A/N: did I ever mention I don't own any of J.K.'s character? I don't.

"So you really do have advanced hearing, smell, and sight."

"Yeah," Sirius murmured.

"Is it strange?" I asked setting my book down and rubbing my sore eyes.

"What was that?" Black asked looking towards me.

"Is it strange?"

"Is what strange?" Frustrated, I blew out a long stream of air.

"For all your superior hearing, you sure suck at listening." He shot me an impish grin and gave my knee a squeeze.

"Sorry love, mind repeating the question for me. I'm all ears now."

"I just wanted to know if it's strange at all,"

He looked pensive for a moment before giving me a good natured shake of the head. "Nah, it was a pretty easy transition, a bit overwhelming at first, but nothing more than that. If anything its more my emotions, but I suppose you read about that. The whole I am connected to you, and vice versa deal."

"Well, just you connected to me for now; I won't really be connected to you as fully until…" I could feel my cheeks flush suddenly and quickly changed the subject, "I feel like I didn't learn anything to interesting in this book, it was all veela's originated here, and they are good looking with all these special capabilities." I tucked my legs in underneath me.

"Sounds like we were reading the same book," Black shifted a bit, eyeing the pile of books. "but I think there might be a book in there that may have some better information."

"Oh?" I eyed the pile of books surreptitiously. "Which one?"

Black stood up and stretched, making his way over to the exit. "It's a leather bound one, and it's pretty small in size. You'll know which one it is."

"Where are you going?" I asked sitting up and staring wide eyed at him.

"I have to go,"

"Where?" my tone more demanding as I sat up on my knees, giving him an incredulous book. "What happened to the whole getting through this thing together? And you needing physical contact to keep you sane?" I finished with a pout. "If you leave, I can leave!"

"I'm not trying to get out of reading, or get out of touching you, because we both know I could touch you all day long," he said flashing me a wink, "but the book in question is one that you have to read on your own." And with that he slipped out of the door.

"Jerk!" I yelled, going over to the door and trying to get out. "You prick Black, unlock this door! Or better yet, get your ass back in here!" no reply. I marched my way back over to the couch and through myself down onto it. I couldn't believe he left me in here to read by myself, this blasted room was getting on my last nerve!

Finishing my minor tantrum I sat up, and pushed around the pile of books. "Where are you…" I sang. Slightly off key. The leather bound book was at the bottom of the pile, hidden. For some reason I was hesitant to reach out towards the book, a sudden feeling of unease incasing me.

"Pull yourself together girl," shaking myself I reached out and snatched the book off the table. "It's just a boo—"
