Overview: Sirius Black could only recall five times in his life when he felt as if time stopped. All those times just happened to revolve around you.

Warnings: None, just some language.

Only five times in his life could Sirius recall feeling his head spin, his stomach churn, and his heart flutter all at once and in full force. If he were to describe it, he would've said time itself had stopped. All so the universe could give him a chance to look at you.

He was never a believer of love at first sight.

Attraction at first sight? Sure. Lust at first sight? Of course. He even believed in like at first sight. But live was simply something he reserved for those he felt really deserved it from him.

Still, Sirius had to admit, he sure felt something when he first saw you.

"Moony," He muttered, trying to catch the attention of his friend as they walked into the great hall for the start-of-term feast. "Who's the witch talking to Evans?"

Remus gave you a once over before turning back to Sirius, an eyebrow raised ever so slightly. "She's an Ilvermorny transfer. I remember hearing her name earlier today, but I've forgotten it."

"I see," Sirius hummed, taking a seat at the Gryffindor table across from his two other best friends, James and Peter.

"Why?" Wondered remus, bringing his voice down to a whisper as the professors filed in. "The lass caught your eye?"

Sirius shrugged, his eyes surveying the room until he spotted you, your hair messily held back by a clip, wisps of strands hanging loosely in the front as you tossed your head back in laughter. "Perhaps so."

"Who're we looking at?" James called from across the table, blatantly staring in the direction of Sirius' gaze.

"Evans?" Suggested Peter, joining in on the gawking. "Or the witch next to her?"

Feeling the four pairs of eyes on them, you and Lily turned in Sirius' direction, causing Remus to slap the palm of his hand on his forehead.

"Could you ninnys be any more obvious?"

"Hey--" James protested, pulling his eyes away as Lily marched towards the other end of the Gryffindor table. "Don't pretend you weren't scouring the scene, too."

Their witty banter continued on, but Sirius paid no mind as he was too focused on the look of guileless curiosity that donned you face as you walked through the decorated Great Hall.

"How were your summer holidays, Evans?" James vocalised as the pair walked by, a shiny new prefect badge pinned to Lily's Gryffindor robes.

"They were good, Potter," Addressed Lily, sparing James a brief glance before she looked around for an empty seat. "And yours?"
