Sorry it's been so long. I've written chapter three, but I need to tweak it, and I've written a chapter that will be either four or five...I haven't quite decided if I'm going to put another chapter before it. Developments, developments. I love developments! =) Review please; it's what motivates me.

The more time Sirius and Riley spent together, the more they realized...

"We have nothing in common." Riley said as she sat on Sirius's lap in the Gryffindor common room. Sirius smiled and gazed at her.

"Of course we do. We're both sixth year Gryffindors who enjoy Quidditch..." Riley smiled and snuggled into his chest. "And we're in love." Sirius continued. Riley stiffened at his last statement, but Sirius didn't seem to notice.

The room was empty except for them. It was a Friday evening and their peers were either in bed or messing around somewhere. Sirius bent down to kiss her. When they separated, Riley was breathless. Sirius grinned. "You're a great kisser."

"What do you mean? I don't do anything."

"Exactly." Sirius said.

Riley paused to contemplate this and felt Sirius's eyes on her. His gaze seemed to go through her. It always unnerved her when he looked at her like that. She gave him a quick kiss and stood up. "I better be going to bed now. I don't want to be tired in the morning." Sirius nodded.

"Yeah, me too. See you tomorrow."

The next morning Riley met Sirius in the common room and they left for Hogsmeade.

"Want to go get a butter-beer?" Sirius asked when they entered the town.

"Sure." Riley said.

They walked inside the Three Broomsticks and sat down at a small table in the back of the room. Sirius ordered two butter-beers and they silently drank them when they arrived. Suddenly Sirius leaned over and kissed her. Riley blushed. "Sirius!" She whispered. "We're in public."

Sirius grinned. "Yes. Don't tell me you care what people think!" He said in mock surprise.

Riley smiled. "Of course."
