Sirius walked idly down the busy corridor, shaking his hair out of his eyes as he hitched his bag over his shoulder and made his way down the first set of stairs. His eyes scanned the crowd of milling students as he looked for his friends.

"Ooooh, look! It's Sirius Black!" shrieked a girl, and Sirius looked around, finding a group of 3rd year girls huddled together and watching him with big eyes.

"Good afternoon, ladies," Sirius said smoothly, and put one of his famous grins on as he winked at the staring girls. He could hear them sigh loudly in pleasure as he walked past them.

I must look good today, Sirius thought, his grin growing bigger. Ah, heck, I look good everyday. He laughed softly to himself as he slipped his hands into his jeans pockets and strolled down a few more sets of stairs to his next class, which was held in the dungeons.

It was then that, as he was whistling a nameless tune to himself, when he turned a corner and nearly walked into Lucius Malfoy.

"Watch where you're going, Black," snarled Malfoy, as he pushed Sirius away in disgust. He wiped his hands on his robes as if Sirius had some disease on him.

"I'd say the same to you," Sirius sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that your Master fills your head so much that you can't watch where your walking."

"I'd watch it if I were you, Black," snapped Malfoy, glaring at Sirius with the deepest loathing as he pushed his way past him without another word.

"Idiot," Sirius mumbled, as he stepped into his Potions class.

It was a surprise to see James seated at one of the back desks (where they usually sat) because James was almost never on time for Potions.

"Hey, mate," James said, as Sirius took the seat beside James. Today they were having double Potions with the Hufflepuff class.

"Hey," Sirius replied, as he began taking out his books. He glanced over at a few of the Hufflepuff girls who were giggling with their heads together, sneaking looks at him.

"Looks like you got some of your fans in class today," James smirked. He seemed in a better mood then the night before. Sirius grinned slightly as he searched his eyes along the rows of students, and his eyes fell on the one girl he really wanted to look at.

Hazel Greenwood was sitting sideways in her chair, one piece of her light brown, wavy hair wrapped around a finger as she twirled it occasionally, listening to one of her friend's chatting animatedly about something interesting. Her eyes were big, just the way Sirius liked them, and they were bright green and always seemed to shine. Sirius had liked Hazel for almost 4 months now, but never had gotten up the courage to ask her out. (* A/N: Aww, ever cute :) *)

James nudged him. "Nice choice," he said, seeing who Sirius was watching.

"I might ask her out," Sirius said, breaking his gaze away from Hazel as she gasped and clamped a hand over her mouth at what her friend had said.

"Go for it," James replied, as he fished for his quill and parchment in his bag.

"After class I will." He stole another glance of Hazel before he pulled out his own quill and parchment, and started to write down the ingredient's of today's potion.

-------------------------------------------------------

After class, just as the Gryffindors and the Hufflepuff's were piling out of the classroom, eager to be out of the cold dungeons, he nudged his way through a few people and caught Hazel by the arm.

Hazel looked back at him with those gorgeous green eyes, and Sirius said, "Can I talk to you, Hazel?" he asked.

"Sure," Hazel replied, a look of confusion on her face as she looked back at her friends and said to them, "I'll meet you in the Great Hall, I'll be a few minutes."

She then turned back to Sirius as the corridor just outside the Potions classroom became empty, and James looked back at him, gave him thumbs up and mouthed to him, "Good luck!" before he started up the stairs.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Hazel asked, watching him with those eyes, her voice like heaven to his ears.

Sirius gathered up all of his courage and asked, "Hazel, I would really like it if you would be my girlfriend."

Hazel's expressionless face turned into a smile. "I would love to be your girlfriend."

Sirius smiled back and said, "That's great." He glanced at her books and said, "Let me carry those for you."

Hazel offered thanks as she handed her books to him, and Sirius gathered them in one arm. He offered her a grin as Hazel slipped her hand into his and they walked up the staircase together.

A/N: So guys, how did you like this chapter? I know, it wasn't as long as I promised, but it sure was a change, wasn't it? :) (* It was a little off topic of the whole L&J thing, but I'll be going right back to it in the next chappie. Just thought I'd put a little Sirius in to add some fun ;) *)
