Chapter 3

First Person POV - Aditi

"Aditi!"

I looked up from my book to find my best friend, Gideon Prewett, walking towards me. I smiled at him, and placed my book down for the moment.

"Hey Gid," I said as he took a seat next to me. With a nod, he began piling food into his plate. The boy didn't stop until his plate looked like it could feed an army.

"You sure that's enough?" I asked laughing. He stuck his tongue out at me and focused on the plate in front of him. He could eat but no matter how much he did, he never gained weight. I on the other hand am a food addict but will gain weight at the drop of a hat. Life is just unfair sometimes.

"Dude, did you see Emma today? She is looking fine!" Gideon said in between his bites. "I'm definitely going to try to sit next to her in class today"

"She just broke up with her boyfriend! Don't you think there's some sort of mourning period?" I asked shaking my head.

Gideon scoffed. "He's still alive Adi. I'm just helping get through this awful time." Gideon said with an innocent face.

"Aren't you a saint?" I replied, as I picked my book. Gideon continued conversations with friends surrounding him while I focused on her book. When I start a book, I have to finish it no matter what. I don't like to be disturbed and I rarely notice the world around me. My friends recognized that fact which is why they were ignoring me. Unless there was a fire around me, I don't really get disturbed which works out well for me. Even then, I'd probably be annoyed first and then freak out.

But this morning was different. I almost threw my book in the air when Gideon randomly started to shake me by the shoulder, a little violently.

"What?" I said a little annoyed. Gideon should have known better.

"Why is the entire Gryffindor table staring at you?" he asked.

"What?" I said again as I looked towards the Gryffindor table. Eight different pair of eyes were looking in my direction. Of course as soon as I look up, they averted their eyes. Well most of them. One pair of eyes were still staring at me. As soon as my eyes connected with his, I suddenly felt shivers.

What is going on? I'm not even cold. I thought as I broke contact with him and looked back at my plate. They must have mistaken me for someone else. There's no way the most popular seventh years would be interested in me.

"Who knows?" I finally replied, realizing that Gideon was still looking at me waiting for an answer. I finished my orange juice before getting up. "I'm going to go talk to the Professor before class. I'll see you there."

I left the great hall, entering the solitude of my own mind. I wasn't really thinking about anything but it always felt good to start the morning off with some peace and quiet, even if it's in my head. I sometimes get into the state where I don't notice anything about me and just blindly walk around. I've definitely ended up in random places, not knowing how I got here. Like that time when I wanted to go to the library but ended up in the astronomy tower. You would think that I would have noticed climbing up that many stairs but…

"HEY. HEY YOU IN THE RED"

Startled out of my thoughts, I immediately looked down at my shirt, not expecting it to me but it was. I turned around, confused as to who would be trying to get my attention. But as soon as I turned around, all I saw was a large body heading directly towards me. I opened my mouth to say something but it was too late. He was coming at a fast speed and it didn't really look like he was stopping. I don't think he realized that I would turn around and stop as fast as I did. His face reflected my face of terror as he realized in that quick second that we were about to collide.

"Wait…" I started to say before he crashed into me and I ended up on the floor, my hair spreading all over the floor looking like a pillow beneath my head. I was knocked out of breath and opened my eyes to find dark brown eyes staring back at me.

"Eugh get off of me!" I say as I pushed the owner of the piercing eyes from this morning off me. He got off and extended his hand to help me. Being a bit of a prideful person, I just get up without his help.

"Hmm, that's usually not what girls say to me" Sirius said grinning.

"Are you always in such a rush?" I start to brush myself off and looked around for my books. They couldn't have gone that far. I look up to see Sirius holding my bag in which I extend my hand indicating for him to give it to me.

"Not usually, just when I see a beautiful girl" Sirius replied winking as he handed me back my bag.

I just give him an odd look, wondering why his eye was twitching. "Um, right… was there something you needed?" I asked curiously.

"What? I can't talk to someone without wanting something?" He asked, giving me an innocent look.

"Well of course you can but I just assumed. Well if there's nothing…" I meekly said as I started to walk toward my common room. I was a little embarrassed that I assumed something about someone. See, I hate when people assume things about me so I try not to do it to them. But I'm only human, I tend to slip up every once in a while. Totally not my fault.

