A/N: Sorry it took some time to get this chapter out. I don't know if this really goes with the story plot, but I'm putting it up anyways because…well just because. It's not all that good, but I did write it around midnight, so please give me some slack.
Disclaimer: I think this is getting worn out, but I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, places, etc. etc. etc.
Kylie flipped another page in the textbook, scratching in another sentence. Streaks of sun filtered in from the library window; she had cracked it open for the slight breeze playing outside, it was absolutely stuffy. It was a beautiful day, but that meant only one thing; the Marauders would be out doing their favorite hobby: bothering Severus Snape. Kylie couldn't stand it when they pranked him; sure, he was a git, a Slytherin scum, scorned everything not pureblood, but she would take him any day over one of them, one in particular.
Kylie let out a frustrated sigh, dipping her quill back into the ink. If Lily was there, she might've stood a chance against the tedious essay she had to write for Slughorn; but since she wasn't, there wasn't a chance. Bored out of her mind and without thought, Kylie looked out the glass.
The panorama was of the Black Lake. She could see the little first years teasing the giant squid, some girls dipping their feet in the water, others out studying and of course, the infamous themselves, Peter, Remus, James, and Sirius. Kylie gritted her teeth and involuntarily clenched her hands.
The two girls -a brunette and red head- let out giggles as the giant squid swept a tentacle under their feet, tickling their toes. "So, how many times has James asked you out today?" Kylie asked brightly.
"I think it would be three for today." Lily replied, pretending to be in thought.
"And when are you going to give in and finally say yes?"
"To Potter? Please, when hell freezes over, and he's the last boy on earth, I'd still let the wizarding race go extinct."
Kylie gave a laugh at Lily's comment. "You know you think he's cute." She teased.
"No, just an arrogant prick that thinks he's all that." But there was a smile in her eyes that told differently.
"Oi! Evans!" A new voice hollered loudly.
"And speaking of the devil." Lily groaned while Kylie stifled a giggle at her friend's reaction.
Although Lily refused to look up at the approaching boys, Kylie had no problem. There was James Potter, leading; two boys to his left, the somewhat unkempt one being Remus Lupin and the shorter chubby one, Peter Pettigrew; and on the right, James's best man, Sirius Black. He was definitely the one that caught most of the girls starring, Kylie was no different, he was handsomely picturesque. She couldn't help but blush, when he returned her stare; Kylie bit her bottom lip in a cute way and tried to act coy as they neared.
"So Evans, you're looking might fine today." James complimented once standing right above her.
"Well that makes one of us Potter."
"Come on Evans, you know you love me." He drawled.
"Oh you know I don't." She crooned back.
"So is that you're muggle reverse psychology saying that yes you will go out with me?"
"No that's my regular psychology saying no, I'll never go out on a date with you Potter. I'd rather snog the giant squid than go out with you."
James dramatically slapped a hand to his heart, and mocked a death. "You're words; they're daggers in my heart." He gasped, slowly falling to his knees; the guys around him were laughing hysterics at the act.
Lily rolled her eyes and pushed him in the stomach; he stumbled and fell on his back. "Shove off Potter."
"Alright fine, I'll do as you wish my love," He jumped up, brushed off his robes, and gestured for the others to follow, "I'll just try tomorrow! Mark my words Evans, you love me, you'll say yes!"
"Keep holding your breath Potter! You'll run out of air!" She called after.
"When are you going to say yes to him? You know it'll shut him up if you do."
The two girls looked up to see a figure standing behind Kylie. "What are you still doing here Black?" Lily snapped first.
"I wanna talk to your little friend." He gestured to Kylie, giving her a subtle wink; she was heating up with scarlet color. "So, if you wouldn't mind Evans," Sirius looked back to Lily, "giving us a little privacy."
"Fine," And then in a low whisper to only Kylie, "Don't let him fool you, he's one of them." She gave a small nod. Lily rose. "Don't do anything stupid Black, or you'll be dealing with me." She threatened and stalked off.
"I'm quivering with fear!" Sirius shouted after; Lily was already some yards away, but it was clear she gave him a dirty look. Kylie giggled. "You've got a right ol' cute giggle there." He flopped down in Lily's vacant place, purposely bumping against her.
"Thank you." Kylie smiled shyly.
"I didn't catch your name, but it's Demico, right? Kylie Demico?"
"Yep, and you're Sirius Black."
"Smart little girl you are, aren't you?" He shot Kylie a lopsided grin; it just made her blush again. "You know, you're cute when you blush too." That didn't help her flush go away; on the contrary it just made it worst. "So, Demico, you're in my Transfiguration's class, right?" Sirius suddenly changed subject.
"I think I am, yes." Kylie was glad to be done with the subject of her 'cute' blushing.
"Well, I'm not doing so well in that class, and I'm sick of my mum sending me all these howlers about how I should be doing better and comparing me to my brother and blah, blah, blah. Anyways, since you seem to be smart in that class, I was wondering, if you could do some tutoring."
"I-I'm not all that smart, I-I mean, Lily's much smarter or Remus, he's like a genius."
"Yeah, but she'll just nag me, and, Moony, well, he'll nag me too, besides you seem just as smart as both of them."
"I-I suppose…"
"So, you'll do it?"
"…I guess."
His grin widened. "Great, it's a date then."
Kylie's breath caught for a moment. She wanted to pinch herself, just to make sure that what he was saying was real. But she wasn't going to make a fool of herself by doing that. "A-a-a date?"
"Well yeah, a study date, why, wanna call it something else?"
"No, no, date's fine."
"Good, well, I'll talk to you later about details." He jumped up. "I'll see you round Demico!" And he was bounding off to his impatiently waiting friends.
Kylie couldn't help but smile, although still slightly dazed, her brain was still trying to register what had just happened. But one thought blared through her mind, rising above her confusion: Sirius Black just asked me out.
"You know you're not supposed to have the library windows open." A voice interrupted her thoughts.
Kylie twirled, knocking her books, ink and parchment onto the ground. The shock twisted into a glare as she saw the figure that had surprised her. "What the--? How the--?" Kylie spluttered, trying to spit out the questions. "How did you get here Black? I just saw you out there." She finally accused.
"Sorry 'bout scaring you Demico," He apologized, gathering her things and handing them back to her; she took them with a huff.
"Thanks." She answered in a flat tone.
"So," he went on, leaning himself against the wall, "you were watching me."
"Conceited as ever, and no, I was just glancing out and happened to see you." But Sirius was still smirking. Kylie busied herself by looking down at the now stained papers. "Damn, now I have to rewrite everything, thanks a lot Black."
"I can help you rewrite it if you want." He offered mildly.
"No thanks, I'll just get Lily." She stood up, an annoyed expression marked on her face, pointed toward him. "Shouldn't you be with your fellow Marauders, Black."
"Evans found Prongs, made him go off on patrolling for his duties, Moony said he had some sort of essay he had to finish, and I ditched Wormtail."
"Whatever."
"So, Demico, I've got one more thing to say." Kylie paused for a moment, her back still turned to him. "I really am sorry." He spoke in that genuine sounding voice he had been using every time he tried to apologize, that voice that made her want to forgive him, to kiss and forget; she pushed it away.
"Anything else?" Kylie asked in a cold tone.
"Yeah, wanna go out with me?"
"Ha!" She barked a harsh laugh, "Turning into Potter now, are we?"
A/N: So there it is. If you love it, please leave a review, and if you hate it, I'm sorry, I couldn't think of anything better, I was trying to put in some background, I don't think it worked so great. But if you have any better ideas, I'm all ears, so message me please.
