DISCLAIMER: THE WORLD OF HARRY POTTER BELONGS TO JK. ROWLING.

…'Twas a week later, and due to beautiful white snow; Dumbeldore had decided to have another Hogesmeade Weekend, to let the students enjoy Winter break. It had taken awhile to break loose of the twins and Lee to go meet up with Harry, Hermione and Ron, but finally Laura and Stephanie had managed to, when Stephanie gave Fred an arousing kiss, and pulled away ever so slightly, she whispered on his lips, " Frederick, if you don't stop pestering me, and asking what me and Laura are doing, you won't be getting any those from me any time soon."

Poor Fred looked a bit disheveled, but just said, " Come on, it's boy's day out!" and had scampered out, but not without huskily whispering " you know you love me" into Stephanie's ear.

Laura and Stephanie met up with the gang at the Three Broomsticks, and were getting ready to go inside, but surprisingly, the three pulled the girls in the back alley way.

" Ok," said Harry looking a bit worried, " I trust you guys, I don't know why, but I just do, and as a matter of fact we all do, now I need you to not repeat what I am about to tell you."

The girls both nodded mutely. " We are going to go find my Godfather because I haven't seen him in ages, but before we do, I must tell you, that my godfather is none other then Sirius Black, although I promise you he is not a killer as he is believed to be..."

" I know."

" ...and not matter what you think—what?" Harry looked at Laura totally thrown off guard. " What do you mean you know?"

" I was in the hospital wing last year when you went back in time to free him, I had my invisibility cloak on, because I had to get some medicine from the nurse's cabinet without her knowing for…uh.. and I heard you guys, I've never said anything about it before, because it was none of my business, but don't worry, I believe you." Laura said with an honesty radiating from her eyes.

Harry looked like he had been slapped in the face, and everyone else just gaped at her with their mouths open. She knew Stephanie was probably a bit shocked she hadn't told her, but she would get over it in 2 minutes. All of a sudden, Harry recovered saying, " Rite then, let's go." And the five set off for the cave.

Upon entering the cave, Harry, Ron and Hermione went in first, then Stephanie and lastly Laura, looking at the bottom of her robes, because she had slightly tripped and was trying to avoid any mud on the way. So she didn't see the man standing in front of them…

" Hello, my name is Sirius Black, Harry has told me all about you two in his letters." He extended his hand to Stephanie and then Laura. When Laura finally looked up she was met with the fiercest gray eyes she had ever seen. To her the world had stopped as she gazed in the deep somber pools that lay in front of her.

"...Uuhh.. Hi, I'm Laura, this is Stephanie." She managed to stumble out of her mouth.

He never once took his eyes off of Laura, and said " Pleased to meet you both."

They all sat in the cave as Harry and Sirius talked about the tournament and Sirius ate the chicken Hermione had brought him. Laura felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't know why. She kept looking around the cave, refusing to look in Sirius's eyes, because she feared that if she did, she would lose herself inside their depth, and that scared her. Finally, they needed to head back to the castle, and no one was happier then Laura, because she would finally get out of this confusing situation.

" Here, let me walk you back, it's dark, no one will see me." Had said Sirius

Great! Just Great! I think I can finally escape the man and he has to bloody follow us.

Laura could feel his eyes boring holes in the back of her head as he watched her walk down the hill to the village. At the base of the hill they had to part so Sirius would not be discovered by the townspeople. They all said their goodbyes, and when it came to Laura and Sirius, she slightly looked up…damn those eyes again! And those lips! God get out of my head. Go away!

" Are you all right Laura?"

"Yes, fine, it was nice to meet you. See you around...well not around since you can't really be discovered, well, you know what I mean." Great, embarrass yourself even more then Laura. SUAVE!

" I do hope to see you all again..." as the gang had started walking away, Sirius slightly grabbed Laura's shoulder and whispered, " Thank you for never telling anyone when you found out about me last year, Harry told me before you came in the cave." And with a slight kiss on the cheek he left her standing there.

And That was the fateful day Laura met the heartthrob that is Sirius Black.
