B Caroline: /b br
I'm a genius in transfiguration and charms; Herbology, potions and history of magic come easily as well. Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes, Astronomy, whatever it is… I can do it. Except for Defense Against the Dark Arts that is. I don't know what it is; I study technique and everything… I just have such a hard time in that class. Most of the class is ahead of me, which NEVER happens in any other subject. I try so hard and put extra hours in studying and practicing, but it's just hopeless, I can't do it. p
And those Defense Against the Dark Arts spells can be useful, very useful. And not just against dark wizards. You can use them against other peers as well… if you catch my drift. p
So I laid down my pride and I asked Sirius Black for help. Sure, I could have asked James Potter, he's sure good enough at it, but no, I asked Sirius, and I bet you all know why. I told him that that could pay me back for the tutoring in transfiguration. P
Today was the first time he'd helped me. According to him, I need to forget about all of the technique, and just put my all in to the spell. Well, that's not exactly easy for me to do, so I didn't do too great. I managed the expelliarmus charm fine; I've done that before. Stunning was okay, but I could be better. And though I made a drastic improvement, I still can't do the impediment jinx, locomoter mortis or the shield charm for the life of me. p
Now I'm making my way to the Ravenclaw common room. I climb through the entrance and curl up on one of the most comfortable chairs sitting by the fire. With an enormous yawn, I pull out a quill and parchment for my potions essay and immediately begin writing. After an hour or so the essay is completed and it's a foot longer than required. Pleased with my work, I pack it away in my messenger bag and go to bed. P
I Two young kids, looking to be about 12 or 13 are cuddling on what looks like a very comfortable blue couch. The boy is handsome; he has very light blonde hair and green eyes. The girl is also very good looking with her beautiful, long blonde hair and mysterious light purple eyes. P
"I… I love you Caroline," the young boy says. P
"I love you too, Allen." P
And with that, the boy named Allen gives Caroline a kiss on the forehead. She snuggles closer to him and looks up at him with a great big smile before resting her head on his chest. /I p
With that, I wake with a start. I'm panting and dripping with sweat. I look out the window to see that the sun is just peaking over the horizon. P
Knowing that I'll never get back to sleep, I take a quick shower and get dressed. I grab my old Lightning 260 broomstick before exiting the Ravenclaw common room. P
Due to the fact that it's Saturday and early in the morning, the Quidditch pitch is vacant. Once there, I push off of the ground and close my eyes as I ride "sidesaddle." Wind whips through my hair and my mind is cleared of all thought. That's usually why I ride my broom, to clear my head; it's the only thing that works for me. p
What was so nightmarish about that dream? Well… nothing really. It's the memories that came with it. Allen is a muggle that I met the summer after my 2nd year at "boarding school" (at least that's what I told him). We soon began dating and after a bit we fell in love. What can I say? We were instantly attracted to one another. It was perfect; I was happy… p
Then I came home for the Christmas holidays. I decided to surprise him (big mistake) and show up at his house. I walked in, and there he was, with a blue-eyed bombshell saying, "I love you Trisha." I burst in to tears and ran out of the house, but before I did I yelled to him, "Fuck you Allen, fuck you!" I rarely cuss, so he knew how upset I was. "CAROLINE!" p
He stopped by my house b a few hours later /b . My mom answered the door, "I don't know Allen, she's pretty upset… and in all honesty I can't blame her." "Please Mrs. Frederickson, I u need /u to talk to her." Sighing, my mom quickly got me. I came outside and Allen and I sat on the front porch. There was an awkward silence until I broke it. P
"You two look great together…" p
"Listen, it's just, you're always gone at that stupid boarding school." p
"And that makes it okay?" My temper was rising.
