There was only one reason why Sirius Black procrastinated when handing in his Transfiguration assignment – he was called in to Professor McGonagall's office to serve private detentions. He loved the private detentions with her – he loved the long nights in her private chambers – he loved her, period.
She was a magnificent person – a beautiful woman, a passionate, sensual lover, and a compassionate friend. And he loved her – absolutely adored her. He was willing to break all of the rules to be with her – and he did break all of them, too.
He knew that she felt the same about him – she was always telling him how much she adored him, how happy she was when she was with him, how in love with him she was. Being with her warmed his heart, and warmed hers – they were meant for each other.
That was the reason that Sirius Black always procrastinated when turning in his essays for Transfiguration.
