"Don't worry about it James." Said Sirius, "It'll be okay. She doesn't like him. Even if she ever did he would never like her. She's half muggle. You know for a fact that Slytherin's hate muggles with all their being. It's just the way things are. Now lets go get ourselves some food."

They went down to the kitchenery when all of a sudden two girls came walking out of a hall. Obviously Hufflepuff's thought Sirius.

The one with the long brown hair waved to them and hurried to join them.

"Hey, what are you guys doing out so late?" said Persephone with a great big smile on her face.

"We were getting a bit bored watching everyone in the common room working." Replied Sirius.

James still hadn't said anything. Neither had Kaitlyn.

Persephone saw that neither of them said anything and not knowing anything about Lily because both Persephone and Kaitlyn were both 2 years younger than James and Sirius decided it would be very cute if they got together. "Hey James. You okay?" asked Persephone.

James was careful trying not to meet with any ones eyes. He was still caught up that Lily had said that to him. It was his problem. He cared about her. He wanted the guy she liked to be him but as things looked, it was going to be Snape.

Sirius answered for James, "He's fine. Just a little something is bothering him." Sirius desperately trying to change the subject said, "And who's this? I don't think I've ever seen you before." Motioning towards Kaitlyn.

"Oh, this is Kaitlyn. She's a first year just like me. The whole group hangs with her. She's cool but she likes to study a lot." Said Persephone.

Although Kaitlyn didn't look like she cared much about her appearance there was something about her that made her very beautiful. And Sirius saw this. "Hey Kaitlyn" he smiled at her and stuck out his hand for a handshake.

"Um, Hi." said Kaitlyn slightly blushing reaching for his hand.

"Sirius. My name is Sirius Black."

"Oh, okay, Hi Sirius." Said Kaitlyn and she shook Sirius's hand. She couldn't help feeling something there but she was too embarrassed at the moment to do anything about it.

"Uh, are you guys going to be shaking hands forever? Lets go get some food." Interrupted Persephone. And she grabbed Sirius by the arm and looped her own hand into his arm and walked off to the picture of the bowl of fruit in another hall.

Sirius didn't turn around. He couldn't look at Kaitlyn. He knew she was beautiful and he had never ever in his entire 14 years of his life ever felt that before. Right when Kaitlyn had touched his hand there was something there. But he wasn't going to think about it. It couldn't be. He was not going to get himself all caught up in love like James is.

James and Kaitlyn followed Persephone and Sirius to the kitchenery quietly. Kaitlyn was bright red and James looked as if he could not be in a more uncomfortable position. This made Kaitlyn blush even more. James didn't like her. Maybe he thought she was ugly. Oh my, what if.

Her thoughts were broken when Persephone said, "You guys wait here. We'll bring out the food." With her arm still wrapped around Sirius's she giggled and entered the kitchenery with Sirius.

Great thought James; first I get yelled at by Lily now I'm stuck with some silly first year who probably thinks I'm the meanest person alive. James still hadn't brought himself to look at Kaitlyn yet. He was still too distraught about Lily.

He saw that Kaitlyn slowly walked away. She was looking around the hall. Looking at pictures and statues around the hall. He looked up at her. She was very pretty. She didn't look like she cared much about the way she looked. She had big round glasses that covered almost all of her face. Her hair was carelessly held together by an elastic. But she had an amazing bone structure. She looked well different. She didn't need make up to be pretty. She wasn't like the other girls. She was naturally pretty. Other girls needed to apply make up and do their hair and fuss about everything. He just starred at her for a while. For a moment, everything seemed better. He totally forgot about Lily. He forgot what she said to him. He forgot how upset he was when she said that to him. What did she say to him? Oh he couldn't remember now.

Kaitlyn felt someone looking at her. The only person in the hall was James. She ignored it. Pretending she didn't notice anything. She didn't know how to react. She wasn't confident like Persephone. She wasn't beautiful like her. She didn't know how to walk or talk or even eat like her. What would she say to him? Uh, stop looking at me?! No way. That was so childish. She turned away realising that she was started to turn a slight pink colour again.

Just then Sirius and Persephone left the Kitchenary with bags of food. Also laughing like they were having a great time.

Kaitlyn turned and without realizing it she had turned too far. Instead of her eyes meeting the two laughing individuals she met James's eyes. They were looking at her, no, looking through her. She slowly walked over to Persephone helping her with the food. She ignored James. She couldn't let her know she noticed him looking at her. She didn't know what to do.
