can you do something about dad!james? (sorry the bad english) <3
thank u for ur request, and there's no need for an apology. your English is great and if it weren't it wouldn't matter! also this is kind of long ♡ mom!reader
"Daddy," your daughter says seriously.
James swallows his mouthful of scorching coffee very quickly and winces as he asks, "What, shortcake?"
She stirs her cereal shyly. It's an adorable display but certainly not one that spells good tidings.
"Is everything okay?" he asks.
She looks at him for a moment. Tall enough to do it by herself but small enough to make it look like hard work, she climbs off of her chair, little feet sliding over the laminate kitchen floor because of her school tights.
She rounds the table and holds up her arms.
James spreads his legs and pulls her up onto one of his thighs, her body so light it makes him side eye her breakfast. He holds her waist tight and leans over retrieve her cereal.
"Gotta eat, baby," he says. "You can sit in my lap but you have to eat your food."
She shakes her head. "I need to ask something."
"Ask away."
She looks more like him than you, but you're there. Maybe in the ways that she talks, her endearingness, her precious smile. "How did you meet mammy?"
He grins. He hadn't realised he'd get to tell this story so soon. "It's a long one. Why do you wanna know?"
"Did you meet her in school?"
His grin slips. "Have you met someone?"
She plays with his button down and doesn't say anything until suddenly she's sniffling. James frowns, brow lowered in concern. He can't stand it when his girls cry.
"It's okay," he says gently. "Has someone hurt your feelings?"
She shakes her head and buries it in his chest. James feels his eyes widen of their own accord as he cuddles her close. He's still looking stricken when you emerge, her lost school bag in hand.
"It was under our bed, Jamie, if you can believe it- Oh. What's wrong?" you ask worriedly.
He pats your daughters trembling shoulders. "I'm not sure," he admits.
You come to stand by him, resting your weight with an arm over his shoulder and dropping a hand onto her head. "Baby," you croon, "what's the matter?"
It takes a lot of petting and coaxing. James knows she's going to be late for school but he can't find it in himself to care – her crying seems so different to a tantrum or funny five minutes. It feels real, and embarrassed.
"Tell daddy what's wrong," he says unhappily, kissing her small forehead.
She finally spills. "What if I don't find a dad?" she asks.
You laugh and then clap a hand over your mouth. He glares at you urgently, though he's confused himself.
"Sweetheart, you already have a dad. I'm your dad."
"But your mam's."
He feels the cogs turn slow. You understand much more quickly.
"You mean, a boyfriend?" you ask softly.
She splits like an egg. "I asked Jakey K to be my boyfriend and he said- he said no." Her voice cracks awfully between words, a terrible desperation as kids tend to embody.
James didn't realise that his daughter had already experienced her first heart break. His heart breaks for her in turn, unsure of what to say as she keens into his chest. He pats her back in a nervous staccato and turns to you for help.
"It's okay. It's okay. Will you tell us more about it?" you ask, similarly nonplussed.
She sniffs and slowly manages a nod. When she talks, it's with the suffering of a full blown adult.
"I liked Jakey K to be my boyfriend because I- I- I liked his spiderman 'brella and he let me use it when it was raining and I thought he loved me because that's what daddy does for you," she explains morosely.
"I'll buy you an umbrella," James says, blinded by her tiny heart having been stolen from right under his nose.
You twist one of his curls in a way that can't be called nice and nod seriously at your daughter where she's hiding her teartstained face in James' ruined shirt.
"It's not very nice, when people don't love us back. It really feels like it hurts your tummy."
She turns her face to you.
"But sometimes people want different things, baby. It doesn't mean you aren't smart, or pretty, or funny. Because you're all of those things, and you always will be. Maybe Jakey K just doesn't want to share his umbrella."
She falls into despair again. "But I want to."
"I know. I know." You thumb away her tears and smile as wide as you can. "You want to know a secret?"
"Okay," she says, wobbly.
"Before I met daddy, I shared an umbrella with someone else, and he didn't like me like I liked him. So being under the umbrella didn't work. We couldn't share, we couldn't pick what umbrella we liked. But now I have daddy and it's easy."
She looks confused. James is a smidge confused too — you don't share the umbrella. He holds it over your head and always gets his left shoulder wet.
You nibble you lip. "I met your dad and it's like, our umbrella has spiderman and princess polly on it."
Again, it flies over James' head. She seems to understand what you meant this time, as her expression clears and her frown slowly slackens.
"Okay," she says.
It's so sad it makes James want to cry.
"Okay," you say, and kiss both of her damp cheeks. "How about we stay home today? Just until we feel better?"
"Yeah," James says quickly, involving himself before you can send him off to work and have the day all to yourself.
You don't roll your eyes as you thought he would. You stroke his cheek with the back of your hand and grin.
"Perfect," you say.
You leave to go ring her school and James jogs his leg, wiping what's left of her tears off her small cheeks.
"You know, me and your mam are here forever, and we love you," he says seriously.
Her hand lands on his bicep and her chin tilts up. The puppy dog eyes are impossible to ignore. "Can I have a spiderman 'brella?"
"Absolutely you can." Who needs a boyfriend?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 — 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫
summary — james, as nervous as he is, kisses you at midnight on new years eve.
warnings/tags — fem!reader, alcohol consumption
Tonight is the night. James swears of it.
He's not sure how he'll make it work, but he usually does, so he will. Granted, he's had plenty of turndowns in his life, and not enough fingers to count them on. But, he's almost certain you like him. The feeling he gets when he's around you is enough clarity to put him at ease, though sometimes it morphs into a number of nerves that he thinks it's all in his head.
But he really thinks he might kiss you tonight.
You cling to him the entire night. Half of him doesn't know why because all your friends are here, though you're not rude because you still stay close even when you're rambling about everything with Lily. The other half of him, at the idea of you wanting to be by his side, has him swelling with adoration and his ego grows tenfold.
23:49. He's still sober enough to read the clock on the wall. He's spent the entire day on squash and enough pints to drop a toddler. If he stays sober just so he can't stuff up the night, he keeps it to himself. Though, Sirius notices because, of course, he does.
"I've never seen you this sober at a new year's party, mate."
On the other hand, Sirius is just as drunk as expected - fortunately for James. If everything goes to shit tonight (which James half expects because you make him more nervous than anyone has ever) the only people who will remember are him and, unfortunately, you.
"Lovely," he murmurs, only because you're so close, into your ear. He's selfishly loving it. More when he watches you shiver.
Your conversation with Alice fades off slowly and you turn to him with a little hum. He traces the edge of your lips and takes in the colour of your lipgloss. He expects a matching mark to be swatched around your glass. Then, like he has been most of the night, traces the silver glitter over your sticky eyelids, the extra length of your soft eyelashes. If he's been obvious about it this whole time, he doesn't care.
"Do you want a drink?" he asks, pressing his knuckles into the skin above your tights. He's pushing his luck, he knows it, and if he thought you'd want him to stop, he would. But then you're wrapping your hand over his where it's at your thigh and you smile. It's shy, barely there, James loves it all the same.
"Yeah, c'mon." You eagerly stand from the booth and tug James up with you.
He has no problems when you lead him through the crowd. Still, he keeps a hand up your arm to shield you from rowdy patrons.
You get to the bar and James says, "I was offering to go get you a drink."
"And leave me in the booth?"
James has half the mind in him to not mention that there are eight other people at your table. You giggle knowingly.
"Right." He nods like it makes any sense.
"What are you having?"
"Whatever you choose." He says because he can.
You order two of the same drinks. Two cosmopolitans with extra lime. The glass is wet and awkward to hold, thin and its stem way too small to hold in his big hands. Still, he sips at it with no qualms because he won't act like he's above a cocktail. In fact, he loves them. Especially when you reach your hand across to wipe the line of pink from his top lip.
When you reach back to your table, everyone's shuffled down. The spot you and James had been cramped into only big enough for one.
With your mouth around the rim of your glass, you offer James the seat with a smile.
"You take it."
"It's okay," you say now, licking stickiness from your thumb.
"Y/N," he frowns.
You frown back. It's more adorable than his. "Sit."
James thinks it might be easier not to argue with you. He sits, unwillingly he wants to add, but it's worth it when you move to his side and place a hand in his hair.
You twist soft locks around your fingers, your hand a warmth he loves more than he would ever admit to anyone. He's glad Sirius and Remus are too busy loving each other in the other corner of the booth. He loves it so much he has to hide his giddy smile in his drink.
The new year is quickly approaching and the pub starts to fill. Most people have their arms linked through someone else's, their lips excitedly pressed to others' cheeks. James grows nervous suddenly. More than he has been since he got here.
He second-guesses every choice he's made tonight up until this moment. He's not entirely sure if you'd want to kiss him (like your lovesick giggles and your hand in his hair isn't enough to prove anything to him). He distracts himself with his sweet drink and thinks, stupidly, he'll see how the next five minutes play out.
Everyone in the pub circle around the TV above the bar, like sardines, pushed snugly up against each other. You press really close into his shoulder until he can feel the bump of your stomach. He worries for you for a moment and looks up over your arm. You smile until someone knocks you into his lap.
You startle and James wraps his arms around your back to stop you from toppling off of him. He's gentle with his touch, barely grazing you. Still, it burns.
"Sorry," you say loudly. Everyone shifts to excited yelling. Standing from their seats, drinks in hand.
You don't show that you want to get up. James isn't sure if this makes him feel better or worse.
The cheering gets louder as the clock ticks over to one minute from midnight. James isn't sure you'll be able to hear him. He's not even sure that he has the courage to say anything at all. Until your hands come forward to wrap around the lapels of his jacket to stable yourself. You don't tug him forward but he leans in anyways.
"Do you," he yells, but he still stammers. If it was bright enough inside he's sure you'd be able to see the blush creeping up his cheeks. "Are you kissing anyone at midnight?"
You smile. So wide that he can hear the thump of his heart over the rowdy atmosphere. "I'm not sure yet. Are you?"
James straightens his back out and you shuffle in his lap. He's feeling pretty lucky. "Maybe!"
The crowd begins the countdown. He leans in and waits for any sign that you want to back out. Like you aren't in his lap. Like this isn't the first time any of this has happened. Granted, this time he thinks he's actually going to kiss you.
James is in his head and he'd be stupid to think you'd not notice. "James!" 7! 6! 5! "Are you gonna kiss me?" It's louder. He still knows you're giggling.
"Fuck," he murmurs to himself, leaning forwards. "Can I?"
You kiss him. You actually kiss him. Right on midnight. Everyone who isn't eating someone else's face cheers. It sets him on fire. Your lips up against his. Soft and tender just like he expected. James squeezes his eyes so hard he sees stars. Brighter than the fireworks he'd expect to see if he wasn't having the best time of his life right now.
He's still buzzing when you pull away. Smiling because he can't help it.
"Happy," James blushes, smiling into the side of his hand when he turns his face away, "happy new year, Y/N."
You're so close James can still feel your breath. It fans over his lips and makes the heat he feels worse. In the best way possible. "Happy new year, James."
James thinks it's the happiest new year he's ever had. In a total adoring and cheesy way. It's even better when you lean in to kiss him again.

Bring Your Kid to Work Day(s never end when your godfather is Sirius Black)
@goodgodfathersiriusblack fest day 11: bring your kid to work day - 2,007 words - shout out to @annabtg for beta reading <3 Dedicated to my own godfather, Steve, who actually would have killed someone for me, and always made me believe I was the best mechanic at the shop.
