Intro: This begins during Sirius' 5th year at Hogwarts.

Sirius finished his Defense Against the Dark Arts exam five minutes early, convinced that he would receive an O on this owl. He tilted his chair back onto two legs and gave James the thumbs up. A thin girl sat behind, eying him hopefully, but Sirius didn't notice. When the exam was over Professor Flitwick collected the pieces of parchment and let the students leave. As Sirius headed towards the end of the Great Hall he bumped into the girl at the desk behind him. Her inkbottle smashed to the floor and she bent down to clean it up. Sirius glanced at her robes, and seeing that she was in Ravenclaw (not a bad house) decided to help. "Reparo" he said pointing his wand at the inkbottle and watched as it mended itself. "Sorry about that" he added.

"Oh, um no problem, ah thanks" said the girl, blushing. As she stood up Sirius saw that she was very pretty. She had medium length brown hair that was streaked with blonde and her bright blue eyes shown in the afternoon light. They simply stared at each other for a moment and Sirius' stomach did a funny little flip.

"Ah yeah," Sirius replied nervously breaking the gaze, and ran off to join Remus, James and Peter in the Entrance Hall.

"What was that all about?" asked James as they head down towards the lake.

"Oh, I just knocked over some girl's inkbottle" he replied quickly. Yet as he did he looked back up at the castle to see if she was there. He spotted her at the top of the stone steps looking out over the grounds, no doubt for her friends. She was framed against the darker Hogwarts interior and her hair and robes blew slightly in the breeze. Sirius stood there wondering why he had never noticed her before. He was shaken out of his daze when he heard his name.

"Oy, Sirius, what are you doing?" shouted Lupin, who was much farther down the field.

"Huh?" said Sirius as he turned, only to realize that his friends were about 10 feet in front of him. "Oh, er, nothing."

As he caught up with them Wormtail grinned and said, "I'd go out with her." Sirius threw him a dirty look and marched silently down to the lake.

Sirius didn't see the girl for the rest of the day.

"She must have gone into the courtyard," he thought.

He crushed the feeling of slight disappointment inside of him and pretended that nothing had happened. The transfiguration exam was tomorrow and he had to study, which succeeded in keeping his mind busy for the rest of the night. However, as he got into bed he thought about what Wormtail had said and realized, with a jolt, that he really didn't want Wormtail to get that girl.

"Get a grip," he thought to himself, "its just a girl." With that thought in mind he fell asleep.

What will Sirius learn about this girl?
