Chapter 1: Bad, Bad World

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot! This brilliance is all Queen Rowling's work!

Enjoy!

This world...it is a very strange place. There are so many strange people. There are too many complications. In a way, we are all bad people. But, we all have our shining moments in which we redeem ourseves, somewhat. We all have a little bad in us and are a little bit fucked up.

In all honesty, it is a bad, bad world. But we have to face it, nonetheless.

He was gorgeous, knew it and tended to use it to his advantage.

She was an average blonde and thought nothing of it; she didn't care who looked.

He loved the attention he was showered with; he revelled in it.

She tended to avoid the limelight; hating being stared at, funnily enough.

He never lost his cool - unless, his family was involved.

She had the most fiery temper in the world and it took very little provocation for her to lose it.

He was no innocent boy.

She was no sweetheart.

He didn't know what he wanted and lived for the sake of living.

She knew what she wanted with life and went after it with everything she had.

He drawled and grinned, and was as laid back as possible.

She talked fast and laughed loudly, and analyzed every detail.

He was a rebel who was rarely ever alone.

She was cheeky, crazy and kept her friends close.

He was Sirius Orion Black.

She was Ariana Helena Collins.

They were too different,

But this s how the cliche goes, right?

.

But, tragedies change people...

They change how you think, who you are, how you react, and your instincts. They rip you apart and tear you down and you, in the midst of the mess, try to find pieces to fix yourself. You try because you are nothing if you are incomplete. You try every trick in the book in your desperate haste, before you come undone, because you need to. You fight and fight more or you give up and back down in defeat, you accept the reality and don't try to alter the inevitable.

In the end, it's a choice, it's a game, it's a battlefield and we all fall down. You get back up or you stay still and play martyr.

You can't pity yourself because that's just wrong. It's your decision and your responsibility to cope with whatever consequence you land yourself into. It will go wrong because it's a bad, bad world.

This is life...and this story is how they lived it.

A/N: OKAY. This is the first chapter to what will be a long and (hopefully!) amazing story! Alright, enough with the pep, yeah? Read and review...I promise you, my intention is to make it worth it. Sirius/OC is something well over-done so I tried to take a different approach to it.

Hopefully, you will love it. REVIEW?
