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?

Dalton struggled to keep a smile on his face when Sirius returned to the common room, a grin threatening to tear his face in half.
He pulled his shirt up to reveal the runes, which Dalton was immediately able to translate. This time, however, he frowned.
James got up and high-fived him. "Wicked!"
Remus and Peter nodded their approval. "Looks great, Pads," Remus told him. —— It was an hour or so before Savannah returned to the common room. When she entered, she was quite surprised to see Lily, Marlene, and Alice hanging out with the boys and talking.
Obviously Lily was beside James, who had his arm proudly draped around her shoulders. Marlene was beside Remus, with Alice beside Peter.
Savannah looked at the group, her expression clearly saying, "Really?" She didn't know the girls had liked hanging out with the boys that much. Though, in retrospect, she didn't really understand why she was all that surprised. Lily and James were dating and Marlene was dating Sirius's brother, so why wouldn't they all hang out?
"Sava! Come over here!" Lily called cheerfully, a smile on her face as she patted the empty couch beside her.
Savannah thought for a moment before she obliged. These were her friends after all, and if she wanted to claw her way out of the hole her parents had put her in, she had to be social and keep these friends.
So she sat down beside Lily, with Sirius in the oversized chair on the other side of her.
Speaking of Sirius, he flopped dramatically over the arm of said chair as he exclaimed, "I'm booooored," while dragging out the 'o' in the word bored.
Remus chuckled and replied, "How about the game Two Truths and a Lie?"
Now James was the one to sigh dramatically, "That game is for little kids! Like- first years!"
Remus laughed again. Dalton retorted with, "Yeah, but you and Sirius have the mentality of first years."
The girls all laughed, with Marlene saying, "Remus is right, boys!"
James and Sirius fake pouted, crossing their arms and pursing their lips for a moment before they smiled. "Alright, alright."
Dalton looked between Sirius and Savannah with a smirk. He had to admit that he was slowly becoming accustomed to the idea. The more he thought about it, the more he accepted it. Maybe Sirius could be good for her. He was one of the most extroverted people at Hogwarts, so maybe he could bring her out of her shell a bit. Besides, now that he knew, he could see the way Sirius looked at her. Why not at least give Sirius a chance? If he did anything to her, Dalton would beat him to a pulp anyway.
So Dalton spoke up, "I'll go first!"
Everyone turned their attention to Dalton, who was standing with a smirk. "Okay. Number one: I've always wanted to travel to Italy. Number two: I'm the older twin," he paused and shot Savannah a smirk. She immediately didn't like his expression.
