"Good morning .", Peter said sitting next to Sirius and James . "Today is quidditch try outs , I think you should try Scarlett .", Mary said.

"I don't think it will wor-.", I said . "Scarlett it will work , trust me .", James said and Marlene nodded of approval .

Trust me . A word no one told me before . A word may seem really simple but it means so many things .

"I'll try .", I replied taking a sip from my mug . "Quidditch is not for you .", Sirius said . Marlene glared at him.
"What if it is , black?", I asked with an angry tone . "We will see about that.", he said glaring at me .

"Defense against the dark arts , let's go.", Remus said and we all stood up heading to class . As we entered the professor started telling us where to sit .

"Severus Snape and Scarlett Hart."
Shit.

I started heading towards my seat next to Severus .

"James Potter and Lily Evans."
"Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon."
"Peter pettigrew and Mary Macdonald."
"Remus Lupin and Dorcas Meadows."

"This class we will learn about Boggarts .", the professor started.
"When I open this closet , the thing you fear the most will appear in front of you.", he added. "So you say Riddikulus and imagine it as funny as possible .", he said.

"When I call your name come here.", he added.

"Dorcas Meadows .", the professor called . Dorcas stood in front of the closet wand in hand . When the professor opened the closet a wolf came out of it . It walked towards Dorcas .

"Riddikulus.", she said and the wolf had heels and lipstick on . "Good job .", the professor said. Remus face turned pale . His reaction to Dorcas's boggart was sadness but why?

The professor kept calling names until the last name . Mine.

"Scarlett Hart.", he called and I stood up . I stared at the closet and when the professor opened it the boggart started transforming.

A mirror stood in front of me . I saw myself in it . Nothing more nothing less . "Riddikulus.", I said . Nothing happened. I saw myself in the mirror .
I'm scared of myself . Of being my real self .

"Riddikulus .", I said again nothing happened. I started shaking and sweating . "Riddikulus.", I screamed.
The mirror transformed to a kite and flew inside the closet .

"Class dismissed.", the professor said .
I took my bag as quickly as possible and stormed out of class heading to my dorm.

"Marlene check on her .", Remus said .
"I will .", Marlene said and left after Scarlett .

Sirius Hates Scarlett but he was worried about her . Even though he hated her with his whole heart but this time he was worried and it irritated him that he was worried about her .

As I entered my dorm , I sat on the bed and started calming myself down . Being scared to express your real self is the worst feeling ever . It's like staying under a mask your whole life .

Marlene entered and sat next to me .
"Do you want to talk about it?", she asked. "I'm okay.", I said and she nodded.

"I will get ready for try outs then.", I said. " I will be watching you .", Marlene said and I smiled at her .

I wore the quidditch uniform and put my hair in a high ponytail and took my broom in hand . I walked to the field .

"Look Scarlett , you will be trying for the role of a chaser .", James said.
"I'm a seeker , Sirius and Ian Herald are chasers , Charlotte Chang and Robert pilking are beaters and the keeper is Adrian Weasley .", James explained . "I know you read about quidditch before so you know how to play .", he said and I nodded.

"Now let's start .", he said and I got on my broom and flew upwards . James let the bludgers free and the snitch disappeared in a blink . He threw the quaffle and Ian took it .

He started flying with it and passed it to me and I scored . Adrian tried to block it but I scored . Marlene started cheering for me and I gave her a smile .

Sirius was frowning at me .

"You got the role Scarlett , Congrats .", James said . "Thank you.", I said and headed out of the field .

"Did you get it?", Marlene asked waiting for me in our dorm. I nodded with a smile and she cheered and pulled me into a hug . "That's my best friend.", she said .

I smiled at the name . Best friend . No one ever called me that . I trust Marlene .

"Let's head for dinner .", she said pulling away and I nodded. I took a shower and dried my hair . I wore sweat pants and a sweater . Marlene and I headed to the great hall .

I sat next to Remus and Marlene .
James , Sirius and Peter arrived and sat across from us . "Congratulations Scarlett.", Peter said and I smiled at him .

"He is telling you congratulations and you fucking smile , use your fucking words for gods sake .", he said and stormed off the great hall .

I knew he hated me and I hate him but I didn't know I provoke him that much.
"Sorry Scarlett he is having a hard day , I'll check on him .", James said and left after him.

"Scarlett , he didn't mean it-.", Marlene said. "It's okay.", I said cutting her off and I walked back to my dorm . I entered the dorm and locked the door .

I fell to the floor hugging my knees . I started crying . I never meant anything. I didn't mean to hurt anyone . I just ...I don't know how to react to all the things happening. I never had friends . I never talked to people or socialized .
I was the lonely one always . The girl that just invests her life in books .

My mother tried blocking all the friends I made knowing that they are not right for me . They don't like me . They just befriend me for my money . That's all she says when I try and argue about it with her .

But one thing I truly know right now is that I hate him. I hate Sirius Black.
