All righty then! Since my stories magically disappeared…thanks Muse Boi…I have decided to repost Sirius Girl and Siriusly together. They will be blended all nicely until there is just one story. For those of you who have never read these stories before, no worries. You won't be able to tell the difference. For those of you who have…sit back and enjoy an updated and slightly changed plot.

Now…I love all the characters, pairings and plot lines of Harry Potter. But during my daydreams about a certain Mr. Black, I have always wanted someone that he cares for romantically in a storyline. Again, I LOVE the pairings already present in the books so I don't want Lily, Tonks or shudder Bellatrix involved with Sirius. And although I have nothing personal against slash, I can't visualize Remus and Sirius for extended periods of time or I start to hit my head against a wall. SO I want to keep the chapters to come as canon (based both in book and movie land) as possible, with the exception of Elizabeth…our new character.

Some enchanted evening

You may see a stranger

Across a crowded room

And somehow you know

You know even then

That somehow you'll see her again and again.

Chapter 1: Enchanted.

"Yea! A new year." Sirius rolled his eyes at Peter's enthusiasm for the new school year and looked out the window as the train sped along.

"Really Wormtail. What's so great?" James pushed Peter slightly as he spoke. "Now next year…that will be the year to party!"

They were only just beginning the school year, yet it already seemed so tiresome. There had been so much change over the summer. Sirius had left home, left the clutches of his family once and for all. His mothers shrieking still echoed in his ears at times. His brothers pleading look, almost sad enough to drown out his mothers ranting. Yet he left and went to the Potter household, where they had welcomed him in with open arms. He had always felt more warmth from the Potters than he had received in a lifetime in his own home. All of it rolled into a summer break that made another year at Hogwarts seem inconsequential...and yet there was something else that bothered Sirius. Something he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Sure…but no OWLS this year!" Peter kept trying to convince James that he should be more enthused.

"Yea, no OWLS because they are prepping us for the next round of exams! Two years of studying…" James mocked horror at the thought of more tests, kicking at Sirius from across the small train cabin.

"Like you won't pass the exams with Gryffindor colors." Sirius taunted. "You're the golden boy."

"Thank you Padfoot." James stood, bowing. "Thank you…" chuckling, Sirius looked back out the window, watching the land sweep by. The golden sun warming the fields that waved in the wind. The random sheep herd, the fluff of a white cloud overhead. All that freedom lay outside the window. Suddenly feeling cramped in the small space, Sirius stood.

"Think I'll catch the trolley before all the good snacks are gone. Want anything?" Sirius stretched as James looked at him curiously.

"You ok mate?"

"Fine, just hungry. Want anything?" Sirius became twitchy waiting to leave.

"Besides Lily Evans of course." Peter said beneath his breath. James glared at him for a moment before returning his attention to Sirius.

"You're going to look at the girls aren't you?" James teased.

"Yea, that and hunger pains…want something or not?" He barely heard James' list before he was out the door. Walking quickly down the corridor, Sirius wasn't sure why he had the sudden urge to be free of the compartment. James and he had grown even closer now that they were practically brothers. Yet the closer they had come to the new school year, the jitterier Sirius had become. Every new day had a sense of something coming, something new, something that he had been looking for. Just first day nerves, he thought to himself. But when did he, Sirius Black, get stressed out over the first day of school? And he surely wasn't going looking for girls as Prongs had teased. There never were any that could keep his interest for long.

While crossing cars he spotted Remus chatting with some other Prefects. Among them was Lily Evans.

James' true love, Sirius snickered.

Sure Lily was pretty, possibly the nicest face in Gryffindor, but she wasn't Sirius' type.

Not that he had a type, Remus would have said.

He was always being ribbed for dating any bird that crossed his path, but in reality, none ever warranted a second date, or a second glance for that matter.

Coughing gently as he walked past Lupin, he pushed his knee into the other boy's leg, causing him to stumble forward slightly. Remus turned quickly, reprimand in his eyes, until he saw who it was. A sly smile creeping over his face, Lupin shoved his friend back.

"Watch it Black! I can send you to Filtch when we get to Hogwarts." Sirius smiled and continued to walk on, shouting his response over his shoulder.

"Go ahead Lupin! I certainly have a lot to tell him about you!" looking back long enough to wiggle his eyebrows at Remus, Sirius moved on until he spotted the food trolley. Even though he was in a hurry to find the cart, now nothing much appealed to him. Sighing at his own odd behavior, he purchased a few things, gathered a pile for James and headed back the way he came.

"So what was that for?" Remus asked as he passed again, falling in step with his friend. Sirius handed him a licorice snap and chuckled.

"Nothing in particular. Where do you think you are going anyway? Going to slum it for awhile with us regular students?"

"Those other prefects are a bunch of suck-ups." Sirius chuckled and nodded understanding with mock sympathy to Remus. "THEY ARE! It's hard to listen to a few, they whine so much."

