The Marauders

~First Year~

Chapter 1

Water, Family + lots of Bacon

Sirius

"WAAAGGGHHH WHAAATT!?" yelled Sirius Black as a jet of ice cold water fell on his head, making him shout.

"Get UP you LOUSY BOY GET UP!" shouted Walburga Black angrily "I'LL GET KREACHER ON YOU!

Sirius groaned and brushed his long hair out of his face. He slowly threw is covers on his four-poster bed back. He got up and padded to the bathroom before heading downstairs to the kitchen in his pyjamas.

"Regulas, darling, can you please get the post?" smiled Walburga sweetly.

"Yes mother!" Regulas replied, Sirius rolled his eyes, trust precious Regulas to suck up to 'Mother'. Sirius has always got on well with Regulas however when their family talked about 'purebloods being the best, mudbloods are scum' they had different opinions. Regulas hung onto their every word but Sirius found that he trusted his cousin Andromeda and her telling of how 'Mudblood' was a horrible word; purebloods are just as good as other wizards like half-bloods and muggle-borns.

This was why Sirius' family disliked him. Except Eda. She was going to start her seventh-year at Hogwarts in September and Sirius would be joining her, when he got his letter. He had been waiting for the day he could escape since Eda had started. He hated that he would probably be sorted into Slytherin even-though he was as different as he could be.

"SIRIUS! Your LETTER! IT'S ARRIVED!" yelled Regulas from the window.

Sirius, who was helping himself to bacon, gasped and dropped the fork in his haste to rush to the window alongside Reg.

"Oh, wow!"

"Open it! Go on!"

"Sirius! Pick up your fork!"

Sirius ignored his mother and opened his letter with glee:
