He holds her hands whenever he gets the chance

It was Christmas holiday on their fourth year. Sirius Black had stayed in Hogwarts for the holiday since James and his family couldn't accommodate him in their 'family trip'. He was one of the few who did. Another was Addie Velasquez, Social Outcast of the Ravens. It wasn't planned, but they had bonded over their little Muggle Studies tutorials.

"Why do you always go to the Library?" Sirius had asked her one day.

"Why do you always bother me?" Addie shot back.

"Because I like to." He replied.

"Well, I go to the Library because I like it, too." She said.

"But its Christmas," He whined. "You shouldn't go to the Library on Christmas. It puts a damper on the Christmas spirit."

"You know," Her face visibly softened. "You don't have to come with me to Library every time I do. And you didn't have to stay for Christmas. You should've gone home like the others."

"It doesn't matter." He shook his head. "I like hanging out with you. Besides, if I spend Christmas with my family, my mother would've poisoned my food."

Addie looked amused at him. "That's a bit harsh, you know." She had heard stories of his mother from him, of course. "If she poisons you, there's a chance she might poison your younger brother, father and herself too. I think she'd only strangled you on your sleep."

Sirius burst out laughing. "That's a good one, Ads!" He told her.

Addie suddenly tripped over one of Peeves's jokes and fell down face first. "Ow!" She cried out in pain, holding her chin.

"Whoa!" Sirius crouched beside her, helping her get up. "Merlin! Are you okay?"

"No." She groaned. "I think I bit my tongue. Check if it's okay." She stuck her tongue out.

"It's all right. Come on, let's get you to Madame Pomfrey." He helped her up. She wobbled a bit and he held her hand free hand, balancing her most likely sprained ankle.

And all the way to the Hospital Wing, he never let go of her hand, even as Madame Pomfrey fixed her chin and her sprained ankle.
