A/N: Hello! I've written a one-shot about my Sirius/OC fic. Which, erm, I haven't updated in a while...


"Excuse me?" came a horrified question from Gail. This was directed towards Sirius, who was sitting quite contentedly in the armchair closest to the fire. Gail had been sitting in the armchair across from him, except she had jumped up in an indignant rage.

"You heard me, you fancy me," came Sirius' retort. He was grinning (very cockily), and glanced towards the fireplace for a second, before returning his gaze to Gail.

"I-" Gail puffed a few strands of hair that had gotten into her face when she had jumped up, "do not fancy...what the, what does that even mean?" She looked puzzled for a moment, and then chuckled before sitting back down on the armchair. "Fancy. Ha! I've only read that word in Harry Potter fanfictions, that's hilarious. I never thought I would actually hear it from someone, a Harry Potter character at that!"

Sirius was looking decidedly confused at what Gail was going on about. He was used to Gail talking about this "Harry Potter" bloke, and he was used to Gail and Bianca going into fits about the littlest detail (that raving over the quill that Professor Flitwick had lent them...) of Hogwarts life, but never had he heard of the word "fanfiction". Besides, was she really going on about the usage of a word, when Sirius was trying to worm information about who she fancied from her?

Having had enough of Gail's muttering, Sirius started back up. "So...you do, right? You do, you know, fancy me?"

"Nope. I don't fancy you," came the calm reply.

"Oh."

"Yup, oh indeed. Wanna play chess with me? I want to try out this new set I got from the Christmas dinner yesterday," Gail asked, nonchalantly trying to steer their conversation to other topics. Fortunately for her, Sirius had a fairly short attention span, and so they pulled out their chess pieces to start playing. Gail's last thought before fully paying attention to Sirius' knight slaughtering her pawns was: Well...I don't fancy you, but I certainly do like-like you...


A/N: Hehe, truly am sorry about not updating for a couple months, but I've written a nice and lengthy chapter 4, and my dear friend, xiy, is going to edit...ahm, soon. So look for an update within the, erm, month? :)
