Chapter four has arrived! This is where it starts to get a wee bit sentimental. I actually love this story. Hope you all do just as much as I do!

Fourth Year
Sirius tugged at his growing hair. As much as he enjoyed the rebellion from his parents it was annoying at this length. He marched around the school looking for someone who could potentially lend him a band. Then he spotted Lily and Marlene entering the common room. One of them must have one! He sped after them and slipped in just as the portrait was closing. .He'd forgotten the password. Again. Filled with hope he bounded up to the girls.
"Hey ladies!" he smirked and winked. They both look unimpressed.
"Yes?" Marlene said. The smirk changed into a small smile much to the girls' surprise.
"Can I ask a favour?" he meekly asked. Both the girls scoffed.
"Really Black?" Lily shot back, crossing her arms. He ignored their unwelcoming attitude.
"Do either of you possibly have a hairband I could borrow?" he rubbed the back of his neck tentatively. Marlene shook her head.
"Nope, sorry can't help you." she quipped pointing to her new pixie cut. Lily checked her wrists.
"Sorry I don't, but I can go and get you one?" Sirius faltered at the kindness of the Evans girl. It didn't go unnoticed by her either.
"Oh no! It's fine I can wait. I'm sure I have one somewhere." then he spun and sprinted out of the common room. The two girls watched him go.
"That was weird." Marlene commented, carrying on with getting her homework prepared.
"Yeah." Lily said still watching the space Sirius had now disappeared from. "Really weird."
Later that day Sirius marched into the dorm noticing a note on his bed. He picked it up and scanned the words. 'Couldn't have you struggling with hair now could we? Believe me I know the struggle of gorgeous hair too! L x' under the note was red and gold striped hair tie. Sirius could feel tears welling. It was Lily he knew but he wasn't used to kindness. How could she be so kind when he was such an idiot?
