Dear Sadie
I know you're probably very busy and studying very hard, well I hope you are but there's something I've been wanting to tell you. You know that me and your father seperated a long time ago, and it's not at all your fault. But well, I've met a man that I love very much.. We've been dating for a long time, in secret actually. For about a year. You must understand, you need a dad. And.. Well.. Me and this man, Jonathon want to get married.
It was at the word 'Married' that Sadie stopped reading the letter her Owl Jupiter had just dropped in her Cornflakes. Her mother was so thoughtless and selfish like that. To tell her something so big when she couldn't say or do anything to stop her. She didn't want a new dad, she didn't need one. She'd got on just fine without one. Slowly she folded the letter and gazed at the Greta Hall's wall sadly. She hated her mom, well she really didn't even act like a mom so what was there to love?

Sadie crumped up the message and tossed it on the floor hoping someone would soon tread on it. She sighed placing her head in her hands.
Why now mum? Why when I was happy and felt I belonged somewhere? I hate you.. I really hate you... And I know that you hate me aswell
Sadie thought about this 'Jonathon' for a moment or two, he'd probably run off like her dad when he found out mum had kids. He probably only liked her mum because she looked better than most of the women her age, he probably didn't care about her at all.

Plop!
The Daily Prophet dropped down into Remus Lupin’s plate of bacon.
“Cheers Mousebreath,” he greeted, opening the paper and handing his owl from bacon fat. The headline stared up at him, making Remus’ breathing speed up.
Band Of Werewolves Killed In Raid!
Sure, it wasn’t anyone he knew, but still, a band of werewolves. And he knew better than anyone else that a lycanthrope never kept his or her own mind. So they couldn’t be blamed.
Last night, a group of highly trained lycanthropes raided Hogsmead. The creatures broke into several shops, causing major havoc and general panic. Even though it was not a full moon, this group of beasts could change at will, making them highly dangerous.
Ministry members killed the group of ‘wolves, and are now trying to restore calm to the town. Five people were injured (not bitten), and two were killed. The old group of werewolf hunters are now grouping together, with the Ministry’s watch.

Sadie lifted her head from her hands and stroked the glossy feathers of Jupiter who had lightly pecked her hand for attention. She looked over at Remus glumly and saw he was reading the Daily Prophet, he seemed quite shocked by what he was reading. "So, what's in the news today?" she asked him interestedly.

“They’re hunting werewolves,” he replied quietly, placing the paper before him and glancing at Sadie. “A group of lycanthropes raided Hogsmead last night.” |

"Werewolves? But we had Astronomy last night.. It wasn't a full moon.. They can't have been Werevolves! And why would they raid Hogsmeade? They can't hunt Werewolves! They're actually killing people if they're killing Werewolves.. It's horrible.." she said staring at the wooden table in front of her. "It's practically murder.."

“The Ministry’s all ready said yes to it. And apparently, this was a group of highly trained werewolves. Ones that could change at will,” Remus sighed. |

"Grr, The Minister of Magic is evil.. So they could transform at will? Maybe some kind of Morphing demon group is trying to frame Werewolves or something? I mean, I don't think Werewolves that can transform at will would decide to go and get themselves killed.." she said after thinking about it for a while.

“I know, it’s really unfair. And they say they might be putting some of the hunters around Hogwarts, just in case.” Remus replied. |

"Around Hogwarts? That's crazy.. Even if there was a werewolf at Hogwarts, Dumbledore wouldn't let thme hurt anyone.. He's too caring.." She said holding her head up with her right hand.

“Yeah. I guess they’re not taking any chances, really.” Remus muttered, sighing as he picked up the paper again. |

"So, have you recieved anything happy today?" she asked watching as a few Hufflepuffs recieved Sweets and Treats from their parents. She sighed before pushing her bowl of Cornflakes away.

The lanky frame of Sirius Black strode along the length of the Great Hall, cheerful notes escaping his pursed lips.
As he approached the Gryffindor table, Sirius studied the pupils carefully, searching for a friend to sit beside.
Thankfully, his gaze fell upon Remus Lupin conversing with... Sirius leaned closer. Who was he talking to? Ah...Sadie Butley.
Still whistling, Sirius wandered over to his companion, swinging a leg over the bench beside him.
"Alright, Remus?" he greeted his friend, slapping on the back.
"Sadie?" Having Sadie a curt nod, Sirius looked away from the girl... Painful memories of the first ever train journey to Hogwarts sprang up before his eyes.
To distract himself from these thoughts, Sirius seized a plate and began loading it with rashers of bacon, slices of thickly buttered toast and countless eggs.
As he poured himself a glass of pumpkin juice, Sirius sighed contentedly.
"Nothing a like a good breakfast to start the day!" he smiled at his friends.

Sadie looked at him. "Oh, hi Ratboy.." she said with a cheeky grin. "Why are you so cheerful?" she said leaning back on the bench to pick up the letter her mum had sent her. She was going to send her unsuspecting mother a very nasty reply to her letter.
After thinking for a few moments Sadie looked at Sirius, "You wouldn't happen to know who's been stealing my stuff, do you?".

“Oh, Sirius! Have you heard the news yet?” Remus asked, looking up as he heard Sirius approaching.
“It’s terrible!”<br> |
