𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗦𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗦 Toula had decided to herself that she would take Ambrosia's clever advice to try and befriend Sirius more seriously. Which surprisingly, Ambrosia's advice worked out quite well. It seemed like rather than being polar opposites, Toula and Sirius had one large thing in common with eachother.

Loneliness.

As much as Sirius was the most popular boy at school, he surely was not at home. Sirius had explained to Toula that Sirius did not agree with his family's strict Pureblood ways, and Wallburga hated it. So she had decided to make Sirius life a complete hell.

Like Sirius, Toula was constantly neglected by her grandmother. And once she had explained that to him, Sirius and Toula were now each other's comfort rather than nemsises.

And as much as Toula didn't like to admit it...

She didn't hate Sirius Orion Black as much as she did three weeks ago.

And Toula definitely wasn't as clumsy as she was before. But the girl still tripped over the hill and made a fool of herself daily in front of Sirius.

But Sirius didn't mind Toula's clumsiness, he thought it was just adorable.

"My friend Moo — Remus would bloody love you. You two would get on." Sirius noted on one warm summer afternoon as they were sipping on lemonade.

Toula knew of Remus Lupin, he was a prefect and quite a good student. He and Toula had spoken once last term when he was asking her if he could borrow a copy of her Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

"Have you had your first kiss yet Tooley?" Sirius asked randomly.

"That's none of your business Black."

Sirius smiled. "Oh it is my business my dear friend Toula. Come on, answer the question love."

Toula felt her stomach become queasy hearing the word love in the same sentence as the word Toula.

"No one would kiss an ugly brute girl like me. Haven't you figured that out already?" Toula sighed, tearing up slightly.

Sirius looked at her.

"Tell me Toula. What's those million women have that you don't?"

"Well firstly they're gorgeous in and out. Perfect. Not a giant like me. Not a stupid girl who had the body of a fourteen year old when she was eleven."

Sirius turned Toula's face to his.

"What are you —"

"Toula Labropoulos, I do not even have to look at you to know that your beautiful in and out. And not to mention...I've always had bit of a thing for tall girls."
