First Meeting

Please enjoy lovelies! Vote and comment your favorite scenario! My favorite to write was Sirius Black... my baby!! :)

• James Potter

   Before meeting, you were always intimidated by him. James was always so carefree and determined that you couldn't imagine anybody not being extremely intimidated. And he was the bloody Quidditch star! As an aspiring Chaser, you sorta envied him, but mostly you just wanted to learn from him. Yet your ways have never crossed paths, so alas there has been no teaching and there's been no Chaser positions open on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Until now.

     Poor Johny Cleftfield used to be one of the greatest players there was, but sadly he took a tumbling a while ago, broke his leg, and now has a fear of flying and won't be back on the team anytime soon. So that means there's a search for a new Chaser, and you're determined to make it on to the team. You went to tryouts, with the new broom your parents got you last year and managed to make it to the last round. As you looked around and saw your fellow peers, your nerves doubled and you almost quit right there. But your name was called, and you told yourself to make it through this.

     A couple of days later you found out you made the team! As happy as you were, there was also the fear of failure in front of this team that's practiced together for years. But this fear left you during your first practice. You did your best work yet, and the entire team afterwards congratulated you. Lily Evans, your best friend since first year, who had come to practice to cheer you on, came up to celebrate with you. As she came into view you saw James' head turn and he immediately bombarded her with compliments and asked her out. When she, of course, said no, you couldn't help but laugh until your stomach hurt. Lily ended up going back to the common room without you, and that's when James entered your life. He came up to you, under the pretense of an after practice chat, but he was really looking for a favor. James wanted you to help him with Lily, as you were her best friend. You agreed on two conditions, one, that he'll teach you more about Quidditch and being a Chaser, and two, he won't tell anyone about this. He agreed almost too fast, and then there was no going back.

• Sirius Black

    " Nobody wants you here! Go back home to the dirt! You filthy Mudblood !" Those were the words a terrifying seventh year once screeched at you. Those words were what you heard as you felt them kicking and hurting you. In that moment all you were aware of were those words and the gaggle of Slytherins and a few Ravenclaws either hitting you or standing there watching. You didn't know why they were doing this, it didn't make sense to your second year mind that they'd be so hateful to you over something you had absolutely no control over.

     Sometime after those words you heard a shout, then some rustling, then finally the kicking stopped. You stayed crumbled on the ground though, too afraid the kids would come back. You felt a hand pull you up, and the next thing you know you were staring into beautiful grey eyes. Upon further investigation, you saw these eyes belonged to Sirius Black, an already infamous prankster in your year. Sirius helped you sit upright, and began to ask questions about what happened. You did your best to answer everything, but you were so tired and failed to catch everything. Sirius, seeing you were not okay, immediately picked you up and took you to the hospital wing.

      The next few days were spent with medicine running through your veins, and resting on a stiff bed not meant for comfort. When Madame Pomfrey finally deemed you healed, it had been almost a week. You walked down to the Great Hall, took your seat and tried to act normal, but something, or rather someone, caught your eye. It was the bullies that hurt you! They were now sporting bright red hair that seemed to be irreversible. You looked over to Sirius, because he's the only one who knew what happened, and he smiled at you. From that day Sirius stuck close by you, and over time the two of you became inseparable.
