Tumblr media
You doodled in the margin of your parchment, mostly little drawings representing you and your friends animagus forms. A stag for James, a dog sitting in a crescent moon for Sirius and Remus and a rat laying a top of a cheese block for Peter
You were just adding detail to the wings of your own form when a little bit of paper landed in front of you. Looking up at the professor you saw he was still droning on about some kind of charm, merlin did you hope Flitwick would be back soon because this guy sucked 
Although one silver lining was with him not paying attention you could unfold the paper, smiling as you instantly recognised the impeccable handwriting
You look pretty today
Glancing to your right you see Regulus sitting with Barty at the other end of the classroom, Barty seems to be busy trying to do what seems like origami while Regulus is already subtly looking at you
You scrawl on the paper holding it up, you say that every day, you bite your lip
His lips tug gently, an act most would miss but not you. He writes on his own parchment, because it’s true, and in my defence I said cute yesterday, he holds it up briefly, long enough for only you to read and not even Barty notices, although the boy wouldn’t really mind anyway, just give your boyfriend a good teasing for it
He revels in your reaction, that smile that you always wore just that little bit brighter when he was around, he gives you a little nod before returning to watch Barty and you go back to your drawings  
Around 10 minutes pass and you were just beginning to sketch the constellation Regulus lies in when a little flower lands on your desk
Picking it up you unfold the little flap that says, open me, doing as it says you smile at the words, still on for our date little bird?
You look over, noticing Barty’s flowers are terrible compared to this one and you nod ‘Just need to grab the map first’ you mouth to him and he nods
Soon enough class was over and as you walked out Regulus gently brushed his hands with yours, whispering a soft ‘see you at your spot’. You watched him walk off with Barty, Evan and Pandora with the biggest smile, your relationship wasn’t exactly secret, his friends knew, and Lily knew being the one to cover for you in your dorm, but really you kept your relationship on the down low so your fellow marauders wouldn’t find out
You were two years younger than the boys but being Remus’ childhood friend, you were pretty much welcomed in the moment you got on the train in first year. In their fifth and your third they became animagus with you doing the same the following year…and yes it took entire year of you, James, Sirius and Peter begging for Remus to finally cave and let you do it too. Earning the nickname ‘chirp’ when you succeeded, not only from your form but because you were always upbeat and happy
Of course, they hated Slytherins, well, James and Sirius did with a passion while Peter and Remus were just wary of them. You didn’t mind them, sure there were Slytherins you wanted to punch and in fact had done as such back in second year, but most were actually pretty nice when the Lastrange’s of the world weren’t watching
“Prongs!” you call out as you see him passing, waving to him from afar
His head scoots up at the call, looking around until he spots you. A grin grows on his face, turning back to say goodbye to Marlene before jogging up to you
“Hey haven’t seen you all day” he throws his arm around you, pulling you roughly into him and making you giggle 
“Nice to see you too”
“So, what did you just escape from?” he asks, his arm more relaxed as you both walk aimlessly down the corridor
“Charms” you inform, leaning your head into him
You were closest with Remus but after he and Sirius began dating, you and James bonded more whilst they were being all couple-y. Peter was there too but he usually changed into a rat and went a nap in order to escape their pda. Which was something James couldn’t inconspicuously do, although, you and he did manage to convinced everyone you were his pet bird for a month last year…and may have helped him cheat just a bit on some tests and steal a bunch of stuff from the class storerooms
“Godric with the substitute?” you nod “How did you survive?” he wonders rather dramatically “No but really, how? Teach me your ways dear birdy” he uncouples himself and bows before you
“You’re silly” 
“I know” he takes it like a compliment as he should, returning to his previous position
“I just doodled and listened pans as she explained her latest experiment” 
He nods “Fair enough, although…” you keep your smile but you know that although “…just watch out with Pandora, she’s a little weird and that’s fine but she’s friendly with Slytherins alright?” he says it softly, like he’s trying to protect you
You give him a little nod “Sure thing Prongs” you say, not wishing to ruin the moment nor your chances of why you sought him out “Say” you stop walking “You mind if I borrow the map for a couple hours?” you ask sweetly
He nods right away, moving to get it out of his satchel “Hear ya go” he hands it over with a smile
“Thanks Prongs” you slip it into your own bag “I need to go but I’ll see you later in the common room?”
“Yeah see you then” he gives you a wink and smile, waiting until you walk off before it drops and he digs into his bag again to retrieve a certain cloak
Tumblr media
James felt guilty following you, so much he almost turned back as well. Almost. He just had a funny feeling you were keeping something from him and the others, he didn’t think that something was necessarily a bad something, more he was just curious as to why you needed the map so often. 
Along the way he saw you stop at a window, checking your hair and putting on some lip balm. That’s when he smirked, you were seeing someone
He and the boys were protective, they’d defend you till the say they died but they weren’t so protective they would stop any person from seeing you. Still he knew why you might keep it a secret, Remus and Sirius kept theirs quiet for quite a while as did Alice and Frank, even if everyone and their grandmother could see it coming
“Back of the library, classy” he chuckles as he follows little ways back, this area was known for secret liaisons, yet he as he followed he ended up in an area he’d never been before, which wasn’t uncommon for him since you and Remus did the schematics for it
He watched you place your books on the table, satchel hanging over the back of the chair along with your robe, looking like it was any other study session until…
“Saucy” he notes, watching as someone wraps their arms around you from behind, kissing your neck
He was about to retreat and give you some privacy but then he registers the green tie as you turned around. Pushing his glasses up he grimaced at the scene, watching you get pressed against the bookshelves by a snake of all people…and not just any snake
“Pads is gonna flip…fuck” he curses, shaking his head and quickly walking out of the library, debating all the way back of what to do with this new-found information
It was a shame he left so early, completely misinterpreting the scene as a hook-up rather than what it truly was, two people who were more than a little in love with one another meeting for their bi-weekly study date
“Sorry lovely” Regulus apologies, his thumb trailing over your now plump lips 
You shake your head lightly, not wanting to disrupt his movements “You never have to be sorry for kissing me” you can’t stop the smile from spreading on your face, not when he’s shining down at you like this 
He pecks your smile “Still” his arms gently peel you off the bookshelf, one slithering around to rub the impact mark “Didn’t mean to give you a possible bruise…in more than one area” he nudges his nose into your neck
You sigh at the small circles on your back “It’s okay, doesn’t hurt so don’t worry your pretty little head” his cheeks raise, a dusting of pink coating them at you calling him pretty
This was the Regulus few got to see, the mushy one who was a complete softy for you, his Gryffindor birdy. The one that could make him flustered beyond compare with a single word, touch or glance
“You okay there gorgeous?” you tease him just a little and he licks his lips
“Stop” he says holding back the biggest smile 
He encourages you over to sit at the table, trying to compose himself but it’s hard when your around
“Or what beautiful?” you smirk
You watch as he quickly shrugs off his robes and cardigan, dragging the chair around so he can sit beside you before he pulls you down into the adjacent seat, his movements soft while his voice is firm
“Or I’ll do more than press you against the bookshelf” he warns, hand squeezing your upper thigh before sliding down towards the knee and resting it there
You let out a little gasp at his actions, remaining quiet as you open one of the books before whispering a soft “Handsome”
He chuckles, that small bit of firmness he held fading “You swallow a thesaurus?” he wonders kissing your cheek
“No” you shy away with a pouty smile playing on your lips
“How many more do you have because you better get them out now or we’ll never get through Slughorn's essay” his hand wraps further into your inner thigh, thumbs gently sweeping across the thin fabric of your tights
“Cute, stunning, charming…” you say quickly,
“Done?” he asks sweetly, the tint in on his face darkening
“Exquisite” you kiss his cheek “Magnificent” then one to his nose causing it to scrunch oh so cutely “Wonderful” you finish with a peck to the lips “Now I’m done” you grin turning back to the books and leaving him positively flustered
“Maybe over the course of two hours would have been better” he admits and when you glance back his cheeks are crimson “Merlin you make me soft” he lets out a little laugh 
“How soft?” you ask, positively beaming at him and his state
“Like the blankets we take the astronomy tower had a baby with a cloud and…I mean…okay I really don’t know where I was going with that but you get the idea” he covers his face as you both start giggling, leaning into you as you laugh together
“You’re adorable” you add and he pretends like he got a dagger to the heart
“You can’t surprise attack me with that you cruel women…I’m a puddle now”
Tumblr media
You really were a ray of sunshine when you returned to the common room, that was until you were greeted with no one but your friends sitting around the couches, looking like they were plotting for war
“Who pissed us off this time?” you giggle, dropping your bag off your shoulder and letting it drag as you reach the couches
They didn’t laugh. Remus and Peter looked nervous, the former rubbing Sirius’ back in a soothing motion, something he only had to do when his boyfriend was beyond upset. Your eyes flicked to James, he didn’t look as angry as Sirius but more disappointed, and somehow that was worst 
A pit started forming in your stomach
“Where were you?” Sirius asks, voice cold
“The library” you try to keep your smile, hoping maybe they’ve just had a bad day
“With?” he says shorty, pressing his lips together to spot himself saying more
“Why does this feel like an interrogation?” you swallow hard, heart thumping in your chest hoping to merlin this wasn’t happening, that maybe you fell asleep during study or this was some weird prank
Sirius sits forward “Maybe it wouldn’t if you weren’t off fucking my little brother?” he comes right out with it
You froze, feeling like all life left your body as they stare you down, the judgement in his voice, the disappointment, the rage
“I…I wasn’t” you try to speak, to explain, but James just huffs a laugh
“I saw you, y/n” that was the moment you knew they may never forgive you, he used your real name “That why you’ve been asking the map multiple times a week since we started back? Off to your little corner in the library to get pressed up against it” he accuses
You felt your face warm at the knowledge he had seen you and then the guilt spread across your face 
“Are you going to keep lying to us?” 
Sirius stares you down to the point Remus sits back, an unreadable expression on his face as he knows he can’t prevent whatever his boyfriend will say
“I’m not lying” you insist “If you had just waited…” James cuts you off
“Waited to see you fuck a snake? Ugh no thank you” he almost sings the last bit with a look of disgust 
“My brother of all people” Sirius cuts in, his voice demanding “Why…just why?”
“I love him” you answer honestly as lies wouldn’t save you, besides you were done pretending
Their expressions freeze 
Peter and Remus looking taken aback and in thought, clearly processing, James just skips everything and goes straight to an almost sympathetic disgust, and Sirius just goes straight to angry, standing up and pointing
“No” he shakes his head “You don’t” he tells you “You don’t” he repeats harder
You felt tears prick your eyes but you hold it, trying to stay strong. You were the happy one, no one had ever seen you really cry and if they did it was usually due to pain
“But I do” you say weakly but there’s a firmness to it which makes Sirius look at you with pity
His hands grip your shoulders “I grew up with him so you listen to me when I say he is incapable of love. He’s a miserable sod, a grumpy bitter guy that cannot and does not love you” he slows down so the last words sink in
You shake your head “You’re wrong…you’re…you’re wrong” you manage to get out, voice breaking and it makes the boys wince
“I’m not, I wish I was but I’m not. You can’t see him anymore, he’s just using you to get to me. He doesn’t love you y/n, you mean nothing to…”
“Stop it!” you shout, pushing him away
They flinch at your tone “Y/n” Sirius tries to reach out but you step backwards
“No!” you let the tears fall not caring anymore “I love him and he loves me. You are all just too caught up in your own ideals and hate of Slytherins to notice how good a person he is”
“He’s a purist!” James exclaims “He called Lily a mudblood in his first year”
“Yeah James in first year! When he was 11 and scared, scared because guess who was also in that corridor? Malfoy, a 6ft platinum giant with a cane up his arse that won’t quit. Merlin of course he did because what was the alternative?”
“Not doing that! I didn’t stoop that low at his age” Sirius crosses his arms
“Yeah because you gotta come back here…” you gesture to the common room “...and be praised for it. Bet it be fucking different if you had to go down the dungeons like him, sleep a mere few rooms down from someone 6 years older that would have no remorse in beating you up for it”
“You’re being silly” Sirius says, clearly not wanting to listen because if he did then he would be the bad guy here, he knew the guilt that would come from it “You’re trying to justify it because you know he’s no good”
You scrunch up your face, so disappointed in your friends “Maybe you’re no good” is all you say taking the map out of your bag and shoving it into Sirius’ chest before walking quickly up to your dorm, ignoring all of their calls
Tumblr media
The next morning the boys headed down for breakfast, with James and Sirius facing the Slytherin table, eyes fixed on Regulus as he chatted with Barty and Evan. He hadn’t noticed the stares, nor did he know you were currently in a little ball in bed crying and would be for most of the coming days.
James was half watching while Sirius gaze was fixated on his brother, trying to figure out what his endgame was with you. His eyes only tore away when Lily and Alice entered the great hall without you
Regulus noticed too, his normal little glance to see his girlfriend’s smile was now a sad stare at the girls, a stare Sirius noticed but choice to pass off as confusion instead of clear mild concern
Tumblr media
You had managed to drag yourself into the shower today, now wearing the charmed jumper Regulus gifted you that smelt like him, already sniffling and ready to read the saddest, most depressing book in your collection
That was until there was a noise from your window, followed by its opening and your boyfriend tumbling in, hitting the floor with a thump
“Are you okay?” you crawl to the end of the bed
“Yeah yeah I’m fine” he says groaning and definitely not okay by his wincing as he clampers over to the bed, kneeling on the ground in front of you “Are you okay?” he asks a little breathless “I’m sorry for barging quite literally in but it’s been days” 
Your heart flutters and breaks all at once, how could the people you love not see this adorable puppy dog of a man in front of you that literally almost broke all his bones flying up and into your window to check you were okay
“They know” you start to tear up again “They know Reggie” 
His eyebrows knit before the realisation hits, his face morphing to fear briefly before he stands and moves to sit on the bed next to you, engulfing you in his arms
“We’ll be fine” he assures you both “No matter what”
Your hands clutch to his robes, not caring that he is freezing from the cold morning air “I know” you nod into his chest
He gently pulls your face back, cupping it as he wipes the tears “And you know I love you right?” his own eyes are glassy, both of you knowing that things were gonna be a little bit harder from now on but you wouldn’t let them win 
“I love you too” you return it softly
He gives you a small smile before leaning in to kiss you, lips salty from your tears but neither of you care. Unfortunately, the moment is cut short when your door opens, banging against the wall as it does and making you jump apart
Regulus’ face hardens, turning off the emotions switch he had developed in order to survive
“Hands off her” Sirius points at his brother
“Love” Remus tries to pull him back, the only one seeing the scene for what it was
Sirius shrugs out of his grip “No” he stares you and Regulus down “You are going to leave and never see her again, I’m not going to let you use one of my best friends to get back at me”
“Like hell I am” Regulus wraps his arm around you, feeling you nuzzle your head into his chest, fresh tears soaking through his shirt 
“Regulus” 
“Sirius” he returns his brother's angered tone threefold “I am not leaving when she’s upset. If anyone should leave it’s you, you made her cry” 
Remus, James and Peters expressions soften at that but Sirius doesn’t let up 
“I’m not leaving until you leave”
“Fine then I guess you better get comfy” his other arm comes around, cupping the back of your head in a soothing motion before he whispers reassurances to you
“I’m…” Sirius stops himself as he watches his brothers’ actions “…Why?” is all he can say
Regulus holds you close, peering up at his brother “Why what?” he knew what he was asking, he just didn’t know how to answer it just yet
“Why her? Of all people Regulus why one of my best friends” 
“You can’t control who you fall in love with” he says, looking down at you
You raise your head, letting him plant a kiss you’re your forehead before you burying yourself back into his embrace
“You can’t love” Sirius shakes his head, tears forming “You can’t because you never loved me…you never showed any emotion after I left for Hogwarts” 
Everyone’s heart broke, the cracks in his voice, Remus having to take James’ hand to stop himself from hugging his partner while Peter rubs his back
“I do love you” Regulus’ hard expression finally breaks “I never stopped”
“Why didn’t you come with me then? When I cried, poured my heart out while I was still bleeding…you closed the door in my face” 
Regulus winces at that, you don’t have to see him to know. You kiss his chest, hugging him tighter as you knew how much he hated himself for that, how much he wanted to go back…how he had also packed a bag but by that time Sirius had already left and it was too late
“I wanted to, I was just scared” he confesses “When you got sorted into Gryffindor mum and dad were so mad they spent every waking moment conditioning me to…” he makes little bunny ears with his fingers “…not make the same mistake you did”
Sirius moves to sit at the end of your bed, signalling the other boys can stay when they attempt to back out
“They hurt me too when I asked why it was a bad thing, eventually after talking with Evan he told me that the best thing to do is to pretend. Have a switch you can turn off and just feel nothing…and for a while I did that, to the point I was just existing” 
He caresses your hair before looking back at his brother
“Then one day I was in the library and y/n came along, sitting next to me like it was nothing” he lets out a small chuckle “Talking my ear off about some kind of plant and how it was so cool…”
“It was cool” you mutter earning small chuckles from the room, James and Peter moving to sit on the bed next to yours while Remus sits behind Sirius, placing a kiss to his shoulder
“Sorry what I meant was she was telling me about this super awesome…ouch love” he groans as you pinch him “Anyway” he turns back to his brother who is watching him curiously, a lips tugging upwards as he observed yours and his interactions “After a few weeks I finally spoke back, realising she wasn’t a…ploy from you” he winces “She helped me. That switch that had been stuck off was finally on again when she’s nearby” 
You shift away from his chest, still leaning on his shoulder but you could see your friends again
He looks down at you “She helped my live again, smile again” he says, doing just that “I love her and I love you. I never meant to hurt you Siri” he turns back to his brother, seeing the surprise yet comfort the old nickname from their youth brought as it slips out
“I never wanted to hurt you either” he nods, blinking the tears from his eyes “I love you too Reg”
“Fucks sake hug!” James says sniffling with Peter tissues in their hands “Please you're killing us” he waves for them to embrace, this tissue causing him to resemble one of those mothers from period books
You and Remus giggle, moving away from your significant others to the middle of the bed. You intertwined your hand with his while he wrapped his other around you, both watching as the brothers hug for the first time in 7 years
“We always joked about being siblings but in a few years that might actually be true” Remus whispers to you
“We always were overachievers” you whisper back, giggling together while James seems to cry harder…and they call Remus the mum of the group

Navigation | Sirius Black Masterlist 
Tumblr media
You fiddled nervously with your quill as you awaited his arrival, eyes continually flicking to the corner whenever someone passed by. You figured he would be late, although there was a part of you that hoped he would blow it off. Talking had never been your strong suit, it took you a while before you could openly talk to someone, it was almost like a little door into the real you that very few people got to go through.
Your Herbology professor had told you that if you tutored Sirius you wouldn’t have to do the oral presentation. It was like picking between two of your biggest fears, public speaking and one to one conversation, oh and sprinkle on top your ‘student’ being the polar opposite of you, talkative, popular, seen, while you were the invisible girl that people sometimes wondered was mute
Of course, it was clear what you picked, Sirius didn’t seem all bad. Yes, he was a flirt, someone that enjoyed kissing and sex, but there was nothing wrong with that. What you had admired about him was how he defended the people he had one night stands with, looked out for them and didn’t let anyone call them rude things. He was a gentleman, a prick when it came to pranks and Slytherins, but you figured that was routed in his family, and his loyalty to James, since that boy was clearly jealous of Snape for the longest time. All of these things made you develop a crush on the boy from afar, but he had no idea who you are
You were an observer, you liked it in ways, you knew about everyone and had the privilege of seeing both sides of the coin. But alas you were lonely, your dorm mates didn’t really speak to you since you weren’t into parties like them, of course they didn’t know that you did like parties to an extent, just not when they abandoned you with strangers or forced you to get drunk saying it will ‘loosen you up’ or ‘give you more confidence’.
Over the years, despite wishing for a voice and to be ‘normal’ you realised that those people that talk all the time, really don’t have anything interesting to say, while you could say one line and floor them if you wanted. Quality over quantity, not about how much you say but what you say the really matters
“Hi”
You were pulled out of your thoughts to see Sirius smiling down at you, eyes looking directly into yours which you hold for all of two seconds before your eyes return to the table
He grins at your reaction, this is going to be fun, he thinks as he takes a seat across from you. He says quiet for a minute, judging whether you will start off the conversation or not. He quickly figures from your fiddling hands and avoidance of his eyes that you wouldn’t be speaking any time soon
“So” he extends the syllables making you look up at him with the sweetest eyes “What are we going to go over first cutie” he says a little flirty revelling in how your eyes widen at the petname
Your mouth opens and closes a few times before you grab the book in front of you and open it up “Umm” you shuffle your chair around toward him but you can’t wait drag it on the carpet so Sirius stands and lifts his to sit next to you
Your breath hitches that he’s so close “Hi” he greets you again, a grin on his face that tells you he’s amused by the little squeak that left your mouth
“Hi” you say in the quietest voice, eyes lingering on him before you gesture to the page “I was thinking we could start with some revision” you say waiting for him to speak but he’s just listening so you continue “So we can make sure the foundations good, because if the foundations iffy then your…” fucked? You can’t say fucked…what’s another word for fucked…
“Fucked” Sirius jokes making you stare at him, did you hear…did I say that out loud? “Sorry I forget not everyone likes swearing” he apologies with a chuckle, but you can tell he’s not really sorry
You open your mouth to say no you really didn’t mind but instead you return to the book “Aconite” you say rather randomly
“Aconite” Sirius repeats in a charmed tone, merlin you must have been the shyest person he’s ever met
“Yeah, we can start with that and it has other names like…” you try to add inflection to the end turning to him and awkwardly creeping your hand over the answers on the book, an action Sirius thinks is utterly adorable
“Wolfsbane and Monk…” his eyebrows knit “Monk…” he looks at you for help
“Monkshood” 
“Monkshood” he smiles at you in a way that makes your little heart jump around
You avert your eyes pulling the book towards you, flicking the page and covering the diagram, as you look back up he looks amused “Did you see it?” you cringe
He nods “I did but please continue doing that it’s so cute” he comments making your eyes go wide “So cute” he repeats smiling at you
You had never felt more flustered in your whole life, only time that rivalled it was when you were paired with Marlene and Dorca the previous year and both were flirting with you, calling you honey and sweetie pie exclusively…come to think of it you weren’t even sure they knew your real name.
After a few minutes of trying to compose yourself you pull out a bunch of cards from a small bag “These…” you pick the top one up “…will help if you like that method of learning” you say with a small smile
Sirius looks at them, taking it from you, but making sure to brush his fingers over yours, smiling as you let out another tiny hum and bite your lip
“What are these?” he asks softly, lace of confusion across his face
He’s so pretty it hurts, he’s gonna kill me isn’t he, you think then you watch him lick his lips, yup I can already feel myself entering the afterlife
“They are flashcards” that doesn’t jog anything in him making you wonder if only muggles used this technique “One side has a question, like this one is which plants leaves can cause fits of laughter and/or hysteria?” 
He looks at you a little lost “Guess” you say gently
He shrugs “I don’t know it” he confesses “Sorry cutie” 
You bite your lip “You can still guess, I mean what’s the worst that could happen? In an exam if you write nothing you get zero anyway but if you guess there is a small chance you are right” 
Sirius head tilts, nodding lightly 
“Try not thinking of the answer, try deduction, like what plants do you know don’t cause that effect? From there you can bring it down to a one in four or even one in two chance, better odds” you smile at him
He smiles back, if he was being honest he was just looking to flirt with you the whole session. Yes, he was so going to do that because you were the cutest person alive in his eyes but maybe he could actually learn something too. Everything made sense when you said it and there was the added bonus of your serene voice and temper which he just knew he’d never get enough of
“Okay…it can’t be Lovage because that’s used in potions like the draughts for confusing people, right?” you press your lips together, a small smile on your face as you stay quiet “I’ll assume I’m right cutie” he winks and your cheeks rise, closing your eyes for a second 
She needs to be protected at all costs, he thinks as he resists the urge to wrap an arm around you, not wanting to make you feel uncomfortable…or perhaps cause you to combust
“Can’t be Asphodel cause that’s like a Lily…I don’t think I need to expand on why I know that” he says and you let out a tiny giggle “Not moly, bouncing blub is funny to look at and it does have tiny leaves” he bobs his head “There’s Alihotsy…Slughorn used that in a memory potion but…oh” his eyes widen “It’s it Alihotsy? I remember moony saying we should steal some for…reasons” he smirks
You giggle again, the sound warming his heart “Flip over the card and see”
He does at you say, subtly beaming that he got it right but trying to stay cool “You’re a good tutor” he compliments
You smile but shake your head “It’s just one question. I think you know more than you are…aware of” you say as if you aren’t sure how to word it
“I’m assuming they told you my score. I would say I know nothing as that’s what was going through my mind at the time…well actually I was imagining how to pull of this prank” he says smiling before realising he went a little off topic
“I know your score but in class, week to week, you do well on assignments, right?” you ask
He nods not sure where you are going with it
“Well I think you naturally are good at it, it’s more…like when you go to revise to you read it and go I know this, I remember doing this. But then weeks later at the mock exam you saw the same thing, remembered the word but couldn’t recall any information” you wonder
Sirius was a little surprised you got it, he’ll be honest the amount of people who have tried to tutor him was a lot, his friends, Lily, Marlene, couple one night stands he ended up having because he wasn’t learning so he decided to just have fun instead. He wondered if you had noticed him in class, sure mr popular but really watched him. He hadn’t noticed you beyond seeing you in class from time to time and yet you understood him. 
