“As if not adding our own touches was ever in question. Besides, the last thing we needed was the blasted portrait of my mother screaming at us every single time we walked through the doors.” Sirius sent Lily an amused grin. “At least it’s starting to not feel like the house I grew up in and a good mixture of us.”

Cassie laughed as she watched them. It had been really hard to leave them and to go to Hogwarts. It had been everything she’d been looking forward to of course but after traveling as much as they did, learning as much as she had… it was weird staying in one place for more than a few months. Not only that but not seeing them every day like she was so used to was an even bigger adjustment.

Many of her peers didn’t seem to understand it at first (mostly why she would even bother to go to Hogwarts when her family left England all those years ago) but she wasn’t exactly their prime focus, thankfully. Most of the attention went to Neville Longbottom, The Boy Who Lived… or, if you asked Cassie, The Boy Who Was Dealt A Lousy Hand.

He was nice though and had even offered to sit with her for a class. He was shy and not at all like the few sleazy articles (the ones that got passed his grandmother) penned him to be (namely boisterous and arrogant).

“I don’t know, Dad - I almost miss the slight hesitation she had on her face when she’d see me. Like she was still surprised that you had a child. I wonder what she’d think now.” Though, truth be told, she didn’t at all miss it nor would she ever have cared enough to meet the woman in real life. She seemed like a monster of a woman!

Cassie lifted a hand to brush the stray tear aside, just happy that she was back home with her parents.

“Professor Quirrell is definitely the strangest of the lot. He reeks of garlic and has an unusual turban on his head. At first I thought he was turned into a vampire while he was in Romania but he insists he received it from a prince. Something isn’t right about him though. He’s a strange one. And Professor Snape! Merlin, he’s a right pain but worse to Neville Longbottom.”

Sirius hold Lily close and watched and listened as Cassie spoke. He was glad, no, thrilled that although she was sorted into Slytherin, she was still Cassie… the girl who seemed to make friends no matter where she went. He wanted to say something especially snarky about Snape but he refrained.
