He's the infamous Sirius Black. She's the quiet Savannah Stone. They're polar opposites. No one would think they would be friends, so no one would think that they could have feelings for each other. Or do they?

"Hey, Savannah?"
Savannah looked up from the book she was reading on her bed to see the redhead known as Lily Evans looking at her with curiosity in her emerald green eyes.
"I... I know you don't talk much... but I just lost a friend and I really need someone to talk to about it. Marlene would just tell me to flip him off and Alice would just give me hugs," Lily rambled, twisting her hands as she looked at Savannah nervously.
Savannah closed her book and made room for Lily on the bed, giving Lily the impression that she could sit. Lily did hesitantly.
Savannah knew what it was like to lose a friend. She knew what it was like to need someone to talk to. She may be a rebel, but she was also a Gryffindor. Gryffindors are loyal, no matter what. Well, most are, Savannah thought.
"You know I was friends with Severus Snape, right?"
Savannah nodded, watching Lily intently.
"And you know how much those Marauders- not your brother- bully him?"
Well, I wouldn't call it bullying. That little twit gets what he deserves. He's probably already helping that Voldemort guy. Plus, it's obvious Potter is in love with you and Severus is obsessed with you. As much as I don't like Potter, he'd be better for you than Snape.
Nonetheless, Savannah nodded, keeping her thoughts to herself. Her eyes were burning into Lily's, giving Lily the impression that she could see into her very soul. Lily liked having someone who paid attention, not just absentmindedly spewing out advice that they knew she wouldn't take.
"Well, earlier Potter and Black were holding him upside down with magic in front of everyone outside, down by the lake," Lily paused, looking at Savannah.
Savannah nodded, telling Lily to continue.
"I... I got them to stop. They said something to Sev-Severus and he called me a... a mudblood," she finished, whispering the last two words.
Savannah looked appalled. Who in their right mind would be mean to someone as smart and kind as Lily Evans?
Sure, she and Lily hardly talked but Savannah knew that she was kind. She and Savannah were the smartest girls in their year- actually the whole school.
Lily nodded and looked down, hurt clear in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Lily. Snape doesn't deserve your friendship if he's willing to call you something like that, even if it was just in embarrassment," Savannah finally said quietly. The fact that she said so much surprised Lily, making her look at her gratefully.
"I suppose you're right. I just didn't think that Severus was like that," Lily responded, messing with her hands again.
Savannah shrugged. "Sometimes people can surprise us in the worst ways."
