❝I fucking lost control and almost hurt you.❞
She never knew what she would become. She never knew what would happen in her future. She never knew of the Prophecy that Sybill Trelawney made about her.

Brooklyn woke up with a startle. Water was being poured in her nose by Sirius Black. She realized she had fallen asleep on the couch from staying up too late studying the previous night.
"I hate you Sirius Black!" Brooklyn shouted.
Sirius laughed it off but deep down, her words pierced his heart.
"Stop laughing, it's not funny." Brooklyn fumed. "You wouldn't like it if someone did that to you."
"If someone did that to me, I'd think it was hilarious." Sirius smirked.
"Ugh!" Brooklyn said before storming off to her dorm.
"Brooklyn, what's wrong?" Lily asked, concerned.
"Sirius woke me up by pouring water in my nose. He just stood there and laughed at me."
"Oh I'm sorry beautiful." Lily said, pulling Brooklyn into her arms.
"It's okay, I guess I should be used to it by now." Brooklyn replied, shaking her head. "He expects me to react like how he would react."
"I'm really sorry about that Brooklyn." Lily said. "You don't deserve his jokes. I'm sure he's just trying to impress you but he's going about it in the wrong way."
"I really wish he'd get the hint." Brooklyn said. "He knows I don't like him and I think he actually might hate me or something because of the things he's doing."
"Well, let's see how the next two days go. If they go horribly, then we just assume he hates you. But if he changes how he acts, then I'm sure he doesn't hate you. I don't even know if what I'm trying to say makes sense right now, I'm so tired. I didn't get much sleep last night."
"Thank you Lils."
"Of course Brooke."

"Who are those roses from?" Sirius asked Brooklyn when she walked into the common room.
"None of your business." Brooklyn simply replied.
"Why can't I know Brooke?" Sirius asked. "Just tell me who gave them to you. What boy gave them to you?"
Sirius' questions were coming at a million miles per hour. Brooklyn rolled her eyes and walked straight past him.
James noticed Sirius' questioning and walked up to him.
"What was that all about?" James asked.
"Nothing."
"C'mon Sirius, I know you. What was that all about?"
"She got flowers, specifically roses, from another guy."
"No she didn't. She got flowers from Lily. Brooke had a rough morning this morning so Lily asked me what colored roses Brooke liked. Brooke loves red roses, but they're not her all time favorite flower. Lily told me that she was getting some for Brooklyn to cheer her up."
"Oh." Was all that came from Sirius' mouth.
"Why do you care if she got flowers from another guy anyways?" James inquired.
"I don't care." Sirius replied.
"That's bullshit."
"Hey! Language!" Remus interjected.
"Sorry." James replied then turned to Sirius. "You wouldn't be throwing such a fit if it was nothing."
"She's just so pretty, you know?"
"She's my replica of course I know she's pretty, cause I'm pretty."
"She's nice too."
"No, correction, she's nice to everybody but you."
"That's true. But it just makes her more attractive in my eyes."
"The fact that she's mean to you means that you're more attracted to her?"
"Yes. I love it when girls play hard to get."
"You're 12."
"I know. But I know what I like in a girl."
"Okay buddy."
"I don't want to hear you Mr. "I'll Do Anything For You Lily", you act like you don't know what you like in a girl." Sirius said.
"Shut up." James said.
"Exactly, you know I'm right." Sirius smirked.
"Whatever Sirius." James rolled his eyes.
"Hey, hey, don't be so Sirius! That's my job!"
"You think you're funny don't you?" James asked.
"I know that I'm funny."
"Sure you are."

"Thank you so much for the flowers, Lily, it means a lot to me." Brooklyn thanked Lily.
"There's no need to thank me Brooke."
"Yes there is. Nobody has ever gotten me flowers that hasn't been a relative. You have no clue how much these mean to me."
"I'm glad they made your day. I'm always here for you Brooke."
"I know Lils. Sirius asked me which boy they were from."
"You know, I think he might like you just a little bit."
