Ch2: Getting to Know You
Afte breakfast, we headed to Potions. First class of the week. Today was Monday. It was actually the first official week of school since we only came back on Friday and then had the weekend. I looked at my schedule again, Potions with Slytherins. If Lucius is in my year and she was with them maybe… she'll be there too?So we walked on, a bit later Remus left us to join Hailey to head to Care for Magical Creatures. We actually arrived on time to the dungeons. Not many people where there. Mostly the smart people from Gryffindor were there but Slytherins were usually late since Poo were easy on them. Few minutes later, Lucius and Narcissa walked in hand in hand. He took a seat behind me while she was next to him on the right. I silently wondered where Trixie and the other girl were. I cursed myself for wanting to ask Lucius where they were. It's not that I hate him, it's just a man's pride. I can't let him know that I was interested in her or he'll tell the world and I'll be screwed as you know it.
Let me tell you this – many girls fall head over heels for me because of my looks. Barely any of them actually KNOW whom I am inside. And yes, being Sirius Black, I would have flings with whomever I wish whenever I'm bored. The thought almost killed me. I remembered the look that She gave me in the Great Hall. Can I give up my freedom just to be with her? One girl instead of any of many? In the back of my mind, I knew the answer was yes, but I couldn't admit it to myself just yet. Class started and there were two empty seats. There were two seats in the back that were empty. Trixie was in this class but I realized I didn't know where she was. I turned and asked Narcissa. "Where's Trixie?" Narcissa looked at me like I went crazy. See, they were my cousins, I'm their little brother. I'm not suppose to CARE about them. She answered, "She went with Adrienne to get her schedule and supplies for class." "Adrienne?" Who?
"That girl…" She didn't' finish. Poo came up to us and stated firmly and monotonously, "Black, there will be no talking in my class. Especially for you, since you are not doing so well, I suggest you pay attention. Ten points from Gryffindor." I opened my mouth to retort but the classroom doors opened and Bellatrix and that girl came in. Adrienne?
"Sorry Professor, we're
late," Trixie said plainly. Poo looked up from me and looked at her.
All malice disappeared from his face. "Have a seat, Ms. Black, Ms.
Drakowitz." They took the seats in the back and Poo went back to the
front of the room to continue his lesson. A little further on he
decided to assign us seats. I groaned. Everyone groaned. James looked
at me a groaned. Every year, he would sit us with our worst enemies and
we'd have partner projects and everything enjoyable. We removed our
books and ourselves from our seated area and stood at the back of the
room.
I
stood there in the back, leaning against the wall. I was doomed. I looked around at the remaining people. All the close friends that were Gryffindors were all seated and most of those that remained standing here those in high graces with Poo – which included those members of my family. They usually got to sit in the back because Poo knew they liked it back there. "Black," he said. The three of us looked up and he sighed, "Sirius," he sighed dejectedly. I walked over the next desk that was empty and situated myself.
"Drakowitz." What? The girl with the chocolate eyes and flowing hair walked forward with light steps and slid her lithe body into the seat next to me. My partner? I am definitely not doomed, I'm saved! She looked at me and smiled again. She held out a hand to me, "I'm Adrienne Drakowitz, nice to meet you." "Sirius Black," I said while taking her hand in mine. She had cold hands. Cold and slender hands and fingers. It made my skin tingle with a sensation that run up and down my spine. I tried really hard to soften my smile but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon…
And
so it was, I am partnered with THE most beautiful girl. And to clear
all records, I have never really considered a girl beautiful before.
All the girls I've had flings and messed around with are just pretty
and not really worth my time. It's not that I'm shallow or anything but
none of them appealed to me, physically or personality-wise. Until now…
Damn, it HAS to be her! Why is this even bothering me so much? I am
Sirius Black!
Potions class continued and Poo continued to drone on
and on about whatever. I was not concentrating but at the same time I
knew – in the back of my mind – that I'd be having trouble with potions
later. I looked around the room quickly and saw that almost everyone
that wanted or needed a good grade was taking notes. I wasn't and I am
screwed. It is just that I can never concentrate!
I glanced over at Adrienne. She was writing on her parchment with her quill moving gracefully over the paper. Some of her long hair fell over her face as she wrote, I couldn't help but stare. She looked up at me and smiled, seeming as if she had sensed that my gaze was on her. I smiled back and looked away, trying to do it as casually as possible. I felt a warm fuzzy heat rise to my face as I looked down at my desk after I turned away. What is she doing to me?
Potions class continued on uneventfully on the outside, but my mind was turmoil. How could a single girl do this to me? I know she has glimmering hair, dancing eyes, slender body and… URGH! NEVERMIND! I glanced at her once more, quickly turning and turning back. Damn it…
Class
was dismissed, much to Poo's disappointment. Obviously he was about to
totally humiliate a Gryffindor girl. I looked over and surely he was.
She had blonde hair and a petite body and her eyes showed fear beyond
belief. I stood up to gather my things and I watched Adrienne from the
corner of my eye do the same. She was so graceful. She looked up at me
and smiled again while she slung the strap of her bag over her
shoulder. She gathered what remained of her stuff that was on the desk
and left. I was frozen for a moment until…
"Adrienne, wait!"
"Huh?" she turned around, looking confused – adorable. By now, she was
out of the classroom door and I followed after her with my stuff in my
arms. "What's your next class?" I asked, what else could've I asked?
"Um..
Divination?" She glanced at her schedule, looking completely lost.
"Here, let me see." I look the paper from her hands and glanced. Sure
enough, it was divination – like me. "Yeah, I have that too. Want me to
walk you?" She immediately broke into a grin and nodded her head.
"Thank you! I would've gotten lost in this place!" I laughed at her
response. Even though it was natural for anyone to feel that way, her
expression of happiness and relief somehow made me happy too. I handed
the schedule back to her and took my place by her side and walked her
to the North Tower for Divination.
