Sirius Black's Daughter.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I'm so excited! I'm going on the train to Hogwarts! Mental squeal! "Ali, I'm taking the Hogwarts Express with you, okay?" Uncle Remus told me. I sigh and roll my eyes. I hope we won't have to be in the same compartment.

"'Kay. So when do we have to be at Kings Cross?" I ask. Wow, uncle Remus looks terrible. He looks like he hasn't slept in weeks. Or eaten a proper meal in as much time, too. Wow. I need to feed him better... Or what he really needs is a girlfriend. Hmmm... Mabey he likes blondes? No... I think brunettes are more his type. Wait... I know! Someone with like blue hair! Wait, Alice! Wandering thoughts. "Wow uncle Remus, you look terrible. What happened?" I asked. "Are you having trouble with the ladies again?" I ask, shaking my head knowingly.

"No! I'm not having trouble with the 'ladies' I just haven't slept very well. Shoot! Were going to be late for the train!" he exclaims and grabbed me and my trunk full of miscellanious magical items and my kitten, which I have decided to name Puff. He drags us to the fireplace and grabs the floo powder. "Kings Cross train station, platform nine and three-quarters." he said and threw the green powder down. There was a pulling sensation and we soon arrived at the platform. "Ugh. I hate traveling by floo powder!" I grumble, holding my head to try and stop it from spinning.

"Do you want to be late for the sorting? I think not!" Uncle Remus rolls his eyes. I stick my tongue out at him.

We board the train and there are people on all of the compartments except one In the back. So much for finding my own compartment. Uncle Remus sits close to the window and leans against it, falling asleep.

I'm sitting on the scarlet train with Puff in my lap, watching him sleep. Stalkerish, right. I watch you when you sleep, too. I'm watching you. Right now. Just kidding! That would be epic though. Epic stalker-ninja mode. Wow I feel bad for someone if they can hear my thoughts.

I'm so obsorbed in my deranged mind that when someone says "excuse me? Can we sit here? I'm afraid all other compartments are full." it scares the cheese out of me. I look over to see Harry, that I met in Diagon Alley, standing there with a lanky red-headed boy with a ton of freckles all over his face and a girl with bushy brown hair with him. "Oh, Hello Alice." he says when he realizes it's me.

"Hey Harry. Sure you can sit here. Uncle Remus is asleep though." the three third years sit on the seats and I see a Ginger bundle of cat-ness in the girls arms.

"Oh, hi! I'm Hermione Granger. And this is Ron. Ron Weasley." the girl said politely.

"Hello, I'm Alice Black." I smile. Ron and Hermione gasp.

"Your not related to-to Sirius Black, are you?" Ron stuttered, looking absolutely petrified. What's his deal, dads locked in Azkaban.

"Uh, yeah. He's my father." I say skeptically. More gasps. By all three of them this time.

"Alice! nobodys going to trust you after what happened!" Hermione exclaimed. What?

"What happened? If your talking about him killing all of those people, that had nothing to do with me." I say. Why wouldn't anybody trust me?

"Noy that! Sirius, he's escaped from Azkaban!" Harry exclaimed. I feel my blood run cold. I feel cold sweats emerge on my forehead and a tingling running down my spine.

"He can't have escaped! It's Azkaban! Surrounded by those cruel dementors!" I exclaim. I have a feeling this is a bad year for me going to Hogwarts.

"Shh! He's sleeping!" Harry whisper-shouts gesturing to Uncle Remus.

"Who do you reckon that is?" Ron asked.

"Professor R.J. Lupin." Hermione stated at once.

"How'd you know that I asked astonished, stairing at the girl with shock. How'd she know uncle Remus?
