Chapter 4 I can't believe that school is starting tomorrow! I chose my best muggle clothes for the Hogwarts express. the shirt was black and it had a really cool red design on it. instead of sleeves, there was black netting. I had a black skirt with the same red design on it. I had netted leggings on. I had knee-length boots on. I let my down to my shoulders and darkened my red highlights. I had to admit that I looked really cute if I could say so myself.
"Hey Lily, hurry up or we are going to be late!" I exclaimed
"Coming already, give a girl her time!" she yelled back.
"I am a girl, but you just take to long!" I shouted as I picked up my trunk and dragged it downstairs. Lily came downstairs. She looked amazing! Her clothes most certainly looked more comfortable than mine. She was wearing a sundress which brought out her eyes.
"When are James, Sirius, and Remus coming downstairs?" She asked impatiently.
"Now look who's talking." I said Just then, something that sounded like a hippo fell down the stairs came inside.
"Guys, how many times do I have to tell you not make a hippo insulted every time you come down the stairs?" Lily asked angrily with her hand on her hip.
"Sorry" Remus said. Sirius and James were just standing there with their mouths wiiiiiiiide open.
"Guys, are you hoping to be a bird house?If not, then close you black holes." I said sarcastically. James shut his mouth and started talking to Remus, hoping that he could persuade Remus to like Quidditch. Sirius was still staring at me with his mouth wide open. But I think that I could detect a blush.
"I never thought that Sirius black would blush." Said Lily teasingly. James and Sirius laughed even if I noticed that James laughed louder. I just blushed.
"Omygod we only have 20 minutes till the train leaves!" I said. "So are we doing side-along apparition or driving?"
"We are apparating with Lily, Remus, and my parents." said James.
We apparated. It was terrible. I felt like I was in a black hole, but in the recent events, we could be! When the air came back in my lungs, Lily's mom hugged me goodbye. Sirius dragged me over to the wall and pushed me at it, I thought that he was trying to kill me! But I ended up going through the wall. And crashing into a few first years. I kept on saying sorry to them. Sirius came from behind me and started heping me pick up my stuff.
"We should get a save a compartment for Lily, James, and Remus." he said.
I got up and my eyes saw the train. All I could say was wow! We found a compartment, and Sirius grabbed me and helped me get on the train, then he passed me my trunk. I heaved my trunk to the compartment. Sirius came in and sat down. We waited for Lily, James and Remus to come. The door opened and Snape came in.
"Ah, the couple," he sneered.
I felt my face heating up. Sirius blushed for the second time today. He the tendancy to blush when I was around. And just then, James came to the rescue.
"What are you doing here Snivellous?" he asked pleasantly."Just don't grease the place up." Snape just glared and walked away.
"What did he want now?" Lily asked.
"He wanted to annoy us." I said nervously. Lily had a knowing look in her eye that scared me.
The lunch trolley came while we were talking about quidditch. I volunteered to buy a little of everything. Sirius persuaded me into letting him buy half of the cut. When we came back in the compartment, everybody suddenly went quiet like they were talking about something that we shouldn't know about. It just got on my nerves that they started oohing and oohing over the food to cover up the embarrassed silence. Sirius and I sat down puzzled.
"Soooo, what is that thing next to your trunk.?" asked Remus.
"Oh, that is my guitar case, the only thing that came with me to the past." I said.
"Play for us." Sirius said nudging me. I blushed and took out my guitar and played the best song that I knew, the song was you're the voice by Joe Jonas I also sang along. All my friends from the future told me that I have a great voice. I don't know if the things that happened during the time I was singing, but all of them except for Sirius were looking at me like a specimen in a laboratory. Sirius had a glazed, happy look on his face, as though he was in heaven.
"What, why are you guys staring at me like that?" I asked after I stopped playing.
"Did you know that we had a band.?" asked James.
"Uh, no I did not know that."
"Do you want to be in our band?" asked Sirius hopefully.
"Sure." I said.
It was getting dark, so we pushed the boys out and changed into our uniforms. Then we were ushered out so that the boys could change. We started giggling when we were allowed to come back inside.
