Disclaimer:I own nothing belonging to the world of J.K Rowling. However, Mariam Millian
is mine.
A/N:Hello again! Thanks for the reviews:Tani, fuzzyfishbowl, and LiLUmBrA(I'm reading
your fic, but I still didn't get to chapter ten so I could review, but don't worry, I will, lol).
This chapter is longer than the last and hopefully better. I'm hoping to get better with
every peace I write. Remember, this is my first fic so please R&R. Enjoy :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not much happened between me and Mariam during my third year. Well, nothing more
than stolen glances and friendly smiles anyway.
I saw her in the common room, at breakfast, during break, and at dinner. I even caught a
glimpse of her in the hallways here and there.
"Why don't you just ask her out?", James asked me wearily one day, as he caught me
looking her way during breakfast.
"First of all, you git, I haven't even said so much as a word to her. Second of all, ask her
out when and where?"
"Ask her to go to Hogsmeade with you, there's a trip this weekend," Pettigrew piped in.
"She's a first year, she can't go to Hogsmeade!"
Pettigrew practically squealed.
Remus, as usual, seemed extremely interested in proofreading his homework.
Fourth year, my chance came.
"There will be a winter Ball this year, as you all know, dress robes are a requirement....
.....", McGonnagal's voice trailed on.
The boys groaned while the girls giggled uncontrollably and exchanged excited whispers.
The Winter Ball would be held the day before the Christmas holidays so everyone
could attend. Not that it mattered to me, I always stayed at Hogwarts for the holidays
anyway.
I already knew exactly who I was going to a ask.
I waited for her outside the Great Hall after dinner and told my friends to go ahead of me.
She finally emerged, surrounded by two friends.
"Er-Mariam, could I talk to you for a minute?", I asked. My heart started to beat ten times
faster than it's normal pace.
"Um, sure," She answered, blushing furiously as her two friends giggled uncontrollably.
We walked a little so we wouldn't be in danger of being overheard.
I was never this close to her before, she was right by my side!
She stopped walking when we were far enough, and I followed her lead.
She looked up at me and asked,"You wanted to speak with me?"
Her face was even more beautiful close up. Her sparkling black eyes, surrounded by
their long, full lashs were beyond imagination; her little brownish glossed lips; her long,
silky dark-as-night hair, and that beauty mark(mole) below the right section of her lips.
She was just perfect.............
"Sirius?"
I snapped out of my trance, mentally kicking myself.
"Sorry," I muttered, "Er- Mariam, I was wondering if you'd like to go to the Winter Ball
with me?", I finally got it out.
"Oh," She blushed furiously and looked down at the floor.
"I'd love to..........but I already promised someone I would go with them, Samuel, Samuel
Levesque."
My heart sank.
"Oh, ok," Was all I could manage to get out.
Samuel Levesque was the seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, he was in the
same year as me.
"I'm sorry," She said in a small voice.
"No problem.Er- do you want me to walk you back?", I asked, trying to sound indifferent
about the whole matter.
She nodded her head in approval, still looking down at the floor.
We got off the touchy subject of the Winter Ball, and started to talk about Quidditch. To
my surprise, she was a Quidditch fan, and she wanted to try out as a Gryffindor chaser
in her fourth year. I was already a keeper for the team.
She was very nice and extremely easy to talk to. My admiration for her went beyond her
beauty.
When we got to the common room, we bade eachother good night and went off to our
seperate dromotories.
I went up to find James in a very rotten state.
"He got told off real bad by Evans," Remus explained, "He asked her to go to the Winter
Ball with him and well, you can figure out the rest......"
I ended up going to the Winter ball with a pretty Ravenclaw girl named Margret Bareney.
She had reddish-brown hair, and hazel eyes.
I ended up dating her all throughout my fourth year. She was a nice girl, but she was too
school obsessed. We were pretty much like any other Hogwarts couple, snoggling here
and there, walking to classes together, etc. We never really went beyond that.
Mariam dated Samuel Levesque all throughout her second year. But, eventually they
broke up. From what I heard, it was because of Samuel's jealousy and overprotective
nature with her. I couldn't blame him, who wouldn't be that way if they were dating
someone like her........
