"COME ON QUICK YOU'LL BE late for the train!" Mrs Weasley calls as all of us follow behind. Finally, we reach the train and the mother gives all her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Including me.

"Alright, no mischief boys. I better hope you behave!"

We get on the train and try to find empty compartments for ourselves since the rest are full. Harry and his friends find one with a sleeping man inside it and right next to theirs we find an empty compartment for me and the twins. Thank merlin I didn't get beaten up this time.

A few hours after playing the stupidest games we could imagine, the train came to a halt. My immediate instinct was to go to Harry's compartment.

"Stay here you two, I'm going to check on Harry," I say, pulling my wand out.
"You think we're gonna let you go out? It's dark, what if something happens to you?" Fred replies defensively as I slide open the door.

"Don't worry, it's right next door, nothings gonna happen. I think.." I reassure him before I exit the compartment and go next door.

I slowly slide the door open so the trio don't get startled.
"Don't worry it's only me," I chuckle as I see Ron relaxing his shoulders. I sit beside Harry, shivering from the sudden cold. I follow his gaze towards the window as I see a dark shadow approaching the door. The shadow slides the door open and scans the room. I realize the shadow was a starving dementor looking for a criminal. But what would a criminal be doing on the— oh.

The dementor moves its head towards me and Harry and then before I could realize all the happiness was drained out from my mind. Like I'll never be happy again. I hear a voice calling out to me.

"Please! Don't hurt her please, take us instead but just not our children."
"CORA!"

I wake up with a pounding in my head with Harry staring down at me.
"Wh-what happened?" I inquire, confused.

"You and Harry passed out, Harry woke up 10 minutes before you," Hermione answers worryingly.

"Here, eat. You'll feel better." The man in-front of me offers a piece of chocolate. I mean it's chocolate, who would decline the offer? I take it from his hand and eye him suspiciously as I stuff the chocolate in my mouth.

I heard a voice but who was it...a female. But who? Who was it? I put that thought aside and started analyzing the man in front of me.

Middle aged man. Light brown hair. Looks like he's on the verge of death. Last night was full moon. Eats chocolate.

"Remus lupin," I blurted out after I finished swallowing my chocolate. "You were my fathers best-friend," I mumbled, getting my information from my dearest uncle.
He looks at me curiously wondering who I was talking about.

"And who might your father be?" He asks.
"Sirius black," I stammered feeling disgusted, saying the name of a murderer. As soon as I say his name, his eyes widen, like it's flashing memories through it. Soon he relaxes his tensed shoulders and stands up looking away from me, clearing his throat.

"I need to have a word with the bus driver, please excuse me." He grumbles as he slides open the door and disappears.

That was weird, but I can think about it later. Well not really, thinking about it is all I'm probably gonna do for the next few days.
"I'm going to the twins. You sure you'll be okay harry?" I ask looking at him.

"Yeah..I'll be fine.."

We arrived at the great hall and sat on opposite sides, as I waited for Laurie. Today she is awfully late since she normally sits here on the table way before me.
