Chapter two: Off to Hogwarts Again
Recap if I put it twice by accident.
The summer went by way too fast for them and the next thing they knew they were aboard Hogwarts express. Sierra, Harry, and Ginny went to find a compartment to themselves no luck so they sat with Luna, Ginny introduced them to and Neville.
Soon after the train started they were joined by Ron and Hermione again, Ron looking disgusted.
"What's up with you Ron?" Asked Sierra.
"Can you believe Malfoy is a Prefect along with that cow Pansy Parkinson."
"Ah I see." Sierra said.
After a few minutes of talking about prefects and what they have to do Malfoy came in and said, "So weasel how does it feel to be second best to Potter?"
"Shut-it Malfoy!" Sierra said angrily.
"Tut-tut not a way to talk to a prefect now is it. Especially since you are a half-breed. So Potter I unlike you are a prefect so you better watch out or else I'll be dogging your footsteps."
"Get out!" Hermione said and he left.
The students arrived at the great hall and waited for the sorting to start. As the sorting ended Dumbledore stood up and motioned for them all to eat. As they finished eating Dumbledore stood up once again and they all heard a "hem, hem." All heads turned her way and Dumbledore backed down and Sierra just glared at the woman. Harry noticed this but would ask later about it. She said her bit and the students left, Hermione angry about the speech but Sierra could care less what the witch was about to do. Interfere with Hogwarts, she was in for a big treat.
As Harry and Sierra entered the common room all went silent and the two exchanged glances.
"How was your summer Dean?" Harry asked him casually.
"All right better than Seamus's anyway." Dean answered.
"What happened?" Sierra asked looking at Harry and taking his hand knowing it wasn't about to go wrong.
"My mum didn't want me to come back to Hogwarts this year." He answered Sierra.
"What? Why?" Harry asked and Sierra closed her eyes.
"Because of you." He answered.
"So your mum, like the others believes that Dumbledore Cedric and I are liars?" Harry asked him getting angry.
"Look, why don't you tell us what happened in the graveyard?" Someone asked.
"Look it is none of your business either I'm sure if you had the same thing happen to you, you wouldn't want to recount the events to everyone in this room either." Sierra said angrily then Ron and Hermione came and asked, "What is going on?"
"Apparently people can't get their heads out of their butts and know that what happened last June is reality and not fantasy." Sierra said angrily.
"You believe him?" Another Gryffindor asked.
"Yes I believe him; one he has never lied to anyone and two he is my best friend." Sierra said to the Gryffindor.
"Then again I here all werewolves are gullible." The Gryffindor said and Harry rounded on him and said, "Excuse me who told you?"
"Her father told my dad who is friends with him told him who told the family. Then her father told me to tell the Gryffindors and in return ruin her reputation."
"Who is your father and what is your name?" Ron asked also defending Sierra.
"Keith Franz. My name is Terry Franz."
"Well Franz as you can see I already have someone who is going try and make my life hell this year I don't need two people doing it." Sierra said angrily.
"In case you haven't notice Franz not one person jumped when you mentioned that she was a werewolf. In fact we were even taught by one." Hermione said.
"I know we were taught by one Granger I thought he was a load of rubbish." Franz said and left the room.
"Are you all right Sierra?" Harry asked and she shook her head no and turned to Harry and said, "I should probably go and see Dumbledore before Franz makes an announcement tomorrow morning."
"Right, I'll get my cloak and come with you." Harry said and she nodded. When he came back down he threw the cloak over them and they headed to Dumbledore's office.
The two guessed the password and hurried up the stairs and Harry took of the cloak and they walked in. Dumbledore came in his office and looked surprised and said, "What do I owe the two of you visit this late at night?"
"I came here for support but Sierra needs to tell you something before the news breaks out tomorrow." Harry said and he took Sierra's hand and she said, "Tonight I met Terry Franz and he knows about my condition and told the entire Gryffindor common room. Obviously no one else cares but I'm already worried about Umbridge and what she could do. I don't need someone like Franz mess it up even more for me." Sierra explained.
"One thing Sierra Umbridge has no idea that you are who you are. I know I'm supposed to let all the staff know about your illness but this one is an exception. We'll have to make real good excuses for this one don't worry I'll take care of it. The reason she doesn't know this is she is not in charge of the dangerous creatures part of the ministry they only report it to Fudge. Now I suggest that you be careful around Delores, Harry, Sierra. If she does find out Sierra will need her friends 100 percent by her side because it will not be an easy fight for her. As for Franz I will speak to him now personally please send him up and tell him the Password Harry." Dumbledore said opening the door for them.
