The thought that Sirius Black could actually like her kept Danielle wondering the whole train ride to Hogwarts. Chloe also had her mind elsewhere.

"Don't you think that Gilderoy has the most amazing eyes you've ever seen?" questioned Chloe, with a dreamy look in her eyes. Danielle continued to look out the window.

"No, I actually think those flowers are prettier," she said as she pointed out the window.

"Oh, gee, thanks for the sarcasm," said Chloe, rolling her eyes.

"Anytime," said Danielle.

"So, still thinking about Sirius," said Chloe, searching in her pocket.

"Yup, I-" she started but was cut off by Chloe.

"OH NO!" said Chloe. Danielle looked startled.

"Let me guess..you lost Gilderoy's picture?" said Danielle.

"Yes!" said Chloe, with a look of panic on her face.

"I honestly don't know why you carry his picture around. I don't keep one of Sirius in my pocket! And besides..Gilderoy makes me gag!" said Danielle, making a face. "Maybe it fell out of your pocket when you pushed me into Sirius," said Danielle manner-of-factly.

Chloe took off down the isle. Danielle laughed and waited for Chloe.

* * * * * * * *

When Chloe returned, a half hour later, she found her friend sleeping with her head propped up against the window.

"Danielle? Danielle, wake up. We're here!" said Chloe as she shook her friend's shoulders.

"I'm up, I'm up!" said Danielle yawning and stretching her arms.

"Let the magic begin!" said Chloe, smirking, as she pulled open the compartment door.

* * * * * * * * * * Danielle and Chloe followed everyone up to the Hogwarts entrance. James Potter, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Sirius Black were walking further up and Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy were further behind.

Once in the Great Hall, Danielle and Chloe sat next to each other.

"Why don't we go sit next to Sirius and his friends?" asked Chloe.

"NO! Let's not!" said Danielle.

Before Danielle could say anything else, a black haired 16 year old tapped her on the back.

"Hey Danielle," Sirius said casually.

"Sirius, hi, how are you?" said Danielle, her face reddening.

Sirius laughed and said, "I'm fine. Why don't you and your friend come eat with us?" said Sirius smiling.

Danielle raised her eyebrow. "You want us to eat with you?"

"Yeah, if you don't mind," he said.

"Uh..." said Danielle. Chloe could see this was going nowhere and decided to talk for her.

"We'd love too," said Chloe.

Chloe and Danielle followed Sirius to the end of the Gryffindor table where Peter, James, and Lupin were sitting.

"James, Peter, Remus, this is Danielle and her friend..um..what's your name?" Sirius asked.

"Chloe," she said.

"And this is Chloe," said Sirius.

"Nice to meet you two," they said.

"Yeah, Sirius has told us loads about you Da-" started James, but Sirius was quick and kicked James in the leg.

"OUCH!" said James startled.

Danielle smiled. "So, what class do you guys have first?" asked Danielle, starting to feel better.

"Ugh, Potions," said Remus.

"Us too," said Danielle.

Dumbledore tapped on his goblet.

"Welcome back," he said.

"It's good to be back," Sirius whispered into Danielle's ear, "Since I get to meet you."
