Sweet Sixteen || Part Three - Padfoot

Again, not much happening except a bunch of thoughts and feelings. But it is important thoughts and feelings and, hopefully, I've given you some proper Sirius feels here.
Warnings: mentions of parental neglect (if this is happening to you or anyone you know, remember you can always speak to someone about it. If not someone you know well, then I'm here if you need to rant to a stranger ;)
Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns all of the characters and places, you own Y/n and I own my OC Sienna.
Enjoy ;)

Y/n's alarm woke her up at eight.

It took the girl a few moments to turn it off and remember why she'd set it. By then she was sitting up in bed and rubbing her eyes, trying to resist the groan of dread that wanted to break free from her throat. Reluctantly, she got up and pulled back the drapes around her bed, silently crying in her head as her feet made contact with the cold floor. Her bare legs instantly pebbled with goosebumps as she pulled covers off of them and stood up.

While she was pulling her thickest, wooliest blue jumper and a pair of leggings on, she noticed how Sienna's drapes were still closed. Her friend was probably still asleep, the lucky basterd. Lacing up her sneakers, she went to the bathroom that branched out from the girl's dorm to brush her teeth and hair and put her usual layer of mascara on her lashes. Her make-up was never more elaborate than mascara and maybe some eyeliner. If she was going on a date, she might put some lip gloss on, but this wasn't a date. It wasn't even something worth the effort she was putting into her appearance. Her fuss over her smudged mascara was merely out of habit rather than actually caring what she looked like.

When she was finally done making herself look presentable for public, the girl trudged back to her bed and slung her bag over her shoulder before making her way down the stairs and out of Ravenclaw Tower.

The Great Hall was almost completely empty save for a few students who were early risers, unlike her. Sullenly, Y/n sat down at a random spot at the Ravenclaw table and dished herself a plate of scrambled eggs and toast. After a moment of hesitation, she also gave herself a huge helping of bacon and cheese along with a steaming cup of coffee. She was going to need it if she was supposed to spend the next three hours alone with Sirius Black.

Half an hour later she had finished off her breakfast and made her way to the Library. There was still thirty minutes until the tutoring session was supposed to start, so she made herself comfortable at one of the desks in a secluded corner and took out her book.

Sirius wasn't sure what to expect when he walked into the Library the following morning. He half hoped she wouldn't be there and he wouldn't have to try to talk to her. However, the other half of him hoped she would be there so he could finally develop some sort of relationship with the girl he had been staring at for six years. He could still remember the day he met her, which, unsurprisingly, was the day he started fancying her.

"Woah! I'm sorry!"

Sirius blinked down at the girl who had just barrelled into him, making him slam into the nearest compartment door and probably bruise his shoulder. He opened his mouth to tell her to 'watch where you're going' but cut himself off when she finally looked up at him.

She was very pretty. Sirius's heart did a little leap and he quickly tried to think of something to say that wouldn't make her hate him.

"Uh, that's okay. You can bump into me any day," he ended up saying, giving her a mischievous smirk.

She frowned slightly and backed up a few steps so that she wasn't right against him, "Um, thanks? I think..."

Sirius knew right then that what he'd said hadn't been much better than 'watch where your going', and he immediately wished he could take it back. Unfortunately, she was already walking away.
