Alexandra leaned against the tree and sighed. Four years, FOUR YEARS have passed since the first time she met the Marauders. Many things have changed in these three years. She was not the childish girl and the Marauders aren't the wimpy kids anymore. She has grown up and was best friends with the Marauders and Lily.
But one thing hasn't changed, though. Alexandra's secret is still hidden in her heart. Alexandra learnt in the History of Magic class and the Daily Prophet that her father is a villain. A villain that killed hundreds and tore families apart. Alexandra wanted to tell someone about it but was afraid that her friends would abandon her. She could tell Remus, who was discovered to be a werewolf, but surely he will tell someone; she could tell Lily, but Alexandra was scared that she will inform Dumbledore about it; she could tell James, but he is very popular and she can't guarantee that he won't spread it out; she could tell Peter, but he would surely talk to James or Sirius about it.
True, Alexandra had considered telling Sirius about it for a while. Sirius is her closest friend in the Marauders. When she's sad, Sirius would notice it and try to calm her; when she has good news, Sirius would shake her hand and beam. Alexandra had been struggling for months, and she decided finally that she would tell him.
Alexandra stood up and spotted Sirius near the Great Lake. So she sprinted towards it as quickly as she could. 'Oh hi,' Sirius smiled as she sat down, 'What's the rush? I saw you running towards me like a maniac.' He smirked at her. Oh wow, Alexandra thought, the smirk just made him more handsome-wait, what am I thinking? Business, Arlington!
'It's about a secret,' Alexandra explained, 'I don't want you to tell anyone, even James, Remus and Peter. Cross your heart and die, OK?' Sirius nodded. 'It's just that...' Alexandra's voice trailed off. 'I mean, my...my...OK! My dad is Voldemort,' she finished. Alexandra could see that Sirius is doing some deep thinking.
'Have you told anyone about this?' he asked. Alexandra shook her head. Sirius furrowed his brow, then smiled, 'Your secret is safe with me.' Alexandra grinned and yawned. She had been thinking about the secret at night for over a week. Sirius Transfigured his cape into a blanket and told her to sleep. 'You need some rest,' he said firmly. Alexandra laid down and closed her eyes, a moment later, she drifted off to sleep.
Sirius stared at the peaceful girl next to him. She was very beautiful and had so many things in common with him. Firstly, they are both misunderstood. Sirius's parents had the Pureblood-Mania which made everyone think that he would hate Muggle-borns. Alexandra's father is Voldemort, which might make others think that she is dangerous and cruel.
Sirius glanced at his watch. 'Blimey! It's already half past four!' he whispered to himself. He shook Alexandra, but she still had her eyes closed. 'Alexandra,' he murmured. Alexandra merely turned away. Sirius knew that if he doesn't wake Alexandra up then he might be late for dinner, so he lowered his head and kissed her.
Sirius licked her lips slowly and tenderly. For all of the girl's lips he kissed, Alexandra's was the softest. Sirius heard Alexandra moan softly and her eyes snap open.
When Alexandra saw Sirius, her mouth dropped open. She remembered someone licking her lips, and remembered that she moaned, but she couldn't remember that Sirius was the one that did it.
Sirius was flushed as Alexandra's eyes become as big as oranges. 'Comon,' he mumbled. Alexandra licked her lips absent-mindedly and Sirius got a mad urge to kiss her, but he managed to control himself. He turned away, leaving Alexandra bewildered and confused.

So, what do you guys think about this chapter? Sneak a peek of the next one: CHEATER!
A few weeks had passed since Sirius and Alexandra's first kiss, but Alexandra was still thinking about it. She found that Sirius kept brushing past her whenever they met, and he always pulled her hand when he wanted to show her something, even though it was as common as a bird. Alexandra suspected that those were all excuses to touch her.
