AN: Thank you for favoriting and following this story, it means a lot to me.

Ikuni Hattori, responding to your review, I kinda thought that Hermione would be similar to Matilda in a way, being home when her parents were at work and figuring out how to do things by herself.

Also, I know that Hermione is kinda OCC in her childhood, it's because she is skeptical about Sirius and doesn't know how to process, bringing a alleged murder into her home.


Hermione looked up and stared at the man.

"When you say alleged?"she said slowly and he nodded.

"I was wrongly put into prison for something I didn't do"he said and Hermione narrowed her eyes at him.

"How do I know if you're lying?"she asked and Sirius looked around and grabbed a knife from the draw and he pressed the blade to his palm.

"1 if I really was a murderer, I probably would have killed you by now"he said and she nodded.

"But to prove I'm not, I will cut off my hand"he said and she went wide eyed.

"No! Don't I believe you"she said and he blinked and handed her the knife and she put it next to her.

"So you were framed?"she asked and he nodded.

"2 of my friends from school had to go into hiding because a bad person was after them and the one person who knew where they were told the bad person where they were and they died but everyone thought I was the person that told and I was put into prison"he said and she nodded.

"How can you turn into a dog Mr Black?"she asked and he smiled.

"Please just call me Sirius"he said and she nodded.

"Alright Sirius, I'm Hermione"she said and he nodded.

"I can turn into a dog because I'm a wizard"he said and she tilted her head.

"A wizard like, you wear a top hat and wear a cape?"she asked and he shook his head.

"No, I perform magic but I am not a magician, let me explain this to you..."

The pair talked about magic and Hermione being a wizard.

"So when I'm 11, I will get to go to Hogwarts?"she asked and he shook his head.

"You said your birthday was the 19th of September? So when your 11, the school year would have already started, so you would have to start the year after, when you are about to turn 12"he said and she nodded.

"This is really cool"Hermione said as the front door opened.

"Hermione, we are back!"
