"Fraser Wood seemed to have spotted the snitch!"

Frank Longbottom's voice rung out through the quidditch pitch as Romy sped up towards the goals, passing to James who was just that bit ahead of her as she went. Gryffindor were winning 110-70 with Romy scoring 3 of them, Fabian Prewett scoring 3 and James scoring 5. Romy kept her eye out for Wood on the snitch as Frank's voice rung out the stadium yet againg, declaring that James had scored yet another goal.

"He's got it! Wood has the snitch! Gryffindor's won!"

With a sigh of relief, Romy smiled as James flew over to her and hugged her in mid-air.

"You did fantastic!" He said.

"Thanks," she laughed.

Both of them flew down and walked down towards the changing rooms. Behind her she could hear Marlene laugh and she didn't need to turn around to see that it was Sirius causing it. She couldn't look. She didn't know why but jealousy kept creeping through her. She sat in the changing room, pulling her gloves off and watched as the two kissed, yet again.

That was then it hit her.

She liked Sirius Black.

September soon ended and October arrived quicker than expected. Romy sat in the library with Lily and Remus. Alice always seemed to study with Frank and the rest just didn't care. Ever since her realisation that she liked Sirius, she tried to stay away from him yet stay his friend at the same time, which was quite an exhausting task. Every time she seen him, Marlene was there. It was as if she had leeched herself on to him and refused to let anyone else near him. Romy couldn't help but be annoyed at her because he did have other friends but if any girl took a foot near Sirius when he was alone, Marlene would come out of nowhere as if she had been watching him.

Romy didn't even let it bother her that she liked Sirius because she knew nothing would happen, anyway. His goal of the year was to befriend her and he did it within the first month of Hogwarts. She just missed his company. She hadn't spoken to him properly since the day she told him to go sort things out with Marlene.

"Roms?"

Zoning out of her thoughts, she looked at Remus.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, sorry, I was daydreaming," she replied. "Were you talking to me?"

"I asked if you still wanted my Transfiguration notes to help with your essay," he smiled. Romy knew he was trying not to laugh at her in her daze.

"Sorry, yeah," she took the notes as he handed them to her.

She skimmed Remus' notes, not really taking them in as she stared at her half written essay. Sirius was occupying her mind too much to concentrate and it was beginning to affect her school work. She looked up from the notes to see Lily in a daydream of her own.

"What you dreaming about, Lils?" she asked her.

"Hmm?" Lily looked at her friend. "Nothing, sorry. I just got bored, I've been finished for ages but I couldn't be bothered moving."

"Scared you'll get landed with Frank and Alice in the common room?" Romy grinned.

"It's not even that, I know I will," Lily sighed. "I think Alice only makes them sit with me because she feels sorry for me when you're not there but I honestly don't mind being alone."

"You should come to quidditch practice then."

Lily stared daggers at Romy as she laughed. "It's not funny. At least you'll be with me for Hogsmeade. I don't think I could handle them both for a full day."

Romy just nodded. She was looking forward to just a day out with no Marauders.

"There's Sev," Lily said standing up. "I'll just meet you back in the common room."

Watching her go, Romy turned back to her essay and groaned.

"Want to just leave it?" Remus asked.

"Yeah," Romy nodded. "So what are you guys doing when you go to Hogsmeade?"

"Well I can only assume it'll just be James, Peter and I," he replied as he packed away his things. "Sirius will probably be with Marlene."

Romy never said anything. They both walked back to the common room and said their goodbyes to each other as Remus went up to the boy's dormitory. The common room was quiet but Romy managed to get the couch in front of the fire to herself. She curled up on it and pulled out her Potions book and tried to look busy.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting reading for, all she knew was that it was too late. Lily had been through and said goodnight and she was the only one left in the common room. Sitting her book down on the seat next to her she stretched and picked her bag up in order to put her book away. Only when she went to get it, the book was gone.

She stood up and pulled the cushions of the couch to see if it had slid down the side but it hadn't. She stood, hands on her hips and scanned the common room. There was no one else there but her. Where had it went?

Much to her disbelief, she turned back to sit on the couch, to think about where it could of went when she seen it floating right in front of her. Floating.

Cautiously, she put her hand on it and took it. She sat it in her bag then looked back to where it had been in front of her. She reached out again and suddenly felt cloth. She pulled it off, revealing a grinning Sirius Black.

"Want to go an adventure?"