Harry loves the smell of gasoline, of engine fuel, of greasy metal scattered on dirty cement floors. His muscles relax when he thinks of them, an unconscious deep breath entering and exiting his lungs. With them come the sounds of tools clanking and voices echoing off tin walls, a radio in the corner crackling with rock music, muffled by the bins and boxes and other random objects hiding it from view. What should feel like chaos is a memory that brings him only peace. 
**
At first, the Dursleys refused to let him go. They always started off that way, with a firm no, as if naively hoping this might be the time they actually won a standoff with Sirius Black. When he wanted to take Harry to the coast for his seventh birthday, Uncle Vernon’s jowls shook with determined strength as he told the boy’s godfather he would be doing no such thing! “You think I’m letting you run off with him for days, so you can fill his head with more devilry to unleash on my family? I won’t have it!” 
Sirius always responded to Uncle Vernon in one of two ways: with terrifying malice, or unbothered amusement. Harry watched his godfather’s eyes twinkle from his view against the wall out of his uncle’s line of sight. “Oh, Dursley, Dursley, my good man, I have already given Harry all the knowledge I have on how to call down endless doom upon this dreadful home.” Sirius’s hands moved dramatically as he spoke, as if he might be casting a spell in that very moment. “A few days of playing in the water might actually put him – and myself – in such a good mood that we hold off on the doom a little longer.” Even though there was still a grin on Sirius’s face, Harry heard a hint of his ‘terrifying malice’ voice when he said, and myself. He glanced at his uncle to find the man’s face turning pink, his chin quivering in fearful frustration, the way it did by the end of all his conversations with Sirius. 
“Fine,” was all Uncle Vernon said. “I expect him back by the 3rd.”
**
Harry doesn’t actually remember their original conversation about Sirius taking him to the shop for Bring Your Kid to Work Day, only that Sirius always references it when Uncle Vernon tries to argue that Harry can’t go. He was only five then, so the only important memory from that day was the one of him entering Sirius’s autobody shop for the first time. 
Read the rest on AO3!

I’ve definitely made this my own and i’m pretty proud of it, theres also self indugent fluff sprinkled in there but who doesn’t love fluff and angst mixed together 💛
Tumblr media
Navigation | Sirius Black Masterlist
Tumblr media
Sirius Black could get anyone he wanted, it was like a game to the boy, pick some random unfortunate soul and pursuit them. Each one was different but it always ended the same, sometimes there was a chase, other times all he’s have to do is flirt and he had them in the nearest broom closet. His favourite was those that played hard to get, yet they knew and he knew that it was all just an act, an act used to prolong the inevitable.
You on the other hand had stayed off of his radar despite being a fellow Gryffindor. Many assumed you were shy but that’s what you wanted them to think, in truth you were just the quietly confident type and kept your business, just that, yours, holding your own. You had managed to go 6 full years without ever having a conversation with the boy, you had worked with Remus a couple of times and sat with him along your dorm mates, Lily, Marlene and Dorca many a time in the library, hell even James knew of you due to your friendship with Lily. Unfortunately, you didn’t stay hidden from his eye forever and so began a very dangerous game
“Pads you think you could put a sock on the door or something next time…how am I supposed to look the Ravenclaw captain in the eye again after seeing them strapped to your bedframe” James shakes his head with a repulsed expression trying to get rid of the image
Peter and Remus make similar expressions “You know you could actually take someone on a date first or at least one which doesn’t end with you shagging them in the bathroom of the three broomsticks” the latter remarks taking a bite of his breakfast while his eyes stay fixed on his book
“Prongs sometimes there isn’t time to put a sock on the door if you ever got laid you’d know that and Remus why the hell would I ever do that?” he laughs at them like the suggest was absurd
Sirius had never been one to grow attached, sure he had flings he cycled back to when he was busy or his current conquest was taking their sweet time but a real relationship there was no way
“Hey” James whines “It’s true but don’t rub it in mate, some of us actually want more than sex” he notes as his eyes drift down the table to the redhead who was currently sitting next to Dorca with you and Marlene across from her
Sirius follows his eyes “Ah yes I forgot you don’t want to cheat on the girl who has never shown interest…in you” his words slow down as hears you laugh at something Dorca says, the sound like music to his ears as he admires how pretty your smile is “Who is that beauty?” he asks looking back at the other boys “And why haven’t I seen her before” he remarks
“If you are talking about Marlene or Dorca I’m pretty sure you a) know them and b) know they are very much in love with one another” James answers confused while Remus looks down the table, closing his eyes a second as he realises he talking about you
Remus knew it would happen eventually and he knew that out of everyone you were actually a great match for Sirius, but not the Sirius before him, no, the Sirius he would grow to be a couple year down the line, a version that would see you as more than another play thing
“That’s y/n” he says reluctantly, knowing if he didn’t answer he’d find out some other way
“Y/n?” James eyes Remus before his eyes widen as he smiles “Oh y/n, yeah she’s nice” he nods looking down the table, you were nice, even slipped him some info about how to woo your friend
“I’ve heard she’s quiet, doesn’t talk much must be shy” Peter adds joining the conversation
Remus focus’ on his book trying not to smile “Perfect, haven’t had a shy one in a while” Sirius notes eyes trailing back to you again as he licks his lips
“Nah” James shakes his head
“Nah” Sirius mock him “Why nah?” he does it again looking at him baffled
James shrugs “I just don’t think you could get her” he says plainly, not that he knew much about you but from the conversations he’d had with you and others with Marlene he found you weren’t the dating type, you’d never even had a boyfriend
“I get everyone” he insists “No one can resist me” he says cockily to which Remus rolls his eyes, he loved Sirius but boy could he be a prized wanker when it came to things like this
“Wanna bet?” James says half-jokingly
“Alright you’re on, what are the stakes?” Sirius agrees making James look at him surprised
“Sirius” Remus warns before turning to James “Don’t” giving him a look that screams ‘please don’t agree to this’
“Moony it’s fine, not like he’s going to win…” James shrugs before turning to Sirius “If I win, which I will, you need to…buy whatever the rest of us want from Hogsmeade, I’m talking everything and anything we want” he says confidently, he did feel a little twinge of regret but he was sure if anyone was going to resist his charms it was you besides it was just a harmless bet
“Deal” Sirius says right way “And if I win you have to do the same” he points at his friend who nods in agreement
“I like this…works out well for us either way” Peter muses nudging a little Remus who smiles at his friend briefly but wears a generally disappointed look
As the boys return to their meal and Sirius eyes you from afar, their conversation echoed around the hall in such a way it was overheard by one of Sirius’ recurring flings. She sat a little jealous but she knew that as soon as he was done with you he’d go back to her, right?
Tumblr media
You were currently wandering around the hallways aimlessly with Marlene, both of you opting to skip Magical history as there was only so many times you could hear that man drone on before you died of boredom
Marlene stepped a bit in front proceeding to walk backwards as she pondered “You think the founders were fit? I know there are paintings of them but you think they were fuckable?” she notes to which a painting nearby huffs and she flips it off “Didn’t ask you mate”
You giggle at the paintings shock before replying “Maybe, but the real question is did any of them do each other, like can’t you just imagine Salazar and Godric having a scandalous love affair” you wonder
“Ooo” Marlene smirks adoring that narrative “Fine line between love and hate, everyone loves a tragic love story” you walk a few more paces before she speaks again “You know you’re a pretty good writer and with Dorcas drawing skills and my raw charisma we could make a book about it…muggles and wizards alike would love it” she waves her hands in the air
“Love what?” you both stop in your tracks to see Sirius leaning on the wall of the adjoining corridor
“Salazar and Godric’s secret affair” Marlene answers for you both giving the boy a smile
Sirius looks shocked but smirks “Well if you ask me…” he starts but is cut off by you
“But we didn’t ask you pretty boy” you say in a playful tone “Now…” you walk up to Marlene and loop your arm with hers “…if you’ll excuse us we were busy”
As you and Marlene walk off, Sirius is left in a pleased shock “Pretty boy?” he says to himself smirking “Oh this is going to be fun”
Tumblr media
When you got back to your dorm after the interaction, Marlene gushed to Lily and Dorca, telling them that they should have seen the look his face when you called him that, while you felt uneasy. Six years you had avoided talking to him and you just had to say something didn’t you. The whole thing made you nervous he was finally going to notice you, you weren’t self-centred enough to think you would enamour him upon first sight but you knew he enjoyed your, now you thought of it, rather flirty remark.
Your fear came to pass as the next day when you were sat alone in the library and he approached you. Looking up you saw him wearing a smirk that you would just love to wipe off his pretty boy face but you said nothing, just returned to the book you were reading and ignored his presence
“Cat got your tongue today?” he quips plopping himself in the chair beside you, his comment made you roll your eyes but you kept your head fixed on your book “Come on don’t leave your pretty boy hanging”
You can practically feel his grin and when you glance over it was clear he was enjoying this a little too much “What do you want?” you ask in a kinder tone than he deserved, you were annoyed sure but you weren’t going to add any fuel to this chase he was trying to brew
His head tilts, surprised but that only furthers his intrigue, you were so unpredictable and it was quickly becoming addictive “I just want to spend time with a cute girl” he winks at you, you may be unpredictable but he could make everyone flustered “and get to know what’s going on in that pretty little brain of yours” he leans in a little, arm flexing as he leans on the table
What a line, you think before you think of something a little risky but in that moment you couldn’t resist “Well pretty boy…” you lean forward as well, placing your hand on his arm, fingers running up and down it
“Mhm” he hums smiling away, this was easier than I thought, he thinks
“…I thinking that you…” your other hand makes its way to his thigh as you lean in closer, noses so close to touching “…don’t have a chance” you kiss his cheek before you grab your book and walk away leaving him staring at the place you once were jaw dropped
Sirius sat there for a good few minutes, not only was he shocked but you left him quite flustered. As he snapped out of his daze he looked around checking no one saw, before he leaned back and slid down on the chair letting out a small laugh. If he wasn’t hooked before he sure as hell was now, you managed to combine two of the things he loved most. First, he loved those that played hard to get and second, he loved when they flirted back, but never had he met someone that did both to him and so smoothly.
Meanwhile you were walking quickly back to your dorm, once you got there you sighed in relief when you saw no one was in. Sliding down the door as you closed it, head leaning on it as you debated what you had just done. So much for under the radar, you just fucked the radar out the window and set fire to it. There was a part of you that liked it though, the feeling of pride that surged through you when his mouth dropped open and yet then there was another part that was terrified because you were sure he was never going to stop now. The question was, did you want him to?
Tumblr media
Over the next weeks Sirius never let up and neither did you, every time he approached you, he would flirt then you’d say some witty comment back and or combine that with your own flirting before making your exit. You enjoyed it, you didn’t think you were one to like flirting since every time someone had tried before you shut it down, you��d never even kissed anyone. Surprisingly flirting was very similar to your usual sarcasm, just throw in some body language, the odd compliment and you were a natural.