"Why are you giggling?" asked James
"Your clothes...are...on...backwards!" Lily exclaimed.
That did it, Lily, Remus, Sirius, and I rolled around laughing.
" Oh... oh well! it's a great way of showing school spirit!" yelled James and Sirius twisted his clothes so they were on backwards.
" Boys,'' said Lily wisely. I silently agreed. Just then the whistle blew and the train came to a halt. James and Sirius, trying to be courteous, picked up me and Lily's trunks respectively. That left Remus struggling helplessly with three trunks. Then an announcement came that to leave the trunks inside the train. Sirius dropped my trunk on his foot. James, trying to assist his friend, dropped Lily's trunk on HIS foot. Lily and i came to their aid. Remus, being the smart one, put his trunk down carefully. We made it to the feast. Just then, a water balloon dropped on our heads leaving us soaked. We heard Peeves cackling above. I pushed Sirius who pushed me back, and soon, all of us were slipping and sliding inside the Great Hall until I fell down. Sirius helped me up and I bowed to the clapping of many people except for the Slytherins.
" Oh, and I almost forgot. We are happy to have a transfer student from America, Selene White," said Dumbledore. " Alas, My name is Selene Luzelena Mackenzie-"
'' Sia, shut up" said the gang.
" Oops, got carried away there, You folks can call me Sia!" I said waving my hand enthusiastically. The gang made there way to Gryffindor table. I got to the end of the line for first years. Soon my name was called up. I walked up and put the hat on my head.
Hello Mr. Sorting Hat
Ahh, such an enthusiastic child.
Thank you.
And so polite. But we have to get down to business. I am sure you would make a great Slytherin with you're thirst to prove yourself. But you're thirst to learn everything is stronger. But then I see a large amount of loyalty. But there's that bravery that you would risk you're life for you're friend's I cannot decide. Give the hat to Albus.
I numbly took the hat of and gave it to Dumbledore. He and the sorting hat seemed to be having a conversation. Murmurs flew down the hall. i could just imagine all the gossip wheels turning.
" Selene White will proudly be in ... GRYFFINDOR!" yelled Dumbledore. I smiled widely and walked down and sat with my friends. The Feast was magnificent. As we were walking out of the hall, Lily told me to meet her in the common room corner. I walked inside the common room and sat in the corner. While the boys headed upstairs. I saw Lily walking towards me.
She sat down and said " So, whats going on between you and Sirius"
"Nothing." I sighed "I can't risk the future"
"Yes you can." she said fiercely,"If you like him, you have to risk it. And anyway, if you do marry him it may help me and James survive in the future"
"No I can-" but I was interrupted by James who was hiding under his invisibility cloak.
James laughed and gave me the invisibility cloak for some silly reason, and then he ran upstairs.
"No, Lily, I can't believe it, what if he tells Sirius?" I moaned.
Then it hit me, the reason that James wanted me to have the invisibility cloak was to spy on them talking.
I grinned and threw it over our heads. We sneaked upstairs to the terrace that was never mentioned in Harry Potter.
Sirius's POV:
"So she likes me?" I asked for the millionth time?
"If you ask me again, I will kill you." Said James.
"She just said that she can't risk the future." Remus said. "How do you know?" asked James.
"I don't need a cloak to be invisible"
"I like her t-" but I was interrupted by a thud and a giggle. Lily and Sia appeared out of nowhere. I groaned. "You gave them the invisibility cloak?" I asked James."I'm going to kill you." James smiled as Lily threw the cloak to him before Sirius could kill. I swore and turned around to see Sia running down the stairs.
Sia's POV I can't believe it! I feel like I could fly. But I also feel like a burst balloon. I fell asleep wondering what I should do. Now I know how Harry feels when he's stressed out. I fell asleep to troubled dreams that involved Sirius toppling through the veil.
Author's notes: That was the longest chapter I wrote! That means I deserve lots and lots of reviews. I give credit to my friend Mia, who wrote the story while I said it out loud. Now you understand the poll. What band name should I choose? should have a reasonable amout of poeple voting. right now they are none. Do what I say or no good chappie for you. Mwahaaahahhhahha!!
