Chapter 5
(A/N: This one is really short, sorry.)
We keep glaring at each other and then Sirius closes his eyes for a moment. When he opens them, he sighs and walks past me.
'I'll show you your room.' I follow him upstairs and he opens the first room. The room is slightly bigger then mine and the walls are darkgreen and black.
I smile: I love green and black. In the middle of the room, against the wall, there's a bed and at the right side there's a closet.
'Good enough? I have more rooms..'
'No, this one is perfect.' I say.
He nods, unsure what to do, and turns around.
'I'll be downstairs if you need anything.' He says with a tired voice and walks away.
'What have I gotten myself into?' I hear him mumble. That man really needs to learn not to mumble.
I shut the door and point my wand towards it. Silencio. A little spark shoots out of my wand. I can cast a view spells without saying them. I can also do very simple spells wandless. That's so awesome. But I need to get better, this is only childwork.
Piper slithers out of my hands and jumps on the bed.
'You like it, sweety?' I ask her with a knowing smirk.
'Yes, very. The colours are just fine and the bed is soft enough.' She answers.
I laugh because we are so the same.
'But we need more decoration. Like my drawings on the walls and glittery silver swirls on the wall above this bed.'
I'm really glad I took my paint with me so I can paint those swirls myself. I put my little bag on the bed and begin to unpack everything. After a little fifteen minutes my room is ready for me: the clothes are in the closet, the drawings on the walls and my books and drawing stuff sorted in a corner. And I put my keyboard in the other corner. I love to play on it and to sing. Now it's time to make a real Slytherin room. I grab my silver paint and begin to paint above my bed. After twenty minutes it's done. Looks great!
'What'cha think?'
'It really looks nice, Pruee.' She says with admire in her voice. I give her a big smile and pet her. I really love her. Her, Draco and my parents. Speaking about Draco: I really miss him. I haven't seen him for almost four months. Dumbledore doesn't really let students go in and out. We always meet up when he has holiday. But I'm going to Hogwarts and I'm going to see him everyday! Ofcourse I'm gonna be put in Slytherin. I mean, almost my whole family are Slytherins. And I'm very good material for Slytherin, right? I may not be cunning, but I'm resourcefulness. I'll kill myself if I'm gonna be sorted in Hufflepuff. I can't be a Ravenclaw, could I? I don't think I'm THAT smart. And Gryffindor... It's not bad, but it ain't good either. Am I brave? Mmmh, yeah? But I AM a dare devil. No. I can't be in Gryffindor. I have to be put in Slytherin, for my parents. I HAVE to make them proud. I kiss Piper and walk out of the door. I have known her for about six years. When I was just nine years old I sneaked out of the house and went to the forest. I was just playing there and suddenly I heard an 'Hello, there.'. I was shocked at first, but quickly after that we became the best friends. I did some research and found out I was a Parseltongue. That was one of my best days. The other ones are when I met Draco and when I got the first signals of being a witch.

Dinner with Sirius was very, very awkward. We didn't talk, we just glared at eachother or we totally ignored eachother. If I could be myself I would chat with him or at least make jokes about the awkwardness. This is tough, don't know how Hogwarts is gonna be...
After dinner I quickly went to my new room, the place where I can be myself.
I took a bath, brushed my teeth and went back to my room. I tiredly rub my head. I'm really glad with that big window in my room. Piper is sleeping so I can't talk with her. I walk towards the window in my pyjama and put my hands on it. It's so dark outside, so beautiful. The only light is the moon. I've always loved the night. I might be scary sometimes, but also mysteriously beautiful. The darkness is peaceful. I breath my warm breath on the glass and draw a heart on it. It fades away in less than ten seconds. Just like true love. It's temporary and then it just disapears. I shake my head and go to bed. I fall asleep, thinking of Draco.