You huffed as you racked through your bag, trying to find your quill, sure there was a side pocket in there you could use but no, that would be too easy. As you looked you felt a body side next to you, you didn’t look up as you assumed it was Marlene so you gently nudged them to say hi but as you did, you caught their scent
Looking up you saw Sirius smiling “Hey pretty girl” he greets
“Pretty boy” you acknowledge with an annoyed smile back “You forget where your seat was or something?” you ask wondering if this was his latest tactic
“Nope, this is my new seat” he states which makes you tilt your head “Well I may have suggested that me sitting with you would cause less trouble than be sitting with Prongs…James” he says, correcting the nickname
“You trouble? Never” you say in a tone laced with sarcasm which makes him chuckle “Why did you really switch?” you ask genuinely
“Isn’t it obvious?” he shakes his head smiling “I want to spend more time with you” his tone is different than before; your mind could even trick you into believing it’s sincere
“Well I’d spend time with me I’m very interesting” you smirk before turning back to your bag “Yes!” you quietly cheer as you find the quill to which you look over at him noting he looks a little surprised “I found my quill” you elaborate as you pull it out of the bag
He nods letting out an ‘ah’ as he begins to get his own stuff out “You are very intriguing” he says glancing at you briefly
“And you are very persistent” you note yet there is a playfulness in your voice, a playfulness that gave Sirius hope you enjoyed these little interactions as much as he did
As the teacher spoke there was a tension between the two of you, but it was strangely comforting having him close. Usually you left right away, never staying too long but the prolonged contact was distracting. They way your shoulders were so close to brushing, or how your hand was mere centimetres from his, it was safe to say you weren’t learning anything this lesson so you began to doodle instead of writing notes, you were sure Lily wouldn’t mind letting you copy them later.
As you started scribbling a series of drawings along the side of your parchment Sirius’ eyes were glued on your free hand, he wondered what it would feel like to hold it, to hold you in his arms…what was happening to him? His eyes snapped back to his blank parchment trying to rack his brain to figure out what this feeling was even if he knew deep down. His eyes couldn’t stay away from you for long, lifting his head as he pretended to listen and read the blackboard behind the professor while his eyes flicked to the side, admiring your features. Tracing over your lightly parted lips, lips he wanted to kiss more than any other, the way your nose wiggled ever so slightly as you concentrated, then his eyes fell to your hand delicately sketching on the paper.
His throat felt a little tight as he turned back to his own, so he picked up his quill just to have something to hold and channel his emotions. As he was fiddling with the quill you’re eyes drifted towards it, you felt uneasy thinking that he was nervous about something especially since he was too busy with whatever it was to notice the professor had stopped talking and called from everyone to discuss the topic in pairs for the next 5 to 10 minutes.
“Sirius?” you gently place your hand over the one on the quill afraid he might snap it if he’s not careful
He looked over at you then down at your hands to which you quickly retract leaving him with an empty feeling, merlin what the hell is she doing to me, he thinks “Yeah?”
“Are you alright?” you ask not bothering to mask the concern, your head tilting as your eyebrows knit together
He seems to shake himself out of it returning to his usual cocky self, leaning forward “Worried about me darling?” he smirks
You let out an empty laugh shaking your head “Never” you say turning back to your doodles annoyed at yourself for caring in the first place and for warm feeling spreading across your chest at the pet name
Your disappointment made Sirius regret his reply immediately quietly sighing as he turned back to his own paper. The rest of the class dragged in, when it ended it was Sirius making the quick escape, ignoring James and heading straight to his dorm. Dropping his stuff and flopped backwards onto the bed, not noticing one of his other friends was sitting on their own bed reading until he spoke
“Class that bad huh?” Remus chuckles closing his book and swivelling around to face him
Sirius huffs “What is it that’s so alluring about her, I just want to grab her face…” he gestures towards the air “…and kiss her, hold her…” he trials off breathing heavy “Why won’t she let me? it’s been almost a month no one resists me for that long…and no I’ve already checked with Marlene she does like guys” he answers as if that was the question Remus was readying himself to ask
“You know Pads maybe you should just forget the bet, it’s clearly messing with you” Remus suggests hoping he listens
“No, I am not a quitter, I won’t let prongs win” Sirius insists sitting up and pointing his friend “Sirius black always gets the girl even if she is the most…infuriately pretty…fascinating girl that ever lived” he sighs “Please help me”
Remus clenches his jaw for a second, thinking about what he should do, he didn’t want you to have your feelings played with but he also knew Sirius would never give up. He was at an impasse, weighting the options before he decided, there was a chance Sirius could fall for you, as small as if could be he had to hope for that outcome
“You ever thought about actually having a conversation with her?” Sirius looks at him confused “Without flirting, like genuinely get to know her and not…” he’s cut off
“Without flirting? Moony how will I get her to fall for me if I don’t flirt?” he says lost
“And how is that going for you?” he asks which makes Sirius think for a second be nodding in defeat
Tumblr media
A few days later Sirius found you by a tree in the courtyard, he didn’t approach you right away, instead leaned against one of the archways and watched you, thinking of what to do. He tried to form a sentence in his head planning what to say, but all his stupid brain could think about was wanting to brush the little strand of hair from your face or maybe letting himself lay his head on your lap as you read…before he could begin to imagine anything else he shook his head and walked up to you
“Hey pretty girl” he greets, smiling at you as you raise your head to look at him “Can I join?”
“If I say no you’ll join anyway right?” you say with a little laugh shifting a little to pull your skirt down
Sirius watches your movements before his eyes flick back up “If you say no I’ll leave you alone” he says honestly
You look up at him “If you’re trying to use reverse psychology me that isn’t going to work” you say curiously
“Reverse?” his eyes flash with confusion before he shakes his head “Can I though?…join you I mean” you nod hesitatingly, this wasn’t the usual routine what was he playing at?
Sirius lowered himself next to you but kept a healthy inch apart even if that was an inch too far for his liking. He doesn’t say anything merely begins playing with the grass between the two of you so you return to your book. Much like before the silence is oddly comfortable and you find yourself resisting the urge to lean your head on his shoulder, merlin did you hate that he was beginning to have an effect on you
“What’s it about?” Sirius asks randomly chuckling as you eye him “The book?” he points to it
“Umm here” you hand it to him “I’m terrible at describing books so you’re best reading the blurb on the back” you confess “It only just came out this year”
As he takes the book his fingers brush over yours, breath hitching as he feels a small spark flow through him, so distracted with the sensation that he misses your own little gasp. He reads the summary carefully before turning back to you, your lip bitten showing the first sign of nerves he’s ever seen from you, it was clear you cared what he thought of the book
“Sounds interesting” he says earnestly “Could you read me some of it?”
You look taken aback by his request but nod taking the book and opening it, beginning to read the first page “The house stood on a slight rise just on the edge of the village. It stood on its own and looked over a broad spread of the West village…” your voice was soft and easy to listen too, leaning his head back on the trunk of the tree as you continued “…The only person for whom the house was in any way special was Arthur Dent, and that was only because it happened to be the one he lived in. He had…” Sirius smiled closing his eyes, he’d never been one for reading but he’d listen to you read a novel if you’d let him
After a while your head slowly fell onto his shoulder as you continued to read aloud, feeling the vibrations as he chuckled while you did the little voices of the characters, in particular when Arthur told the man he could shove his bypass up his ass…okay you paraphrased but that’s what he meant
While you and Sirius bonded, two girls passed by the court yard spotting you through the archways “Looks like she’s finally given it up” one says
“Looks like it, shame the pretty little thing had no idea she’s a bet” she pouts “But once he’s used her up he’ll come crawling back to moi” she says wickedly, sure she was jealous of the intimacy between the two of you but she also knew Sirius never backed out of a bet and she’d have him again in no time
Tumblr media
Over the next week you let Sirius in, you read more of the book to him, let him join you while you studied and sit next to you in the classes you shared. Every now and again you’d let out a quick remark and he would flirt with you but it felt different than before, every time he called you pretty girl your heart fluttered and you began to forget nor care about how many people he may have said this to before. You were falling for him, it terrified you but you couldn’t stop it, nor did you want to.
Eventually one day you were reading to him under the same tree in the courtyard during a free period “Wait hold up a minute!” your head leaves his shoulder at his exclamation “This guy has two heads” he holds up two fingers looking at you bewildered
“Yes” you confirm “He’s an alien” you giggle at him
“This book just keeps getting weirder and while we are on the subject of weird why do we always need a towel?” he shrugs bewildered to which you laugh at him “Stop laughing I want to know why?” he smiles brightly at you
“42” you answer with a mischievous look
“What’s 42?” he asks hesitantly
“The answer to everything” you say ambiguously shifting so one leg is crossed while the other is up to your chest, hands with the book in front of you as you head rests on your knee trying to hide the huge smile on your face
“You’re really cute when you do that” he notes
“Well wouldn’t be your pretty girl if I wasn’t somewhat cute” you say casually
He chuckles before it registers mouth dropping “You’re my pretty girl?” he asks looking at you hopefully
“You think I’d just read to anyone?” you say with a chuckle “But if you want I can go see if Remus or…” you taught him
He cuts you off “No no you’re mine now and if you are my girl now…” he says smirking, leaning forward as he gently manhandles you, moving your legs are out flat and positioning your back against the tree “I can do this” he says happily shifting to lay his head on your lap
You look down at him “Wow and I thought you’d ask for a kiss” you muse “turns out you’re just a big softie” you say teasingly
He lets out a laugh, sitting up for a moment “Well now I know that’s on the cards, can I?” he smirks
“On one condition” you request
“Anything” he says right away
“Make it a memorable one since it’ll be my…my first” you say the last part quietly
His eyes widen in surprise, slight guilt swelling but he pushes it away “Agreed but I have my own condition” he leans in noses brushing
“And what would that be?” you ask as you move in a little closer as well, stomach filled with butterflies as your lips graze when he speaks
“You officially be my pretty girl”
“The only one?”
“Only you”
Tumblr media
About a month had passed since that day in the courtyard and you both were the centre of gossip. Some made bets of how long you’d last, ranging from one day to a month, others felt sympathetic for you being his latest victim while a handful looked at you with eyes full of jealousy. None more than a certain Ravenclaw who once too was the centre gossip, only you had lasted longer than her in resisting his charms as she was once called his biggest chase. Of course, less than a week in he grew bored, yet still came back every now and again for a shag.
You vexed her greatly, not only were you in what she felt was her place but he hadn’t even looked at her since his eyes fell upon you that breakfast. She was sure you hadn’t put out yet, and from her little friend in Gryffindor snooping in on you and Marlene’s conversations she found out why. She should have shivered at how cruel the situation was and a part of her knew that, but the big green monster in her stomach pushed away any sympathy especially after weeks had passed and you and Sirius had only gotten closer.
He hardly left your side, always had to be touching you in some way. He held your hand under the desk in class, your thigh at dinner now you, Marlene, Dorcas and Lily had moved up to sit with his friends much to another marauders delight. You and he were often seen with him laying his head in your lap as you read, or from her friend, cuddling on the couches in the Gryffindor common room. She hated the PDA, the lingering kisses, the way Sirius’ lit up in your presence, the way he’d nuzzle his nose with yours to make you giggle. However, the only silver lining was you and he were headed to the next level and after that he’d leave you high and dry.
