Sirius had not seen the boy from the party again during the holiday period. He even ventured to the ministry's New Year's Eve party, in the hope he'd catch a glimpse of the sandy haired boy. Unfortunately, he had been nowhere to be seen and Sirius was left alone at midnight.
Now he was back at Hogwarts sitting on the cold grass with his homework. He wasn't doing his homework. No, he'd given up on that about an hour ago. Now he was playing with the grass and skimming stones on the lake. He was humming to himself as he heard someone else's soft footsteps. Any other wizard would not have heard them. But he was a vampire. He assumed it was Severus or his brother Regulus and his friends so Sirius didn't bother to turn and see who had sat down next to him. That was, until the second boy spoke.
'Nice to see you again Sirius.' Remus smiled as he said this.
Sirius's POV
My head whipped round faster than it ever has before. And there he was. There he was in this moment. All the efforts over the holiday period seemed a lifetime away. All the failures and the disappointment of not seeing him. Here he was, sat a few inches away from me. In his Hogwarts robes. The robes that glaringly showed a red and gold lion badge.
This boy was a Gryffindor. Does that matter? Yes. Erm, I mean no. It shouldn't. I realised I'd zoned out at the same time Remus cleared his throat. That long, pale throat. Just dying for you to sink your fangs into it. Stop it! This is not the time. My vampire growled back at me as I hushed it.
I smiled my most charming smile at Remus.
'Hello Remus' I purred. He blushed to the same colour as Evans' hair and fidgeted. I chuckled and laid down on the grass.
'How were your first few days?' I asked.
'It's been okay, strange though. This place is confusing. I wish everything was in the same vicinity. I got lost on the way to my classes a few times. A few older Slytherins told me the wrong way. One kind of looked like you actually.' He laughed.
My heart clinched at the fact it was probably my brother that had sent Remus, sweet Remus, the wrong way for his classes.
'But the Gryffindors are okay I suppose,' he finished. I scoffed and he pushed me lightly. I laughed at him as I pulled him down next to me to lie on the grass.
My vampire purred inside knowing I had made him do what I wanted and lie down. It positively buzzed that I had made him laugh and smile. That was strange, my vamp never reacted like this to anyone else. I put that idea to the back of my mind as we made small talk.
For a change, I was happy. Here I was with Remus, the boy I'd just met but felt so close to. His tinkly laughter made my heart soar and I just wanted to pull him close to me. I didn't but I wanted to.
Slowly, the sky grew darker and I knew it was time for dinner. I stood up and leant down to help Remus stand. He took my hand and blushed and a surge of possessiveness went through me. This boy would be mine. Ours! Right, right, ours. I dropped his hand as he stood fully and almost missed the sad look that crossed his face. I smirked at him as we walked toward the Great Hall.
We stopped just outside the doors and I told him to go in first. I waited a few minutes and entered the hall. I sat at the Slytherin table facing the Lions. I caught his eye and winked. The boy blushed the same fiery red and ducked his head. I chuckled and turned to pretend I was part of my brothers conversation.
