Samantha Scamander has been best friends with Harry Potter ever since they were super young, together they found out their magical life waiting for them at Hogwarts. Together with their two new best friends Ron and Hermione, they will go on a life-c...
The rain was still falling fast and smattering against the ground and the carriage when they made their trip from the train to the grounds at Hogwarts. Students hurried inside to avoid the rain and soon enough the great hall was filled and the sorting ceremony came and went, the frog choir was up front singing as thunder was heard outside and lighting giving more light by the windows almost giving an early feeling to it all. Sam had taken place between Hermione and Neville while Ron and Harry were sitting on the other side, Dumbledore had now taken place up front looking over the students.

"Welcome, welcome to another year at Hogwarts. Now I would like to say a few words before we all become too befuddled with our excellent feast. First I'm pleased to welcome Professor R.J Lupin who's kind to fill in the post of defense against the dark arts teacher, good luck professor"
"Of course, that's why he gave you the chocolates, he knew it would help" Hermione figured out and leaned forward so both Harry and Sam could hear. "Potter, Potter!" a voice whispered and the group realized it was Draco Malfoy. What could that ferret possibly what now?
"Is it true you fainted? I mean you actually fainted" Draco grinned as his friends laughed and one pretended to faint, Sam glared over at the Slytherin table while Ron grabbed Harry's robe to turn him away from Malfoy. "Shove off Malfoy"

"How did he find out?"
"Ignore the git Harry" Sam said as she glared between Ron and Harry over at Draco and his friends before turning her attention back to Dumbledore.
"The care of magical creatures teacher for many years has decided to retire in order to spend some time with his remaining limbs. Fortunately, I'm delighted to announce that his place will be taken by no other than our very own Rubeus Hagrid"
The was loud applause throughout the hall, most of them coming from the Gryffindor table. Seamus was even standing up whistling and applauding loudly before Fred shoved him back down.
"Finally on a more serious note, at the request of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts will be playing host to the Dementors of Azkaban until a certain time Sirius Black is captured." now many whispers were heard throughout the Great hall at the mention of Sirius Black.
"The Dementors will be stationed in every entrance to the ground, while I've been assured their presence will not disturb our day-to-day activities. A word of caution, Dementors are vicious creatures. They will not distinguish between those they hunt and those who get in their way, therefor I must warn each and every one of you not to give them a reason to harm you, it's not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving. But you know happiness! can be found even in the darkest of times... if one only remembers to turn on the light"

Once the feist was over Sam and Hermione had gotten to their dorm room and into their nightclothes, Sam's was a pair of long pajama pants there were light blue while her t-shirt was a Star war themed one. Her brown hair was in two braids that Hermione had helped her with. They also shared the dorm with Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, and another girl in their year named Mary O'Connell.
Sam sat down on Hermione's bed and looked at the other girls ' beds to make sure they were asleep or not paying attention before she looked at Hermione. "I need to tell you something" she whispered and began to talk about that strange night and the weird conversation she had heard her mother had with an unknown man. Hermione as always listened and took in everything she heard before answering.
"I mean when I think about it.. it did sound like they were talking about Sirius Black but I could just be imagining things?" Sam sighed as she looked at Hermione. "I can see why you would think that but... we can't possibly know without your mother not saying anything," Hermione said and Sam nodded her head agreeing, she smiled softly and stood up.
"You're right, I'm gonna drop it for now, and let's go to bed. Good night Hermione"
"Good night Sam" Sam could hear the breathing in the bed next to her change and she knew Hermione had fallen asleep, it took Sam a little longer but she could feel her eyelids grow heavy. The last thought was what had happened on the train earlier that day and the screaming she had heard.
