There was a part of him that thought maybe, just maybe, if it was just the Aurors that questioned him, that kept it to themselves and the Ministry, Sirius could have made it through. But they had to make the rumor mill by missing the first day, people whispering and asking where four boys were and then it started. For once, for the first time in seven years, Sirius wished he hadn’t made a name for himself. He’s been wishing for years that he didn’t bear the last name Black and now he really wished he hadn’t been born with the name, the reputation it came with and the reputation he created. For once, he wished he could melt into the shadows and go unnoticed. But he was seen, seen by more people he cared to know about and the subject on everyone’s lips.
It was no difference, the way that the Slytherins handled it, especially the few that hated him for more reasons than Sirius could count. After his fight with Mulciber, it was only a matter of time when more of them would crowd him, would try to gain either revenge for their friend or try to go for a piece of Sirius themselves. He felt Atlas Travers approach as if something told him that something foreboding was coming and he should be on guard. “If you’re here to have a go, can we make it quick? I’ve got class to get to,” his voice filled with boredom as he turned to the Slytherin, hoping his facial features mirrored his tone.
