Sirius Black

Anastasia's PoV

"Can you believe this is our final year at Hogwarts?" I say, looking up from the Quibbler I was reading.
"I know, it's crazy!" My best friend, Margot says. "I still have no idea what I want to do once school finishes."
"I thought you wanted to be an Auror?" I asked, placing my magazine onto my lap.
"An Auror? Really?" My other best friend, Nancy says. "You can barely defend yourself against spells."
Margot gives out a sarcastic laugh.
"For your information, I've been practicing during the summer and I've gotten better."
Nancy scoffs.
"I believe it when I see it."
"Says you!" Margot says. "I'm surprised you haven't been expelled from Hogwarts. How many times did you hex Malfoy last year?"
"Malfoy had it coming every time." Nancy says, "don't think I won't do it again this year."
I giggle as I watch Margot roll her eyes.
"Just don't kill anyone, alright?"
"Can't make any promises..."
"What about you, Ana?" Nancy asks me. "What do you want to do once you've finished school?"
I thought for a bit before replying.
"I've been thinking about becoming a professor at Hogwarts. I don't think I have the heart to really leave Hogwarts forever. It's been my home for the past seven years and it's going to be hard for me to leave."
"I can see you doing that," Margot says. "What lesson would you teach?"
"Well, my favourite lesson is DADA, so maybe I'll do that."
Nancy laughs.
"Let's hope you last more than a year unlike the other professors."
I laugh too.
"Apparently the position is cursed according to the students."
"It's true though," Nancy says. "Quirrell and Lockhart only lasted a year."
"I wonder who our new professor is this year." I say.
"Anything is better than Lockhart," Nancy says. "I couldn't stand that man."
"He was cute though." Margot's cheeks turned red as she said this.
Nancy lets out a fake gag and rolls her eyes.
"Oh please, that man made me head ache."
"Well, let's just hope our new professor not only stays more than a year, but knows their stuff." I said.

Just then, the train jolts before it starts slowing down and coming to a complete stop.
"What the heck?" I say, sitting myself up and looking around. "Why are we stopping? We can't be there yet."
"Surely not," Margot says, peering out the window. "I can't see where we are with all this rain."
We then start hearing other compartments doors opening, probably students wondering what was going on. The train gives out another jolt and the lights begin to flicker before the whole train went dark. We all then started to realise how cold it suddenly got. We could see our breathes and we watched as the window begins to freeze with ice. The train lets out a low moan before jolting once more.
"What the fuck is going on?! Margot exclaims.
I then notice something out the corner of my eye and turned to look at the side of the compartment door. Margot and Nancy noticed this and followed my gaze. A dark, large shadow was slowly walking down the train, its ragged robes floating, almost like it was under water. We watch as its skeleton like hand reached towards the handle of the door, which unlocked without being touched. My breath hitched in my throat as I watch the door open to reveal the dark figure who turned its face towards ours. I scattered backwards until my back hit against the window, Margot and Nancy doing the same on the other side.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" I screamed, holding the Quibbler in front of me as some sort of protection, ready to protect myself from whatever this thing was about to do.
"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!" Screamed Margot, grabbing her wand from her pocket and aiming it at the figure.
We all began to scream as the figure very slowly started to enter the compartment.
"I refuse to die before my final year! I refuse!" Nancy shouts.
"I don't think we have a fucking choice, Nance!" Margot shouts back, "what spell do I fucking use?!"
"E-er, leviosa?!" Stutters Nancy.
"Leviosa?!" Exclaims Margot. "You want me to use a fucking levitation spell on it? The bitch is already floating!"
"Will you two stop bickering!" I shout.
Before they could reply, a bright light suddenly appears from outside and the figure groans and starts backing out of the compartment, before it was completely out of sight and disappeared. The light went dark and everything went silent. We heard footsteps quickly make their way towards our compartment and we looked up to see a man standing there.
"You girls ok?" He asked, slipping his wand back into his pocket.
I swallowed and nodded my head.
"I think so..."
Margot and Nancy went back to their seats.
"What on earth was that thing?" Nancy asked.
The man steps into our compartment sits besides me.
"It was a dementor, one of the guards of Azkaban. It was searching the train for Sirius Black."
"Sirius who?" I questioned.
"Didn't you hear?" Margot asked.
I shook my head.
"He's a prisoner that escaped from Azkaban a while ago. It's all over the Daily Prophet."
"Bloody hell." I say.
"You girls look shook up, here." The man says, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a chocolate bar. He breaks it into pieces and gave us all a piece.
"Chocolate?" Nancy questions, raising an eyebrow.
"It helps." He says.
She shrugs before taking a bite.
"So, who are you?" Margot asked.
"I'm Professor Lupin," the man says. "The new DADA professor."
"Really?!" Nancy says. "Well, all I can say is good luck!"
Professor Lupin lets out a chuckle.
"Good luck?"
"It's because non of our previous professors have lasted more than a year," I said. "We're really in need of one to stay long term."
Professor Lupin smiles.
"Well, I can promise you I'll try and stay. May I ask yours names?"
"I'm Margot."
"I'm Nancy."
"And I'm Ana."
"Lovely to meet you all. You girls in your final year?" He asked.
We nodded.
"Well, I hope it's a great year for you. I do hope you enjoy DADA a lot more this year."
"I do hope so," Margot says. "I really need a good grade to be an Auror."
"I'll certainly do my best to help you there." Professor Lupin says. "Anyway, I'll leave you girls to it and I'll see you at Hogwarts."
We bid our farewells to him before he leaves the compartment.
"Well, he seems nice." Nancy says. "I have a really good feeling about him."
"Same!" Margot says. "He looks like he knows his stuff."
"Let's only pray he does!" I said.

The feast had started and Dumbledore made his yearly speech as usual.
"Welcome, welcome to another year at Hogwarts. Now before we start our feast, I am delighted to announce that we have a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Professor Lupin!" Dumbledore turned to Lupin who stood up and bowed slightly.
"He seems so sweet!" Nancy says, earning a giggle from Margot and I.
"I'd also like to announce that our previous Care of Magic Creatures professor Kettleburn has decided to retire, to spend his time with his remaining limbs," Dumbledore says. "Fortunately, his position will be taken by none other than our own, Rebeus Hagrid."
The hall erupted in cheers and claps as Hagrid stood up and smiles before sitting back down.
"Finally, on a more disquieting note, at the request of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the dementors of Azkaban. Until such a time as Sirius Black is captured. The dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds. Now whilst I've been assured that their presence will not disrupt our day-to-day activities, a word of caution...dementors are vicious creatures. They'll not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way. Therefore, I must warn each and every one of you, give them no reason to harm you. It is not in the nature of the dementor, to be forgiving. But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkness of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light."
"This year is going to be an exciting one, I can feel it!" Nancy says.
"With those dementors floating about?" Margot says sarcastically. "And that crazy prisoner? Very exciting!"
I giggle.
"Well, I think it's going to be a good year..."
