10. Tabby and Sirius

"Hey! Hey Tabby! Come watch this!" Yelled Sirius across the courtyard.

Reluctantly, Tabby stood from her seat, picked up her bag and walked over the obnoxiously loud boy in her year. "What is it Padfoot?"

He hesitated. "How do you know about that?"

"About what? James and Remus call you Padfoot all the time."

As if on cue, James called out from behind where the two were standing. "Hey Padfoot! You coming or what?"

Tabby rolled her eyes at the two boys as she was practically dragged along by the persistent Sirius to find one Severus Snape hanging upside down in midair.

"What are you doing Sirius!?" she stared up at the seemingly unconscious Severus.

He smiled at her mischievously. "Just messing with the Slime-ball. But that isn't what I wanted to show you." He swiftly dragged her to the edge of the forest. "Okay, so you know I like you, right?"

"Yeah, right." She scoffed.

"No, I'm serious. Tabby, I really like you. And I need to show you something, but you need to promise me that you will never tell anyone about it." He backed away slightly.

She thought for a minute before agreeing to his terms and when she had done so, the boy in front of her transformed into a large black dog.
