Hi guys! First off, I'd just like to thank you for even taking the time to click on the story! It just warms my heart!

Anyway, this story is AU, though it will follow canon somewhat, where Harry's journey throughout the books is concerned. I don't mind having suggestions for my story, and if you'd like to, please do leave a review! I'd very much appreciate it!

Now, this story is under rating M for a reason. I'm not too certain on how graphic it will get, but there will definitely be some triggering topics and strong language. If you don't want to read this, I do suggest that you turn away now, as I do not want to cause anyone hurt or discomfort.

This is the Prologue for this story, and I'm hoping to continue with it!

With that said, I own nothing in this story but some original characters that may pop up and some of the ideas!

Without further ado, Taken.


Mary MacDonald walked into The Leakey Cauldron with her red-painted lips pulled into a smirk. Running a hand through her perfectly curled and tousled hair, she swayed her hips as we walked over to the bar.

Smirking as she settled down into a stool by the bar, she ordered a firewhiskey and tossed a flirtatious smile over her shoulder at a man who whistled at her.

You see, Mary was a bit of a slut. She was proud of the fact, and name calling never seemed to bother her. She liked her way with men. It was fun and interesting, to say the least. But there was one man that she just couldn't get enough of teasing. One Sirius Black.

Sirius' reputation as a playboy meant nothing to Mary. She genuinely liked him for him, she always enjoyed his company and well maybe the sex was pretty good, too. He was funny, sarcastic and those eyes reminded her of the sky. They were absolutely brilliant. The way he looked at her sometimes sent shivers down her spine, and she knew that she would no doubt give in if he ever asked her of something.

But this brings back the reason Mary was sitting at the bar. Her best friend, Lily Evans, or it's Potter now, had just departed for her honeymoon with her new husband James. Sure, she was ecstatic for the happy couple, but she couldn't stop the longing feeling from rising up within her. She wanted what Lily had… but it just wouldn't work.

It had been a quiet wedding, family and close friends only. Of course Mary was part of the wedding party, along with her other friends Dorcas Meadows and Alice Longbottom. She didn't have a date to the wedding, but boy did she ever want Sirius to ask her.

She had prayed for weeks that Sirius would ask her to accompany him to the wedding. She tried not to make it obvious when hanging around with the group of friends, but Lily, Doe and Alice had all seen it. They told her to just ask him, but Mary just couldn't do it. She never had a problem with men, unless they were Sirius Black.

What really got on her nerves was that Sirius had brought a date with him to the wedding. A tall, blonde bimbo that seemed to giggle at everything he said. Mary knew it was inappropriate, but oh how she wanted to slap the bitch in the face.

Mary tossed her shot back as she thought of the memory. Yes, she wanted what Lily had, but that dark-haired man just ruined it all for her. She'd never be able to have him, and she knew it. Sure, they had been fuck buddies once upon a time, but that was in school and they were adults in the real world now.

For tonight, Mary just needed something, or someone, to distract her for a little while.
