The Beginning:

Sirius would always remember the first time he laid eyes on her. She was absolutely teeny tiny, with eyes a brown so deep they were almost black, making them seem all the bigger in her little heart shaped face. With a riot of dark oak curls that fell to the top of her shoulders, tan of skin with a few sun kissed freckles on her cheeks, and two slightly too large front teeth. She was the definition of adorable.

She was standing with an elderly couple, all in Muggle attire. Her back was to the train, as she fidgeted nervously. The older couple trying to comfort her, while trying to hide their own obvious nervousness. Sirius nudged Mooney's shoulder next to him, grabbing his attention. He flicked his head in the trio's direction. Moony looked over, his eyebrows raising up high on his forehead.

"A muggle-born?"

Sirius nodded. He made eye contact with Moony, knowing they were thinking the same thing. Both remembering the sight of a tiny, teary eyed, red haired girl staring at the train in trepidation. It was an old memory, a bittersweet one. Sirius turned then, bending down to his Godson who was looking all around the station with thrilled curiosity..

"Hey Harry."

Nervous excitement radiated off him. The boy couldn't stand still, bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet. Sirius and Remus both chuckled at the site. His black hair is a familiar mess, and green eyes bright. It tugged at his heart, every time he looked at that face. Seeing the perfect mix of his two lost friends.

"See that child over there?" Sirius pointed out the trio standing at the end of the train station. Harry's nose scrunched up.

"You mean the girrrl?"

He drawled out 'girl' in a way that only little boys could. Sirius could hear Remus try and stifle another chuckle.

"Yes Pup, the girl. She's a muggle-born, just like your Mum was."

Harry's nose un-scrunched, and he looked at the girl curiously. Sirius stood back up and watched as Harry gave the group a good once over. He had always had a good sense about him. Soon enough, the boys eyes softened, and his shoulders sagged a bit. The two friends watched as everything clicked into place for the boy.

"She looks nervous. This gotta be a big change for her huh?"

Moony and Sirius shared a smile before nodding to their young charge.

"Yes, I would think so. How about you go and introduce yourself? I'm sure it might be a little less scary if she had a friend to help her."

Harry's cheeks turned red as a tomato, His eyes getting comically large.

"Friends? With a girl?"

Sirius and Remus couldn't help but laugh at the alarm in his voice.

"Yes, friends with a girl. Believe me, it's better to learn to talk to girls now, rather than later. Right Remus?"

Sirius nudged his friend again, and the Werewolf blushed remembering his very public failed attempt at asking Mary McDonald out 5th year. Sirius took a moment to bask in his own smugness before turning back to Harry, who was still eyeing the other child as if she was a viper.
