Black

Chapter One

"So, I just walk through this wall?" I questioned my Uncle as we stood in front of a tall brick wall.

"Are you serious?" I raised a eye brow at him. I don't know about you but I seriously was not looking forward to running straight into a brick wall. He nodded hastily at me and pushed me forward toward it.

"Yes, yes! I'm serious! Now hurry before the express takes off". I rolled my eyes at him and I gripped the handle bar of my trolley and I backed up for a running start. I squinted my eyes shut tight and then, I ran. I felt wind whoosh past my ears and my dark black hair blew across my face. Then, I heard a high-pitched whistle and my eyes snapped open. I gasp in pure astonishment. In front of me was the one and only Hogwarts Express.

   It was a gorgeous red and the sun seemed to reflect off it, even though there was no sun. "Come on, Nova" I heard my Uncle call me by my middle name as he grabbed my trolley and pushed it to the train entrance. 


"Nova, I'm going to take a quick nap during the train ride okay? I'm still tired from last night,” my Uncle Rem said as he pulled his hat over his face. I nodded in understanding; the full moon was last night. "I'm just going to run to the restroom real quick" I said as I left the compartment with a grin. 



  When I returned to the compartment, there sat three strangers with my sleeping Uncle. When I opened the door they all sharply turned to me and I awkwardly smiled. "Who are you?" A red headed boy ask rudely. The girl across from him reached over and slapped his arm. "Ronald!" She screeched at him. She then turned to me and smiled warmly at me "Hermione Granger" she introduced as she put her hand out for me to shake. "Carina Nova Edith Bl- uh Lupin" I covered myself. 
My Uncle said it was best to use his last name for, you guessed it safety 'pre cautions’. I guessed to myself that this would make making friends a lot easier, considering I wouldn’t share the same last name as a mass murder. I grinned as I shook her hand back.  I then plopped down beside her.

"Lupin, did you say?" Hermione ask from my side. "Yes?" I responded quickly.  "As in Professor R.J Lupin?" She ask, looking at sleeping Uncle Rem. "Uhh...Yes he's my Godfather, so I just took his last name!" I said stupidly. "Ron Weasley" the red headed boy introduced himself. "Carina Nova Edith Lupin but please call me whatever you want because that is a mouth full" I laughed and the boy across from me chuckled. He had messy black hair that seemed to be untamable and he had circular glasses. He looked oddly familiar. He reminded me of a picture I had seen in an old scrapbook at my Uncle's. He looked like... Oh my Goodness! James Potter! This is Harry Potter!  

"Potter, Harry Potter" he said with a grin. "Nice to meet you, Potter" 

 Just then it got colder. The lights flickered off and I nearly fell out of my seat from the train stopping so suddenly. I shivered immensely and hugged my arms to my sides.  The cold hit me all at once and it seemed to stun me, take my breath away. Speaking of my breath, it currently was coming out of my mouth in to puffs in the cold air. The windows started to freeze over with ice.

“What the bloody hell?” Ron muttered to himself. I looked over at Hermione fearfully. I knew what was happening.

All was silent, still till “Dementors” I said in a muttering tone to myself.  “Dementors” I said again jumping from my seat. “What?” Harry ask me confused.

Then the compartment door slid open and I turned to it dramatically. Then I felt someone run into me, making me stumble. “Ouch” I said quietly.

“Sorry” I heard a voice back.

“Hello, Neville” Harry’s voice sounded. “What do you reckon in going on, Harry?” The boy, Neville said back.

The door slid open again and I heard a squeak from Hermione and another girl.

“Who is that?” I heard an unfamiliar girl voice ask

“Who is that?” I heard Hermione ask back.

“Hermione?”  “Ginny?” Oh so this girls name is Ginny.

“Why are you here Ginny?” I heard Ron ask rudely from across the compartment. Well, it’s nice to know he greets everyone in that tone.

“I just came to look for you.” I heard her say.

“Sit down then” he replied to her. There was a shuffle in the room. “Not here!” I could hear Harry scream in surprise as Ginny sat on his lap “I’m here!”  In normal situations I would have laughed but this was not a normal situation.

“Lupin” I called as I approached where I thought my sleeping Uncle lay. I shook his shoulder till I heard mutter back at me.

“What’s going on?” He said in a tired and confused voice.  The room, dark and cold I said the word I had said three times once more. “Dementors”

Then I heard the compartment door slam open forcefully and bang to the wall. Lightning flashed and all I saw was a masked creature float slowly into the room. I gasp in fright as it approached closer and closer to me then suddenly, it turned toward Harry. Harry fell to the floor and I felt my eyes water as my Uncle screamed out “None of us have Sirius Black under our cloaks! Go!”

But, the hooded figure did not leave. No, it looked up… and came toward me.

I collapsed to the ground and I felt dreadfully depressed as my worst memories played like a slideshow throughout my mind.  I felt sweat beading down my fore head and I could feel myself shaking. I could not see, all was dark.
