Sirius raised his hand.

"Mr. Black, please move to the center of the classroom. Everyone else, spread out."

We followed her instruction.

"Now, class, observe carefully what happens," Prof. LeGrande said, and hurried out of the classroom.

She walked back in with a girl. The professor whispered something in her ear.

The girl nodded, and walked right in front of Sirius.

Prof. LeGrande nodded to her.

She started dancing beautifully, twirling, stepping, and moving her arms gracefully.

I looked at the girl closely.

The Veela didn't seem to be affecting me at all.

I looked at Sirius.


SIRIUS

I watched the Veela dance, and spin gracefully.

I felt like I had to do something, anything to get her to notice me.

I have lost it, I thought.

Suddenly, I felt myself brought back to Earth.

I could hear whispering around me.

I grinned at the Veela.

Her impassive face reminded me of the expression of most Slytherin. A specific Slytherin, as a matter of fact…

Skye Victoria Potter, James' little sister, is a Veela.

"How did it feel?" I asked Sirius once he was beside me.

"What do you mean?" he asked me.

I explained to him about the Veela having no effect on me.

"Well, DUH," Sirius and Remus chorused.

I looked between them confusedly.

Just then, Skye walked up behind Sirius and Remus.

Skye grinned at Remus. "How'd I do?"

"You were amazing," he smiled at her.

"Absolutely stunning," Sirius said.

She smiled faintly. "So you figured it out?"

I looked at her confusedly.

"Jamesie, I was the Veela in question." Skye said, laughing. "As for the no effect, I'm your sister. You're not going to go gaga eyes (Skye shudders) over me. Looks like the effect is that you didn't recognize me," then she turned to Sirius and Remus. "You seen Lily?"

They shrugged.

"Seeya," the younger twin said, walking off.

Sirius, Remus and I walked over to the next period, Potions with the Slytherins. Blech.
