Hey people. Hope you're ok. Right, sorry it took so long, but school, tests etc. Fun… Anyway, here's chapter two.

Disclaimer – I have my own copies of the books, but that's as close as I have and ever will get to owning Harry Potter, so please don't sue.

"So we sit here and now, apparently, these people sit next to us. But thankfully they'll never be here in the evenings as they'll be in detention." Lily explained to Maddi, while sitting in the Great Hall, waiting for the sorting to begin. James sat next to Lily, Remus beside him with Nicki opposite him and Sirius next to Maddi.

"What d'you think so far?" Sirius whispered to Maddi.

"It's wonderful. Just like I imagined. And the people aren't too bad." Maddi whispered back, grinning at him. The look in Sirius's eye was one that she'd never seen before. It was kind of mischief and boredom put together.

The Sorting came and went, going quicker for Sirius than any other year, due to the fact that he was whispering to Maddi all the way through it. He found out that she was actually one of the most interesting people that he had ever met. And the prettiest.

Maddi found herself chatting freely, which was a first. At most new places she felt that she had to change to the image that everyone had of her. But here with Sirius, she was herself. She giggled at some of his past adventures and he giggled at the expression on her face as he told the stories. It was like they were in their own little world and no-one else could come in.

Right, that's chapter two, but because I kept you all waiting so long, I've decided to add chapter three into it.

So, Chapter 3.

After a few lessons it became very clear to Maddi how the lessons worked – they got in, teacher came out and then something would go wrong that would always somehow involve Sirius and James. And Lily had been right; there was only usually Remus and Peter at dinner most nights. Sometimes, even they weren't there but the one thing that was always the same was that James and Sirius were never there. Maddi found herself one night, while eating, wishing that Sirius was next to her, going on about how he had single-handedly wrecked transfiguration. At the end of one divination lesson, Maddi had been walking out of the classroom and had heard him say to James, "Chaos, Panic, Disorder. My work here is done."

One day, Maddi and Lily walked into the Hall and sat down next to Sirius and James. James and Lily went straight into conversation. Maddi looked at Sirius and grinned.

"Hey. Nice to actually see you."

"Oi. It's not my fault teachers think I breathe to cause them trouble."

"Well…" Maddi smiled. "You could behave yourself? It's not that hard. I can."

"I congratulate you. I can't. It would break the reputation I have worked so hard to create."

"Hmm. You could wreak that reputation," Maddi breathed, "for me."

Sirius turned to look at her, his smile fading slightly and his hazel eyes looking deeply into her blue-grey ones.

"If I didn't know you better, I'd say you were flirting with me." He whispered, still looking deep into her eyes. Maddi turned and saw that the Hall was practically empty and that James and Lily had gone off somewhere.

"Maybe I am. I mean, what's to stop me?" Maddi laughed and backed off slightly, scared of the intensity of the look that he was giving her.

"Don't back off." Sirius said, pulling her slender body closer to his, "I don't mind if you want to flirt with me. In fact, I take it as a complement. A gorgeous girl like yourself. However, we are friends, aren't we? And it would be good for me to have a platonic friend. Very good in fact."

"Ok. If you are going to blow hot and cold, I'm not sure if I want to. But what if the platonic friend doesn't want to be a friend. What if she wanted to scream at all the girl's who throw themselves at you?"

"Then I think you ought to do what you want."

Sirius leaned across and gently kissed Maddi on the lips. She got everything that you're supposed to get when you kiss someone you like. Fireworks, explosions. Everything.

When they eventually broke off the kiss, Maddi sat back and just breathed out. Sirius smiled at her and got up, picking her up with him.

"Come on. Let's go find them."

Now then, I'm thinking about that being the end. Purely because I've lost the will to write this. I might find it again, but at the moment I'm debating whether to leave this and start work on possibly a Yu-Gi-Oh one, cause my brother has got me into it. Or continue avec this. Please review and give me ideas etc.

Thanks for reading. Rox.
