AN: I am working very hard to make these chapters go by faster! I have school coming up, but I will do my best to keep up! As long as you keep reviewing my chapters, that is. I just love to read how interested people are in my story. So please, read and review!

Disclaimer: I do not own J.K. Rowling's brilliant piece of work! So please don't sue me!

Thank you to

Anne-Evans89, well Leena's mom is a witch, her dads a muggle. =P And you know how mothers are! And Bellatrix mother I think of as a wench just like her daughter, so naturally, she would be delighted to have a chance to yell at Leena's mother...I guess?

Blagh, Thank you once again! And the cliffy is at the scene where Leena and Kira are in Divination class and Kira is telling Leena's fortune.

Febgirl, That's so kind of you! =) Thank you so much for your review!!

Harry-Potter-Rule, Dreadfully sorry! I didn't realize that, I'm in the process of rereading the books as it is. Later I will try to fix that. Thanks for pointing that out, and I hope you keep reviewing!

Agent Pandora Black, I'm glad you love it! I have an excellent plan for this story so I hope you will stay tuned! ..I like your name by the way!

Tommy, aww, thanks! I'm so glad I have so many good reviews and not a flame in sight! But even when I do get flames I will not quit writing this story! Keep reviewing ;)

Moonlight1111, If you like it now, wait until what I have in store for later! Thank you so much for your review!

Jennycake, Yes I know what you mean. Sirius is a typical conceited male, but I don't think he would do it with every flesh he saw. I prefer to have him snog them =) And yes, you were right about the cliffy! 10 points to you! And you will find out later if the prediction was false or not, it's a cliffy after all ;) –and you said you wanted Sirius' point of view? Well here you go! Enjoy!

Setting:

The Grounds

September, 17th

Weather: Bright and sunny

Season: Autumn

6th Year

The sunlight was dazzling on the smooth surface of the lake, on the bank of which the group of laughing girls were sitting with shoes and socks off, cooling their feet in the water. The weather was perfect out, the heat beating down on their backs. This might be the last hot day they will have until Spring. Leena dipped her feet into the water with her friends and kicked some of the water at Ari.

"Ah! —That wasn't fair!" Ari said, and giggled, splashing water onto Leena now.

"So Leena," Kira said smiling, "Have you talked to your bloke yet?"

Leena frowned, "I haven't actually."

"You can't stay mad at him forever." Lily exclaimed rationally. "After all, he is a boy."

"Yes I know that. I've just been busy is all." Leena said, looking down at her toes.

"Busy with what? Jinxing Mrs. Norris?" Kira said laughing. Ari did not laugh however; she was a huge cat fan.

"But Sirius asked me just today if you were avoiding him. Are you?" Lily asked.

"Umm...Maybe." Leena said.

"He said he needed to talk to you about something." Lily said, smiling. "Just give him another chance? At least be his friend."

"I am his friend!" Leena countered.

"But she wants to be more. I know how she feels." Kira said smiling slightly.

"Yeah. Speaking of which, I think I saw Remus talking to a young Ravenclaw in the corridor today. I think he might fancy the socks off her." Ari teased, and Kira looked like she was about to cry. "I'm only joking, love. You know I am. As far as I know, you're the only one who has it in for young Lupin."

Leena casually looked over her shoulder only to see Sirius, who was staring at the students that were walking across the grounds. The marauders arrived at his side and they sat on either side of Sirius under the beech tree. Sirius didn't even notice her. She frowned and looked back down at her feet hidden in the dense water.

"Leena cheer up! You'll get your chance to snog Sirius!" Ari said loudly.

Everyone started to burst into a group of laughter as Leena's face turned the shade of a red apple. She was telling them to shut it but then she noticed someone from the Marauder group was staring at Lily. A smirk crossed her lips as she looked over at Lily slyly, who suddenly stopped laughing.

"James is looking over here at you Lily. Found yourself a boyfriend have you?" Leena said mockingly.

"Potter? Only in his dreams." Lily said tersely.

"Bollocks! You like him, just admit it Lily!" Ari said.

"I do not! Don't say such things." Lily said angrily.

"Tut, tut," Said Leena, "There's no use lying to us. —Well! Look who decided to join us!"

Lily froze, "Hello Evans," came James' voice from behind her. "Can I speak to you privately for a moment?"

"No." Said Lily.

"Come on, don't be like that. Only a moment, please Evans?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"PLEASE?"

"BLOODY! Just shut up already! All right? I will go with you." Said Lily agitatedly.

