    The next day, I'm free to leave the hospital wing around lunch. I walk over to the Slytherin table to see Draco nowhere. I shrug and sit at the Gryffindor table. "I know you had your last class with Draco. Do you know where he is?" I ask. Harry sighs. "He called a hippogriff ugly, and it attacked him. He must've been carried into the hospital wing right after you left." Harry says.
    I quickly shove a sandwich in my mouth before getting up and running to the hospital wing. "Draco!" I exclaim, seeing him sitting sulkily on a bed. He looks up at me and smiles. "I'm okay. The stupid brute scratched me. My father will hear about-" Draco stops talking upon seeing my face. "Draco, if you milk this and anything happens to that cute hippogriff..." I threaten. Draco scratches the back of his neck. "Pomfrey may have already written to father." He says nervously. "You don't think Uncle Lucy would do anything do you?" I ask.  "He's never liked the gamekeeper much." Draco admits. Sighing, I bid Draco goodbye and walk to my next class.
    A few weeks later, Harry comes rushing to me at breakfast to make sure I'm okay. "Why wouldn't I be?" I ask. "Sirius Black broke into Gryffindor tower." He says. I cover my mouth in surprise.  We know that Sirius Black is Harry's godfather, and that he's the reason Lily and James are dead. We're sure Sirius is coming to get Harry now.
    When I walk into Defense Against The Dark Arts, I'm early. Remus rushes over to me. "Bella! What happened to your face?" My godfather asks. "Other Slytherins beat me up." I whisper in reply. He sighs. "Tell me Severus has done something." He says. "He doesn't know Rem." I say. "Draco took care of it though." Remus chuckles. "And so did Harry?" He asks. "And George and Fred." I say.
    Next I have potions, and Uncle Sev has nearly the same response as Remus. "I will take care of it right now." He says, seeing Pansy in the corridor. Ginny sits beside me and smirks. "Did someone finally get tired of your big mouth?" She asks. "No actually. Someone didn't like me spending time with my cousin, Draco. But don't fret. Draco, Fred, George, and Harry took care of it." I fire back. "What did you do? Use the imperious curse? Death eater." She says. "No. There's this thing called love. You wouldn't understand." I say before moving seats.
    That's how my days go. The poor hippogriff is to be executed, and I sent Uncle Lucy a letter about it. He replied with an apology, but the damage was done.
    On the day of the execution, Harry asks me to walk to Hagrid's with he, Ron, and Hermione. Hagrid hurried us along when we heard everyone coming. As we were walking back to the school, Scabbers was struggling, so Ron dropped him. I dove for him, and when I looked up, a big black dog was standing in front of me. Harry was close, but before he could get to me, the dog was pulling me into the Whomping Willow. My leg was bloody and twisted at odd angles. The dog finally let me down, and then transformed into Sirius Black before my eyes. "Sky?" He asks. "That's my mother. You're my uncle." I say. Sirius looks shocked. "Regulus and Skylar got married?" He asks. "And had a kid." I finish. For some reason, I'm not afraid of him.   "I never even knew they were engaged." He says, sadness flickering in his eyes. "I have your eyes. I didn't get them from either of my parents." I say suddenly. "So you got that gene. The only person to have them before me was your great-grandmother." He says. "Reg and I looked the same except for the eyes. I don't know who you look like more. Sky or him." He says sadly. "They look similar too." I say. "No. You have your mother's nose, but your father's chin. Other than that and your eyes and your build, you look exactly like your mother." He says. "My build?" I ask. "You've got the build of a seeker, like your dad. "That's what I play." I say proudly. (I forgot quidditch try outs guys!!!! Forgive me!)
    Then the golden trio comes busting in, wands at the ready. "Leave her alone!" Harry shouts. "He's cool Harry." I say. "He's a murderer!" Harry exclaims. "I don't think he is Harry." I say. After a few minutes of Harry and I arguing, Remus and Uncle Sev burst into the room. "Black!" Uncle Sev exclaims. "What?" Sirius and I say at the same time. "Not the time Anna." He says. "I've explained everything to Severus here. Now tell me Sirius, did you change without telling me?" My uncle nods. "Prove it." Uncle Sev says. "Bella, hand me the rat." Sirius says. To the horror of Ron, I hand him over. A few waves of a wand later, a short ugly man stands where Scabbers had been on the floor. "Oh my gosh." I say.
    The man who turned out to be Peter Pettigrew was quite close to me, so I naturally started freaking out. "Remus!" I cry. "Uncle Sev!" Both men come over and heave me up. "Sirius, what did you do?" Remus asks. "I was going for the rat but her leg got in my way." Sirius replies. "Well you did a fine job of getting Pettigrew!" Uncle Sev huffs. He mutters something and I'm suddenly floating. "I can fly!" I exclaim. "You can always fly Anna." Uncle Sev says. "Touche." I reply.
    The entire story was very long, so I'll sum it up. Lily and James went into hiding because Voldemort was out to get them and Harry. They used a spell that required one person to know their location. Sirius was the original pick, but he felt that was too obvious so he, Lily, and James secretly made Pettigrew the secret keeper. He sold them out to Voldemort.
    We chained Pettigrew to Ron and Remus. When we stepped out of the tunnel however, Remus turned into his werewolf self. He forgot his potion. During all the commotion, Pettigrew was able to transform and get away. Remus and Sirius started fighting, like I was fighting to stay on my feet as Uncle Sev had lost his concentration on whatever spell he had used. "Hermione!" I cried. She was the only one in my field of vision. She turns around just in time to see me pass out.
    When I wake up, sunlight is streaming through the window beside my bed in the hospital wing. Harry, Hermione, and Ron all lay awake in other beds. "Sirius!" I exclaim. Harry winks at me. "It's all taken care of." He says.
    Over the course of my two night stay in the hospital wing, I'm visited by Fred, George, and Harry. No Draco though. When I finally get out of the hospital wing, I go to lunch and see him sitting beside Pansy. "Draco?" I ask. He looks up at me, and I notice his eyes are a cold grey. That look is usually reserved for his enemies. "What do you want?" He sneers. "I just wanted to talk to you." I reply. "Well I don't want to talk to you. Get lost." He says.
    In tears, I head over to the Gryffindor table and sit beside Harry. "Bells? What's the matter?" He asks. "Draco hates me! He looked at me like he looks at his enemies!" I exclaim. Harry looks at me in shock. "Draco can't hate you! You're his favorite person!" Harry exclaims. I shrug. "I don't know what happened!"
    Draco continues to act that way until the end of the last term. I board the Hogwarts Express to go home for the summer, happy with the year I've had.

This is a very bad chapter. I don't have the book to go off of either. Now do you see why I wanted to skip third year a little? Which I did. Sorry for the bad writing!!
