A/n – Very big thanks to Dragon-girl. Love you, girl! Squirrel – to know you liked my fic is means a lot to me. You, Martha and Krusty are one of the bests authors I've read. Pretty much thank you. (Also thanks to everyone – if there is somebody else – who's reading).

02_WHEN IT ALL BEGINS

Sirius took a second to locate Melissa. He found her sat beside the window at the Griffindor common room reading a very large book. Smiling, he went towards her. Melissa only noticed him when Sirius took the book away from her.

"I was reading that, Sirius!"

"A Thousand herbs and magic fungus." He scowled. "It's just your first day at school, Lis! There are better things to do." He slipped in the couch, beside her.

"Enlighten me, please." Melissa looked at him sideways. Sirius sprawled and put his arm around her shoulders.

"You know, we could go to Hogsmeade this weekend. I heard you've never been there." He smiled mischievously and winked at her.

Melissa felt her heart skip a beat. She opened her mouth to say something but Lily interrupted.

"Perhaps you should think about your classes first, Sirius." She handed them both a scroll parchment. "Your new schedule."

"Eh, Lily, there's a mistake on mine." Sirius stood up and pointed the parchment to Lily. "It says: No Hogsmeade until fortnight October."

"Really?" she answered sarcastically and left.

"Well, Sirius, it seems we'll have to put off this little ride."

He grinned devilishly. "We'll see..."

Saturday morning Melissa slowly opened her eyes and greeted the sunlight. The girls most likely weren't awake yet, so she stretched and went bath. Fifteen minutes later she came out the bathroom fully dressed and performing a dry spell at her hair. When the black satin curtain that was her hair fell lose above her back, she smiled. God bless the magic!

Melissa was ready to go to breakfast when a weird motion next to the door attracted her eyes.

"SURPRISE!" Sirius shouted. When one of the roommates of Melissa mumbled meaningless words and changed position, he lowered his voice. "Surprise!"

"Sirius!" she whispered, dragging him away from the room. "What are you doing here?"

He chuckled and kissed her on the top of her nose. "Keeping my word." As she looked at him puzzled, he explained. "I'll take you to Hogsmeade."

"And how are you supposed to do this?" she tried to sound serious but couldn't.

Sirius reached out for her hand and gave one of those smiles that he knew that were earth-shattering. "Trust me."

If Melissa were in her perfect state of mind that moment, she probably wouldn't agree with him since that it would mean break a thousand rules and eventually detention until the rest of their lives. But every single thought had ran away from her head.

Her ability to speak came back a couple minutes after, while Sirius hushed her through the castle.

"Where are you taking me to?"

"You ask too much." They finally had stopped in front of a gargoyle with only one eye. "I already told you."

"Once we can apparate out of Hogwarts and McGonnagal surely won't allow us to just walk out through the Entrance door, I can't see how..." she stopped. The gargoyle had moved away to show what seemed with a deep and dark tunnel. "... you... can... do... this." Melissa turned to him thunderstruck. "Care to explain?"

Sirius shrugged. "In six years at Hogwarts I've learned a thing or two." The next second they were walking down the tunnel.

"Where would you like to go first?" They were standing outside the Honeydukes. For Melissa surprise, the owner of the candy store wasn't surprised to see Sirius at his warehouse and just greeted them good morning.

Decided to don't think too much about it, she looked up at him. "Somewhere to eat. You know, I was kidnapped and my sequesterer forgot I hadn't my breakfast yet."

Sirius shook his head. "Shame on me. Com'on, I know the perfect place."

An hour later the couple could be seeing at the Hill around the corners of Hogsmeade. The amazing view of the small village bellow them and the Castle on the skyline marveled Melissa. She sat on the grass and motioned to Sirius to join her.

Sirius gazed at her intently and sat by her side, searching in her eyes the permission to embrace her. He kind of had planned all that. Being the greatest Don Juan Hogwarts ever saw, he could have all the girls he wished by just snapping his fingers. But this time was Melissa he wanted. The beautiful and decided girl he met just a week ago.

She was different from everybody else. Hogwarts was just the first step she planned to climb, so she could reach her goal and become a medic-witch. He admired that on her, the girls he dated before seemed to be completely air- haired and futile next to her. Smiling, he brought her closer.

The kiss was soft at the beginning. A mix of sensations Melissa never felt before. Something like that wasn't in her plans but it seemed right, anyway. Just to be close to him like this. She felt with pleasure how he caressed the back of her neck, and sighed delighted. Sirius took that as a sign to deepen the kiss and smiled inwardly when she answered just as passionately.

When they had no breath left, they parted. Sirius gently ran his fingers through her hair and made her rest her head in his chest. They spent what seemed hours that way. Kissing, playing, cherishing, smiling and then kissing again.

"I could stay here forever." Sirius sighed. "Pity we must go back to Hogwarts."

Melissa jumped up. "Oh, my God, Sirius. McGonnagal will tears us apart limb to limb if she finds out! We have to go back now!" She desperately tried to smooth her clothes while Sirius slowly stood up, muttering something that sounded like 'should have shut my mouth'.

She reached for Sirius' hand and started to walk, but he didn't move. "Won't you come?" she turned to find him grinning at her. Growing truly worried – they could get even expelled for that little adventure! – she approached him. "Com'on Sirius." But all her thoughts were forgotten when he pulled her to his arms once more.
