SUMMARY!
It was as simple as that: a vintage, red leather bound, 695 page, gold embellished edition of 'Poems of Byron, Keats and Shelley' left in the back of the Potions room, waiting to be found. SIRIUS BLACK picked it up, no knowing what it was ( but knowing it definitely wasn't a potions textbook ), but curious. He skimmed it, found most of it to be rubbish, but kept the book anyway.
That book was most definitely not waiting to be found. A frantic IVY GOLDSTEIN was searching everywhere for it ( because it was her father's favorite book and he would be furious if she didn't return it home at the end of the term ). She remembered that she had left it in the potions room and ( thankfully ) Professor Slughorn never really looked in the back of the classroom, so there was a good shot that it was still there. But, upon her ( practically ) sprinting there, she found that it was missing.
After what seemed like years of asking around ( which was really just a couple of weeks ), Ivy gives it a good cry and declares it missing, never to be found. Life carries on without her treasured book of poetry and she dreads going back home to her furious father ( who she still hasn't told, so his wrath will probably be tenfold ).
Sirius, however, is enjoying this book and not for the poetry ( though he does find some of it enjoyable ), but for the writing in the margins. In elegant handwriting are thoughts, both related and unrelated to the poem on the page, little bits of past Hogwarts gossip, criticisms of the text ( mostly calling John Keats 'dramatic' and 'silly' ), and, of course, the little hearts next to the owner's favorite lines. The only problem is, there's no name in the book and for the life of him, Sirius can't recognize the handwriting, but the longer he stares at it, the more he becomes infatuated.