“You’re a smart cookie” he notes nodding 
Smiling you continue “I think the problem lies with you not forcibly recalling the information often, most people try to learn from scratch again but that’s when you get bored, because…”
“...you’ve already read this before” he finishes and you nod
“Really you just need a method like these flashcards, simple questions that add up to create the knowledge you’ll need in the final exam. So, these…” you flick through them “…are colour coded into 5 sections…now there are 7 weeks till the exam so a section per week, a revision week and then one last week for mock papers” you say to yourself but he is listening closely “Does that sound alright?” you check
“Seven weeks of you sounds like heaven” he wiggles his eyebrows
You shrink into yourself a little but not as much as you did at the beginning, Sirius had a nice vibe around him. Either way it was going to be an interesting 7 weeks
Tumblr media
Week 1
Tumblr media
He decided to meet you every day just before dinner for an hour session, more than the professor suggested but you couldn’t say no, not to his big grey eyes. His flirting never stopped, ever opportunity he decided to slip something in
“Mistletoe, you know I’m a practical learner cutie…perhaps we could find some and you could show me” 
“You look pretty today little genius”
“You’re such a smart cookie, I could just eat...you...up” 
The comments made your heart flutter but he did listen to you, learn from you and by the end of the week he was a whiz at the first topic
“Well done you got 18 out of 21” you smile at him “That’s an O”
He smiles back looking proud of himself “Couldn’t have done it without you cutie” he says placing his hand on your shoulder and giving it a small shake
You were slowly getting used to the touches, you tensed up but you liked them just didn’t know how to tell Sirius yet. Although the boy didn’t seem phased by it, just gave you a small smile as if to say sorry before retracting his hand. He was a naturally touchy person and you were a natural hermit who ironically loved physical touch
“Thanks Sirius” you accept the compliment before flicking to the next sections of notes “So next week we will be doing these flash cards but on Friday you’ll do both next week’s set and the ones we did this week”
“Sounds good” he grins at you, eyes flicking over your face as you turn back to the cards “So are up to anything interesting this weekend?” he inquires
You turn and blink at him, oh no the dreaded moment…small talk. You were fine with talking about Herbology, you knew about that, you were confident in it, but real-life conversation? Not so much, even if you wanted to talk to him more than anything
“Nothing really” you shake your head lightly, shying away from him
Sirius watches you carefully, to most people it looked like you weren’t interested in the slightest, but you were lucky he went through this with a certain moon back in first year
“Nothing can be the best way to spend time” he says sweetly and his heart warms at the way your lips tug upward whilst packing your belongings
Tumblr media
Week 2
Tumblr media
Sirius struggled with the flashcards for the first two days and it hurt to see him so low
“I got 5, 5 out of 27” he sulks, letting his forehead fall to the desk groaning
You reach out to rub his back but stop yourself “Maybe we should try a different approach” you suggest
He turns his head on the table peering up at you with the cutest eyes that sort of reminded you of your neighbour’s dog. His lips forming the smallest of smiles as he looks at you, she’s beautiful from every angle
“This topic is rather…dull” you admit, you gave him the easiest one last week but this week was the hardest, mostly because it was dry, a lot of reading and more theory that actually plants
He nods his head lifting his face which earns a giggle from you as the parchment sticks to it on the way up “Oh” he pulls it off and sets it on the table, smiling to himself as he does “It is dull, dare say as dull as Mr Binns” he complains and he sees you pout “You aren’t boring though, just the subject matter” he assures you, hand squeezing yours, taking note that you didn’t tense up at his touch as he pulls back
“Maybe you need some…” you think for a moment “… incentive” your shoulders raise 
His soft smile melts into a cheeky smirk “What kind of incentive?” he raises one eyebrow leaning a little closer to you as he says it
You felt heat creep to your cheeks, you were sure he could feel the it radiating from you “Umm…”
Sirius should have felt a little bad but he couldn’t resist, your reactions were so cute he wanted to kiss you all over…maybe one day you’d let him
“Pads!” you were thankful for James’ interruption as it gave you the time you needed to compose yourself
Sirius turns from you to his friend smiling “Need something?” he asks as James approaches and helps himself to a seat
“Oh no, I was just coming to say hi” James shrugs smiling away, eventually turning to you “Hey” he greets
“Hi” you half whisper almost like you mouth the word
James tilts his head a little amused before looking at Sirius to find him watching you with eyes he knew all too well…dubbed Lily eyes by Remus
“How’s the study going? He being a good boy?” James asks with a grin that tells you he knows something you don’t, something that makes Sirius…blush?
The dusting of pink on his cheeks not going unnoticed by his friend “It’s going” Sirius says “Little harder today but in general really well” he answers honestly, not wanting to bite back with a snarky remark in front you, but James can bet his sweet dear arse he’s in for it later
“Colour me impressed” James says looking at you “You must be the only person he’s ever listened too” 
Oh yeah James was going to be fed to Remus tonight…
“Speaking of, we were in the middle of something” Sirius give him a small glare that only makes his friend chuckle
James puts up his hands “Fine I’ll skedaddle” he says and Sirius looks at him funny
“Marlene” James replies and Sirius nods smiling, it was amazing how much muggle vocabulary Marlene had taught him, although this was one of the few times he actually used a phrase correctly
Once he leaves Sirius turns back to you “So incentive?” he says a lot less flirty than the first time
You nod “Like let’s say you get half of them right then you can have a snack, or a go walk or something, for example I let myself read a chapter of my book” you say
“Why half?” he questions
You let out a small laugh “He doesn’t really test this much, if it is it’s part of a bigger question, besides this stuff doesn’t cross over with the practical exam so it’s not really killing two birds you know?” you explain
He smiles, licking his lips “You really should become a teacher, you’re really good at explaining stuff simply without being condescending…plus everyone would have a crush on you” he adds winking
You just smile looking away, a part of you hoping that means he has a crush on you as you have him. Sirius eventually did get half by the end of the week, treating himself to some sweets from Honeydukes which he happily shared with you. 
Tumblr media
Week 3
Tumblr media
This week was warm and sunny, not the best weather to be hauled up in a library and you could tell Sirius was bored. You had watched him stare out of the window for the last half an hour, dinner would be soon and he hadn’t learnt anything yet so you decided to do something a little bit brave.
“Sirius?” you gain his attention
“Mhm” he hums, turning his head but his eyes linger on the window for a couple of seconds before meeting yours “Sorry” he gives you an apologetic look, he really did want to pay attention but it was hard
You begin packing up your stuff and he panics “Hey I’ll listen, promise” he says worried with big sad eyes that were so out of character for him
You smile “Pack up and follow me” is all you say before moving to place your quills and books in your bag
Sirius looks at you for a minute then does as you say, quietly following you through the castle and out into the castle grounds. You pass by plenty of sunbathing students, groups of friends in circles and quite a few couples have soft core porn sessions on the grass. Eventually you lead him to a quieter area, approaching a picnic bench hidden from view by high bushes, but gave a beautiful view of black lake along with some shelter from the sun thanks to the overhanging branches from nearby trees
“This place better?” you ask quietly, taking a seat on the bench and beginning to get your stuff out
He nods, taking a moment to let his heart stop fluttering before he speaks “It’s perfect” he says talking a seat beside you instead of across, but keeps a healthy inch between you both
You open up the book, skimming the pages to find where you were at while Sirius observes the way the light hits off your features 
“You’re perfect” he whispers to himself 
Tumblr media
Week 4
Tumblr media
“What you reading?” Sirius asks as he plops himself next to you
You don’t say anything at first just place the bookmark in and hand it to him “It’s called Lord of the Rings…that’s the first book of the triology” you add as he looks over the cover, opening up the first page and admiring the map
“What’s this?” he points to the illustration
You shuffle closer to him “It’s middle earth, where the story takes place” you inform him, legs touching as you point to places on the map explaining the different areas
As you speak he just listens, letting you talk and fill the conversation. Over the last weeks he had noticed you speaking more, adding little bits of info that weren’t needed but you just felt comfortable telling him
“Sorry” he was brought out of his daze to see you looking a little bad about yourself, thinking you were talking too much
He shakes his head “No please continue” your eyes widen “please” he gives you a fond look
A smile spreads across you face “Okay…well the story is about…” you begin explain the general plot to him when his arm wraps around your shoulder
“This okay?” he checks, arm very loose, almost hovering until you nod and he pulls you into him “Why don’t we take our normal break now and you can read me some” he suggests and your eyes light up in a way he wants to see every day for the rest of his life
“Like from the beginning?” you ask
“Sure, as long as you don’t mind starting again” he says whist breathing in the scent of your shampoo
You shake your head happily “I’ve read it all before and I was only on the 4th chapter anyway” your voice is louder than usual although your loud was his normal, making him wonder if you were opening up to him, and that thought led him to kiss your cheek as you began talking again, loving the little waver in your voice as he did
Tumblr media
Week 5
Tumblr media
You tapped on the book in front of you, smiling to yourself as you waited for him. After last week every time Sirius got a lot of questions right instead of a nap or 10-minute wander around the library he asked you to read him a chapter of the book. You loved reading to him, feeling connected to another person and having them really see you, want to listen and not change the subject as soon as you began to geek out
Your crush on his had grown ten times over. He flirted with you still but it had shifted from cheesy lines to those with sentiment and the tone of his voice changed to a softer, caring one.
“Hello” you lift your head to see three people standing in front of you
“Hi” you say meekly, already beginning to shrink into yourself
The girl at the front laughs “Holy shit you can talk” she jokes and her friends laugh “We’re gonna need to you leave little bookworm, you’re taking up the whole table to yourself”
“I…” you start to speak up nothing comes out “I…I…”
“I…I…” the boy on the right mocks you and you feel tears forming “Gonna cry?” he pouts at you
“I’m w-waiting on someone” you finally get out just loud enough for them to hear
They fake surprise “You have a friend” the girl crosses her arms looking at you sceptically "Highly doubt it who would want to be friends with you"
You could feel the tears about to fall when you heard the voice of someone that made your heart leap “Sorry I’m late…Prongs wanted to get Lily flowers but got trapped in the vines of another plant then Moony and Wormtail tried to cut them out but Wormy got stuck and Moony lost the knifes to the vines…it was a clusterfuck to put it mildly” he rambles sitting down next to you, so caught up in his story and rush to notice the three who now wore real puzzlement on their face s
 “Anyway…” He kisses your temple “I’m here now” he smiles finally looking at you and tilting his head, smile dropping as it's replaced with a look of worry “What happened?”
You open your mouth but nothing comes out, eyes flicking to the group of people Sirius still hadn’t noticed as his focus was and is on you. His heart aches and is only pulled from you by a cough making him turn and see the three standing there
“Hello” he says lowly, no humour or emotion in his voice, eyeing all three
The two boys gulp while the girl seems to keep hold of her fear “Hi” she chirps pretending like she wasn’t blatantly bullying you two seconds ago “We were just looking for a seat but it seems this is taken” she explains but Sirius sees right through her
“Well I suggest…” he wraps his arm around you, feeling you bury your head into the side of his chest in attempt to hide as he can feel the hot tears through his shirt “…you three continue looking. Far from here” he says the last sentence slowly keeping intense eye contact with the girl 
They nod, quickly walking away and he turns to you, heart breaking as he shifts away to see your pout and tear stained cheeks. Lifting one leg over the bench of the picnic table to straddle it, he pulls you forward and onto his lap, letting you cry into him as he holds you
“It’s alright” he kisses the side of your head
You sniffle “I’m sorry” you apologise feeling silly for crying over nothing
His hands find your cheeks pulling you back from his neck to face him “Don’t you dare be sorry” he says firmly, wiping the tears with his thumbs “They’re arseholes and they are going to get the full marauders treatment” he assures you, kissing your nose “They don’t get to make you cry okay, they ever bother you…actually make that if anyone bothers you, you tell me and I’ll beat their arse” he promises
You giggle at him, he was like your every own protector “I’ll tell you”
“Good” he smiles “Now I suggest since I am an amazing herbologist at this point that we ditch the study session just this once and read” he suggests
You look over the books then back to him “That would be really nice” 
He grins kissing your cheek before sliding you back down onto the bench and packing up all your books except Lord of the Rings
“Come on” his fingers curl as he holds out his hand gesturing for you to follow but you end up taking his hand in yours, surprising him but it’s a welcome one. One that makes him pull you closer for another kiss to the head before he carries your stuff over to the incline of the hill nearby.
“Hold up darlin” he stops you from sitting down
You smiled at the new petname, sure you liked cutie, smart cookie etc but this one felt more…intimate. Especially watching him take out his robes and lay them on the grass, making sure your robes and stuff didn’t touch the ground before he sat down and hithered for you to join him
“Can I?” you reach out for the book but he shakes his head
“This day is about you so I will read…but be warned if something crazy happens plot wise I will freak out…and maybe add swears in but I can…”
“I think a fuck or two from Gandalf would be the only thing missing from one of the greatest books ever written” you gently interrupt him
He wears the biggest smile “Before I start can you do one little thing for me?”
“Anything”
“Say fuck again”
Tumblr media
Week 6
Tumblr media
For the first time you were running late having gone to the library thinking it was too chilly only to wait and then realise Sirius had probably still gone to the picnic table
“Hi” greet you reach the table, slipping in next to him but as he turned to you he didn’t look happy, he looked somewhere between annoyed and worried “I’m so sorry I’m late I went to the library and…”
“I’m not mad” his upset mood lifted for a moment as he kisses your forehead “I’m not mad at you…I’m assuming you haven’t heard” he says
You shake your head “Heard what?” you wonder with worry lines spreading across your face
“They moved the exam forward to next week, something about the Divination professor not wanting their exam on Friday the 13th so they swapped the dates” he says dejected
“Oh” you hadn’t heard but you knew how this could shake him, you were about to speak when his head fell into his hands, looking stressed as his fingers griped at the roots of his hair “Sirius?”
“I can’t fail” he shakes his head “Y/n what I’m I going to do I’ve lost a whole week” he turns to you
Never had you seen him so anxious, so panicked, he was always laid back, maybe a tad worried but never looking like he was ready to break down “You won’t fail, yes we’ve lost a week but we still have one too” you assure him 
His face softens but the nerves remain “I know but…” he trails off closing his eyes
You shift closer, hand finding his knee “You can tell me anything, who’d I tell” you make a little joke and he lets out a singular chuckle
“I need to pass or I can’t become an auror, a fail will screw it all up” he confesses, his hands cupping yours, thumbs running over your fingers “I can’t…screw this up” he says looking down at your hand
“Why is being an auror important to you?” you ask softly, trying to help him remember why he’s doing this, what motivates him, but really, first and most importantly, you were trying to support him
He looks up, meeting your eyes “I want to help people…protect people, protect kids from people like my parents, my dad” he looks so vulnerable, his grip on your hand just that little bit tighter
“Like your parents?” you tilt your head, you knew some things about the Black family but you never wanted to pry
He sighs “He…hit me” he says quietly and you felt your heart break in two “That’s one of the reasons I ran away, the night I showed up at James’ I had two cracked ribs and so many bruises. He threw me down the stairs, even threw a bottle of firewhisky at me once…I hate him” he looks down as he says the last part “Only James knows it happened, and now you” he looks back up
You slip your hand out of his grip, opening your arms and he falls into them without a second thought “Thank you for trusting me” you whisper kissing his hair “You’re really brave” you say with the upmost sentiment
“I’m not…I left my little brother” he shakes his head, head shifting to look up at you
You kiss his forehead, seeing him close his eyes as your lips touch his skin “You had to do what was right for you, there’s no shame in that” you give him a small smile “And…it’s never too late, to make amends or to do anything” 
He smiles at you, lifting his head up to face you properly “You’re…you’re a wonderful person” he complements, lifting your hand up and kissing your knuckles
Tumblr media
Week 7
Tumblr media
You let your legs swing from the wall you were seated on, waiting for Sirius to come out. You finished quite early, you were the herbology whiz after all. As you waited you saw Remus come out around 5 minutes after you and sit a little further down the wall
He gave you a kind smile “Thank you” he says as more people begin to come out gathering in little groups just down from the two of you
“For what?” you ask a little confused
He just smiles “For helping him achieve the things I always knew he could” he says simply before turning to greet Peter as he comes out looking happy with himself as he gushes about the exam to Remus
You smile as well, continuing to as you see James come out, followed by a few others until eventually your Sirius…well he wasn’t yours but he sure felt like it as he looked around a bit before zoning in on you, walking straight by his friends, including James’ awkward open arms
“I think you’ve been replaced” Remus whispers to James who huffs “I’ll give you one though” he offers to which James shrugs and pulls him in
While they hug and James soon pulls Peter in to join them, Sirius sits next to you on the wall
“What you get for question 5?” he asks and you let out a giggle
“Nice to see you too” you pout in faux annoyance
He chuckles “Sorry darling” he kisses your temple and slithers his arm around your waist “Hi” he greets you properly
“Hi Siri” you chirp back, seeing his eyes flash with something as you try out the nickname
“Call me that again” he smirks
You chew on your lip “Siri” you repeat, your voice timid this time 
He kisses your cheek “You’re so cute and I like that name when you say it” he confesses
“I like darling when you call me it” you admit and he hugs you closer
“So question 5”
You shake your head “Nope” you pop the ‘p’
“Please” he makes puppy eyes 
You shake your head once more “No, discussing answers will only make you more stressed, it’s better to just forget everything about it until you get the mark” 
He looks like he’s trying to think of a way around your logic but ultimately sighs “Fine” he squeezes your waist “I know we’ve finished our sess…” he starts but you’re interrupted by his friends
“Hey Marlene and some others are thinking of sneaking to Hogsmeade to get butterbeers to celebrate finishing our…” James looks in thought
“Second” Remus reminds him
James lightly hits his arm “Second exam and…oh merlin we’re only two in” his eyes widen looking like he went through ten different emotions before shrugging “Anyway, you coming?” he asks and he must notice your awkward shuffle and Sirius’ eyes flicking to you as he adds “That invitation includes you too y/n”
You look at Sirius to find him already smiling at you “You want to?” he asks with a glimmer of hope in his eyes
You nod, watching his eyes light up before he takes your hand in his as you both stand up
“He’s got the Lily eyes again” Remus teases and you look at him funny while Sirius can’t even glare he just goes a little red
James quickly joins in “It’s a song you see…I got those Lily eyes” he starts singing
“Those Lily eyes” Remus begins to harmonise with him
“That tell you that I love you…” James takes Remus in his arms and they begin to waltz around the corridor
“Duh duh duh” Remus hums 
“Dumb dee dee dee…Minnie” they stop in their tracks but don’t decouple as they spot their professor
She seems rather amused but hides it well “Having fun?” she asks and they nod “Between you and me Mr Potter I would refrain from such gestures in the future” she eyes him before letting out a small smile “You may make a certain redhead jealous…although Jamus is a rather fun name to say” she shrugs, beginning to walk away before spotting you 
“Minnie” Sirius winks
“Mr Black” she acknowledges him before turning her attention to you “Miss Y/l/n I had a chat with Albus earlier and as long as you achieve O’s or A’ in all of your exams we would be happy to take you on as a teaching assistant next year” and with that she smiles and heads off
You smile to yourself beginning to follow the other marauders towards their friends but Sirius stops you “Teacher huh?” he grins but it’s a proud one
You nod “A really good person helped me realise I’d make a rather…kick ass teacher” you say with a small giggle
He leans down and kisses your cheek “I know you were complimenting me darling but all I can think about is how adorable it sounds when you swear”
“Fuck” you say quietly 
His smile widens “I love you so much” he didn’t mean to say it, his heart jumped to his throat as he finished but the words flowed out so naturally he didn’t regret it
Your eyes widen but that sparkle he just adored shone bright right before you pulled his face down by his cheeks to kiss him. He stumbles but instantly recovers, his hands finding your hips and pulling you in whilst your lips move in sync, cheekly letts his hand slide lower as the kiss continues.
Eventually you break away hearing two singular but loud ‘whoops’ from James and Remus while the others just smirk at the scene. You shuffle behind Sirius, shying away into his side while he looks them like he’s the happiest man on earth…hell he probably was he just got to kiss the girl of his dreams and not only that but you made the first move!
“Darling?” he looks baffled when he turns back and you aren’t there before lifting up his arm up to see you adorably cowering behind him “Hi”
“Hi” you reply biting your lip
“You know we could ditch them, grab food from the kitchens and have our first date if you want?” he suggests like he hadn’t already set up a romantic picnic for you both that he would have taken you to later if you had said yes to his date
“Really?” you shine at him
He nods “Course, anything for my smart cookie” he leans down and pecks your lips, then your nose, and your cheek and your other cheek…he peppers every inch your whole face
You giggle at his actions “Siri” you whine and he finally stops but not before kissing your lips one last time
“Sorry darlin, always wanted to do that” he confesses taking your hand and turning back to the group “Guys we’re going to do our own thing, we’ll join you next time” he informs them and they all smile
As you and he walk away, missing the exchange of money between people behind you, you realise you haven’t told him something
“Wait” you stop him
“What?” he tilts his head
“I love you too” you say, smiling up at him
His heart was overwhelmed, he figured you loved him, he’d known it was mutual for a long while but the vocal confirmation made this warmth spread across his chest in a way he never knew he needed. 
He squeezes your hand planting a soft lingering kiss to your lips “You want to spend all night eating food and reading our book?”
“Fuck yeah”

Tumblr media
You were sitting on the boys pushed together beds whilst they worked on the floor. James and Sirius on their stomachs with a pillow to protect them as they mapped out one of the new passages they found, while Remus was sitting with his back against the wardobe reading peacefully. It was rather funny, even as professors they were still updating that map of theirs
“Moons my darling, what was the scale again…1m to 10cm or 20cm?” Sirius asks in a voice you all knew meant, 'I’m pretty sure I did it wrong but I’m hoping there’s a 10% chance I didn’t'
“Nah it was 20mm wasn’t it?” James says with confidence, the two boys looking over at him while you watch subtly from the bed
Remus was quiet for a second too long and you all knew Sirius had messed up
“It was 1cm puppy” he says sweetly while you giggle quietly but not quiet enough as his wolf hearing picks it up, causing the boy to grin
Sirius’ cheeks go red muttering a quiet 'fuck' as he peers down at the drawing, realising that was why it looked so weird. James does the same before nudging Sirius and taking the map from him, beginning to restart the entire thing while the raven-haired boy sulks rather cutely beside him, cheeks mushed together in his hands
Soon Remus goes back to his reading and Sirius shuffles closer to James, snuggling into his side, the sight leaving you feeling a little…needy? Maybe that wasn’t the right word perhaps a little touch or attention starved for lack of a better phrase
They were all so excited about the new passage it left little time for your usual cuddles lately. You tried to catch their eye a few times by brushing your hand with theirs or forgetting your cardigan so when they visited the library they would hug you to warm you up. They didn’t seem to get the hint though and you now had at least one jumper or cardigan charmed to your size from each of them...not that you were complaining but still, a girl needs her cuddles
Problem was you were way too shy to ask them, even now, so you brought your legs up to your chest and hugged yourself instead
Remus glances back at that moment to check on you since you had been, funnily enough, quieter than normal. He presses his lips together in almost a pout as he observes you, head resting between your knees as you stared at James and Sirius with a look he could only describe as forlorn
You don’t seem to notice him slipping the bookmark you gifted him into his book, nor him getting up to put his book on the nightstand
“Hey bunny” he whispers, sliding in behind you, arms snaking around your sides
You instantly melt under his touch, hands loosening around your knees as you fall into him
“Hi” you bite your lip, trying to hold back your smile
He shifts on the bed, dragging one leg around your back so he can pull you closer, letting you settle between his legs
“You okay?” he nuzzles his nose into the hair just behind your ear, his strong yet gentle arms holding you flush against his chest
You hum in response, turning your head so you can nudge your nose into his cheek “I am now” you whisper, not wanting to disturb the other boys nor break yours and Remus’ moment
You can feel his cheeks rise before he plants a sweet kiss to the corner of your eyebrow “What’s wrong bunny?” he asks, face so close you can feel each others breaths
You shy away from him but he brings one hand away from your waist, rough fingers gripping your jaw softly and bringing it back towards him
“Bunny” his voice deepens, a smirk he tries to hide playing on his lips at your bashful expression
After a few moments to compose yourself you take a prolonged breath “I wanted cuddles” you confess shamfully and his smirk breaks free, a fond chuckle escaping his lips as his fingers slide upwards until they cradle your cheek, thumb moving back and forth over the apple in a smoothing motion
“You should have just said bun” he shuffles impossibly closer, eyes flicking to the side briefly to see James still working on the map while Sirius is now in his dog form getting a belly rub from James’ free hand “Cuddles with you are the best” he rubs his nose with yours, adoring the scrunch
“Better than Siri’s?” you ask a little wide eyed, a happy shock flowing through you as Sirius’ padfoot form had such soft fur it was better than any blanket…especially now he was stealing your conditioner 
He licks his lips “Yes, just don’t tell him that” he winks causing you to giggle, the giggles catching the other boys’ attention
“My lips are s…Siri!” you start before you feel a ball of fur jump on you, pushing your back further into Remus’ chest
You turn your head back to face your boyfriend…well dog...and he licks your face, slobbery kisses all over. Remus chuckles at the sight, one hand still wrapped around you while the other takes James' as the boy moves to cuddle into his side
Eventually Sirius settles down, curling up into a ball on your lap, groaning softly as your nails scratch the skin beneath his fur, while James leans forward to kiss your cheek then Remus’ before laying down next to you both, head by your legs so he can see you both
“You’re so pretty” he says a little tired, head kissing Sirius’ snout, cheek squished against the covers
Remus wears a faint blush while you lean back in order to tug your head into Remus’ neck to hide from the compliments, much to James' delight before he closes his eyes and cosies into Sirius
“Better?” Remus whispers not wanting to wake the other two as they quickly slip off
You nod, pulling back to smile gratefully at him “Thank you” you bring your lips to his for a lingering kiss
“Anytime” he gives you one last peck “You want me to move him before your legs go numb or is it worth it?” he wonders, voice so soft you feel yourself becoming one with the mattress
“Worth it…but do you think you could reach our book?” you gesture to the nightstand and he chuckles quietly
“Course bunny”

Your leg bobbed uncontrollably, paranoia seeping through your brain at every small noise you heard, even the wisp of the the wind had hairs standing up. This wasn’t how you pictured your late teens, you expected some drama sure, maybe some minor life threatening when your original plan to run away with your boyfriend was discovered, but a war, becoming an order spy, having to shield your thoughts constantly from the darkest and most powerful wizard of your generation? Yeah…maybe paranoia was an understatement
Currently you were deep down a lane off diagon alley yet you could just about see the orange hue of your boyfriends shop shining down the far end. You checked yours…well actually Sirius’ pocket watch, it was 4 in the morning. Fred was likely not awake yet you hoped the light of your patronus was enough to wake him through the window. 