James led her away from them. The girls broke out into a fit of giggles. While waiting for her return they started to talk about school and of course, boys. Leena was quiet the entire time as Ari was beginning to brag about the new bloke that likes her in her Herbology class. While Leena was spacing off.

(Sirius POV)

Sirius walked onto the grass and sat down under a beech tree waiting for the other Marauders. He examined each student carefully. Not only was he looking for the Marauders, he was also looking for another particular someone. Leena. He heard everything about the fight with Bellatrix from Remus (He was sitting in front of her, eavesdropping obviously) and he said that she was defending him. The notion that Leena was defending him somehow made him feel, special. He saw the fight in class, but he had no clue what it was over. Now that he did, he was determined to talk to her about it. But recently it seemed that she had been going out of her way to avoid him. He sighed heavily, and then the marauders finally came to join him.

"Oi, Padfoot," Said James cheerfully. "Did you see Mrs. Norris? I wonder who did that! Someone is trying to steal our pranks!"

"Yeah I suppose," Said Sirius, "Have you seen Snivelly lately? I'd love to pull a prank on him right about now"

"Last time I saw him he ran the other direction, Moony and I chased after him, but lost him on the third floor. Also, you should have seen Moony earlier he—Oy! There's Evans! Now is my chance," James said, ruffling up his hair to make it (more) untidy, "How do I look?"

"Like a moron. Go get her, mate," Said Sirius. He watched his friend's retreating back, and then saw someone's familiar blonde hair shinning in the sunlight; she was sitting next to Lily, chattering away.

"Isn't that Leena over there? Go talk to her," Urged Remus, "now is your chance."

He nods, standing up he brushed off his robes and walked over to the three girls, he crossed paths with James and Lily on the way. James winked at him as though he was wishing himself luck and Lily seemed agitated. That girl was a pickle all right. He approached the girls, their backs facing him, only catching a bit of what they were saying.

"Leena, are you all right? Usually you start talking non-stop about how hot you think Sirius is and how you want to kiss him and— oops..." Ari was staring behind Leena. She followed her gaze and looked up at the smirking face of Sirius Black.

"So you think I'm hot, Leena?" Said Sirius. Her face turned bright red, she could feel her ears burning from the humiliation.

"What would make you think that?" Leena said innocently.

"Well I do I believe I got that impression from your friend here. —Are you too shy to admit that you like me?" Said Sirius, his smirk growing wider.

"Why would I like you?" Leena said nastily. "I'd rather date the squid than you!"

"Oh really? Would you marry the squid as well rather than go on a date with me?"

"Yes." Leena said stubbornly.

"Well then, I think its about time you went to go meet your prince charming." Said Sirius.

Leena blinked, "What?" Before she could say anything else, Sirius had tried to push her into the water, but Leena had grabbed his wrist and tugged him in with her and they both fell into the lake. The girls screamed when the water splashed their clothes and then started to laugh when Sirius resurfaced.

"She's going to kill you, mate!" Ari said, then started to laugh again.

"I think I can handle myself." Sirius said surely.

"Where is she?" Said Kira worriedly. "She should have came up by now."

Sirius looked down nervously at the dense water. His hands started to feel around for anything solid. "I don't know where she went," then something emerged from the water, his stomach lurched from excitement for a moment thinking that it might be Leena. But floating on the surface of the water was her wand. "oh no.." Said Sirius, looking closely at the wand, he picked it up.

"Sirius! Try to find her!" Ari said frantically.

He was now searching aimlessly in the water for Leena; dread was beginning to grip him. It's been nearly 5 minutes at least.

Then just as he was about to dive in the water to look for her, she flew out of the water like a fish, jumping onto his back. Sirius lost his balance, and went under. Under the water he could still feel her death grip around his neck slowly releasing him, they both resurfaced, breathing heavily. Leena was laughing between her shallow gasps for air. "I-fooled-you-guys," Said Leena between gasps. Sirius glared at her.

"What was that for? I was worried about you!" Said Sirius, sounding furious.

Leena blinked, "You were worried about me?" She said in a mocking tone.

He suddenly felt embarrassed. But it was true; he was worried that something terrible had happened to her. They had been friends for quite some time, but never had he had a strong urge to hug her and kiss her. Whoa! Whoa! Kiss Leena? I can't have feelings for her. I told myself that I would never settle down with a girl. And I will keep that oath...He told himself But...

"Hey quit staring at me like that! You're beginning to freak me out!" Said Leena.

He gave his head a good shake to rid of his thoughts. "You're a brat, you know that?"

"Well what can I say. I rise for the occasion. You deserved a good scare ya' know! Why'd you tackle me into the water like that? And I straightened my hair out today! Now you ruined it!" Leena scowled.

