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?

"Are you going to go to the Halloween party the Marauders are throwing?" Marlene asked Savannah one morning as they walked to Charms. Marlene was carrying her books, while Savannah had hers in a messenger bag that had an Undetectable Extension and Weightless Charm on it.
Savannah shrugged. "I don't have a costume."
"That's okay, there's a Hogsmeade trip this Saturday. That's when Lily and Alice are planning on getting theirs," Marlene responded with a smile as they climbed the stairs.
"You already have yours?" Savannah questioned, looking at Marlene as she stuffed her hands in the pockets of her robes.
"Yep. I'm going as a biker chick," Marlene replied as they arrived at the Charms classroom.
"Like from the 50's?"
"Exactly! Cool, right?"
"Yeah," Savannah replied as some Hufflepuff- they had this class with the Hufflepuffs- guy opened the door for them.
Marlene thanked the boy as she followed Savannah to their typical spot in the back.
"So, what do you say? Do you want to find an awesome costume with them this weekend?"
Savannah shrugged as she answered, "Sure."
There used to be an annual All Hallow's Eve Ball, but a few years before Savannah and the rest of them came to school people started ditching it in favor of the Halloween costume parties their houses threw. It was cancelled in their third year due to the fact that no one came anymore and the professors didn't want to put in the work they did if no one was going to attend. The All Hallow's Eve ball was formal, with everyone being required to wear their best dress robes. Now, there was a Halloween feast that everyone attended before going to the house costume parties.
Marlene grinned at her before Flitwick started the lesson.
Don't get too close, Savannah heard her parents' voices echoing in her mind before she tuned them out and leaned back in her chair, putting her feet on the table as she started eating a Sugar Quill. —— "Rise and shine!" Lily said in a singsong voice on Saturday morning.
Savannah groaned and buried her head in the pillow, not yet wanting to leave the warmth of her bed.
"C'mon!" Lily whined slightly, giving Savannah one last chance to get up peacefully.
Savannah groaned in response again and shrunk down under her covers. Mornings are not my thing, she grumbled in her head.
Lily smirked slightly before moving to the end of Savannah's bed and yanking the covers off of Savannah, who shrieked in protest and curled into a ball.
Lily tossed her a shirt and pair of jeans that she dug out of Savannah's trunk as she told her, "We're going to look for our costumes today, remember?"
Savannah stayed where she was for a moment, willing herself to leave her comfortable bed. She rolled over, expecting to see the top of her four poster, but instead she felt herself fall off of her bed. She groaned when she felt her back collide with the hard wood floors, closing her eyes until the pain faded. Of course this is how her morning began.
