Sirius Pov

A couple of hours later we all went off the Hogwarts express. "Are you nervous?" i asked the others. "Nah, not really," James said. "I don't know to be honest," Remus said. "Yes.." Peter squeaked. "What about you?" Remus asked. "Yeah.. What if i am put in Slytherin.. Or what if i'm not.." i said. "Either way i'm not going to be happy.. If i'm put in Slytherin. I- I don't know. And if i'm put in Gryffindor, my mother.. She would go mad," i laughed a little. James patted me on the shoulder. "Well, let's go," Remus said.

When we entered the great hall i looked around the hall. I saw my cousins sit at the Slytherin table. Bellatrix, Narcissa and my favorite Andromeda.

We all started walking up to the front of the hall. I got eye contact with Bellatrix. I ignored her gaze as me and the other guys talked. "Take a deep breath Sirius, it's okay!" Remus said and patted my shoulder. "I don't know Remus," i said. "It'll be okay Sirius!" James said. I forced a small smile on my lips as Professor McGonagall, the teacher that had led us to the great hall, started talking. "Come here first years! Come here first years!" she yelled.

When we all came up to the teacher table she took a step up and told us to stay down. "I'm going to shout out your name and you are gonna step up and sit down on the stool and you're gonna get sorted. Okay?" she said looking out over all the first years. Including me.

"Balker, Henry!" she yelled out. A blonde boy stepped up and sat down on the chair. She took out an old hat and put it on his head. After a while the hat shouted "Slytherin!"

The whole Slytherin table, including my cousins, started applauding and Henry walked down and sat down at the Slytherin table.

"Black, Sirius!" she yelled. I froze. "Sirius c'mon!" James said and pushed me lightly. I slowly walked up to the chair and sat down. She put the hat on my head. "Hm... Brave.. Pureblood... Kindhearted.. It must be... GRYFFINDOR!" it yelled. I froze. Gryffindor.. I looked at my cousins. They all looked disgusted. Fuck.. What would mother and father say.. My mother say.. I'm gonna die.. I looked down at the others. They smiled. That made me feel a little better.

I walked down to the applauding Gryffindor table. I sat down. "Hey!" someone said to me. "Hey!" i said back.

"Dagholt, Fabien!" she yelled. He walked up to the chair. "Hufflepuff!"

"Evans, Lily!" professor McGonagall yelled. A ginger girl walked up to the chair. "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat yelled. She looked down at someone of the first years that wasn't sorted yet. She walked down and sat down beside me. "Hi! I'm Lily Evans!" she said. "Sirius Black!" i said and shook her hand.

"Horne, Ophelia!" professor McGonagall shouted.

"Ravenclaw!" the hat shouted.

"Lupin, Remus!" she yelled. I looked at Remus, he looked a little nervous. I saw James pat his shoulder and he walked up to the chair. He sat down and she put the hat on his head. "GRYFFINDOR!" it yelled.

My face lit up in a smile. Remus looked down at me, he also smiled. He almost ran down and sat down opposite to me. "You made it!" i smiled. "Yeah, just James and Peter also comes here!" he said but got interrupted by professor McGonagall.

"Fox, William!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"McKinnon, Marlene!" she shouted. "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted. The blonde girl Marlene walked down to us and sat down beside Lily. "Hi! I'm Lily Evans!" Lily said. "Marlene McKinnon!" she shook her hand.

"Pettigrew, Peter!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Me and Remus looked at each other and smiled. Peter sat down. "Ayee! Now it's just James!" Remus said. "Potter, James!"

James walked up to the hat. "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat yelled. "YES!" me, Peter and Remus yelled. Everyone in the hall turned to us. James started laughing and walked down to us. We all laughed and everyone was still looking at us but we ignored it. I could feel my cousin's evil gazes from behind. I tried to ignore it. But it was hard.

Professor McGonagall cleared her throat and shouted, "Shacklebolt, Kingsley!"

A tall boy walked up to the chair, "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat yelled. He walked down and sat down beside us.

"Snape, Severus!". A boy with black long hair walked up to the hat. "SLYTHERIN!" the hat yelled. Lily looked a little.. Sad...

He must've been the one who she looked down at when she was sorted. I was a little sad for her.

The guy, Snape, walked down and sat down next to my cousin Bellatrix.

"Tribbiani, Aera!" "SLYTHERIN!"

"Tycho, Everly!" "RAVENCLAW!"
