Arya Potter woke up to the most awful headache of her life; James insisted on banging pots and pans in her ear to wake her up knowing they didn't have to leave for another three hours. Arya groaned as she woke up looking at her twin brother "Do you ever know when to chill out and let someone sleep. It's eight-thirty we don't have to leave for another couple hours" she said as she rolled putting a pillow over her ears to drown James out.

"Where is the fun in waking you up normally"

Arya turned back around and glared at him "Fine, I'm getting up. Get out." she said as she shooed James out of her room and shut and locked her door. She was going back to her fourth year of Hogwarts today whether she wanted to or not. She loved Hogwarts but she would do anything to spend just a few measly hours in her own bed before she had to share a dorm with three other girls.

Arya pulled her long brown hair up into a ponytail and put on a nice pair of mom jeans that were light blue with small rips in the knees, a white and black striped long sleeve that cut off just above her belly button, and her favorite butterfly necklace her mum had gotten her and headed down stairs and there he was staring at her.

Sirius Black, her brother's best friend, waiting for Arya and James so they could go to breakfast before the train. It had been a tradition since their second year at Hogwarts to go to a nice breakfast before their first day back. "Morning, black" she said, still a bit tired as she sat down at the table, patiently waiting for her brother.

"Good morning Ary, James is still getting ready?"

"I don't know why you're asking, you know he is," she said, chuckling to herself; that's when she felt the butterflies forming in her stomach as they talked, the blushing started, and she started looking at him more as they talked. Did she have a crush on her brother's best friend?

Arya shook the feeling away as James came down the stairs beckoning for them to hurry up. As they were walking, Arya zoned out of whatever conversation Sirius and James were having and looked around paying attention to all of the beautiful flowers that were around her trying not to think about Sirius. She didn't understand where that feeling came from, but she hoped that it didn't come back. She couldn't do that to James and she certainly didn't want to mess up her and Sirius's friendship.

When they arrived at the restaurant they found a table outside and sat down. It was a nice morning to get a cup of coffee and sit outside but her thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of James' voice. "Ary, you've been quiet the whole walk here, is something wrong?" James looked concerned as he looked at his sister, but Ary nodded, taking a sip of her coffee "I'm fine James, really" she said looking at him "plus, it's just a nice morning." she added as James nodded and she listened in on Sirius and James conversation. 

"Just think of all of the pranks we're playing on Snape this year!" Sirius said as he took a bite out of his muffin James chuckled a bit as he took a sip of his juice "I already have a long list of pranks for him" Arya glared at James and Sirius and stood up "You guys are horrible to him. Just leave the poor boy alone!" she said as she paid for her coffee and started walking home. She didn't like Snape either, but the boys went overboard with the pranks they pulled on him.

Arya made it halfway home when Sirius caught up to her, pulling her arm. "Arya, I'm sorry. I can't promise we won't pull a prank on him, but I promise that we will try our best not too.." he said looking at her but all she did was push him away and kept walking. Seriously, who did he think he was? She knew that they pull pranks all the time, but they were just too harsh to Severus. She was only so protective of Snape because despite her brother hating him, Severus has been a good friend to her in the past.

When Arya arrived home she grabbed her trunk and headed for Kings Cross, alone just so she could get away from her brother. She tried her best not to think about the feelings she felt for Sirius earlier, but it was eating her up inside; surely, she didn't have feelings for her brother's best friend, and surely this was all just made up feelings but she just couldn't shake the feeling away. She had feelings for her brother's best friend... now what does she do?

She got to the train just in time, she found a seat, knowing eventually her brother and their friends would find her so she pulled her sketchbook out and started drawing. It was her favorite hobby, and she drew for everyone. Eventually, she heard her friends and her brother come in and sit down, but she didn't talk to them she didn't even look at them, just the occasional glance u at them until three out of the four of them were asleep leaving her and Sirius the only ones awake. Her and Sirius Black were alone.

Sirius was the first one to speak "Ary, really. I'm sorry, okay?" He said softly looking up at her all she did was shake her head a bit "Don't apologize. It's fine. I'm over it," she said back as she kept looking at him for a second.

"What are you drawing?"

"You, Peter, James, and Remus."

"No way, let me see"

Arya looked at him before showing him the picture and for a second their hands were touching and her face lit up bright red, hoping Sirius didn't see it, but he did
