Game of Mirrors
Summary: You wanna play the game? It goes like this: You mess around, have fun, tell each other secrets, cry about the past, hold hands, laugh until it hurts, and think about eternity. But you don't fall in love. Because the first one who does loses. Sirius/OC, Lily/James
Prologue/Chapter One
Take it and turn my facts to fantasies.
-Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac
No one in the entire damn school seems to know the slightest bit about stupid Eden Flume! Sirius thought angrily, stomping down the corridor as he ignored the familiar titters of girls giggling when he passed them and the occasional, "Sirius, baby, broom closet tonight?"
He shouldn't be focusing all of his concentration upon Eden Flume. She was an idiotic, frigid girl, nothing more and nothing less. . . And the Sorting Hat was probably wasted when it Sorted her into Gryffindor, since she spent all of her time with her Death Eater-ly Slytherin friends. . . I don't even know why Evans bothers with Flume.
Sirius didn't know what irritated him most about Eden Flume: the fact that one of her so-called friends was his sodding brother or the fact that she had enough secrets to intrigue him. Either option was equally infuriating.
With his mind back to its normal one-track state once all thoughts of Eden Flume thrown out of it, Sirius Black smirked and continued down the corridor. Yet he was right, though. Eden Flume was a mystery, an enigma who was rarely seen in passing—just rarely seen anywhere. No matter how deeply someone dug to find a single snippet of information about her, they would only uncover three things:
1) She never took any "normal" classes like Transfiguration, Charms, Ancient Runes, Muggle Studies, ect.
2) Her best friends were Lily Evans of Gryffindor and Regulus Black of Slytherin.
3) Sirius Black and James Potter loathed her very existence.
Okay, I know that was really short. But it's a prologue and I have no idea where Game of Mirrors is going to go (not to mention I need some feedback on the scraggly beginning) so I rapid-fire typed this and slapped it onto . While listening to the Skrux & Complexion remix of "Cosmos" by Clark Kent feat. Yinyues—not a good idea, because now all I can think about is These Broken Stars. Ugh. Plus there's really annoying Christmas music blaring from my living room and it's drilling into my head like a fucking woodpecker. . . Anyways.
Love, like, dislike, catastrophically detest?
Little semi-important side note: As a twisted Christmas/Holiday Gift thingy, I figured I should try and work on/update as many fics as I can. That means not only the more popular ones like Clockwork Academy and City of the Fallen, but the 2-chapter ones like Matching Shadows, Elusive Scarlet, Dark Clarity, Fractals, and I'm Falling to Pieces (including one I'm going to upload soon, State of Silhouettes and the next chapters for Game of Mirrors).
Also, I'm thinking of deleting Clockwork Enigma. It was a really shitty plotline and I don't even know how I'm going to continue it. . . What do you guys think?
