It's Always Been You
Chapter 1: Introduction
October 31, 1983---22 year old Kansas Fanning was sitting on the couch in her tiny apartment sobbing her eyes out, she couldn't believe that her best friends were gone, all of them. She didn't get a chance to see what could have been with the absolute love of her life. All she could think of was the flashbacks….
What a week, was all that 11 year old Kansas could think. It was her first week in her new school, Hogwarts, and it had been a horrible, hectic week. She had instantly become best friends with a girl that was her age and had bright red hair, her name was Lily Evans. It was great, the two had clicked the minute that they had gotten on the train, and complemented each other perfectly, Lily with her bright red hair and emerald green eyes, and Kansas with her dark brown hair and electric blue/gray eyes, Lily with her fiery personality and sarcastic attitude, and Kansas with her calming presence and genuine kindness. Yup, they were opposites. It was great to have a friend like that instantly, there was only one problem, James Potter.
In the course of the one week, James and Lily had had 12 yelling and screaming matches. For some reason James was obsessed with her, and she hated him. Kansas had grown to hate these matches, because at the end of them, each would storm off to their dormitory and slam the door, leaving Kansas alone in the common room with Sirius Black, James's best friend. Sirius was nice enough, but it was always very awkward, considering they were in the aftermath of what had just happened.
As the years went on nothing changed between Lily and James, they still had just as many fights, and pulled Sirius and Kansas into the middle of it all of the time. Sirius and Kansas on the other hand had become fairly good friends, considering they spent half of the night out in the common room talking because neither of them wanted to deal with James or Lily. The only thing was that they had to pretend that they didn't get along in front of James and Lily, because both of them would die if they thought that their best friends were betraying them.
One day it all came to a head though, in the beginning of their 6th year after one of the worse fights James and Lily had ever had when they really pulled Kansas and Sirius into the middle asking each to pretty much berate each other. Kansas just ran away, she couldn't stand it anymore while Sirius stayed back a little bit longer to tell them;
"You two seem to think that the world revolves around you guys. Well news flash, it doesn't. Get what ever the hell your problems are worked out, then come find me and Kansas. Until then, I don't know either of you guys." After saying that, he stormed out and went down to the black lake, where he knew Kansas would have run to.
He understood her. He didn't really know all that much about her, cause when they did stay up talking, it was always about how stupid Lily and James were. It was what their lives seemed to revolve around, but Sirius was determined to change that. He really liked her, she was different from all of the other girls in school. She wasn't the kind of girl that he would flirt with like crazy, and she wasn't the kind of girl that he would make out with just for fun. She was real, not plastic, someone he could relate to. He could tell that she had her own personal demons, just like he did. And personally, he liked it.
A couple of days later James and Lily had eventually worked everything out and were officially "dating". Kansas and Sirius were able to be friends, and everyone was somewhat happy. Sirius had his schedule of girls that he had to make out with in one day, Kansas had her life, and Lily and James had each other. Everything was good for the 4 friends……
