The Ravenclaw Prefects showed the group of first years to their dorm rooms before retreating to their own. Amaryllis practically ran away from her fellow Prefect and groaned when Dorcas met her on the stairs.
"Ugh, you got stuck with Bertram Aubrey," Dorcas mumbled as she patted her full stomach. Amaryllis shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Merlin, what was Flitwick thinking? The standard for Prefect has really gone downhill." She ranted to her friend as they entered the dorm room, not getting any acknowledgment from the two other girls in their dorm.
"I believe it. Xeno would have been a much better candidate." Dorcas tells her, heading towards her bed. A scoff is heard on the other side of the room from Pamela. The brunette turns her head to look with a raised eyebrow. "Problem?" She asks, calmly.
"Only you two would think that loon Lovegood is a good candidate for Prefect." She scoffed out, with Violet nodding her head in agreement.
"I am Prefect as well," Amaryllis said, a hint of a threat in her tone. She was already changing into her pajama's, knowing that she would take a shower in the morning. "Don't think I won't hesitate to take points off of my own house." She added, slipping on her cotton shorts.
"I hate to admit that she is right about that," Dorcas mumbled, remembering the talk she was given after Amaryllis found out she was going to be Prefect. It was mainly about how she shouldn't try to use the badge as an excuse to goof off with her red-headed friend.
"Whatever." Pamela and Violet grumbled in unison.
Amaryllis sent Dorcas an exasperated look and then fell onto her bed. "Night."
The redhead shook her friend's arm as she attempted to wake the slumbering beast up. "Dorcas, get up." Amara hissed. "I want to get breakfast."
"Just go without me. I know that yo-you like to get up super early. The other two aren't ev-even awake yet and they wake up at 8." Dorcas yawned through most of her words. "Go." The brunette raised a sluggish arm to push Amaryllis away from her. This behaviour should be expected. Amaryllis had tried to get her up earlier the last few days to get Dorcas used to it, but the brunette wouldn't budge.
"Be down by 8. That gives you about an hour, but it still takes forever just to get down to the Great Hall." Amaryllis told her. Dorcas 'hmphed' in response and threw the cover over her head, mumbling something about 'her never being at breakfast when she finally gets there'. Amaryllis merely sighed and left their dorm room.
Not a soul was in sight as the Ravenclaw walked through the glorious castle. Most people were still asleep, or barely waking up. Breakfast should barely have started by the time she reaches the Great Hall if she has no distractions.
Jinxed herself.
Soon, another pair of footsteps walked in sync with hers, and she turned to view the culprit. "Morning, Evans." The Gryffindor said, with a grin.
"Morning, Black." She replied, attempting to be civilised. "What do you want?" Amara asked, bluntly. Sirius looked rather offended as he pressed a hand over his heart.
"Do I have to have some reason to want to walk with you to the Great Hall?" He queried, with a dramatic flare. Amaryllis raised an eyebrow at his antics and the boy shrugged. "I'm going to have breakfast with you." It wasn't a question.
"No, you're not." Amaryllis hissed, checking the halls for any other students.
"Calm down, Evans. It won't be suspicious, at all." Sirius reassured her, but the girl didn't believe a word that came out of his mouth. "James wanted one of us to 'interrogate' you about Lily. I 'reluctantly' volunteered before Remus could open his mouth to argue. Now, you get to spend time with your most favourite person in the world!" He finished with sarcasm. A smirk planted on his face as he looked down at the girl, who was currently rolling her eyes.
"I should be honored." She mumbled, sardonically. Sirius shrugged once more and threw an arm around her shoulders.
"Think of it as me trying to get to know you. I mean, I already know my way around your body," That earned him an elbow to the ribs. "But I don't know... you." He wheezed, holding a hand to his side.
"Guess I could say the same to you..." Amaryllis agreed, reluctantly.
"Maybe after this getting to know you exercise... we could do more than just our regular snogging." Sirius winked at her and Amaryllis shot him an irritated glare, the curling of her lips going unnoticed.
Several people glanced their way as the Marauder and Ravenclaw Prefect conversed, the former had dragged her over to Gryffindor table. The conversation consisted of the basics, like their favorite colors, holidays, food, etc.
"How can you not like Halloween?" Sirius whisper-yelled. Amaryllis shrugged, poking at her eggs with a fork.
"I just don't."
"But we always get a huge feast on Halloween. Our best pranks have happened on that night... How do you not like Halloween?" He asked, once more. Amaryllis rolled her eyes, pointing to her mouth which she had just filled with food, indicating that she couldn't speak. "I guess some people are entitled to their own opinion." He grumbled, grabbing a piece of toast. Amara nodded, swallowing her food.