There was a risk George or Lee may see it, but they wouldn’t connect it to you. Deatheaters were known to be unable to cast them, only exceptions were you, Timothy and your late friend as you highly doubted a man like Snape could do it. On top of that there was no words, no message with it, because Fred would know it was you, just like he always did
“Please come” you whisper, hugging yourself as the winter cold cut straight through your jumper and jacket
You probably should have worn something more, but you loved this jacket, it was cool, Sirius wherever he was now would totally approve. In fact the jacket was his, given to you from when you did run away. Yet less than a year later you would lose him and be forced by Snape and Dumbledore to return to your parents and the dark wanker himself. You would go on to convince them you were only doing as the former told you in order to gain their trust and to do that you had to make it completely believable.
Your parents were typical slytherins, yet even though you pretty much knew most slyhterins were arseholes you were proud to be one. It took a while for people to trust you.
Sirius trusted you the moment you arrived at his door, you’d later understand why as he did the same thing when he was your age. Remus followed his friend's suit and Harry trusted his godfather. 
The Weasleys were cautious and all but Fred remained so, his trust grew quickly much like your crushes, to the point you were a couple by the time your final year began. 
Hermione never trusted you, to the point you and your friends weren’t invited to the DA, even after Fred went off on her for it. You didn’t blame her, nor argued your way in, yet you felt sick that she was probably revealing now about how she was right. How everyone would say you were this monster just like Peter. How Sirius would be so disappointed in you now. How you…
“Hey” 
You dart around, extending your wand
“Just me love” Fred lets out a chuckle
You let out a shaky breath, heartbeat returning to normal 
Lowering your wand you took a second to admire him, he looked the exact same. Same light in his eyes, same goofy smile…same terrible colour scheme…orange and blue fred? What are you an Irn bru can?
Fred may have looked like he was joking, taking things slow and letting you come to him. Yet in reality all he wanted to do was take you in his arms and never let you go. He was constantly worried, to the point that not even George knew he was meeting with you, everyone in the world saw you as a traitor but not him.
“You just gonna drool over my banging physique or are you gonna kiss me?” he gestures to himself
He watches you let out a small laugh at his joke and it kills him. The light in your eyes had almost faded into nothing but a mere sparkle when you looked at him. The girl that was his underground agent back in his last year of hogwarts was now in the major leagues, risking her life more than he or most of the order were, his radio and missions child's play compared to you
Snape had tried to break his heart, told you there could be no loose ends but you refused. Instead you told him everything and offered to obliviate him if he wanted after, giving him the choice. That choice made him love you all the more, he knew remembering was dangerous, but in no world he wanted to forget you, hate you, if not for himself but you as well.  
“You want me to come to you?” he offers and you nod, upper face scrunching like you want to cry but have no tears left to fall, the war had sucked you dry
He wraps his arms around you, nose nudging into your hair. It was greasy and tangled, swept back in a clear attempt to hide it. He didn’t mind. You still smelled like you, the same thing he breathed in every night as he kept your scarf, well his old scarf that you stole, on the pillow you should be sleeping on. It was even charmed to hold your scent, and above all your place until you could return to him
“Hi” you mumble into his jacket, arms clutching onto him like he’s going to disappear
“Hi” he whispers back, holding you that little bit closer before he pulls back
Your hands still cling onto him but your head tilts up so you can see his face, leaning into his hand as it cups your cheek. His eyes flick over your face, lips parted as his thumb glides over your cheek
“What are you doing?” You ask softly, a little shy under his gaze
“Memorising every inch of you….just in case” he answers truthfully, you both knew by now it was likely one or both of you may not make it through this so you savoured every moment like it was the last
He leans in and kisses your forehead. It’s lingering. His heart aching that this was the way it had to be. That everytime he sees you he tries to remember every feature, blemish, indentation, that little hue of colour in your eyes you can only see up close. When you leave it’ll replay in his mind every night, hoping, praying to gordic himself that he won’t be replaying it for the rest of his life and he’ll have a chance to see you once more
You find yourself doing the same, eyes tracing over trying to remember every detail, the slight wrinkles caused by laughter, every freckle that scattered his face, the shine of his hair…
“I love you” are the first words that escape your lips, hands trying to pull him just that little bit closer
He melts, but it’s in a soul crushing way. Your voice is beautiful, the one he heard late at night when he purposefully stayed up too late, his over tired mind finding it easier to imagine you beside him, assuring him his family and friends would make it. That you would make it. Return to him. Start a life together. Grow old together
Fred’s eyes are watery when you meet them “I love you so much” he says earnestly before cupping your face and leaning in to rub his nose against yours “How long do we have?” he whispers
“10 minutes” you give him a sad smile
“How would you like to spend them?” he asks, trying to smile as crying together would a waste
“Hold me”
He manoeuvres backwards, sitting down on a small ledge and gently pulling you onto his lap to hold you. His arms hold you securely, heads tucked into the others necks, your arms wrapped under his arms, clutching his shoulders. The ground is crisp, his arse soon growing numb as do your knees yet neither of you care, all that matters was these few minutes. They would pass slowly and quickly, there would never be enough time, even forever would never be enough
“You think he’ll be proud of me?”
You don’t have to say his name and Fred knows, pulling back to look at you, one hand moving to fiddle with your jacket 
“Yes” he nods firmly “And if he was still here he would be proud to call you his daughter” 
“A few more weeks and I would have been” you look down “I still have the papers hidden under the floorboard” you confess
Fred presses a kiss to your hair line “You could always change your last name to his” he offers and you look back up, nodding with a mournful smile
“Or become a dog” you let out the smallest of laughs
He joins you “You’d make an adorable dog” he nods
“Imagine the mischief” you laugh again, its freer and Fred’ heart swells
“We’d be unstoppable” he chuckles
The giggles soon die down, the cold alley quieting again as you pull a small bit of paper from your pocket. Fred watches you fiddle with it for a second, before you open it up and smile. He can’t see the contents until you turn the paper around, his hand coming up to take it
“You drew this?” he asks as his eyes trace over, instantly recognising himself
You nod, eyes growing glassy again as you talk
“You know Joe used to give me and Tim these stupid sketching lessons back at Hogwarts” you let out a breathy laugh “We’d always fluck them, drawing silly things instead” a tear falls “We found all his scetchbooks after he…” you can’t say it “Me and Tim decided to continue filling the two he had bought for us but never had the chance to…” you look back up at Fred I’ve drawn lots of you, and Sirius…and him from memory” you sniffle “That ones my faviourite” you point to it
Fred stares down at it before looking up again “Why give it to me?” he asks, heart heavy that this was you saying goodbye
“Because then you can give it back to me”
He folds up the drawing, carefully placing it in his inner pocket before bringing your lips to his. The kiss is slow, made up of multiple little kisses with whispered ‘I love yous’ slipping out in between them. 
The kisses last a while, until your both hugging each other close, noses buried in each others neck
“I need to go” you murmur, placing a chaste kiss to his skin
His heart drops but he nods, letting you off of his lap and accepting your hands as you hold them out. Even after he’s stood up his hands never leave yours, neither of you can let go. 
Not just yet
“I’ll see you again” he says, holding your hands tighter, nodding
I’ll see her again
You smile as much as you can, nodding as well “Until the next time”
There will be a next time
“Until next time” he repeats your words, reluctantly letting your hands slip away
You turn away, beginning to walk when you look back, staring for a moment before running backup for one final embrace
“Next time” you whisper before pressing your lips to his
“Next time” he kisses you once more but a little harder, thumbs caressing your face
You kiss him one last time, softly, before parting and walking off quickly, knowing if you look back again or stay you would never leave. 
Fred watches you walk away, taking his heart with him while yours remains here with him. As his hand moves to wipe the tears that fell the moment you turn the corner he feels something sticking out of his jacket pocket
It’s a piece of paper similar to the one you gave him earlier. Opening it the years fall harder, it was a drawing of you while you’re laughing, it’s so beautiful, and in the corner is your writing
Joey drew this the week before he died. I want you to have it. It's been six months since I last saw you. I don’t know how long it will be until we see each other again, if we see each other again, so I want you to remember me like this. Happy.
I love you Freddie
Always
“She’ll come back” he holds it to his chest “She going to come back”
Tumblr media
The next months were hard. In fact hard was an understatement when yourself and Timothy were paired with Greyback and his snatchers. 
During that time you met Ted Tonks once more, a man you respected, yet you couldn’t let him go free and that was a decision that would haunt you and Timothy forever. Greyback was the one that did it, something that was so cruel, so horrific it was beyond words. He waited until the full moon, set Ted free and hunted him like it was a sport. Bellatrix arrived the following morning but only to cackle over his body while you and timothy watched
You saw many things that made you lose faith at times. Timothy was always there though, and although Joey was gone you had his drawings, even the ones which held old conversations from potions. You would talk to them sometimes, perhaps it was on set insanity but it helped.
It kept you going
Now you were back at Hogwarts, shaky hands as you waited for Snape to give you both instructions that weren’t a vague be within the castle walls as soon as you can
“Where have you been?” You ask a little on edge Tim as he enters your old common room “Oh no what?” you notice his face
“It’s happening, Harry’s here and the order has arrived too” he replies, looking beyond nervous "I think they've taken over the great hall but I didn't stick around to check"
You nod slowly taking a few breaths, heart racing that Fred was so close “Guess that’s why he wanted us here” you take a seat on your old spot on the couches and Timothy joins you, leaving a space in the middle for where Joey once sat
You both look at the empty space and then each other
“He should be here” he whispers
“Yeah” you nod “Though if he was he’d tell you that shirt looks terrible” you can’t stop the giggle
He scoffs “Well fuck you too” he starts chuckling too, looking down “Salazar it is terrible isn't it…why'dyou let me wear this?” he shakes his head
“You didn’t wash any others” you shrug
“Can you transfigure it?” he pleas “I can’t die in this”
You let out a shocked laugh “I can’t believe you just said that!” 
“What it’s true! Doesn’t matter if both sides are gonna try and kill us, when they see this monstrosity they’ll be like let’s kill the wanker in the shit coloured shirt”
You giggle at him but then your face falls a little “You aren’t going to die…we’ll make it out” you say, looking serious before you crack a smile “Cause Joe will never let us live it down if we die”
“Yeah" he laughs "He’d rip the pish out of us the moment we got there, wherever there is”
“And say that shirt is a crime against fashion” you giggle, taking your wand and muttering some spells to change the shirts colour
“Better?”
“Much thanks” his fingers fiddle with the soft green material “Matches my eyes…well one of them” 
“I’m not making the other half blue Tim. Then you would look like a right wanker”  
You both chuckle for a little while. Enjoying the small bit of normal you always found in each other. That was until you spot a bright light out of the common room window. Standing, you both make your way over, watching the light stretch down through the water to the bed below
“It’s weirdly beautiful” Timothy notes watching the shimmer
You hum in agreement “I know it’s always been real. The war I mean. But now it feels…”
“Really real” Timothy takes your hand “Like it’s the beginning of the end”
"Yeah" you squeeze his hand before looking up at him “Just hope it’s the end we hope for”
“It will be” he stares out of the window for a second and takes a deep breath, then he turns to you “Love you” he gives you the best smile he can muster
“Me too” you nod
“You love yourself?” he teases earning a playful hit
“Arsehole”
Tumblr media
Fred made his way up the stairs, following Remus, Tonks, and the elder of his family, George walked beside him but it was quiet. Air feeling so thick it was almost suffocating. Everyone he loved was here except you, he had no idea where you were. Where are you in the castle? Outside the barrier? Worse?
“You alright?” his twin whispers as they get to the top
He wants to say no, I’m not okay, I have no idea if the love of my life is alright, but he can't, instead he lies
“Yeah…you?” he asks, walking outside towards the balcony of the tower
“Yeah” George gives a firm nod, hands finding the wall “Nice view”
“Seen better” that makes George chuckle
They watch the spells hit the barrier. It was beautiful in its own way, like the calm before a storm, yet the storm is always inevitable and rips away everything
But you can only hope its not everything
Georges drift to the side “Looks like someones trying to cheer us up” he chuckles drawing Fred’s attention
“Wha…” he starts to ask when he sees it, a patronus, your patronus
He smiles
“Kinda looks like Sirius’ in his dog form” George notes “Think it’s Remus’ they were thing once weren't they?” 
“Could be” Fred shrugs “I’ll go see, be back in a jiff” Fred pats his twins shoulder as he passes, walking towards the dancing light, following the dog as it patters back into the tower and down one flight of stairs, eventually disappearing behind a tapestry
His heart does a little skip wanting nothing more than to run in but he holds himself back, glancing around to check no one can see him before he enters slowly
“Love?” he whispers looking around until his eyes fall on you, leaning on the small window as you stared out “Love” he repeats a little louder
That gains your attention and you waste no time making your way over to him “Hi” you greet, trying to stop your hands from shaking
Fred takes them in his “Hi” he says, thumbs smoothing over your knuckles 
“I love you so much” you can’t stop the tears as they were already falling, your hands slipping out of his and cupping his cheeks shocking him a little but then his own chase yours, grasping your wrists
“I love you too” he squeezes them, worry swarming in his stomach at how broken you look “What’s going on? Do they know you're a spy? They get Timothy?” he asks mildly frantic
“No nothing like that they have no idea…although they’ll know soon enough” you assure him before taking a breath
“Then what is it?” he asks softly
“You know when we said no promises? Because life's so unpredictable there's little chance we’ll be able to keep them” he nods “I need you to not to necessarily promise, but tell me you won’t get yourself killed. That we’ll make it out and we’ll get married and have a life together. A beautiful messy, chaotic life together” 
He can feel the tears hitting his hands as he answers “I promise” his own eyes watering 
“We’re so close to the end” you say with a shaky voice “We’ve come too far to lose it all now...I can't...” you take a sharp breath trying to compose yourself
“And we won’t" he wipes your tears and cups your face "When this is over, I'm going to ask you to marry me, and you’ll...hopefully..." you giggle "...say yes, and then we’ll move into a weird and wacky cottage, raise children if we want them and then grow old and grey together”
“Good” you smile at him, nodding as your hands fall from his cheek and wrap around his torso while his slither around you, holding you tight
You held each other for less than a minute but it felt like a small eternity. The first and last promise you would ever make to each other spoken in that little hideaway, and when you parted, watched Fred walk back up the stairs and you headed down to meet Timothy again, you both hoped it wouldn't be broken
Because if it was, neither of you would survive it
Tumblr media
“Tim!” you shout, flicking a spell towards one of Greybacks snatchers
Running down the hall you found yourself near Gryffindor tower once more, yet you couldn’t worry about Fred. You had to find Timothy, Fred had the order looking out for him while you and Timothy only had one another. Everyone was out for you. In fact you had saved Remus from a death eater only to be spotted by Tonks soon after and almost killed whilst trying to slip away
“Tim” you say mostly for yourself, frantically looking around when you see a flash of red hair
Percy
He was fighting death eaters who had forced their way through what must have been one of the not so secret passages. He hadn’t seen you as you continued down the corridor towards him, hoping Timothy was just behind or in front of you.
You couldn’t head back now there were too many looking for you
You movements stopped though when you saw him “Fred” you see him join Percy's side
Of course he’s laughing, you think as you draw closer…then you see it
A death eater pointing his wand towards Percy and Fred through the windows of the corridors. You didn’t think just ran towards them. Percy was a little closer to the impact zone as the spell hit the wall, blowing up the bricks and sending most of it down and towards Fred and you guessed now, yourself
They hadn’t noticed your approach, reactions delayed until Percy was flung backwards and down a flight of stairs when you were a mere metre from Fred
You turned your body towards the falling wall yelling “Retcuto!” the spell vaporising the wall and the impact of which sending you and Fred flying deeper down the corridor, landing next to one another as smaller debris lands almost softly around you
“Fuck” Fred groans, wand still in his hand as he processes what just happened “Percy!” he shoots up, ignoring the sting as he looks to the side, not seeing his brother but you wincing on your side “Y/n…Y/n!” he says the first in shock and the second in alarm scooping you into his arms
Fred ignores the calls of his name from not only Percy but Ron and Harry who seem to have stumbled upon them, the small well of rubble blocking their view. Your eyes open, panting heavy and he thinks you’re going to say something sweet, maybe a cute a hello, but instead you hit him multiple times in the shoulder whilst sitting up as best you can with his help
“You had one job, Weasley!” you scold him, earning a shocked laugh
“We almost die and you’re shouting at me?” 
“Yes, you complete arse” you were laughing now as well hitting him between words while he just chuckled "You promised"
“I know my snake in not so shiny armour” he quips even if his heart hurts that at the idea that without you he would be dead
His joke earns another nudge but then you wince again, face scrunching
“You okay?” his brows knit, smile dropping to concern as his hand moves to your side only to feel some wetness “Merlin” he gasps looking down, realising some of the glass from the window had hit your side
“That isn’t good” you press your hand to the area, feeling the blood seeping out too quickly before looking at him “Freddie I…” the adrenaline was wearing off now, the pain was searing and you were quickly feeling faint “...I feel a little…” you can’t finish but he understands
“Stay with me okay?” he cups your cheek, some bloods smearing across it
“Fred when we call you…answer” Percy starts a little intense and finishes with a whisper “Who?” he can’t quite see your face
“Fred we…” Ron and Harry jog up after throwing a few covering spells “...is that...” Ron trails off
Your head falls into Freds chest, unable to hold yourself up “Y/n love I need to you stay awake” Fred was panicking now, still ignoring his family as tears stream "Please we promised" he whispers kissing your temple when your eyes won't open
“Fred we need to go!” Ron shouts in an almost uncaring manner
“No!” Fred bites back with a tone none of them had ever heard, scaring them “Help me get her somewhere safe”
“Shes a death…”
“One more word and I will never speak to you again” he warns his younger brother while Percy has already moved to help
“If you can carry her I’ll defend you. We can hide behind one of the statues until it dies down enough to go to the great hall, okay?” he says softly, kneeling down
Fred nods, lifting you up with a little help from Percy
“Got her?” he checks and Fred nods
“We’ll help” Harry chips in, earning a thankful look from Fred, a nod from Percy and a baffled look from Ron
“Harry” Ron shakes his head shrugging
“Just come on” Harry doesn’t bother to argue just follows “We’ll talk about it later”
Tumblr media
Fred was in the great hall now, crouching by your small bed on the floor and watching Madam Pomfrey work. His family were slowly making their way in, all in sheer panic for a moment until they see him and Percy who was sitting nearby
“Will she be okay?” he looks hopefully at the nurse when she stands
She nods “Yes, the wound isn’t magical nor was it deep so she will be fine. Normally I wouldn’t say she shouldn’t walk when she wakes up but given the circumstances Mr Weasley if she wants to fight she can” the older women tells him before taking her leave, answering quickly as she simply didn’t have the time
“Freddie!” his head shoots up at his twins voice, clambering to his feet to hug him tightly
“Thank merlin” Fred breaths out, pulling back and cupping his brothers face “Thought I'd lost you in chaos”
“Can’t get rid of me that easily” George chuckles, pulling him in for another hug before Fred parts and bear hugs Ginny, followed by Charlie, Bill, Fleur and his parents, whilst percy does something similar
The reunion however is cut short when Tonks approaches with Remus not long behind her
“Why is she here?” the small group looks towards them, the pink-haired women looking rather upset while the ex professor seemed sad
Remus had regarded you in a similar way to Sirius, even if he had grown disappointed in you since your ‘betrayal’, he still felt sick to his stomach seeing you hurt
“She’s a death eater…she has the mark” Tonks points towards the peaking of black ink under your scrunched sleeve
“Dora” Remus says lowly, looking around as the word must draw attention yet no one is looking their way, instead they're looking at some members of the order pointing their wand at Timothy Greengrass
“Lower your wands there is a brief truce” Kinsley commands to which their wands are reluctantly put away “You try anything and Imean anything, I will not be as understanding” he warns
Timothy nods wearing a thankful smile as he walks deeper into the hall. Eyes searching the room before the fall on Fred, making his way towards him quickly to ask if he had seen you when he sees your body laying there
“No” he whispers to himself, eyes widening and not caring about his knees as he hits the stone floor beside you “What happened?” he looks around but mostly towards Fred looking beyond worried
“She saved me from being hit by the wall but a shard of glass was embedded in her side”
Fred glances at his family, few seemed between sympathetic at Timothy and surprised you saved him, Remus evening wears a tiny twitch of a smile. Yet the ones he wanted to be wore no such thing. His mother and twin’s expressions remained hard, although they did waver a little upon hearing the first half
Timothy's face is still painted with worry “Will she be okay?” he asks, relaxing when Fred nods
“She saved your life?” Bill is the first to speak, most level headed as he wraps his arm around Fleur, holding her close to him
Fred nods “She did” 
“Why?” George asks a little sharpy 
“Because she loves me” Fred answers like it was obvious
Again his elder brothers and Remus seem soft towards it, like they can believe it, his father does as well but he remains neutral due to Molly who scoffs along with Tonks and George. Ginny seems somewhere in between and partially in her own world, her mind most likely preoccupied in worrying about Harry
“No she doesn’t. She broke your heart and ran off to join the death eaters. Since then I have watched you for the last two years mope around over her. She’s a traitor Freddie...please” George pleads like he thinks he doing the right thing but it only makes Fred upset
Fred shakes his head “She isn’t” he says shortly “Neither is Timothy” he adds, earning a grateful smile from the boy as he holds your hand, thumbing circles in it to comfort you but mostly himself
“You’re mad” Tonks states “They’re traitors plain and simple, you’re just blinded by your misplaced affections”
“No” Fred glares at her “They’ve been…” he stops himself, glancing at Timothy who nods, letting him know it's alright to tell everyone now “They’ve been working undercover”
She scoffs along with Molly who seems to only be quiet due to Arthur's hand in hers, while George’ head tilts and the rest of the weasley, plus Remus, listen carefully
“Undercover?” Tonks crosses her arms looking sceptical, while his mothers is closer to disappointment “Didn’t feel that way when their other little friend came after me and your younger brother” 
Timothy grimaces at them mention of his late friend, more so at the question thrown towards him 
“Where is he anyway?” She looks right at him “Almost killed us along with my crazy aunt”
Timothy sighs, heart aching “He…he didn’t make it” he looks away from them and to you
Remus watches the boy carefully, as does Fred’s elder brothers, Fleur and Arthur, all noting the grief and how he holds your hand just that little bit tighter. Tonks however flushes slightly, guilt beginning to swarm her stomach as she thinks back to the blasting spell she sent his way before she and Ron used the port key
“Who knew you were undercover?” Remus asks calmly, recognising something he felt all too well in the boy before him
“Sirius knew we were to gain info in our final year, but when he died Dumbledore and Mad-eye sent me, y/n and…Joe uncover. Our mission was to imbed ourselves along with Snape, feed the order information and when the time came, turn against them”
“You caused the death of my father” Tonks interjects “If you were really on our side why would you…how could you...” she can’t finish, trailing off but the boy understands what she’s asking
“I’m sorry about your father. Truly. It’s something I can never forgive myself for, nor do I even deserve it for playing a role in it, and I’m so, so sorry” he says so genuinely they all believe it, at least on some level “Not that it helps but Greyback…” Remus grimaces at the name “…the one that murdered him, won’t be hurting anyone else ever again”
“He’s dead?” Remus asks, eyes wide and lips parted
“Yes. I checked myself when he fell during mine and y/n’s tussle with him…but then I lost her in the chaos that ensued afterward. The other snatchers in his pack sought revenge ya see” Timothy explains and Remus looks like a weight has been lifted off of him “There’s no proof besides Fred and of course Snape's knowledge with Mad-eye and Dumblerdore dead. But if me and y/n were being honest we have no idea what Snapes mission really is...was? He was always so...cryptic. We had no idea he would kill Dumbledore, nor that we would be forced to fight against you all in the battle of the potters, or work with the snatchers and that monster”
They all nod slowly, taking the information in while George turns to Fred whose now moved to sit beside you once more, taking your other hand and stroking your cheek gently
“You knew the whole time?” he asks and Fred turns to his brother, his whole family and his friends awaiting his answer
“Just after Sirius’ death and before she 'turned', she sat me down. Explained the mission and everything she had been doing at Hogwarts while we were all off playing hero with the DA. After which she offered me a choice. She could obliviate me or I could remember but never tell anyone”
“Do you have any idea how dangerous that was!” his mother finally speaks up “You could have gotten yourself killed!” Arthur wraps his arm around her, rubbing her back to try and soothe her nerves
“I know but I didn’t mum” he answers simply, calmly, a stark contrast to his usual demeanour and it makes his mother listen “I love her, really love her. She’s the bravest person I’ve ever met” he turns to Timothy “As are you, and of course Joey” he turns back to the other while Timothy smiles “They were the ones leaking information, information that saved more than we lost. They risked everything to help us even after Mad-eye died and they were all on their own, merlin they all were forced to get the dark mark…” his eyes trail down to it, fingers glazing it
“She might have been lying” Tonks says but her voice is softer, less angry than she was before
“Maybe but I believe it” Percy states “I believe you” he says meeting Fred’s eyes
“So do I” Remus adds, earning a quizzical look from Nymphadora before she says a quiet ‘Me too’
“Me Three” Bill winks 
“Four” Fleur adds cuddling into her husband
“Five” Charlie says with a nod
“Six” is from Arthur
“Six and a half” Molly grumbles lowly, earning a small chuckle from the small group
“Seven” Ginny smiles
“Eight” George finishes “I believe you” he kneels down next to Fred taking his hand “I always believe you” his head taps his twins
“Thank you” he says mostly to George but then turns to the others "You won't regret it, believing" he smiles and they smile back
Your whine however brings his, and Timothy's attention back, their grips on your hands tightening while the rest of the small crowd step back and sit among themselves, except George who stays by his brothers side and Remus who takes a seat on Timothy's other side
“Y/n love?” Fred calls softly as your eyes flutter open
“Yeah?” your head turns to him, not really aware of your surroundings just yet
“You had one job future Weasley” he scolds lightly and you giggle
“Well if you had done yours I wouldn’t be in this predicament” you clap back before your eyes widen
“What?” Fred asks but your already sitting up way too quickly, side stinging but you couldn’t care less
“Tim! I need to find him” you say trying to stand up when the boy your looking for places his hand on your shoulder stopping you
“I’m here” he assures you “I’m alright, I'm okay” 
You sigh in relief, leaning into him a little bit “I couldn’t lose you too” you breath out
“You didn’t…you haven’t lost either of us sunshine” he gives you a smile and then looks toward Fred
Your boyfriend smiles back at the boy before his focus returns to you “We’re keeping our promise don’t you worry love” his nose nudges into your hair
Timothy lets go of your hand then, letting Freds arms engulf you as your head buries itself into his chest “I love you” your murmur so only Fred can hear
“Love you too” he whispers as he pulls back, digging into his pocket and bringing it out just enough for you to see “I’ve carried it everyday. And when we win I’m going to give it back ask you something very important” he tells you
Your heart flutters “Yes” you whisper to which George, who could totally hear everything, lets out a small smile
“You’re supposed to let me ask first” Fred scrunches his nose at you
“Freddie it’s been a yes since we were 17” you inform him, placing a sweet kiss to his lips
“What’s going on here?” Ron asks approaching with Hermione, both staring at your and Fred as you part
“Y/n’s injured” Remus answers for you
Your head whips around to him, surprised “Hi” you whisper, wincing at the idea of how disappointment he must be in you
“Hey” He gives you a warm smile “He’d be really proud you know…I’m proud” he tells you, eyes a little glassy
You nod, heart warming as you turn back to Fred and Timothy, both helping you stand up as they know there would be no stopping you from continuing the fight 
“I know she’s injured” Ron replies a little mumbly “I mean why is everyone okay with her...and him here” he motions to you and Timothy, Hermion nodding next to him
“Y/n and Timothy have been working as spies little brother” Bill states, the whole clan turning to look at two thirds of the famous trio
Hermione and Ron look at him baffled, and then eye you and Timothy for a second. They have questions, of course they do, a boat load in fact but their was no time for that right now, their were more pressing concerns
“Has anyone seen Harry?” Remus’ face instantly pales “He went up to Dumbledore’s office but he never came back” Hermione asks, looking concerned as her hand finds Rons
“You don’t think he turned himself over do you?” Someone asks, and while everyone looks at each other in a quiet worry all Remus can think is that’s exactly what James would do

Navigation | Remus Lupin Masterlist
Tumblr media
Remus fiddled with his quill, treating the now dry nip like it was a muggle pen, twirling it around in his fingers as he stared hopelessly at his page. He had been on this practice question for a while now, one originally left in hope it would suddenly come to him but it was now sitting there mocking him a mere half an hour later.
