'A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.'

Sirius Black was a tall boy. This meant he could easily see over the top of the heads of the younger years at his school, Hogwarts. This was a school for witches and wizards. Sirius was indeed a wizard. He stood at just over 6 foot in his second to last year. He had long black hair that fell down to his shoulders, but was usually pulled back into a sleek ponytail. His heart shaped face was defined with aristocratic cheekbones and shining silver eyes. He wore a playful smirk almost permanently which toyed with the hearts of nearly all of the girls and many of the boys in the halls of Hogwarts. Even If he did say so himself, he was hot. Oh yes, and he was a vampire. But no one really knew of that fact.

He was a Slytherin through and through and also arch enemies with the Gryffindor Golden Boy, James Potter. Potter was shorter than Sirius and had messy black hair and brown eyes hidden behind hideous wire glasses. His face turned an ugly shade of red when he was beaten at something by Sirius which was hilarious.

Currently Sirius Black was bored. Unbelievably bored. His parents had dragged him, begrudgingly, to another ministry function. He was that bored in fact, that he was contemplating how long it would take before his mother dragged him out by his ear and screamed that she was bringing him to no more functions. She had done that before. Sirius had thought she meant it. He was ecstatic. But apparently not. Regulus was otherwise indisposed so it fell to him, being the other heir, to accompany his parents. Why they sucked up to the ministry was beyond him. They didn't like them anyway.

His mind was brought back by the simpering of his mother. He sighed and rolled his eyes. Everywhere he looked, he could see idiots. He took a look around the room. Pompous git, pompous gits family. Gold digging bitch, gold digging bitch's family, brown nosing peasant, brown nosing peasant's family, potter, potters family. He sighed again and decided a walk may do him good. He slowly left his mother's side and wandered outside. The air was crisp but not unpleasantly so. The garden to the ministry function building was all lit up with what looked like tiny little lights that, if one looked close enough, you could tell they were actually fairies. Sirius stopped and took in the beauty of it for a few moments before continuing on to his favourite stone bench, the one he sat on every time his mother dragged him here.

He was just reaching his bench when he saw another person sitting on it. That was his bench! Who was this urchin on his bench? His fangs came out quickly and his vampire was angry. He stomped over to it ready to confront this boy, when said boy turned around. Sirius' eyes nearly popped out of his head. This boy was attractive, with a sweet heart shaped face and rosebud lips. He had the deepest brown eyes you could get lost in, with mid length wavy brown hair that hung around his cheekbones. He smiled up at Sirius and he smiled back softly, against his own will. The boy was dressed in soft red robes that complimented Sirius' stiff emerald robes nicely. Sirius longed to taste the boy's blood. It would be delicious. The mysterious boy patted the bench next to him and Sirius' legs worked on their own accord and he sat down next to him.

'Are you as bored as I am?' the boy giggled and Sirius nodded at him.

'I'm Remus by the way,' he said as he stuck his hand out to Sirius. Sirius took it and replied, 'My name is Sirius.'

'Oh like the constellation?' Remus asked excitedly. Sirius was stumped, no one else picked up that correlation. He nodded dumbly at Remus, who smiled sweetly at him. This smile made his mouth water and he had to stop himself from baring his fangs.

They sat in silence for a while, neither boy needing to break the silence.

'Do you go to Hogwarts?' Sirius suddenly asked, he needed to see this boy again.

'Yes, just transferred there.' Remus blushed lightly.

'Oh good' Sirius smiled. Then the formidable shadow of his father crossed over him and a gruff voice said,

'We are leaving. Lets go.'

Sirius sighed and smiled at Remus. The boy smiled and waved as Sirius followed his father back into the building. Remus was all Sirius could think about as they apparated back to Grimauld Place and Sirius vacated to his sparse bedroom.
