Ch 2: Sirius
Third Person POV
Deep in thought, Sirius Black roamed the halls of Hogwarts languidly. He should have been taking in every detail of the corridor walls (it was his last year), but instead, another worry weighed on his mind.
Seeing his friend in a trance-like state, James decided to check out what in Merlin's name could call for his best mate to actually think.
"So what ch'ya pondering, Padfoot?" James broke the silence.
"Well…uh…," came the caught-off-guard reply.
It was then that (of course!) the beautiful Miss Evans turned the corner to where we were both standing. James eyes', and thus, his full attention were immediately averted to the emerald-eyed, red-haired beauty.
Once again, Sirius thought wryly, the best mate gets put off till later for the gal. Since this was routine, Sirius merely spun around and strode purposefully back to the Gryffindor common room. Sirius' thoughts once again strayed to an earlier topic: Lily and James, and about how lucky they were to have each other.
He had always wondered what it was like to really love someone. Not to merely ask a bird out, but to really love that special someone.
As he approached the Fat Lady he muttered the password (Phoenix-fire), and stalked immediately toward the boys' staircase. On his way, he half-glanced at a group of girls who appeared to be gossiping about something or another. When the group saw him looking, they erupted into giggles and hid their faces.
Sirius knew that about a fourth of the girls in Gryffindor wanted to go out with him, but he didn't want that. He wanted something like what Lily and James had. He wanted nothing to do with all of those dramatic break-ups that many people have the misfortune to go through.
Sirius Black, with most of his family as Death Eaters, and others, just plain evil, wanted love.
The question: With whom?

A/N:While falling into the veil in the Department of Mysteries, Sirius thinks for the last time that he will be alone: James had Lily, Remus could have Tonks, and Harry has Ginny. But who did he have? Now even in his death he will be Loveless. Or will he?