“Bu-” he stops himself, letting out a sweet chuckle at the sight before him
You had joined him for a study session just like you always did, and just like always you had fallen asleep during it. Cheek adorably squished up against the crook of your elbow, breathing soft, relaxed
You looked so peaceful. Serene
He envied you a little for being so carefree, feeling so safe you could sleep anywhere. The library, outside against a tree, in class, even the great hall on occasion. Still he smiled, that little bit of jealousy held nothing to love he possessed, never would he thought a slytherin would capture not only his heart but his friends
Yet how could they not, when you were the sweetest girl the world had ever seen? The girl that fell asleep on him anywhere and everywhere, the girl that could sleep as long as he did and with pleasure after full moons, the girl that had his heart entirely, so much that his fears faded away when you were near
He stands up, deciding to take a turn around the library and instead of waking you for help. Before he leaves he presses a kiss to your temple, heart fluttering as your lips tug up and you hum, cuddling into your crossed arm a little more
“Be back soon bun” he whispers like you could hear him, gifting your sleepy figure one last look before he heads down a random row of bookshelves
He doesn’t get far though, someone trips him up from behind, sending him crashing to the floor. Luckily his hands catch him just in time, but the sting in his knees and wrists from the impact do nothing for his already achy bones. 
He groans, wincing as he looks up to see a two people he knew too well, and not for the better 
“Some marauder you are” the girl scoffs “Nothing without your little friends”
“Even the fat one has thicker skin” the boy cackles at his own cruelty and Remus’ blood boils, yet he can’t find it in him to get up, fight back…not that he ever did
“What’s wrong scar face?” the girl mocks him, bending at the hip in order to belittle him further
“Just leave me alone” he closes his eyes for a second, his tone of someone clearly exhausted, dare say broken from the bullying that has been inflicted upon him for 7 years
“And why would we do that? You know for a bookworm you should love the poetic nature of a bully getting bullied” she lets out a laugh at the end
Remus finally pulls himself up, standing shaily as he replies “I’m not a bully” he says firmly, out of his friends the only bullies were Sirius and James, yet even they now had calmed and matured significantly
The girl crosses her arms, looking skeptical while the boy notices him looking backwards “Who are you looking for?” he asks but then his face lights up in a sinister like recognision “Ah. That little snake of a girlfriend” 
Remus jaw clenches at the emphasis “Don’t bring her into this” 
The girl laughs “Oh we won’t. Her dating you is a great joke in itself”
“Merlin every time I’ve seen you together she’s asleep”
“Bore her much?” 
“Or maybe she pretends to sleep so she doesn’t have to look at that face” 
They take turns at their insults, a quick fire of every insecurity he possesses, hitting him again and again, and it takes its toll
“Aww is the freak getting upset” the boy pouts at him
“Shut up” he begs them
“You’re pathetic Lupin, worthless” her words are cruel but her tone his crueller, so harsh Remus can feel it cutting into his heart “A joke of man by how much of a pale…” she stabs his chest with her finger “...sickly…” and again “...monster…” once more “...you are”
Monster 
The last one cuts him deep, like they knew what he was. Really they just meant his appearance but still it hurt more than anything
“She’s a pretty thing ya know. That girl of yours” the boy states, taking a step towards him “Maybe I’ll take a crack at her once she comes to her scenes. Silly girl clearly, but purebloods stick together…besides sillier girls are easier to tame” he says the last part lowly, stepping past him and going on his miserable sod of a way
“Freak” the girl butts her shoulder into him as she passes by as well leaving Remus alone
He should have stood up for himself, punched the guy for his words, merlin he should kill him for what he said about you. But he didn’t, his fists softened, the tears fell, and he found himself leaning against the bookcases, head tilted upwards as he tried his best not to completely break down
Pathetic. Worthless. Freak.
You would come look for him once you’d woken up, which would be soon since you were funny like that. Even in your sleep you could sense his prolonged absence. 
Monster.
Wiping his tears, he readies himself to pass off the hurt for pre-moon pain. He never thought you low enough to leave him for being weak, yet he would never let you know what just happened, what had been happening since they laid eyes on him in first year
Thankfully when he returns to his spot you’re still asleep. Sitting beside you again, he shrugs off his robes and pulls off his jumper, covering you with the first and placing the second under your head as a pillow
“Thank you Rem” you murmur, arm lazily coming down to hug his thigh, pulling it flush against yours
He felt instantly better at that, the pain from his exchange would remain, the insecurities he already had for himself and from them would linger on, but his heart knew they were just that, insecurities, they weren’t the truth. Besides, in a month he would graduate, he’d never need to see them again, and he’ll get to spend the rest of his life with you
“Anything for you bunny”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were angry, beyond angry actually, you were damn near furious. It had been a week since you’d woken up and overheard your boyfriends bullies in the library, one week you had been gathering information on the two so you could destroy them at the right moment 
And that moment was right now
“Hey!” you shout, startling more than one person, terrifying everyone in that corridor with just one glare
The sleepy girl in class had finally woken up on the wrong side of the bed, the girl who was inherently ‘not slytherin’ would destroy that title in threefold today
“Yeah I’m talking to you two” your eyes narrow in on them while the other students around you relax a little, they weren’t in your sights yet they still stepped back
Your shouts draw the attention of the marauders as well, all glancing up the hall to see what's going on, noting the large crowd
“Wonder what's happening” Peter says, sadly a little too short to see anything
“Probably some girl who caught her partner cheating” Sirius shakes his head with a small laugh “Y’all coming to watch” his face morphs into a smirk, his love of drama entertaining to his friends
“I’m good man enjoy” Remus says with a laugh, bidding Sirius goodbye as he stands with Peter, watching James climb up on a nearby window
“Watch yourself” Peter warns, hands moving to upwards to catch James if he fell
Remus was chuckling at his James’ laziness when he saw his eyes widen, before literally cleaning his glasses to check he was seeing it right. 
Suddenly he jumps down, grabbing Remus by his cardigan and Peter by the wrist
“Prongs what the-” Remus is cut off
“It’s your girl” is all he says letting go of the boys but gently rubs Peters wrist to say sorry if he hurt it
“What?” Remus forcefully stops in his tracks, looking at James wide eyed
“It’s your girl” James points to the crowd, hithering for him to follow
“My girl” Remus looks at the crowd then James “My girl” it dawns on him, following swiftly
Meanwhile the girl and boy whose names you couldn’t give a lesser fuck about were finally bring their attention to you
“What do you what?” the girl glares at you but you see right through it, her eyes give away her fear and in all honesty you’d be scared of you right now too
Sirius arrived just then, mouth dropping in shock and backing up to go get the others when James wraps his arm around him and Remus and Peter appear on his other side. 
Remus felt sick as he saw who you were in a confrontation with, wondering how you knew or if this was all some coincidence, but really, he knew the answer
“Leave him alone” you say scarily calm, a stark contrast to the rage within and your earlier shout 
“Or what? What are you going to do about it sweetheart?” the boy steps forward
He was a little taller than you, and clearly trying to use that to intimidate you whilst simultaneously eying you like a piece of meat. You knew who he was, another arrogant rich pureblood whose name meant everything in his eyes but nothing in the real world. 
You hadn’t seen your boyfriend or friends, all you could see was red and the two arses who dared hurt the sweetest man who ever lived. But if you had seen them, you would have saw James grabbing Sirius’ hand to stop him from punching the boy, while Peter does something similar for your boyfriend
“You know, my father knows your father” you start, watching the confusion take over his face but a few other slytherins including a younger brother of one of the marauders knew where this was going and grinned subtly “Prissy little fellow, strange isn’t it?” you ask almost rhetorically, almost, because you know the idiot will answer 
You stepped towards him then, looking up at him with no fear, and, if anything, amusement
“What's strange?” he plays right into your trap
“Well your mother and father are quite small, even your grandparents are rather short, whole family actually…strange that you’re so tall is all” you muse earning sniggers from the crowd and the boys face falters “But alas your heritage isn’t my point” you smirk, glancing at the girl who looks like she's getting ready to run before your quiet calculated wrath turns towards her
“And your point?” his face hardens again, the fury in his eyes already marking your victory
“My father’s your boss” you state then seei the pure shock on his face “Didn’t know that huh?” you say teasingly
“Even if your father is his boss he can’t fire him based off you running to daddy over some narrative you’ve got in your pretty little head about your boyfriend” he tries to mock back, gain laughter on his side but there's a dead silence, almost uncomfortable as everyone can feel the second hand embarrassment
Your smirk grows
“Oh mister asswipe” that gains laughs and a cackle you recognise as Sirius’ “Can I call you asswipe?”
“N-”
“Good” you shut him up “Well mister asswipe, and little miss asswipe, don’t think I’ve forgotten about you dearie” you throw her a wink and that finally sends her running off, abandoning her ‘friend’ and you giggle “Looks like miss asswipe left the building” you shrug 
Remus watches you amazed, seeing his girlfriend put his and so many others bullies in place was satisfying, almost empowering, to watch…although it also reminded him to never, ever, piss you off
“Your girl is fucking awesome” Sirius whispers, shaking his head and loving every second of this
“She's so cool” Peter smiles
“Chose well mate” James lifts his hand from Sirius’ shoulder and pats Remus’ back
Remus can barely splutter a 'thanks' back as he listens to the boy scoff
“Avoiding my question with a misdirect? Amateur y/l/n” he rolls his eyes, earning boos from the crowd that you would later find out was started by Sirius and James
“If anyone's an amateur it’s your father. Let’s face it he’s only got a job at the Ministry because he’s rich and pure blooded, and while my family may also possess those traits we have something your inbred one could never have”
“And what is that?” 
“Respect, love...oh and class of course” you say simply “So, how would it affect your fathers already unsteady reputation when 3 to 4 dozen students come forward tomorrow with their statements of how you, and your little friend, have been bullying them for the last 7 years” you pose with a wicked grin, 'ohhh's' coming from the crowd around you and a 'damn' from who you can only assume was James
“I-ugh” he panics looking around the room and is met with no sympathy
“You see if there’s one thing even the purist of fuckers and the mugglest of muggleborns can agree on is what a piece of shit looks like and you, Mr Asswipe, are that…” you stab his chest exactly like the girl did last week “…piece…” again “…of…” and again “…shit” 
The boy looked mortified and down right terrified, clearly hoping that situation was hypothetical but judging by your dementor and satified smirk, his reputation really would be going down the toilet tomorrow 
Your smile dropped to a glare, ready to seal your final threat when you glanced briefly to the side, doubling back as you see Remus and your face softens immediately. He looked somewhere between shocked and impressed, but above all relieved, gifting you a funny looking yet grateful smile
You give him a quick one back before returning to the boy in front, face hardening to a menacing look once more “If you ever bully anyone again I will end you, but if you or your little friend dare come near my guy again, so much as breathe the wrong air around him I will do so much worse. So. much. worse” you say the last bit slower and lower, puting the fear of Salazar into the boy, who’s name we care not about "No one messes with my guy"
You point at him, trying not to laugh at fear on his face nor him literally shaking in his so last season boots
“Understood?” he nods quickly “Sorry princess, couldn’t hear you”
“U-understood”
“Good” he doesn’t move “You can leave now” and he does, quickly, like a penquin with his arse on fire, meanwhile the crowd claps
You give them a smile, seeing a couple professors pretending like they saw nothing in the corner of your eye, both wearing smirks. 
Your main focus went to Remus, walking right up to him but you’re cut off by his friends
“Teach us” James gets down on knees as does Sirius both bowing their heads like you were a god
“If moony says no to marriage I’m here darling” Sirius adds earning a smack in the back of his head by Remus 
“She’s my girl” his words and voice so soft yet so firm
“Sorry Siri” you shrug, throwing him a wink before taking your boyfriends hand and leading him away, leaving James and Sirius chucking while Peter gives you a rather adorable wave goodbye
There aren’t many words spoken on the way to his dorm, only the password to the portrait and a ‘you first’, both said by Remus in a whisper
“Are there actually people coming forward tomorrow?” He wonders, closing the door behind you
You giggle “Yup” you pop the p “He’s never gonna bother you or anyone again”
“How-” he’s cut off by you taking his hands and leading him towards the bed
“You remember last week at our study session?” You ask, dropping your hand from his and beginning to undo his tie
He nods “you heard them?” he asks, heart rate picking up at both the conversation and your soft movements 
You slide off his tie, pads of your fingers pressing tenderly into his shirt as you push off his cardigan “I did” you admit, placing his tie and cardigan on a nearby chair
“Why didn’t you mention it?” He’s whispering now, breathless at the simple movements done with so much care 
You begin unbuttoning his shirt, placing a sweet kiss on the new skin exposed with each one undone 
“You didn’t want me to know” you say simply between kisses “So I plotted how to destroyed them”
He chuckles at that 
“You succeeded there Bunny” he lets out a smile, a weight lifted for the first time in a long while
You continue to kiss down his chest to his stomach and Remus’ eyes flutter with each one
You untuck his shirt “You think I went a little far?” you meet his eyes, you felt no sympathy or guilt for what you did but you needed to know he felt it just
“Best thing I’ve ever seen” he wasn’t lying, seeing his girl humiliate his bullies was a little hot, he had no idea how much of a spitfire you could be when you wanted to
You smile, leaning in to kiss his nose “I thoroughly enjoyed it” your fingers run up his chest, gently playing with his dusting of hair as you do before you push off his shirt and place it with his other clothing
Remus takes over when you fingers move to your own tie “let me” he kisses your temple, nudging his nose deeper into your hair afterwards as he can’t express his gratitude through words
He takes off your emerald tie, placing it neatly with his own. He kisses your nose, adoring the scrunch and giggle while his hands find the hem of your jumper. Your hands go up without instruction, this dance had been done multiple times before, yet neither of you grew bored of it
His fingers find your buttons, copying your own movements and kissing as he goes. His fingers tickle your skin as he untucks it, and he catches it when you let it fall from your shoulders. 
“Pretty bunny” he compliments, now sitting up on his knees and kissing just below your belly button
“Pretty wolf” you return, seeing the inner conflict in his eyes at it
You encourage him to stand up and he takes your extended hands which help him to his feet. You then unbuckle his belt and unzip his trousers, pushing them down just a little and letting them fall to his ankles before taking his hands again, needlessly but sweetly helping him step out of them
Left in his boxers Remus’ fingers hook around the band of your skirt, gently pulling it over your hips before allowing it to fall to the floor. He then moves you towards the bed, tugging your tights down to your thighs
“Sit down bunny” he gently asks, chuckling as you do sit but let your body fall back onto the bed, lifting your legs for him
He glides the tights off, placing them with your skirt while you sit up
“Is my night shirt still here?” you sit up, already unclasping your bra
He nods, grinning to himself as he goes to his dresser and catches a glimpse of you as he does. 
Grabbing the shirt he turns back to find you have already gotten under the covers, sitting with your knees bent, arms lazily wrapped around them with a thin sheet covering yourself, back on full display for him
“Come here big guy” you tap the bed next to you
His face light up, cheeks raising as he climbs in next to you “Here Bunny” he holds out the shirt only for you to gently push his hand back
His eyebrows knit for all of two seconds before the raise, face flustering as the covers drop and you turn around, leg lifting up and over as you straddle him
You take the shirt from his now loose hand, while his eyes flick from your chest to your face but mostly to your chest until the shirt slides over them
“You’re killing me” he tells you, hands sliding up your bare thighs slowly 
“I know” you say, pressing your lips together as you smile
“Cruel temptress” his hands find their way under your shirt, resting on your hips, thumbs caressing where your band of your underwear meets your bare thigh, tucking themselves into the crevice 
You bite your lip, eyes trailing down his chest to the pudge of his stomach, loving the squish from his seated position 
“Maybe…or perhaps you’re just so beautiful I can’t help myself” you say, causing his already dusted cheeks to kiss his eyelashes 
“You really think so?” He asks, like he has too many times before but you still treat it like the first time
Cupping his cheeks you whisper “I know so” yet this time you have more to add “you aren’t pathetic nor are you worthless. You have more in that heart of yours than they could have in a hundred lifetimes. You are more than what you turn into once a month and the scars you have from them” you kiss the old wound on his nose “They are beautiful, they aren’t a reminder of a monster they’re a reminder of the brave…brave man in front of me” you peck his lips as you speak, unable to resist “You’re not a monster or a freak. You’re Remus, the man as pretty as the thing you’re named after”
His grip on your hips tightens slightly, bringing you that little bit closer as he leans his forehead on yours for a few seconds before pulling back, eyes a little glassy
“I adore you” is all he says, no denial of his beauty, no argument that he was indeed a monster, no, none of that this time
You smile “I adore me too” you quip, yelping a little as he nips your sides “Meany” you giggle before one hand drifts up and pulls you in for a kiss
Sadly, you pull away early, much to his, and your, disappointment but you can’t let it go unsaid
“I love you”
He didn’t need the confirmation, everything you just said, did and were doing for him confirmed your love. 
Still, hearing those words completed him
“Say it again” 
“I love you” you repeat, chewing on your lip as his hand moves back to your hips to pull you impossibly closer
“One more” he whispers, leaning in, lips brushing
“I love you Remus lupin” your lips tickle his, both smiling before your lips meet again
Your hand finds his chest, palms flat against it, while his move up and down your waist. Lips moving in sync while your bodies try to move closer, merge as one. His tongue sliding out and over your lips, diving in when you grant permission
“Hey you’ll never…oh hello”
You and Remus jump at the noise, lips disconnecting with a small trail of saliva as you turn your head to see James and Sirius at the door, the former with Peter asleep in his arms as a rat and the latter with food from the kitchens 
Remus’ hand lowered your shirt the moment the door clicked open, hands resting on your bum to ensure it was covered. While you wipe your now plumb lips with a shy smile on your face
Sirius was smiling while James raised an eyebrow “You two doing it right now or is this still the lead up?” He wonders motioning 
You giggle, tucking your head into the crook of Remus’ neck while he answers “Out” he points 
Sirius chuckles, turning to James “Told ya he’d get turned on by…”
“Pads” Remus scolds, cheeks heating up so fast you can feel it creeping up his neck
“What?” Sirius shrugs while James pushes him out of the room mouthing ‘sorry’ although that was mostly for you when you peak out at them
The moment the door shuts again you and Remus start laughing, especially at the muffled “be safe” from Sirius 
“So” Remus starts once the laughter dies down
“So” you tug your bottom lip between your teeth, hands finding his and playing with them
“What do you want to do?” He asks, although he’s pretty sure he knows the answer
“You know what” you grin at him
He lets out a chuckle “Come on then” you both wiggle down on the bed until his head meets the pillow
You smile to yourself, shifting your weight to one side and lowering yourself to lay beside him. Remus reaches down and grabs the covers, pulling them up until your shoulder, as your head moves to lay in the crook of his shoulder
“I love you rem” you kiss the side of his chest, leg and hand moving around him
“Love you too bunny” he kisses your hair, arms wrapping securely around you “sweet dreams”
“Sweet dreams” you murmur, somehow already falling asleep
Remus just smiles down at you, not one hour ago you had the entire school afraid and in shock, while now it was like none of that ever happened and you were his sleepy bunny again…and he was your guy, your wolf…

“Why does he have to ruin everything” Hermione mumbles as she sniffled quietly, picking at the fabric of her dress
She wished the stairs would swallow her whole. Not only was her night ruined due to a stupid red headed boy but she made a scene in front of three of her favourite professors, all who happened to be either the father or godfather of her other twit of a friend
“Tissue?” 
She looks up, eyes glassy when she sees you in front of her, adorned in a beautiful dress whose colour complemented her blue one. She admires you for a few seconds, looking down at her like some angel…or maybe that was the backlights doing. Her eyes then drift to your hands, realising you’ve been holding out a small handkerchief the entire time
“Thank you” she accepts the gesture hesitantly, scared about something going wrong, especially when you didn’t leave but smiled kindly at her
“Can I sit?” you ask softly
“Sure” she replies again with some hesitancy
She didn’t recognise you, she knew everyone in her year which meant two things, one she knew with complete certainty, you weren’t a Gryffindor, and the other, you may or may not be in her year. The thing she didn’t know was house, in particular if you were a Slytherin here to mock her
“You look beautiful” you say after a few seconds of awkward silence, at least on Hermione's part
She felt heat on her face at that but didn’t understand why, so many had told her the same thing, even more than your simple compliment so why was it affecting her so?
“Thanks” she says shyly, avoiding eye contact and instead begins to clean herself up with the tissue
After doing so she finally faces you, finding you smiling sweetly at her “Your mascara has smudged a little” you comment, reaching out “May I?” you seek permission
Hermione just nods, holding her breath as you gently wipe her cheek, so close she can feel your breath on her skin
“D-did you get it?” she wonders, voice shaky, merlin why was she so nervous?
“Yeah, you know you look beautiful with it…” you tuck a stand behind her ear “...but you look so beautiful without it too” you tell her
Hermione had to be honest, no one had ever been this nice to her off the bat, it made her confused, were you truly this nice or did you have an ulterior motive?
Before she could speak you were standing up, her heart dropping at the idea of you leaving but then you turned back “The ball hasn’t finished yet” you hold out your hand “Would you like to dance with me?” 
The girl found herself nodding wordlessly, accepting your hand and following you faster than her mind could process it all. When it finally caught up you had your hand on her waist leading a slow waltz
“What's your name?” she asks rather abruptly
Your eyes widen, a soft chuckle leaving your lips “Y/n” you say then smile, a smile the girl can’t help but melt under
“Have we met before?” in all honesty maybe she was being silly, maybe you just changed your hair or had a little glow up over summer and she didn’t recognise you because no stranger is this nice
You bob your head “We share a couple of classes but we’ve never spoken. I know who you are though, we just…run in different circles” you answer and she feels like there's a hint of sadness in your last comment hidden behind that golden smile of yours 
“And what circle…” her breath hitches as you twirl her around, so smoothly she feels like she's floating on air “And what circle would that be?” she asks, licking her lips and trying to suppress the shyness that overcomes her at your touch
“The under the radar Hufflepuff kind” you giggle at your own statement, she swears when she laughs too your eyes linger on her lips for a moment
“You must be happy your house may win the tournament then huh?” she asks, forgetting her date was another competitor, hell she probably couldn’t remember anything when she was with you, she was like a moth to a flame and fire never looked so pretty than it did on you
What was happening to her? 