She was currently headed back to Ravenclaw tower when she passed by the Marauders chilling out in an empty corridor, well three of them at least. She would have walked on by if she hadn’t overheard what they were speaking about, instead deciding to hide in the shadow of a pillar and eavesdrop
“I’m telling you he made me stay up until 4 this morning preparing and then made Wormtail skip class so he could set it all up” James says chuckling slightly
“What exactly does he have planned?” Remus asks his voice wavering a little
“He’s set up this little picnic in the astronomy tower, she’s been reading this space book to him and he’s going to point out all the stars…oh and there some special astro thing happening tonight as well, meteor shower I think” the boy explains
“You think they’ll finally you know?” Peter implies to which the girl feels her stomach turn
“I mean if he did all that for me you bet I’d drop my pants” James says securely
“Prongs” Remus scolds
“What? It’s romantic” he defends “Like you two wouldn’t either”
“Are you forgetting something” Remus says clearly trying to jog his friend’s memory
“Forgetting what?” James takes a second to recall “Oh shit the bet…I mean I doubt that’s still going, right?” the girl pokes her head out to see James looking a little worried as he looks between his friends
Peter shrugs “I really hope not, y/n so nice and I really do think she makes Pads happy” he says sadly
Remus nods in agreement “I think he loves her” the information makes the girls blood boil “He hasn’t mentioned the bet in ages, he goes on about how amazing she is to us, he’s planning a big event tonight for their one month…he can’t be going through with it still, if he is then he’s not the Sirius I know…there is no way he’d be that cruel” he says honestly, grimacing at the thought his friend would even consider such a thing
“Yeah…” James nods before a slight cheekiness takes over his features “…since he technically not going through with it I don’t have to buy you guys stuff, anymore do I?” he checks
“Well your words were ‘he couldn’t get her’ originally but we will lower it to you buying us anything we want from Honeydukes. Which means the expensive chocolate” he says with a large smirk
“The good stuff” Peter adds
The girl didn’t wait to listen any longer as Remus and Peter seemed to start talking about how this brand was the best. As she made her way through the corridors she felt angry at the idea that Sirius Black, her Sirius, fell in love. There was no way, he didn’t do love he’d said that so many times, he must be playing with you, you weren’t putting out so he had to make you fall in love that’s the only reasonable explanation
As she wandered she walked directly into someone “I’m so sorry” she hears the person say, still dazed from falling on her arse
“It’s…” she starts before her eyes focus and she realises she ran into you of all people “It’s okay…thank you” she says as you help her up
“Again, I’m so sorry” you apologise once more before beginning to walk off in the direction of the astronomy tower
“Y/n?” She calls out making you turn back, letting out a small ‘yeah’ with a confused look at how she knew your name “You’re in advanced Charms right?” you nod “Can I get your notes from last week I missed class since I had bad cramps”
Your face lights up as you nod “Yeah of course us gals got to look out for each other…I’ll come find you some point tomorrow with them, I’ve got plans tonight” you smile giving her a wave before walking off properly this time
Tumblr media
As you climbed the stairs to the astronomy tower your stomach filled with excitement, you had been worried Sirius would get bored of you, or push you to go too fast but he had been perfect in every way. He insisted on you hanging out with his friends, asking about your family, you don’t do that unless you’re all in so as you got to the door you knew you were ready to be all in as well.
Walking in your heart skips seeing the blankets laid out, cushions surrounding one end, little charmed candles floating around and dinner along with extra snacks spread out, even some butterbeers poking out of the little basket.
As your footsteps lightly echo you see Sirius pop his head out from around the corner “Hey pretty girl” he smiles brightly making his way up to you “What you think?” he nods his head towards the romantic display, moving to wrap his arms around your waist from behind placing a gentle kiss to your exposed neck
You lean into him “eh it’s alright” you tease earning a playful squeeze to your sides before moves to blow into your neck making little fart noises, the vibrations tickling you “Siri!” you squeal
He pulls back “It’s Alright? Just alright this is the most romantic thing I could fathom I’m going to need to some more than it’s alright darling” he turns you round to face him, poking her cheek as he supresses his smirk
“Fine” you concede before proceeding to exclaim in fake awe “Oh Godric this is so romantic…it’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever…mhm” he shakes his head at you with the biggest smile before he cuts out off with a kiss, dipping his head down to capture your lips followed by his hands coming up to cup his cheeks
You can’t help but smile as he nuzzles his nose with yours briefly before he pulls back “I love it” you take his hand in yours pulling him over to the assortment of blankets and pillows “What time does the shower start?” you ask letting go of his hand as you sit down next to the blanket and begin taking off your shoes
He settles himself on the blanket, loosening his tie as he speaks “Around 10ish so we’ve got around an hour or so, plenty time” he reassures rolling his tie up and placing it to the side
You shuffle over onto the blanket next to him, beginning to loosen your own tie “So what’s on the menu?” you say leaning over to place your tie next to his before you loop your arms around his hugging it as you lean your head on his shoulder
“Well I got the house elves to make your favourite” he leans forward every so slightly to unveil the meal
You turn your head up to kiss his cheek “Thank you but I think I fancy dessert first” you ask in a tone that seems to go over your boyfriend’s head
“Yeah I got…” he starts but you tug on his shirt “What?” he looks at you confused
You giggle at him “No Siri…” you gently climb over onto his lap “not that kind of dessert pretty boy” your tug your bottom lip as your settle with your legs on either side of his, hands on his chest
His face forms into a smirk, hands running up and down your jumper clad sides “In that case you can give me some sugar” he winks
“You’re lucky I like you because that was an awful line” you ask as you lean in closer
“Still worked though” he nudges his nose with yours, as you whisper a quiet ‘it did’ before your lips meet
The kiss started as your normal make out session, Sirius pulling you in towards him by your jumper before proceeding to kiss from your lips to your jaw then down your neck. Your eyes close as his lips latch you’re your neck hands lacing with his hair, it’s only when you roll your hips does he pull back with a small groan
“We should eat before it gets cold” his voice breathy, chest rising and falling quickly
You pout, thinking for a second “What if we ate after?” you suggest
“After?” he smiles confused before the realisation washes over “Y/n…”
“I’m ready” you say sure but Sirius seems to look conflicted “Siri?” you tilt your head leaning forward a bit
“I don’t want to rush…” he struggles to form words as his throat feels tight, you and he had never gone further than this
“I want to…” you give him a smile but it falters your heart aching as you ask quietly “…do you not want…”
“No…” he cuts you off grips your arms before his eyes widen “Fuck no I mean yes…” he corrects “…yes of course I do” his voice softens as his hand comes up to gently caress your cheek “Merlin I’d be a lair if I hadn’t thought about it on more than one occasion…I know I set up this really romantic situation…” he looks around “…but that doesn’t mean you need to feel obligated…” he’s cut off buy your finger on his lips
“I know” you remove your finger taking his hand from your cheek and kissing his knuckles “I’m ready” you repeat
He gives you a small nod and a smile before moving in to kiss you again, gently manoeuvring the two of you so you are laying down, hair splayed across the pillow. He looks down lovingly as he begins to climb over you, leaning on his forearm as his hand runs from your waist up to your jaw before pushing a little strand of hair back behind your ear
“Tell me if you want to stop at anytime okay?” he looks at you watching as you nod “Words darling” he prompts placing a tender kiss to your forehead
“I’ll let you know”
Tumblr media
Sirius arms were wrapped tightly around you while your head lay on his bare chest, fingers tracing over one of his tattoos “What is this one for?” you ask moving to rest on your chin as you peer up
He smiles “That one is for Remus” his hand moves to play with your hair “You don’t mind them, do you?” he asks with a slight vulnerability in his voice
You give him a little smile and shake your head before placing a delicate kiss on the inked skin “I think they are beautiful” you say softly glancing up at him “Just like you”
He smiles down at you, the kind of smile you’d only read about in books the kind that just screamed all the love in the world “What’s your favourite animal?” he inquires
You lean your head on his chest again as you ponder but as you are about to answer you notice the sky “Siri” you sit up not caring that the blanket that was once covering you had fallen down as you crawl down to the edge of the blanket “It’s starting” you turn back for a second smiling brightly before your eyes return to the streaking sky and your arm motions behind you for him to join
Sirius takes a second to admire your unclothed figure, eyes trailing down your spine and beyond the small of your back before he lifts the blanket and shifts down next to you. You move to sit on your butt, legs to your chest as he drapes the blanket around you both
As you grip on to the blanket he pulls your legs over his, placing a kiss to your temple “Wow” you breath out as you watch the sky, cuddling closer
“Almost as gorgeous as you my pretty girl” he nudges his nose into your hair, breathing in your scent
“Same could be said for you…my pretty boy”
Tumblr media
The warmth of the sun woke you first, as your eyes fluttered open you vaguely saw the tattoos of Sirius’ chest and felt the little shapes he was tracing on your lower back
He must have felt the apples of your cheeks rising as you felt his voice vibrating from his chest “Morning” he pulls you up to plant a kiss to your hair
You look up to see him smiling at you “Morning” you can’t help but copy his expression
“So, I’m going to watch James practice this morning but after that I was thinking you could join us in sneaking to Hogsmeade?” He asks making no effort to move
You think for a second “Sounds good” you nod before remembering “Oh I told this girl I’d let her borrow my charm notes so I’ll go find her and help her with that then I’ll come to your dorm in the afternoon?” you explain
“Great it’s a plan, now before we have to leave…” His hands slide up and down your side’s eyes signalling to you “You wanna?”
After some morning fun you headed back to your dorm while Sirius offered to clear up the tower, walking into your dorm you said hi to Marlene and Lily who both eyed the very obvious bedhead amoung a few other things
“Looks like you had a very good night” Marlene smirks before turning to Lily “She didn’t come back either did she?”
“She did not” Lily nods in agreement “So…” she prods
You just smile excitedly and nod “twice” you hold up two fingers as you let out a happy giggle
Marlene lights up “You have to tell us everything! Are the rumours true is he packi…Lils come on like you’ve never wondered” she rubs her arm where Lily elbowed her
“What was it like?” Lily asks as you sit down across from them on your bed
“He was really sweet, kept asking to make sure I was comfortable” the girls looked pleased at that “and he told me he loved me” you say slowly still in disbelief yourself
“Before or after” Lily asks carefully
“After” you breathe out, heart jumping as Lily and Marlene smile, clearly happy with the answer
After a few more minutes of you explaining what happened Lily gives you a cheeky look “So…is he?”
Tumblr media
“Hi” you call out to a younger girl “I’m looking for a girl in her final year, she has black hair about yay height wearing bright red lipstick?” you describe to the her as you stand awkwardly outside the entrance to Ravenclaw tower
“Oh, I know her…I think…give me a second?” you nod moving to lean on a wall nearby as you wait
Around five minutes later the girl in question comes out “Hi y/n, you got the notes?” she gives you a strange smile but you nod going into your bag and pulling them out
As you do her eyes hone in on your glowing appearance, the smile that doesn’t leave your lips and the small hues of purple that litter your neck where your jumper had slipped down
It was then that green monster took over and she did something horrible “Here” you hand over the notes “Do you want me to go over them?” you offer
“No that’s okay” she says in a worried voice “I do need the notes but that’s not why I wanted to talk to you yesterday…” she confesses making you look at her confused “You see I overheard Sirius’ friends talking yesterday and…” your felt an uneasy feeling in your stomach “they were talking about how tonight was the night he was going to complete the bet” she says looing sorry for you “I’m so sorry I should have said yesterday…I’m so sorry y/n” she apologises
You felt like all the life was drained from your body, the world swept from under you, your throat closing up as your heart sank “Are you sure they were talking about…me?” you confirm hoping the girl just misheard, the boys did make bets on random things
“I didn’t mishear…I wish I did believe me. When you said yesterday us girls got to look out for each other I was up all night worried that I never told you” she looks at you with a sympathetic expression
“It’s okay…thank…” you struggle to speak “thank you for…for telling me” you whisper as tears sting your eyes “Excuse me” you cover mouth with your hand, the tears falling as you quickly walk away
The girl would be a lair if she said she didn’t feel any guilt, she knew that was beyond cruel but in the moment all she saw was red. Meanwhile you couldn’t breathe, quickly ducking in the little crevice behind the nearest tapestry to let the tears flow freely as you slid down the wall, heart breaking. He wouldn’t, would he? You couldn’t have been just bet to him, he told you he loved you, he was gentle with you, he looked at you like you were the only person in the whole world, and yet as you thought back you remembered his hesitation, the wash of guilt you could swear you now saw in his eyes.
