"Wait. Moony as in Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs?" I ask
"What?" They all ask looking at me
"It's what the opening to the Marauders map says. I borrowed it from Harry once" I say as I get up
"Yes those Marauders were myself, Sirius, James and..."
"Peter Pettigrew, who betrayed james and Lily. I know the story" I answer, making my bed.
They all leave to let me get dressed and I decided that instead of changing twice today I would just put on the Hogwarts uniform for later tonight. I fix my hair and head downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning Family" I say cheerfully.
"Good morning, Eat up before we go" Sirius says
"Go where?" I ask
"Diagon Alley. Tonks forgot to get you a few things and I wanted to take you to see the Weasleys new shop. It's not ready yet but it was your money and I think you should see it" Sirius says
I eat the plate of food that was placed in front of me before going up to my bathroom to brush my teeth. I wash my face and run down stairs. SIrius and I apparate to Diagon Alley and I see the Shop in the distance.
"Is that it?" I ask pointing towards the building
He nods and we walk closer. I stand completely still as I look through the window and see George pointing and directing people around inside.
"Can I please just go in and say hello?" I ask
"I'm sorry but no. You'll see him tonight" Sirius says before dragging me towards a shop.
I look around and see what looks like a muggle tattoo shop but it's magic.
"What is this place?" I ask looking around
"A tattoo parlor. Pick a design" He tells me
I look at him and he nods. I open the book and see a bunch of designs but then I see the azkaban prison code on Sirius arm and point to it.
"I want that" I say
"Why?" He asks
"So I'll always have a piece of you with me" I say as the tattoo guy turns on the tattoo gun.
I sit still and let the man do the tattoo, when he's finished I give him a galleon and wait for Sirius. I waited for what felt like forever.
"Alright let's go. You've got an entrance to make"
Sirius and I apparate back to the house and I get my trunk. I see Snape standing at the table with the others. I stop and shake his hand politely before turning to the others.
"Well here we are, Any advise?" I ask
"Keep your head up, don't let other get to you and keep your friends close, enemies closer" Sirius says showing his azkaban tattoo
I show him mine and I hear Tonks scream internally
"You let her get a tattoo?" She shouts
"Owl me when Teddy's coming" I say to Lupin and Sirius before grabbing Snapes arm and my trunk.
We apparate back to Hogwarts and stop outside the great hall. I look at snape and I clear my throat.
"I'm sorry, for what I said to you that day in the graveyard" I say before he walks into the hall.
I hear the last first year get sorted and I listen as Dumbledore regains everyone's attention.
"As you may know last year we lost one of finest students during the triwizard tournament. I told you she was murdered by Lord Voldemort, that was false. She wasn't murdered but Lord Voldemort has returned. Anyways we have a New transfer student, Everyone please welcome Hogwarts newest student, Elissabeth Black" Dumbledore says
I take a breath and start walking between the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables. I walk towards Dumbledore and I see Ron turn to Harry.
"Bloody Hell mate, that's Libby" ron says a little too loudly
I look at them and smile nervously. Harry looks sad at first but it quickly turns to anger. I walk towards Dumbledore quickly and take my place on the stool. McGonagall places the sorting Hat on my head.
"Well, Well. ELissabeth Black, where to put you. You show the bravery of a gryffindor, the wisdom of a ravenclaw, the pride of a slytherin and the Loyalty of a Hufflepuff. But where to put you, hmm" The sorting hat says.
I sit patiently for the six minutes the hat stalls. I clear my throat and wait for a response.
"Best be Gryffindor" The hat says.
I stand up and take a step forward but stop turning to face the annoyingly pink lady next to snape.
"Dolores Umbridge, Sirius Black sends his love and wishes you a very pleasant year" I say sarcastically, just to get under her skin.
I watch as her face twitches before I step down and walk towards the Gryffindor table. Ginny stands up and jumps into my arms crying. I feel hands on my back, I see Neville wrapping his arms around us. They let me go and I see Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan standing there nervously. I pull them both into a hug and let out a small laugh
"What's up nerds" I say letting them go
I sit down next to Ginny who's between Neville and Lavender brown. I wrap my arm around Ginny's shoulder.
"I read your letter" I whisper in her ear.
She looks at me and smiles.
"So what have I missed?" I ask looking around
"Not much, Cedric talked about going to Durmstrang but he's still debating" Seamus says
"Oh and Fred got together with Katie Bell, a few months now" Dean says
"I know, I saw them together a few times. I was here for dumbledore's speech last year and the funeral. They got pretty close" I say sadly
I turn to look at the Slytherin table trying to find Draco, Blaise, Pansy and Goyle. I see them still in shock eating slowly.
"I'll be right back" I say standing up and fixing my Gryffindor tie before walking over to them.
I stand in front of them and wait for Blaise and Pansy to turn to look at me. Draco points to me and blaise turns around and hugs me
"We missed you, so much" Blaise says
"I missed you guys too, Funny you never wrote though" I say jokingly
"Actually we did, with owls and everything" Pansy says
"Really, how long ago did you send them?" I ask
"A few weeks after you died, why?" Draco asks
"Because I would've been in romania and I never got anything in the mail. Charlie always got the mail, he must have taken them" I explain
"I think you should go talk to Potter" Draco says
I say my 'see you laters' and walk back to the Gryffindor tables. I sit back down next to Ginny and she looks down the table to the other three ginger haired Weasleys. I nudge her and she looks at me.
"Leave them, they're all mad i can tell. It's been four months I want to be with people who aren't mad at me for leaving okay. So Tell me what happened after the tournament, how where things?" I say
"For a while things were slow but eventually they went back to normal, you just weren't here with us" Seamus says
"We missed you, Libby" Ginny says