“Quite” you nod “Ceds going to kick their arses” you say and Hermione lets out a laugh far louder than the joke needed causing her to scrunch her nose in embarrassment 
You were about to speak again when the music finished and shifted to something more upbeat and jumpier. Hermione could tell this wasn’t your style, especially as you gently lead her to the edge of the dance floor
“Thank you for the dance” you say, hands never leaving her own and she has to do her best not to let her eyes flutter shut at the way your thumbs run over her knuckles
“No thank you, you saved my night” she replies honestly, you really did save the ball for her and she would remember that forever
“It was my pleasure, really” your last word has an underlying firmness she can’t seem to decipher
There's a tap to her shoulder, turning around she lets her hands fall from yours, ignoring the coldness spreading through them as she faces Victor 
“I shall escort you back” he states holding out his arm, that dazzling smile that made butterflies flutter mere hours ago doing nothing now
Hermione takes it before turning back to you, you were smiling but it wasn’t reaching your eyes, at least not until she gave you a smile back as she spoke 
“Thank you again y/n” 
“Anytime love” you reply just as Victor begins walking and her knees feel weak
Love
Tumblr media
After the ball Hermione found herself seeing you everywhere. In the library with Cedric and another girl as you presumably helped research for the next task, in all of the classes she never knew she shared with you, hallways, great hall at meal times…just everywhere. Maybe it was because she was aware of your presence now, or maybe it was because you left an everlasting effect on her at the ball and she was now subconsciously seeking you out
She was sure Ron and Harry had noticed her distracted nature but probably mistook it for being mad as both tried their best to make it up to her. In truth she wasn’t so mad at them anymore, if it wasn’t for them she wouldn’t have met you, and weren’t you just amazing? Sitting there with a smile that could light up people’s days without even trying, your skin positively glowing this morning as the light streamed into the hall, your hair…
“Mione” she feels something hit her nose, making it scrunch
Looking down she sees a corner of crust “What?” she huffs at the twins knowing one of them would have thrown it
“Who are you gawking at?” Fred wiggles his eyebrows while George just smirks next to him
Hermione felt her face grow warm that she was caught in the act, about to say a rather pathetic nothing when Ron grumbles
“Probably Victor” he scoffs, still a little sore about the whole thing
Harry hums in agreement
“Yeah Ron’s right” she agrees too quickly, and she should have known the twins weren’t as easily fooled as her friends
“Oh really?” Fred smirks at her, cocky bastard
“Yeah” she tries to maintain
“Really” and Fred maintains his
“Yes”
“Really”
This goes on for one more 'yes' and 'really' than even George could handle
“Yes really!” he cuts in, gently smacking his twin on the back of the head and pointing at her “Because Victor isn’t over in the direction you were drooling, he isn’t even in the great hall this fine morning”
Hermione’s eyes dart around the room, they were right, Victor was nowhere to be seen and she was between annoyed and embarrassed at that fact
“Wait, so who were you looking at?” Harry asks intrigued while Ron is looking around the room a bit pissed at the thought of yet another person he would not be competing with 
“Yeah Mione” Fred eggs on earning one hell of a death glare
“No one” she shakes her head but makes the mistake of letting her eyes flick to you and lingering when you happen to meet her gaze 
Fred’s head whips in the direction of you catching the wave and rather flirty smile you send Hermione's way before he turns back, looking at the girl in a surprised shock
“Who is it?” Ron asks with Harry and George leaning in to hear
Hermione sinks into herself, and she’s thankful Fred seems to notice, his playful teasing nature dropping before he puts on a smile “No one lil Ronniekins” he wiggles his nose at his brother “Just wanted to see the look on your face”
George looks a little confused but recovers soon enough, smirking away and not questioning anything. Harry bursts out in laughter as does a few others that had overheard causing Ron to go as red as his hair and throw his half-eaten slice of toast at his elder brother
“Arsehole” he huffs going back to his meal
Hermione looks up at Fred while everyone else is in a fit of giggles, mouthing ‘thank you’ to him and earning a little wink back
Tumblr media
Over the next year Fred was a great help while Hermione figured out what was going on. Eventually after Fred pretty much telling her every second he could, dropping all of her stuff in herbology when you bent down in front of her, oh and snapping her quill when some Ravenclaw girl was getting a little too close for her liking she finally knew what it was…she fancied you, like really fucking fancied you
“You gonna ask her out?” 
She groans at Fred intrusion, sure he was a good friend but she really wasn’t in the mood
“No” she pouts as Fred takes a seat next to her
He looks at her like she just told him his pranks are genius and not at all annoying “Why?” he looks baffled “You’re fawning over her, telling me how pretty and lovely she is…merlin Mione you came up with a ship name and everything” he argues
Her face heats “I…shut up” she whines “Anyway you’re the one that encouraged me to find the perfect one and stayed up till 3am until we found it”
“And it was time well spent” he laughs, hand moving to grip her shoulder softly “But…you’re avoiding the question Granger. It’s been well over a year now” he reminds her
“I can’t just ask her…what if she doesn't like me, what if she doesn’t like girls? Do I even know if I like girls? I mean I like her but I liked boys before…ugh” she leans her forehead on the table
“So, what you’re saying is your sexually confused and afraid of rejection” he says simply
She tilts her to look up at him “Pretty much” she says, pouting at Fred smiley expression
“Well Granger hate to break it to you but everyone is like that” he shrugs “But if it makes you feel better George went through something similar with Lee and Angelina turns out he’s bisexual, and as for the rejection part I can guarantee you that she fancies you too”
Hermione lifts her head, swatting away the paper stuck to her cheek on the way up “You think?” her mood picks up, if there was one thing Fred wouldn’t kid about it was this
“I don’t think…shut it” he points at her “I know. She smiles at you every chance she gets, she asked you to dance a waltz at the ball and the best till last” he rubs his hands together “I little Ravenclaw birdy I was wooing yesterday told me that she overheard y/n and Cedric talking about the girl she had a crush on and the description more than matches the smartest witch I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing”
Hermione was about to speak, a nervous smile on her face when she and Fred her something fall, turning to look in that direction 
“Speak of the angel and there she shall appear” Fred nudges her “Come on Granger, prove why you’re a griff and not a claw” 
“I can’t” she shakes her head, fingers gripping the edge of the book nearby “I mean look at her Fred”
“I am, she’s gorgeous and if she wasn’t into you I’d go for it…kidding” he holds up his hands because they both knew he probably wasn’t “Look she’s a person, you don’t have to ask her out just talk to her” he encourages
Hermione looks at him, giving him a nervous look to which he nods his head with a smile
“I’m right here to rescue you if it goes tits up…in a bad way” he raises his eyebrows
“You’re an arse” she places the book down on top of his hand with a little force
He lets out a small yelp “Oww…I may be an arse but you go talk to your girl”
“She’s not my girl” she whispers back
“Not yet” he whisper shouts, making her wave her hand for him to be quiet
Hermione walks up slowly, pulling at her skirt and cardigan, trying to tame some if her wild curls hanging out of her bun
She's just a person, we can talk to people, it’s going to be fine
You turn to her as you reach to place one of the fallen books back, skirt coming up a little as you do, along with that smile on your face
Nope it’s not fine…abort abort…fuck
“Hi there” you beam at her before she can run away “Did you need this?” you drop down from your tippy toes, holding out the book
Say something…
Say anything…
“Are you okay?” you wonder, stepping towards her
She nods “Grand” she squeaks out
“You look a little flushed” you note, hints of amusement in your voice
“It’s rather warm in here” she lets out a nervous laugh
“It is rather hot” you say and she feels herself melt when your eyes flick up and down her figure “How have you been?” you inquire, leaning your forearm against the bookshelf…merlin you were going to kill her
“O-okay. How are you feeling about exams?” she inquires, internally cringing about asking about school
You don’t seem to mind though, smiling away “Good, you’ll find Hufflepuffs are rather laid back about that kind of thing” you chuckle, eyes flicking to the side briefly, clearly seeing something as you smile widens “What about yourself love?”
There it was again, love, over a year later and still that one word made her weak
“Okay” oh my god pull yourself together and say something that isn’t okay “I’m a little nervous of not doing well” she confesses, expecting you to laugh and tell her she’s being silly, smartest witch of her age scared about failing? Anyone would laugh
But you don’t, instead you push yourself off the bookshelves and take one of her hands
“You’ll do great. Either way you’ll have tried your best and that's all you can do” you assure her, thumbs rubbing over her knuckles the same way they did last year
“You’re too nice” she says, biting her lip, eyes lingering on your intertwined hands
“You’ll find love that you’re too nice” you give her hand a squeeze before letting go “You have any plans for Hogsmeade this weekend?”
Hermione’s heart picks up, maybe you’ll ask her out 
“Nothing” she answers too quickly, her face heating up “Why?” she certain you can feel…hell hear the giddy excitement from her
“There’s an event happening at Tomes and Scrolls. Ced won the tickets in some raffle a couple weeks ago but it’s not really his thing ya see” you tell her
“Sounds lovely” more than lovely actually, first date you might be taking her to a bookshop? You were perfect for her
“Will be if I had your company” you smile at her but it’s softer than the grin you wore before, almost like you were nervous too just hid it better than she did
“Are you asking me…” she doesn’t want to assume but holy hell does she hope you are
You giggle “If I am, would you say yes?” 
“Yes” she nods with a smile
You light up “Grand” you tuck some hair behind her ear “I’ll pick you up at ten on Saturday, your common room” your thumb flicks over her cheek “You really do look beautiful in every light” you say mostly to yourself
Hermione just nods, too overwhelmed to speak and she curses herself as you walk away. She should have told you that you look pretty, Merlin! She didn’t even say it at the ball either…
“So…ouch!” the voice startles her
“Sorry” she apologises as she realises she elbowed Fred in the gut
“It’s alright Granger” he groans “Remind me to never piss you off though…or throw you a surprise party” he mutters the last bit “What?” he smirks seeing her expression
“I have a date on Saturday” she squeals jumping up and down
Fred’s eyes widen, scooping the girl into his arms and spinning her around as they celebrate
“That’s amazing doll” he says kissing her cheek
Someone coughs awkwardly…actually that might just be Harry coughing normally
The unlikely duo freeze, looking to the side to see Harry looking amused while Ron pissed
“What's going on here?” the younger Weasley questions, eyes flicking between the two
“Nothing” they say in union as Fred gently places Hermione down
“Are you two shagging?” Ron blurts out causing Fred to burst out laughing and Hermione to giggle
“No” Fred shakes his head “She’s great but as much as I do love a good bookworm me and Mione aren’t a match” he assures his brother “Don’t think I’m her type either” he says coyly 
The girl rolls her eyes, hitting him gently
“So…you two just became friends?” Harry asks surprised “I mean, how did that happen?” he chuckles at the notion
They nod 
“Yes, he’s been helping me with some stuff…” the boys look more confused at that until she adds “...that isn’t school related”
Tumblr media
For Hermione Saturday came around real slow, and it was not helped in the slightest by Ron and Harry pestering her about her date…yes Fred being Fred let that slip just a bit
“You two aren’t to follow me” she points at her friends who nod a tad scared from their seats on the common room couch…more so after one or five more needless threats to cut up Harry’s cloak if they tried before she headed out to meet you
Exiting the portrait, she finds you leaning on a bannister, looking as gorgeous as ever in your own little world. She had to admit she needed a moment before gaining your attention, she was in a dress paired with jumper from, weirdly enough, Neville’s collection as the boy had shrunk it by accident and gave it to her. You on the other hand were in jeans, a band shirt and leather jacket, looking so cool. 
How in the world did she manage to get a date with someone so badass looking?
“Hi” she gains your attention 
You turn with a smile on your face before your lips part, eyes flicking down her figure “You look…” you shake your head and she feels herself grow nervous “...how do you get prettier every time?” you let out a sweet chuckle
Hermione relaxes, heart-warming at the compliments
“Could say the same about you” she quips and your eyes light up in a way Hermione adores, noting to do that more often
“You coming then love?” you hold out your hand, palm upwards
She accepts it, letting you lead her anywhere you wanted
Tumblr media
Hermione thought the staring would bother her, sure she shied away a few times, even hid behind you once when you kissed her temple whilst waiting in the queue, but she really didn’t mind it. Holding your hand, chatting with you, not worrying about what people thought was refreshing, freeing
The entire date felt that way. She realised as badass as you looked on the outside you were actually a complete softie. Your gentle nature was always at the forefront when you were speaking to her, but it also translated into your nerdiness around books, music, and even quidditch. In fact, with your help she actually began to understand the game better 
She found out you were a pureblood, and funnily enough adopted by two professors she admired and knew very well, but you kept your original last name since it would draw attention at school. She also discovered that due to this you were Harry's god sister and got along with her friend very well, spending most summers and Christmas’ together. 
It was funny, she had always heard of Harry's god sister but never would have guessed it was you…although now it was clear as day. You dressed and were as laidback as Sirius, flirted like him too, but personality wise you were all Remus, nerdy and soft, total sweetheart
“My friends are having a small gathering this afternoon” she mentions on passing, not wanting to ask encase it was way too soon for you
Your hand drops from hers, yup way too…and it moves around her shoulder…not too soon?
“Are you comfortable with me joining?” you ask, looking down at her with the kindest eyes
She nods “Yeah, I want them to meet you…well for them to meet you properly…again…help me” she stumbles, cheeks hot as she forgot you were practically family with Harry for a hot minute
You move around in front of her, hands now running up and down her arms “You’re alright love, easy mistake to make. We don’t exactly scream it from the rooftops” you coo before your expression softens to something vulnerable, the same vulnerability you showed when you asked her out “I only have one question”
“What would that be?” she reaches out to your jacket before sweetly patting it and withdrawing her hands, an act which makes you smile a bit
“Who do you want to introduce me as?” 
She looks at you confused “What do you mean?” 
“Like” your hands drop down to take hers “as your new friend…or…”
“Or?” she extends the syllables
“More than a friend” 
Her lips make an ‘o’ shape “I hadn’t thought about that” she answers honestly
“That's okay” she can hear the slight hurt in your voice you try and mask, the small crack when you said that's breaks her heart “I can just be your friend until you want to tell them otherwise…if you want otherwise of course” you let out a nervous giggle, accompanied by an uncharacteristic shy smile “I might have misread everything” you confess, swallowing hard
“You haven’t misread anything sweets” she replies right away, the very pet name that had been on her tongue all day slipping out
She was about to apologise for the slip when she saw your face. How the tables had turned, she had rendered you quite flustered
“Can you say that last part again?” your hands squeeze hers
“Sweets?” she repeats and your cheeks rise, lips pressing together “You like it?”
“Love it” you whisper before leaning in “Can I?”
She doesn’t answer, instead leans in, pressing her lips against yours firmly. You chuckle into it, hand moving to cup her cheek and gently parting your lips
“Something wrong?” she panics
You shake your head, pecking her nose “Nothing, you’re just cute is all” you say with the upmost endearment “Was that your first kiss?”
“Was it that obvious!” she exclaims, burying her head into your chest “I’m sorry” whines
She can feel the vibrations of your chest before you course her to look at you “Maybe a little” you admit but as embarrassed as she was your gaze was so soft it made her feel okay again “Why don’t we try it again but this time copy my movements”
She nods, perking up at the idea of kissing you again. Your thumb brushes over her cheek down to her lips, pulling down the bottom one before leaning in. Your softer than she was, lips moving slowly until she finally begins to copy.
To start it’s a little awkward as she’s thinking too…
“Don’t overthink it lovely” you murmur “Let yourself melt into it”
She does just that, lips moving in sync as the world around her is forgotten.
Not seeing her two twits of friends coming out of a nearby shop, one in a happy shock the other like his brain stopped working, or the two identical people down the road, one smiling proudly before telling the other that was his doing. Nor did she see the three professors, two who would later be her father in laws, all smiling to themselves and exchanging money

Poor bunny
Tumblr media
Remus Lupin and fem! marauder! reader
[Requested – see request here]
Tumblr media
Summary: Y/n doesn’t understand why her friends are lying to her every month, so on one full moon she follows them…
Warnings: swearing, mentions of blood, gashes, scars, everything associated with werewolves and one attacking someone, quite graphic and sad but there is a lot of fluff in thrown in there to balence it out...maybe bring some tissues x
A/n: 5.4k words, reader is a marauder and a rabbit animagus, hence the name bugs (like bugs bunny), I really like this one, super proud of it, enjoy!
Tumblr media
Navigation | Remus Lupin Masterlist
Tumblr media
You smiled looking at Remus concentrating on the other end of the room. You wondered if he knew how perfect and pretty he was, of course being his best friend for near 6 years you knew that wasn’t true and it broke your heart every time you remembered it. 
Sirius, James and Peter had gone to Hogsmeade to get some supplies as Remus was feeling a little tired, while you had stayed to keep him company, and by company you lay on Peters bed, since he had the softest covers, contemplating life while Remus read his book
Your gaze was broken as Sirius sat down on the bed next to you, shifting his legs to lean them all the wall besides yours
He taps your sock clad foot with his own “Hey bugs” he says a little tired, leaning his head on your shoulder 
You tap his foot back “Hi Pads” you reply leaning your head on his own
While Sirius and you engage in general conversation, James moves to sit by Remus and Peter goes to the bathroom 
Plopping himself down James nudges the boy “Alright moony” he says upbeat
Remus keeps his eyes on the book “Hey Prongs” he greets with a small smile, bumping him gently with his knee
“Got you some goodies” James pulls out a couple of chocolate bars, holding them up
That draws Remus’ attention away from the book “Thank you Prongs” he says placing down the book and accepting the chocolate, as he opens a bit up he lets his head fall into the James’ shoulder
James wraps his arm around him placing a small kiss to his hair, he knew each moon effected his friend differently, but there was a pattern and this one had his friend exhausted and beyond sad. He had stayed up last night with Remus as he cried wishing that he didn’t have to go through it once again and it killed James. He wished he could help more, take away the pain, even take it himself so Remus wouldn’t have to suffer anymore, all of them did…and he also knew you would do the same if you knew
Like the other marauders you were an animagus, a wild rabbit, something the rest of the boy’s thought was rather adorable considering the ‘big bad wolf’ was in love with you. You had found the mandrake leaves and questioned it, wondering if that was the plan for everyone to become one. After much, much convincing from the rest of the boys, Remus was swayed into letting you become one, but under one condition, you were never to know and never to come with. He argued your form was too fragile and too easily hurt by him, which was bullshit as Peter was smaller than you, but they ultimately agreed
James knew the real reason though, it was clear to everyone besides yourself, Remus was in love with you
“Oh yeah” Peter says as he comes back into the room “I got your favourite bugs” he picks up a bag he had set by the door and moving to sit on the end of his bed
Your face lights up, bringing your feet off of the wall and twirling around to face him “Ooo gimmie” you make grabby hands at the boy, making him smile and Sirius chuckle
On the other side of the room Remus admires how happy you look, he loved your smile, loved everything about you. He snuggled into James a bit more, heart longing for you. There were so many times he wanted to tell you, merlin he hated lying to you, but he couldn’t let you know he was a monster. He knew you wouldn’t hate him for it, but he knew you would try to help, maybe get yourself hurt and worst of all, he was terrified you would never love him in a romantic sense once you’d seen him like that
You struggled to open the packet “You need some help?” Sirius holding out his hands but you shake your head
“Thanks Pads…but…I’ve got...ow!” you say strained as you try to rip it open but you finally get it you punch yourself in the process, yelping in pain
Remus sits right up “You alright?” he asks worried, ignoring the amused stare from James
You whine in response 
“What happened?” Peter asks, hand on your knee
“I was trying to open it and when it finally gave way I punched my boob” you explain before cupping your right one and falling backwards on the bed, groaning softly as you pout
The boys try not to chuckle “Want me to kiss it better” Sirius wiggles his eyebrows earning your foot waving in his face “Hey!” he laughs jolting his head away
Later that night James, Sirius and Peter were all adding some additions to the map on the floor so you joined Remus on his bed, the two of you munching on goodies
“How are you feeling?” you ask softly, you had noticed he looked off the last few days and figured it must be his illness acting up again
He tenses at the question, you knew he didn’t like talking about it “I’m fine” he assures you
You clasp your hand over his, watching as his body relaxes into your touch “I’m here if you need me” you say, head falling naturally onto his shoulder
He closed his eyes and smiled, he loved these moments “I know…” he laces your hands properly, squeezing it “…I really appreciate you y/n” he confesses, he was almost drunk on tiredness but he knew he really didn’t tell you that enough
You kiss his shoulder “Feelings mutual Rem” you say quietly
It was times like this you believed truly that you and he were more than friends, sure you held the others boys hands, you and Peter would cosy together as a rabbit and rat quiet often, Sirius let you cuddle him as Padfoot when you were upset, and James let you ride him as Prongs…of course the last one Sirius tended to bring up out of context just to make you and James mortified
“I was thinking” you say after a few minutes
He chuckles “Should I be scared” he lightly teases
You nudge your head into his neck “Cheeky” you giggle together “There’s this reading night think at Scrolls and Tomes, free food, drinks and they are bringing a bunch of new muggle books in” 
Remus can feel your smile on his shoulder “I don’t know if anyone else besides Wormtail would like that” he admits
You shake your head lightly “I was thinking it could be something for just the two of us” your voice gentle and smooth but inside your stomach was a tizzy
His eyes widened, it sounded like you were asking him out, although if he actually thought about it, it sounded like the way Marlene and Dorca spoke, the way a group couple would ask to spend time alone together
“When is it?” he wonders, heart fluttering at the idea it really could be a date
“Tomorrow night” you say happily until you feel him tense up “Rem?” you lift your head to look at him
His mouth opens but shuts soon after, tomorrow was the full moon, merlin it was just his luck wasn’t it “I’m really sorry but I already have plans” he says sadly, heart physically aching watching the disappointment and sadness wash over in your eyes before it was replaced with your beautiful smile…your beautiful sad smile
“That’s okay” you assure him, it would be silly of you to take that as a rejection, you should have asked earlier “So what are you up to?” you inquire trying to not show the small tearing of your heart
He hesitates “Umm…prank set up” he says, instantly regretting it
Prank set up? What was he thinking. One, you helped them with pranks even helped come up with them, and two, how was that important enough to merit not going with you. He didn’t look at you for a second, when he did chance a look, his heart broke in two, you looked completely deflated and the worst part was you were so nice about it
“What’s the prank…I didn’t know you were planning one?” you ask sadly but with a kind tone, even if you felt so angry deep down. 
They always did this, once a month they would leave you out of something and you were getting tired of what. You stayed quiet though, Remus wasn’t well…or maybe he just didn’t want to go on a friend date
“It’s to do with the boy’s communal bathroom down the hall” he says hoping that ends the conversation and it does
You just nodded after that, heading back to your dorm sooner than usual looking crushed and leaving Remus riddled with guilt
Tumblr media
You stuck to your dorm most of the next day, after last night you really weren’t in the mood to hang out with your best friends, so instead you chilled with Marlene and Lily as the latter tried to teach you both how to knit
“Like this?” you say demonstrating to the redhaired girl
Her eyes light up “Yes!” she claps her hands “Perfect you’re my star student” 
You grin at the compliment feeling good about yourself before looking at Marlene and bursting out in giggles. Lily follows your eyes and starts laughing as well, both of you about to say something when there was a knock at the door 
“Hey…” Sirius says as he enters, extending the syllables before it breaks into chuckles “You alright Marls?” he asks watching as the girl is literally ingulfed in wool
She stops struggling and accepts it, arm and shoulder stuck upwards wrapped in “I’m doing good, Lils is right, knitting is verythreptic” she says nodding, voice laced with sarcasm
“What were you trying to make?” Sirius asks amused
Marlene smacks her lips a little “Would you believe a scarf for my lovely girl?” she says
“A blue scarf” you add to which Sirius starts laughing again at the fact Marlene had every colour but blue wrapped around her
“Need help” Lily holds up some scissors
Marlene shakes her head “Nope I’m perfectly….capab-ble…” she tries to break out but it only gets tighter “Yes please I think I’m losing circulation” she changes her mind and sends a pleading look to her friend
While Lily cuts Marlene out you turn to Sirius “What you need Pads?” you smile at the boy “Also do you like the jumper…I think Rem would suit it” you hold up a half-finished jumper…that Lily totally started for you but you were taking full credit for
He nods “Yes he’s going to love it” and love you more than he does already “I was just sent to give these to Red” Sirius pulls out some chocolates and flowers from behind his back
Lily turns to look, as well as a now free Marlene “Oh my god!” she says excited, practically skipping over to the boy and taking the flowers. 
Smelling them, she does a little spin before taking the chocolate
“You like them?” Sirius asks with a knowing smile
“Like them, I love them!” she exclaims with the biggest smile before it drops briefly “Siri please don’t tell…”
“…tell him you love it and him because you aren’t ready” he finishes for her, giving the girl a small hug and kiss to the temple “Don’t worry I’ll tell him you thought it was nice of him as always” he says glancing at you as he finishes and winking
As Lily sits down, completely giddy over her gift you and Marlene turn back to Sirius “So what you guys up to tonight?” Marlene asks
For the first time since he came in you see Sirius’ face falter but he quickly recovers “James wants us to help him with this…ugh…assignment we got in detention, we’ve been planning on working on it tonight for ages” he says quickly before taking his leave
“That was weird…” Marlene notes as the door closes, looking at you confused as does Lily
You nod, heart sinking “It was…I think I’m going to go check on them” you say standing up
“It’s almost curfew so be careful if you go out, out” Lily reminds you
Marlene giggles “Merlin Lils be less of a mum” she says earning a stuck out nose from Lily
“I’ll be fine…mum” you tease grabbing your jumper and slipping it on in case you did end up outside “Oh Marls” you say as you reach the door “If Lily is my mum then are you my wine aunt?”
“I prefer the sexy adopted cousin that you would have a scandalous affair with” she says casually while Lily half chokes on the air
You bob your head “I could see that…maybe another life time” you say blowing her a kiss and seeing her fall back catching it before you leave the dorm
You walked towards the main part of the common room, stopping at the small balcony you saw your friends heading out. You were mad now, Remus had lied to you, so had Sirius and it hurt more than anything. It was like they didn’t even see you as a marauder anymore, for almost two years, ever since you all became animagi, besides Remus who said he couldn’t due to his condition, they had disappeared every month. You didn’t mind if they wanted alone time, guy time or whatever they called it but lying to you to get it was a big no and you were going to confront them
Following them you ended up outside, you saw them heading to the forest but your jeans got caught on some bushes. While freeing your leg you cut yourself, it was tiny, along where the back of your hand and wrist met, but it still bled. You didn’t have time to care about it as you hiked towards the forest, passing by the willow at a safe distance…no way you were going near that thing after you and James and got stuck in it overnight in 3rd year
You hugged yourself as you walked through the trees, it was getting late and cold now. They wouldn’t have gone this far in, would they? Looking up you could see the full moon in the sky, you pouted thinking of Remus, your moon, the boy you loved more than anything, who was also lying to you. Huffing you decided to just go back inside but as you were about to take a step you heard something that made you freeze in complete horror 
A howl
You knew there were wolfs in the forest but they didn’t sound like that, those were nice, friendly howls while this was deeper, scarier…it was that of a werewolf. 
Looking around you tried to judge if any of the tree were climbable, you paid attention in class there was no way in hell you could out run it and it would catch your scent soon if it hadn’t already. Just as you were about to attempt climbing you heard distant cracking of twigs and patters on the forest floor. 
