*~*~The Kiss of New Beginnings~*~*

"Everyone line up and wait patiently right here." said McGonagall, "You will be sorted shortly."
After everyone had lined up, Professor McGonagall led them up the middle row in the Great Hall. Everybody stared at her as she walked at the back of the line with a frown on her face. Everyone immediately knew they had a Death Eater amongst them.
A Gryffindor seventh-year passed her a piece of paper when she walked by. It said:
'Why are you here? Are you going to hurt us? I thought Death Eaters weren't allowed here. Oh, lemme guess. "Special" "Permission"? I'm right aren't I?
--Sirius'
When they were up at the top of the room, Kat looked back at the boy. 'He's cute,' she thought, 'Wait, I have a boyfriend. I shouldn't be thinking about that. But, DAMN! He's so cute. Almost as cute as Alex.'
"Fudge, Amy!" McGonagall said, making her jump.
She walked up to the stool where the hat was placed almost reluctantly. She placed the old worn hat on her head and it said in her ear, "Ahhhh, a Death Eater. Well, this should come as no shock to you. But you would go best in Slytherin." 'No,' she thought, 'No I don't want Slytherin unless it's completely necessary' "Ahhhh, well then, never heard that before from a Death Eater. Hmmmmm, well, Ravenclaw would do you nicely. But I must insist you go to Slytherin" 'Alright, Slytherin it is then.' "Ahhhh, good. Then, you shall be SLYTHERIN!"
The Slytherin table erupted into cheers. But all she could think about was that guy. Sirius was his name? 'Well, then Sirius, you have no idea who you're dealing with.' she thought with a grin.
Sirius stared at her all through dinner and the rest of the sorting. 'I wonder if she has a boyfriend yet.' he wondered, 'Maybe I should become friends with her.'
Kat watched Sirius through the corner of her eye. She could tell he was watching her. She had heard his thoughts too. 'I can read minds dumbass. So, watch what you think.' She turned and looked at him. He smiled and she smiled back. 'Wow. She has a beautiful smile. Wonderful eyes I could stare at all day. Just the right shade of green-gray. I wish she wasn't a Slytherin. And a first year. But she is sooooooo hot.' he thought. She blushed a lil' after she turned away and Kilia (AN: pronounced Keel-ee-a), her friend, stared at her for a minute.
"Who's got your eye?" she said, knowing all-too-well what she was thinking.
"No one. I'm just thinking."
"Sure."
"What, you don't believe me?"
"Nope."
"Fine." She pulls the note out of her pocket and hands it to her. " Got this when I passed the Gryffindor table. Sirius. That's who's got my eye."
"You do know he's a seventh-year?"
"Yeah, so?" she raised a brow at her friend. "Kilia, I have been known to get an idea and go with it. A little matter of age won't stop me."
"Fine. Whatever you say Kat."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the feast was over, all the students poured out of the Great Hall and headed towards their common rooms. As soon as Kat exited the Great Hall, she was pulled off to the side by God knows who and into an empty corridor.
She looked around. "Where am I?" Her eyes met with Sirius's and he noticed they turned from a remarkable green to dark gray, almost black.
"I have questions for you." Sirius finally said.
"Yeah, like what?"
"Why did you come to Hogwarts?" he asks seriously.
"Do I need a reason?"
"No. Not necessarily. But you of all people. I mean. You are a Death Eater. No doubt?" He waited for her to nod, then continued. "Hogwarts is a safe place. But we cannot trust people like you that fast."He inched a little bit closer to her. He was a bit short for his age, she noted.
"I understand why you don't trust me. You probably never will unless you hear my side of the story. Not ALL Death Eaters are bad." she said in the sexiest tone he has ever heard.
He was standing only a breath away from her now. He liked the way she smelled. It was a sort of weird scent for a girl to have. "I would love to hear your side." His breath was a hoarse whisper.
Before she could say anything, he kissed her. He had never kissed a girl this passionately. It was weird but he enjoyed every minute of it. He broke the kiss and watched her as she opened her eyes.
"Wow." was all he could say.
She stared into his eyes and could see he was as shocked by the kiss as she was. "What was that for?" she asked in a soft whisper. Her eyes had turned back to their marvelous green-gray color.
"I don't know." he whispered back. "It felt right at the moment." After a short pause he said, "I want you so bad."
She stared at him and saw that he was not lying. His eyes burned with want and desperate need. "I want you too but we can't."
"I know. Sadly, I know" he said sounding very sad indeed. He sighed deeply.
He let her go of the firm hold he had her in during the kiss and took a step back.
"I'm sorry." he said. "I couldn't control myself. Normally I can but my brain got all fuzzy."
'Not as fuzzy as mine.' she thought. "I wish we could stay here all night." she said.
"Me too........," he paused. "Why can't we? I mean no one knows we are here and no teacher knows about this room. I don't see why we can't."
She knew right away that she had fallen in love with Sirius. 'No, don't think that. I barely know him.'
He stared into her eyes. He has such wonderful eyes. A bluish-green color. His hair is a light black color.
He touched her side gently. "Sirius." she moaned as he slid his hands around her body. He leaned down and kissed her again except more deeply.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some hours later, Kat woke in Sirius's arms. They were sitting in a chair she hadn't had noticed earlier. She moved a bit and Sirius moaned and opened his eyes. She smiled and he smiled back.
"What time is it?" she said groggily.
"I dunno. You wanna go outside the castle?" he said have-heartedly.
"Sure. But, where?"
"I know the perfect spot for us." he said. He kissed her cheek and then the side of her neck. He let her go reluctantly.
She fixed her robes when she got up and stared Sirius in the eyes. "When do we have to be at breakfast?"
"Who cares, as long as I can stay with you I'll be happy." He grinned and got up and wrapped his arms around her. "How about a walk around the lake? That's always fun as long as we don't get caught. I trust you're used to sneaking around?"
"Yeah. I grew up having to sneak around my father."
"Your father is the Minister of Magic, right?"
"Yes."
"Wicked awesome."
"It's not fun at all. Too many rules."
He looked at her in shock. "But your family is the most famous family in the entire wizarding world!"
"You'll learn soon enough that fame isn't everything in My world."
"Why do you call it 'Your world'?"
"Er........I can't tell you." she said in a hushed tone.
"Okay. Let's go take our walk, then."
The walk around the lake took up the rest of the time before breakfast started. They were the first to arrive at breakfast.
"Well," said Dumbledor. "I never expected this." Both of them watched him as he scowled at Kat. "I never thought I'd see the day when a Slytherin and a Gryffindor spending the entire night together. Tut-tut. For staying out past curfew, I must take five points from both of you. For getting along and showing that Slytherins and Gryffindors can be friends, I award each of you 15 points. Now, go on and eat your breakfasts."
"Yes, sir." Sirius said with much praise in his voice.
Once they were away from Dumbledor, Kat asked, "What was that about?"
"I don't know." Sirius answered in a low whisper.
Once they were seated at their own house tables, after sharing a piece of toast of course, they began talking to their friends.
"Kat?!" said Kilia. "Where were you last night?!" She almost pounces on Kat.
"Kilia, chill, I was busy." From across the room, Sirius caught her eye. She smiles to herself. "Kilia?"
"What? Are you going to tell me where you were or not?"
"No, I won't tell you where I was. I want you to do something for me. You know some of those Gryffindors, don't you? Like, all of Sirius's friends?"
"Yes. Why?" Kilia eyed her curiously.
"I was wondering if you could ask them a little about him. Like, his favorite food, color, animal and what his hobbies are and who he hangs out with. Oh, and one more thing. Find out if he has a girlfriend."
"Sure. Okay, Kat."