First Person POV - Sirius

I walk back to the great hall, still trying to process everything in my head. What. Just. Happened? How the bloody did the girl just walk away from me? There is something definitely wrong with her in my opinion. Usually by now, I get a date and even a snog fest. But I didn't even get her name! Other than Lily, I don't think anyone has said no to me. Yes I actually did try to ask Lily out in my fourth year. I know now to never do that again after I remained bald for two weeks because a certain someone was jealous. Yeah isn't that unbelievable: a fellow marauder turned on another marauder because of a girl. But I forgave him after returning the favor of course. I mean, even Emmeline went out with me for a day or something and she hates me. Or maybe, the reason she hates me is because I dumped her after a day. Hmm, there's a thought. I'll have to look into that.

"How did it go?" Remus asked smirking

I somehow ended up back in the Great Hall. When I saw Remus' smirk, it all made sense to me. That had to be the reason. There is no other possible way that she could have said no to me. It's just physically, emotionally, mentally and any other way impossible that she would reject me otherwise.

"She's a lesbian isn't she?" I asked completely serious. And no pun intended. Well not really. That joke never gets old.

The rest of the Marauders' just looked at me before laughing. What is so funny? Can't they see the logic? The only reason that she rejected me is because she doesn't like men in general. Ask any girl here: I'm the ideal guy that any girl would want as her boyfriend.

"She didn't fall for your tricks did she?" James asked still laughing.

"No. Which leads me to believe that she has to be a lesbian!" I say slamming my fist down to emphasis my point. Of course, this caused them to just laugh even harder. I swear, they think that my misery is funny. What kind of friends are these?

"I'm pretty sure she isn't. She went on a date last year with some guy." Remus said gathering his stuff to leave the great hall as was the rest of his crew. Wait, did I hear correctly? Remus' actually knew her?

"Remus you sly devil, you know her? I thought you just picked some random girl!" I asked with shock in my voice and face.

"Of course I know her. If I chose someone I didn't know, there's a chance they are in your fan club. But I know for a fact she isn't." Remus replied opening the door to leave.

"Come on Remus, tell me about her. I have the right to know who I am dealing with." I whine, begging him for details. Yes, I'm not above begging if it means winning the bet. I will do anything to win a bet. Sirius Black has never lost a bet and he definitely isn't starting now.

Wow I just thought of myself in third person. It does have a certain pizzazz to it. I might do this more often.

"Or you could find out yourself. Better hurry, timing is running out." Remus smirked as he wandered off near the library leaving all three of us to look at his disappearing back in awe.

"I'm not sure if I should be proud of him or scared." James asked staring at him. We were still trying to figure that out when we found ourselves at the entrance to Gryffindor. Peter said the password "Grumpy Giants" and we walked in.

We went to our room to the boy's room and I immediately went towards my drawing board. You know, the kind that military officers have? Yes I actually went out of my way to buy one of these babies. I've always wanted to be a cool military officer: how amazing would that be? Besides, girls love a man in uniform.

"Alright men. We have a serious mission at our hands" I take out my little stick thingy (who knows what they are called? I'm pretty sure the people in the military don't even know what it's called) and I start to pace around with my heads in the back. "This is a classified and a top priority mission. I need you soldiers to find out everything we can about this girl: her name-"

"Aditi" James interrupted. I look at him about to bless him and then yell at him for interrupting the briefing. "Her name is Aditi and she's the Ravenclaw prefect." Oh, he didn't sneeze. Whoops.

"Good job, Solider Prongs. We are making progress." I say as I write her name out, spelling in the best I can "Adethi". Give me a break, I never heard of the name. "Now that we have that, I want you to find out all the details you can about her. You have exactly three hours to report back to me. Ready? Break!" I say slapping my sticky thingy on the board, with authority. My fellow soldiers just look at me and laugh at me. How dare they laugh at the general?

"Why aren't you moving? I said break" I said stomping my foot. No, not a like a little girl. Don't even think of it.

"Alright alright, would you relax? It won't be hard to find out information about her." James said as he got up and left the room with Peter. I swear they don't let my creative butterfly soar. They just stamp on it and then kick it to the moon. They are horrible friends. But that doesn't matter right now.

Operation Make Aditi Fall In Love With Sirius (MAFILWS) is underway!

Thanks for reading chapter 3! Please review! I could always use feedback. :)