You turned to the direction it was coming from, this was how you were going to die, you knew the marauders would kill you one day but right now wait…marauders…moony…his condition…scars…gone once a month…
Remus was a werewolf, more specifically the werewolf that was going to kill you…oh if you weren’t shitting yourself this would be poetically tragic in some way
Your head snapped to see a large shadow stalk out of the bushes about 50m away, you needed a plan, you couldn’t die like this, he would never forgive himself. It tilted its head at you clearly gearing itself to pounce, you wondered where the other boys were and then it hit you, you could shift, your rabbit self could hide easier
You closed your eyes and focused everything on shifting but your panic was making it difficult, especially as you heard him approaching. You finally feel yourself shifting but it was too late, werewolves attack was in motion and your bunny self was launched into a nearby tree. 
Looking around everything was fuzzy. You whimpered, unable to shift back as you were in immeasurable pain, you couldn’t even tell where or what the injury was. As you lost consciousness the last thing you saw was Sirius’ Padfoot form licking your wounds and sad grey eyes staring down at you
James and Peter led Remus off and when they were at a safe distance Sirius shifted back into his normal form, looking down at the injured bunny, the y/h/c fur, little y/c/e eyes staring up at him helplessly before they closed, he knew it was you and he felt like the whole world ended
“Y/n” he was already fully in tears, gently shaking your little body “No merlin please…please you need to wake up” he sobs harder as you don’t move
A series of ‘pleases’ and ‘nos’ left his lips as he thought you were dead, but then he hears the tiniest whine, noticing your chest rising and falling through his tears
“You stay with me” he orders you as he takes off his jumper and wraps you in it, blood soaking his white shirt as he started to run towards the castle “Don’t you dare die on me”
Tumblr media
Remus groaned as he woke. When he realised he was already in the hospital wing, he let his head fall back onto the soft pillows. He couldn’t remember a thing, usually he did but on some occasions when he hurt himself particularly badly he would black out the memory. Problem was he didn’t feel injured, if anything there were cuts than usual and that worried him, more so as he only seen James and Peter approaching the bed
He sits up quickly, pain streaking across his chest but he didn’t care “Where’s Sirius” he asks in complete alarm
James and Peters faces didn’t help “Remus…” James says quietly, unsure of how to tell him
“James” Remus says terrified “Where is Sirius” he says the words slowly, a lump in his throat
“I’m here Moons” Sirius says approaching from down the way, looking distraught, shirt covered in blood, eyes raw
Remus’ eyes widen, shifting to get up, clutching his stomach as he sits legs daggling on the edge of the bed “Are you okay?” he asks, unable to stand due to the pain “I’m so sorry…there’s so much blood” 
Sirius glanced towards James and Peter, both have tears in their eyes, giving him a look that said ‘this is going to kill him’ 
“It’s not my blood” Sirius says hesitantly, letting out a shaky breath as he looks over his shoulder to the bed hidden by the curtains
Remus follows his eyes “Oh god” he mouths drops open, chin trembling, he hurt someone, what if he turned them, turned them into a monster too
“Remus…” Sirius starts running his fingers through his hair “She…she…” he can’t bare himself to say it out loud but Remus seems to get it
His heart dropped looking at the curtain, face filled with dread “No” he shakes his head “Sirius please” he begs as his eyes fill with tears “Please tell me she…she wasn’t…” 
When Sirius says nothing he has his answer, fully breaking down clutching his chest, his injuries forgotten by the searing pain in his heart
“Re-” Sirius goes to reach out and hold him but Remus pushes by him, shaking his head as he stumbles over to the curtains
He closes his eyes for a moment, breaking heavily before he opens the curtains. He lets out a sob, seeing your tiny little form, you were in your bunny form, battered and bruised
“What…” he turns back to James who has joined him while over his shoulder Sirius and Peter crying into each other beside his bed
James walks over to your bed “She shifted we think” he says quietly “Just…just not in time” he looks at you pained then back to Remus “It’s not your fault, you…”
“Yes, it is” Remus snaps at him, leaning over your broken frame, seeing the gash over your abdomen, blood sticking to your usually soft fur “Y/n” his head collapses into the bed beside you “I’m so sorry” he blubs into the covers, letting out a strangled scream
Remus felt more pain in that moment than every full moon rolled into one. He knew why you were in the forest because he knew what you were like. You knew he was lying yesterday and you followed him, it was his fault, he put you in this position and he hurt you, almost killed you. He heard James say something about Poppy not wanting to shift you back forcibly yet as your wounds needed to heal first, but in better news you didn’t get infected with Lycanthropy
James listens to Remus’ cries for hours, eventually carrying him back to his bed when he passed out from sheer exhaustion. The next morning Remus was told he could go to his dorm but he wouldn’t leave until you had shifted back and mid-afternoon Poppy did just that. 
The boys then took Remus to their room and he didn’t leave his bed for the next week, only for the bathroom and one forced shower where James washed him while he just stood there with no tears left to cry. Another week passed and he didn’t leave his bed, even when the boys rushed in and told him you had woke up and you were okay. He was relieved but then pulled the covers over him, readying himself for the love of his life to hate him forever
Tumblr media
The first thing you saw when you woke up was Sirius asleep by your bed. As he slept Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore explained to you that two weeks had passed since the full moon. They told you that you would heal but would have permanent scars, one running down chest to your navel and another from just below your right breast to your left hip
When you asked about Remus they told you he was fine in a physical sense but hadn’t returned to classes nor left his dorm room. You wanted to go to him but you couldn’t, you were on forced bed rest until you were one hundred percent. The other boys visited you every day and every day you asked about Remus
“He’s doesn’t want to leave the dorm, hasn’t spoken much”
“He’s blaming himself, he thinks it’s all his fault”
“Still hasn’t left his bed but he’s eating now”
You took that one as a small victory, at least he was eating. 
While you were on bed rest you finished the jumper, knitting a half crescent moon on the upper side of one arm and a carrot on the other with a little help from Lily…okay Lily did it but you helped by holding the wool
Almost three weeks had now passed from the full moon and you were officially allowed to leave. Grabbing the jumper, you went straight to Remus’ dorm, the boys hadn’t told him you would be coming out of fear he would hide from you so when you knocked on the door and there was no response you just let yourself in
Walking in slowly you saw a lump under the covers of Remus’ bed, soft snores coming from it. You approached as quietly as you could, placing the jumper on the bedside table as you took in his appearance. He looked like he hadn’t slept in weeks, eyes puffy and red, chalk white as he lay on his back, head fallen to the side
Slipping off your shoes you sat on the bed, snuggling yourself into his side over the covers “Oh Rem” you nudge your nose with his, hearing him hum but not wake
Your thumb brushed over the area just shy of a new scar on his jaw. You had almost a whole week to think about what had happened, your anger was gone now, replaced with the want…no need to be with him, look after him, let him know you were there and never ever leaving him
You watched him sleep for a bit before you rested your eyes, not going to sleep just soaking up the feeling of being near him when you heard his voice “Y/n?” he asks like it was a question, like he wasn’t sure if you actually existed
Your eyes fluttered open “Hi” you give him a warm smile
His heart stopped, staring at you wide eyed and now fully awake, you were here, really here. He had imagined what you would say to him so many times, he always imagined you crying, shouting, all negative. The only time you weren’t was in his deepest dreams, in those you didn’t know, you weren’t ever hurt and all if this was a nightmare…but it was real and now had to face it. 
The smile never left your lips, why weren’t you mad at him? Did you not know it was him, you must have…wait, were you accepting him? But how could you accept and forgive a him after what he did to you? 
You see his panic, he wants to run away and you understand why so when he sits up and pushes the covers down with his feet in order to do so you climb over him. He lets out a small gasp as you straddle him, pushing his shoulders down like he couldn’t just lift you up off of him if he really wanted to
“Don’t” you shake your head, a pout on your face
He looks confused “Y/n…” his eyes start to water “Please”
“No” you say firmly, no way in hell were you leaving
For the first time he properly looked at you, you seemed okay, like nothing had ever happened, same bright eyes that held same love as before. You were still his sweet little bunny but he really was the big bad wolf.
In all his years he called himself a monster but deep down he had convinced himself he wasn’t really, that he wouldn’t ever hurt anyone just like his friends and parents said. Now he truly felt like one and he was shamed, utterly destroyed
“Y/n I’m so, so sorry” he breaks down in front of you, his hands moving to clutch onto your own that rest on his shoulders “It’s all my fault, I understand if you hate me, I hate me…I’m a…god I’m sorry” he says pained, tears streaming down his face
You slip your hands out from his tight grip and cup his face “Hey look at me” he shakes his head refusing to look at you “Look at me Remus” he still refuses so you force his face up
He looks at you broken, a shell of himself
“It isn’t your fault” his eyebrows pinch “Listen to me” your hands shift up on his face “It isn’t, you can’t stop what your wolf does on a full moon, you aren’t in control and so it isn’t your fault” 
He just watches you as you continue, hands gripping at the hem of your jumper 
“I went into the forest, myself at night I…don’t” you stop him from arguing “I put myself in that position, not you, not Sirius, me. I should have waited until morning and asked you, but we can talk about what if’s for the rest of our lives. What if you had told me, what if I wasn’t a bunny, what if you were never turned…and in the end Rem none of that will change anything, so none of that, nothing you have or ever do will make me hate you, stop loving you” 
His eyes light at the last part, what kind of love?
“I love you, love you Rem” you answer for him as if you could read his mind
He presses his forehead to yours “I…I love you too” he confesses closing his eyes “Always loved you but you don’t want to be with a guy like me y/n” he pulls back “Even if you aren’t scared of me, which love you should be, I’m not…I’m poor”
“You can be my house husband” you suggest in a light-hearted tone, one that makes his heart flutter, even now you were trying to make him feel better
“I couldn’t have kids” he says sadly
“We can adopt or not have some, we could get a dog but Pads would get jealous” you say and he almost smiles
“I’m like an old man, my bones ache constantly” 
You kiss his cheek “So we’ll need a big bath” you assure him
You were never giving up and he knew that
“I’m littered with scars y/n, they're not attractive, they're ugly, I'm ugly” he says
You shake your head, thinking for a minute before you pulled up the hem of his shirt
“What are you doing?” he says a little panicked, cupping your hands “You don’t want to see them, I don’t want you to see them”
“Please Rem” 
His face contoured before he nods slowly, letting you pull the material over his head, revealing his chest. He watched your face, there was no disgust, in fact you smiled at it like it was the most beautiful thing you had ever seen
His eyes widen as you grip the bottom of your jumper, grips your wrists quickly before you can do what he thinks you’re doing “Y/n” he asks bewildered
You shrug off his hands “It’s okay” you smile at him before taking off your shirt
Remus looks deep into the room and your heart fluttered at how respectful he was being
“Rem please look” you say fingers gently trailing over his jaw and pulling it to face you
His eyes flicked to your breasts first something you noticed and bit your lip at as you could see the blush and scold he gave himself. He then looked down, face filled with hurt as he saw the scars, fingers moving to trail over where they crossed on your stomach
“I’m so sorry” he apologises once again
You take both of his hands in yours making him look up at you “Remus are these…” you gesture to your stomach “…ugly, do they make me ugly?”
He shakes his head right away “No, you’re beautiful, so so beautiful” squeezing your hands tightly, like he was trying to force his love for you through them into you
You smile “Then...” you slip one hand out of his and trace the scars on his chest “...you can’t call these unattractive and ugly because then you are calling me so” 
He lets out a small smile, tilting his head as he looks at you with so much love. How did he managed to find someone as wonderful as you?
“You have no idea how much I love you, appreciate everything you do for me” he cups your cheek with his free hand as his other rubs over your knuckles
“I am pretty great” you admit and he laughs “Although next time you don’t want to go on a date with me, just say, don’t turn into a werewolf and bitch slap me into a tree” you say so playfully and casually he can’t stop the small laugh that sound like a ‘huh’ come out
His nose scrunches up “I shouldn’t have laughed at that” he scolds himself but the smile stays “Why am I smiling, that’s really not funny” he looks at you stunned
You giggle placing a kiss to his nose to which his eyes flick down to your lips and kiss your nose back
“I love you Rem” you say planting a peck to the corner of his lips which he again copies “I’m never leaving you, you’re stuck with this bunny forever, my beautiful” a kiss to the other corner and he copy’s “beautiful” his lips and yours “moon” 
After a few seconds you pull away, remembering "Oh" you smile brightly leaning over and grabbing the jumper "I made you this! Well Lily did but helped, look theres a little moon and a carrot and...mhm"
He pulls you in for a proper kiss, unable to wait anymore, the jumper falling from your grip as your lips moving in sync, making up for all of the almost kisses throughout the years
As you pull apart you lean your foreheads together “My moon” you say with the upmost endearment
“My bunny” he returns it with the same sentiment

Surprise Visit
Tumblr media
Severus Snape x wife! muggle! reader 
[From this list of prompts sent in]
Tumblr media
Summary: Snape’s wife and daughter visit him at hogwarts
Warning: none
A/n: 0.7k words, y/d/n – your daughter’s name, I changed it a bit since this is what I pictured when I first read it
Tumblr media
Navigation | Marauders Era Characters Masterlist
Tumblr media
You were headed through the halls with your daughter who was skipping away, you really didn’t want to bother your husband but when she looked at you with those big bright eyes that were the double of the man you fell in love with you couldn’t refuse her…and she may have tricked you into flooing there 
You had already been to the great hall, well your daughter had when she ran straight in and told everyone that would listen she was Snape’s daughter. To which you had to awkwardly drag her out and go in search of your husband to warn him the entire school now knows he has a child and wife.
As you rounded the corner you saw him and smiled, however in your happiness you failed to stop your daughter from running right up
“Daddy!” she squeals as she reaches him, hugging his legs, causing your husband to freeze whilst talking. His face is a picture though, the look of pure shock when he turns to look down at her then further up the hall to you
“Daddy?” you hear someone in front of your husband say
Your eyes widen that he wasn’t alone so you run up “I’m so sorry Sev” you say reach them “I tried to stop her but you know what I’m like I don’t know how wizardy stuff works and before I knew it she had flooed us here” you cringe cutely at your husband before giving an apologetic smile to the other man you presume is another professor along with a boy that looks like his double
“Sev?” the man starts smirking, eyes flicking from you to your little girl
Your husband closes his eyes for a second, opening them his face softens looking down at his daughter then to you “It’s alright love” he assures but you can tell he’s a little nervous
“Love?” the man says teasingly and you tilt your head at him “Forgive me” he smiles at you “Professor Potter but you can call me James…” your eyes widen, so this was the famous boy that your husband hated and, to your favour, married his first love “…and this is my son, Harry” he introduces the younger boy, who shyly smiles at you but looks strangely at Snape
You knew your husband didn’t speak of his personal life at work and by James’ reaction not even the professors knew you existed, which made sense considering the teasing you were about to witness
“Potter this is my wife y/n and my daughter…” he starts but your daughter butts in
“Y/d/n Snape” she says detaching herself and holding out her hand at the tall man before her
James looks amused “Hello there little Snape” he accepts the hand shake
Your daughter then turns to Harry and her eyes brighten in a way that makes you amused and your husband have yet another minor heart attack
“Hi” her voice is different, softer “What age are you?” she asks
You look at James whose eyes are flicking between the two as are your husbands
“11, I’m a first year” Harry replies with a wary smile, almost as if he's trying to figure out if your daughter is really a ray of sunshine and the polar opposite of her father
You daughter jumps up and down “I’m 10! I’ll be coming next year” she takes Harrys hands in hers “You want to be my friend?” she says excitedly and you watch Harrys eyes soften and melt in a way he wouldn’t understand until he was much older
“Sure” he says, unable to say no to her big bright eyes
Your daughter pulls him to the side asking him a ton of questions while you, James and Severus look between each other, well James and your husband look at each other in a way that says ‘oh please insert what wizards calls god here no’
You turn to a voice “Prongs there ya are we’ve been looking all over for...you...” A ravened haired man approaches with a taller man with scars on his face, the formers words trailing off as he spots the scene “And who might you be pretty” he smirks and the man besides him rolls his eyes
You feel Severus' arm wrap around your waist and pull you into him making you giggle and bite your lip
“This is my wife” he says with such conviction you felt weak in the knees
The twos eyes blow wide, comedically looking between the two of you “I didn’t you were married” The taller one says shocked but a kind smile appears on his face “Did you go to school with us?” he asks, clearly not recognising you
You shake your head “I’m a…what’s it called again sweetie” you look to your husband 
“She’s a muggle” he says and that surprises them more “And this…” again your daughter cuts him off 
“Dad, Harry says he can show me his common room, can please go see it” she pouts at him, blinking with those big eyes “Pretty please” she adds as a cherry on top
He sighs nodding to which she smiles and grabs Harrys hand pulling him along which he gladly follows
The raven-haired man starts chuckling as does the scarred one “I only have one thing to say and that is like father like…”
“Zip it Black” your husband warns and you just laugh
“Fine fine, but you Mrs Snape are coming to lunch with us so we can hear all about your husband and I beg of you spare no details”

Tumblr media
You had one eye on Remus the moment he entered the flat, a frantic look on his face that screamed I’ve done or about to do something rather chaotic. It took him a good minute to realise you were in early, sitting on the couch and quietly reading your book.
His face morphs from manic to giddy the moment he spots you “Hi” he greets stopping just before the couch “Are you in the middle of a sentence or scene?” he asks warily like the sweetheart he is, but when you shake your head he practically pounces on you
“Rem!” you squeal, book long forgotten somewhere nearby as Remus tucks his head into the crook of your neck, arms wrapped around you while your pinned beneath him
“What? Am I not allowed to hug my girl when I miss her?” He asks when he pulls back, tone playful and teasing as he stares down at you
His dementor wasn’t much of a surprise anymore, that shy boy you fancied from afar wasn’t so shy after all. Turned out Remus was more the quiet confident type…well accept when it came to his looks or his condition, but you and his friends were there to help with that. He was, funnily enough, considerably flirtier than Sirius when he got going, his affections and sweetness wonderfully overpowering at times
You giggle “You saw me this morning” you argue, although you had to admit without him around it always felt like you were missing something
He grins leaning down again to litter kisses between his words “And…that’s…too…long” he finishes with your lips
You copy his actions “And…you…are…squishin'…me” your voice laced with giggles
His eyes widen comedically and he quickly sits back on his knees, allowing you to prop yourself up with your elbows
“Sorry bun” he lets out a little chuckle, cheeks tinting
You just smile “It’s okay, I wouldn’t have minded if I didn’t need to pee” you confess, sliding your feet out from between his legs
“You going now?” he asks with a cute little pout on his face
“That a problem?” you wonder with an amused smile, rasing your eyebrows
“Yup. You can’t go” he shakes his head, moving onto his butt and encouraging you to straddle his lap 
"Why can't i go" you cross your arms, not one inch of you annoyed but you play along
"Because I said so...please" he says firmly before adding the purest, quietest 'please' at the end
You do it, his grip so gentle you could easily escape and when you’re settled his hands find your hips. He nudges his nose with yours, before capturing your lips in a slow, sweet kiss
“Did you really need the loo by the way?” he pulls back for a moment, eyeing you
You nod bashfully “Yeah...but I knew I’d get kisses if I didn’t go” you confess and he laughs
“So, you're saying you'd piss yourself if it meant I gave you kisses?” he poses
“No comment” you shift on his lap, in truth you were already holding it in because you wanted to finish the chapter, which meant now you were really afraid you really may pee
“You really need to go, don’t you?” he whispers and you nod “On you go bun” he kisses your cheek
You smile, granting him the same kiss as you climb off of him and beginning to head towards the bathroom when you spot it
“Rem?” you stop in your tracks, half way from the couch to the bathroom, staring at the entrance way
“Yeah bun?”
“Why is there rope and a basket at the front door?” you turn to him
His eyes widen “Fuck!” he stands up “The cat!” half running over to the door and grabbing the items “Pee quick then then come help me”
“One” you hold up a finger “Don’t ask me to pee quick because that’s too much pressure” you finger points towards him then and he can’t help but chuckle at your adorable mad pout “Two, you’re just assuming I’ll help and three…cat?” you shrug looking more baffled than mad now as your brain is trying to do the Remus logic over why he needs rope of all things 
He holds up his own finger, tapping your nose with it at every point causing it to crunch and he to smile at it
“One” tap “I’ve seen you go lighting fast when you’re late for work. Two” tap “Of course you’ll help because you can’t help yourself, the mystery is too great for you to sit out…and three” that tap earns a playful swat from you “I left the window open in the bedroom while I was showering and the cat got in and I may or may not have scared it and now it’s stuck on the little pole thing a couple floors down” he explains quickly and if you weren't used to his rambles you wouldn't have understood a word
“But why do you need rope?” you question 
“Pee” he orders softly, not answering the question and just points to the bathroom door before beginning to step towards your bedroom
“Rem” you call out with a giggle as he leaves through the door
“Just pee bunny I’ll explain in due time” he calls back
You took a second to laugh at your boyfriend. This wasn’t the weirdest thing he’d ever done, in fact you could even argue this was rather mundane to some of the things he got you roped up in back at Hogwarts.
You remembered the first time it happened, not even two minutes into your third date, coming out your common room when you were dragged through the castle, happily dragged of course, but your growing legs were a lot shorter than Remus’ back then.  The reason for your 8am run was Remus had found a new passage during his morning rounds and just had to show you first…which did result in an unhappy dear and puppy when they found out
After that the things just kept getting more chaotic, something which suprised you but didn't hate, in fact you loved and began to welcome the randomness
Tumblr media
You did your business in lighting time and when you entering your shared bedroom you saw Remus flicking the rope upwards and over a pole like he was Indiana jones
“Hi” you greet when you join his side, nudging your head into his upper arm
He turns to you with a smile “Hi bun” he smiles, placing a chaste kiss to your forehead before he holds out the rope without any other context 
“What's this for?” you wonder as you awkwardly accept and hold what you now realise looks like climbing rope
“A pulley system” he says simply as he checks the other end
You were less confused and more mildly concerned at that “A pulley system?” you probe, making sure you heard it right whilst simultaneously entertained
“Yes” he nods, glancing at you 
“A pulley system?” you repeat with more scepticism
“Yes” he glances quickly again, the same sweet voice
You let out a laugh “Rem one of two things are gonna happen with this plan. The first results in both of our deaths, and the second leaves me with rope burn and a dead boyfriend…neither are particularly great” you tell him, a funny kind of smile on your face
He faces you fully, that lovable grin of his in full view “No silly” he scrunches his nose, finger gently flicking down your nose “It’s for the cat” he tells you, holding up basket
Your mouth makes an ‘o’ shape, expression turning bashful as he copies your ‘oh’ before wrapping the rope around one of the basket handle loops, twisting it around the rope before doing the same with the other, making a little cat elevator
“Also…” he eyes you “Rude. I’ve been eating dark chocolate recently…being heathy” he bobs his head voice teasingly mocking yours at the end
“Sorry” you keep one hand gripping the rope while the other wraps around him, head ducking under his arm “So mean of me”
“Terrible” he quips, charmed. Giving you a quick squeeze before pulling away
“How can you ever forgive me?” you say a little theatrically, trying to hold your giggles
“Help me save Arwen” he states, inspecting the rope before dropping it out of the window
“Arwen?” you inquire with a smirk, beginning to lower the basket while Remus pokes his head out the window
“Cute right?”
“Yeah, super cute. Very lord of the rings” you say sweetly, movements haulting as you realise “You already…”
“Bit lower bun…sorry” he interrupts before apologising for the intrusion
You do as he says “That better?” he nods hand curling behind him to signal you to keep going “You already named her?” you ask, continuing lowering it until Remus holds up his hand to stop
“Perfect” he comments clearly watching for Arwen climbing in “Yeah course” he smiles to himself “Bunny?” he calls, tone raising at the end
“Yeah?” you copy it
“You like cats, right?” he asks and you smile, already knowing where he’s going with this
“You want to keep her, don’t you?” 
He blushes, head turning to look at you “Little bit” he admits “Can we?” his eyes turn puppy like, that innocent look paired with those honey eyes is guaranteed a yes and he knows it
“As long as she wants to” you say and his eyes light up, a huge smile taking over his face
“I love you” he declares looking directly into your eyes
Your heart flutters, you know he means it in a I love that you accept how weird I am kind of way but you can't help but tease just a bit
“Because I'm letting you keep the cat?”
“No" he matches your teasing "Oh she’s in” his eyes flick back down, noticing Arwen getting in and he bounces a little on his feet 
Merlin he was so cute
“Rem can you…” you don’t need to finish, he’s alright moving behind you to help “Thanks” you say, slowly pulling up your new fur baby
He kisses your temple “Always” you can feel his smile, cheek settling at the top of your head
“How did you scare her by the way?”
“Ugh” now you can feel his cheeks going pink, the heat radiating off them “I was singing to bowie when I was coming out of the bathroom…with my hair still a little wet and pushed up at the front to pretend I was him and that seemed to scare her” he confesses, needlessly adding the extra details
You press your lips together, holding back your laugh at how cute he is
“Wow...even cats need a warning label for when you're around” you eventually say after composing yourself
“Ha ha” he says nudging his head into yours slightly, more than used to the joke by now
The first time you said it accidently freaked him out, causing him to jump up from your cuddly position ranting about how you knew and leaving you baffled
Let’s just say it wasn’t the way Remus meant to reveal his lycanthropy. Luckily over the years he was able to laugh about it, the term and joke of him needing a warning label used from then as a term of endearment. A way of letting him know how cute and funny you through his chaotic nature was
“I love you too by the way…just in case you didn’t know by now” you tell him, a quaint little smile on your face at you look up and around at him
The smile he wears is beautiful, even after all the countless I love yous it still gets him every time
“Had no clue…maybe you should tell me again” his smile shifts cheeky, one eye on you and the other for the basket
“I love you” you repeat
“One more” 
“I love you dummy” you giggle through it
His mouth drops open “Rude” he scoffs with a little smile
“I love you?” you make it up, words timid and like a question yet somehow firm
He looks at you for a moment
“Forgiven” he says placing a kiss to your nose and forehead before adding a quick "And I love you more"
Your attempt at arguing that he was wrong, that you in fact loved him more, was cut off when the basket appears with the cutest ball of fur poking her head out of it
Yeah...you were definitely keeping the cat

Hermione didn’t hear what her friends were saying, her eyes were focused on you. A few minutes ago, she wouldn’t have batted an eye, but a few minutes ago Cedric and Cho were also there and a few minutes ago that ex puff wasn’t giggling like an idiot and hanging off of your every word
She tried to ignore it, people natrually gravitated toward you. It wasn’t technically possible but you inherited Sirius’ gene for flirtation, pair that with Remus’ soft-spoken side and people were goners…her included. 
