1st year

.

The black family.

A family of respect. A family of wealth. A family of high authority.

Is what is looked like from the outside.

A family of abuse. A family of poor treatment. A family of high standards.

Is what Sirius knew the family to be.

He was reminded of these awful morals often, and today was a day he knew was to be hell.

As he stood in platform 9 and 3/4, his raven black hair slicked back, his parents began to speak to him in a harsh tone.

"Sirius, I expect you to be on your absolute best behavior. You have honor to uphold," his father reminded him, a cold look upon his face.

"Yes, sir."

"And if we hear any word that you were making havoc, you will face the consequences when you return home."

Sirius gulped, "Yes, ma'am."

"I await a letter telling is that you have been placed in Slytherin. Now go get on the train, and do not sit with any mudbloods," Walburga spat.

"Goodbye, mother. Goodbye, father."

He walked into the train and searched for an empty compartment.

He didn't really want to sit with his cousins, as all of them but Cissy and Andy were rude. He didn't know anybody outside of them, so he decided to sit by himself unless someone else chose to join him.

Sitting in a compartment, he felt the train begin to move.

Sirius had been waiting for this day all his life.

To get away from his parents reign of terror for a while. To be able to make friends and learn magic.

He quickly turned his head when he heard the door open. A boy with black hair stood there, a brown hair boy and sandy blonde hair stood behind him.

"Hey there! Can me and my mates sit in here, everywhere else is full."

"Yeah, of course."

Once the 3 sat down, the brown haired boy beside him and the other 2 across him.

"My name's James, James Potter," he reach his hand out.

"Black, Sirius Black," he shook the boy's hand.

"This is Peter and that's Remus."

"Hi!"

"Hello."

"Did you say Black," James questioned.

"Yes."

"I've heard about your family, you don't seem like the rest of your family though."

"Oh, um, thank you," Sirius thanked akwardly.

"So, what house do you think you'll get put in. I'll probably get Gryffindor, my whole family's been it."

"Maybe Ravenclaw for me," Remus answered.

"Probably Hufflepuff for me," Peter replied.

" My parents want me to get Slytherin, but I don't think the would get to upset at Ravenclaw," Sirius said truthfully.

"So we all think different houses? Bummer."

Sirius looked outside, seeing nothing interesting. Just some trees and a black crow sitting on one of the branches.

.

All the 1st years were currently standing outside of the great hall, waiting to be sorted.

" We're ready for you now," said a women Sirius knew to be Professor McGonagall.

They all walked in, holding there breathe and wishing for certain houses.

"When I call your name, you will sit on the stool and I shall place the sorting hat on your head," she said sternly, yet gently.

"Abbott, Lexis."

A girl with brownish hair walked up and took a seat, closing her eyes tightly.

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

The girl hopped off and walked joyfully to the Hufflepuff table, while the majority of students clapped, although some unenthusiastic.

"Black, Sirius."

Sirius took a deep breathe before walking up slowly and carefully taking a seat.

"Ahh, another Black. Known for Slytherins hmm. I see bravery, courage, the need for friendship and love. A bit of ambition, a need to prove himself. Better be.....

GRYFFINDOR!"

Sirius slipped off the stool and walked towards the table decorated in red, biting his lip harshly.

Sirius payed no attention to the rest of the ceremony. Only taking notice that the three boys from the train were also sorted in Gryffindor.

Looking around the great hall, he caught eye contact with Narcissa and Bellatrix, who were looking towards him with sorrow. Well Narcissa was, he couldn't tell was what emotion was on Bellatrix's face.

Groaning and placing his head in his hands, he shut his eyes.

Mother and father will be furious.
