Authors Note: It's incredibly short, I know. But this is just the beginning-the chapters will lengthen. It's quite a strange plot, so please R&R. I'll be glad to know what you think, I don't have a beta. But no flames please!
Rani's POV
The hairs on the back of my neck are standing up. It sounds kind of unpleasant, I know, but it's not. It is a little strange, though, because Sirius Black is staring at me. His gaze persists, so I turn around to look back at him. This was a little stupid of me-our eyes end up locking, his dark brown and mine a vivid dark green. I feel my cheeks flush as he grins. Mercifully, I don't go beetroot red like Lily often does, but Barbie pink isn't that good a look either. I quickly turn away, sinking into my chair and leaning over my potions book, praying he'll look away. He does, but for the wrong reason. That reason is perfect-bright, funny, clever and excellent at Quidditch, even though she only arrived at Hogwarts last term (she used to go to a muggle school because she was creeped out by wands. Frankly, I think anybody who's scared of a wand shouldn't even be at Hogwarts.)
Anyway, she goes by the name of Maria Syllic, but I just call her Auburn Barbie, which suits her. The only thing she doesn't have in common with a Barbie doll is her looks and the fact that you don't have to buy her friends. It's unfair that she's so perfect, pretty and small. I'm tall, and anything but.
So yeah, we're in Potions Class and this is why my so-called boyfriend who I've only been dating for two months isn't even bothering to look at me. Yes, I broke his gaze, but not so he could look at her instead! He's currently levitating a jar of pickled toads off a shelf, and with a casual flick of a wand it's soaring towards Severus Snape., or at least in his direction. Maria is giggling happily as if Sirius just told her an excellent joke, and Snape is still immersed in his potion, unaware of the doom which awaits him. I'm pretty sure you can guess what happened next. The result?
One broken jar, one wet Snape, one angry professor and one ecstatic couple kissing in the corner of the Dungeon.
Maria and Sirius.