She knew deep down you were just chatting and had no reason to feel like this but she was growing a little tired. The girl wasn’t exactly turning down dates right and left but she wondered how you would react if you were in her shoes, what if you had to watch some beautifully sculpted being slobbering all over her…or maybe the next best thing
Hermione wasn’t exactly proud of her next decision but that didn’t stop her pulling her ex up to dance, an ex who she was still best friends with but the way she started dancing with him wasn’t very friendly
“Mione” Ron gently stops her from grinding into him “What are you doing?” he whispers firmly, looking awfully confused
“Making y/n jealous” she admits, turning around to face him arms moving around his neck 
Ron sways with her hesitantly, face softening but the confusion remains as his eyes flick from you, who’s happily talking with some girl, to her. The boy had no idea what his friend was doing, a year ago he would have been killed for this and in truth he would be the first to admit he hated you for a while, but now he was happy for you both, you treated Hermione the way she deserved, far better than he ever did
So what the hell was she doing?
“I thought you two were solid?” 
“We are…but” she huffs “She’s always so flirty Ron. I do love that about her, it's one of the reasons I fell for her. It's just…I want to make her a little jealous because she’s always so unbothered. Like last week this guy asked me out and she was completely unfazed” she argues, growing a little annoyed as she remembered you didn’t even look up from your book, no reaction, none!
Ron's eyes widen, trying not to chuckle 
“Mione I understand being jealous…believe me” he says and she giggles nodding “But this isn’t the way to fix it” he cups her cheek “Just talk to her, I wish I had cause then maybe I wouldn’t have lost you to someone…” he shakes his head “...someone way better suited and so much better for you” he gives her a smile before he drops his hand back to her waist
She sighs, nodding herself 
“I hate when you’re right” she grumbles playfully, igniting more giggles
“It does happen very rarely, must be a blue…moon” his words trail off as he sees you heading up out of the party quickly
“Must be” she giggles but then clocks his expression, looking in the direction he is staring but there’s nothing out of the ordinary “What was it?” she asks turning back
“Y/n left” his eyebrows knit 
A pit forms in the girl's stomach uncoupling herself from Ron 
“Was she alone?” she hated herself for asking, the moment she said it she wanted to punch the little green gremlin in her stomach
Ron gives her a look she can only describe as hitting that gremlin in the noggin “Course she was” he says firmly “She might just be going for more firewhisky or Neville's stash but you should go check on her just in case she did just leave”
She nods, beginning to walk away but turns back to ask “When did you grow up?” 
He chuckles “When I lost you and gained a brain” he jokes light-heartedly, no malice in his voice “Now go get her”
She gives him a smile before making her way through into the hallway, asking some boy if she saw where you went and being told you went through the fireplace
Heading home via the floo network, she was met with a still flat besides a trail of light coming from down the hall. The bedroom. Reaching the door she finds it ajar, light from the room flickering through the small crack. She was about to push it open when she heard it…a sniffle…although it’s more like a whimper?
She slowly leant one ear towards the door checking she heard it right, maybe it was just allergies you didn't know you possessed or a very strange crackle from the fire but it wasn’t and that broke her heart
You rarely cried. Movies? Yes. Bambi hitting pretty hard when she made you and Harry watch it…thinking back that probably wasn’t her smartest moment 
No, tonight trumped that, big time
“Y/n?” she calls out
She hears rustling of sheets then a yip of some kind before it’s followed by a distant swear 
“I’m getting changed!” you say quickly before nothing
Hermione swears she can hear the cringe, more so she can picture it, the little cringle on your nose, the rare yet cute embarrassment flooding your expression…shame it was bittersweet
“That was a terrible excuse wasn’t it?” you ask, an awkward laugh escaping your lips but she can hear the graininess in your voice from crying
“Little bit yeah” she nods even though you can’t see it “Can I come in?”
Please say yes
“Promise you won’t laugh” 
She new that tone, already trying to suppress her laughter
“You know I can’t but I can try” she offers
There's a small silence 
“Okay you…you can come in”
Hermione pushes the door open, pressing her lips together as she sees you sitting on your shared bed, the sheets clearly like you were hiding under them with a blanket covering your figure
“Are you nude?” she inquires but she already knows what happened
You nod, not shyly or really embarrassed more just…well she can’t place it, you had never looked this way before, so timid, so unlike yourself
“You startled me and I forgot to shift back with my clothes” you say quietly, fiddling with your fingers “Actually that's a lie I somehow still have one sock” you stick your foot out of the blanket, wiggling it around
She lets out a quiet giggle “What did you lose this time?” she asks, moving to sit next to you but keeping a little distance in case you didn’t want her there
“Just my shirt and underwear…oh and the other sock” you gesture to your jeans and jacket hanging over the chair “Got tired so I was going for a nap ya see” 
Half of that was a lie
She could see the glistening of your cheeks, painted by tears, stray hairs sticking to them. Eyes puffy, raw almost bloodshot…and still that look she couldn’t place, a look that terrified her
“You go back to the party, I’ll get a good nap in then I’ll be good as new” you say softly, sadly, that usual charm in your voice gone
“Sweets” your face scrunches at the pet name, face tilting away from her “Please look at me” 
You swallow before turning to look, tears brimming your eyes, leg shaking as you plan what to say
“What's wrong?” Hermione wonders, hand moving to cup your now bare knee as you had managed to shrug the blanket off when you showed her your one socked foot and shaking
“Do you still…still want me?” you ask, voice a broken whisper
Her mouth drops open, that expression she couldn’t place was clear now, no wonder she couldn’t read it, you were feeling insecure
“Course I do” she shifts closer, grasping your hands “Why…” she closes her eyes “...sweets it wasn’t like that with Ron, It was just a dance” she tries to explain but you don’t seem to gain any solace from it 
“Not from where I was standing” you quip with a foreign lace of bitterness “You said you were over him, that he’s just your…”
“Friend, he is just my friend” she cuts in, panicking over where this was going, panicking you weren’t looking at her anymore “Y/n”
“Why then?” the tears fall down your cheeks, voice cracking
She cups your cheek, bringing your face around so she can see you properly “I wanted to make you jealous” she confesses, shame evident on her face 
“Jealous?” you shake your head, eyebrows knitting “Am I not giving you enough attention?” 
Suddenly the roles switch, you’re moving to comfort her, thumbs running over her knuckles, face switching from upset and mild anger to sympathy and worry
“You are” she nods “You are” she repeats a little quieter but harder
“You sure? I know I blew off our date last week on the day…”
“Sweets…”
“...so fucking stupid of me to do. George and Fred were setting up their new store and I should have…”
“Sweets”
“...told them to fuck off cause so what if I’m the third own…”
“Y/n!” 
“...er…sorry, so sorry” you take a few quick breaths, re-gaining your composure
“It’s not about the date, I honestly forgot about that and if you recall you took me up a hill to watch the sunset later to make up” 
“Wait so if it isn’t that or…why?” you look a mix of confused and fearful as you wait for the answer
“Would you believe me if I said it was because I was jealous?” she poses 
Now you were perfectly clueless and her heart ached. You had no idea what you had done, completely innocent and she hurt you for no reason…even if she had one nothing merited what she did. You never consciously made her jealous but she did and it was down right cruel now she thought about it
“You were talking to some girl and she was…well you’re so flirty and I was just…I’m sorry” she takes a moment to breathe and you let her, listening sadly “I wanted to get a reaction out of you, make you feel possessive…that's not the right word but just…you don’t ever get jealous, or annoyed when someone makes a move on me and I guess wanted to force it out of you. ”
“You’re wrong” 
“What?” she cocks her head
“You’re wrong, I do get jealous. Very jealous” you shrug “You know how many people talk to me like I’m not your girlfriend? They think because I’m a flirt they can subtly tell me how hot and smart you are as if you’re my single friend and not my girl” you say with clear emphasis on the last part
“Why have you never told me that?”
“I was scared you’d think I was like Ron…sorry” you flinch at your words, apologising
She knows what you mean though and even if you think you've overstepped, given the circumstances you were more than in your right to say it 
“I’m like my dad. I use flirting as a coping mechanism. Everyone thinks I’m this happy, confident person when in reality I have the same…hell sometimes I think more insecurities as everyone else”
“What kind of insecurities?” she inquires, letting you fiddle with her fingers
“I’m a bit of a tomboy for starters. I never cared much at school, I was fine with a pass but sometimes I hear people talking about how you’re dating an idiot…a hot idiot but an idiot” you let out a little laugh as does she “You have this amazing career and I’m so fucking proud of you" you look her in the eyes as you say it, honing in your pride before looking away "I feel like you could do so much better than me…merlin I could be here all night love I mean we haven’t even got onto physical stuff” you motion to your body and she grabs your hand
“You’re beautiful. Do you have any idea how good you dress, tomboy or not everything you wear is sheer perfection. God, I wish I had your style, why do you think I steal your clothes so much? For one they smell like you and two, they are so cool!” she tells you, cupping your cheek “As for my career, all I care about is that we are happy with what we do. Yeah the ministry can be tiring and I want to kill some folks on occasion but I love it, just like you love the shop. Our happiness trumps everything else. I love coming home and hearing about your day because I never know what to expect. You make my life exciting! If anything I’m the boring one...”
“Are not” you argue “Who made you think that? I’ll make sure a damaged shipment gets directed their way” 
She giggles leaning forwards, forehead kissing your own “I’ll give you a list” she says half seriously
Theres a comfortable silence before you pull back, meeting her eyes
“Please tell me next time” you plea “My heart can’t handle that again” 
She presses her lips to your forehead, lingering there for almost a mintue
“I will. It’ll never happen again…never ever” she kisses your cheek “Never” your other cheek 
She continues whispering ‘never’ between each kiss across your face. This goes on for some time. When she finally looks at you you’re smiling, a little bashfully actually and it makes her heart soar
“You missed one more never here” you tap your lips
She pecks them softly but as she parts your hand comes to the back of her head and holds her lips in place, extending the kiss before she can mumble the word
When you finally break apart you flick your thumb across her cheek “I love you and I’m going to tell you every day until you don’t want me anymore”
Hermione's heart flutters, how could she ever believe you would ever stray elsewhere? You looked at her like she was your everything and she was never making that mistake again...because if she did, she really would lose you
“I promise you the exact same. You better get ready because when we're in our 70’s and you forget, that's it, divorce” she jests and you bark a laugh
“Agreed”

You took a deep breath before lifting your hand to knock, but your knuckles barely graze the wood, resolve faltering once more. You had to thank merlin that his flat didn’t have a peep hole, only thing that could make this situation worse was the embarrassment of knowing he saw you standing outside his door for what was quickly becoming a shameful amount of time
It shouldn’t have been this scary, the goosebumps on your arms and legs half from the cold air and half from the reason you came here in the first place. If it had been any other marauder you would have been nervous sure but not near crippled at the door. But this was no normal marauder this was Sirius, he boy that rendered you, an already shy, near mute girl just that completely
You had liked him for a while, that school girl crush you held grew post-hogwarts when yours and Marlene's flat just so happened to be across the street from his, James' and Remus'. The narrow street and similar height of your windows made things a little difficult…little being an understatement considering the amount of bruises you had now sustained via falling and/or launching yourself away from the window when you saw him
“You got this” you whisper to yourself, bouncing on the balls of your feet in order to psych yourself up
One shaky breath later you knocked, letting out a small yip at how loud the first thump was before letting the next two be rather pitiful as if that would make up for it
Silence
You honestly didn’t know if you wanted him to answer, but as you heard some weird creak from down the hall you hoped he would, and soon at that. Marlene was staying with Dorcas tonight as it was their anniversary and Dorcas' flat was closer to the restaurant, while James and Remus were off on a camping trip.
Why exactly? Because Lily and Marlene bet James he could never camp like a muggle for an entire weekend. And as for why Remus was accompanying him? Well, someone needed to vouch James didn’t cheat and actually did it, ergo leaving Remus with the job as Sirius wasn’t trustworthy enough not to lie or find a work around on his friends behalf
You knock again, flinching at the grumpy ‘I’m coming’ before a small crash and swear. Shaking your arm you prepared for him to open the door, not knowing whether to cringe or brace yourself for the one extraordinarily upset puppy you just woke up
“What!” he snaps as quickly as the door opens, breathing heavy and a groggy look about him
His eyes are still half shut when he hears your little squeak, flying open to see you standing in front of him looking sheepish
“Y/n?” his face softens immediately, instead of anger concern now paints his rather chiselled features…
...Not the time y/n...
Out of all the people to show up at his door Sirius never would have expected you, yet at the same time he always hoped you would. It wasn’t that you never came over on your own but more you came to see or talk to anyone but him. It hurt, although it was more of a dull ache now, it had been like this since hogwarts, you and he just never spoke, no matter how much he wished you would
Instead he let himself admire you for afar, that statement made true as he bribed Remus for the front bedroom so he could face yours. He was never a creep, but he did workout by the window, read and do mundane things there just so he may glance up to see you reading, laughing with marlene, maybe dancing around as you cooked…and once falling which was equally concerning and funny to him
“Hi” you give him a shy smile that looks more like a wince, still nervous he’s angry you woke him
His heart ached that he shouted earlier, even if he didn’t know it was you he still felt bad, like the way you step on an animal's tail and can’t begin to explain how sorry you are. Sirius never really felt guilt during his worst pranks, the willow incident excluded of course, so this feeling was foreign, yet it was how he knew you were special, he didn’t just care for anybody
“Hi…” he says quite roughly so he coughs in attempt to remove the scruffiness “Hi” another cough “Hi…fuck it” he lets out a breathy laugh embracing the scruff, even more at your little giggle “What can I do for you darlin?” he wonders, it was late not quite midnight but still late, anything could have happened, you needed him and he was more than here to help
“Well…” your words lose you, although from Sirius’ rough voice, somehow perfect bed head curls and use of the pet name you just adored, you were sure those words where running off to the hills and never to return
“Well?” he extends the syllables softly, not wanting to pressure or scare you away
You chew on your bottom lip, breathing slowly in and out your nose to compose yourself and try to remember the little speech you had planned
“Marlene is out, she’s staying with dorcas and…” you say shaky, nerves overcoming you as this would be the longest conversation you had ever semi held alone with him
He mistakes your nerves for fear though “What happened? Someone try to get in? Something break? On fire? Trust me I’ve dealt with it all…mostly being Prongs as he has a nasty habit of leaving the door unlocked…” he speaks quickly, soon off on his own little ramble, hands subconsciously finding the sides of your upper arms 
“Sirius?” your voice is timid and quiet but it’s enough for him to stop
“Sorry” he shake his head and self out of it “Sorry” he repeats, removing his hands and letting out a edgy chuckle as he scratches the back of his neck “So Marls is at Dorcas'…” he prompts trying his best to stop the blush creeping up his cheeks
Your eyes widen nodding as you begin explaining again “Marlene watched a movie without me last week…” you aren’t looking at him more just in his general area, eyes defocusing so you could concentrate on talking hence you don’t clock his surprise amusement at your first statement “...you see we rented it together but she watched in retaliation to me eating her…sorry” you cut your ramble short much to the boys dismay
“Don’t be, continue” he gives you a sweet smile
You return it bashfully 
“I decided to watch it myself as we need to give it back in a few days but she didn’t tell me it was a horror movie. So now every shadow I see or noise I hear I’m terrified it’s a little…creepy…” you bring your hands to the bottom of your face, wiggling your fingers “...thing coming to get me” you lower your hands, a little embarrassed but his fond smile makes you less afraid to ask “Can I stay here tonight?”
“Yeah” he says a little quickly and loudly causing you to jump “Sorry” he does it again before finally lowering his tone “Sorry. Still a little high from thinking I needed to kick a robbers arse” he plays it off, it was true in a way but he didn’t want to seem way too keen about having you under his roof
“I’m still a little high too…I sort of threw the remote control at a vase and smashed it thinking it was one of those things” you confess as he motions for you to enter and closes the door behind
He walks deeper into the apartment with you closely in tow “No shame in that. Me and Prongs made a fort the first time his parents left us alone, gathered every pillow and cover in the…fuck” he stops causing you to walk into the back of him
“Ow” you whisper as he turns around cringing “What's wrong?” you tilt your head
He scrunches his face “Moons and Prongs’ beds don’t have mattresses” he says almost like an appology
“Oh” you pout “What happened to them?” a small smile gracing your face as if you know the marauders you’ll know it’s something funny
“You can’t tell anyone” 
You hold up your pinky watching as he eyes it. You were about to explain what it was when he grins, wrapping his own around yours and giving it a squeeze before letting go
“Prongs and Moony bought a muggle tent for the bet, but Red and Marls never specified what size nor that the items inside couldn’t be charmed” he smirks and you listen to him entranced “They shrunk down their mattresses and bought an 8 person tent, took all of the covers and everything as Prongs thought a sleeping bag was uncivilised and Moony…well Moons’ back would break if he had to sleep on the ground like that” he chuckles
“That's really smart” you commend them, knowing pretty quickly it was Sirius’ idea by the way his happy grin turns prideful
“Thank you” he bobs his head, heart fluttering that his crush found him smart “Actually there is a spare mattress, we got it after the…” his words slow down “...you don’t wanna know” he shakes his head
You nod a little wary, following him into his bedroom and watching him look for the spare. You had never been inside his room, Remus’ loads since you, Lily and he would host your secret book club there, and even James’ once or twice. It was nice, smelt just like him, posters on the walls, clothes scattered about here and there but nothing too untidy
“Do you have a spare quilt too?” you ask causing him to stop raking and turn to you
“Yes” he nods but something flashes behind his eyes
“Yes?”
“Yes?…” his repetition is less certain “...No?” 
“No?”
He gives you a look somewhere between sad, embarrassed and weirdly proud “We used them to make a fort in the study so me and prongs could nap in our forms. They’ll be covered in hair…and probably drool…Prongs' drool’” he says firmly but the blush on his face tells you it’s not just prongs and you can’t help but feel your lips tug upwards at the image
You face then drops to a look of thought but before you could speak he does
“You can have my bed I’ll sleep in the little fort as Padfoot” he offers, ensuring your comfort came first
You start nodding but as he goes to leave you stop him “Wait…” you don’t finish your thought though
There were two perfectly good beds in your flat, you could offer them but a selfish little part of you wanted the idea that just sprung to mind “You once said that sleeping like that for more than two hours... fucks your back” you quote him on the last bit
Sirius’ face goes through a mixture of positive emotions that you remembered that tiny group conversation from well over a month ago as well as the fact you swear so sweetly it's almost not even one at this point
“That doesn’t leave us many options” his eyes flick to his bed then to you, as do your own, both thinking the same thing
“It’s a decent size” you note rather awkwardly
He chuckles “It is a decent size, average” he gestures to the air as awkwardly as you do before meeting your eyes “Little bigger than average actually” he says raises his eyebrows, underlying tone beneath h words
You cock your head in confusion before you get it, mouth like a fish before you press your lips together, trying to suppress your smile, cheek rising.
Sirius’ felt quite proud at that, especally as you were quite clearly flustered yet not looking uncomfortable, if anything your shoulders relaxed
Neither of you say anything else, instead moving to get into the bed, both fixing your pillows before you notice one final detail
“Single quilt?” you lift up the end Sirius places over you
He smiles coyly “Fake answer or real answer” he lets you choose, usually he would spout the fake one but you were you, he didn’t mind you knowing the truth
“Fake first” you ask and he obliges
“Cheaper and they only had a single at the shop” he says simply as you both shift under the cover, a healthy distance between your shoulders as you stare at the ceiling
“And the real one” you look over at him
He glances at you then keeps his eyes fixed to the ceiling, looking embarrassed as his answer is by any definition sadly sweet “A single encourages cuddling, something I really want but will never ask for cause I’m…I’m too scared” he admits, not daring to look at you to see your reaction, you probably think he’s a…wait
He feels you lift his arm, head snapping down to watch you slide in next to him, arm coming around his torso as your head settles above in the small space between his upper arm and chest
“Is this okay?” you check, even though you're sure his previous answer was an invitation...or at least you hoped it was
He doesn’t answer, just wraps his arms around you, tugging you impossibly closer and igniting some giggles from you. He eventually lets up his tight grip, your head on his chest with his chin brushing against your hair
“Why have we never really spoken to one another?” he whispers, the sorrow evident in his voice
Your head shifts upwards to you can see him, looking down at you with characteristic puppy eyes and you remain silent for a moment, thinking your reply through
“I’m quite shy…” you start “...back at Hogwarts you merely looking at me made me so…so flustered” you confess, eyes flicking away from him, missing how his own light up “I couldn’t even make a sound. Now, although I’ve gotten better I guess I supposed you wouldn’t be interested…in talking to me” you add in after a small break in order to save yourself from rejection
He gently rocks you closer and you return your eyes to his “I was very interested…in talking to you” he plays the same trick
“Really?”
“Really”
“Me?” you bring your hand up to point and he could've died right there at how cute you looked, eyes wide filled with hope, disbelief and everything he'd ever craved
“You” slides his arm from your waist, taking your hand and kissing the palm, lingering there as his eyes say fixated on you, and that was the moment you died and gone to the sweet hereafter
“Are you free tomorrow?” he asks, letting your hands intertwine before bringing them to his heart
You nod, heart thumping and you’re sure he can feel it as his is doing something similar
“Want to go on a date with me?” you nod again, a huge smile on your face “Sure? You don’t seem too eager” he teases, confidence returning now he knows you want him the same way
“Very sure” you can’t stop your smile from getting wider, nor your faces moving that little bit closer as you’re caught up in the excitement
He chuckles “We could make a day of it if you want? I have the bike” he suggests 
“What are you thinking?” you ask, eyes sparking as your faces continue to move closer
“Maybe to the peak district or the dales where some of those books you love are set? Maybe bring a picnic with us. With the bike we can get there in like a couple hours never any traffic up there” he jokes, cheeks going a little red as he realises how he just gushed, but the embaressement fade as your nose brushes over his  
“How long have you been…umm” you whisper, unable to finish as you didn’t want to assume
“A lot longer than I’d care to admit at present”
You both giggle
“You aren’t what I imagined'' you say when the laughter dies down and his head tilts ever so slightly “You know when you imagine someone in your head, and you tell yourself there is no way they would really be this sweet, especially not to me?” you think out loud
“More than anything” he replies, eyes meeting your own and occasionally your lips
“You more than exceeded my wildest dreams” you tell him, adoring how his eyes shine like the star he’s name after
“Ditto darlin’” he winks and chew on your lip, holding your smile as you watch his eyes drift down to it, lingering before the come back up “You should know that I’m putty in your hands…I’d do whatever you asked of me, and not even within reason I'd really do anything” he laughs as do you
“Anything?” 
“Anything” he nudges his nose with yours
“Kiss me”

“Pete…Wormtail” you correct yourself causing James to chuckle “Is gonna kill us when he finally weasels away from that puff” you cringe giggling softly
“Probably but let’s not mention this to Re…Moony just yet. He got the good chocolate yesterday and he won't give us any if finds out what we were using our new abilities for today”
You giggle nodding “That’s if he and Siri leaves us any…what?” you eye your friend
“Nothing, just cute you call him Siri” he mocks you and that earns him a playful shove
“Fuck off” you whine “He’s my boyfriend now…oh my god Jam…Prongs” you jump up and down “Sirius Black is my boyfriend!” you say excitedly, still in disbelief that you and he were really together
James lets out a laugh “Hell yeah he is” he wraps his arm around you “I’d say you’re a lucky gal but let’s face it he’s a lucky man…dog…pup?”
You and James are in fits of giggles as you enter the boy’s dorm, but they fizzle out when greeted with Remus on his bed looking a little worried
“You okay mate?” James asks while your eyes search the room for Sirius
“Where’s…” you start only to hear the sound of retching coming from the bathroom “Is that?” you look towards Remus
When he nods you run through into their bathroom, finding Sirius hunched over on the floor, turning to look up at you as you close over the door behind you
“Darling please go wait outside…” he sucks in a breath “…I don’t want you to see…” he can’t hold it in, turning to continue throwing up in the toilet, hands clutching the edges of the bowl, knuckles turning white
You quickly move next to him, pulling his hair from his face and holding it back with one hand “I’m not going anywhere” you kiss his temple
His breathing is heavy when he finally stops and looks back up at you, face chalk white “Still fancy me?” he jokes
You nod “Very much…but I’m going to kiss your forehead because well…” you scrunch your nose and bob your head, making him chuckle as you kiss his hair line
“Don’t blame you darlin” he shifts back onto his butt and as you let go of the make shift pony tail you shuffle over to wrap your arm around him
“You feeling a bit better now pup?” you test the waters with the nickname, heart fluttering as his ears literally pick up at it
He gives you a lazy toothy grin “Call me that again?” he sucks on his bottom lip for a moment
“Call you what?” you reply coyly, grabbing a spare hand towel and wetting it
He huffs at that
“Don’t tease me when I’m sick” he pouts, arms hugging himself
You cup his jaw “I’m so sorry puppy” you smile at his giddy reaction as you gently wipe the sick from the corners of his mouth and chin
“You should be a nurse” his hand gently caresses your knee “Everyone would fancy you” 
You shy away at the complement, placing the towel up and over the sink “Would they now?” 
“They would, almost as much as I do” he scoots closer to you, head nudging into your armpit like he’s trying to get you to move, humming when you lift it up and slither it around his shoulders
“What happened?” your free hand goes to his stomach “Just a tummy bug?” you kiss his hair
He shakes his head “I think I have an incline…well a theory based off of a joke Re…Moony made” he lets out a nervous chuckle and you can feel his cheeks heating
“What would that be?” you lean forward to look at him, pressing your lips together as you are meet with your boyfriend’s big beautiful puppy eyes “Sorry but before you tell me” you bring your hand from his stomach to his cheeks and squish them “You’re so pretty puppy” you tease softly before retracting your hand
His cheeks are pink but his eyes let you know he fricking loved that
“I am your pretty puppy” he nods sincerely before his eyes widen mouth opening and closing as he grows flustered “D-did…I said that out loud, didn't I?” he closes his eyes
“You did” you place a kiss to his nose and he opens his eyes “I kinda like you like this” you confess
“I kinda like me like this too” he admits “Don’t tell…”
“My lips are sealed” you pretend to lock them 
He smiles thankfully at you before his face contorts
“You going to be sick again?” 
