Sirius Black sat at a table in the Gryffindor common room near the fire,
contemplating who was to be his next victim in his latest scheme and prank.
The portrait hole opened and a long dark red haired, bright blue eyed girl
crossed the room silently and settled herself into a large cushioned chair.
She pulled out a book and began to read, a few strands of dark sleek hair
falling in front of her face.
"Rrrrrow. Who is that? Never noticed her before." Sirius piped up,
looking around
at his three best friends. His eyes wandered back over to the girl in
the armchair who was quietly reading her book.
James looked up from his astronomy charts to glance over to where
Sirius' eyes had fixed themselves.
"Yes...who is that? Quite lovely looking I must say, in a rather dark snotty way I suppose." James commented. He too now, was beginning to stare.
"Drea Malfoy. She is quite good in Defense Against the Dark Arts and seems to be decent in Transfiguration. Quiet one, doesn't seem to have, nor want many friends. I think she prefers to be alone." Remus said, not bothering to glance up from his transfiguration homework. "She's said to be off limits, she's Lucius's sister, you know."
James and Sirius turned to each other, their mischievous minds working quickly. They both grinned and turned to look at Remus, who looked up slowly.
"Malfoy's sister is a Gryffindor? Why hadn't I'd known about this sooner?" Sirius questioned slowly, yet there was a hint of tamed excitement in his voice. His bright blue eyes sparkled, as he awaited Remus's reply.
"Because you are oblivious... What are you two planning this time?" Remus asked cautiously, now looking toward Drea as well.
"Do you know how brilliant it would be to 'capture and tame' the heart Lucius Malfoy's sister? There would be an uproar in the Slytherin house. Snape would be beside himself with envy. Hasn't he always fancied Malfoy's sister?." Sirius replied, his grin now to its full extent of wideness.
"Padfoot you're a genius, it would be the payback of all time for Malfoy, Snape and their pratty mates. You must get her to go out with you." James threw in, becoming more fervent with the idea in every word.
"We're not talking about some animal here. This is a girl, and a risky one at that. You are playing with fire, dear Padfoot, and you're bound to get burned." Remus said a bit icily. James raised his eyebrows and smiled at his light brown haired friend.
"You fancy her don't you Moony?"
"Oh Merlin's bloody beard, no! I do not fancy her. It's just, oh what would you two know? Neither of you can hold a steady girlfriend for more then a week." Remus snapped, picking up his books and heading up towards the dormitories.
"Goodnight" he called shortly and ascended the stair case, books in hand.
"You may be good Padfoot, but you aren't that good. Malfoy's sister would never go out with the likes of you. Do you honestly think she is that oblivious to not realize what you are up to? We are her brother's most despised enemies!" James laughed, raising a brow.
"Alright then, watch and learn." Sirius stated confidently as he made his way over to the armchair.
"Hello Miss, care if I join you?" He said in the most debonair voice he could muster.
Drea hardly looked up when she replied, "That is unnecessary Mr. Black, I know who and what you are, and I most certainly will not be your next victim to another clever prank. Goodnight."
She turned the page to her book and kept on reading, seemingly undisturbed.
Sirius stared for a brief moment in utter shock. It was the first time he had ever been shot down by a girl. Any girl. This Drea was really something. Something about her intrigued him. She was the only girl so far that he had come across, that he could not possess with great ease.
"Well if that is the way you feel Ms. Malfoy, I shall leave you be. But this will not be the last time you encounter Sirius Black. There is something about you that I find quite interesting. Until we meet again...." Sirius recovered, gently taking her hand in his and placing a small kiss upon the back. With one last knee buckling smile, Sirius turned and walked back to the table where James sat in high anticipation, awaiting his friends return.
Drea watched with mild interest as Sirius sat down back down with his mate. She had heard much about the infamous Sirius Black. Handsome as though he certainly was, she swore to herself she would not be his next trophy. She let a small smile escape her lips and closed her book. Tomorrow was bound to be an interesting day.
