The warm Gryffindor Common Room was rather inviting. The fire that was burning in the fireplace was making my cheeks rosy. A was a book spread open on my lap and I had almost finished the first chapter. I was reading Pride and Prejudice once again. I had read that book many times already, but whenever I ran out of books to read I just took that one back again and started to read it all over. It was by no doubt my favorite book, though my best friends thought it was a rather "girlish" thing to read. James Potter was sitting on the couch near me and he was playing with a golden snitch while his eyes kept flicking over to the other side of the room where a beautiful red-haired girl was porched on a side table surrounded by her friends. I shook my head and went back to reading. I wouldn't come through to James, even if I tried to. A deep sigh left my mouth, but after a while it became clear to me I wouldn't be able to concentrate much longer.

'I am going to take a bath,' I proclaimed to James and Petter. I got up and gathered my stuff before getting upstairs and grabbing some clean clothes. I could just take a bath in the bathroom here, but since it wasn't that late yet I could easily go up to the Prefect's Bathroom and take my bath there. James didn't even seem to have noticed that I had gone and Peter was too busy looking at the Snitch with which was playing — like usual. I rolled my eyes and laughed softly to myself before stepping through the portrait hole and disappearing into the hallways. With my clothes in my arms I came walking around a corner, but when I stepped into the hallway in which the Prefect's Bathroom was situated, I ran into a rather mouth dropping scene. Against the wall — right next to the bathroom's door — were standing two guys. Two guys that were making out rather enthusiastically and one of the guys was none other than Sirius Black. I blinked. Yes, of course I knew he liked guys, but was he seriously doing this here and right now? I coughed softly to make sure they heard me coming and Black looked up. His hair was sticking out in various directions. I swallowed. He looked far more attractive than I remembered him, especially with this hairdo.

'Can… I pass?' I asked and I gestured at the door. Black grinned and his eyes flicked to the pile of clothes in my hands. He nodded and took the hand of a Ravenclaw boy that I did not recognize. My cheeks got slightly red and I stepped past them. A soft squeak then left my mouth when I suddenly felt a hand smack against my behind. I spun around and the last thing I saw was a black haired boy winking at me before running away with his boy toy. I turned completely scarlet and ran into the bathroom, still feeling the place where the boy had playfully hit my ass burn slightly.

/Merry Christmas! And enjoy this second prologue (:
