Anything but Ordinary
Disclaimer: I own nothing except Michelle.....and the plot.....
Heylo Everyone! I'm really thankful for all my reviews that I have gotten. 114 and counting! I was really proud of the last chappie but not many people reviewed it which makes me sad. I guess you don't love me anymore. I'm very disappointed to all those really good stories are either ending or they haven't been updated. That makes me sad. I was re-reading my first chapters of this story and they suck. I can't believe you guys actually liked this. I gave no details what-so-ever and they were so short. I feel like I let you all down. I'm sorry. Well, now, let's start the story!
(Sirius's P.O.V)
The party was awesome. We stayed up until the early morning dancing like there was no tomarrow. But, I just couldn't have fun. I saw Lily. Dancing with James. They looked so happy. Her eyes twinkling and full of laughter, smile that can bright up a thousand nights, and hair flowing around her body while she danced. I've never seen James this happy in years either. I can see something in his eyes, that I never realised until quite recently.
Love.
That's right. My old buddy James. The same James that we used to have ice cream cone fights with, play Quidditch in his backyard, and being the brother I always wanted. Ever since he laid eyes on Lily, there was always a spring in his step and a blush on his face whenever their eyes met. Being his best friend and all, I should be happy for him.
Shouldn't I?
He has fallen in love with the girl I want to have and to hold. Why always James? Why not me? James gets the girls, the brains and the perfect family. As for me, I only have my looks to thrive off, but you can't live with just that, now can I? Now, all I could do is just sit here and wait around until the perfect girl for me comes around. But, I have to wonder, how will I know when I find her?
"Sirius? What are you doing just sitting there? This is a party!" said a voice taking me out of my train of thought.
"Hmm?"
"Sirius, this is a party, and do you know what you do during a party?" asked Michelle with her hands on her hips.
I smirked and put down my butterbeer and stood up, "No Michelle, what do we DO during a party?"
She grabbed my hands and pulled me a few feet away from were I was once before, into a crowd in the middle of the Great Hall. She started to dance.
"This," she replied, and started dancing to the music. Swaying her hips side to side in perfect rhythm with the beat and motion of the song. Her shiny brown hair bouncing as she moved, and her perfect smile place across her face as she danced. My heart stopped beating for a moment while looking at her. She was truely beautiful.
"Sirius, don't just stand there with that goofy grin on your face. Let's dance!" stated Michelle, taking my hands into her own. It was the beginning to a slow song. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped my arms around her waist. I started stepping on her feet, but all she did was giggle. I smiled at her and she smiled back. I stared into her beautiful hazel eyes. I was loosing myself in them. Vibrant colors all swirled together. Green on the inside then going dark green, then a uniques shade of blue-green around the end. Her hair, full of so many browns. Dark brown, caramel brown, honey brown all mixed togeher. She smiled once more and whispered, "Sirius, the music stopped."
"Huh, what?" I gulped letting go of her.
'' The music stopped, but you just keep dancing like you were in a trance or something. Is something wrong?" she said with a worried look plastered on her face. I smiled at her and leaded her away from the bombarding third year Gryffindors.
"No, there's absolutely nothing wrong." I replied was we walked away from the mess of younger students. We walked over to the big window, over looking the night sky. She smiled dreamily as we saw the moon and the stars shining a most beautiful light. I looked at her and I had an idea.
"Come on Michelle," I whispered in her ear talking her out of her state of day-dreaming. I took her small hand in mine and lead her up to the Gryffindor common room.
"Why are we leaving? It's only...." started Michelle looking at the big clock on the third floor, " 10 o'clock. Why are we leaving so early?"
I glanced sideways at her and smiled, "You'll soon find out."
I ran into the common room and ran up the boys dormitory stairs, with Michelle close behind me.
"Ummm....Sirius? Why are we up here? Why aren't...." Michelle started.
"You'll find out in a minute," I interrupted.
"Aha! I found it!" I yelled victoriously. I grabbed my broom and pulled the curtains that comcealed a very large window. I muttered a spell and the window opened. I looked at Michelle, who still looked lost and said," Come here."
