Sirius's little secret: Cassie Jamie Black

The Hogwarts Express

The date of September 1st came around slowly but it was finally here. I got up before the sun had fully risen in the sky, this in itself was an unusual occurance in its self but what was even more shocking was that I was actually wide awake and not faking it. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and skipped to the bathroom, after doing my teeth and washing my face I walked back in to my room. I sat on my chair and grabbed a hair brush, I then proceeded to brush my hair. 

My silky locks let the brush slide easily through them leaving my hair shiney and soft. I then got changed in to a pair of black skinney jeans that complimented my long legs and a one shoulder black top with white spray painting saying 'live love prank!'. I completed the outfit with a pair of black flats and a black leather jacket. I glanced in the mirror at my reflection and I took a double take. My black hair had turned a happy pink colour and I smiled to my self. I turned it back to black and I made my lips a little pinker. I was a metamorphus and it came in handy some times. My Aunt Tonks helped me to controll my powers as she was one herself. 

The morning turned out to be a busy one no matter how prepared we seemed the night before. I had gone through my trunk 5 times before I was happy that I had everything and my Uncle Mooney had gone through his cases about 7. I was sent in to fits of giggles when he had come down the stairs without his pants on. But finally we were in the cab on our way to kings cross station. London whizzed by the window and I saw many people rushing past with brief cases and determind expressions. 

I climbed out of the car and walked in to kings cross with my luggage on a trolley in frount of me. It was 10:45 and the Hogwarts Express didn't leave for another 15 minuets. I got to the divider between 9 and 10 so I stood facing the wall looking at it determindly. I started to run at the barrier and I closed my eyes at the last second, all of the rational thoughts left my mind and the only one that was going through my head was I'm going to crash! 

The impact never came and the busy platform melted away and another one appered. We pushed our way through the crowd and climbed aboard the express. Searching for a compartment without drawing too much attention to ourselfs was very hard as the children kept staring at my Uncle and whispering behing their hands. I gave sarcastic smiles and over active waves to anyone who threatened to comment. Finally we found an empty compartment at the back of the train and we sat down. 

"So......" I said arkwardly and grinned. He grinned back and then a frown etched his scarred features. "Whats wrong?" I asked and he smiled sadly at me. 

"I haven't been on here since my last year and I was leaving Hogwarts for what I thought was for good. It turns out I am coming back though doesn't it." He smiled and started to dig in his bag for something. He pulled out a battered book with gold lettering. It said 'Memories'. I took the book from his outstreched hands and looked at the picture that were taped in. 

There was a pretty red head with bright green eyes with her arm around Mooney, there was also 3 other boys on the picture. 2 of them had black hair one short the other long they were pushing eachother playfully and grinning. The other boy had sandy hair and was staring at them with a longing, far off expression. All of the pictures had these 4 boys in them and a couple had more than them in them. I looked up at my uncle and he was fast asleep with his head against the window. I smiled and replaced the book when the door opened. 

A boy with scruffy black hair, green eyes, glasses and a lightning bolt scar walked in with a boy with red hair and a girl with bushy brown hair and chocolate eyes. 

"Can we sit in here?" They asked. "Everywhere else is full."

"Yes." I replied. "I'm Cassie by the way."

"Harry Potter." Said the boy with black hair.

"Ronald Weasley. " Said the other.

"Hermionie Granger." The girl finished smiling at me. "I haven't seen you before, are you new?" She asked. 

"Yes I have just started and I am going to be sorted when we get there."

We chatted for what seemed like hours and my uncle snoozed on. I found out all about their adventures and they found out all about my home schooling. Suddenly the train stopped and it suddenly went freezing cold. The window froze up and the door opened again. 

"Hello?" Asked a voice.

"Ginney?" Asked Ron 

"Ron?" Replied the voice

"Hello?" Asked another

"Hi Neville." Harry said. There was some shuffleing and then Hermionie remarked. 

"Ouch Ron thats my foot!" 

I got presseed up against the window so I got up and stood leaning on the wall. 

"Shhhhh" Said my uncle and we both said lumos at the same time. The glow from our wands illuminated the compartment and all of the faces turned to us. The two new faces were a boy with brown hair and a girl younger than us with firey red hair. 

"Is it the dementors?" I asked my uncle. He replied hesitantly. 

"I think so." I raised my wand as the door opened and a cloacked figure appeared. I thought of my happiest memory, when  was told I could go to Hogwarts and focased on it. 

"Expecto patronum." I said and Remus copied soon after. A silvery dog came out of my wand as it was joined by Remus's wolf and they chased the dementor away. Harry was on the floor at my feet and I knelt by him. 

"Harry wake up." I said to him and his eyes fluttered open. I looked up as there was a cracking sound came from above us. Uncle Mooney had broke up some chocolate and handed us all some.

"I am going to speak to the driver." Uncle Mooney said and walked out. I sat back down and blocked out the chatting that was happening around me. The train stopped and I climbed off. A booming voice was calling for first years so I followed the children to boats. 

I climbed in one with some girls who were chatting admintally with each other. We came around the corner and Hogwarts loomed in to view, I gasped with all of the other children and I stared at the magnificent sight.
