Under a shady tree (Sirius)

[Serena Carter]

Serena was sitting under a tree reading a book. It was a breezy day.
She then put her book down after marking her place and picked up a drawing pad and began to draw.
She was quite bored and needed a guy to go to the ball with her.
She always had eyes on Sirius. Even though she hardly knew him.

[Sirius Black]

Sirius had been drawn outside for one reason today and one reason only - to kick that stupid nicotine craving that had been growing in the back of his mind for a few days now. Cigarette in hand he trampled over the fresh dewy grass his grey eyes following the skirt of a well known blonde girl that had been in a few of his classes. His actions were rather overplayed, but he was used to that because that was how he always ended up getting the girl. As he forlicked across the lawns looking rather distant and seemingly very shallow as he turned his grey eyes towards anything that appeared to be walking upright with more than half a brain and long hair - he seemed to stick out like a sore thumb.

Tossing a hand through his black hair, Sirius took another drag on the cigarette dangling from between his fingers. The smoke gathered in a thick cloud as he slowly exhaled it into the open air. The scene was lovely to say the least, the flowers were in bloom and all that lovely nuts, but he seemed more predisposed than anything focusing on the girls walking around in a hurried sort of manner around him. Everyone was always in such a hurry and it really did make him think about it sometimes. His grey eyes remained watchful as he looked around momentarily for a place to perch, and perhaps watch from the cover of the shade undenreath the trees or some other place equivalent to that. It had seemed like a good idea at the time, but than there was another thought growing in the back of his mind - he needed a fix for a much bigger problem rather than his current nicotine addiction, and that was...well, he couldn't exactly shout it outloud, but it wouldn't be to hard to get from really anyone. That was only because a million girls would have been pleading at his feet the sooner he mentioned it to someone, even if they didn't really know him that well.

Well such was life, Sirius realized as he tapped some ash lazily off the tip of his cigarette settling nearby underneath the shade of a tree that seemed to have beckoned to him from across the lawns. A few girls caught his eye as he settled in the shade beneath the tree, he merely passed them a subtle wink before resuming his smoking - or rather killing of fresh lung tissue. Yes, that was always fun.

Serena continued drawing and noticed from the corner of her eye a guy sit down not far from her.
As she continued drawing she looked up slightly and noticed it was Sirius Black.
She then looked back down and hoped he didn't realized she looked up at him.
She did hope though he would ask her to the ball being she needed a date and he was the only one she wanted.
As she continued drawing the drawing took the shape of a Dragon. She usually drew something that represented her mood or a something she saw but today she was drawung a picture from her mind.
As a cool breeze started blowing she stopped drawing for the wind was blowing the papers in her sketchpad.
