fanfiction | harry potter : Misfit
title: Misfit
genre: general
character(s): sirius
word count: 124
rating: g
He stares at the red envelope, slowly dissolving into ashes. One eyebrow raised, the corner of his lip lifted up into a smirk. He stares, and he stares. Both corners of his perfect, pureblood lips are drawn upwards.
And he laughs.
A belly laugh.
And it sounds slightly mad.
Maybe he is. Maybe he isn't.
He doesn't know anymore.
Not since the evening before, when the Sorting Hat had called out, instead of Slytherin, pureblood Slytherin, slimy, cunning Slytherin, Gryffindor, good, brave, reckless Gryffindor.
He knows his parents' disappointment.
He knows his cousins' disappointment.
But he also knows his new friends' happiness.
Because they're sitting next to him, laughing.
Because he's a misfit, in a family of Slytherins.
And maybe it's a good thing.