"Favorite animal?" She questioned. At this question, a secretive smile tugged at the corner of Sirius' lips as he gave the answer.
"Dog." He answered with ease. Amaryllis raised a brow at the smile that appeared on his face but chose not to question it. "You?" Amara pursed her lips as she thought about the question. She liked dogs too, but, of course, she couldn't say that. No, she absolutely adored them, referring to any dog as a puppy, even the old ones. Sirius watched her as she thought it over, his eyes occasionally flickering towards her pursed lips.
Her gaze travelled over to the doors of the Great Hall, where her sister and a Slytherin entered. Both of them seemed to be in some sort of argument. She saw Lily gesture to the group of Slytherins Severus usually spent his time with and then she left him to sit at the Gryffindor table. Severus' gazed followed her, greasy hair shielding his face, looking distraught.
Amaryllis continued to keep her eyes on him and his onyx eyes met her own for a moment. She felt them widen but didn't dare look away. His eyes flickered to Sirius and then he looked between the two of them, in disgust. She saw his lips move, probably mumbling to himself before he stomped over to his group of Slytherin friends.
"Something interesting?" Sirius asked, trying to follow her gaze. Amaryllis' attention snapped back to him, she blinked slowly.
"Just my sister." She whispered. A groan threatened to escape from her lips when the other Evans spotted her sitting with Sirius, from where she was sitting. "Speak of it and it shall annoy you." She mumbled under breath. Sirius barked a laugh as Lily made her way over to them.
"What's going on here?" She demanded, sending a glare to a laughing Sirius.
"Nothing other Evans," Sirius answered. "Ravenclaw Evans and I are just eating breakfast, chatting, and whatever it is we have to do to for you to leave." He said with a cheeky smile. "Perhaps, you would like to join? I'm sure James will be here any moment." He added.
"No!" Lily shouted, abruptly. Several students around her gave her a strange look. Lily cleared her throat and adjusted her shirt, showing off the Prefect badge. "I mean, no thank you, Black. You two, continue." She left to her friends.
"Glad that she's gone," Sirius said, nonchalantly. His focus went to Amaryllis once more, but he became confused at the silence. She seemed very interested with her plate, making her seem sad, or perhaps it was angry. "Is everything alright?" He asked, eyebrows furrowed. Amaryllis looked up at him, with a blank face, making her gaze seem frosty.
"I think I'll be heading to class." She whispered, monotonously. "Tell Dorcas if you see her." She began to stand up.
"Classes don't start for another hour," Sirius told her.
"I want to walk around."
"I'll go with you."
"I don't need you to."
"I want to, plus you seem stressed." This earned an eye roll from Amaryllis.
"Perhaps, I just want to get away from you."
"Then why haven't you left already?" Sirius asks, eyebrow raised. The corners of his lips lift into a smirk as the girl runs a hand through her hair in annoyance. "I am leaving." She grabbed her bag and spun around on her heel. Her robes billowing out from behind her, red hair doing the same, and Sirius followed after her without hesitance.
"Must you insist on following me?" Amaryllis asked, turning the corner to a different corridor. Sirius shrugs, knowing that she isn't looking at him. She turns her head to view him and frowns at the smirk on his lips.
"I'm simply walking to the same places as you." Sirius counters. Amaryllis glares, abruptly turning fully, and stopping. This almost causes Sirius to bump into her, so he takes a few steps back.
"If you don't leave me alone, I will take points from your house. In case you've forgotten Black, I am still a prefect." Amaryllis' tone is low and threatening. Any other person would be intimidated by this and leave, but Sirius saw this as a challenge.
"Well," Sirius took a step closer to her. "I don't think you're going to do a thing, Evans."
"Oh really," Amaryllis said, coolly. "You are going to leave, Black." Unconsciously stepping closer to him, their chests nearly touching.
"Make me." His voice barely a whisper, yet challenging. It was when he tried to step closer to her that they realized the lack of space between them.
Their breath mingled together, and it was Sirius who made the first move, by pulling her against him and pressing his lips to hers. Amaryllis' anger washed away, and she wrapped her hands around his neck. His tongue grazed her bottom lip and she pulled back, becoming aware that anyone could see them if they walked down this corridor.
"We can't." She panted out. "Not here." She added. Sirius looked around the corridor to see if anyone was around. He grabbed the girls hand and pulled her into a nearby broom cupboard.
Amaryllis raised a brow at the boy as he closed the door behind him. "I was mad at you just a second ago." She mumbles. Sirius' usual grin appears and he leans closer to her.
"But I managed to make you forget about that didn't I?" He asks before pressing a kiss to her lips. Amaryllis muffled 'yes' is lost and her arms pull him against her.
And everything else is forgotten...