You had no idea how long you sat there crying but eventually you ran out of tears, the pain was overwhelming, you felt so used. You couldn’t even be angry you were just destroyed, you felt like your heart had been ripped out, how did you go from being the happiest girl in the world to this. After wiping your tears and spending a couple minutes composing yourself in order to make it back to your dorm, you started to go over everything. You wanted to go up to Sirius and ask him, shout at him, cry to him about how cruel he was but at the same time you needed a clear head, you needed to think.
As you made your way into the common room you spotted James, he looked like he was heading down to practice, you knew he was a bit forgetful and it looked like he forgot his gloves this time so Sirius was probably not around.
As you came closer you called out “James?” your voice a little shaky, even if you were trying to hide it he saw straight through, a worried look spreading across his features “Hey Y/n, everything alright?” he places his hand on your shoulder
You didn’t know if you wanted to hug him or slap him, did he know, had Sirius already bragged to him? James had become your friend, you thought you could trust him “Umm” you close your eyes trying to process, thinking of what to say
“Y/n…” his voice dripping with worry now “You want me to get Sirius?”
“No” you say quickly shaking your head “Just…umm…bad cramps. Can you tell him I won’t be able to make it later, I…I don’t feel very well” you lie but in your current state he believes you and pulls you in for a hug?
You freeze a second before accepting it, your brain even more confused than before “You want us to get you chocolate while we are out?” he offers with a kind smile
You nod “Yes please” you give him a tight smile before heading up to your dorm
As you enter you’re happy the room is empty, there was no way you could lie to your friends and if they found out Sirius would be hexed and bet to a pulp before you had time to think things through. You kicked off your shoes, the tears flowing down your cheeks again but you didn’t care as you unzipped your jeans and let them drop to the floor, kicking them away as they did. Doing the same with your shirt and bra before heading to your bed, let out a sob as you saw one of Sirius’ jumpers, the one he’d given you when you were cold in stands last week.
Despite your better judgement you picked it up and put it on, giving the material of the collar a sniff. You felt so pathetic in that moment, no longer the strong girl you always held yourself up, but now a girl with a shattered heart that still loved him after what he’d done. You smoothed the large quilt and picked up your favourite blanket, gulfing yourself with it as you climbed onto your bed, pulling a spare pillow down to hug and muttering a spell on the door to muffle the cries in case someone heard as they walked by
As you cried you weighted your options, you could a) confront him and talk things through, b) just break up with him or c) let things run their course and watch what he does next. You were the definition of irrationally rational in the moment, as you thought about it you couldn’t help but think he really did love you, he wouldn’t feel guilty if he didn’t at least feel something for you. He wouldn’t have asked about your family, told you about his own, what his fears where or how he ran away if he wasn’t serious about you. So now you felt like option c was the only logical choice
Maybe you were being blind or far too hopeful, but you knew Sirius was going to do 1 of 3 things; one he’d let his pride get the better of him and be cruel and go through with it, which means his friends and him are pigs that should rot in hell. Two, he never tells you and allows your relationship to be built on a lie. Or three, the guilt would get to him and he confesses the whole thing. The third scenario was the one you hoped for, because that was the only one you and he had a possible future in
Tumblr media
“I’m fucked” James says as he dumps his quidditch gear down in the corner of is room before proceeding to fall onto his bed groaning
Remus chuckles “You still up for Hogsmeade or do you want us to grab you something?” he asks fixing his jacket
“Umm…nah I’ll come just give me five minutes” he replies sitting up and getting changed sluggishly as Peter and Sirius come in
“Hey man” Sirius pats his back smiling away “That last goal was awesome, the way you and Marlene did that one two was masterful” he compliments earning a proud smile from his friend
“Thank man, I’ll just nip to the loo before we head” James announces heading into the bathroom
The rest of the boys sit on their beds facing one another “So how’d it go last night, I would have asked at practice but I couldn’t hear anything with Marlene’s shouting” Remus chuckles recalling how she must have said every swear in the book twenty times as she directed everyone about
“It was…” Sirius smiles “…perfect, she was perfection” his smiles falters “And I’m an asshole…” he swallows hard
“Why?” Remus looks at him confused and a little concerned
Sirius looks up at two friends, tears pricking his eyes as he speaks “We need to call of the bet…I can’t lie to her anymore this is eating me alive” he confesses
“Mate” Remus lets out a relieved laugh “We all figured the bet was off ages ago” he reassures him while feeling relieved himself
“You thinking of telling her?” Peter asks hesitantly
Sirius nods “I love her, more than anything” he sighs looking down “She deserves to know the truth…even if she hates me after” he says painfully
Remus gives him a surprised look but inside he’s proud of his friends growth, the kind he hoped for all those weeks ago but that didn’t mean is heart didn’t hurt for him, as he was about to speak James saunters back in “I leave for two minutes and you all look like someone died” he jokes but no one’s laughs “Someone didn’t actually die did they?” he begins to panic
“No one died” Remus reassures “Pads has just let us know he’s going to tell y/n about the bet” he explains with a sad look
James relaxes before he looks at Sirius “You are?” he moves to sit next to Sirius right away, eyes widening as he nods “Wow” James breaths out “I’m proud of you, really it would be easy to pretend like it didn’t exist” that earns him a small smile from Sirius “I wouldn’t do it today or maybe you should you can do what you want but I ran into y/n earlier, I was going to tell you but the need to piss was more important…” he starts to ramble
“James” Sirius eyes him his tone warning
“Oh right” he let out a nervous laugh “She looked like she had been crying, I asked what was wrong and she said she had bad cramps, she looked like she was in a lot of pain” he winces remembering your state
Sirius eyes soften as he grows concerned “Where is she now?” he asks standing up
“Her dorm I think” James answers with a shrug
Sirius nods turning to Remus “Can I borrow some chocolate and that muggle…water heaty thing?” he asks
Remus nods “Yes and yes but it’s for y/n not you because you’ll puke” he points standing up and going into one of the drawers pulling out the hot water bottle
“That was one time…” Sirius whines looking at his friends that all eye him “Fine, 4 times but the last one wasn’t my fault” he concedes turning back to take the bottle
“Turn around” Remus says motioning “All of you…now” he ushers
The boys all turn around facing away yet still tease him for being so protective over his stash “Moony and Chocolate sitting in a tree” James starts
“K.i.s.s.i.n.g” the others join in
Tumblr media
When Sirius woke up that morning with you he was happy, the way you nuzzled into his chest made him feel at peace, but it was all bittersweet as he felt like he was lying to you. He didn’t care about the bet anymore, he just wanted this, you in his arms, you reading to him, playing with his hair. As he sat at practice that afternoon it was all he could think about, sure he could just tell his fiends it was off but that wouldn’t cure the pit in his stomach.
As he got to your dorm and knocked there was no answer so he gently pushed open the door, looking around quickly it seemed empty until he heard a light sniff. Walking deeper into the room his heart broke as he saw you curled into a little ball asleep. He set the now warm bottle on the bed next to him as he sat and the chocolate on your bedside table before he pushed some of your hair from your face. He winced at your puffy eyes and dried tears on your cheeks as well as the little wet patch on the pillow you were hugging. Standing up he moves around to the other side of the bed, lifting up the blanket and climbing in next to you.
As his arms gently wrapped around your waist being wary of your stomach he smiled as he noticed you in his jumper, gently kissing the side of your head “y/n?” you hum but stay asleep, lazily shifting around letting go of the pillow and hugging him instead
He chuckles a little at the adorable sight but the vibrations of his chest seem to wake you “Siri?” you say shakily not moving your head from his chest
“I’m here darling” he kisses the top of your head and helps you sit up “Prongs told me you’ve got bad cramps?”
You just stare at him, eyes pricking with tears as you have no idea what to say and you were only 40% sure you even heard him “Siri” you break down head falling into your hands
Sirius quickly scoops you into his arms, your legs straddling his as you cry into the crook of his neck, after a few minutes he speaks “Y/n?” you pull back a little staring at him with sad doe eyes “Here” he leans over grabbing the water bottle “Will this help I remember you and Marlene mentioning it once” he places it between the two of you on your stomach
You look down at it one hand going to grip it, your breathing heavy but your lips tug up at the gesture, a guy that was just using you for a bet wouldn’t drop everything and bring you a hot water bottle when he thought you had period pain
Your pulled from your thoughts by Sirius rubbing his hands up and down your arms “I brought you some chocolate too” he nods to the bar on your table
“Thank you, that’s very thoughtful” you lean forward giving him a kiss to the nose out of habit
He smiles but it falters “You can tell me to shut up if I’m wrong but if I was too rough this morning and you’re in pain or you regret…” he looks at you worried
“No you didn’t hurt me…” you shake your head giving him a little smile “…it was very much the opposite and…” you hesitate meeting his eyes “I didn’t regret it” It was true, whatever happened next you wouldn’t regret last night or the time you spend with him, even if it could be short lived
He nods “Good” he says relieved before he swallows hard “How are you feeling?” he asks hand subconsciously gazing your stomach
“I’m feeling better” you place your hand over his
As you look in his eyes you can see what looks like inner conflict as his eyes drift to yours and his hands “Y/n…” he looks back up eyes glassy “I need to tell you something” you nod slowly the sickness in your stomach returning “But before I do I need you to know that everything I said last night was true. I love you more than anything in this world” his eyes start to water
“Go on” you say quietly
“Before I first…the day we…emm” he starts before scrunching up his face rubbing his eyes a little as he thinks “Sorry I really should have practiced or thought what I was going to say…” he apologises “I made a bet with the boys…” he starts properly your heart sinking with the conformation
“What kind of bet?” you sniffle a little as your eyes water
His tears are threatening to fall as he speaks “That I could play you…” yours start falling “…and I agreed to it because I am…was…a utter arse” he says the words slowly as he tries to keep his emotions in but they gradually get the better of him while you stay quiet, letting him speak “When I first approached you I was only looking for one thing, trying to lure you in with my charms but it ended up being the opposite. You are the most wonderful person I’ve ever met, you make me feel at peace, the same way I feel laying on the couch in James living room while his mum cooks dinner” he takes a breath “You’re my home, it’s weird to say someone feels like your home but…I just know wherever you are is where I want to be” he reaches out to wipe the tears that where flowing down your face but stops himself, realising that you might not want him to touch you anymore “I love y/n, I’m always going to love you and no matter what you say next…” he wipes his nose with his hand not caring about letting you see him fully cry “I understand if you never want to see me again” he finishes
You heart ached, the vocal confirmation killed you but seeing Sirius completely break down hurt more, you wanted to kiss him, forgive him and tell him you loved him too but you couldn’t, you stayed silent like you bound to it
After a few minutes of painful silence, you finally speak “I don’t have cramps” you confess so quietly he almost didn’t hear it
He tilts his head “What?” he breaths out, he was expecting a punch or you to shout so this baffled him
“This morning I was going to give that girl her charms notes” he nods unsure of where you’re going with this “She told me she overheard your friends talking yesterday…” his heart drop “…about how last night was the night you were going to complete the bet” you look down refusing to look at him
Sirius felt like he was going to puke or faint or both, the realisation you had spent the whole day in your dorm crying was like an arrow to his chest, you were supposed to find out from him not some girl. He had no idea how anyone even knew, let alone why his friends would say something like that but that was a mess to deal with later
“How much was I worth?” you ask lowly
He winced at how broken you sounded “Anything the wanted from Hogsmeade I would buy…but y/n” he goes to cup your cheek but stops himself again “You stopped being a bet long ago…you are worth so much and I was so shallow to ever make that bet in first place”
“When?” you sniff “When did I stop being just a bet?” you still don’t look at him
“You remember the day I first sat next to you in class and I spaced out” you eyebrows knit together before you nod “All I could think about in that class was how much I wanted to know what it would be like to hold your hand in mine” his eyes drift to yours hands as the fiddle with the hem of your jumper “From then I knew you were more than just a bet but it wasn’t until I was listening to you read did I know for sure…from then everything I said wasn’t because of the bet it was…because I wanted to be with you”
You let out a shaky breath your heart fluttering and breaking all at once unsure of what to do, he seems to notice your turmoil but says quiet as he feels his own heart falling apart piece by piece
“Thank you, I appreciate you telling me” you nod lightly looking back up at him
He gives you a small smile bit it’s pained “Umm, so what do you want to do now?” he asks scared of the answer
You look him the eyes trying your hardest not to give in “I need some time to think” if there was going to be a future you needed to go away and mow things over
“Of course” he nods quickly starting to tear up again clearly heartbroken but he understood
You move to kneel on the bed next to him allowing him to get up, the loss of proximity killing the two of you, he turns back as he climbs off the bed “Thank you” you give him the smallest of smiles
He nods heading to the door and opening it, looking back one last time “I love you pretty girl” a tear falls from his eye as he says it before he leaves closing the door behind him
As the door shuts you burst into tears “I love you too pretty boy” you whisper to yourself
On the other side of the door Sirius fully breaks down, breathing heavy as clutches his chest, a pained sob escaping his lips as he begins to make his way back to his dorm. He was glad it was empty when he got there as he just collapsed on his knees to the floor, tears beginning to wet the carpet beneath him. He knew there was still a chance for you both, as small as it may be, but he knew he’d never forgive himself for breaking you, nor could he picture anything other than the hurt on your face.
