    “It’s going to be fine dear.”

    “But what if someone brings up dad. Most everyone still thinks of him as a criminal.” I complained to my mother. I knew she understood exactly where I was coming from.

    “We’ll just have to bear it. We know the truth and thats all that matters.” My mother gave her brilliant bright smile.

    “I won’t be able to make any friends because of it.” I replied.

    “You have your sister.” She answered back as I looked over at my sleeping sister, “And that Potter boy and his friends! I know they know the truth!” I simply sighed in relief. “You just have to get through school until Christmas break, then we can go visit daddy at Grimmauld Place.”

    I remained silent the rest of the drive to King’s Cross Station so me and my sister could get to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This would be our seventh school, previous ones being various muggle and magic schools, academies and institutes. You see my mother, Rayna Black, a half-blood witch, worked as an art teacher, and would now be working at Hogwarts. My father, Sirius Black, on the other hand had a different life. On Halloween night in 1981, mere days after my younger sister Kailene was born, my father was arrested and taken to Azkaban for a crime he did not commit. Since then it has been constant running, hiding and dodging. The ministry wanted nothing more than to take my mother in for questioning and keep us from having any contact with him, afraid we would divese a plan to break him out. We of course had no intention of doing so. We were happy with the very rare letters we got and the stories and photos my mother had of him.  As I looked out the window of car, I could see King’s Cross start to come into view.

    We unloaded the car of our bags and other things and made our ways into the station and onto the famous Platform 9 3/4. A worried look stained my face the whole time.

    “it’s going to be fine dear. I will meet you at the school.” My mother smiled at me. I couldn’t help but give a slight smile back. I was relieved to know that she would be there with us. She gave us both a quick kiss and waved goodbye as we boarded the Hogwarts Express.
