Sirius Walked down the hall, he looked at pictures of great Aurors of the decades, Hard to believe in only a few months he would out there fighting the dark arts. He had already been to his first spells lesson… it was very odd… they learned nothing really it was just an introduction. The rest of the young men walked down the hall ahead of him. "I heard this chick that teaches the Body Building is tough" piped up a skinny red haired guy with wide rimmed glasses that was walking behind Sirius "nah, I met her" Sirius turned around to say. "Really?" The red haired guy said looking at him as he continued to walk to the locker room. "Yeah… it will be fine… after all she's just a girl." Sirius replied now walking backwards. He liked acting immature with his peers, or so it seemed.
Sirius and the other trainees entered the body building room. It was a large square room, Mats on the floor and bars on the walls. He didn't like the look of this. He walked the room since he was early; the mats on the floor he could only guess were for the late people that must do push-ups for hours… poor saps. "ATTENTION!" a yell echoed through the room. All the young men lined up on the west wall, Sirius followed. The amazingly beautiful woman walked up again, Sirius felt his knees weaken. She strolled along the line looking each one of them in the eye. "Welcome to you first day of body building, I am General Rean and as you know it's important for a Auror to be strong and quick. I want you all to know," she said stopping in front of Sirius who went red and grasped the wall behind him to keep him from falling over in shock "That I will fail anyone and everyone I feel is a weakling." She looked at the Skinny red head Sirius had talked to in the hall who turned even redder in the face then Sirius. "And I mean that." All of them looked at her. "Now I want you all to do 10 laps around the room." she ordered sending them off. The young men jogged around the room, Sirius joined up with the red haired boy. "This isn't too hard. She's not to bad" The red haired boy shook his head "I guess not this should be ok." He replied. "What's your Name?" Sirius asked keeping his paces slower than normal to stay with his newfound friend. "Arthur Weasley… Yours?" He said striating his glasses, "Sirius, Sirius black." They continued around the room till their general blew her whistle.
"Did I tell you losers to go that slow? NO! On the floor 50 push ups all of you." She yelled pointing to the ground. Sirius jumped down landing near Arthur, "1, 2, 3," The general counted loudly "How can she do this to us?" Sirius panted. "I think I am going to die of a heart attack" Sirius heard someone say behind him "What's that Latinate?" The general said loudly. Everyone stopped and looked for who had mad he upset, not that's she wasn't by nature. "I-I-" he stuttered, "Back to your push ups add 50 more to yours." She said looking down at him "10, 11, 12, 13,"
They finished tried and out of breathe. Panting they all did 10 more laps and she let them stop. "5 minute break!" she yelled walking to her water bottle. Sirius watched her his whole 5-minute break panting hard, she was amazing to him, and her every move was just so poised and fine. She had it all; she was his kind of girl.
After the remaining 2 hours of torture in bodybuilding they were able to go home, Sirius placed his things in his locker showed and dressed. How was he going to survive this? 3-6 months of this?
He walked out side the busy street, the cool air felt so refreshing on his face. He went to where he had parked his bike only to find a ticket on the seat "30 gallons!" he yelled in shock. "God as if I had that much!" he said getting on his bike. He decided to stop in on James.
Sirius knocked on the door of the small apartment building, He heard James fumbling around. "I'm- *OUCH*- Coming!" he bellowed running to the door. Sirius's best friend and long time partner in mischief James Potter opened the door. His hair as usual was out of place all tuft up and fluffy from a shower. "Hey Sirius come on in" he said with relief. "I was worried you were Lily, I am taking her to dinner to night you know and I need to clean the place up before she comes so it's not too hard to" James paused to kick a pair of jeans across the room "walk in here." He finished. Sirius cleared an armchair of the books that were towered upon it and sat down.
"How did the Auror thing go?" James asked from his bathroom across the hall, trying the impossible deed of fixing his hair.
"Great, I am in the program. There is this real-uh- hot lady there." Sirius answered brightly
"Oh don't tell me you found another one." James said looking from the mirror to him
"Well yeah she's really great but one problem is she's sort of my General" Sirius sighed
"Oh yeah that's going to happen." James laughed
"I know it's not but still she's great! She's got everything anyone could ever want in a girl-"
"Yeah but she's your General!" James interrupted.
"Yeah… that's a problem." Sirius replied.
"Where are you taking Lil to night?" Sirius asked after a long pause.
"To dinner at a really nice place called 'The Jesters Wand'" James replied coming out of the bathroom
"I see," Sirius said Ideas sparking in his head
"Will you help me clean this place up?" James asked picking up a few bowls of cereal from the floor.
"Sure" Sirius said shortly and helped James clean his mess he called home.
After an hour they finally finished. "Lil will be here any sec I need to get dressed!" James said running to his room. "Well I need to get going anyways, Bye have a good time!" Sirius shouted "BYE! *OUCH*" James replied and Sirius let himself out.
Sirius was thinking all the way home; He wanted to ask General Rean out but how? Plus seeing as he didn't know her name that wouldn't be right… how could he get to know her better? He decided not to go home at all, how was he supposed to do this? He decided to go get a drink at the local wizarding bar/dance club, maybe he would meet some girl there that would take his mind off of General Reans amazing curves and her genuine poise, but somehow he really didn't think this was likely.
He walked down to 'The Cauldron Bubble' and found a seat at the bar. The music was good and the drink was a refreshing but no matter how he tried nothing could get her out of his mind so he left there and went for a walk. He walked along the streets of Wizarding London and looked at each the shops. The street lamps all turned on, and he was still walking. He stopped in front of the ministry of magic. He looked up at it. His hands in his jacket pockets he walked up the steps, not really knowing why. He walked in, it was quiet and still very few people still inside.
He walked to the body building room door and peered inside, there she was. He was so scared, and then he realized she was coming his way. He hid in the stairwell. She passed carrying weights and ropes he only guessed were for their lesson tomorrow. He couldn't believe he had come here. He snuck his way out of the area quickly or so he thought till, "What are you doing still here?" He froze, the sound of her sweet voice, it wasn't as stern as normal it was soft and sweet. He turned around,
"I-I forgot something in my locker I needed" Sirius smiled weakly
"Be serious I can tell your lying." She said looking at him carefully
"How did you know my name?" He asked Surprised
"What?" She looked at him questioningly, "I don't"
"Oh you mean Serious! Not Sirius!" Sirius smacked his forehead for his stupid ness
She looked puzzled "What do you mean?"
"My name is Sirius, in short, what's yours?" He asked not believing his bravery
"Vera, so your NAME is Sirius? Are you Serious- I mean oops" she smiled
Sirius nodded slowly, he had done it he had made her smile for the first time, and she was beautiful doing this too.
"Well I better get back to work, sorry Sirius" she said walking back to her office.
Sirius nodded and watched her go back to her office, he sank to the ground leaning against the wall… he was in shock just like every other time her thought about her, He had never felt quite like this. Never did he feel like one small smile from a girl he thought was sexy would make his world spin again, never did he feel that he needed to see a girls face to live and survive in this world, he had to get to know her better, her just had to.
He walked slowly back home, not about to stop thinking about the way her hair was or how her eyes looked when she smiled her rare smile or how her finesse and poise made her all she was, How her blackish brown bangs waved in front of her eyes, how she spoke, how she yelled. Everything about her had a hold of him like no other girls ways had before, before now it was just a good body and nice face that was to matter to him but now he must have been in true love because this was different, a very different feeling. That girl has grasped him, Vera; she had him head over heels.
