Only a Friend
A/N: Well this is inspired by Taylor Swift's song Invisible. This story just came to me while I was listening on my phone. Please be reminded that this is a muggle fic and they are currently in their high school years. Hope you all like it...
Disclaimer: Anyone you recognize is by JKR's though I am a proud owner of Heiress Peverell.
I gave a small smile as I saw him sitting with his best mates laughing about something. His gorgeous lustrous black hair framing his handsome face. His striking grey eyes glinting with mischief. He is the perfect man to showcase the words tall, dark, and handsome. Sigh! He goes by many names, the handsome one, the gorgeous one, a marauder, manwhore(sadly it's kinda true), the misplaced, black sheep, dog (insert snicker), padfoot (only the other marauders call him this), yes ladies and gents I'm talking about no one else but the one and only Sirius Orion Black.
Now a lot of you may ask why I'm looking at him (not ogling) well it's because he also answers to two names only a few people know about; my best friend and Scoob. Yes for the people who read this you have not read wrong Sirius Orion Black is my best friend. You wanna all know how it happened? Well Sirius and I have have known each other since we wore diapers because of our parents. What I'm trying to say is that our family has always been a little bit on the top of the society ladder. You see the Peverells and the Blacks have been living for a long time along with the Potters and the Malfoys and the Lestranges and the all the others. (A/n: See I kinda made the purebloods noble, they're related to the crown so in that way we could still keep the pureblood-mudblood nonsense) We're what some people say came from old money which I think is a whole bunch of nonsense since we're already on the time cellphones, cars, and computers exist. But my mum and dad and all the other "nobles" think it's wonderful to be related to the crown well except for a few who doesn't.
Anyways, we may have met each other since diapers but we both only became best friends when we were two years old. You see Sirius was helping muggle kid. Muggles are people who are poor and have no connection whatsoever to the crown. The other pureblood (people who have connection to the crown) kids were ridiculing Sirius for helping and they were beating him up and I stopped it then we both helped the other kid together. Ever since then we were best friends.
Now here we are back to the present and I'm looking at him again. Things are a bit complicated here at school since no one not even the other marauders know we're best friends. You see when we reached first grade Sirius have already made three new friends whose names are James Potter a pureblood, Remus Lupin a half-blood (his dad was a muggle), and Peter Pettigrew a pureblood hence the marauders were born. All four bestowed with good looks—what am I kidding they're gorgeous! And are intelligent. Because of this girls fawn over them and it's kind of funny in my own little way.
It wasn't that Sirius was ashamed of me befriending new people it was all my fault. I'm a social outcast. That's right I Heiress Fallae Peverell am a social outcast. I was never good at making friends and I'm a little shy. I wear pretty large glasses and I also wear braces. I mean my hair is kinda nice but my eyes are abnormal. I mean instead of having sky blue eyes like my mom and brother or grassy green like dad's, I have kaleidoscopic ones meaning they change color evertime the sun hits it on a different angle. That's why I wear glasses, they sorta filter the colors only showing electric blue eyes. I made the business of my eyes a secret and only my family know about it not even Sirius knows. I also wear overlarge clothes and baggy pants. So whenever you approach one of my classmates and ask "do you know where Heiress Peverell is?" They are sure to reply "I think you're mistaken, we don't have a classmate named Hairy whats-her-face heck I don't think anyone comes to school with that name."
See what I mean? If people see one of the richest, gorgeous, intelligent people friends with someone like me their image is ruined. I don't want people saying bad stuff about my only friend especially after everything that has happened to him. He might not look like it but Sirius have tons of problems. The most obvious one his relationship with his family.
So there I was again looking at him a small smile settling on my face at the sight of him. Sigh!

"Hey Specs," said a voice from behind me, I smiled. I turned around to meet the figure of the one and only Sirius Black. Classes have already ended a while ago and I have opted to stay under the shade of a tree beside the Black Lake (yes we have a lake in our school). It's a favorite place of mine to study only if no one else was occupying it.
"What's up Scoob?"
"Oh nothing I just want to spend time with my favourite best friend."
"I thought that was James."
"Erm my favorite girl?"
"Wouldn't that be Hestia Jones?" I said mentioning one of his most early "girls" the clingiest one too.
He gave an involuntary shiver. "Please don't remind me, I mean the girl's hot and all but she's a bit too clingy for my liking."
I gave him a small smile. He plopped down beside me and I rested my head on his shoulders. We watched the lake for a while before he broke the silence. God I swear that boy can't keep quiet even for just a minute.
"You know Specs I don't think we've been hanging out enough already I mean your always busy with schoolwork or contests or your little experiments (see the Peverell family are known for being studious we're basically scientists) and I'm hanging out with the others, can't you well hang out with us?"
I looked at him sadly and said "Scoob you know what I am being with other people. For my experiments and whatnot you know I only do it because that's what my family wanted as for hanging out with each other I'm free later and we could climb the trees again like we used to... " I was referring to the number of trees at our backyard.
He gave a small smile at my suggestion and nodded. We waited for a few more minutes before I made my way for home.

"DUCKY! Come back here you spoiled little brat!" I screamed at my brother Kingston Francois Peverell aka ducky or at least that's his nickname but when I'm done with him he'll be called chopped roasted duck. Wanna know what's going on? Well I was changing after enjoying a very wonderful bath when my brother (insert growl) decided it was a good idea to kidnap my poor clothes leaving
me in my bra and way way small shorts. I was screaming so loud, big loud explosions were heard in my mum's study (probably due to her experiments), dad's study was also blaring, and my brother's taunts were practically shouts. Due to these earsplitting sounds I did not hear the roaring of a motorcycle and the creak of our door opening.
"Ducky you bratty little brother give me back my clothes! DUCKY! I'll pound you into little pieces, i'll add you to the recipe of one of my experiments! I swore. He stuck his tongue at me and ran towards the front door. "Ducky!" I ran after him and that's when I saw Sirius guffawing at us. He looked at me a bit shocked.
"What are you waiting for? Grab him grab that demonic little brat!" I practically screamed at him. He looked at me again for one second before proceeding to obey my orders. In the end we caught the little prick.
I was huffing and wiping the sweat of my body when... "You know, if that's the sight that's going to meet me everytime I visit, I might just pop in a lot more," he smirked.
I gave him a what-are-you-talking-about look. One of his eyebrows were raised up while looking at me more specifically my body and that's when I realized I was only wearing my undergarments.
A/n: So this is it the first chapter again I hope you would all like this and please it's alright if you criticize because in that way i'll be a much better writer. So read and review.
