OK! Here's the second chapter and the third will be posted soon tonight too! Enjoy! :)
Second Year
Phoebe made her way through the crowded halls of Hogwarts and outside in the courtyard. She found a small tree that was perfect for her and took out her sketchbook. She began to finish the sketch of the young Sirius Black.
The small Gryffindor couldn't have helped herself and had developed a small crush on the boy. She had tended to be shy and blush a lot around him.
The time passed quickly and soon she had stood to go to Potions. Someone bumped into her and she dropped her sketchbook into the lake. She shrieked and dropped to her knees in an attempt to reach her precious black book. It was just out of reach. She groaned and felt tears prick at her eyes.
"Phoebe! You're leaning too far over the lake! You might fall in." She was grabbed by none other than Sirius Black himself.
She saw James grab her book and he opened it squinting at the faded pictures of his best mate.
"Oi! Padfoot, come take a look at these." He called out.
Sirius let go of the girl in front of him and made his way over to James. James handed him the book and Sirius looked over them in amazement.
James turned to Phoebe, "Is that what you do in your free time? Stare at Sirius and sketch him! Freak! Get outta here! You're such a little freak! Merlin!"
Phoebe felt tears prick at her eyes and she ran away from the two boys and straight to Potions. She found her best friend quickly and slammed into Lily with all her might, hiding in the fabrics of her robes.
"Merlin, Phoebe! You startled me."
Phoebe pressed herself tighter to Lily and the redhead frowned.
"What's the matter?" she questioned, pulling back to see the tears streaming down the blond's face. "What happened!"
"I was p-pushed and then my b-book, it fell. Then J-james saw my drawings. H-he called me a f-f-freak!" she exclaimed, sobbing.
"The prat!" Lily exclaimed. "What was in your sketch book, Phoebe?"
"My sketches! Mostly of..."
"Sirius?" Lily guessed.
It wasn't hard to see the young girl's infatuation with Black. She got flustered just being in the same room as him!
Phoebe nodded her head and buried herself deeper in Lily's robes.
"What did Sirius do?"
"Nothing. Just stared at my sketches."
"That could be a good sign."
"You weren't there! You didn't see the look of horror come across his face! He thinks I'm a freak too and they're right!" she wailed.
"They are not! You are anything but a freak, Phoebe! Don't ever say that! You just express your feelings through a sketchbook instead of a diary. That is nothing to be ashamed of! Potter and Black are just prats!"
The said two boys walked into the room then and sat in front of the two girls. Sirius turned around and opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Lily, "Just turn back around Black! She doesn't want to speak to you! Leave her alone!"
He looked as if he wanted to say something but turned back around to James.
Lily whispered in her ear, "I'll always protect you, Phoebe."
Enjoy and REVIEWWWWWWW! :)
