Celine's cat, Toffee, was one of her best friends. So when Celine woke up without her on her bed in the middle of the night, she was feeling a bit hurt, but mostly worried and concerned. Toffee was a present from her mum and dad when she went off to Hogwarts her first year. She didn't get to see them much, and there wasn't much that they understood about the wizarding world, as they were muggles. Yes, she still sent them letters and such, but she was still quite lonely. Toffee made up for that, along with the friends that she had made at Hogwarts.

After padding softly around the room, calling out quietly for Toffee, Celine went down to check in the common room.

There was a fire in the fireplace, Celine thought it would have burnt out already, but then she noticed a person sitting on the red over-sized sofa. She walked around from behind to see that Toffee was there, curled up asleep on the stomach of a certain Sirius Black. He was snoring softly.

Celine was unsure of what to do. She didn't really want to wake him up, would he get mad at her? Would he think her rude? Or worst of all, would he prank her? All she wanted to know is how Toffee got downstairs and why she was asleep on Sirius. She leaned against a table, and winced when it made a small noise.

Sirius rubbed his eyes and looked around the room. His eyes widened when he noticed Celine. "Hello, love... were you watching me while I slept?" He said casually, if not indifferently, and then muttered something under his breath that sounded a lot like, "That's a first."

Celine knew that Sirius was probably the best-looking boy at school, and might be for at least a few more years, she had accepted that for a fact. She had looked at him a couple times, but she couldn't believe how she had never looked at his eyes. They were so... intense. Smoldering, even. Like they would burn through her skull and see what she was thinking. It rendered her speechless for a minute.

"Are you ok?," Sirius asked, concern gracing his gorgeous features.

This snapped Celine out of her reverie and she blushed. "Yes. Sorry." He had already turned her into another bumbling idiot. "Well, umm... that's my cat."

Sirius looked a bit surprised for a moment, and then looked down at himself. "So this is your cat.", he mused. "I temporarily named it Caramel... what's it's real name?"

"Toffee", she whispered. She was staring into his eyes again. How were they so perfect? Was it even possible for a human to have eyes like that? Why was he bothering to make conversation with her?

"What did you say? Are you sure you're alright?" Sirius scooped up Toffee and walked closer to her. Celine's breath hitched. Just act like Lily. She always knows exactly what to do.

"I said, her name is Toffee, and yes, I am perfectly fine." It came out a little weak, but there was still authority in her voice, at least she thought so.

Sirius chuckled and said, "Well, I was close enough... it seems great minds think alike, don't they?" He placed Toffee down on the floor. He took a few steps closer and leaned towards Celine, placing a hand on the table behind her. She froze up. All thoughts of acting like Lily vanished. His face was at most, 5 inches, from her own, and his smoldering eyes were searching her.

"How have I never noticed you before?", he wondered out loud. Celine gave an involuntary squeak. She had to move, do something to tear herself away. She ducked under his arm and reached for Toffee. The cat jumped up into her arms, and she scurried away, up the stairs to the girl's dormitories.

She heard a laugh that almost made her heart stop, and she thought that she had fallen down the stairs because of it. She landed roughly at the bottom of the stairs-turned-slide, and found herself straddling a surprised, but pleased, looking Sirius.

"Missed me that much?"

She was blushing furiously, she already knew it. Toffee was yowling in her arms, annoyed at being squished. She got up hastily, and comforted Toffee.

"What do you want, Sirius?" she asked very quietly, still terrified by his gorgeous eyes.

"Your name, love, what else?", he said, smirking unabashedly at her.

"Celine Thompson." And with that, she ran up the stairs for her life, blushing and shaking her head, wondering if maybe, just maybe, Sirius Black was into her.
