Sirius's POV
Graduation day started as the most boring day I had ever experienced. Dumbledore was droning on and on about how our education would help us at the very best of times blah blah blah.
I wasn't really listening. I had my attention on Kiki Thomas. She was the prettiest girl I had ever seen. She had blond wavy hair with a touch of brunette underneath. Her face was almond shaped, her eyes green with caramel streaks that burned like fire. Her lips were full and light pink, and her nose was small, but not too small.
I naturally had a crush on her since she transferred from Hansford University in the United States. Unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. Yep, that's right, Mene Laize. The pompous brat from Hufflepuff. He acted like he was the smartest person in the world, which was rich considering how Hufflepuff tended to produce, well, idiots.
James, who was bored as well, started using his wand to pelt him with minuscule dung bombs. Lily noticed him and started to glare at him as if to say, "Behave yourself, or else!" Don't know why she even bothers. James romances her so well she probably won't remember why she was mad at him.
Turning my attention back to Kiki, I noticed how sad and angry she looked. She and Mene had apparently argued. She leaned over to give him a kiss, but he just shoved her away hard. Kiki, being a girl with a short temper when people started to push her around, immediately punched him in the gut so hard she knocked the wind out of him.
As Professor McGonagall hustled over to see what all the fuss was about, Kiki ran, crying, up to the castle. I immediately changed my mind about how boring graduation day was.
I didn't waste any time. I ran after Kiki as fast as I could. I found her in the first empty classroom I came across. She was just sitting on the floor with her head in her hands looking thoroughly miserable
"Are you alright?" I asked a little cautiously.
She started when she noticed I had entered and replied, "Yeah, I guess," she said in her American accent,"Mene has just been a total jerk lately. He keeps talking about how he is gonna be a successful wizard once he graduates and how lucky I am to have him as a boyfriend. I guess I just snapped."
"Anyone would. He shouldn't have shoved you." I replied with such forced she smiled.
"Thanks. Hey, I've seen you before. Aren't you Sirius Black?" she asked innocently.
"That's me, although I just go by Sirius nowadays."
"Why?"
"Because my family and I kinda had this huge fight and I left permanently." I replied in a flat tone.
"Oh." she replied, a little confused.
"But no worries, I have a new family. The Potter's son, James, is my best friend. They sort of adopted me when they heard I needed a place to stay." I said quickly. It was apparent that she felt bad for asking.
"Well it's nice to officially meet you. Thanks for coming to comfort me. I have heard people talking about you being a jerk, but I think you are sweet and caring." she said. I blushed in spite of myself and she giggled.
As she turned to leave, I quickly asked where she was staying. "Oh, I rented a small apartment in Godric's Hollow. Actually, its two doors down from the Potter residence, so I guess I'll be seeing you around!"
As she left, I couldn't help but think this summer would be the best I have ever had.
