Izzy grabbed Remus's hand as they got onto the Hogwarts express for the first time in their lives. She kept a strong hold on her brother not wanting to be separated. They edged their way through the train dodging the older students who bustled past without paying them a glance until they found an empty compartment. When they got inside she let Remus have the window seat, she was more interested in watching all of the people who passed them in the hallway of the train anyways. A girl with red hair was being pulled through the train by a boy that had such pale skin that it reminded her of a vampire and she gave Izzy a small smile as they passed her window. There was suddenly a large commotion outside as the red head was pushed to the side of the hallway and a young boy with unruly hair ran into their compartment breathless towing a smaller boy with blonde hair behind him and behind him a boy with the longest hair that Izzy had ever seen on a boy.

"Hi, I'm James. Can we sit here?" He said breathing heavily

"Sure" Izzy nodded as they all collapsed on the bench opposite to Remus and Izzy "I'm Izzy and this is my brother Remus"

Remus peaked a look at them from behind his book before quickly hiding again. Izzy sighed, she knew this part of him all too well. He was scared so much of them finding out about his secret that he would go so far as to never talk to anyone. She decided to take initiative and pulled the book out of his grasp.

The others in the compartment watched this exchange before the boy with long hair spoke "I'm Sirius"

"Brightest star in the sky" Izzy noted and everyone looked at her in surprise "Don't you all read?"

"Your going to be in Ravenclaw for sure" James said

"I'm staying with my brother no matter what house he's in I will be there with him" Izzy said surely. She had made up her mind about this as soon as they had gotten their letters from Hogwarts, nothing especially not stupid houses would keep them apart. She would do anything to stay with him.

"Now you sound like a Hufflepuff" Sirius laughed

Izzy smiled for a second before to everyone's surprise Remus spoke "What house do you all want to be in?"

But his question was but off as two older girls with sharp angular features strode in. One had what appeared to bleached blond hair and the other curly black that had no order and hung around her face in a mess. Both had robes that were covered with pink splatters. The one with the black hair appeared to waste no time and pressed her wand against Sirius's chin "You little-"

She was interrupted by the other who pulled her back and muttered something into her ear. The blonde turned back to Sirius crossed her arms and spoke in an almost condescending tone "We know it was you who did this. Fortunately there's no way to prove it so it won't be reported to your father"

"How lovely that father requested you keep tabs on me, and here I was thinking he had given up" Sirius said in a far more cheerful tone then Izzy would have spoken in.

It was at this time that the one with the Black hair spoke her voice vicious and cutting like a knife underlaid with something that almost sounded like joy "You better hope everything goes well at the sorting dearest cousin. Otherwise your mother will be having a talking with you when you return for the holidays." The world 'talking' was laced with a meaning Izzy couldn't understand, but Sirius appeared to as his faced turned deathly pale and he flinched slightly "Toujours Pur Sirius" she purred and with that they strode out of the compartment.

"Bye Bella! Bye Cissy!" Sirius called after them, color retuning to his face at an opportunity to jab at them again.

"Toujours Pur? Your a Black?!" James turned to Sirius looking incredibly startled.
