Everyday I wonder why he saw me when a thousand other girls saw him.
Iris
cherished every moment of everyday. She never used to, but since she
met Sirius, she had. Every second of every day was like that 2
seconds of ignorant bliss, when you first wake up every morning, the
moment before you remembered everything bad in your life, like the
impending transfiguration NEWT and that essay you didn't do for
charms. Sirius, her boyfriend, her boyfriend Sirius. Iris smiled as
she thought about him, which her cousin Lily noticed instantly.
"What are you thinking about now?" she asked, "another
Sirius moment?" she added laughing. Iris blushed the colour of her
and her cousins hair, and ducked her head to hide her smile.
"I
don't understand it Lil," she said reaching over to play with her
cousins hair, while Lily picked up her book and lay back into Iris'
arms.
"Hmm? Get what?" Lily asked only half listening.
"Every day I wonder how he saw me when a thousand other girls
saw him," she whispered nervously, worried about her cousins
reaction. Lily sighed and closed her book.
"What Ire?" she
asked "are you being serious?" then she laughed at her own pun.
Iris didn't laugh, she just averted her eyes.
"You are being
serious, look Iris, your beautiful, your the most amazing girl in the
world. If you don't believe me, ask him," Lily tried to convince
her cousin, but Iris just became quiet, retreating back to her
thoughts. Lily sighed again.
"Hey
sugar," his velvet voice sent shivers down Iris's spine, as he
slid over the back of the love seat to wedge himself in between her
and the sofa wrapping his arms around her as he did. Iris smiled.
"Hi
Sirius, how was your day with the boys?" she asked her boyfriend,
who shrugged.
"Alright, I would have rather been here with you,
what did you do all day?" he asked as he noticed all the books
spread around her, "Study?" he asked and Iris smiled and shook
her head.
"Lily studied, I sat here distracting her," Sirius
chuckled,
"That's my girl," he whispered in her ear pulling
her closer to himself. Iris sighed and leaned back on to his muscular
shoulder. She couldn't help but notice every girl in the common
room glare at her and stare wistfully at Sirius, and she giggled.
"You see all the boys looking at me like they want to kill me
too?" Sirius asked Iris, who looked at him in confusion.
"Look
Ire, they all want me dead. Every single one of them wants to know
why I get to hold the world in my arms," he spoke, believing every
word of his spiel. Iris shook her head at her boyfriend and lent in
for a kiss, he kissed her back. When she turned and went back to
lying on his shoulder she heard him whisper.
"Every day I wonder
how you saw me, when a million other boys saw you,"
