|Prologue|
My name is Evelyn Elizabeth Taylor Dawson or Evie for short or if you're a marauder you can call me foxy. I'm currently 15, almost 16 on the 14th of October to be exact; I have reddish brown hair and bright brown-gold eyes. My bust is... slightly bigger than I would like and I guess I'm pretty skinny. I guess some might even call me pretty but I didn't really care, I wasn't one of those girls who take a lot of pride in their looks. Don't get me wrong I do make sure I look presentable and at least kind of pretty but I don't worry about how straight my hair is, how short my skirt is or how much cleavage shows (not that I have any control over that... curse my family and their big boobs!) oh and did I mention I'm a witch?
My parents are Jenna and Karl Dawson and they both are purebloods but we're like the Potter's who really cares about blood status? It's what's on the inside that counts. Anyways, I am about to attend my second last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with my very best friends. Remus Lupin, kind of not really Peter Pettigrew, Lily Evans, Sophia McKrane, James Potter and last but not least Sirius Black. Me and James go way back we knew each other ever since we were babies, our parents were best friends in school so it was natural that James and I became the best of friends.
Then once school started Jamesy meet Sirius Black and instantly we became best friends the three of us, but I also met Lily who James is absolutely infatuated with... but that's a whole different story. Anyways... where was I? Oh yes, I remember... Lily and I instantly clicked and we became best friends and I always laughed whenever James would come and ask her out. I swear those two are meant for each other... it's just Lil who doesn't get it.
Sophia was a girl in Ravenclaw who Lil and I had met in third year when we were assigned a group project in potions class. After that we became instant friends. She is a brown haired, green eyed beauty with natural tan skin and a somewhat rich girl attitude, but she was really nice and funny I couldn't help but become friends with her.
Remus Lupin was another amazing friend. I could go to him for everything and I loved him just like a brother. Of course once I found out 'bout his 'furry little problem' he thought I would run away screaming bloody murder. But of course I didn't, I couldn't do that to a brother now could I? So naturally I became an animagus much to the boys' dismay, they were afraid I would get hurt. Bloody idiots, but soon I became there little arctic fox.
And finally the notorious Sirius Black. Sometimes that boy drove me absolutely insane, he had a large ego that rivaled James, he was cocky, sarcastic (much like myself) and very... flirty. He was Hogwarts' player, a new girl every week. I swear Lily and I are the only one's immune to his charm... and Sophia kind of... I mean they dated briefly in fourth year but Sirius got bored and of course they broke up but she still swooned at the very mention of him. Sirius is definitely one of my best friends but recently I've been getting a strange feeling in my stomach every time I see him. I feel like butterflies are raging a war inside my stomach. I usually just brush it off as nervousness from seeing him after so long but Lily's not convinced. I'm hoping that by the end of the year I will understand these strange new feelings Sirius Black has thrust upon me.
|Chapter 1: Back To James' House I Go|
August 2nd, 1976
I grinned as I saw the Potter house come into view. I rushed to the door and rang the bell; the door was opened by a smiling Mrs. Potter. "Mrs. P! It's lovely seeing you again!" I told her with a hug and kissing her cheek. She chuckled at my enthusiasm. "Always a pleasure Evie, you know you can call me Sarah" Mrs. Potter said hugging me back. "Now run along James and Sirius are up in James' room, I don't think they heard the bell so you're arrival will be a surprise" she told me ushering me towards the stairs with a wink. I giggled and nodded "See you later Sarah" I said, quietly making my way up the stairs. Once I reached James' door I couldn't resist the temptation anymore.
"Jamesy!" I squealed as I barged open the door to my best friends room. "Evie!" he screamed right back tackling me in a huge hug. We both fell down right out of the room with him squishing my tiny form. We looked at each other before we burst out laughing. We lay there on the floor for 5 minutes just laughing. Once we stopped James helped me up and I gave him a proper hug.
"Evie! I missed you! Summer's been boring without you!" James complained ushering me into his room and closing the door. I heard a bark like laugh and Sirius came into view. My god the summer has done some good for him. His dark hair seemed to fall perfectly over his eyes and frame his sun kissed face lovingly. His deep silvery gray eyes bore into mine with mischief written all over them. I sucked in a quick breath before laughing.
