Hello every one! You've stumbled onto my first fanfic and it's a Sirius x OC like many others have done before. I was feeling pretty bored one day and decided to start it. Here's the first chapter and I hope you readers stick around!

10.30 AM.

Hey! Look who's not late this year! This girl!
Let me explain a little bit. It's September 1st, so you know what that means. Yup. First Day of Hogwarts! I had just just run trough the barrier and laid my eyes upon the majestic sight of the Hogwarts Express, billowing steam in all its glory. My adoring the train ended quite abruptly when I heard that familiar screeching.

"Oh hush you! I know you're excited but save it for the others 'kay? You'll be let out at Hogwarts, I promise! OH SHUT UP!"

I tried to calm down my owl, who did not enjoy being locked up in its cage very much. Let me introduce Salty, my owl. He's black all over, but is adorably splattered with a few white flecks which is where he earned his name from. A bit obstreperous (noisy and difficult to handle for those of you who don't know what that means) but my lovable friend nonetheless. As I was taming my unruly bird a flash of red flooded my eyes.

"SAPHIRA! It's.. been so ...long! It feels amazing to see see ...you!", my ginger best-friend exclaimed, in huffs.

"Lily, it's only been a week since I've seen you last! And your out of breath? Have you been running away from something?"

Lily usually always tries to keep her poise, but at certain times, the girl just loses it. Oh by the way, this is Lily Evans. Hogwarts Role Model and best friend extraordinaire! She has these beautiful almond green eyes that are mesmerizing, and have I mentioned her flaming mane? That red hair has her temper to match so I'd caution you to not be on the receiving end of her temper. She knows some pretty good jinxes too.

Lily gulped some air before responding, "Saph the git can never leave me alone! One minute! One minute... is all I had before I saw him. Why?Why me?" Lily put her head on my shoulder feigning sadness. Oh Lily Pie...such a drama queen.

"Lily, he just wants to say hi, and as annoying as James can be he has good meaning right? Give him a chance!" I looked around to find that black haired mess. Weird. I don't see him.

"I did give him a hello, but he tried to give me a hug, and I wouldn't have it!" I let go of her surprised by her outburst, and laughed. Ain't she the darnest? Poor James has been pining after her since day one. You'd think that kid would leave him alone already. Eh, well, my entertainment I suppose.

"GIVE ME A HUG DEAREST SAPHIRA IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG!" Oh there he is! I heard Lily mutter a soft "Dear Merlin.. hey is that bet from last year still on-" I quickly cut her off. No one can remember that.

"JAMIE!" I turned around and was immediately engulfed in one of his huge bear hugs. I loved that hug, until I felt him messing up my hair.

"Don't call me Jamie in public Saph, you make me sound like a freaking baby." He said with a smile, with his arms still around me.

"Fine. James let go of me, you're messing up my hair! And I just saw you yesterday!" I said before pushing him away from me. Hey where are the others?

"I know, but everyone's doing all this mushy stuff, and I didn't want to be left out. I need the love you know. Lily-Flower here refuses to give it to me..." James said nudging her a bit and twirling her hair.

"Don't call me that Potter and don't touch my hair. Hey Saphira you know you lost that bet-" She said calmly this time, taking a step away from him. There's that poise. Ooops have to cut that chick off again. FORGET THE BET WOMAN.

"So where's Remus?" I interrupted, scanning the station.

"Yeah where is Moony? He should've been the first one here..." James said.

"Someone mention a Moony? The sandy haired bloke entered our growing circle with his famous smile.

"Moonykins!" Of course James just had to tackle hug the next person he saw. This is Remus John Lupin. The most sweetest bloke you'll ever meet. He is supersmart, and very chivalrous, and probably the only one in that nonsense group who has a sensible mind. He has quite a few scars on him but despite that factor, he could be some decent eye candy, if I wasn't such good friends with the kid. Basically, I could trust him with everything.

"Okay Prongs, off. Saphira how are you doing? Keeping James in place? By the way about the bet-" I returned his embrace and replied as he gave Lily a quick hug as well, with a fuming James in the background.

" Shut it Remus, let's forget about the bet." I said softly to him. "Doing my best Remus, but not everyone can be tamed! Hello Peter!" I saw the pudgy kid wave a hand. That was Peter Pettigrew. He belonged to the infamous Marauder Group, but anyone can see, the poor kid's slacking. He may not be as handsome as the others, but he's more 'baby cute' than actual cute. But he's still our friend.

"Hey man, Where's Padfoot, I believe Saphira over here has a little owning up to do heheheheheee " James snickered poking me, while my eyes went deer in a headlight mode. Uh oh. Time to go. They all still remember.

"Okay I'm gonna get on the train, you know get a compartment and everything..yeah." I grabbed Lily's resisting hand and I was just about to leave before I heard that husky voice that sent tingles up my spine every time. Well, shit.

