London's Adventures at Hogwarts (Year 1)

Chapter 3~ The morning of...

I wake up to a bright beautiful sunny morning. The smell of pancakes swirls through the house. I got up and pet my new owl Marie. Marie is mostly brown but she has two white circles around her eyes that make it look like she has glasses on. I get up and go downstairs and stop at the bottom to let the broom pass. Once I in the kitchen I catch my mother reading an old clipping from the Daily Prophet on Sirius Black.
"Mum why do you always bother yourself with those clippings? He's in Azkaban and he's never getting out." She puts it down.
"Would you like to know a secret London dear?" I perk up. My mum doesn't keep secrets from me. I thought I knew just about everything about her. I nod and sit next to her. As she looks at me I can feel her hesitation. Then she very slowly says, "I once knew Sirius Black." I look at her confused.
"How is that much of a secret?" She once again pauses and hesitates.
"He...was...my...friend..." I drop my pancakes. I never knew she was friends with him. That was why she kept rereading about him.
I stand there then slowly say "Do you believe what they say about him?" She stares at the clippings and I see a look in her eyes that I can't read.
"I don't know..." She says. "I want to believe he's always been the Sirius I knew but.......I just don't know..." I take the piece parchment from her hands and just stare at it. He looks like a madman... He looks frightening. I put the paper back on the table.
"Mum we need to go before I'm late. It's my first year just imagine a first year missing the Hogwarts Express they wouldn't let me live it down." She nods and get up.
"Go get your trunks love." She says.

"Michelle!" I hear Aunt Molly call to my mum. I go over to the Weasley's with Marie and all my trunks. Errol screeches at Marie and I jump and nearly drop her.
"At least you've gotten a new owl London. I've been stuck with Scabbers." Ron holds up the old rat that's been in their family for as long as I've known them. Errol and Marie both screech at Scabbers which causes me to almost drop her again.
Aunt Molly and Mum hurry us to the wall. Right as we approach it a boy comes up to us.
"Excuse me." He says. "Could you maybe um..." He looked at the wall.
"It's alright dear don't worry." Aunt Molly says to him. "It's London's and Ronald's first year too. All you have to do is just go straight through the wall." He nods and looks at his trolly then the wall.
Aunt Molly tells each person when to go and I make George take my trolly with him. I hold the boys hand and hold onto Ron's arm as we run through the wall. I can feel the look of amazement as I see the Hogwarts Express for the first time ever. My mum has always told me about it but it was more amazing than I could ever imagine.
