Yay! My Harry Potter fanfic. I love writing HP fics that take place in the Marauder area. Writing about Sirius is so much fun.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that you recognize.

I do own Emma. So, ha!


Black Eyes

"That's a whole different-"

"Hello Emma." said someone who had no problem interrupting me. I knew exactly who it was.

"Hello Sirius." I said "Can't you see I was talking to Lily?"

"I bet you were talking about me." he said grinning.

I rolled my eyes "In your dreams Black."

"You're so full of yourself, just like James." Lily said.

Sirius, unable to take the hint that we wanted him gone, waled right over and sat down next to me. He then put his arm around my shoulders.

"In a few hours, out last year here at Hogwarts will begin." he started "And you still haven't went out with me. All of the girls fall over themselves to have the chance to date me, and you don't. Why is that Emma?"

"I have some taste." I told him.

"You've dated Brad Pencroft, Joseph Sinclair and Charles McKinley. I hardly call that taste." he said.

Lily laughed. I ignored it.

"Well sorry if I happen to like intelligent, handsome and kind men. Mr. Black, you and I have very different tastes." I said, rather arrogantly.

"I'm handsome!" he replied in defense.

"Yes you are." I began "But you are also pig-headed, rude, immature and let's just say that you aren't the brightest star in the sky."

Sirius smiled "If you weren't so cute, I'd be hurt."

Did he ever take the hint? I rolled my eyes "What do I have to do to get you to leave me alone?"

"Give me a kiss and I'll leave you alone for the rest of the train ride." he replied pointing to his cheek.

"Fine." I said. I just wanted him to leave. I gave him the kiss.

"Emmie, that was wonderful." he said grinning. He kept true to his promise and was gone before I knew it.

"Thank goodness he's gone." I said.

"I think you really do like him." Lily said.

"No I don't." I replied.

"EMMA WILMINGTON KISSED ME!" I heard Sirius yell from the corridor. I couldn't help but smile and laugh a bit. Sure Sirius could be a total idiot at times, but he had a way of making me smile.


"You really got Emma to kiss you?" James asked me once I got back to our compartment.

"Yeah, totally." I said.

"I thought she hated you." Remus said without looking up from his book.

"I guess she doesn't." I said.

Before any of us had a chance to say anything else, Ravenclaw prefect Joseph Sinclair walked in.

"What do you want Joe?" James asked.

"It's Joseph." he said arrogantly "And if I were you, I'd watch what you do or say around me. I'm Head Boy now."

"I'm not all that impressed." I told him. What did Emma see in him?

"Ah, Mr. Black, just the person I wanted to see." Joseph said, an arrogant smirk appearing on his flawless face.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"You kissed Emma. She's my girlfriend." he said.

"Didn't she dump you la-"

I couldn't finish my sentence because Joseph punched me and I fell to the ground. When I opened my eyes, I saw him standing above me.

"Stay away from her or you'll get more of that." he said. And with that, he was gone.

"D'you want me to fix that Sirius?" Remus asked.

"Fix what?" I asked.

"You've got a black eye mate." James told me.

"No, don't fix it." I replied, smiling.

"You want her to feel bad for you." James said. He was always the first to figure out what went on in my head.

"Exactly." I said with a smile that was even bigger than the last.


I was talking to Lily at dinner when the Marauders sat down near us. I glanced over to my left where Sirius always sat. I noticed that he had a black eye.

"Oh my god Sirius! You've got a black eye!" I said.

I gently pushed his shaggy black hair out of his face to get a better look at his injury. It was bad.

"Who did this to you?" I asked. Sure, Sirius was annoying, but I couldn't really name anyone who'd punch him like that.

"Joe Sinclair." he replied.

"Why would he do this to you?" I asked.

"He said that you were his girlfriend and that you shouldn't have kissed me." he replied.

My voice started getting fast. It always did when I got nervous or worried "I broke up with him last year! I'm so sorry about this Sirius. I'll talk to him about it. You want me to fix it?"

"Yes, please." he said.

I put my right hand over his eye. He winced a little as I did it. I closed my eyes.

"Heal." I said softly.

I removed my hand and opened my eyes. Sirius' black eye was gone.

"Thank you Emmie." he said, giving me a smile.

"You're welcome Sirius." I said.

There was something about that smile of his that turned me to mush. I had no clue why either. I decided not to tell anyone about my feelings a long time ago. If Sirius were to find out, I'd never hear the end of it.


Okay, so there's chapter one! I hoped you were able to figure out that the point of view in which the story is told changes every so often. It will stay that way no matter what. Joseph is not gone yet. He comes back next chapter. And believe me, he's angry.

Oh, and reviews make me want to update more!