During the summer Margret and I lost contact. When I came back for fifth year, she
wanted to talk to me right away.
"Sirius, I'm really sorry, but over the summer, you know how we lost contact? Well, I
kinda got together with someone else. I'm really sorry, It just happened-"
"It's ok," I said simply.
I didn't even bother to ask who. I didn't care. There was no real emotional involvement
between me and her, it was just a relationship of convenience.
I was free, but Mariam was not. Yes, I still had her on my mind, even after a year with
someone else.
Anyway, I found out she was dating a Hufflepuff third year by the name of Aaron Avon.
They could be seen together in Hogmeade, holding hands, shopping, and even
snoggling eachother. I in turn started dating a Hufflepuff fifth year, like myself,
named Hanna Helmer. She was a pretty girl, with blonde hair and blue eyes. But, to my
distaste, she was like any other pretty girl. Despite that, I still continued to date her. You
could say it was another case like Margret.
My fifth year was coming to an end, and finally, it was the day of my last O.W.L. I, unlike
many others, wasn't worried at all. I was sure I aced each one.
During break, Snivellus showed up.
"Ahh, Snivellus," I heard James say.
As usual, I accompanied James in his confrontation, Remus pretended to be extremely
interested in the parchment that was in his hand, and Peter watched us as if we were
gods performing a sacred whatever.
Before we could even start, Snivellus started to mutter something and a burst of white
light shot out from his wand, aiming right for James, who ducked. Now it was aiming for
a bystander................Mariam.
I threw myself before her and muttered the countercurse. It shot itself back at Snivellus
throwing him a couple of feet back and then slamming him on the ground.
I turned to Mariam and asked her, "Are you ok?"
"Yes.........thank you........thank you so much," She sounded kind of shocked. I Guess
seeing whut happened to Snivellus and knowing it could have been her kinda got to her.
Avon ran over and started hugging her and fussing about the matter.
"Thanks alot Black, I owe you one," He said.
"Don't mention it"
He and Mariam walked back to the castle, together. My heart ached at this sight.
On the last day of school, while me and Hanna were sitting outside(she kept nagging
me to spend more time with her), Mariam came up to me.
"Er-Sirius, can I speak with you for a minute-er-sorry Hanna, you could stay-", She said
quickly.
"No-that's ok-I'll just-", and she left, reluctantly.
"I'm sorry," She muttered.
"It's ok, you didnt do anything wrong," I assured her.
"Um, I just wanted to thank you about the other day......."
"It was no problem, Snivellus is always causing stuff like that, that greasy git."
She giggled at that statement.
"Well I uh-guess I'll see you next year," She told me.
"Sure."
And with that she left.
I knew this wasn't going to sit well with Hanna, but I never imagined..........
"I saw the way you were looking at her! Do you think I'm a half-wit!", She yelled.
"Hanna, calm down-"
"Dont you tell me to calm down! Forget it, if you like her so much just date her why don't
you!"
And with that, she stormed out of the Great Hall leaving practically every head turned in
my direction.
I glanced at Mariam, and she looked away quickly, blushing.
Did she know that Hanna had been talking about her?
I wished things with me and her would turn for the better sixth year, and did I get my
wish or not..........
"Ok everyone, listen up," Corey, our Quidditch team captain, told us before our first
practice that year. "I got us a new chaser this year since Jin's gone. Now I didn't do the
usual tryouts because this girl was reccomended by Mcgonagall and I saw her play
myself. She's exellent. And here she is now, Millian!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: You might be wondering why I went through all that in one chapter. Well, The three
years I skimmed through aren't really Sirius/Mariam. I figured if they went out so early,
when they were so inexperienced, there was a slim chance that they would ever come
close to mairrage. Therefore, I gave each of them time to grow before They got together.
I also didn't want to just skip these year, because some signifigant stuff does happen be-
tween the two of them. So, I went through it. I put alot of emphasis on when he first saw
her because well, you know how special that moment can be. Dont worry there will be
action starting from next chapter. I'll update soon :)
Read? Now review!
