A Whales Song Chapter 1, a harry potter fanfic

Full summary:

Sat in front of him was the most beautiful brunette. Her hair led gently on her back and it helped bring out her beautiful deep sea blue eyes that shone in the light. Her tanned skin suggested she had been abroad for a while and when she smiled her teeth were a pearly white and she had a simple stud in her tongue.

What if Sirius never went to James' house the night he was supposed to leave Grimmauld place? What if he met a certain someone who would change his life forever?

Hey guys! I've been ill recently and couldnt stop thinking about the time when Sirius left home. But what haunted me for a few days was, what if he had never left home? What would be different? What would be the same? How would that one little thing change the future. Well this is my view of what happened. I hope you enjoy it. It takes some time to get going so i hope you all like it!

disclamer: Sadly i do not own anything from the Harry Potter universe. As much as i want too that would never happen. So thankyou JKR for letting us have a mess around with your characters. All the stuff you dont reconise (e.g. characters and the plot) that all belongs to me.

A Whales Song

Chapter 1 – A Whales Song

Sirius Black made his way through the crowded pub. It was a Saturday night, 10pm-ish and this place was full of muggles. But that didn't bother Sirius; he was quiet glad to be out of magical company.

The 16 year old sat at an empty table and put his head in his hands, letting his black locks fall over his face.

He had just escaped from 12 Grimmauld Place after being confronted by his father. He had managed to keep his family from finding out about the willow accident all summer (He even risked his life by sneaking into his father's study to retrieve the letter sent by Dumbledore!)And then what should happen? Snape goes and blurts out the whole story infront of his father, a week before going back to Hogwarts.

If he was honest, he had no idea how he had escaped. He was just glad he had. For if his mother had been home, (she was out visiting the Malfoy family) he would probably have been dead.

However he did know that he had to get out of that hell-hole. But where would he go? James'? He supposed he could. He was always welcomed at the Potters. But Sirius didn't feel it fair on James' parents.

What about Remus? No. Remus' parents thought him to be too loud. They also didn't know that Sirius knew about Remus' furry little problem.

Peter was next in line. But he couldn't. Peter's parents had just divorced. It wouldn't be fair on him.

But then again, when Sirius thought about it, none of his mates would talk to him, let alone let him live with them.

"Hey sexy" came a warm female voice, pulling Sirius away from his thoughts.

He looked up at the speaker and as he did, all negative thoughts where pushed to the back of his mind.

"Cat got your tongue?" She laughed. She had the most amazing laugh. To Sirius, it sounded more beautiful than a whale's song.

"Sorry. I'm a million miles away." Sirius apologised finally coming back down to earth.

"A dreamer are we? Well I do like myself a dreamer. And you're a sexy dreamer at that!" She complemented.

Sirius couldn't help the smile that exploded onto his face.

"So does that beautiful face have a beautiful name?" Sirius asked giving her his 'I'd-die-for-you' smile.

"Selena. My name's Selena." She smiled placing a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"Nice to meet you Selena." He winked at her.

"You're quiet the charmer aren't you!"

Sirius shrugged.

"Well you know. I try my best."

"So do you have a name? Or do I need to keep calling you sexy?" Selena asked looking Sirius straight in the eye.

"Sirius Black at your service mam… but you can call me sexy if you like!" Sirius insisted.

Selena laughed.

"Okay sexy!" There was a slight pause. "Did you just say your name was serious?"

"No. Siri-us. As in the star."

Selena raised her eyebrows.

"I've never liked it though" Sirius mumbled.

"Why? I think it suits you."

"Well, you seem to be the only one…"

"Oh come off it!"

"Okay maybe my mates like it."

"So why do you hate your name?"

"Because my parent's named me it."

"Sounds like you don't get on well with them."

"It's a long story."

"It's still early."

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me."

"You're a muggle! Okay! There are parts you wouldn't understand! I have a lot of stories that can't be told!" Sirius snapped. He didn't mean to. He loved this girl to pieces. And he didn't want to upset her. And he had a feeling he just had.

He looked up at her. She showed no sign of being taken aback at the sudden outburst, or that she had just been called a muggle. She kept calm and stood up.

Darn! He'd blown it!

"Selena…" Sirius began, calling her back. He stopped when she sat next to him. She placed her head on his shoulder.

"What secrets?" She asked. Sirius was shocked. The first thing he expected her to ask was 'what's a muggle?' He placed his arm round her waist.

"I told you…" He said softly "They can't be told."

Selena held up her hand and examined her nails.

"They can't be that bad." She rubbed her thumb across finger nails. "I already know you're a wizard."

"No I'm not!" Sirius denied. Right at this moment he was thankful to all those years of getting out of trouble. They prepared him for times like this.

Selena sat up and looked at him.

"Don't deny it Sirius! You were born into the Black family, You disregard all of their beliefs, you go to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry and you were sorted into the house of Godric Gryffindor. Yes?"

"Yeah…Wait…What…Just…How?"

"I'm a half blood." She smiled. "I love two streets away from you"

Sirius felt his mouth open and form the shape of an 'o'. Selena gently pushed up his chin.

"Just kiss me already!" She smiled placing her arms around his neck and smashing her lips with his.

Sirius didn't pull away, he welcomed it.

"If it's any consolation, I'm in the year below you and in Hufflepuff."

"I've never noticed you before…"

"I like to keep my head low."

"That can change…"

"Phew! It's getting hot in her! D'you want to go outside?"

Sirius stood up and took her hand.

"Let's go…"

He led them out the pub and down the street.

"Where are we going?" Selena asked with a tone of worry in her voice.

"Don't worry it'll be fine" Sirius promised placing his arm around her and guiding her through the crowds of people. He led her all the way round the corner and through some fields and up a hill. Once at the top he sat down and Selena sat next to him.

"Look…" Sirius pointed up at the clear sky. He looked to Selena who was looking behind them. "We're alone." He promised her. "Not a lot of people come up here." She nodded. She didn't really like being out in the dark. She knew her sister would be mad at her as soon as she got back to the pub. The only reason she had been there was because her sister would be getting married tomorrow at 11am. She turned to the sky. "Look" Sirius repeated. He was pointing to a very shiny star. "That's my star, the Sirius star…"

"It's like the shiniest star in the sky…"

"It is. It's also known as the dog star…"

"Do you take astronomy?"

"No. Every Black is forced to know all about the star they were named after…"

"It's really beautiful…" Sirius could tell that Selena was gobsmacked. "Just like you…" she snuggled closer to Sirius. Sirius placed his arms around her waist.

"I need to know more about this gorgeous girl sat beside me…" Sirius led down on the grass and gently pulled Selena with him.

"It would be my pleasure Mr Black." Selena said all posh before rolling on top of him and kissing him again.
