I don't own Harry Potter or the characters except for Clara.

Sirius' POV

"So then what happened?" Hermione asked me as the door opened. Molly, Ginny and Arthur walked into the room carrying some groceries.

"Hello!" Molly greeted and then looked at all of them who were crowded around me. "Sirius isn't telling you more of his pranks is he?" She asked and glared at me.

"No." Fred told her. Or George, I couldn't tell. "He was just telling us about his son and her mom."

"His son?" She asked and then looked at me.

"Yup." I said and took another sip.

"So what happened?" Ron asked immpatiently.

"Then we just went to the ball..." I told them, smiling as I remembered it.

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

All of the Marauders were in the common room. We were all getting ready for the winter ball.

"So who is she again? I don't think I've ever heard of a Clara." James said as he adjusted his glasses. He had never met her, although he was dying to. He had wanted to meet the girl that was daft enough to go out with Sirius Black. He couldn't even believe it, that I had got a girl.

"She's in Gryffindor." I told him and put on my blazer. "I don't know why you haven't run into her."

"She might be a friend of Lily's or something." James suggested and then looked at me. "Are you actually dressing up for this girl? I think I hear wedding bells!"

"Shut up." I smiled and smacked his arm. "Are you ready?"

We both walked down the stairs and walked over to the place where we had both agreed to meet our dates. Remus wasn't going, which sucked. Peter was going to, but he became sick. I would have stayed behind with the both of them if I didn't have Clara.

We walked down the hall and then we saw the girls. James instantly walked over to Lily. She was wearing a light blue dress. Clara wore a dark green dress. Her hair was totally curled right now and she looked beautiful.

"Hi Clara." I said and smiled nervously.

"Hey Sirius." She said and smiled. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah, of course." I said and then looked at her. "Oh yeah, this is James and Lily."

James waved and then Clara smiled. "I've met Lily before. But hi James." She said and bowed her head, still with a beautiful smile on her face.

I couldn't believe I had her. I also can't believe I didn't know her before. She didn't talk to a lot of people, that was one thing that I noticed about her. She was quite shy, even around her friends.

We got down to the great hall that was filled with students. Some danced, but a lot of them were off to the side.

We stood there for a minute and then I turned to her. "So do you want to dance or something?"

She laughed. "Sure." She said and I took her hand.

I didn't know what this girl was doing to me. I was dancing with her. Dancing! I guess that it was the same thing that Lily was doing to James.

"So how are you?" I asked her, not knowing what else to say.

"I'm good, and you?" She asked me.

"Good." I said as we danced slowly.

As the night went on she loosened up more. She laughed more, smiled more, talked a lot more. She was really friendly.

We got to talking more. She asked me a lot about my pranks and and I asked her more about herself. She told me that she was a muggle born, that she had a pet rat named Whiskers and that she was really good at Defense Against the Dark Arts.

She grabbed my hand and we just ran. We ran through the groups of students and just made our way outside.

She laughed loudly, no one could hear us. No one else was out there. "This is so much fun!"

"What is?" I asked and she shrugged.

"Being around with you." She told me with a grin. "I don't know, I don't even talk with guys."

"Wow." I said and she smiled.

"I know right!" She said and laughed. "Have you cursed me or something?"

"I thought you did that to me." I told her and smiled.

"Nope. You put a spell on my Sirius Black." She said as we sat by the lake. "I am so... Happy."

"Glad to hear it." I told her with a grin.

Then she got an idea. A small smile crept on her face. "Hey Sirius? Do you care much about that suit?" She asked me.

"Nope." I told her and she smiled, pushing him into the lake.

It was freezing, but I didn't care. Not when she jumped in after me. We both swam for a while, laughing.

"You know. Everyone in the school might think you're a jerk... But you're my jerk." She told him and then wrapped her arms around his neck.

She then just kissed me. I didn't know what to do, so I just kissed her back. I held her close to me and we just kissed.
