Hogwarts Second Years
Chapter Ten – An Ending of Sorts
It was not a good start to the holidays. Sirius had not left James' sight since that awful day two days ago. Now they were nearing the station and James could feel Sirius tensing beside him. None of the second years had spoken much the past two days. Alice had left that fateful day with her twin sister. She had written to Lily the day before to say everything was all right, that Melody was alive. Lily had shared the letter with the other second years who wanted to know. That meant all except the Slytherin group. Well Taliyah had wanted to know as well as Morganna. Even William Boyd had asked about Melody. No one had hugged Sirius; in fact Sirius had not let anyone touch him much. He stayed near James or Remus. Narcissa had silently looked out for him but had kept her distance. As the train pulled to a stop, James sat for a while with Sirius. The other Gryffindor second years who were all in the same compartment, not wanting to be alone, slowly got up and left, saying good bye as they did so. When everyone had finally left, James turned to Sirius. The quiet boy was sitting staring blankly out the window. Giving a great sigh, James pulled Sirius to his feet. Not needing any words to convey their thoughts, they simply stared at each other, James saying he would be nearby if he needed him. Sirius saying he would be all right. And they parted ways, Sirius going over to his mother and father, his little brother, Regulus greeting him with a cleverly hidden smile. Mr and Mrs Black frowned at their son before turning and marching out of the station, the Black sisters following close behind. James saw Bellatrix attach herself to Sirius' hand once more, Andromeda was on his other side. Narcissa looked back at James and gave him a small smile. James returned it, a strange feeling in his stomach. Mr and Mrs Potter greeted their son with warm hugs and a kiss. Then they herded him out of the station to a near by Portkey, asking him questions about his year all they while. James made sure to ask if he could invite Sirius over for the holidays. He got back a ready yes and was satisfied with everything.
Severus watched as parents collected their children. He watched as the parents fawned over them, hugging and kissing. He watched as Taliyah was greeted warmly by her family and disappeared. He watched as James Potter was hugged by both his parents. He watched all this with a kind of detached feeling about him. Feeling rather sad, Severus made his way to the barrier between the two worlds and passed through it. On the other side stood his father. The small mean eyes looked down at him over that great hooked nose. Severus looked around for his mother but was told firmly by his father that she was unwell. He followed his father to the parking lot and clambered into the car. He wasn't looking forward to the holidays at all…
