Piper was a pureblood through and through. Her family was one of the oldest around, rivaling even the Blacks and Malfoys. Though Piper was not sorted into Slytherin with the rest and went instead to Gryffindor. Foolishly, Piper thought she would be accepted but when she sat down and Sirius Black purposely spilt pumpkin juice on her these thoughts were dashed. Now in their sixth year at Hogwarts their feud could not be more heated but slowly, slowly they begin to see that they aren't so different at all. Sirius/OC

Piper:1

Sirius:0

“Piper, we found it!” Lily and Caerin stormed into the girl’s dorm. Brandishing a piece of parchment.

“Really, the cure for cancer. Goody!” I said from my bed with mock enthusiasm.

“No, you know that little spell that James and Sirius put on your parchment.” I nodded. “We found it. Time for some revenge.” Oh I have such devoted friends...

One should play the game of luck wisely.

“You’re a mystery to me, Piper Redden.” Sirius whispered. He put his arms on Piper’s shoulders. Piper averted her eyes and allowed her dark lashes to hide them. Sirius grinned. “Look up.” He said. His mouth nearly touched her forehead...

Baths are taken, doors are glued shut, and important things are learned about our 'favorite' characters.

Slightly winded, Sirius tapped his wand on the knob of the last door in the hallway. The corridor was dimly lit. Fear and anticipation rose in his chest. She was behind this door. He would finally set things right.

It was Valentine’s Day, but love was running short in Hogwarts, especially in the Gryffindor House. Sirius had been sleeping in the seventh year’s dorm with Zane, Korey’s boyfriend of two days had already cheated on her and she had sworn of men for good, Remus had taken up hiding in the library, and Piper’s…well, no one had seen Piper outside of lessons for the past two days.

If James had seconds to spare he may have paused and reflected on just how doomed he was. But seconds were a valuable commodity in this particular rescue attempt and the lanky teen did not stop for even a moment to consider the trouble he—not just he, James reminded himself, but he, Peter, Remus, and Sirius—was in.

Piper and Sirius speak, at last.

 The End.