He was so caught up in the emotional pain which had soon turned physical, to hear the door click open behind him “Pads?” James asks but there’s no response besides the sobs
The boys looked between each other before James knelt down on his left and Peter on his right while Remus did the same in front of him, all of their hearts aching and wondering the same thing
“Sirius” Remus says gently, hand moving to take his while Peter rubs his back and James places his own on his shoulder
Sirius doesn’t look up “I told her” he blubs out through the sobs
Remus closes his eyes for a second before squeezing his hand “What did she say?” he asks but as he glances between his two friend they all knew it couldn’t have been good
“I broke her…why do I break everything I touch” he states ignoring the question letting out a strained cry
James shakes his head his hand moving to pull Sirius’ face towards him cupping his cheeks “You do not break everything you touch” his eyes filled with concern, he had seen this only one before from his friend and it was the night he ran away so he knew the destructive path he could fall into and that scared him
“What happened Sirius?” Remus urges softly making James let go of his face
“I…” he swallows, snuffling a bit and wiping his nose with his jumper, composing himself enough to speak “I went to her dorm, she was crawled up in a little ball, already looked like she had had cried her heart out. I comforted her for a bit and then I told her. She just listened…Godric she looked so hearbroken… but…” his nose scrunches up “…the worst bit is she already knew” he shakes his head in disbelief
“She knew?” Peter questions looking puzzled, Remus equally so while the realisation hits James
“She didn’t have cramps, did she?” he asks to which Sirius shakes his head sadly “Earlier she froze when I hugged her at first…who…how” he struggles to process, thinking how confused he must have made you the guilt in his own stomach was crushing
“Some girl overheard you guys talking yesterday…told her when she gave her some notes this morning” Sirius explains
Remus lets out a series of confused sounds before he forms a sentence “If this girl did overhear us talking about the bet then she would have heard us saying how we thought it was off and that we were sure you loved her” he looks between Peter and James who nod in agreement
“Y/n said she told her that you said tonight was the night I’d complete it…why…who’s in advanced charms with us?” Sirius asks trying to recall
“Couldn’t tell ya, Marls and Lily would know” James suggests
“If they don’t kill me” he lets out an empty laugh
“Sirius” Peter speaks up “Are you and y/n still together or…I mean how did you leave things…” he corrects himself
“She said she needs time to think…you think she’ll ever forgive me…I don’t deserve it but…I don’t know what I’m going to do if she can’t” he breaks down again, his head falling into Remus’ chest “Merlin it hurts so much” he chokes out as he clutches onto his friends jumper while the boy wraps his arms around him looking worriedly at the other two
Tumblr media
The next day was a Sunday, both you and Sirius following a similar routine, neither of you leaving your bed except to go to the bathroom. Lily and Marlene were soon filled in on what happened and stayed up with you the previous night to talk while the boys did something similar with Sirius as they tried their best to support him. Lily stayed with you most of the day, only leaving to get you food, Marlene was there as well but she disappeared for about an hour, that hour was spend in the boy’s dorm
Originally, she was going to beat Sirius’ ass but as she got to the dorm she saw Sirius’ state she stopped herself, the way his face was chalk white under the red nose and puff eyes, not bothering to make up some apology just bracing himself for the incoming storm. Instead she asked him a bunch of questions, grilling him before she finally gave him a hug and let him cry into her much as you had done earlier.
On Monday morning the boys dragged Sirius down to breakfast, he reluctantly sat down at the table but he couldn’t eat, his eyes were just glued to the door waiting for you. The school had already begun to gossip, whispers of people seeing him crying coming out of your dorm, rumours that he had dumped you, while some saying you dumped him given the bags under his eyes and depressed mood or that you caught him cheating. With the rumours came the hungry eyes, people giving him flirty looks, one set in particular watching with a sinister smirk
Sirius seemed to perk up as he saw Marlene and Lily enter but it diminished seeing you were nowhere to be seen, as Lily and Marlene sat down next to him the latter answered his question “She isn’t coming” she shakes her head giving him an apologetic look
He nods pursing his lips to hold in his emotions as he moved the food around his plate aimlessly “Marls” James gets the girls attention
“Yeah?” she looks over up at him
“Did y/n tell you who the girl was?” he inquires, Sirius lifting his head to listen
Marlene nods scanning the room, quickly spotting the girl “You see the girl with black hair just down from Lovegood” she nods points subtly “She approached her on Thursday for the notes then the following morning told her…” she tilts her head “Okay is just me or she familiar” She asks, the question of this girls identify bugging her for the last 24 hours
Sirius stares at the girl for a second before he realises, Remus and James catching on while his eyes fill with anger as she catches his eye and winks before returning to her friend “Pads isn’t that…” James starts
“Yeah” he huffs turning back to his friends
“Who is she?” Lily asks completely out of the loop
“She was the last girl I was with before y/n. Last year I chased her for a bit, she seemed like she could be the one but when she dropped her hard to get act I realised she was a right bitch” he says bitterly “I never officially asked her out but every couple month we did…shag” he sighs disappointed with himself
“When was the last time?” Marlene probes
“A few days before I made the bet” he confesses “but after that I forgot about her, she’s nothing compared to y/n” he glances over at the girl whose smiling like she didn’t just destroy the most wonderful person in the whole world “I’m gonna kill her” he says plainly letting the anger swell
“I think you’re going to need to get in line pal” Marlene confesses equally as upset but this wasn’t the time “You need to calm down” she places her hand over his now balled fist
“How could she be that cruel, even if she was why make it worse by purposely waiting until the morning after” Lily says upset her heart hurting at the thought that someone could be so callous, James moves tentatively to take her hand and to his surprise she lets him so he gives it a comforting squeeze
“She’s obviously an jealous vindictive bitch, she knew you were falling for y/n and she wanted to fuck things up” Marlene says before taking a rather aggressive bite of toast
“She was supposed to find out from me…I’m the one that fucked it but she deserved to find out from me first…” Sirius starts to breathe faster “I’m sorry I…I can’t…” he stands up and walks out heading back to his dorm
As he reaches the common room he’s thankful it’s empty until he sees someone sneaking down the stairs “Y/n?” he freezes eyes trailing over you, still in your pyjamas your eyes tired and puffy
You looked like a deer in headlights “Umm…I left my book down here a few nights ago” you explain looking anywhere but him
Sirius nods looking over at the window sill you both used to sit together and read at, he walks over and grabs the book for you, his hands glazing over the cover “Sorry” he apologies as he hands it to you
“Thanks Si-” you stop yourself briefly an act which breaks his and your heart “Thanks” you nod
“Anytime” he gives you a sad smile
You start to retreat back to the stair’s eyes glued to your book while Sirius just watches you leave as you get to the doorway you turn back as you hear him ask “How does it end?” you watch him cringe obviously realising he should have just let you go but he couldn’t stop himself
“I don’t know…I stopped reading so we could read it together” you say the last part quietly but he heard it
“You think you’ll ever finish it?” he asks as you meet his eyes, knowing what he’s really asking
“I hope so” you reply before walking up the stairs
Tumblr media
Little under two weeks had passed since that day, you did head to class later in the week but Sirius and Marlene had switched back so he could give you some space. It was horrible, the distance was killing you both and the longer you were away the more the answer became clear to you, you loved him and he loved you, even though he made a mistake but he owned up to it and took responsibility. You forgave him before he even told you, you had already forgiven him for anything he would ever do, so as you sat in your room staring out the window you had decided.
Hopping off the sill you changed out of your nightwear into some jeans and grabbed Sirius’ jumper slipping it on, the charm to keep his scent had almost completely faded now since you had worn it to bed almost every night. You quickly fixed your hair, not bothering with make up merely putting on some tinted lip balm lily gifted you, before heading out in search of your pretty boy
Currently, your pretty boy was wandering around the empty hallways while most students were out building snowmen or having snowball fights. As he kicked a little stone further down the hall, repeating the process as he continued to walk, all he could think about was you, his hope hadn’t faded but it didn’t make the ache in his chest hurt any less. The gossip around made his blood boil, he didn’t care what people called him but it was the comments he heard about you, some painting you as whore while others called you used goods, he just couldn’t take someone calling you such things when you were an angel.
