I promise that I will soon update "Ron, leave us alone", but this story crossed my mind some weeks ago and I didn't want to let it go again, so... here's the first chapter!

Disclaimer: All the Potterish things belong to J.K. Rowling, but some characters, spells and this story are mine!

Thanks again to Sibyll Nocefler (she was the inspiration for the female main character), my beta reader! And to all the other nice people who support me so much!

"This girl's driving me crazy!", said the 17-year-old boy with the elegant black hair, which always fell into his beautiful grey eyes.

Remus Lupin's mouth stood open after this statement. Suddenly he started to laugh.

"Listen to that, guys!", he could hardly speak because he could not stop laughing. "There's a girl, who drives our notorious skirt-chaser mad!"

James Potter and Peter Pettigrew looked up from their Defence against the Dark Arts homework (actually, the very round and small Peter copied everything, that James wrote because James was a brilliant student and Peter? – Well, he was bad at everything, except Muggle Studies!) and started to laugh immediately.

"Not our gigolo?", asked James. He had to hold his stomach and had difficulties breathing.

Sirius Black shot his death-look at his three so-called friends.

When the three saw this, they had to laugh even harder and louder, which drew the attention of the other students in the Gryffindor Common Room to them.

"You should see your face, Padfoot! Hilarious!", Peter almost fell off his chair.

Sirius could not be serious!

They knew that he was the one who was driving girls mad and that he had another date almost every night!

But a girl that drove him mad? No way!

Sirius was the type of guy, who was completely aware of his effect on women and used this fact for his pleasure!

He knew that he looked great with his dark hair, grey eyes and slightly muscular body. He was also tall and most important of all: he possessed a mysterious aura.

Girls simply had to love him!

"You are really good friends!", Sirius said angrily.

That was the moment, when Remus thought that Sirius maybe wasn't kidding and so, he calmed down and signalled Peter and James to also stop laughing.

Remus pointed to the chair next to him and Sirius sat down opposite James and Peter.

The two of them drew their chairs nearer to the table and leaned forward. Sirius couldn't look at his friends.

He felt two pairs of brown eyes and one of watery eyes staring at him.

Then – silence.

He didn't know how to tell them the truth because he didn't want them to laugh at him again.

Instead of talking, he mustered the signs on the carpet.

Finally, James cleared his throat: "So? Who is this girl?"

Sirius looked up from the floor and realized that his friends had expecting looks on their faces.

He sighed. He would tell them.

"Ok!", he sighed again, "The girl I was talking about was – Elen- is- is-"

Now, Remus really thought that Sirius was playing a trick on them! Sirius had never stumbled before! He told them about every single date, but he never stumbled, but rather showed off!

Remus looked at James and Peter and they seemed to have realized Sirius's strange behaviour, too! He couldn't be joking!

It seemed to Sirius as if the eyes of his friends would leave their heads any second now.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment and then, said: "Elena Fuego!"

But his friends didn't show the reaction he had expected: nobody laughed, they just looked at each other with a knowing smile.

Suspicion formed a question mark in Sirius's face and his dark eyebrows walked upwards to meet his hair.

"What?", he finally asked when nobody said something. He was about to leave the table. "You don't believe me, right?"

Finally, Remus started, shaking his head with the light-brown hair (there were some silver spots here and there) and a very serious expression on his face now: "We do Sirius! And we knew that it would happen one day!"

His eyes were huge.

But his friend understood nothing: "What did you know? What would happen one day?"

Sirius felt anger rising inside him. Did they want to make a fool of him? It was not funny at all!

James tried to get a streak of his pitch-black hair out of his eyes, but his hair didn't want to obey (as always) and so, he just sighed. Instead, he rearranged his glasses on his nose.

Then, he laid his hand on his friend's shoulder to show his sympathy and explained: "Look, mate, you have always been the one of us who got all the beautiful girls. We others were often very jealous, above all when we realized that you were never searching for a girlfriend, but only for a girl to kiss!"

Peter and Remus nodded.

Peter, with his rat-like face, Remus, still with his huge eyes and now, James, with a little smile around his lips, looked expectantly at Sirius.

But Sirius only scowled at his three friends, not knowing what to think about this strange conversation.

Remus rolled his eyes: " You are a bit slow today, aren't you, Padfoot?", he said and before Sirius could shout at him because of this comment, he added: " What we want to tell you is, that we knew that it would all be the other way round one day, that there would be a girl, who made you crazy and you would fall in love with her! And this one day has finally arrived!"

"So, you talked about me behind my back?", was Sirius's conclusion.

"Oh, come on! That is not the point!" Remus rolled his eyes again and Sirius knew that he was right.

"Ok, sorry! So you knew that it would be also my turn some day?" The others nodded.

"Yeah, you knew it. But how is this supposed to help me? I had never had real feelings for a girl and I don't know what to do now!"

Remus answered: "No matter what you do, you have to offer something to Elena because she is not one of your little dates! She is really clever and beautiful!"

Peter nodded with his round head and James added: "Moony is right! This girl is like fire!"

He shook his hand as if he had just touched a hot iron.

"So what can I do? Prongs, come on! You have a girlfriend! How did you make Lil your girlfriend?", Sirius sounded desperate.

"You want me to tip you off?", James asked disbelievingly, but Sirius nodded.

"You are the girls' favourite! You became the 'sexiest 17-year-old ' in Hogwarts! You get all the beautiful girls! What can I tell you?"

"You really can't compare my one-evening-dates to a real relationship!", Sirius felt angry again.

"And you two", he pointed to Remus and Peter, "you are Elena's friends! You know her very well! Can't you tell me something about her?"

Didn't they want to help him? Really good friends.

But suddenly, Sirius realized that Remus and Peter were looking at the table. He remembered that they had never had much luck with girls and that James was the only one with a real relationship.

He immediately regretted these stupid thoughts and pushed the anger away.

Then, James said the only thing he knew about love (he had a girlfriend – but that didn't mean that he could really understand women or feelings): "The only thing I can say: show her your feelings! And stay yourself! Women like that!"

"Really?" Sirius became very quiet and thoughtful afterwards.

But not very long because the object of his strong desire entered the Common Room:

Elena came in with her three best friends, Lily Evans, Nadine Meyer and Jennifer Hardy.

Lily immediately walked over to James and held her hands over his eyes, while the others stayed in the background. Elena waved at Remus and then, the three sat down around a table near the fire.

With a smile on his lips, James joked: "Mmmm, Lena? Joey? Holly? Mary?" He heard Lily laugh, got up from his chair and turned around.

Lily showed her fake-disappointment.

"Oh, you, Evans!" The girl giggled and threw her arms around James's neck.

"Did you miss me, Potter?", she whispered into his ear.

Lily looked very pretty with her dark red hair and green eyes. Her smile was simply irresistible.

"Not at all!", James said as seriously as he could, but kissed Lily passionately before she could say anything in reply.

Peter and Remus rolled their eyes. Love – what was that?

They went back to their homework in order to distract themselves from the happy couple.

But Sirius's thoughts were far away, or not very far, they were with a girl, who sat on a table near the fire.

He could not stop staring at her back and imagined this beauty in his head: Her long dark-brown hair was wild, but still shiny and it looked like dark gold flowing over her shoulders; her blue-grey eyes were captivating his gaze because of the way she used to look at other people – there was so much warmth in her eyes; and, of course, he as a 17-year-old guy could not overlook her female curves.

His head turned slightly red when he thought about these things.

Elena was really a special girl: she was a Spaniard, but her family had moved to London when she was about 10 years old.

She was full of power and possessed much temperament.

So, she really was what her name promised: fuego – fire.