"Thanks professor." Sierra said.
"Not a problem my dear." Dumbledore said looking straight at her. Harry pulled the cloak over him and they went off toward the common room.
Chapter three: Professor Umbridge
The next morning the girls met the two guys in the common room for breakfast but then were interrupted by Franz.
"Told Dumbledore on me didn't you Black?" Franz said glaring at her.
"Listen just leave her alone she has done nothing to you or anyone." It wasn't Harry, Ron or Hermione but Fred.
"Still have feelings for her eh Fred?" Franz said grinning.
"I'm surprised you weren't sorted into Slytherin." Angelina said coming up and taking Fred's hand and Franz raised an eyebrow.
"It looks like your plan back fired Franz. Instead of everyone turning on me they turned on you." Sierra said grinning.
"You bet it has Franz, if you dare tell anyone we will personally make life difficult for you." George said and the group made their way down to breakfast and they all laughed as they went down and Franz glared at the group. It wasn't the end of his battle and he was going to make sure of that.
As the group sat down for breakfast they were handed their timetables that morning and when Sierra got hers she groaned.
"Bad schedule?" George asked and she nodded.
"We've got Umbridge, Snape and Trelawney all in one day." Ron answered.
"I have the same except I have Professor Vector." Sierra said.
"We better go so we're not late for Umbridge," Hermione said and Sierra agreed.
They arrived on time and entered in the class room and sat into the back. When everyone else entered and got seated she motioned for Sierra to come forward and she obeyed. "My dear, I believe you are not allowed in this classroom." Umbridge said loud enough for everyone to her.
"What do you mean I'm not allowed in this room this is a required course and it is my OWLs year too." Sierra said just as loud.
"I am quite certain once the next law is passed you will not even be attending Hogwarts." Umbridge said smiling and handed Sierra a note who left. Then she took the note straight to Professor McGonagall.
"Ms. Black what a surprise." McGonagall said and Sierra handed her a note and the Professor sighed. "Starting already is she?" Sierra nodded.
"During the empty time you have I'm going to see if Remus can't teach you defense for the fifth year and I will talk to Dumbledore about this and I will be paying Remus as well." She said and the two began talking about numerous of things when Harry stormed in and also handed her a note.
"Mr. Potter, is it true that you called Delores a liar?" McGonagall said and Sierra's eyes went wide.
"Yes." Harry answered.
"Mr. Potter have a biscuit." McGonagall offered.
He grabbed one as the basket was handed to him and Sierra took one as well. "Mr. Potter it says here that she has given you detention every night of the week."
"What Professor can't you?"
"No I can't she is your teacher and has every right to give you one. Did you listen to Delores at the feast?"
"Yeah but then Hermione explained it to us again though." Harry said.
"Please Mr. Potter tread carefully around Delores. Not only can she make you life miserable she'll make Sierra's even more." McGonagall said.
Sierra and Harry got up and left the classroom and bumped into Angelina. "Why did you land yourself in detention on Friday?"
"What? Oh yeah quidditch try outs!" Harry said.
"Now he remembers!" Angelina said and continued. "Did I tell you that I wanted everyone to be there to see who fits best for the new seeker."
"Well I'm sorry Angelina you'd think I want to be in detention with her?"
"Well ask if you can switch it for a different night. Tell her that You-know-who was a figment of your imagination. I don't care how you do it make sure that you are there!" Angelina said and walked off and Harry and Sierra exchanged looks and headed off to lunch.
"I think I'm going to write Puddlemere united to see if Wood is still there. Because I think Angelina is followed in his footsteps." Harry said as he and Sierra sat across from Ron and Hermione.
"What happened to you Sierra? Why were you dismissed from class?" Hermione asked.
"You should know why Hermione. I have a feeling that she knows the other half of me." Sierra said sighing.
" I thought that you said Dumbledore didn't tell her?" Ron asked.
"He didn't, I think I know who gave her the hint though." Sierra said now glaring at Franz who walked into the great hall smirking.
"I need to write to Sirius, even though my mail would probably be checked. My record needs to be clean this year, no adventures nothing unless something has been done. Which I highly doubt that it will be." Sierra said.
"Sierra you have us as well, if anything happens we'll be there one hundred percent by your side defending you." Harry said and Ron and Hermione agreed.
"Thanks," Sierra said getting up and told them, "I'll see you in class I'm going to write Sirius now."
