This is my first try at a Bella/Sirius fic...
And while it isn't really AU, I did mess with Bellatrix's age. She's now the youngest Black by five years, thus being Sirius's age.
Enjoy :)
Sirius made sure that both his parents were engaged in conversation before he slipped up the stairs and to his room.
To his surprise and mild horror, he was not the only one who'd had that idea.
Instead of the peace and quiet he'd been hoping for, he found his cousin sitting on his desk, going thru pictures of his friends.
She looked up as he walked in, greeting him with a warm smile."Blood traitor!"
"Heartless bitch,"he replied with a cheeky grin, inclining his head.
His relationship with his cousin had always been close and the fact that him being in Gryffindor had made them deeply loathe eachother was something they both considered to be a minor detail. They could not help loving eachother – if you grew up in the Black family, you grabbed all the allies you could get and never let go.
"So, what are you doing here?"questioned Sirius, to which Bella smirked."Same as you. Hiding."
He returned her smirk arrogantly."Oh? Had enough of the pompous gits you are friends with?"
"Mother kept pushing me into men she and father declared respectable and a fine match. I got so annoyed I drank far too much,"Bellatrix replied honestly. Her cousin eyed her suspiciously."You don't seem drunk to me."
"You mean I don't sound drunk. But I can hardly stand straight, let alone walk,"she clarified."Especially not in these shoes."
She kicked off her five-inch court shoes with an exasperated groan."I hateNew Year's Eve!"
"Last year you loved it,"mocked Sirius. She shot him a glare."That was before my ruddy parents decided I was old enough to be engaged and therefore flaunted around like a jewel."
Sirius nodded understandingly and then changed the subject."So, why are you here, of all places?"
"Because I know nobody would think I'd be caught dead in this dump you call a room,"Bellatrix drawled, smirking at him. She got up, swaying slightly."So, looks like we'll be starting the new year together, huh?"
"Guess so,"he responded as a countdown could be heard from downstairs.
And then, before he even realised what was happening, her arms were around his neck and her lips on his.
