It started out as a crush, if you could even call it that. I guess at first I just found him very good looking. Then somewhere between there and the end of the school year, I fell hard for him. You would probably appreciate it if I started from the beginning. Sorry about that.
So my name is Hermione Granger and my "crush" is none other than Sirius Black. I know, I know; he's Harry's godfather and was supposed to be dead. Whatever happened to that? Well, no one is really sure actually. You know he fell through the veil but somehow he got out. Actually I think the story was that he was transported forward in time… by about a month and half. That's the generally accepted story. Of course there are other theory's such as Sirius and Voldemort were working together to get Sirius back to his side. Whatever. We all know differently. Oh and did I mention that the very first thing Sirius did when he got back (other than see Dumbledore and Harry) was to catch Wormtail? Yup, and he got him too. Sirius Black is a free man.
Dumbledore arranged for Sirius to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts for my 6th year at Hogwarts. Needless to say Harry, Ron, and I were quite excited. Me especially, but no one knew that yet.
"Professor" Black is a wonderful teacher. I mean, I always get good grades, but for some reason they seemed even better with him as a teacher. When he was teaching I found him extremely attractive. Therefore I was a little shy around him. I knew it was a stupid crush and that this was after all Harry's godfather and now my Professor. Gosh he might even be old enough to be my father, but I don't really care.
I always looked forward to his class. I loved when he passed a paper back to me with top grades on it. I had a feeling that he was impressed and it just made me want to work harder. When midyear exams came around, I got full marks on my exam. I think he was very impressed by that. I liked that and realized I really did enjoy that he was at least impressed by my work.
The end of the year came around and he recommended me for Defense Against the Dark Arts next year but also an honors course in DADA.
"There is only one other person that I would recommend in this class for the honors course." He had said with his eyes twinkling towards Harry.
My heart did flip flops whenever he spoke, especially if it was to me. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I knew he was a teacher and yet I couldn't stop feeling like this about him. I wanted to impress him. I wanted him to notice me. I want him to love me.
Whoa… not sure where that one came from. Sorry for that. Anyway, now it is almost the start of my 7th and final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and I'm excited to begin. Although I'm not sure if it's because of actually going to school (you know how much I love learning) or because of Sirius. I swear… it's just a stupid crush.
AN: Hello. PadfootBlack4Ever here. Let me know if I should continue with this story or if it is a dud. My other story didn't go too well so I put it on hold to try out this idea I had. Please review and tell me what you really think of it so far. This was just the introduction. I hope to make later chapters longer and filled with more stuff. Only if people tell me I should continue. If you think I should not continue or if I could improve on something, please tell me that too. Thanks and I hope you enjoyed this.
