Lumos ⤳ sirius black

Chapter 11, The Sorting.

*Lucy's POV*

THE SUMMER HAD PASSED BY QUICKLY, AS IT WAS time to return to Hogwarts once again. But believe me, I wasn't one to complain about it.

I was too excited, as I got visited by James and Remus, but just letters from Sirius and Peter.

I was fearing that Remus was in an abusive family, since all the time he came back with bruises and scars and say, "It's a family thing."

I didn't mention it to anyone since who knew why Remus didn't tell us. Actually its pretty obvious why he didn't tell us.

Anyway, I was finishing writing to Sirius when I noticed that it was 1am. Shit.

I couldn't wake up Noah, since he got cranky and just tried to sleep. I woke up at 5am.

So I only got like 3 and a 1/2 hours of sleep.

It was fine though, Noah actually woke me up.

He was hungry and thirsty apparently, I dropped his food plate and water bowl and he hooted softly, as if saying thanks.

I was talking to him, well more like whispering, I didn't want to wake my family up.

"Can you give Sirius this letter please?" I asked him (he continued to eat), "As usual give it straight to him ok?"

I looked at him and said, '"I think I like him." I scoffed and said, "I'm so stupid for being like that, I couldn't have fallen for someone else, someone like Remus? You know, he's nice and honestly cute but I just don't.."

He looked at me as if saying, Like you just said, why not Remus?

I looked at him and said, "I don't like him like that Noah."

"Anyways, give this letter to Sirius. Be safe ok? Also come as quickly as possible."

He hooted and left. I had nothing to do, but then, my stomach growled.

Ugh, not now.

Fortunately, I had restocked my secret hiding food place with chips because they were delicious. I got up and got a small bag and ate them, I looked at the clock 5:29.

Wow, time was slow. I had a dog, but he was probably sleeping in my parents bed. I was thinking then I remembered, It's September 1st!

I shot up and starting rummaging through my trunk making sure I got everything and making sure I brought his present with me, he had barely told me that his birthday was in November 3rd, very close to mine.

I had gotten him a book about constellations, I'm sure he'll love it.

He'll hate it, I'll just see if I can return the favor of dying his hair like he did on my birthday. As well as James, they owe me, big time.

"Hurry!" My Mom yelled frantically, "We're going to be late!" I got Noah and my go to bag before rushing down the stairs; my trunk was already downstairs.

"Come on, we're using the floo powder!" My mom yelled once more,

"I'm coming!" I yelled back.

My mother was not exactly the most patient person to exist.

"About time you came down here." She scoffed, I just rolled my eyes, "Don't you roll your eyes at me."

I didn't do anything but I scoffed under my breath.

"Kings Cross Station!" I yelled, my hands holding the cart that had Noah and my trunk.

We appeared in an wizarding office who were telling us that platform 9 and 3/4 were just ahead.

We ran noticing the time. 10:45.

As I went through the wall that had platform 9 and 3/4, though my eyes were looking for people I knew.

I saw Lily and Marlene but not James or Remus or Sirius or Peter, They must be on the train.

My parents were talking to Lily's parents and I was with Lily, both of us saying our goodbyes.

I went ahead and looked for the compartment that we had agreed to try and get at the end of last year.

As I went to the end of the train where the compartment was I saw Lily bid me goodbye and going in a compartment with Severus.

I went ahead, where I hoped to find them, the train was about to leave.

I finally got to the compartment and they were there.

"Finally!" Sirius yelled, being overdramatic.

"We thought you went with Lily." Explained Remus.

"I bet you were jealous," I told James.

"Look who's talking about being jealous." Said James in a cocky tone, I simply pulled my tongue out.

After sitting down in the Gryffindor table Sirius was eager to see the first years be sorted, "My brother is in there, on one of the boats, or in the line, waiting to be sorted and I hope he gets Gryffindor." He explained, James patted him in the back and said, "Maybe."

The door opened and Sirius half rose from his seat but James pulled him down and Sirius muttered a eager "Sorry."

McGonagall rolled the parchment and said,

"Kristen Alwain!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Neil Bagsment!"
"RAVENCLAW!"

"Helena Bagsment!"
"Ooh siblings," I heard James say,
"GRYFFINDOR!"
We cheered as Helena walked over to our table.

"Regulus Black!"

Silence, as Regulus sat on the wooden stool. The seconds seemed to crawl by, though we all knew he was going to be in Slytherin, we hoped he would be with us. Sirius once again half rose from his seat, only to be stopped by James comforting hand, Sirius backed down realizing that there was nothing to be done, he will be in Slytherin. By now, a minute had passed and Sirius still was smiling,
"SLYTHERIN!" Yelled the sorting hat.

He nodded sadly and James squeezed his shoulder, despite Regulus being sorted into Slytherin, Sirius was still smiling.

"Julian Presoct!"
"Sorry mate," said Remus. "Ah it's fine," remarked Sirius, "I knew he was going to be in Slytherin." Peter, James, and Remus were still confused,
("RAVENCLAW!")

"Then," whispered Peter, "Why are you smiling?"

"Because," Me and Sirius said at the same time, "the hat hesitated."

Eventually the sorting was over and we finally got to eat.

"Man I'm starving." Exclaimed James, looking over to were Lily was.

I snickered and he looked away, blushing.

"You guys are cute," I said, "Even though she hates you." "

"Eh, she'll warm up to me."
