Summer is here, James came back for the holidays and Sirius is going to spend some time with us; bad news Peter is going to spend a week here too. Remus didn't want to bother my parents. I'm pretty sure he is nervous my parents would tell about him being a werewolf and become crazy.

So the first weeks of summer were really nice, James told us about all of the pranks they pulled. I told him I didn't like him picking on Slytherins but he only said "Come on Rina, it is fun, and they are just some death eaters in training."

"But what if I'm a Slytherin, are you and your friends still going to be this mean with all of us."

"Of course not... because you are not going to be a slimy snake."

"But what if?" he didn't answer me, so he is going to continue being a jerk.

Sirius arrived, he was nice with me. I liked that he treated me like a friend and not like his best mate's little sister; it was nice; on the other hand, Peter was the most awkward person I have ever meet so far, he can't even say 'hello', god, I already don't like him; but I'm still going to give him a chance, he literally have my brother's life in his hands, so I'm going to treat him right.

Thank god Peter left after a week, and it was just mom, dad, James, Sirius and I. "Let's go and play some quidditch!" exclaimed James "I'm going to make it this year" James ran outside to the pitch.

"You play?" Sirius asked me

"I do"

"Want to play?"

"Sure" I gave him a small smile.

The three of us played for a while, Sirius wanted to be a beater, and James and I chasers; so while James and I tried to score, Sirius tried to hit us with the bludgers. I had a lot of fun. "Alright guys, game is over!" yelled mom "go and fresh up, the dinner is going to be ready in fifteen minutes."

"That was amazing!" Exclaimed Sirius.

"It sure was" I said "you two are going to make it into the team"

James and Sirius gave me a smirk.

Summer was over pretty fast, I had a great time with James and Sirius. We went to Diagon Alley for our supplies. Mum and Dad bought me an owl, so I can write to them; I named her 'Ella' . It was a beautiful black owl.

It was the afternoon before we were going to go and I was really nervous about the sorting, so I requested to speak to both of my parents, so here I was, in my father's office with both of my parents looking concerned at me.

"You know you can tell us anything, right honey?" asked mum.

"Yeah" I whispered.

"Good" My parents waited for a long time until I managed to ask.

"Do you mind what house I'm sorted into?" I didn't recognise my voice at all, it was so cracking.

"Where is it coming from, darling?" asked dad.

"Well..." I wasn't looking at any of them, I was looking at the floor "I was speaking with James, and he seemed to dislike the Slytherins" I know, I'm a little snitch, but I really don't want to lose my brother, so don't bother me "and, I feel like I'm a Slytherin"

"Oh honey" sighed dad, stud up and gave me a hug "we don't care at all about your house"

"Promise?" I really need to be sure.

"Promise" the two of them told me.

"You seem to forget I'm a Slytherin, baby" said mum with a smile, I returned the smile and gave her a hug.
