in which Sirius discovers he has a sister, who falls in love with an idiot
"If I'm the sun, what does that make you, you're certainly not the moon." He laughed
"Maybe I'm the gravity that holds everything down?" She smiled that self-deprecating...

i hope they have rolls
The group of teens that came with the Order to the platform were separated, the train was very full and there were practically no seats this year. Ryder dragged Eri away from the full cabin that Harry and his friends began to inhabit to find another one. The short girl's face was bright as she smiled, looking around the train with wonder.
Ryder frowned as he couldn't find a spot for him and Eri to sit in, but internally groaned when he heard her distinct gasp of excitement.
"This spot has open seats, they look nice" She pointed at an open spot, sitting there was Flynn Daniels and Alexander Nott. Flynn, the third Gryffindor Chaser, and Alexander, Slytherin Seeker. Ryder only knew them because Flynn had knocked him off of his broom and broke his arm during a match and Alexander had come to apologize to him in the hospital wing after.
"Maybe not Eri-" He turned away from the smaller teen for a split second and she was off. "I was supposed to be watching you Eridanus!" He groaned before following her into the spot in front of them. He smiled awkwardly while Eri smiled brightly her face bright with the idea of friends.
"Hello I'm Eridanus, this is Ryder, may we sit here?" Alexander looked at the girl oddly before nodding with his friend, moving over a bit to make room for the new duo.
"Flynn Daniels, Gryffindor. Nice to meet you Eridanus" He stuck his hand out to her and smiled brightly, Alexander and Ryder both had weary looks on their faces as Eri and Flynn began talking to one another.
"Ryder Lupin right? Your dad taught DADA in third year?" Alexander Nott wasn't the type to make nice with just anyone. Never really talking to anyone but the Gryffindor sitting across from him and rarely his twin brother Theodore
"Oh, yeah that's me. Remus isn't really my dad though, he just took me in when I was little." Eri turned to Alexander and smiled at him before sticking her hand out to him.
"Hello I'm Eri, I'm in Ravenclaw, what house are yo-"
"Wow, a Black in Ravenclaw and Father thought Gryffindor was bad" Ryder immediately stood and Eri drew her wand, pointing it at Alexander.
"Woah Woah, okay Alex, explain to them how you know. She looks like she might kill you if you don't" Flynn looked a bit spooked as Ryder stood at his full height and glared at the boys with their hands up.
"Yes, Alex, tell me how you know." Alexander rolled his eyes but seemed a bit shaken too. The Black family was known for all the bad things that have happened to their enemies, those who had crossed them in the past never truly escaped the Black family's wrath.
"The Nott family is descended from the Blacks, almost all pureblood families are. But you would know that, wouldn't you? Eridanus Irma Black I. Mother and Father wondered if the tapestry was wrong you know? But the tapestry is never wrong. You know that too. I'm positive every person in Slytherin will know who you really are by the end of tonight's feast." Eridanus dropped her wand and Ryder sat back down. Her face was pale and a bit sickly.
"But hey, maybe no one will tell your secret!" Flynn, the ever-positive Gryffindor tried to lighten the mood.
Alexander rolled his eyes again, he grabbed Eri's hand as if to comfort her before giving her a sad smile
"Stick with us. If anyone asks, you're just Eri."

"And this is why everyone smothers you! You're too trusting, Star! For all you know Nott and Daniels could be leading you right to Moldysmort" Eri snorted and smiled at him, Flynn and Alexander went to get dressed into their robes for dinner, none of the boys wanted to leave Eridanus on her own due to the possibility of little baby Death Eaters could be trying to snatch her up.
"Moldysmort? Real mature Ry" She rolled her blue eyes before looking at him "Flynn is a muggle-born dummy, and Alexander warned us about people knowing. Besides, what Death Eater would want to hang out with a muggle-born, it's not in their nature" Ryder glared but knew she was right, she was always right. He hated that about her.
Ryder left the room so that Eri could change into her uniform that Dumbledore gave her. She smiled a bit as she tied the tie correctly, remembering when Sirius taught her the lazy way to do it. She had a moment to herself finally, Ryder not being able to come in until she knocked on the door. Eridanus went into her jean pockets and pulled out the old frayed photo of her two big brothers, both smiling and laughing. The camera had captured a rare moment of true happiness. She smiled at her stupid brothers before putting the photo into her book and fixing her appearance a bit. She knocked on the door and all three boys walked into the little room like they owned the place.
"So, do you think they'll have rolls?" The girl broke the tension, making Ryder laugh and they both had to explain why rolls were so funny to the two boys in front go them.

"Welcome to Hogwarts Hideaway Girl"
"I'm going to regret this friendship"
"Oh come on Xander, this'll be fun!"
"Star what are you staring at?"
-
She called them her idiots and she was their hideaway girl. A group of teens that could rival the Marauders. One of each, Flynn Daniels, a Gryffindor, Ryder Lupin, a Hufflepuff, Alexander Nott, a Slytherin, and Eridanus Black, a Ravenclaw.
-
Many eyes were on Eri as nobody recognized her when she walked in. She walked to the Ravenclaw table, choosing to sit farthest away from the other students, she found herself seated next to one Luna Lovegood, who offered her a Quibler before turning back to her upside down one.
"I'm Eri" She smiled at the other Ravenclaw, who seemed a bit shocked at the immediate kindness but quickly recovered
"Luna, but everyone likes to call me Loony." Eri made a face of dislike before smiling even wider at Luna
"I won't call you Loony, just Luna."
"Your aura's different from everyone else's Eri, does it have anything to do with the inbreeding of the Black family?" Luna gasped, not noticing Eridanus' shocked reaction, hiding who she really was was harder than she thought "Wrackspurts! Your head is filled with them! That must be it" Luna finally noticed Eri's nervous face before reaching over and squeezing the other girls hand in comfort "Don't worry, I saw you coming, not many others know about you, Eridanus Black." Eri sighed and nodded, squeezing the hand back "I'll keep your secrets."
At the table next to Ravenclaw sat Hufflepuff, Ryder watched the exchange from afar and facepalmed before muttering to himself "Of course she would make friends with the Loony one" before banging his head onto the table before him, catching the attention of his fellow housemate Hanna Abbot.
