Disclaimer: The fantastic characters that you are about to read about in my story solely belong to the magnificent and almighty J.K. Rowling. I just like to take the characters and twist them to my wills. Oh, if I owned them the things I would do (smirks)! The only thing of value I do own is a Pentium one laptop which the monitor doesn't even work so I have to hook it up to another one. The one I hook it up to turns blue at random and I have to beat it with my fist to turn it back to normal... Pathetic, huh?

Well now enjoy the story and on with the show!

Chapter Three: Detention With Sirius Black

"What did he say to you?" Molly asked after I had took my normal seat in potions in between her and Lily.

"Nothing," I mumbled as I pulled out my notebook to take the notes that were now up on the board for the potion we would be making tomorrow. Molly and Lily raised eyebrows at me and I gave them a confused look. "What?"

"You're blushing! Did he ask you to Hogsmeade?" Lily whispered as Professor Slughorn walked by us wearily. I waited until he had walked away before I scolded Lily.

"No! He didn't ask me to Hogsmeade and I am not blushing it's just a little warmer in here than usual!" I said in a harsh whisper.

"I know you're thinking about him," Molly said slyly. I shook my head and looked down at my book.

"Am not," I whispered.

"Are too," they whispered back in unison.

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not!" I said fiercely making them stop and look at me disappointed. I shook my head and tried to write the notes that were on the board. As hard as I tried I couldn't concentrate. All I could think about was Sirius.

'Maybe I should say yes if he asks me to Hogsmeade. He acts like he fancies me. He is quite good looking' I heard a voice say inside my head. 'But it's Black!' A voice scolded me inside my head. 'I know that! I haven't dated anyone in a while. It might be good for me. What have I got to loose?' I asked myself. 'It's Black! You know what you could loose? Your pride, dignity, standards, respect, and... well...your virginity, ' that nagging voice said. 'I would never let that happen, and besides-Wait! I'm having a conversation with my self! Oh God I-' the normal voice began.

"Stop thinking about him!" Lily said mischievously. I turned on her my eyes flashing.

"I can't!" I yelled standing up. The class went completely silent and all eyes were on me. Everyone was looking at me extremely shocked. Ever since my parents, two world know Aurors, had been killed by Death Eaters I had been a very, quiet distant person. I looked around the room and saw Sirius's concerned face looking back at me. Professor Slughorn rose from his seat and I sat down.

"Miss McCain speak with me after class," he said. I sunk down in my seat and covered my face with my hands. I was going to get detention for sure. Professor Slughorn was one of my favorite teachers. I was even in "The Slug Club" but if you disturbed his class (the time he got to rant on and on) you always got into trouble.

I looked at Lily and Molly and they looked at me sorrowfully. The bell rang and everyone filed out of the classroom as I made my way to his desk. "You will join Mr. Black in detention tonight. Be here 7 o'clock sharp. I'm sorry Miss McCain but you disturbed my classroom. You are dismissed," he said without even looking up from his papers. I sighed and walked out of the classroom were Lily and Molly were waiting for me.

"Well?" the asked in unison. They really knew what had happened but they always asked just incase.

"Detention. I won't be alone though. Sirius has detention, too," I said glumly. They snickered and I gave them a questioning glance.

"I wonder what will happen tonight!" Lily teased. I rolled my eyes as we went outside on the way to Herbology.

"I bet sparks will fly!" Molly said with a wink.

"Oh yea! Sure! Sparks will fly! They'll fly from my wand when I curse him for coming onto me," I said in an undertone so only Molly and Lily could hear me. They burst into laughter and we continued to walk across the grounds.

XXXXXXXXX

"Well I have to be getting to detention. I'll see you guys later then. Ok?" I said standing up and grabbing my bag.

"Have fun!" Molly yelled as I walked away. I rolled my eyes and exited the Great Hall. I felt a hand rest softly on my shoulder. I turned around quickly to see whom the hand belonged too.

"You know, a young lady as pretty as you really shouldn't walk alone. May I escort you to our detention?" Sirius asked, his eyes sparkling and a sweet tone infecting his voice. I blushed and kept walking. "Wait!" he said making my feet unwillingly stop in their tracks.

"Yes?" I asked slightly irritated but flattered at the same time. He closed the space between us and stared into my eyes.

"Can I walk with you?" he asked. I bit my bottom lip and put a look of concentration on my face.

"Well...I guess it would be all right," I said as we started walking towards the dungeons. "Oh and just out of curiosity, why do you have detention?"

"Last week I put two knarles in Professor Slughorn's office and he gave me two weeks of detention," he answered nonchalantly. I turned my head to look at him.

"Why? Professor Slughorn is a really good teacher!" I scolded. He shrugged his shoulders and put his hands in his pockets.

"He gave me D (Dreadful) on that essay about dragon blood and it's magical uses," he said as if it was the professor's fault for his bad grade.

"Well maybe you should worked harder on the essay," I said getting a little annoyed.

"Well maybe if I was as brilliant as you then maybe-" he began.

