Chapter 2-
Sirius stared into the fire, thinking. He loved Hogwarts so much. Going home was terrible. The door to the common room opened. It was the girl. Selene, that was her name. She's so beautiful. Her smile. Her laugh. Her personality. Just, everything about her is so… magical. He laughed. How ironic that the girl of his dreams, that he had just described as magical, would be found at a school of magic. The way her hair falls… the way her eyes sparkle in the firelight… the way she smells… She walked over to the fire, and sat down across from him.
"So, whacha drawing there, Sirius?" She asked. He covered his notebook, feeling relived that it wasn't open to his sketches of her.
"Nothing." He said. "So… there's a bonfire tonight, and, I was wondering if maybe you would want to go, like, with me…" He looked up at her as he trailed off.
"I'd love to," she said "But… I don't know… There are just some people that I really don't want to run into…"
"Don't worry," said Sirius. "I'll protect you." She smiled and blushed. To Sirius, it was the most wonderful thing in the world. I want to make her smile like that every day.
Suddenly, Sirius was attacked from behind. In seconds, he was in the form of a dog. He knocked the attacker down and held them to the ground. Then the scent reached his nose, and he looked closer. It was James.
"Bloody hell, man!" shouted James. "Are you trying to kill me?"
"Maybe…" replied Sirius mischievously.
'Well sooner or later, you're going to succeed with that." Said James. Selene laughed, and James looked at Sirius, as if to say, 'so, what happened?'.
"We'll be right back." Sirius said to Selene, as he grabbed James' arm and dragged him up to their room.
"I asked her to the bonfire tonight!" said Sirius, obviously very exited. "And she said yes!"
"Congrats, mate!" said James "So… are you going to kiss her tonight?"
"I don't know…" said Sirius. "I'll probably just ask her on another date… and maybe to be my girlfriend… I've had a crush on her since the first year. I finally have a shot with her, and I don't want to screw it up. Besides, don't you have to ask your beloved Lily something?"
"Oh, yes! Thank you!" He shouted as he ran down the stairs. When Sirius walked down the stairs again, he found a note, but no Selene. The note read as:
Sirius-
I'm sorry I had to leave; I have to go take pictures of some event. I honestly have no idea what it is. Anyways, I can't wait to go to the bonfire with you tonight. See you at dinner.
-Selene
Sirius smiled. Tonight, would be wonderful.
