Another Black

Prologue

ANTARER'S EYES SNAPPED wide open as the door swung sharply open, making a rather irritating bang as it collided with the wall. She groaned in frustration as someone opened the curtains and started to take off the warm blanket. She covered her face with pillow as she turned around to the other side of the bed. The cold side. 

"Morning, sweetheart!" exclaimed a soft yet raspy voice as he started pulling the pillow of her head. "Reggie...just a few more minutes." she mumbled under her breath. And snuggled more into her pillows. "Come on, you have to wake up. You don't want miss the train to the Hogwarts!"

As she heared the word Hogwarts she immediately sit up saying "Hogwarts ??! I'm up!" .She started running to the bathroom almost tripped over her bed. The last thing she heard before she closed the door was little chukle."I'll be waiting for you in the kitchen."

Not even after few minutes she walked to the kitchen, her hair standing on different sides. "Morning Reggie!" she exclaimed as she sit on high stool close to the counter. The man with a grey messy hair, grey eye with a piece of green, black pants and white shirt turn around with a playful smile holding a plate of freshly baked toast. "How did you sleep ?" he asked, sitting down on the chair opposite.

"Good except for the awful awakening." I said bitterly taking a bite of the toast. "Mmm, it's amazing ! New recipe ?" I asked taking another bite of the amazing toast. "Yeah, I was trying something new!" he said sipping of his cup of green tea.

"We should hurry up, the train is leaving in a half an hour." he remarked. "Mhm, could you do my hair while I'm eating ?" I asked him with full mouth. "Of course." he said standing behind me and gently pulling my hair into a ponytail. I thanked him before heading to my room to get my trunk.

As I got down I put my shoes on and walked to Regulus standing by the fireplace. "Ready ?" he aks giving me his hand. I just nodd and not even after few minutes we were standing at King Cross. We started walking towards a wall. "Reg are you sure we have to go through this ?" I wshispered to him. He just laughed and nodded before taking my hand and trunk and started walking through the door. We gradually got closer to the wall...

I opened my eyes. And gasped from the sight of the Hogwarts Express. It was beautiful. The Ruby red with gold Hogwarts Express lettering, loud whistling... Parents bidding weepy goodbyes to their children, teenagers meeting up with friends again, their faces full of joy and happines. Everything as Reg said. But Platform 9 ¾ is a very busy place I must say.

"....and don't forget to wright me a letter, okay ? An ? Antares, are you listening ?" Regulus shook me gently. " Yeah, I'm listening. " I said as I snapped out of my trance. " You should be going. The train is leaving in ten minutes."

"Fine" I said moving toward him.

As soon as I got into range, his arms wrapped around me and pulled me close. I sighed in relief, relaxing into the hug. " I'll miss u." I mumbled into his chest. "Me too, but we will see each other in four months, don't worry. I love you." Regulus said, pulling out of the hug. "I love you too. See you soon. Bye !"

"Goodbey!" Reg called, as I start walking towards the train. "Be good!"

I giggled "I'm always good!".

I boarded the train and started walking through the corridor. At the end of the train I found an empty compartment and got in. I put my suitcase down in the compartment above the seat and sat in the corner with my book.

After few minutes I heard a knock on the door. I looked up from the book and looked at three people standing at the corridor. Girl with a beautiful dark skin, short curly dark brown hair, protuberant chocolate eyes and dark eyebrows. And twins with flaming-red hair and freckles and a stockier figure. The girl opened the door and asked "Can we sit here ? Everything else is full." I replied with a simple nodd and got back to my book.

After a while one of the boys asked "What's your name ?"

I gulped and with a pale face I replied "Uhm, I'm Antares!" "Antares..." the girl looked at me with a lifted eyebrow. I sighed and looked away "Antares Black." The boys looked shocked and the girl had a look of surprise mixed with amazement on her face. "That's cool !" she marveled, "I'm Dorliene Meadow! And I'm ele--" ste introduced herself but was interrupted by the boys. "I'm Fred and-" started the boy who was sitting infront of me "I'm George Weasley!" he finished.

"You are not scared ?" I whispered queitly. "Why would we be ?" the girl – Dorliene – asked. "Well you know. My father..he..he is.." I couldn't say it loud. "What about him ? That he is a murder ? We don't mind. It was him and not you. It's not your fault." she looked at me shocked that I was thinking that.

"Really ?" I asked with a hope of finding new friends. "Yeah!" said the twins in unison to which I just laughed.

"What house do you think you will be in ?" Dorliene asked again and looked at us.

—————————

We walked through The Great Hall in a cell with Professor McGonagall who led the First year. The Great Hall was a large hall with four long tables where the students of each house sat. In front was a table where the entire Hogwarts staff sat. In the center of the table was a throne-like chair where Professor Dumbledore sat. The ceiling of the Great Hall was covered with candles and was enchanted to look like the sky above.

It was all amazing.

We stopped in front of a chair with an old tattered hat when he spoke "Welcome! Welcome to Hogwarts! It's a pleasure to welcome you here!". But he was interrupted by Professor McGonagall  "Now, I will call out your name. You will come to me, sit down and I will place this hat on your head. Then you will be sorted to one of the houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff."

"George Weasle!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Fred Weasle!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Cedric Diggory!

"Hufflepuff!"

"Dorliene Meadows!"

"Slytherin!"

And so on. I was waitting nervously when I heard my name.

"Antares Black!"

Silence. Everything and everyone went silent. No one dared to say a word. I looked up to see a Proffesor McGonagall looking at me and not just her, but the whole Great Hall. I nervously get through the people and sat at the chair.

"Hmmm!" I jumped a little at the voice in my head. "Don't be scared child. Hmm, where to put you, my dear.I see that bravery and patience. Would it be Gryffindor ? No ? Well, as you wish. And I also see a love for books and intelligence here. You would have a great time in Ravenclaw. But I also see stubbornness and ambition here. Well, what about you, where to put you ? Hmm... I already know...Rave--Slytherin !"

For a few minutes everything was quiet until some people start clapping their hands. Then were joined by the whole Slytherin table.

I smiled and walk to sit next to my new friend Dorliene. "We are in the same house!" she exclaimed excitedly. I just smiled at her and looked at the Gryffindor table. I was searching for a thw twins. I found them quickly as they were also looking at me. The smiled and show thumbs up. Then I looked at another pair of brown eyes which were looking at me curiosly. I smiled at the boy and looked at Dor who was ranting about something