"Well I like your hair curly anyway." Said Sirius, his trademark smile coming back into place. Then he splashed her and dived under water.

"Why you little git!" Leena said, diving in after him.

"Should we leave them alone then?" Said Ari.

"Yes, let's." Kira said, smiling as they both put their shoes and socks back on, and leaving them.

Sirius wrestled her under water, and she nearly took his head off for it. They both played in the water for at least 30 minutes, laughing and fooling around, then after a final wrestling match under water they went to the surface for air, laughing madly. Pulling herself back onto the bank, Leena was beginning to drain the water from her hair. Sirius pulled himself out too; he looked over at Leena and smiled to himself. Noting how good she looked with her hair damp, she looked cute wet. What is wrong with me!? He mused, frowning a bit. Leena obviously saw his frown and turned to him.

"What's wrong?" She asked with concern.

"Nothing —Hey Leena, I was meaning to talk to you about Bellatrix." Said Sirius.

"She started it I swear!" Leena said furiously.

"I know she did—But I was wondering.... did you really fight her because she said something nasty about me?"

She pondered for a moment, her face turning serious. "Yes. At first she was just calling me a few choice words... and then she brought up you, and I lost control, I guess." Leena said, smiling slightly.

"But why? Why did you fight her out of my benefit? You didn't have to do that."

"But you're my friend. And I hate it when people say things about my friends like that." Said Leena.

"Haven't your mom ever told you that violence is not the answer?" Sirius said teasingly.

"Violence isn't the right answer. But it's an answer." Leena said smiling, "We better get inside for dinner."

"Your right," He said, standing up, "and Leena?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For defending me of course!" Said Sirius, smiling briskly. Leena blushed; she looked adorable when she did that.

They walked back to the school with each other in silence; he kept stealing glances at her every now and then. The sunset background was setting perfectly behind her. For some unexplained reason, he felt content.

(Leena's POV)

When she walked into the hall with Sirius, many eyes turned to them, Leena wasn't a mind reader but she could sense what they were thinking. Coming to dinner late, the two of them. It didn't look too good. So as instantly as Leena sat down next to Kira and Ari, rumors flew.

"So Leena, I heard you're dating Sirius now. Is it true?" Asked a brunette haired girl across from her.

"No were not for your information. Even if we were, I don't see how it's any of your business." Leena said rudely, and the girl didn't ask anymore questions.

"Leena," Whispered Kira from her side, "did you two kiss?"

"No!" Leena yelped, almost too loudly. People were beginning to stare. "What are you bloody looking at?" Said Leena agitatedly to the staring students, and they hesitantly returned to their dinners. It was almost like she was dating a muggle rock star or something. Except Sirius wasn't her boyfriend, or a rock star.

"But you both came in here awfully late," Ari said slyly, "are you sure nothing happened? Nothing at all?"

"Nothing, all we did was wrestle a bit." Said Leena, and soon regretted it.

"Oi! So you two were flirting? Aww, Leena, that's so cute. Invite me to your wedding, will you?" Said Ari.

"There's nothing going on between us!" Said Leena.

"That's not what I've heard." Said another girl across from Leena; she had an evil sneer playing across her rosy lips. Leena turned to the girl and scowled, this girl was Cilia, and she dated Sirius a few months ago. Leena couldn't see why he would date her. She was such a wench. "According to some reliable sources of mine, I heard Sirius say exactly this. That you two did kiss, but it meant nothing to him. He said also that you kiss like a bull frog."

"Do I sense jealousy? And d'you know what I heard from Sirius himself? I heard that you were repulsive to kiss, he said you tried to vacuum his face off." Leena countered with a big cheerful smile on her face. Little did she know was that Sirius was sitting close by.

Her mouth hung open, trying to say something, but nothing would come out. "Oh yeah, well, I heard Severus Snape fancies you!" Said Cilia

"Is that the best you can think of? Hey do you need a refill or something?" Said Leena, fanning her ears with her hands. (In other words, Leena is calling Cilia an air head. ; ) The table burst into laughter. Cilia looked insulted, she's never been made fun of before.

"You need to watch your step Selene! Or I will hex you the next chance I get! I have friends in high and low places." Cilia stood up, not taking her eyes off Leena's.

Leena cocked a brow, "your threats are as empty as your head Cilia," and before Leena gave time for that to sink into Cilia's skull, Leena dapped her mouth with her handkerchief, then calmly and slowly departed the Great Hall. Feeling better about herself than she did before. Firstly, she finally got her chance to flirt with Sirius; secondly, she actually accomplished the impossible for leaving Cilia completely speechless.
