A/N: Hello. Welcome to Dreadful Affections. This is the first time I'm using so I'm a bit lost : S! but so far so good... :) Well this story will be mostly Sirius/OC and OC/OC. Oh yes... love triangle.

Disclaimer: I only wish I could be as amazing as J.K. Rowling. I only own Grace and a couple more characters. :)

Chapter 1: First Day of Term

I had just walked in the Hogwarts Express. I walked down the compartments as I looked for my friends. I kept looking through the compartments to see if I saw them.

"Grace!"

I turned around to see my best friend, Rose, walking toward me. Her long auburn hair was cut over the summer and fell right to her shoulders. She was much taller than me. I was short, not the shortest… but quite short. It bothered me before but I learned to love it. 'I'm not short. I'm fun-sized.'

"Rose!" I said happily as I hugged my friend. "How you been?"

"Good. I moved. Met some fun people," she said as we continued to walk. "How about you? How was your summer?"

"Great actually. I went to a summer camp. It was so much fun but I'm very glad to be back at Hogwarts," I said when we finally saw our friends.

We walked inside and saw all of our closest friends. Ellie was sitting next to the window. She had long red hair that went perfectly with her skin. She had beautiful dark eyes and always wore black eyeliner.

Next to her was Jake. Jake had dark hair that was slightly long. He had chocolate brown eyes and he was in pretty good shape since he played in the Quidditch team. His girlfriend was right next to him. Her name was Jenna. She was very pixie like with her small figure. Like me she was also short but possibly she was shorter than me.

"Hey guys!" I said brightly.

"Hey, Grace. Hey, Rose," they greeted us.

We sat on the empty seat. I tucked some of my long black hair behind my ear and smiled at them.

"How was everyone's summer?" I said.

"Great."

"Fun."

"Unexplainable," said Ellie dreamily.

"Ah. Summer love?" I said grinning.

"Yes!" she said happily.

"Well, tell me all about him," I said.

"Okay. Well… he is gorgeous. So smart and funny. He's so decent… mom loved him. A muggle of course, but that doesn't matter," she said.

She had what I wanted for a long time- love. I didn't want anyone… I wanted someone that would never break my heart and cared about me. I wanted someone that I could grow old with not someone that will dump me a week later.

I could have had a boyfriend but I always told them no. I wasn't… amazed by anyone. I had never met an amazing guy. All the guys that have ever wanted to go out with me were boring, arrogant, a jerk, or simply a bad person. Maybe I am too picky but I've always told myself that I wasn't going to go around letting guys play with my heart until they break it.

I have liked guys in the past but it was almost always because of their looks. I wanted to love a guy not to look at one. I can look at guys anytime I want. Every nice guy that I had been interested at had something. There was this one guy that I really liked that was making me cut my hair because long hair wasn't his thing. Whatever happened to loving the other one for exactly how they are?

"Oh, Ellie! I'm so happy for you!" I said.

"Umm… hey do you mind if I fit here? Everywhere else is full," said a guy that had just opened our compartment. He seemed like he had been running. Poor him… I once almost missed the train too.

"Oh not at all. Come in," said Rose. He smiled at us and he sat on the empty spot next to me. I couldn't help but notice how gorgeous his eyes were. They were an icy blue and his dark hair fell elegantly on them. He looked at us and smiled.

"Thanks," he said shyly. "I'm Craig."

"Hey, I'm Rose," she said. "This is Ellie… Jake… Jenna… and Grace."

"Nice to meet you all," he said politely.

"Same," everyone said at different times. A few moments passed and everyone started to do their own thing. Jenna and Jake were deep in conversation and Ellie and Rose were talking about some band they both had started listening to during the summer. I looked over at Craig and he was reading a book quietly. I was pretty bored.

"Grace, right?" Craig said.

"Yes."

"You're in what house?" he asked.

"A proud Gryffindor. How about you?" I said smiling.

"Gryffindor too," he grinned and I smiled at him. Why have I never noticed this guy?

"I've got to ask… Are you new?" I asked shyly but I wanted to know.

He chuckled and said, "No. But don't worry… many people don't even know I exist."

I was so embarrassed. I made him think that I thought he was useless or something. I looked up at him and smiled weakly. "Sorry," was all I said.

"Don't be. I'm fine with it. I'm not a popular guy and it doesn't bother me," he said. I still felt like I hurt him even though it was pretty clear that he wasn't. "Grace, people told me you were nice but I didn't know you were that nice," he said grinning as he looked at me as I thought that I had done something terribly wrong. I started to giggle.

"Well you seem pretty nice yourself. If you want to sit with us for dinner you can, alright?" I said.

"That would be nice," he said with a smile. I started to play with my bracelet but somehow it fell of my small wrist and landed on the floor. He leaned down and picked up my charm bracelet. Then he handed it to me.

"Those are a lot of charms," he said with a smile.

"Yeah," I said giggling. "Every charm is important to me."

"So, every charm means something?"

"Yup. Like for example this one," I said as I showed him a small charm with the form of a heel, "Used to be my grandmothers. She passed away about a year ago."

"Oh I'm sorry," he said.

"Don't be. She had a long and eventful life," I said.

"Where you close to her?" he asked softly.

"Very. I admire her a lot," I said. Thinking of my grandmother made me sad but I knew she wanted me to be happy. I looked into his blue eyes that were looking into mine. Why hadn't I ever even spoken to this guy? "She was great. Helpful to everyone. I guess I've grown to be very similar to her. Physically too. I swear I look identical to her when she was my age."

He smiled at me and said, "Well you should show me some day."

"I will," I said and he grinned.

We were all sitting at the Great Hall eating dinner. Craig, Rose, Ellie, Jenna, Jake and I were there. I looked around and saw Lily which smiled at me. I returned her smile and then turned my eyes at Rose that had softly kicked my foot.

