Lady Black (Sirius Black's Daughter)

The train ride and the sorting

Jane POV
While I was walking on the platform, I noticed a lot of people looking at me. Some looked in wonder, some with respect, some with fear and some with pity seeing I was alone. I just kept on walking with my head held high like grandma told me to. I got on the train and searched for an empty compartment. I sat down and started reading. When the train started to move a pair of twins popped up.
"Can we..." twin nr. one started.
"... sit here? Everywhere else...",the second one filled in.
"...is full.", the first one finished.
I felt like watching a tennis match but I snapped out of it seeing that they were expecting an answer.
"Of course you can. Come in." My grandma has always taught me to be polite... to purebloods that is but I don't believe in al the pureblood, halfblood, muggleborn rivalry so I'm just polite to everyone if they dont get on my nerves.
The twins and I started talking and became great friends. They told me they liked pranking and quidditch and that they have a big family. They have three older brothers, a younger brother and a younger sister. I told them that I also loved quidditch and that pranking sounds like fun, that I love to read and that I live on my own. They wanted to ask me about that when a black boy woth dreadlocks entered.
"Hi can I sit here?"
" yeah sure I'm Jane Black nice to meet you."
"Thanks nice to meet you too I'm Lee Jordan"
"I'm Fred and ..."
"...I'm George Weasley. "
We talked the entire train ride and I learned they all wanted to be in gryffindor. I also wanted to be in gryffindor but my entire family except for my parents were slytherin. What if I'm placed in slytherin? Would they still hang out with me? Merlin I hope I won't lose my new friends right after I just got them.

When we got of the train, I heard a man shouting:" firs' years over 'ere! Any more firs' years?"
We followed the giant man who I recognised to be Hagrid. He led us to some boats and we made our way to the school. It looked beautiful; it was a castle as in a fairy tale but bigger. At the entrance a stern woman greeted us and told us about the four different houses and their values. She then led us in the great hall and started calling names in alfabetical order. Soon I heard my name.
"Black, Jane"
I walked up to the chair with the sorting hat on it and tried to stay calm. This was probably one of the most important moments of my life, okay perhaps that's a bit overdramatic but still. When the hat was placed on my head it started whispering in my mind.
"Mmm interesting, you are kind and loyal like Hufflepuff but also very smart... you could fit in Ravenclaw just as well but your blood calls out to Slytherin ... mmm you're also very brave just like the Gryffindors... you could fit everywhere but where do I put you? ..." this continued for ages or so it felt. After a while the hat stopped its whispering and talked out loud.
"We seem to have a problem here. This girl is perfect for all houses. She can not be sorted in just one."
Everyone was silent. Then Dumbledore spoke up.
"So be it then. Jane Black, you are free to join any table during meals and spend free time in any common room. You will recieve your own room with small common room on the sixth floor where you can sleep and so on." He looked a bit amused when he said all of this and there was a twinkle in his eyes. I stood up and went to the Gryffindor table where I knew the twins and Lee would join me.
