Being Sirius' Sister

My Sorting

"Reg! Let me go! I want to sit with Siri." I wine loudly pouting up to my slightly (only half an hour) older brother. My head whips all around taking in what the inside of the train looks like I can't help but bounce with building excitement.

"Scarlett Melania Black. You heard Mum I am supposed to look after you. I know she would not want you around those blood traitors and mudbloods." Letting my eyes glisten and looking downwards. Three. Two. "Okay! Fine go be with Sirius but don't tell Mum."

My eye light up and I jump to hug Regulus. I run off and wave back to my baffled brother. "Thanks Reg!" I almost immediately run into someone since I'm facing the wrong way. "Ouch." Scrambling to get up I turn towards whoever it is I hit. "I am so sorry! I should've been watching where I was going." A blush floods my face as I explain the situation.

"No, no it is also my fault. I was reading my book while walking." I nod trying to think of a way to leave without seeming rude. "I better be getting back to my friends. See you around..." He trails off and I realize I should introduce myself.

"Oops! Let me introduce myself. My name is Scarlett Black." I smile widely holding out my hand.

He shakes my hand a light seems to pop in his head. "Are you looking for Sirius? Sorry, my name is Remus Lupin. Sirius is always talking about you."

"Remus! I can't believe I didn't recognize you! Sirius tells me all about you guys." I cross my arms and give a pout. "I was wondering if I could sit with you guys." My feet shuffle slightly and wring my hands.

"Come on, just a bit away." I rush to keep up with Remus. I run into him again when he stops walking.

I scratch the back of my neck awkwardly looking up at Remus from the ground. "Sorry again." I give a small laugh and jump back up. I look through the window and notice Sirius is facing away. Rubbing my hands together I open the door as quickly and silently as I could. I jump onto his back and hug Sirius as hard as I can.

"Sirius, there seems to be a crazy small girl attached to your back." I poke my head up over Sirius's shoulder.

"Hi there! My name is Scarlett Black!" I grin and wave happily with one hand. "Can I sit with you guys?"

I feel impatient as soon as we got off the train. The first name and I already am shaking with blood pumping faster. How long will this take?! At last my brother's name is called so a least I know I know mine is next. The hat is on for barley half a minute when the hat shouts out. "Slytherin!" Of course he's in Slytherin. I love my brother but I can't stand how he is so much like our parents.

"Scarlett Black!" The Gryffindor table draws my eyes to see Sirius looking at me with a hopeful expression. Turning to sit down I see Regulus looking at me with the same expression. Sitting on the stool and close my eyes not wanting to see either of my brothers looking at me knowing one will be upset.

My mind seems blank not hearing anything until the hat shouts again. "Gryffindor!" Getting off the stool quickly, I hurry over to Sirius and he hugs me so hard it's like he's a snake instead of a lion.

"I don't think Mum will be too happy when she hears. But at least I got my big brother."
