Sirius Black among his friends walked along a corridor. Only a few others were along. Some Slytherins, a Hufflepuff girl, more Gryffindors, and some Ravenclaws. He saw the Hufflepuff girl walk past the Slytherins, then he watched as a Slytherin boy held his foot out to trip her. She did not see it, as she was carrying a multiple of library books in her hands. She tripped over the foot of the Slytherin and her and her books went flying. She fell flat on her face, and an oncoming book hit her.

"Ow!" He heard her say. She picked herself up, and started retrieving the fallen books. One fell by his foot. Sirius picked it up and read the title. 'Advanced Transfiguration'. He walked to her and said,

"You forgot this one."

"Thanks." And she hurried off.

"Your welcome!" He turned to his friend James Potter. "Who was that?"

"I think her name is Elise. I'm not sure. One thing I know is that she's usually in the room with me during detention."

"A troublemaker? She doesn't look it."

"No. She isn't there because she's in trouble, it's because she's the only one who can stand me for up to five hours at a time. The professors go crazy."

"Why? What do you do to them?" Asked Remus Lupin, his other friend.

"I either stare at them and not say anything or just talk constantly. It's pretty funny, now that you mention it."

"Speaking of detention, you have another one tomorrow, Mr. Potter, as do you, Mr. Black." Professor McGonngal was standing in front of him. "All the professors are on duty so Ms. Alcott will be watching you."

"Who's that?"

"Elise Alcott. You know, the girl who watches you almost every week when you have detention."

"Oh! I never knew her last name."

"Ok, professor. Bye-bye, now." The three friends walked off, and out onto the grounds.

The sun was shining, casting rays of heat to the students. Sirius and his friends walked to the beech tree, and sat under the shade. Sirius watched as James scanned the grounds for his beloved Lily Evans, the muggle born he had been in love with since he first laid eyes on.

"She's over there, you idiot." Remus pointed to the lake.

"Oh. Cheers, guys." And he walked off in the direction of Lily.

"Poor bloke, that guy doesn't even know the girl hates him." Remus said to Sirius. When he didn't answer, or say anything Remus yelled in his ear "Sirius!"

Sirius was so surprised he accidently let his head fall back and rammed it into the trunk of the three. "Ow! What was that for, Mooney?"

"You were staring off into space. And you couldn't hear when me when I talked to you."

He ignored him once more to say,"Hi, Elise." Sirius looked at the woman standing before them. Indeed it was Elise. Back in the corridor he didn't get a good look at her, but he did now. She had midnight black hair that was always down, royal blue eyes, and was short. She looked surprised that he knew her name at first, but shrugged it off. "Hi, Sirius. Remus, do you have the Care of Magical Creatures notes? About werewolves? I lost mine. And seeing as you're the only person out here that knows a lot about them, I thought I'd ask you."

"I don't really have any notes. You could meet me in the library at around maybe 5 and I could tell you?" He suggested.

"Sure. Bye Remus. Bye Sirius."

"Bye Elise!" The two friends said in unison. They looked surprised when she came back and said,

"You might want to help James. It looks like Lily's finally lost it." She nodded over towards the lake, where Lily was screaming in James' face.

"Thanks."

"Of course."

Sirius found himself jealous of Remus. He didn't know why though. He tossed and turned in his red and gold sheets, trying to shake the unruly thought from his mind. He hadn't been there at their tutoring session, so he didn't know what happened. He also didn't have the nerve to ask Remus how it went. He also thought that Remus might know that he was jealous, or whatever was going on with him. Then, it hit him. He was one of the most wanted guys in all of Hogwarts! He could have any girl he wanted! But the only one he wanted he probably couldn't have. He already felt the vibes that Remus was developing a small crush on her as well. Wait, hold up, did he have a crush on Elise? She didn't really seem his type. A studier person, like Remus. He had to admit, she was pretty. The way her curls hung right near her face, and how her lips looked so moist. . . Wait! What am I thinking? Oh, I hate love! What did I just say? Shut up, Sirius! Stop thinking! I was thinking? That really must be a first.

The next day, he couldn't wait for detention with James and Elise. At lunch that day, he was surprised(as was James), to see that Elise was talking and laughing with Lily. It was just the two of them, instead of Lily with her usual group of friends. James being James automatically walked to his love, and Sirius followed.

"Hey, Evans."

Lily put her head on Elise's shoulder saying, "Oh no." She put her head up, "What do you want, Potter?"

"Just to talk to you."

"Haha, you're not going to."

"Why not?" Elise asked. She turned her head to look at Lily. "Why won't you talk to James?"

"Because he annoys me. He just can't get it through his head that I don't want to go out with him." She put extra emphasis on the word 'don't',

"Hello, standing right here." James told her.

"Why does he annoy you?"

"What are you? A shrink? He annoys me because he asks me out every single day."

"Why don't you just do it? I mean, you don't really know if it'll be that bad, do you?"

"Yes, I do. I can tell just by listening to him. Bye, Elise. I'll see you later." Lily walked away, headed for Charms.

"Sorry. She won't budge."

"It's ok. Thanks for trying anyways. See you in detention." And he hurried off in the same direction as Lily. It left a really awkward silence between Sirius and Elise. He just looked at her, and that seemed to be bothering her. "Is there something on my face?" She touched her cheek.

"No, no. You're perfect." Sirius didn't wait for her to say anything, and left. When he got to Charms, he mentally kicked himself. How could he have let his thoughts slip? When he said that, it left Elise feeling very confused and curious. Sirius Black, one of the most hottest guys in Hogwarts, said she was perfect. She'd ask him when she saw him in detention that evening.

Around 5:55, James and Sirius headed toward the old classroom they'd be using for detention. Sirius looked outside a window. Stars were just about peeking into the sky, making more light. The moon, now at it's third stage, was bright and shone magnificently asked the dark blue water in the lake. Crickets started chirping along with other nightly sounds he had grown so used to. James turned the door nob, to see Elise, wearing a black pull-over sweater and red pants sitting on the teachers desk, with one knee pulled up to her chest, silently reading. She looked up, and saw two out of the four marauders.

"Have a seat, boys." She said. She indicated to two desks not far from the one she was sitting on. "It's not like you have a choice, anyways."