He was so deep in thought he was only pulled out of it when he looked down at where the rock should be to kick again and he saw feet “Hiya Siri” his nose scrunched up at the annoyingly high-pitched voice
Neither notice you rounding the corner and freezing before proceeding to back up a bit “What do you want?” he says annoyed trying to keep himself from blowing up at her
She looks at him with a nauseatingly innocent look “What’s wrong Siri not over that little distraction yet? You know you always come back to me…” she reaches out to touch his arm but he recoils “…come on she’s never going to forgive you now” she says dropping her little act while you cross your arms glaring at the girl
He shakes his head “No” he scoffs “If she never forgives me I wouldn’t blame her but that fact would never…never make me consider you. I love her not you, her” he says firmly making your heart flutter
“No you don’t” the girl rebuts “You only wanted her because of a bet and you’re just feeling guilty. You pursued me first because I intrigued you, you love me” she says desperately
“You’re delusional” he looks at her in disbelief
“Siri you-” she starts only to be cut off by you
“Only I get to call him that…well maybe the other marauders do as well but you can’t missy” you point at her making her go wide eyed
“Y/n” Sirius breaths out a smile gracing his face as you join him by his side
The girl soon recovers, face hardening and about to speak but you cut her off once more “Don’t say anything else sweetie you’re just going to embarrass yourself” you take Sirius’ hand in yours “He’s my pretty boy, he was never yours and I will not ask you kindly because you don’t deserve that so back off and leave us the fuck alone”
She goes to protest but you make a little sound, doing it every time she speaks making Sirius try to hold back his chuckles. Eventually she gives up, letting out a strained and annoyed ‘ugh’ before stomping off, leaving you satisfied while Sirius just looks at you in a happy shock. His heart soaring at your words, hoping you really meant when you said he was yours again and merlin had he almost forgotten how feisty you could be. His eyes then drifted to the jumper you wear wearing and it only made him smile more
He hadn’t even noticed you were now looking at him “Eyes are up here big guy” you tease giggling at his slightly flustered look as he realised that it defiantly looked like he was eyeing your chest
He chuckles before his hand reaches out to play with the hem of the jumper looking at you as he does “Am I really your pretty boy again?” he asks hopefully
You take his hand off of the jumper and bring it to your lips kissing is knuckles softly “You never stopped” you shake your head lightly breaking out in a smile
He lets out a happy sigh of relief face morphing into a similarly wide smile “I love you so much” his free hand comes up to cup your cheek, thumb gently caressing your cheek down to your jawline “I’d really like to kiss you but if…mhm” you cut him off by letting go of his hand and pulling his face down to yours, lips meeting roughly and messy but at the same time it was perfect
He stumbled a bit before he returns the kiss, hand moving to the back of your head and the other snaked around your waist to pull you close while yours drift down to his chest.
You kiss for almost a good minute before he pulls back, both of you panting lightly as you catch your breath “I missed you” you confess
“I missed you too” he nuzzles his nose with yours making you giggle, the sound heavenly after so long while you soak up the closeness you had missed “My pretty girl”
“And my pretty boy” you reply tilting your head as he moves into kiss you again

Invisible String Chapter One
I wrote this fic from the point of view of my OC because i just wanted to develop her a little more. Please let me know your feedback and opinions. It is a modern day Marauders fic with my OC x Fabian Prewett, wolfstar and Jily.
Tags: Swearing, roommates ish, idk what else
Despite her trusted Jeep Wrangler, the drive from New York to Boston was hell for Amethyst. The only reason she did it every weekend was because James and Sirius’ apartment had better alcohol than hers did. Also because they were her oldest friends and she missed them, but she would never admit that. Besides, she had never missed a game night and she wasn’t about to start now. It took her five hours and two iced lattes, but she finally made it.
“Right on time, Meth.” James greeted her with a hug. He had been the Black twins’ oldest friend. The three had been inseparable since their first day of boarding school at 11. That was so long ago, but Meth remembered it like it was yesterday. She had been to their apartment enough times by now to comfortably navigate her way around.  
“Where’s my brother?”
“Where do you think he is? The bathroom, as usual. He’s dressing up for Remus.”
“Those two finally decided to shag each other?” Remus was the boys’ next door neighbor. He had become a regular at the Black-Potter game nights when the boys moved into the apartment. Him and his roommate, Lily. Neither James nor Sirius complained about these new additions to their group. Though she often felt like a fifth wheel around them, Meth wasn’t complaining either. She had grown quite fond of both of them.
“We’re not shagging. Yet.” Sirius’ head poked out of the bathroom.
“How come you never dress up for me, then, Pads?” A knock on the boys’ front door cut their conversation short.
“I’LL GET IT!” Sirius yelled from the bathroom, making a beeline for the door. Running his hand through his hair a final time, he opened the door. “Hello, Remus.”
Remus stood there with his mouth slightly open. Sirius’ strategy to blind him with glitter and makeup seemed to be working. While the pair stared at each other for an uncomfortably long amount of time, James and Meth welcomed Lily inside.
“We brought Pictionary! And drinks, once Remus can stop staring at your brother.” The mention of his name snapped Remus back to reality.
“Right. I’ve got some hard lemonade right here.”
“Oh, and I invited a friend. I met him during a swim meet. He’s over at Boston University, wants to be a writer.” James would invite half of Boston into his apartment if he could.
“Is he hot?” James raised an eyebrow at Meth’s question. She simply shrugged. “What? I’m tired of being a fifth wheel around here.”
The games began shortly afterward. The five of them were very competitive as a group, especially Amethyst. She was second to Remus, behind only by one point. All she had to do was not let the Jenga tower in front of her fall and victory would be hers. Just as she was about to make her move, somebody knocked on their front door. In a moment of distraction, Meth accidentally knocked over the tower in front of her.
“That must be Fabian.” James got up to get the door.
“Is that the son of a bitch who cost me this round?”
“Be nice, we have guests. And he brought wine.” Meth rolled her eyes at how quickly her brother was willing to sell himself for a bottle of cheap merlot.
“I also brought a poker set. I wasn’t sure what kind of game night this was.”
“Excellent. Everybody, meet Fabian. Fab, that’s Sirius, Remus, Lily and Meth.” He was tall - six feet, Meth would guess - and well-structured. He was exactly her type.
“Meth? That’s an unusual name.”
“It’s short. Like she is.”
“Sirius, I swear to God-” She cut herself short and turned her attention to the stranger in front of her. “Amethyst. My name is Amethyst.”
He smiled and grabbed the empty seat next to her. “So what are we playing?”
“Now that we have an even number of players, we can play Pictionary.” For as bad an artist as she was, Lily was really excited about Pictionary. The group gave in and played a few rounds before moving on to poker. Sirius’ many requests for turning it into strip poker instead were denied.
“We know you want to see Remus’ dick, Siri,but try and keep it in your pants.”
“As if you don’t want to see James take his shirt off.” Sirius’ comment was directed at Lily but Meth couldn’t stop herself from imagining what Fab might look like under that baggy shirt.
“Is this how these always go?” Fab leaned in closer to Meth’s ear and whispered.
“Usually. This isn’t even the worst of it.”
“At least tell me they’re hot. If they’re going to start stripping, I’d rather know what I’m in for.”
“You do know Sirius is my twin, right?”
“I did not know not. James did not tell me that.” Fab turned nearly as red as his hair. “Identical?”
“Minus the penis, yes. Mine’s bigger.”
Fab laughed and Meth realized she hadn’t heard something so contagiously beautiful in a very long time. Or ever, to be honest. He was as fun as he was handsome. That was going to be trouble for her. As the fatigue and hunger from their days set in, game night was brought to a pause. James offered to order dinner for the group. Lily and Sirius’ bickering had evolved into her braiding his hair in a corner. Meth decided to use this opportunity to stretch her legs. She grabbed her beer and headed for the balcony outside.
“Care to join me? This is one of my favorite views in the city.” Fab was only too quick to take her up on her offer. The night was chillier than either of them expected it to be. It was refreshing. Maybe it was the alcohol, or the fact that Fab was sitting close enough to her for her to be able count the freckles on his face, but he was even prettier in the moonlight. Definitely trouble. They weren’t outside for very long before James called them back inside.
“Food’s here. You can flirt later.”
“We weren’t flirting. We weren’t even talking.”
“Meth, you were looking at him with literal hearts in your eyes so please don’t give me that bullshit.” She hadn’t realized that until James pointed that out. James could be wrong. Meth really wasn’t the type of girl to look at anyone with hearts in her eyes, no matter how handsome they were.

the marauders where going to prank severus snape which the did on the daily.
James Potter came up with the plan
Sirius black got the equipment that was needed
Peter Pettigrew just agreed with the plan
Remus Lupin try to stop the plane but didn't work
M/n basically Snape's wingman and friend
near the black lake snape sat he was going to meet lily and ask her out on a date but what he didn't know is that the marauders were hiding under the invisible cloak waiting for the right moment to strike.
m/n was walking around the school grounds once he got near the path to the black lake he heard people the more he got closer he saw a crowd of people laughing so loud sound of laughter over lapping one another to loud for your liking.
So the marauders caught snape off guard and the plan was set in stone. James just stupefied snape sirius got the rope and tie the rope around Snape's ankles and tie the other end to a branch of the tree and pull his pants down the three marauders started to laugh but remus was uncomfortable with the whole prank he looked at Snape's eyes and saw frightened look in his eyes.
m/n pushed through the crowd and saw the marauders and then his best friend tied to the tree but that wasn't the worst part of the prank m/n brought his wand out and stupefied James sirius turned around to see m/n and he didn't looked happy sirius started to backup. m/n put his wand away and charged sirius and tackle him to the ground and started to punch him over and over again it got to a point where remus had to pull him away form Sirius
After the beat down you untie snape he pull his pants up he looked down at the ground you walked snape out of there and went to your shared room with snape.

𝐔𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 — 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫
summary — you come home upset, to a lovely james.
warnings/tags — fem!reader, she/her pronouns, sad!reader, hurt/comfort, very short! was really just projecting when I had a bad day the other day
word count — 790
James knows your usual routine when you get home. He’s tuned to every sound; can tell what you’re doing from the other side of your flat.
The clatter of your keys in the mosaic dish at the door, your shoes being kicked under the rack, usually with little care. If it’s cold, he’ll hear the ruffle of your coat being hung up or the shake of your umbrella outside.
If James is lucky, he’ll hear you humming a tune. Whether it be a song you listened to on your way home or an ad you watched this morning over your shared breakfast. Whatever it usually is, James loves it. Thinks it’s quite adorable in his own lovesick opinion.
Though when he hears the door open on this rainy, Tuesday afternoon, he hears none of that. If you hadn’t messaged him that you’d be home soon, he’d expect it to be an intruder.
If James listens closely enough, he’s sure he can hear sniffling. Wet and sad. He’s up from his spot at the kitchen counter immediately. Padding towards your room when he hears the door click shut behind you. He doesn't even hear you call out a Hello, James! So he knows something's wrong. Not that he'd ever expect much from you when you get home from work - it's just routine by now.
He knocks, followed by a light call of your name. He doesn't hear you respond, still, he opens up the door. He peeks around to find you sprawled across your shared, made bed, face down in the pillows. If he wasn't wearing his glasses, he wouldn't catch the slight shake of your back.
"Sweetheart?" he asks quietly, socks digging into the soft carpet as he makes his way over to the side of the bed, "You all right?"
"James," you murmur into the plush of your pillow, barely to be heard when you push your head further down.
The crack in your voice has the same effect on his heart, "What's up?"
When he finally sits down, right by your shoulders, you look up and he clocks your red and puffy eyes, the slight pout your lip gives, "James," you repeat just as sad as the last. Maybe worse.
"Hey," he coos, hand coming up to palm the corded muscle of your shoulder. Concern warps his features and he thinks if doesn't find out the source of your grievance in the next minute he might throw up.
You sit up a little, holding yourself up on a shaky arm, using your hand to cruelly wipe at your cheeks. Sniffling and hiccuping into your palm.
Frowning, James takes your hands into one of his and encourages you to sit up, using the other to stable you on your back.
You kick your feet out over the edge and bring your chin to your chest, "M'sorry." you clear your throat, trying to compose yourself, "Had an awful day."
"Oh, sweetheart," he coos sympathetically, helping you into his side when he wraps an arm over your shoulders. Giving you, what he hopes, is a reassuring squeeze.