"Oh Jamesy I know how you feel! But alas I am an only child! At least you got that prick" I pointed a finger at Sirius "to keep you company... although I might rather be alone if that was the case..." I finished off smirking teasingly at Sirius. Sirius gasped and James laughed "Evie! How could you? I thought we were friends!" Sirius said fake sniffling. "Well you thought wrong Mr. Black now come downstairs and help me with my bags" I ordered him and motioned towards the door.
Sirius and James laughed "Do you think you can insult me then order me around?" Sirius asked in a mocking tone. I put on a serious face and said with a weird accent "I believe I can, my good sir". James and Sirius just looked at me before we all started laughing. "As my lady wishes" Sirius mocked back before leading me back down the stairs to grab my bags.
Once all my bags were brought to my room, which was across from the boys'. James, Sirius and I went back to their room and got comfortable. It was a ritual that whenever the three of us got together again for the first time during the summer we would have a movie montage for the rest of the day since we were too lazy to go do anything else.
"So Evie how was Italy?" Sirius asked as James went to get the popcorn and pick a movie. I grinned widely "It was absolutely beautiful! The food was wonderful and the shopping was even better! Oh I just love Italy! I can't wait to go back!" I exclaimed with a dreamy expression. You see each summer before I go to the Potter's my family and I go away on vacation to another country, this year was Italy. My was it beautiful probably one of my favourite vacations so far along with France which was last year and Hawaii which was the year before. "Next time you need to bring me! I heard Italy is full of hot girls!" Sirius exclaimed with a wolfish grin. I rolled my eyes and threw a pillow at his head, which he caught due to his quidditch skills.
Damn his athletic skills.
"You are such a pig" I stated with a disgusted face which just made Sirius laugh. "You know you want some of this" he stated cockily while he ran his hand down his well toned chest and sent a wink and a cheeky grin in my direction. Butterflies swarmed lightly in my stomach but I ignored them and I rolled my eyes saying "In your dreams Black" while crossing my arms. He gave me a smirk "Every night Dawson, every night" was his cheeky reply. I groaned "Jamesy! Help me from your perverted friend!" I whined as James walked into the room. He smirked at me and I pouted "Sorry Evie but you're on your own with this. I won't be getting in between the sexual tension between the two of you." He stated, holding his hands up in defeat.
I felt myself blush a bright red as I glared at the two chortling boys. I huffed and flopped onto the bed and puffed my cheeks out. "Stupid boys, sometimes I wonder why I'm friends with you" I grumbled. They laughed and flopped beside me, they both wrapped an arm around me. James's arm was just above my hips while Sirius's arm went straight to my waist where my shirt had ridden up, exposing more of my flat abdomen. I began to feel tingles when his skin touched mine and I tried to fight down the blush that was slowly creeping to my cheeks when his fingers began to lightly tease my exposed skin. Did I mention that I was only wearing white denim short shorts with a floral belly top?
Yeah probably not one of my smartest decisions…
Sirius and James moved so that they were hugging me and effectively pinning my arms down while I was squished in the middle. "Get off me you wankers!" I exclaimed, trying to squirm from their tight grips. That just caused them to hold onto me tighter "Oh come on Evie you know you love our group hugs" James teased. I rolled my eyes but let a smile slip on my face, I sighed dramatically "I suppose…" I said. Sirius and James laughed and I grinned. I really did love these boys, they were my best friends. I kissed each of their cheeks before shoving them off of me "Alright, now get up. I want to watch a movie" I stated. They both shared mischievous grins and I widened my eyes, backing out of the room.
"Oh no…" I said.
They grinned "Sorry love but you did tell Prongs to pick the movie" Sirius said as he began to move towards me. I gulped and gave a nervous laugh "Come off it, you wouldn't make me watch horror movies" I said. Sirius and James shared a look before James lunged at me, I let out a squeal and turned to bolt for the door but Sirius had already caught me around the waist and tugged me towards his chest in a hug. "Not so fast Foxy, last year was your pick this one is ours" Sirius said mischievously. I rolled my eyes and finally admitted defeat "Fine, I suppose I can endure this but one of you is going to have to act as my pillow" I announced. James grinned and pointed towards Sirius "Padfoot can do it, I already told you I won't be getting in the middle of your sexual tension" he teased.