"No, I'm sorry…" He sighed and began again, "I love you it's just…"
But I cut him off, "Really? Because it sure sounded like you love Trisha. Or are you lying to her too?" p
"Caroline, please." P
"Go to hell Allen." p
Tears are now streaming down my face just thinking about it. I'm over Allen, but it still hurts knowing how he lied to me, how he betrayed my trust. I'm just so scared to get hurt like that again that it's hard to let people get too close. It sounds tacky, but it's true. It's partly why I have such a lack of friends; people sense my cold, aloof vibe and back off. P
But Sirius, he seems different. I've never seen him with one girl let alone two. And he's just so kind and understanding. And there's more to him than meets the eye, I can see that every time I look at those brilliant brown eyes. I love that about him. No, Sirius isn't like Allen… Sirius isn't like Allen at all. Allen would never stand up for me. Allen would never pick up all of my stuff and carry me all the way to the hospital wing. Allen would never say that I'm a "beautiful creature" (no matter how cheesy it sounds). Allen would never help me with Defense Against the Dark Arts. All stupid Allen would do is ignore the bullies, leave my stuff and tell me to walk to off. All he'd do is say that I'm 'cute' and help me find a tutor. God I hate him… p
And with that I go into a dive and speed faster around the stadium. And that's when I hear applause. And when I look over to see who's been watching me, I see wind-blown dark hair, enchanting brown eyes, and a face full of laughter.

B Sirius: /b br
"I didn't see you at all at breakfast, so I came looking for you, I brought you some food." P
I leave out the fact that I was worried sick that something terrible had happened to her. P
"Oh, thanks," she says. P
"What are you doing out here anyways?" p
"Just clearing my head… couldn't sleep." p
"Nightmare?" p
"Yeah, sort of." p
I can tell that she doesn't want to think about it, let alone talk about it, so I decide to change the subject once she's done eating. "Hey, I know what will cheer you up!" p
"Really?" she says with doubt, "What would that be?" p
And so I start tickling her mercilessly. She immediately bursts in to uncontrollable laughter. Oh that laugh, that sweet laugh, music to my ears. Caroline is trying to squirm away, but by now she's wriggling on the ground, helpless. P
"Stop it Sirius!" she yells in between giggles, "SIRIUS!" P
"Oh fine," I say, ceasing my attack, "told you that I could cheer you up!" P
Caroline snorts and then says, "I am SO getting back at you for that!" P
She begins chasing me around the school grounds, broomstick in tow. I eventually wear down and as I do, Caroline pulls out her wand. Suddenly, my legs feel like noodles and I fall to the ground. A jelly legs jinx, and a good one at that, what else could I expect from her. She laughs and plops down on to the ground beside me as the jinx wears off. P
"Whew! That was fun." p
"Hell yeah it was." p
We both catch our breath and there's a long, awkward silence. I lie down on the grass and she follows suit. P
"Caroline?" P
"Yeah Sirius?" P
"Not to sound rude or anything, but why is it that you're so devoted to class work?" P
She pauses for a moment and then begins, "Well… being muggle born, I always believed magic to be a myth. So when my Hogwarts acceptance letter came, I was well, shocked. But after that wore off, I was excited, genuinely excited. Magic just gave me a whole new outlook on well… everything. I suppose it gives me faith, magic I mean, faith in the things that go unseen… such as hope, and love. But I think more than anything, it gave me the faith that one person really CAN make a difference. In the muggle world, my chances of that were slim to none. But so many more things are possible now that I'm a witch. If a small child can't reach something, I can retrieve it for them, even if I can't reach it myself. I can make a potion to make someone temporarily happy, when they'd never be otherwise. I can help a helpless person escape the clutches of a Devil's Snare when all hope is lost in their hearts. And I'm just so desperate to make a difference in this world, even for just one person, that I devote myself to learning magic. It sounds stupid, but that's just how it is for me." p
We both had stood up and are now walking along the forest's edge. Now that she's finished, we stop walking and she immediately looks down. I lift her chin so that I'm looking right in to her eyes, "It's not stupid Caroline, that may be the deepest thing I've heard in my life." p
She searches my eyes to see if I'm serious and realizing that I am, she looks down again and her cheeks redden rapidly. I suddenly have a strong urge to pick her up and kiss her, to feel those full lips of hers on mine. Not able to resist, I lift her chin once again and slowly lean in. We both close our eyes, an inch from each other's lips. P
"HEY SIRIUS!" I hear Peter call as he comes running towards me. I pull away from Caroline and growl, "Hello Peter." P
"What are you two up to?" P
"Just taking a walk," Caroline tells him. P
"Sounds fun, may I join you?" P
"PETER!" It's James; thank god it's James. "GET OVER HERE!" P
Peter runs off and James can be heard scolding him saying stuff like, "can't you see that they want to be alone you half wit?" and "what the heck were you thinking?" P
"Well, I probably better go as well." Caroline says. P
"Caroline…" P
But she's already running towards the castle. I'll have to remember to strangle Peter later.
