A/N: The first chapter is about Sirius and Katie. Lily and James will come in next chapter.
Chapter One:
Katie Miller waved goodbye to her best friend Lily Evans as she disappeared in the crowd of Hogwarts students making their way home for the Christmas Holidays. Her brown hair blew behind her as she began to walk along the platform back to school. She walked awhile before her hazel eyes came upon two boys. They were both tall, and had black hair, although their appearances were very different. One had messy hair, hazel eyes, and glasses, James Potter. Lily despised him, and Katie often had to listen to her rant about how arrogant he was. The other had black hair that fell on his face, and icy clue eyes. Both were extremely popular, and sought after, and both were Marauders.
The Marauders were an infamous prankster group that always caused the Slytherins mayhem. They were the most popular group in fourth year, and consisted of four members. The previously mentioned James, and Sirius, and there accomplices: Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. Remus was a shy sandy haired, blue eyed, tired looking boy, and peter was short, and portly with blond hair and watery blue eyes. Peter often dwelled in the shadow of his three friends. He wasn't brave like James, fun like Sirius, or sweet and caring like Remus. Still he was a Marauder, and therefore respected.
Sirius waved goodbye to James, as James would also, like Lily, be going away for the holidays. Sirius caught Katie's eye and directed a small smile towards her. Katie's eyes immediately went to her shoes, and she did not return the smile.
Katie and Sirius used to be good friends, see as their families were both purebloods and (they held the same bad viiews against muggles) they were always together before Hogwarts. Both of the had always been the odd ones out in their families because they both disagreed with their parents pure- blood ways and ideas. Nothing could separate the, but upon entering their third year at Hogwarts Sirius became extremely popular, and Katie had only a few friends.
As a result of this Sirius started to ignore her, and often join in on making fun of her. Apparently he chose his popularity over her and therefore ditched her. This greatly upset Katie and for the past year she had been sad without Sirius. Every now and then Sirius would catch her eye and smile, or mouth 'I'm sorry' to her, but Katie ignored these gestures.
Sirius watched Katie avert her eyes to the ground after the smile he had given her. For a second a hurt look took his face, but he knew he deserved worse than a cold shoulder. It wasn't that he didn't like Katie, because he did, a lot, but he was popular and had an image to keep up. He looked around and realized that they were the only students still making their way up to the school.
Taking a deep breath he called out, "Katie wait," but instead of slowing down she quickened her pace. Sirius sighed and ran after her on the pathway up to Hogwarts. Katie tried to stay ahead of him, but he was a beater on the Gryffindore quiditch team, and easily caught up to her. He grabbed her arm, and spun around to face him.
Her eyes were still on the ground when she snarled, "What do you want?"
Sirius froze, What did he want? "I.I.," was all he managed to stutter before she cut hi off.
She raised her hazel eyes to meet his blue ones, "Goodbye!" she spat, and turned on her heal.
Sirius felt a wave of sadness wash over him, but quickly shook it off, and entered the castle after her.
Katie entered her dorm feeling bad about being mean to Sirius, but she felt he deserved it. How dare he try to speak to her after a year!
She looked around her dorm and realized she was the only 4th year Gryffindore girl, and Sirius was the only bot left too. 'Great' she thought sarcastically.
One week later Katie sat in the common room working on her DADA homework. It was late, but Katie would rather stay in the common room then go upstairs. She hated being alone, Voldemort was growing stronger, and she often had nightmares of him. Therefor the thought of going to sleep, and waking up with no one there, was not a comforting thought.
Katie kept on working until she heard someone else enter the common room. It was Sirius. She immediately looked back down at her work at an attempt to ignore him. But Sirius took no notice of her attitude, and sat himself next to Katie on the couch.
"Do you always stay up this late? I've noticed you up late every night this week," he said
Katie simply nodded in response.
"Why?" he questioned.
"I don't like to be alone, because of Voldemort and all. Katie surprised herself at how easily that came out to someone she had despised for a year.
"Oh," Sirius began, "Well you could come stay with me up in my dorm, everyone else in gone" he said like it was no big deal.
Katie shot hi a look and was about to reply no extremely rudely, but then she looked into his eyes and completely melted. Maybe he honestly wanted to repair their friendship. She wanted so badly to tell him off but his eyes were so honest. Her stomach turned, and before she could stop her self a "Yes" escaped her lips.
"Great," Sirius said, and flashes a genuine smile to show that he meant it. Without a word he grabbed her hand and pulled her upstairs, leaving all her homework forgotten on the couch.
The boy's room, like the girls, was decorated in Gryffindore colors, but their room was much messier. Once in the room Sirius sprawled out on his bed, and Katie headed for the one next to his, but Sirius grabbed her around the waste and pulled her onto his bed. He began tickling her, and sending her into endless fits of laughter. It felt just like old times.
After Katie managed to catch her breath she whispered, "I miss this."
"I know," Sirius began, "I miss you. I'm so sorry about this past year Katie."
Katie looked him in the eyes and knew he meant it. Part of her wanted to push him off and run, but she couldn't, she missed him too much. "It's ok," she soothed. And that was the truth, everything seemed right, when she was with him.
She closed her eyes, and began drifting off to sleep when she felt Sirius kiss her head and whisper, "Love you," so softly she barely heard it.