I blushed and threw a pillow at James's head. "There is no sexual tension!" I cried. James and Sirius laughed and Sirius spun me around so that we were face to face. "I don't know love, your summer in Italy really has done some wonders on your appearance" he teased as his eyes roamed my figure. I turned a beet red and shoved Sirius off me "Shut up, I'm exactly the same as when I left" I said. James shook his head as we began to descend to the basement or 'Marauder Liar' as we called it. "That's where you're wrong Foxy, you've changed a lot" James said. I gave him a curious look "How do you mean?" I asked, plopping down on the loveseat. James gestured to Sirius who smirked and came to sit with me. He picked me up and placed me between his legs. I comfortably leaned back against his chest as he wrapped his arms around me.
"Well for one, your bust certainly grew" Sirius said. I rolled my eyes and swatted his face "Bloody hell, you don't tell a girl that you wanker!" I exclaimed. Sirius shrugged his shoulders and James laughed "See sexual tension" he pointed out. I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him "Shut it Prongs, just put the bloody tape in alright?" I muttered. James laughed but did as I said while Sirius buried his face in my hair. "Sorry Foxy, didn't mean to upset you. But you really do look beautiful" he murmured. My angry façade slipped and I grinned "I guess I can forgive you for now" I mused. Sirius grinned and squeezed me for a moment before James turned off the light. I groaned and buried my head in Sirius's chest. "Bloody hell this is going to be a long night" I muttered. James and Sirius laughed at me.
"And let the horror movies begin!"
"You guys are gits" I muttered, stomping up the stairs. Sirius and James just laughed as I huffed "Oh come on Foxy we didn't mean to scare you that bad" Sirius said. I rolled my eyes "Will you did so goodnight" I said before walking in my room so I could get ready for bed. It was already 1:00 in the morning and I was dead tired. Sirius and James thought it would be a wonderful idea to scare the pant's off of me as I came back from the loo. I sighed and opened my trunk, taking out a pair of pajama shorts and a long sleeved top. I went into the washroom to wash my face and brush my teeth before stripping from my clothes and putting on my pajamas. When I was finished I sluggishly made my over to the familiar bed and climbed in.
I wasn't surprised when my door opened 10 minutes later and two figures popped their heads into my room. "Evie?" James's low voice called out. I snickered quietly and sat up in my bed "Yeah?" I muttered, sounding like I just woke up. James and Sirius shuffled into the room and I turned on my lamp, not before placing my face in a small frown. "Did we wake you?" Sirius asked softly. I nodded my head and rubbed my eyes for effect, I wasn't mad at them anymore but I did enjoy seeing them squirm a bit. They both hated it when I was angry with them and I hated it when they were mad at me.
James and Sirius crept towards my bed and they stood at the edge as they stared. "We're sorry" they mumbled quietly. I felt my lip twitch slightly "What was that? I didn't quite catch it, care to repeat that?" I said innocently. Sirius and James sighed and gave me a small glare "Bloody hell she's going to be the death of us" Sirius muttered while James nodded in agreement. I rolled my eyes "Just say it again and mean it" I said. James and Sirius groaned and dropped their sleeping bags on the ground as they walked towards me. "We're sorry" Sirius said. "Yeah real sorry" James muttered. I rolled my eyes and grinned "Great! Now get out so I can sleep" I demanded, dropping back down to onto my side.
The boys scoffed "Yeah right, like you want us to leave. You know you're going to be scared tonight so don't even bother to deny it Foxy" James said when I opened my mouth to argue. I grumbled and turned my lamp off. "Fine, I hope you enjoy sleeping on the ground" I muttered. The boys chuckled and I heard them lie down on the floor. "Always do love" Sirius muttered, gently kissing my forehead. I couldn't help but smile when he did that, little butterflies had formed in my stomach and I thanked god that it was dark so he wouldn't be able to see the blush that had formed on my face.
"Night Foxy"
"Night Prongs"
"Sweet dreams love"
"Sleep tight Sirius"
I know, I know I really shouldn't be starting a new story BUT I couldn't resist! I've been reading so much Sirius Black x OC's lately I just had to write one! I'm already so bad at updating but this story is like… last on my "to do" list. Unless it starts to get really popular… I promise (for those of you who read it) that Hidden In The Eyes |Sasuke Uchiha| is my first story I will finish it, this one is something I'll write when I have writers block. Then when HITESU is finished I shall focus on this one. Please don't be mad ^.^
Oh I will be using fashion from this time seeing as I was not born in the 70's therefore do not know much about it.
So review please! Tell what you think! Next chapter will be longer...
Xoxo- Renee
