Chapter One- Memories

i She looked into Sirius' eyes and smiled. They were beautiful The deepest gaze that she had ever seen. She saw her own green eyes shinning back at her in his eyes. She slowly put a hand on his neck. At the same time he move a hand down her back. She looked up at him again and slowly moved her lips towards his. /i

"Ria!"

She put down her quill and parchment as she heard her friend calling her.

"Yes?" she asked as Lily approached her.

"I just heard something. It's about James." she paused looking at the parchment "What's that?"

"Nothing" Ria covered it up quickly. She hadn't even told Lily about her obsession "Go on"

"Okay ... Well, anyway, Remus told me that James was thinking of asking me to go to the next Hogsmeade Visit with him. Isn't that great?"

Ria nodded. i Oh, if only Sirius would do the same for me. I would be so happy. I bet he doesn't even know I exists. /i She thought then sighed.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked her with a confused look. Normally her friend would have been excited for her.

"Nothing, just thinking. Well, I'm going up to bed. Goodnight Lily." she said getting up.

"Goodnight"

Ria walked towards the stairs to go to her dormitory and was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even realize where she was going. She bumped into someone and went flying back, her parchment and quills went flying through the air and landed right in the middle of the two who had crashed. She went to gather them up and see who she had run into.

"I am so sor ..." she stopped when she saw who it was.

"Here, let me help you with that." said Sirius Black helping her up and bending down for the parchment.

i Please don't read it /i She thought as he picked it up. He didn't. Instead he handed it straight to her. She came back to her senses.

"I am so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. I was lost in my tho ..." she started but he cut her off.

"It's okay. I understand. I was doing the same thing. By the way" he said holding his hand out to her " I'm Sirius Black."

She shook it.

"I'm ..." she started.

"Naria Dines. I know all about you. No need to introduce yourself."

i He knows all about me? I thought he didn't even know I existed. I think I might faint. /i

"How do you know all about me?" she asked. They had never said more than two words to each other. He shrugged.

"Hey, do you want to take a walk with me?" he asked.

She nodded and walked out of the Common Room with him, Lily staring at her as she left. They walked in silence for what seemed like forever. It was nearly Midnight, but neither of them seemed to care. Both of them had good grades but both of them were known for getting into trouble. She looked up at him and smiled inside. i I'm walking with Sirius Black. How can this be? I must be dreaming /i She pinched herself. i Owe, that hurt. I guess I'm not dreaming. Is this a joke then? /i

"Why ...?" she started but stopped because he had started to say something at the exact same time.

"Naria?" she flinched hearing her true name "Do you like me?"

"What ...?" she hadn't been ready for this "Why do you ask?" she asked, her voice rather squeaky.

"Nothing, never mind, no reason." he seemed nervous about something "It's getting late. We should return to the Common Room."

He turned to go, but before she knew what she was doing she had grabbed onto his arm. He turned to look at her with a surprised look on his face.

"What are you doing?"

"What were you going to say. I know you were about to say something, what was it?" she asked pulling her hand away.

"Will ... will... will you go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" he managed to choke out. Her face went from upset, to confused, to beaming.

"Yes, I'll go with you." she paused "Why didn't you just ask me? I thought you were never nervous."

"I am around you. I've liked you since our Fourth Year. I've been too stupid to ask you out before now."

"I've liked you since our Fourth Year too. I was too scared to tell you. Just think, we've wasted two years fancying each other when we could have been dating." she said smiling.

He nodded and leaned in to kiss her. She leaned in, too. Their lips met and she felt passion and love for the man that was with her. hr /hr Ria woke up suddenly with sweat on her face. i Not that damn dream again. Why do I keep having it? It's been nearly a year since that happened. /i She sighed as she got out of bed and got dressed. It was still dark out. She felt pain and anger rush through her as she remembered what had happened last year when she was in her Sixth year at Hogwarts. She pushed the thought out of her mind for the millionth time since it had happened. She had promised herself that she would forget about that.