"Horrible day," you affirm, pressing your nose into his chest. Your fingers tangle in his shirt, holding on tightly.
James presses his chin into the top of your head when he says, "Wanna talk about it?"
Your nose rubs over his pec when you shake your head, humming a no.
"Okay," James says, moving to kiss you over your hair. Agreement all mumbled.
Your shoulders tense less when he's kissing you more, though not relaxed enough in James' opinion. "Do I need to practice my right hook on anyone?''
"My boss," you laugh weakly.
James tenses, "Really?" He angles his head down to catch your face. The tears have stopped, but you still look awfully sad.
"No, you're punching skills are fine." There's the barest smile there, "We don't need a repeat of New Year's"
James chuckles knowingly, "Hey, in my defence-"
"He was a dickhead."
"He was a dickhead!"
"He was," you agree. He'd said something horrible about Remus, and James had punched him square in the jaw. He'd complained about his bruised knuckles for a week. You giggle at the memory.
"God, I love that," James groans.
"What?"
"That laugh." He squeezes you more until your face is closer to his.
You hide yourself in his shoulder, flushed face now only warm because James is a charmer. Not because you'd cried up a storm.
"Do you wanna have a shower?" James offers, stroking up the length of your back.
"Only if you're joining me." You look up and press your nose into his chin, over the scratch of his light stubble.
"That's expected now, lovely,"
You giggle, "How assuming of you, Potter."

Navigation | Remus Lupin Masterlist | Celebration
Tumblr media
Remus came down from his dorm rubbing his hands together, a nervous excitement running through his veins as he took a seat on the couches
“All set up?” James asks smirking
Remus nods “Yeah, Lily and Marls had to help but it’s all ready to go” he says leg bobbing up and down as his eyes flick to the door, awaiting your arrival
Sirius chuckles at him “She’s gonna love it Moony” he assures and the boy smiles
“Hope so” Remus chuckles nervously “You sure…”
“YES!” James and Sirius cut him off in unison
“Moony she loves you, like love, loves you. Godric, you’re probably gonna make that lil heart of hers explode” the former tells him
Remus smiles, chewing on his lip when a boy approaches the couches
“One of you is dating Y/l/n right?” he asks causing Sirius and James to point at Remus while he sits up straighter
“Yeah she’s my girl” he didn’t mean for the emphasis…okay maybe he did a little, he may be the 'shy marauder' but he would let the whole world know you were his
James and Sirius share a look grinning, making note to tease their friend tomorrow, since Remus had kicked them out for the whole night…in fact they would be teasing him about that as well.
“She’s standing outside” he informs him before walking away towards the dorms
Remus tilts his head, a confused look on his face as he stands up and heads out of the common room. As he exits he sees you standing there, rather awkwardly, but still utterly adorable in his eyes
“Love?” he smiles at you, taking your hand in his as he approaches
You light up at his presence “Hi Rem” you greet
He lets out a little laugh “What ya doing out here?” he wonders and you bite your lip, peering up at him with those pretty eyes of yours “That jumper brings out your eyes you know” he adds not thinking, relishing in your little smile as you look down
“Thank you” you reply quietly, your fingers playing with his before you look up, all shy and embarrassed “I forgot the password…” you confess “…and I was too nervous to ask someone else for it” 
He presses his lips together to contain his smile “How long have you been standing here?” he inquires, his heart should have ached but he couldn’t help letting it flutter, you were just so damn cute
“Honest answer or fake answer” you pose
“Fake”
“5 minutes”
He moves his arm to wrap around you, hand never leaving yours as he does “And the real one?” he extends the syllables
You blink cutely at him a couple times “An hour and five minutes” you cringe, head falling into the side of his chest, feeling the vibrations of supressed laughter
“Aww love” his other arm comes around to hold you, pressing a kiss to your hair “Let’s go straight to my dorm” he tells you, releasing you from his embrace and holding out his hand for you to take instead, heart-warming as your arms wrap around his, your cheek pressing into his bicep
Walking into the common room you pass by James and Sirius who give you smiles and waves, which you return shyly. When you turn to look in front, you miss James and Sirius cuddling into each other and teasing Remus with kissy faces
Remus stops just before the door to his dorm “You trust me?” he asks and when you nod, not skipping a beat, he feels his own do just that “Then close your eyes for me love”
You do as he says, hearing the door open then feeling his hands grip your shoulders and gently manoeuvre you into the room. He closes the door, standing closely behind you as his hands slither around your waist, loving your little squeak as he kisses your neck 
“You can open your eyes now” he whispers into your hair, nose nudging into it as his hands come to rest on your hips
Your eyes flutter open, mouth dropping as you see the beds pushed to the edges of the room, a mattress (presumably Remus’) on the floor, draped in the softest covers and blankets. Then you see it, a projector placed pointing at a white sheet that looks like it was attached to the ceiling with a sticky charm
“You like it?” you hear him ask, head peering around to see your reaction
There were no words to describe how much you were in love with it, nor your love for this boy, so you turned around and hugged him tightly. He returns the embrace, chin resting on top of your head, smiling to himself as he knew this was your way of telling him you adored it
Breaking away he slips off his shoes since the bed fort took up most of the floor and you follow suit
“You want to get into pyjamas before we start?” he asks
Your eyes widen “I didn’t bring any” you pout, you didn’t realise he wanted you to stay…oh merlin you were going to be staying!
“You can borrow some of mine?” he offers holding out his hand to help you over the fort and to his dresser
“Thanks Rem” you squeeze his hand
He squeezes it back and adds a kiss to your cheek for good measure before letting go and raking through his drawers. Pulling out two white shirts, one short sleeved, the other long, as well as two pairs of red checked bottoms
“I promise I didn’t plan this” he says blushing, handing over the clothing “Just thought it be…cute if we were matching” his blush deepens, if the other boys found out about this one he’d never live it down 
You go on your tip toes and place a peck to his lips “I love it…” you say softly “…and I love you”
He grins “I love you more” he insists, cutting off your almost dispute with a kiss “Let’s get changed”
You move over to lay the clothing on the bed nearby, arms crossing as you grip the hem of your jumper before you realise “Ugh Rem?” you turn around, a smile gracing your face as you see Remus, shirtless, mid-way pulling on his shirt
“Yeah love?” he asks as he finishes but you give him no response, instead he’s met with your lips parted and staring at his mid drift
He smirks to himself, feeling rather attractive in that moment “Bunny?” he says, smirk growing as he knew how much that pet name had an effect on you
The first time he said it was an accident, and he honest to merlin though he broke you for almost an hour in class. That, of course, didn't stop him from using it, if anything he resevered for your most intimate moments, or, you know, to make you flustered beyond compare
You only snap out of your flustered state as his hands touch your shoulders
“Your gonna kill me” you say quietly
He chuckles sweetly, kissing your forehead
“I’m gonna go to the loo, and finish getting changed” he tells you, moving to grab the bottoms and head to the bathroom, stopping just before he gets there “Knock the door when you’re done okay?” 
You nod giving him a smile, which he returns before closing the door. As soon as the door shuts you did a little jump, supressing your squeal, closing your eyes and bouncing for a couple seconds before finally getting changed.
His clothes were comfy and soft, the trousers were a bit long so you were shuffling a fair bit but it didn’t matter too much, you would be laying down most of the night...and if things went well (spolier they did) you wouldn't need them at all
“Rem” you knock on the door lightly, giggling as you hear him knock back a tune before the door opens
His mouth opens to speak but nothing comes out, instead his eyes trail down your figure. You looked good in his clothes, looking the cutest you had ever been and at the same time he couldn’t help but feel a little warm at the sight
“You look hot” he says breathlessly, then realises what he said “I mean…you…” you start giggling thankfully “You look cute…and hot…is that okay?” he asks, tips of his ears going crimson
You nod “More than okay...you look hot too...and cute” you say, biting your lip
He smiles “Well now we know we are both hot…and cute…especially you, always you” he says in the sweetest way, taking your hand and leading you to the bed “Lets watch a movie before we both combust” he lets out a laugh
“What movie is it?” you ask as he fixes the blanket to cover you both, making sure you get most of it
“Impatient bunny” he lightly scolds and you let out a hiccup of a gasp
Merlin and she says I’m gonna kill her, he thinks, leaning back so he can reach the projector and flicking it on to start the movie. You smile, shuffling closer to him, body turning into him as your eyes stay fixed on the screen
You know the movie straight away “How did you?” you turn to him, it was your favourite
“I have my ways…” he says coyly, kissing your lips softly “…those ways being Pandora and Reggie”
You giggle, pulling his face by the cheeks to connect your lips one more
“You know...I can't kiss you properly if you cheese like that” he mumbles into the kiss but he really isn't complaining, seeing you so happy and smiley because of him was the best feeling
You break away “Sorry” you apologise, but the smile never leaves your face “This is just the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for me”
He nudges his nose against yours before his arm snakes around, pulling you flush against him “Don’t be love” he smiles down at you “But you better get used to this, cause this is only the beginning…literally as in the movie night but also with me being all…cute...and weird...” he says the first part smoothly and if he’s stopped there he would have been, but you loved him more for the cute tumble that came after it
“You’re a dork Remus Lupin” you giggle, looking up at him through your eyelashes before your arms hug him tighter “and I love you for it” you kiss his chest before laying your head on it, beginning to watch the movie
Remus smiles to himself, I’m her dork

WATTPAD FIC Jily | I Can’t Love Him
Regulus sat at his desk. He scribed the letters carefully, etching each line with intent. Voices stirred two floors below him. He placed his quill gently in the ornate stand and turned in his chair. The door of his bedroom was open, allowing the voices to waft up the stairs and into his room. A glass shattered. Regulus rose from his desk and made his way silently to the doorway.
Footsteps thundered up the staircase. Sirius flew past Regulus into the room adjacent, slamming the door behind him. Regulus shifted on his feet, unsure of what to do. After a moment, he pressed out of the room and down the landing. Two short knocks. He was met with no response but opened the door nonetheless to find Sirius tearing apart his room. Sirius stood with his back to the door, he was throwing everything in arm's reach into a trunk that lay open on the bed.
Regulus spoke from the threshold, "You're not leaving." He wasn't sure whether it was a question or a statement.
Sirius's shoulders slackened. He didn't respond. He picked up a small, rectangular mirror from his bedside table and slid it into his pocket, nestling beside his wand. He clicked his trunk shut, grabbed the handle roughly and made his way out of the room. He stopped and half turned towards Regulus, avoiding his younger brother's eyes.
"You know I have to." Sirius's voice was small.
Regulus shook his head, lips pressed in a tight line.
"Then come with me," Sirius offered.
"I can't—"
"Yes. You can."
"Sirius, I'm not leaving. And neither are you."
Sirius's eyes prickled, "Goodbye, Reg."
Regulus tried to block Sirius's path, but his small frame was much weaker than his brother's who pushed past him easily. The trunk thumped rapidly down the stairs. Regulus stood, frozen, listening as the front door swung open.
"I won't have you back here," Mrs Black's cold voice menaced.
Regulus winced as the door slammed in response. His throat tightened. He hurried into his room, throwing aside the emerald drapes concealing the window and searched the street below.
Sirius trudged down the front steps into the dimly lit street. A Summer storm was rolling in, snuffing out the sun and washing Grimmauld Place with grey unhappiness. He threw out his wand arm, and with an enormous bang and a flash of headlights, a violently purple triple-decker bus skidded to a stop in front of him...
