Prologue
It had been fourteen years and not a day went by that Sirius Black didn't miss Marlene McKinnon. He missed the touch of her lips on his; he missed how her golden, blonde hair bounced around her shoulders and how he could spend hours staring at it glowing in the sunlight. He missed her bubbly personality and her reckless ideas which often resulted in them turning up at Lily and James' house drunk or having just escaped being caught by the muggle police, but most of all he missed her beautiful blue eyes, the ones he could get lost in for hours on end. They were the deepest blue he had ever seen. They were perfect for each other people would say, it had all been a perfect fairytale which turned into a nightmare...
As he sat against the old, peeling wall in his mother's room feeding Buckbeak while the Order were out on various missions and Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys were at Hogwarts, she drifted into his mind for what felt like the hundredth time that day...
I've decided to write a story about Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon although it will also include bits about the other marauders, Lily and her friends and a few other Slytherins. The whole story will be from Sirius' point of view. I hope you like it!