He chuckled a bit. "Running away so soon love? Didn't even have the courtesy to say a hello? Surely they taught you that in your pureblood etiquette classes?" I'm pretty sure you all know who this bloody bloke is. Did I have to reply? I'm pretty good at running away, I'm not in Gryffindor for a reason you know. Eh well, screw expectations.

I calmly turned around and put on a fake smile. " Hello Sirius. How are you? Fine weather today isn't it? How's the family, everyone alright?" I had these lines rehearsed for ages. Any pureblood would. It's imperative for survival.

"Very good! Now seriously, you wouldn't want to pass up a wonderful hug, would you? He was walking, no striding closer with this devilishly handsome NO arrogant smirk on his face. Instead of being mad at him, like I usually am. All I could notice was how much he grew over summer. He was definitely taller, and was that a tan? Woww! Get it together! Oh my god, no one can ignore those muscles! Okay I need to get out of here! Shit, he's so close.

"How could I ever? After all you are the most handsome male Hogwarts has ever set eyes upon. It would be my honor." I said stiffly. You see on the last day of school, we were all playing muggle poker. Only me and Sirius were still in. I was so sure that I was going to win, but the cocky bastard egged me on and told me differently. To make the situation more interesting, I agreed to his bet that whoever won would be the other's slave for the first week of school for fifth year. I loved the idea of Sirius at my every beck and call, but I had lost. I NEVER LOSE AT POKER. Sniff. But I had. Damn bets. Do I have to honor it?

I quickly gave him a hug, but the idiot held on. "Okay, I gave you your hug, now let go." I tried pushing myself away, but he had those strong arms wrapped right around the small of my back. He looked those steel grey eyes right into my bright blue ones. I found myself checking him out again. I have no self control.

"Aww look who's checking me out again! Saphira honestly, just admit your eternal love for me and we can both be happy! You know you want me.." he said playfully. Honestly this kid has to ruin every thing. I'll admit. He was sexy as fuck. But not with that egoistic attitude. Nope.

"Sirius let go of me, you're wrinkling my dress! James already ruined my hair!" I complained struggling to get out of his strong grip. I heard the train whistle blow. We had 10 minutes left.

"Actually love, I do recall you being my slave, not the other way around. Soooo..." I looked at him with a puppy dog face. It's always worked before. I looked at Lily with a save me? glance. She nodded. I love her.

"Come on Black let her go, we still have to get on the train. No more time to fool around." Lily said, making her way towards the train, with the others close behind her.

"Okay Lilykins, I'll think of ways that I can use her for my pleasure later " Sirius said. What the fuck? Excuse my language, I only swear in my head.

"Use me? You sound like a bloody sexual predator or something! Oh wait, I forgot silly me, you are pretty renowned in that area aren't you?" I escaped Sirius's grasp and made my way after Lily on the train.

"You know it! And not today love as much as you would love to, but I'll take a rain check!" Sirius exclaimed in the distance. The Bastard. I ignored him and got on the train with Lily.

"I can't stand him Lily! Why me?" I whined, still following her.

"Believe me Saphira I ask myself that every time but you always say 'Just give him a chance Lily, he has good intentions. myeh myeh myehh" The bitch was mocking me. "Hey James does have good intentions! Black clearly does not!"

We entered our usual compartment, and slid the door shut. I took my usual seat by the window and huffed at the few bits of hair now in my face. Now for seven hours in a train! I usually loved this part, but I'm not as ecstatic anymore.

"Oh Saphira lighten up a bit. He's just egging you on as usual, don't get too stressed out about it. Come on! We're prefects this year! We have authority! This is our year! And even though we have OWLS to study for, we'll make it a good one. Okay?" Lily was the best friend anyone could ever ask for. She always made me feel better. Did I ever mention that I love her?

"You're right Lily. No matter what those pigs do, they can't stop us from having another great year right?" I straightened myself up with a more determined look on my face.

"Right!" She laughed. I sighed and slouched back gazing out the window. Oh!

In all the commotion going on, I forgot to mention even a word about myself! My name is Saphira Rosalie Cayton, and yes I'm a pureblood as the git mentioned before. I'm not in Gryffindor, but I'm proud to say I'm a Ravenclaw. Even though Lily and I are in different houses, we're still good friends. I have bright blue eyes, which are my namesake, and I stand at 5'4 and 3/4. I'm determined to reach 5'5 and I shall. I have a pale face which is almost always clear ( i wash my face 3 times a day. I like being clean and acne stays out). I have near straight dark brown hair that falls past my shoulders, and I have left sideswept bangs that fall into my face sometimes. You'll figure out more about me along the way, but here's the basic stuff.

So join me on my Fifth year at Hogwarts with my rambunctious friends. There'll be ups and downs, but we'll make it through like we always do. Life's never boring with me anyway ;)

Love it? Hate it? Leave a Review and say why! I'll take criticism, and suggestions. Spot an error? Point it out! I'm doing this out of pure boredom, and my goal is a good vocab word each chapter. This one had obstreperous which means noisy and difficult to handle. Thanks for Reading! I'll probably make future chapters shorter too!
