A/N: I would just like the thank my beta, Lauren, who was very speedy getting work back to me and helped me out of a writers block. Also to two of my friends Erin and Vince who gave me the inspiration to keep writing as they were so excited to get to find out what happened next. Also thanks to Erin for helping me with the title, ask her for her story, "The story behind the title", in two parts.
Two boys darted quickly towards the mouldering old ruin, only to be called back by their mother.
"Boys! Get back here! Can't you read the sign? It says 'DANGER, DO NOT ENTER'. It's unsafe. Get down here immediately!" she yelled focusing all her attention on her two boys, making sure they made is safely to her side. She did not even spare a second glance at the 'old ruins'.
Yet if she had spared the time for that second glace, she would have noticed something much greater, a magnificent castle, which has been called, by some, the most magical place in all of Britain, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A huge, rambling, quite scary-looking castle, with a jumble of towers and battlements, towering over extensive grounds, closed in by an exceptional entrance gate and flanked by statues of winged boars.
A sight that would of stayed with her for the rest of her life, if she had taken that second glance. Yet alas even if she had wanted to, due to many enchantments and spells, the young mother suddenly remembered that she had to be somewhere else, as the boys were scrambling back down to her, she did not have time for a second glace.
When you first look at something, you don't really take any real details in. Yet often people don't go back for a second glance, as a first glance can be all someone thinks they need to judge for themselves, all they think they will ever need to know about a person or thing. Yet if you take the time to have a second glance you will discover so much more. It is in the second glance where a friendship blossoms and a crush is formed. A second glance also gives way to falling in love with someone.
It is only from a second glace that a tall dark haired boy gave to a skinny little girl, with deep red hair and sparkling emerald eyes that this story can be told. If that second glance was never taken, there would be nothing to tell. But as it is, Sirius Black took the time, to glance back over his shoulder again and his eyes connected for the first time with the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. It was in that moment that Sirius Black fell in love with Lily Evans. He just didn't know it yet.
A/N: Well what did you think? Please if you like it, or even disliked it leave a review, I would love to know what your thinking. Chapter One - Fallen should be up soon.