"Sirius, don't try to pass that one off with me because you really are smart. It's in there. I know it is because I've seen it. You are just as smart as I am." I said stopping in front of the classroom door.

"Was... Was that almost a compliment?" he asked, slightly amazed. He took a step closer and I could feel the warmth coming from his body since it was so cold in the dungeons.

"Almost," I said with a small smile. He blinked and smiled, making my heart begin to melt.

"Thanks," he said quietly as his face began to get closer to mine.

"Anytime," I whispered. The door swung open dramatically and we jumped away from each other.

"I'm surprised that you're on time Mr. Black. Both of you, please come in," he said as he gestured us to come in. I blushed and walked quickly into the cold classroom and Sirius followed me to the front of the professor's desk. "Tonight you two will be reorganizing my ingredients and potions cabinet while I grade papers in my office. I will check up on you two in two hours time," he said as got up and made his way to his office.

Sirius and I nodded; he went into his office and closed the door. "Let's get started, shall we?" I asked as I opened up the cabinet.

Sirius walked up behind me and whispered in my ear, "What exactly are you referring too?" I stepped away from him and started working, which he quickly joined. Over the next two hours Sirius and I learned a lot about each other as we cleaned and organized. Professor released us after we had finished and we continued talking on the way back to Gryffindor Common room.

"Really my mother and father are evil." he said I looked at my feet and thought back on many memories that included them. I felt my eyes begin to slowly dampen so I didn't meet his eyes.

"Mine were really amazing people. They were always there for me and they loved me very much," I said quietly.

"LeAnne...What happened to them?" he asked in a barely audible whisper. I looked up at him and he stepped closer to me, seeing my eyes well up with tears. "Never mind. I'm sorry. I sho-," he began. I raised my hand to his lips and silenced him.

"It's ok. I'll tell you," I said and cleared my throat. "It happened the summer before this year started..."

Flashback

I woke up when I felt someone shaking me. I slowly opened my eyes to see my mother leaning over me. "What is it?" I asked tiredly. My mother pulled me out of bed and looked into my eyes as did my father.

"Go into the closet and don't come out until we say to, ok?" My mom asked. I cocked my head to the side in a questioning movement.

"Do as we say, honey please. I love you sweetie," my father said as he hugged me.

My father let me go and my mother hugged me and whispered, "I love you Kelly. Do as we say," she pleaded as she began to push me towards the closet.

"I love both of you too, but wait! What's going on? What's h-" I began. My father cut in before I finished.

"Promise us you won't come out until we say it's safe, please," my father begged. I nodded still very confused.

"I promise, but... What's going on?" I asked as I went into the closet. There was a sudden crash and my parents closed the door.

I looked through the keyhole as my parents pulled out there wands and stood in front of my door. Suddenly the door burst open and my parents were knocked off their feet. Three Death Eaters stormed into the room as my parents began to jump up. Fear coursed through my veins but the only thing keeping me from rushing to their aid was my promise.

"Avada Kedavra!" Two of the Death Eaters shouted. My parents' lifeless bodies fell back to the floor with mingled expressions of surprise and sorrow still gracing their faces. I covered my mouth in an attempt to keep them from hearing me scream. I silently began crying and backed into the corner of the closet when I saw one of the three hooded people come towards the door.

The door opened and held my breath. I was hidden behind the clothes and I prayed the person couldn't see me. "Let's go. We must report to the Dark Lord that we accomplished our mission," one of them, a man, said making the Death Eater back away from my door. Then I heard three loud popping noises and they vanished. I scrambled out of the closet and began sobbing uncontrollably as I knelt next to my parents' cold bodies.

End Of Flashback

"...They never found out who killed my parents...It's my fault they are dead. I didn't stop the people that killed them. Sirius, it's my fault they're dead!" I said as I began to cry. Sirius wrapped his arms around me. I clung to the back of his robes and balled up the cotton material inside of my fists and cried into his shoulder.

"It's not your fault. Your parents loved you and didn't want you to get hurt. Don't blame yourself," he said. I found his voice very soothing and I pulled away slightly so I could look into his eyes. He unwrapped me from his arms and wiped the tears away from my face. "C'mon. You really should get some sleep, it's late. "

I nodded, stood up and walked over to the girl's dormitory stairs. I walked up a few steps and turned around to see him watching me. "Hey... Sirius," I called softly as I went back down the steps and stood in front of him.

"Yes?" he said still looking extremely concerned. I gave him a small smile an he became less tense.

"Will you come to Hogsmeade with me?" I asked shyly. He blinked and he smiled.

"You mean it?" he asked.

"Sure," I said honestly. He smiled and took my hand. I felt my entire arm tingle as his soft hand held mine.

"I'd love to," he said quietly. I stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek. I backed away, smiling sheepishly, as he raised his hand to his cheek, the place my lips had been moments before. I turned and began to walk up the stairs, but looked back once to see him watching me. I smiled again and walked up the stairs happily. Who would've thought all this could happen after a...
