His first Love
Sirius never expected to fall in love. Nor did he expect anyone to love him. But one time in his fifth year he did. Sirius had felt alone - confused. All his friends seemed interested in different things which made him feel left out & unsure of himself.
Hearing footsteps, he turned. Sirius saw a Ingrid Mahoney, a Ravenclaw girl whom he liked. She had dark curls haloing her face. She was usually so happy, but today, she looked upset. Her white robes bellowed behind her as did her black curls, as she ran. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Sirius liked her from the day she was sorted four years ago. When he saw her he was leaning against a wall looking out at the lake. It was Saturday afternoon – Remus was studying, James was with Lily, & he didn't know where Pete was. Sirius had nothing to do.
His breath caught as he watched her run towards him. When she was near, he heard Ingrid's sobs. Sirius reached out, grabbing her. Instinctively, he held her close. "Shh," he whispered, looking down at her. "What's wrong?"
"My parents are sending me to Beauxbatons," she whispered, "I don't want to go."
"Then don't."
"It doesn't work that way." Parting from his embrace, she stood on tiptoes & kissed him on the lips. Sirius kissed back.
"I wish…I wish I had known you before this," Ingrid said, "I always thought you were handsome."
Sirius couldn't believe what he'd heard. Before he could answer, a horseless carriage pulled up to Hogwarts. Ingrid kissed him again on the lips.
"Good-bye," she whispered, touching his cheek, smiling sadly. Before he could speak, she turned going to the carriage waiting for her. She was gone from his life.
