A/N: I know there have been some spelling errors and when I tried to spell check and redo it the whole story was messed up so I haven't touched the past ones but I would like to thank you for baring with me.

Disclaimer: I know I do not own Harry potter and any plot twist and new characters are my own.

Flash Back

Genevieve Potter and Lily Evans stand in front of mirrors dressed in matching dresses except one it red and the other is green. Lily's dress is a halter that comes to her knees with strappy stilettos, flawless makeup and her red/ auburn hair pulled back and a mass of curls down to her shoulders. While Genevieve had altered her dress so it showed about and inch of cleavage and was mid-thigh. It was a beautiful red dress that hugged every curve just like Lily's did with the same strappy stilettos. Her hair was pulled back and cascaded down her back from a ponytail, where Lily's hair covered the back and shoulders.

"Wow, Genny, Sirius wont be able to keep his hand off of you tonight!"

"Who ever said I was after Sirius. Anyway's I'm not even going with him he's going with that girl from Beauxbatons. What was her name again? Oh right, Josephina Delecour, the half veela girl." Genevieve stated nonchalantly, or to the best of her ability," But my big bro has no clue what he's in for, he wont be able to stop drooling over you."

"Oh, pshah. James is very sweet and I've never seen him drool, when he isn't sleeping in History of Magic that is."

"Haha, lets go get our dates now."

"Wait you never told me who you were going with."

"Oh, well... Lets just say it will annoy my brother and Sirius ok? I want it to be a surprise." Genny said giggling.

"What ever you say."

As they glided down the stairs the four Marauders turned and gaped at the site of "little" Genevieve Potter and Lily Evans. James, not even noticing his sister walked straight over to Lily and placed her hand on his arm kissing her softly as he did so.

"Wow, Evans you sure clean up good." said James as he let his breath out.

"Thank you. What do you think of how your sister looks?" Lily asked not being able to resist the urge to watch his reaction.

James turned to look at his sister, only because Lily had said anything, and gasped," Genevieve Tanzania Potter! What in the world are you wearing? Go up and change this instant!"

"Who do you think you are? You are not father and you have no place to tell me what to do. And because you asked it's called a dress now get over yourself." Genevieve replied curtly as she swooped past him headed toward the exit.
Sirius turned to be polite when the girls came downstairs, but when he saw Genny he felt like he was just been hit in the stomach with a bludger. She wasn't a little girl in pigtails any longer but a beautiful young woman who could probably spell trouble for Sirius if anything was to happen between them The only reason that thought crossed his mind being that he didn't want to ruin his great friendship with James.

When they came down to the Great Hall for the dance at the bottom of the steps in fine silk dress robes was none other than Severus Snape.

"What are you doing here Snivellus?" Sneered Sirius.

"I'm here to pick up my date, if its any of your business."

"Aren't you at the wrong place? No one from Gryffindor would sink so low as to go with you." said James with a disgusted look on his face.

"Than I've sunk low, BROTHER, because I am Severus' date.' said Genevieve in a dry sarcastic tone.

"B-b-b-but why would you go to the ball with this piece of filth?"

"Probably because he noticed me and doesn't treat me like I'm some kind of little girl." Genny said this as she put her arm through Snape's and walked away.

Sirius' only thought as he went to find Josephina was that Genevieve should be at the dance with him. Not with Snivellus, but as soon as that thought came into Sirius' mind he tried to push it down. Thinking about his beautiful date instead, thinking those thoughts that all boys think when they know they have a "sure" thing.
A couple hours later

Sirius had decided to ask Genny to dance and as they glided across the floor Sirius finally asked," Early you said that someone treated you like you were a little girl. Was it someone you liked?"

"Yes"

"Who was it?"

"It was you, ok? I have liked you for as long as I can remember and all you have ever treated me as was a little girl or as something that wouldn't stop bothering you," whispered Genevieve as tears started to form in her eyes. " so I decided to stop trying to get you ,well except to try and make you jealous, when Snape asked me to go to the ball with him. I said yes because I have been talking more and more to him and he was the only one who saw me as a person and not as James' sister or Lily's friend. Or even as a little girl. I'm 16 years-old not some little girl who doesn't know anything."

Genevieve tried to pull away and Sirius only pulled her more tightly to him. "For weeks I have watched you wanting so badly to be able to hold you like this and the only thing that stopped me was the fact that you are James' sister. I love James as a brother and I don't want you and I to have a relationship and have something happen that'll cause me to lose both you and James. That was the only reason I have been trying so hard to resist you but I simply can't stand by any longer. Will you go for a walk with me?"

"Yes, I'd love to."

As they slipped through crowd they didn't notice that their dates were staring at them with seething dislike over being ditched. Once in the garden Sirius sat and pulled Genevieve onto his lap.

"I care a lot about you and I even love you. I know that maybe moving a little fast for you, Genny, but its the truth and it hit me full force today as I saw you in Snivellus' arms."

"And you don't think I don't feel that way for you? I love you Sirius and it has hurt me every time I saw you with another girl snogging or flirting"

A/N I hope you enjoyed it in the next chapter it will return to the present with Sirius having the flash back as he watches Genevieve sleep. Creepy I know but also kind of sweet.
