Black Tears {Sirius Black's Daughter}

Chapter One

        "Stephanie!? Stephanie!?" I hear Mione's voice yell franticly. But, I can't find her. We got onto the platform just fine, but with so many people we were seperated from each other.

        "Hermione?" I yell into the crowd towards the direction of her voice. But, I'm about to give up. But then I see her bushy brown head of hair and I make a quick dash towards her, dodging through the crowd.

        When I reach her she smiles, "Stephanie." She gives me a hug, temporarily setting down her trunk and I'm forced to set mine down as well. We grab hands and pull our trunks behind us with our free hands and we walk to the train.

        "Let's go find a Cabin that's empty." I say to her.

        "Okay, sounds like a plan." Mione replys, nodding her head. We get on the train and start looking for an empty compartment.

        "Here's one." I say opening the door to an empty compartment. We step in and set our trunks in the luggage area. I pull out my wand, just to have it close to me.

        When we sit down we start talking about spells, classes, houses, and Harry Potter. Then, Mione randomly says, "Steph, what's your wand again?"

        "Um it's thirteen and a half inches, mahogony wood, phoenix tail feather core." I say. "Why?"

        "Oh. No reason." she nods. "So, did you read the books?"

        "Only the interesting ones." I say to her.

        "I read all of them." Mione says. That's just like her to read all of the books. She's always been obsessed with reading, and I guess the fact that none of this seems real is even more exiting to her.

        "So, which house do you think you'll be in, and which house do you want to be in?" I ask her quickly changing the subject.

        "Well, I don't know really. Gryffindor and Ravenclaw sound cool though." Hermione replies.

        "Yeah, but Hufflepuff and Slytherin aren't that bad either." I say to her defending the other houses.

        "Yes, but I think that Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are the most noble." she says to me.

        "Hufflepuff and Slytherin are perfectly noble." I argue.

        "Whatever." She rolls her eyes in defeat. I give a satisfied nod and smile.

        Somebody opens the compartment door and we turn to see who it is. It's a round faced boy who looks awfully nervous and distraught. "I'm sorry but have you seen a toad? I've lost mine." he says.

        "No, we haven't seen a toad. But, we'll help you look for him." Hermione says and I nod in agreement. We stand up.

        "I'm Stephanie Black, and this is my cousin, Hermione Granger." I say to him smiling.

        "I-I'm Neville Longbottom." He says nervously.

        "Well Neville, Hermione. How about you two go that way-" I point down the hall in one direction, "and I'll go the other way." I smile again. They both nod and walk down the hall. I turn and go to the first compartment door.

        I open it and look around. There's a boy with dreadlocks and two girls. One girl has light brown hair and sparkling green eyes. The other has black hair and dark brown eyes. There are also two red-headed boys who look identical except for the color of brown their eyes are. One has light brown eyes with a twinkle in them, while the other has beautiful, chocolate brown eyes with specks of gold in them.
