50: Sirius Black - An Ordinary Girl

Warning! This is slightly longer than I intended it to be...

House: Hufflepuff

 I sat at the Hufflepuff table in the Great Hall at breakfast time, but my attention wasn't on food. It was instead on someone very specific sat at the Gryffindor table, and his name was Sirius Black. He was handsome, charming and always wore and irresistible smile. His gorgeous black hair and the way he tied it up into messy buns and ponytails made my heart beat fast. He was troublesome and playful as well as fiercely loyal when it came to his friends, something which I admired.

My feelings for Sirius were intense, them eating me up inside. He'd always be on my mind and would refuse to leave, but he didn't even know who I was. I was a plain girl with no outstanding feature. I wasn't popular, I wasn't beautiful, I wasn't intelligent, I wasn't a prefect, I didn't play sports - I was a normal girl of average height with (natural h/c) hair and dull (e/c) eyes. There wasn't anything interesting about me at all, meaning there was no reason as to why Sirius would ever consider me a friend, let alone consider me.

He had all the friends and girlfriends he needed even without me. It hurt me inside but it wasn't rare to see him with his arm slung over a girls shoulder. What was even more painful was that the girl seemed to change every month. I was someone who would want a solid relationship - not that I'd ever had any before. He however seemed like the type who was more into having fun, changing girlfriends without a care in the world.

"You're not still pining over him are you?" One of my close friends, Gabe, asked as he sat next to me on the Hufflepuff table.

"No, of course not," I lied, turning my attention to my breakfast.

"You're a terrible liar (y/n)," he scoffed and I rolled my eyes.

"Give her a break, you were that way about me before we started dating," Gabe's girlfriend, another one of my close friends, Maria said as she sat down on my other side. I noticed Gabe blush which made Maria and I chuckle.

"Yeah but you weren't like Black at all! Plus you were with Black, wasn't he an asshole?" Game counter-acted his girlfriend.

"No, we were in third year and kissed, like, twice. There was nothing between us. He's much less of a player than you think Gabe, he's really matured, I just think you're protective over the girls you care about," Maria said and Gave huffed.

"Is that so wrong? (y/n) you could do way better than him-,"

"No (y/n), you should try and go for it with him-,"

"No she shouldn't!"

"Yes she should!"

"Guys would you please keep your voices down!" I hissed at them as they had started to attract a lot of attention. "I don't think I'm gonna do anything. After all, he doesn't even know who I am..."

"You need to have more confidence in yourself. Plus we've been at this school for seven years, it'd be kind of rude of him not to know who you were," Maria said and I sighed.

"Look, we're gonna be late for class. Lets hurry up and eat," I said, desperately wanting to change the topic of conversation. This thankfully worked and the two of them instead debated over where to celebrate their two year anniversary. I on the other hand found my eyes wandering over to where Sirius was sitting with his close friend James Potter, the two of them messing about like they always did. Maria was right - Sirius had matured in comparison to previous years, but he still liked to tease and flirt with girls constantly.

"You do really like him don't you," Maria nudged my arm as she sat next to me in Defence Against the Dark Arts.

"I can't do anything about it Maria, he's way out of my league and he won't be interested in me in the slightest," I said honestly.