She walked over to me and I sat on the broom. I took her hand and pulled her up so I was holding onto her stomach, with her in front. We we're just talking off when she said, "Sirius.....I don't like flying. I'm gonna fall."
I looked down at her and saw that she had a nervous look on her face. She glanced up and I said, "Don't worry, I won't let you go," and squeezed a little harder around her waist, confirming what I said was true. She smiled at me and looked out onto the night sky once again.
We flew for a few minutes and then stopped around the lake.
"Oh Sirius, It's BEAUTIFUL!" She stated, jumping off my broom.
About three years ago, I found this place when I was flying to get my mind off things after my parents dosowned me. I kept flying and flying until I stopped when I found this. The perfect place. The moon was shining bright above us, casting a glow upon the ground below. The perfect place to see the stars twinkling the brightest they can twinkle. Flowers just starting to bloom and trees that were budding. I never showed this place to anyone. When I am ever upset or I too stressed, I come here to clear my head. One day, I would bring the person that seemed right for me here. Since around January, I thought this would be Lily. Thinking about Lily, there were no butterflies in my stomach or any reason or indication that my palms were all sweaty. It used to be, until tonight.
"Oh thanks so much Sirius!" yelled Michelle as she jumped on me and gave me a big hug. "Back home in Salem, the stars or the moon never looked this big or this beautiful.Thanks so much!" She gave me one last squeeze and sat down the in soft bushy grass, and I soon did the same.
Gazing out upon the lake made me think. Why is this all happening so fast? Why has Lily suddenly left my mind and Michelle soon replacing her? Why is this happening to me? Do I love this girl that's next to me? Now, that's a question I can't answer. I've known her for only two weeks. Is it possible to fall in love in two weeks? I'm not sure, but this feeling in myheart sure says "Yes" but my mind keeps telling me to wait.
"Sirius? Can I ask you a question?" asked Michelle. She had her knees brought all the way up to her chin and her flip-flps now laying the the grass next to her.
"You just did," I said.
"You know what I mean," She said giving me a playful push.
"Alright, alright. Shoot."
"Why me?" she asked, gazing upon the rhythmatic waves of the lake.
"Huh?" I asked.
"Why me? It's not like you bring all the girls you know out here. Do you?"
"Nope, you're the first," I replied.
"But, why? I mean, out of all the girls in this school, all those other girls that praise the ground you walk on, why'd you pick me?"
I shrugged. "I dunno. Something about me bringing you here just felt right. I felt like I've known you all my life, not just two weeks. You're different than all those girls and that's what I like about you."
"Really, what's so different?"
"Umm....you're very easy to talk too and doesn't like me because of the way I look.....You're one of the only girls that I could have a smart conversation with.....you can play the guitar, very well I might add......and you're sincere and beautiful."
There were tears swelling up in her eyes. "Really?" she asked.
"Really," I said, bending down and giving her a light kiss on the lips. It was like an electric shock flowing through my body. Sonething I never felt before with any girl. Not even Lily. If this isn't love, then I don't know what is.
So what's you all think? This is one of the first times I ever had a Sirius point of view in my story. I hope you all liked it. i think I did a good job portraying Sirius's emotions and such. This was also a perfect time to put Michelle into the fic. I know I brought Michelle up quickly, but you'll learn more about her next chapter. Speaking of chapters, sorry this one is so short. I didn't have much time to do this and I promise the next one will be much longer.
I'd just like to say, to make it clear, I put in new songs for my last chapter because I think some of the newer songs help match their personalities and so you all would actually know the songs. Plus, I really like those songs and I hoped you liked them too.
On another note, I know what you're thinking. How can Sirius think he's in love with one girl at one moment, then another at the next? We'll, Sirius will soon make one of his biggest decision's in his life and who will be in it. Sirius has hard to control emotions going haywire throughtout him and maybe one of them will take the best of him. Who knows what will happen next. I don't even know. I think what's in my head, then type it down. I never thought of any of these emotions that were in the chapter were going to happen. So....I hope you all liked and I will update as soon as I can.
Thanks again for all the reviews, and don't forget to tell me if you liked it!
