamesy, I'm not tired yet!" sighed Sirius stifling a yawn.

"Don't call me that and go to bed!" James said with a mock scowl.

"Early start tomorrow!" said Remus putting aside his book and snuggling under his covers sounding excited. The other boys groaned but went to their separate beds and burrowed under their covers. Saying goodnight the lights went out. A few minutes later James felt his bed move slightly under Sirius's weight.

"Can I sleep here James?" asked Sirius softly.

"Sure!" said James moving over and allowing Sirius to climb in with him.

"Thanks James," Sirius whispered before falling asleep.