"Evans fall into that category?" Sirius knew that Remus fancied the girl, a lot of boys did. But Remus would never make any advancement. Anyone who was a friend of James knew that she was off limits, Lily was his pursuit.

"No. She is the only one I can talk to in that group."

"Cheer up Moony. Maybe we will find you a girl you can actually ask out this year!" Remus socked Sirius in the arm and laughed darkly.

"Yea, right. Like I want more of your hand-me-downs."

They finally reached the compartment, joining James and Peter. As soon as Sirius sat down by the window again his stomach did a slight flip. Jitters, he said to himself quietly. Yea right.

--- --- ---

"We're going to be late!!" James laughed, running ahead of his three friends. They had all stayed up a bit too late during their first night at Hogwarts, then slept in a little too late that morning. Sirius sprinted forward slightly to match pace with James, smirking sideways at his friend.

"Last one?" James asked loudly as they turned a corner and started up a flight of stairs.

"The bet?" Sirius asked in return.

"Winner's choice!" James laughed, moving into the lead. Sirius wouldn't be beat though. Winner's choice could involve all sorts of unpleasant situations. He would much rather watch James twist a bit than be the loser. Smiling, sucking air into his lungs quickly, Sirius made a mad final dash as they entered the room, beating James by a fraction of an inch.

"HA! Yea! Take that, almighty chaser!" Sirius gulped in air as a few students clapped, others rolling their eyes at the antics. James scowled at him and moved to some of the open seats toward the back of the class. Sirius watched as Remus came into the class, even more winded than he had been moments ago.

"We…made…it?" Remus asked. Sirius nodded, clapping Remus on the shoulder and started to move towards James. Looking around the class, his stomach felt woozy, as it had on the train the day before. Trying to ignore the feelings that were causing him to want to sprint away faster than he had arrived, Sirius smirked and nodded to a few of the giggling girls in the far corner of the room.

Dropping his books on the desk, his eyes caught the face of someone he didn't know. A girl, wearing Gryffindor colors, was sitting stiffly a row away from him. His heart sped slightly as he looked over her form, hands folded on her desk, hair long and dark brown, her ankles crossed delicately under her seat. Shaking his head slightly, steadying his breathing, Sirius moved to sit down, trying to convince himself that it was the sprint to class that left him all worked up and not the new bird in class.

"Sirius! Come on! Sit down…" Remus was hissing at him. Sirius felt a slight tug at his robes and sat down, trying to regain his cool. Girls didn't do that to him! He was the one who was supposed to turn them upside down!

Leaning back in his chair, Sirius lifted his feet onto the table and tried to calm himself, focusing on anything but the new girl in the class. But she made that impossible by standing up when her name was called. Elizabeth Montgomery.

Why the heck did she stand? he thought as he snickered along with the rest of his friends, maintaining his casual demeanor.

As the class droned on, Sirius tried to listen, tried to focus elsewhere. But just as he thought he was succeeding, she stood again, answering a question that the professor had asked. Peter snickered again at her odd behavior and Sirius had the sudden urge to turn around and shut him up. But before he could take his eyes off of her, she was looking over toward him.

Damn it Peter, she thinks it was me laughing… But with her attention on him, Sirius did the first thing he could think of, something that came so naturally to him when he was looking at any girl. He winked and smiled brightly. Yet it had no effect on this girl, who rolled her eyes at him and looked away. Dropping his feet from the desk, Sirius grew worried. Had he lost it? Was there something wrong with him?

"Who was the weird girl?" Peter chuckled and it took every ounce of Sirius' self control not to pound on his mate.

"Elizabeth? She's a transfer from Beauxbatons." Remus spoke up. "Gryffindor prefects were told about her last night."

"She wasn't at the sorting ceremony…" James questioned as the four of them started to move into the hall.

"No, she just arrived this morning. Some last minute move business I guess." Remus answered plainly. "Glad to see she's a Gryffindor."

"Yea," James added "She might be a little off, but at least she's a sight for the eyes!" he nudged Remus and Sirius watched as he blushed slightly.

"What do you care when Evans is around?" Sirius asked, trying to sound jokingly, trying to change the subject, but it came out a bit gruffer thank he had intended and seemed mixed with a tinge of jealousy.

"My Lily is the Fairest in the land!!" James answered dramatically, ignoring his friends odd behavior. "I was just thinking that this new prim would make a good match for our Moony."

Sirius' eyes flew to Remus, who was red in the face and staring at the floor as they walked to the next class.

Moony? He thought. No, he can't be her type…

"She seemed bookish enough, I mean standing to answer the questions…" Peter seemed to be enjoying someone else being the odd one for once.

"It's a much more proper atmosphere at Beauxbatons. I'm sure it's expected of her there…" Remus spoke quietly.

"And she knew the answers too, very prim. Perfect for you Moony..." Sirius wanted to clamp his hand over James' mouth. He needed to get a grip. This new girl was nothing special.

"Oh sod off…" Remus grumbled.

Quite right, thought Sirius.
