Stranded (Sirius Black x OC)

9

The storm grew louder and wilder the longer Alice sat there. The black lake was rippling with wrath and the trees branches fought their battles against the wind. Chaos was around her but the green eyed girl had never been calmer. A voice rang out from behind her, scaring her slightly as she had assumed she was alone. 

"The storms getting bad you need to come in." The voice sounded out of breath liked they'd been running. Alice didn't look to see who it was, she thought it would have been one of the boys looking for her sent by Lucius. Alice didn't want to go in just yet so she stalled. "It's not that bad." The girl replied in a soft voice just loud enough for the concerned boy to hear. 

Sirius was confused, weren't they scared to get hit by the lighting that was forming. "Aren't you scared of the storm?" He waited for the girls reply. "No." Alice replied " I've always found storms calming. My friend and I, well he might not be my friend anymore, but we used to sit in on his roof in the middle of a storm. Our parents thought that it might scare us into following rules. Mind you he never seemed to like it, but i, i thought it was nice. The thrill of something bigger going on around you." Alice trailed off thinking about hers and Sirius' childhood and where it all went wrong.

The boy thought about how similar the twos childhoods were, they must have been a pureblood, most purebloods have the same upbringing. He thought of Alice and how he thought she didn't show her emotions when they sat in the storms, she was always quiet with her auburn  hair flowing behinds her with the wind.

The two 2nd years oblivious to who the other was on the other side of the tree trunk.

There was silence between the two before the brown haired boy spoke up. "You should really come in now, I don't know who you are but I'm worried for you." He had a strange strain in his voice. "I don't want you to get hurt today as well." The girl sat for a moment more. He didn't know who she was, this was good as they can't get her in trouble. "I'll leave when you go, I promise." Alice had sweetness in her voice that made people comply to her wishes most of the time, this was one of those times. 

"Okay then, I'll see you around stormy." And with that he left shielding his eyes from the snappy wind. The green eyed girl waited a couple of minutes before dragging herself down to her common room, stopping before entering, preparing herself for the mayhem that will occur when she walks though the door

Alice took a breath before muttering the password and stepping through. She was met by a voice yelling and everyone sitting deadly still and a single pair of feet pacing before stopping and turning to face her. "Alice Nott!" A voice yelled "Where in Salthazars  name where you." 

Nobody made a sound as Alice lifted her head slowly from the floor looking the voice dead in the eyes, gulping slowly.
