The Great Hall was abuzz with chatter on a breezy autumn morning, like any other day. Words and laughs were exchanged amongst friends, a certain group of sixth year boys always being the talk of the school. At the Gryffindor table sat an unique quartet of friends.

A boy with slightly askew round glasses and untidy hair, sat glancing lovingly at a redhead who could never stand in the presence of James Potter. Beside him sat the Gryffindor Prefect, Remus Lupin, who had sandy brown hair and an unhealthy obsession with chocolate, who now had his forest green eyes trailing across the words written on the page of his current book. Across from the two, sat another pair.

Peter Pettigrew, who held most of his baby fat, had his watery eyes solely glued upon his breakfast plate. The other was Hogwarts' heartthrob, who had almost all the girls head over heels for him. Sirius Black wore his outfit of black jeans, a white t-shirt and his signature leather jacket. His black hair slightly fell into his grey eyes, and he held a cocky grin on his face, winking at anyone he found goggling at him.

A sudden rustling sound had indicated the arrival of the post. A wave of owls flew into the Great Hall overhead the herd of students, each dropping their delivery for their person before taking off. One small, brownish-beige owl with black spots littered upon its wings caught the eyes of the infamous Marauders, as the bird slowly came to a halt in front of the Black heir.

The Marauders froze what they were doing, their attention focused upon the tiny creature, in its beak a letter. Curiosity piqued Sirius reached out for the letter, and fed the owl a piece of toast before the small animal took flight once again. Holding the letter in his right hand, he read the front which was addressed to him in unfamiliar curvy writing.

Intrigued, Sirius ripped open the envelope and extracted a piece of parchment.

Dear Sirius,

Your charming smile mesmerizes me. The way your eyes light up with joy, it makes me happy. Please use that real smile, because I know something's bothering you.

And your laugh, it's like music to my ears. Once your angelic voice reaches my ears, it enchants me, leaving me in a trance.

Keep shining Sirius.

Love,

Your secret admirer

Sirius blinked, a whirlwind of emotions evident on his face. He'd been feeling a bit guilty about being a burden on the Potters during the summer, since he'd run away from home. The thought of his younger brother being all alone in that horrible house with his wretched parents scared him, he'd wanted Regulus to come along but his brother didn't have the courage to commit an act as such. Sirius could still hear the cries of his younger sibling ringing in his ears, begging him not to go. He was surprised that someone else had seen through his mask, but how? And why was this particular person keeping their identity a secret, when people threw themselves at Sirius for a chance to have him?

"Padfoot, what is it?"

Removing his gaze from the parchment, he found his three best friends watching him intently.

"It's just another love letter." He answered their question in a bored tone. Remus shook his head before returning to his book, while James rolled his eyes. Peter merely watched the scene, whilst nibbling on a piece of toast, his eyes darting between his friends.

"Another one? Well, it's not like you care about it, you receive them all the time." James commented before returning to watch Lily Evans. Sirius awkwardly laughed and discreetly pocketed the letter, his slight interest already snatched by this mysterious admirer.

If only he'd known that not too far away sat the writer of the letter, anxiously watching the dark haired boy.