"Gracie!" she said happily.

"What happened?" I asked confused.

"Remus is looking even hotter," she said and I chuckled.

"That's… good…," I said. I looked at Craig that smiled at the way Rose was acting.

"I guess she likes him," he said.

"More like obsessed with him," I said.

"Shut up! No I don't!" she said with a smile.

"Fine. Whatever you say," I said as I got up.

"Where you going?" Rose asked.

"Upstairs. I'm already full," I said and she nodded. "Bye, guys."

I walked upstairs as I headed to the Gryffindor common room. BAM. What just happened? Oh. I fell down… no somebody crashed with me. I looked around and saw Remus Lupin on the floor. I have always liked Remus. He was a very nice and decent guy.

"Damn Moony… watch where you're going!" said a male voice and he then started giggling. I looked up to see Sirius Black looking at us. Ugh… I was actually trying to avoid this annoying arrogant jerk!

I looked back at Remus that looked at me and said, "I am so sorry, Grace. I wasn't looking." He got up and stretched out his arm for me. I grinned at him and took it. I wasn't mad at him and I knew he didn't mean to crash on me.

"Are you okay?" he said.

"Yeah. I'm fine," I said. He smiled and nodded.

"Again… I'm really sorry," he said and this made me smile. He was too nice.

Then I felt a warm breath on my neck and I turned around to find Sirius standing on back of me. He was inches away from touching me. He was smirking and looking down at me.

"What do you want, Sirius?" I said a bit annoyed. I can't stand the guy. He was so arrogant and he was way too sure of himself. I swear he thought that he was the best thing to come into this world.

"You, Gracie," he said softly as he lay his hands on my shoulders.

"Don't touch me," I said as I took his arms out of my shoulders.

"Aw come on, Gracie! I thought we ended this last year," he said. "Why can't we be friends?"

"Shut up! I think that you decided this on our third year. Remember your little ink incident? Oh and the scissors one?" I responded and he started laughing.

"How could I ever forget?" he said happily.

"Oh… fuck you, Sirius," I said irritated as I pulled my wand out of my pocket.

"Now you're going to hex me?" he asked amused.

"Well if you don't get out of my way… I will!" I said seriously but he didn't let me pass.

"You're kidding right? I know you pretty well, Gracie. I know you wouldn't hurt a fly," he said still amused. This just angered me even more. I was now pointing my wand at him.

"Er, Padfoot... I think she is capable of doing it," James said as he tried to pull Sirius away but he ignored him. He was still looking at me as he grinned.

"I'm serious. Get. Out," I said with my wand still pointed at him.

"No, baby. I am," he joked and then smiled. That's it! "Furnunculus!" I said under my breath.

Suddenly, Sirius face was covered with ugly boils. It was pretty disgusting. I smiled with success and then he let me pass. He was pissed but he did have it coming.

"Oh my," Remus said and I heard the laughter of James.

"Prongs! Shut the fuck up and help me," Sirius said angrily.

"Well… she did warn you…," the sound vanished because I was already too far from them.

I stood in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady and realized that I didn't know the password. Damn.

"Why didn't I ask James right now? He's Head boy!" I murmured.

"Well… I'm Head girl," said a female voice that I immediately recognized as Lily Evans. I turned around to find the tall fiery red haired girl that had walked in. She smiled at me as she walked toward the portrait of the Fat Lady and said, "Banana Fritters."

"Hey, Lily! How was your summer?" I said happily as the portrait opened and let us in.

"It was great but I missed school, you know? I like it here," she said and I nodded. "I mean it's stressful that I have to be with James more than ever now… but he was pretty mature today."

"I think something terrible is happening, though. On my way here I saw Sirius with boils all over his face. Now people are pulling pranks on them! You don't see that every day," she said with a laugh and I couldn't help but smile.

"I had something to do with that," I said softly as we sat on a couch. Lily's jaw dropped and then she started laughing.

"Really? That's awesome," she said smiling. "He still gets on your nerves?"

"More than ever. I just got so angry at him as I remember of the things he did to me. Like for example when he poured ink all over me when we we're in third year! Or when he cut my hair on fourth year," I said.

"Oh my god… I forgot about that," she said. "But your hair is so long now."

"Yeah because I grew it back for two years," I said. "And I used-"

"GRACE!"

I turned around to find a very mad Sirius Black looking at me. He did not have the boils on his face. Perhaps Remus his friends had helped him. He was so mad at me. It was quite funny actually. He walked to me and I looked at me. His grey eyes were dark and his silky black hair covered his eyes a little.

"Yes, Sirius?" I said.

"Don't ever do something like that again!" he shouted at me.

"Why? Why should I obey you?"

"Because… you… you have to!"

"Oh… I have to," I said annoyed.

"Yes."

"Sirius I couldn't care less of the words that come out of your mouth," I said.

"Grace… just stop it," he said darkly.

"Hey… get away from her," said a male voice. I looked over and saw Craig standing beside Sirius.

"Don't get involved, Craig," said Sirius.

"Just leave her alone," he said darkly.

"Padfoot, let it go," Remus said and Sirius still had his eyes looking deeply into mine. Then, he turned away and left. I watched him as he walk upstairs to his dormitory.

I looked at Craig that was looking at me worried. He walked closer to me, letting me look into his beautiful icy blue eyes.

"Are you okay?" he said softly.

"Yeah. I'm okay," I assured him and he nodded.

"By the way we saw what you did to him," he said with a laugh.

"Well… he deserved it," I said with a smile. "I'm going to bed. See you."

"Goodnight," he said as he nodded.

"Bye guys," I said as I walked upstairs.
