Chapter 3: The Irony of it all

Sienna Thorton was at the library, reading The Enigma of an Animagus when the light from the window was blocked. Looking up irately, she was faced with the one and only Evan Rosier, aka the bane of her existence. Honestly, the guy wouldn't leave her alone; people would mistake him for a Hufflepuff if they saw how he behaved with her, like a lost puppy.

"Rosier, you're blocking my light. Move!"

"You're the light of my life, Sienna," He declared in an elaborate gesture, taking a seat opposite her on the table. Dang, there were no more free spaces in the library. Deciding that peace and quiet were more important than her wish to stay in the library, Sienna gathered her books and left the library with, surprise surprise, Rosier following her. Now all she had to do was walk to the human inhabited part of the castle and he'd disappear. Afterall, he wasn't very keen on the world knowing about his almost stalker-ish ways, or the insane crush he told her he had on her.

"Sienna, wait! I need to talk to you!"

"I need you to disappear, but does that happen?" She snapped back, turning to him. Belatedly, she realized that she had given him the chance to catch up to her.

"Not until you agree to go out with me." He smirked that awful smirk that always had her blood boiling.

"Why would you want to date a lowly Ravenclaw? I thought any house other than Slytherin was unacceptable?"

"There are only so many Slytherin girls," He seemed serious, annoying her further. He honestly wanted to date her simply because there were no Slytherins left? This was going way out of hand. She stormed away from him, intent on never looking at his goddamned face ever again.

"Hey wait! That came out wrong. What I meant was…"

"I think what you really meant all these days is painfully clear, Rosier." She tried to walk past him, but he was resolutely blocking her way.

"I messed up once. Let me explain?" Seeing no way she could walk away from him, she nodded grudgingly.

"I was looking for someone to date outside the house, okay? And then you seemed to jump out of nowhere and I…I lost focus. I mean, all I could think was Where had she been hiding all this time? I know you'll think I'm flattering you and things but the truth is, you were the most intriguing person I ever met. And I don't know, you make me act so different it frightens me. I'm kind of freaked out, but I can't seem to stay away from you either,"

"Don't you ever care about what others feel? About the reason why I refuse to agree?" All she needed was an assurance that he wasn't associated with the terrible things bespoken about the House of the Serpent.

"All you need in life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure." Of course, even her most elementary wishes couldn't come true. What had she expected? For him to be a spy for the good side? Fat chance.

"I'm not your experiment and I absolutely refuse to be your guinea pig, Rosier so get the hell out of here!"

Taking her own advice, Sienna stormed away from the corridor, and away from his life. Rosier really tried to meet with her after that, but she just happened to be too damn elusive.

It was during the Christmas holidays that he came to know of the news: The Thortons home had been attacked; there had been no survivors.

Evan Rosier often wondered how screwed up his life was; he had pledged his life to the very person that had taken away the one girl who might have become the love of his life.

Oh, the irony!
