It's a hard knock life (Sirius' sister)

Chapter 5

When we got to Hogsmeade station we all grabbed our trunks and walked through the bunch of student craning their way through the doors. Wd dropped off our luggage at the drop off area and walked up to the carriages.

According to Pandora Lestrange, they were pulled by thestrals. Pandora was a Ravenclaw who was also practically disowned by her family like me and Sirius. She was in my year and always so generous and kind of eccentric. She and Xenophilius Lovegood were very good friends of mine and everyone knew they had a thing for each other.

I always wondered why Pandora could see thestrals, but I always found it too rude to ask. She continuously says how elegant and mystical they are. I am quite jealous of her in that way. I wish I could see them.

We pulled up to the school and walked through the huge, double doors. Fabian and Gideon went off on their own to 'go to the toilet', but me and Delia both knew they were just planting their next prank.

Me and Delia said goodbye and went to our own tables where I met up with some of my friends. Amos Diggory and Fiona Turner were both Hufflepuffs and even though Amos could be quite arrogant and annoying we were a good group. We talked and caught up as we waited for the first years to come through the doors.

Soon the doors opened. I scanned the line for Regulus and found him near the front with a small group of different boys. I recognised some of them from the sons of the pureblood balls we had to participate in. Regulus looked mesmerised with absolutely everything. The seemingly non existent ceiling, the floating candles and all of the student watching the group of first years.

They reached the front and McGonagall placed the three-legged stool down at the front, then placed the dirty, brown, gaging hat on top of it. Come to think of it he never actually gave me his name when I was sorted, how rude! Well then I'll just call him John. Probably not his name, but he'll have to deal with it, it was his impoliteness that caused this anyway.

One or two names were called before Regulus, but I didn't pay that much attention to them. I was nervous for him.

What if he didn't get into Slytherin like our parents wanted? What if he was punished? What if his punishment was worse than mine?

I wouldn't be able to comfort him at all because even after everything he still looked up to them. Even if it was out of fear and not respect, it would still crush him.

I heard his name being called and my head snapped up. I prayed to every god that came to mind that he would get Slytherin. I crossed my finger for luck as well. It was a muggle thing, I don't  believe it works, but I needed as much luck as I could for him.

He sat down and I waited.

1 minute turned to 2 and 2 into 3. It wasn't until the 5th minute that the hat shouted one amazing, wonderful word.

"SLYTHERIN"
