Hi guys, I am new to the HP forum. I love HP though and decided to write a FF which is a love story between Sirius and another new character called Ganga. I chose Sirius because I thought he was the most unsuitable guy for an Indian girl to fall in love with. This is a very Indianized fic and the first time I have tried something like this so please leave your comments. I really appreciate them.
The tinkling of bangles could be heard in the foggy London air. It was a cold, wet day in the beginningof September and most of the frowning people in King's Cross Station that morning hurried along, doing their business, not even glancing at anything unrelated to their destination. Most was the key word. Because one girl in the said bangles pushed her trolley determinedly towards platform 9 . She seemed to be muttering Sanskrit prayers and Bollywood songs, alternating between the two nervously.
"Arre bapre! I am SO late." She exclaimed in her slightly accented in English. The clock above her showed 10 to 11, barely enough time to get on the train and settled before it departed. To where? To Hogwarts, independence, exposure and to a new life. Ok, that sounded good. But what about the things it would take her away from? Once she stepped on the steaming Hogwarts Express it would take her away from everything she had ever known: family, friends, India, its culture and food, Bollywood and her old life. Blinking back her tears, she walked along the length of the train, dodging fat mothers waving goodbye to their children.
Remus Lupin held back a gasp for two reasons: one, he did not want to alert his friend of her presence and two, he did not want to be killed when his friend did notice. It would bet T – 3 seconds, he thought with a grin, before his friend. Sirius Black would fall totally, completely and hopelessly in love with the girl currently walking down the platform.
Sirius Black meanwhile, was completely oblivious to her but when he did notice, his appearance resembled the dog he turned into – drool and all. She was gorgeous. Period. She had long, shiny brown-black hair that reached down to the small of her back. He wanted to stroke it with his fingers to test the smoothness. It fell gracefully and framed her roundish, dark face. Her colour was an almond brown that shone in the late morning sun.
He then proceeded to look towards her deep chocolaty brown eyes and for a moment, just a moment, her gaze caught his. And time stopped. Sirius could barely breathe. She seemed to have looked beyond his handsome face to his soul, the first time a girl had done so. He felt a connection with her. Then bashfully, she looked down again and he noticed just a hint of a blush on her cheeks. He smiled and she smiled back at him sweetly. Her lips were unstained with lipstick and his eyes traveled down her face, noticing her gold earrings studded with emeralds and rubies. A formal gold chain rested on her neck with a locket that just disappeared into her white summer dress, tempting him. But he shook those thoughts away. She was so pure, too pure in fact and probably nave and innocent too.
He silently observed her as she politely greeted the old station guard and laughed with him.
Her dress was pretty to a normal observer, odd to the more fashion conscious one and an open book to him. He knew exactly why she had chosen it. It was a pretty white summer dress with barely noticeable silver and orange embroidery on the tropical flowers. It matched her bangles perfectly. Underneath her short dress, she wore white tights decorated with orange beads. It reminded him of something which he was only able to pinpoint when he noticed the matching scarf carelessly thrown on her trolley. It was a westernized Indian dress whose name he did not know.
He understood at once that she was desperately holding on o her Indian roots before hading off into a completely foreign world altogether. But she wanted to fit in, that was why she had carefully westernized it.
Smiling to himself, he boarded the train after realizing that the Marauders had already left him gaping on the platform. He boarded it just moments before it rolled into motion. He glanced around the crowded platform for her but she was nowhere to be seen as the Hogwarts Express picked up speed and left the platform behind. The watched the houses speed by, waiting for his friends to emerge. Suddenly, Sirius felt someone gently tap him on the shoulder
