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?

"Any tips for me, Prongs?" Sirius Black asked James Potter as they started getting the Gryffindor common room ready for their Halloween party that night.
"Tips for what, Padfoot?" James asked as he was making the couches, chairs, and tables disappear.
"To get Savannah to at least dance with me tonight," Sirius replied, setting up a table on each side of the fireplace.
James looked around wildly to make sure Dalton wasn't around. "Woah, mate, do you want Dalton to hear you and kill you?"
Sirius remained silent, wanting James to give him the advice he asked for.
James sighed as he was setting up a muggle gramophone in the corner of the room. "Just... ask her politely. Hang around her as much as she'll let you tonight," he paused, "It worked with Lily."
Sirius nodded, thinking. Merlin, how great would it be if I actually got her to dance with me?
James stood from where he was kneeling beside the gramophone. "I'm gonna run to the kitchens to grab the snacks."
Sirius nodded, not looking away from the Halloween banners he was hanging up above the fireplace.
James shot him one last look before leaving. He really was a lovesick puppy- no pun intended. —— James was nearly to the kitchens when he seen Savannah walking back to the Gryffindor common room.
"Hey, Savannah!" James called out, wanting her attention as an idea popped into his head.
Savannah walked over to James. She looked at him, imploring him to tell her what he called her over for. She looked around, checking if they were alone. The corridor was deserted.
"Today's Halloween, yeah?" James started.
Savannah raised a brow before replying, "Yeah...."
James smiled, "And people wear costumes on Halloween, right?"
"Where is this going, James?" Savannah asked, already annoyed and seriously wondering if he was dim.
James shifted slightly, responding, "Just give Sirius a chance tonight, okay? Pretend you're not you and that Sirius isn't Sirius. Just... use this night to get to know him. You're friends with Remus and me and Peter-well sort of with Peter- so why not try to be friends with him?"
Savannah was momentarily stunned, frozen in her spot. Where the hell did that come from? She was still rooted to her spot when James shot her one last smile before turning and walking away.
Wait, I'm friends with James Potter? Since when? —— "The party is supposed to start at seven, right?" Lily asked Alice and Savannah, who were laying on their beds. Everyone had just gotten back from the Halloween feast in the Great Hall.
"Yeah," Alice replied, not looking up from the magazine she was flipping through.
"So should we start getting ready?" Lily continued, getting up and moving to her trunk, where her costume was hid.