He shakes his head “No just tired and I have a headache now” 
“You wanna lie down?” you offer "We can cuddle?"
“In a bit darlin the tiles are cold and my arse feels nice right now” 
You giggle but nod at his reasoning, gently rubbing his lower back before he removes your hand and places the other around to the front
“So what is the theory?” you circle back to the cause of his sickness
“You remember when R...Moony made a joke about you walking around eating a raw carrot out of the blue like that bunny from those muggle cartoons?” you nod slowly “Well what if I’m sick because dogs aren’t supposed to have chocolate?” he poses
Your eyes widen, sitting back a second as it processes in your mind. It made perfect sense, no wonder Peter loved cosy blankets and little nooks to sleep in now, why you and James had suddenly started eating anything green, why Sirius was acting like a puppy at times
…like how you were currently giving him a belly rub...
“I think you’re right” you let out a tiny giggle “Aww puppy” you coo, taking his hand in when he seems upset
“Can’t believe I need to give up chocolate” he sulks “Fucking stupid...this is karma I swear for raiding his stash so often...what am I going to eat now”
You did find his pouting and complaining rather adorable
“Maybe we can find you a stick to replace it with” you tease
He scoffs “You’re mean” he lets out the smallest of chuckles
“You’re laughing”
“Am not” he tries to supress his smile and laughter but fails “Fine” he caves “But seriously why does the idea of a stick to chew on sound so appealing?” he whispers 
You bite back laughter
“If you want tomorrow when you're feeling better we go to the forest and I can throw one for you to fetch” you offer
“100% serious?” he checks, making sure this isn't a joke
You nod “100% you yes” you giggle, more so as he hugs you tightly
“Merlin I’m so happy you’re my girl, no one else would understand or put up with me”
Tumblr media
Meanwhile in the next room
Tumblr media
“Why are you smiling?” James eyes Remus, a small smile on his face at his friend’s ecstatic look
“You remember when I was totally against you lot becoming animagi?” he replies, almost doing a little dance 
“Yeah?” James extends the syllables
“I’m not as mad anymore” he says, eyes flicking to his chocolate stash

“Stupid game” you mutter lowly, arms crossed as you sat on his bed, the game wasn’t over but you were losing and merlin did you hate that with a burning passion
Remus tilts his head, looking up at you from the board
“What love?” he pretends he never heard but of course he did, wolf hearing and all, but he still played along
“Nothing” you shake your head, wearing that adorable little pout of yours “Make your move” 
He knew you were mad, but merlin was is just so damn cute and a tad ironic. He was usually the grumpy one while you were just a ray of sunshine, but when it came to you losing, the roles were reversed
“So you only get one die because you…”
“I only have one little solider man I know Rem” you snap so cutely he can’t even get annoyed, in fact he tries his best not to laugh
You both roll the dice, Remus getting two fives and you a…
One
You let out a little huff knowing you just lost your only foothold in Africa, readying yourself to play again when Remus’ places his cards on the board
“Sorry love that was the last thing I needed” 
Remus could see the fury in your eyes, trying your best not to flip the board and instead you just pull your legs to your chest
“Good game” you tell him, like you had a gun to your head, so forced he’s nervous you may combust
“Thanks” he grins
He was also competitive, hence why he never let you win as he knew you wanted your actual wins to be completely real. Although, when he did lose he never pouted like you did, but maybe that was because it happened so rarely 
“You want to stay the night?” he asks whilst packing up the game
“Yeah” you say softly, lugging yourself off his bed and over to his dresser
Remus smiled but his heart ached just a tad, you had now gone from mad to just sad at the loss, the little pout never leaving. He watched you take out some clothes before not so quietly shoving the drawer shut
“Need help?” he places the game’s box down on the floor and scoots down the bed, legs resting either side of your standing figure
You pout harder somehow and he chuckles
“I can dress my…don’t laugh” you chuck the clothes behing him on the bed, hands moving to your hips
“I’m not laughing” he lets out one last chuckle “Final one” he bites down in his lip to prevent his grin
“You’re mean” you cross your arms glaring at him
“I am so mean” he concurs wholeheartedly, hands gently slipping under your untucked shirt, thumbs caressing where your skin and bottoms meet
“You cheated”  
“I cheated so hard” he nods again, feeling your body relaxing
“I let you win” your arms fall to your sides
“Of course and I am terrible” he smiles shaking his head
“So terrible” you mutter
“Very terrible indeed” he confrims whislt gently encouraging you onto his lap
“And mean” you add
“Double mean” he pursues his lips as he agrees
“Good” you give a nod, finally running out of things to say
“Good. Now that’s settled, wanna give your victor a kiss”
Remus smiles to himself at your glare, watching as you say completely silent for almost a minute. Yes maybe he was a bit of a meany but he just found this side of you so amusing
“Prick” you maintain your annoyed look but his constant loving smile makes it difficult
"I can see you smiling" he points to your lips
"Am not" you grumble, trying to harden your pout but your tugging lips makes it obsolete
"You're cracking" he sings, looking so happy with himself
"No" you breathe out, shaking your head quickly
"Come on bunny, grace me with that smile of yours"
Damn him for using that petname
“I hate you” you say with a smile, giving up and letting it engulf your features
“I hate you too” he lies, pecking your smiling lips and loving how it widens
You shuffle closer to him on his lap, your hands resting on his chest, fiddling with his undone tie
“I don’t hate you…I love you quite alot” you say, making sure to say it vocally just in case "More than a lot"
“I know…” he nudges his nose with yours “…I love you too by the way, even if you’re a sore loser”
The pout is back but it’s more like a scrunch due to your smile 
“Can I hate you just a lil bit?” you hold up a small space between your thumb and forefinger
“Yes, but only if you give me a kiss first” he bargains
You ponder it for a minute
“Two kisses” you look at him with confidence
“You are a terrible negotiator" he laughs "When we're older you are never going to the farmers market yourself” he tells you leaning in but only to be stopped by your finger pressing against your lips
“Farmers market?”
He nods, cupping your cheeks and squeezing them ever so slightly “Yup, we are going to be that couple. Live in a little cottage, have a garden to grow food for my hungry bunny" he teases and you giggle "And once a month we will go to the farmers market where I will haggle for us and you will stand there hanging off my arm as my pretty” he pecks your lips “pretty” and again “bunny” once more
“That sounds perfect Rem…” say as he pulls away, hands gently wrapping around his wrists, your soft smile morphing into a cheeky grin “…but that was three kisses and I feel ripped off” 
He lets out a laugh at that before placing his hand to his chest “My deepest and sincerest apologises. That was so selfish of me my love” 
“Very selfish” you giggle
“How can I make it up to you?” 
“Rematch?”

Navigation | Sirius Black Masterlist
Tumblr media
You were on the couch, a huge bowl in your lap as you were entranced in the television like you were some little kid. Technically you were in a way, being 19 and only just having access to this wonder after you and Regulus caved to the pressure of buying one.
You jumped when you heard a knock at the door, before giggling, it must have been Regulus forgetting his keys again, or maybe James coming to borrow steal something. 
Placing the bowl down and flicking off the blanket which was draped over your bare legs, you shuffled in your fluffy socks and oversized t shirt to the door. Twisting the little handle of the auto lock thing, which as a clueless pureblood still baffled you, you open the door
“Finally” 
You hear a voice but not just any voice, Sirius
You smile widely
“Hi! I thought you had work today, Reg mentioned some kind of seminar with Marlene?” you ask beyond happy, now you and he could cosy up and watch muggle tv all day
He lets out a chuckle, leaning on the door frame
“Nah that was a lie. Marls is covering for us if either of them phone though” he replies, briefly looking at you to wink before his gaze drifts back down to your legs, licking your lips while you smile to yourself
Very few people knew of your relationship. Pandora and Marlene being the select few, as both of your brothers wouldn’t be too happy about it.
James didn’t like Sirius even play flirting with you let alone actually dating you, often making not so minor threats to him about it. While with Regulus, you played an important part in his and Sirius' reconcile, which then lead to him running away to live with you the summer after Sirius did, hence he didn’t want to lose his best friend to his brother nor have anything that could rip him away from wither of you. 
These views were a little old of course, you noticed James didn’t seem to worry at all about you and Sirius when his flirting slipped out or he saw you and he alone, and Regulus was the same. The two of them even growing to be friends themselves. Yet all of that wasn’t enough for you and he to reveal your relationship just yet
“You look hot” Sirius comments, pushing off of the doorway and letting his hands trail to your bare thighs, pushing up the fabric so he can find your hips
“I haven’t washed in like three days”
You really should have expected this outcome, maybe you did and that’s why you said it, but you still giggled like you were back at Hogwarts when he pulled you through into the bathroom
Tumblr media
You were kneeling behind Sirius as he sat at the end of the bed, towels wrapped around your bodies as you gently brushed the cream through his hair. You then took forming clumps and finger rolled them, gently shaking them to ensure each clump formed perfectly.
You hear him sigh as you made your way around his head, taking your time as neither of you had anywhere to be. He loved it when you did his hair, especially since you could do the back easily for him. Safe to say the curls were just sheer perfection when you did it. 
You shift off of the bed, leaning down in front to do his bangs
“Almost done puppy”
Sirius’ eyes flicked from your face to your chest, smirking as he could see the towel beginning to slip. However, instead of letting it like he would have when you were younger he gently fixes it. His smirk softening into smile as he sees you bite back your own happy grin and merlin did he just love that sight more than any other
“Do I look pretty?” He asks when you pull back
You nod, lifting the bottom of your towel so you can straddle his lap
“Pretty as a poodle” you quip, giggling at the priceless look on his face
“Take that back” he grips your towel clad hips, pulling you in, nose almost brushing yours in a playful challenge
You shrug “What’s wrong puppy, you prefer to be a…” you think of funny dog names, eyes lighting as you find one “…cockapoo?” You blink innocently at him
“Cockawhat!” He exclaims, his angry pout melting into a confused amusement, chuckles escaping his lips 
“It’s a kind of dog” you explain like it’s obvious “A girl in my dorm had one”
“Well that explains it...Hufflepuffs are weird” he says casually
Now it was your turn to pout “What’s that supposed to mean?” You cross your arms
Sirius eyes flick down before returning to your face
“Hufflepuffs are a little strange is all”
He shrugs and you eye him
“Okay fine. How many times did you, Pandora and Reg have to save Amos and Alex from some kind of strange disaster that no one would ever realistically believe happened? Or those gals in your dorm, one has a cockadog…”
“Cockapoo”
“It's Cockaweird…” you giggle at that “…anyway that other one, she once asked in class if having sex with an animagus made you a furry…”
“But you aren’t a dog all the time…” you see Sirius’ face “…oh shit no way!” you begin laughing, but you didn't know if it was amusement or horror
“Yeah way, so come on admit it Hufflepuff are naturally a little bit weird”
“Am I weird?”
“Yeah, in the best way” he pecks your lips, and again, and again until you pull back looking thoughtful “You just had a weird thought, didn’t you?”
You nod shyly “Can I?” You ask and he nods “Is it still a ‘furry’ if it doesn’t have fur?”
Sirius opens his mouth then stops himself “You think there’d be another name for it” you shrug “Maybe co…” 
“Sis” you hear James’ voice waver like a question “You in?”
“Fuck”
“Shit”
You and Sirius curse looking around your room
“Closet?” You half suggest whilst ushering him in and calling back to James “Yeah two minutes just out the shower!”
He turns and places a hand to your chest stopping you
“Cold in here?” he says slyly before hearing a huff from you “Not the time I know" he removes his hand but not without one final squeeze “I’m not going in the closet again, I was in there for 3 hours last time and it’s too small to stand and I fucked my back” he pouts
“You got a back rub out of it…and other kinds of…” he tilts his head at you “Not the time” you shake your head
Sirius looks around the room. Window? In a towel during the middle of November in Scotland? Nope, things would certainly freeze off. Bed? Lump in the covers would be too obvious? Under? Certainly, nicer than a cramped closet...
A small crash comes from the next room
…under the bed it is
“What are you doing?” you ask, watching as Sirius lowers himself into a push up position “Siri you’re at the wrong side of the bed for that to work” you place your hands on your hips
He just gives you a ‘really’ look before beginning to shuffle under the bed, receiving an ‘oh’ from you which he mocks
“Yeah oh…fuck me” he manages to get under but the towel has slipped off “Darling can you hand me the…”
“Sis you okay?” 
James’ voice leads you to just pick up Sirius’ towel and throw it over onto the laundry basket
“Darlin!” Sirius hisses
You give him an apologetic look
“Sorry” you murmur quickly before quickly ridding yourself of your own towel and wrapping a robe around yourself
Exiting your bedroom you find James standing looking a little flushed, standing awkwardly in the middle of the room when you felt a breeze
“Did you open that” you gesture to the window
He nods “I was a little warm, I just got back from a…run” he explains quickly,
He does sound out of breath and his face rather flustered. Lips a little pump as he runs his fingers over them, squishing the upper of his lips together, weird
“So what you doing here?”
“What are you doing here?” he evades the question which makes you think he’s up to something, you just don’t know what
“I live here? Unless you forgot or are so tired you forgot that your apartment is one floor up” you say a little snarky, your teasing little sister tone more than evident
He rolls his eyes “I know but you were supposed…why aren’t you at work?”
He swiftly corrects himself, further letting you know he was probably here to steal food or maybe your little aerial for the tv after Sirius sat on theirs…okay you and he destroyed it during certain activities but no one needed to know that
“I switched my days off this morning with Barty so he can have Friday off for his anniversary” you tell him “So now we’ve settled why I am in my own flat, on my day off. Why are you in my flat, on my day off, when you are not off?”
“My meetings got cancelled and then I went for a run and now I am here to…borrow a jumper”
“A jumper?” 
“A jumper” 
You eye your brother, he certainly wasn’t coming here for a jumper. However, considering he was near the kitchen window you were certain his real goal was to steal the crispy dumplings Reggie had made for lunch earlier, the ones James just couldn't get enough of. Regulus even spend an entire night last week up in their flat teaching him, which was great as it meant you and Sirius got alone time…suckers
“What kind of jumper?”
You play along, really you should have just let him have the food but you honest to merlin wanted to see how far James would go to cover his arse
“One of the ones mum got us for the holidays last year. You see I lost mine and I was going to charm yours and steal it since she loves you more hence wouldn’t get mad at you for losing it” he explains with a charmed smile
He is good. Too good. So good that this was probably something he was planing on doing anyway and so you let him get away with it, hoping karma would be kind to you in the long run as you nodded and let him into your room
“Closet?” James asks and you hum in agreement
Meanwhile Sirius was playing with one of the muggle rubix cubes you had thrown under there in rage, turning the piece quietly as he chilled out and deciding that the bed was definitely the best hiding place. It appealed to him, and later he would realise this was just another one of his Padfoot traits…which he would certainly and secretly indulge in again
“Get it?” You wonder before it hits you
The jumper is in a small storage box under the bed
“Nope” he sighs “Maybe it’s in the dresser?” He asks
“No I think it’s under the bed...don’t worry I’ll get it you just sit down”
Now it was your turn to be a little manic, merlin were the Potters terrible liars when it came to their loved ones…although at any other time that would arguably be a good trait
You get on your hands and knees, looking under the bed and letting out a little giggle that James thankfully does hear as you remember Sirius is completely naked and is cutely playing with a muggle toy
‘Fancy seeing you here’ he mouths, merlin he even made this flirty, that was until James plopped himself on the bed and almost crushed him ‘please hurry’ he mouths, face recoiling at the budge above him in the mattress
You quickly grab the box and pull it out, giving Sirius’ arse a little pinch before retreating from under the bed and opening the box
“Here” you say as you find it, placing it on the bed next to James “Now leave” 
He places his hand over his chest, standing up with the jumper in hand
“Love you too sis” he acts upset
“Yeah yeah love you too but I was in the middle of something” you usher him out of your room and through the apartment
He just chuckles at you “What exactly were you….aww…eww sis” he makes a disgusted face “You really need to get yourself a partner”
You open the door
“Fuck off Mr never been kissed after the girl I was pinning over turned out to be gay, and…” you mirror his face “…I don’t even wanna know why your brain went there” 
“My brain works in be it weird ways but one, it took you a too long come out earlier, two, you are clearly hiding something cause your voice is up an octave, and three, you are clearly hiding toys under your bed and that’s why you didn’t want me to…”
“Out” you physically push him whist he laughs at you
“Hold up…” he stops the door from closing “Dinner tonight at mine? I already called Regulus and Pads…well Marlene but she’ll let him know. You in?”
“Yeah sounds good but bye bye now bye bye” you wave at him, closing the door and locking it
You sighed in relief
Relief increasing as Sirius' arms wrapped around you from behind, kissing begining to pepper your neck
“He is right though?” he whispers in your ear as he starts to unravel your robe
“About?” you extend the syllables, hand moving to gently graze his upper thigh
“You do keep your toys under the bed”
Tumblr media
You and Sirius climbed the steps to his and James' flat, you with a container of fried rice and veggies along with Sirius with the noodles he and James preferred.
You were reaching for the door when Sirius stopped you
“Everything okay?” you ask quietly, fingers coming up to graze his hairline
His eyes briefly flutter close at the contact “Yeah it’s just…” he takes a breath “I want to tell them” he confesses
Your eyes widen in surprise but you would be a liar if you said you hadn’t been considering it lately 
“Sneaking around, it’s tiring, fun…but it’s exhausting” he takes his and in yours “I mean I know we have a love hate relationship with it. Sneaking has a thrill to it, and even now I still love sneaking glances and touches and kisses”
He pecks your cheek
“But hiding in the closet or under the bed…actually I need to talk to you later about the latter…” he says and you tilt your head with an amused look “Not a sex thing” he says quickly before looking in thought “no…not a sex thing” he confirms and you giggle
“Continue” you prompt, squeezing his hand
“What I’m trying to say is I want to be able to tell you that you look beautiful without hiding it in some stupid overly flirty line, be able to kiss your cheek and hold your hand when ever I want...because when are forced to sit apart it kills me”
He pulls you a little closer until your respective glass tubs cling
“I know they may kill us, well...kill me cause let’s face it you’re an angel” he smiles, the compliment entirely genuine “One is your brother and the other is your best friend, and that best friend is my brother and I’m fucking his best friend. But that’s the thing it’s always, always been more than fucking with us. Yes, I love the fucking but I also fucking love you too…” he starts to cringe “I’m saying fucking too much, aren’t I?”
“Yes, you fucking are, but also yes we should fucking tell them” you say softly and sweetly
“And this is why I fucking love you” he pecks your lips before letting go of your hand “Into the lion-ey snake pit?” he shrugs
"Idiot"
"Your idiot"
Walking in you and Sirius are quickly greeted by Regulus and James, both looking nervous themselves but you were too focused on your own news
Eventually you were all seated and eating, when James spoke up
“We have to tell you something” he starts but Sirius takes this is yours and his opportunity instead, cutting in gently
“Actually, I have something to say first, if you don’t mind” he asks to which James nods quickly and Regulus almost looks relieved “Back at school, more specifically the summer before mine and your final year prongs”
James and Regulus look a little pale but neither you or Sirius really register it
“The first full summer with Reggie, I used to be up a lot at night…”
“We can…” James begins
“...because I was sneaking out of our room Reg and in to y/n’s” Sirius confesses
“Wait…what?” your brother looks bewildered 
“You two…” Regulus motions between you both, face similar to James’ "What?"
You and Sirius take each other’s hands “I know it’s a shock” you say
“That’s one way of putting it” James says, sharing a look with Regulus “How long?”
Sirius rubs circles over your knuckles “Since then, first it was just talking but then one night it turned into more” he answers with a wince, ready for James to launch over the table as he’s practically confirming he’s shagged his best friends’ little sister
“You love each other?” James asks while Regulus remains quiet, like he’s forming his own questions
You both nod
“Very much” you give your brother a smile, which again he surprisingly returns “Reggie?” you turn to your best friend
He’s wearing a small smile too “You said you snuck out of our room back home?” he shakes his head a little confused, quetion pointed at Sirius
“Well I used to put a pillow version of me in and sneak back in around like seven in the morning…sometimes later like eight or nine actually because we always slept in over summer” Sirius explains
Regulus nods a little strangely “eight/nine huh?” he turns to James “Not three, or four…even five…but eight/nine” he says with a tone neither you or Sirius can discern
“You’re not mad?” you half blurt out, scaring them out of whatever that was
James shakes his head “No…I mean I’m trying not to read too much into things that are all making sense now” he chuckles nervously, clearly remembering earlier in a different light “But also now know why Sirius has never brought anyone home, or why you never dated” he says with a smile “I’m fine with this”
“Me too, you shouldn’t have to hide who you love…” Regulus says a little sadly but wears a smile “…Thanks for telling us, I know we used to be annoyed about the idea when you were all flirty but I get how hard it must be for you”
You and Sirius share a look, both of you so happy it’s went well...of course, after resuming dinner and answering more questions. suspicions swarmed you both
“Darlin?” Sirius shifts on the couch, voice low so only you can hear whist your siblings wash up
You give him a smile “Yeah?” your hand cups his
“They took that...they took that a little…”
“...too well” you finish nodding "Way too way"
You both sit for a minute before you see Sirius tilting his head a little looking a little uncomfortable
“You want me to put your hair up?” you ask, pulling up your sleeve revealing the little yellow scrunchie that you used to wear back at school which he has since stolen
He nods, shifting around on the seat
“Thanks Darlin”
“Wait…” you say finishing his little bun and letting him turn back “…before you revealed we were together Jamie said ‘we can’ before stopping himself”
Sirius’ eyes widen
“Like he was going to say 'we can explain'…” he glances at Regulus and James, as do you, both of you noticing how smoothly the work around each other “No way” he shakes his head “No way” his mouth drops open realising
You turn back to each other “This afternoon” you pat his leg before quickly fixing the front of his air, pulling down the little strands to frame his face the way he liked “Jamie sounded off, he was all flushed and lying about being on a run…and his lips were a little swollen” your noses wrinkle “Oh Helga”
“Godric” he corrects
“Not the time” you nudge him and he chuckles, kissing your cheek “Reggie…actually can you do that once more” you tap your cheek, loving the new-found freedom of pda
He does it again and throws in a peck to the nose for good measure
“Siri the window was open, and Reggie said he forgot to make the dumplings so I think he climbed out of the window…”
Sirius’ lets out a single laugh that sounded more like a ‘huh’
“That’s a tough climb” he muses, looking pretty impressed at his brother for a moment before he just looks confused “Fuck my brain is going to explode”
“Ditto to that” you lean into him “They must have been together as long as us”
“Merlin we were both so worried about the them finding out we never noticed they were doing the same…merlin” his arm comes around you “We need proof before we talk to them though. Just in case we’re just reading too far into this”
“Definitely” 
“You think your mum knows that her real and adoptive kids where all shacken’ up?”
You gasp
“Siri I can’t believe you just said that” you gawk at him
“Am I wrong?” he tilts his head
You mouth and close your mouth “Well no…” you giggle as does he “You think Reggie made a fake him and you never noticed?” you wonder
“We are brothers and share way more in common that I first thought so yeah, I think so” he agrees “You know what’s more shocking” 
“What?”
“How the hell we not realise they were at least bi” he shakes his head “Merlin my gaydar has a Prongs and Reg sized blind spot”
You both giggle quietly, cuddling deeper into one another yet are still aware of your siblings you are locked in their own discussion 
“You know in 4th year at a Slytherin party Reg invited me and Pans to, he managed to convince me I imagined him kissing Evan” you poke your cheek with your tongue “I knew I wasn’t that drunk”
Sirius laughs and was about to respond when you see James and Regulus approach, both wearing coats 
“We’re gonna head out to get some dessert, you fancy anything in particular?” your brother asks
You and Sirius shrug
“We’ll have whatever you’re having” Sirius replies
“Great, we’ll be back in a bit then” Regulus gives you both a big smile, as does James before they swiftly head out
When the door closes you turn to each other 
“Window?”
“Window” 
Running through to Sirius’ room you climb up onto the upper window via Sirius’ bed and wardrobe, flicking off the lights to ensure your siblings couldn’t see you both spying
“Oh” you point and tap on the window “Oh Siri they’re holding hands” your hands move to cover your mouth
Even Sirius’ eyes get glassy at how sweet James and Regulus look as a couple
“Well there’s our proof” he says softly, heart-warming at his brother’s huge smile as they wait on the lights changing green, their noses nudging the others as they get caught up in their own little world
“We aren’t going to talk to them” you smile at your boyfriend
He nods turning to smile at you too “Nah” he slithers his arm around your waist to pull you closer, flush against him “We can wait till they’re ready to tell us” he kisses your temple
“Oh I had another realisation” you screw up your face
“Oh dear merlin…” he can already tell what kind “…fuck it go on we’re a team lets suffer together”
You smile a little at that before the disgust returns at the image “Last week we heard thumps coming from the kitchen…” you can’t even finish but he knows
His eyes close for a few seconds “I don’t know whether to puke or laugh” he says honestly, eyes opening
“Both is always an option” you let out a small chuckle “You know, we could always ask them to switch flats…like you and Reg could switch cause…”
“Neither of us will ever look at that counter top the same again? Oh yes, besides you always had better mattresses...oh and your aerial isn't broken”
“Siri you realise I just asked you to move in and live with me, right?” you check, wondering if it hadn’t hit him by his casual tone
“Yeah” he nods and your eyes shine “Aww darlin did you want a bigger reaction” he gives you a sorry look but you shake your head
“No it’s just you’re…” you smile “I love you”
He kisses your forehead before leaning his own on it “Love you more” he whispers 
You glance out the window at their retreating figures
“Reggie and Jamie will have to go to the shop that’s twenty min walk away since the other one closes at eight...that gives us forty minutes” you say a little sly
He pulls back with a shrewd smirk “You wanna…” he nods down stairs, looking down
“…do it on my counter?”
He nods
“Fuck yeah”

James swirled his glass of firewhiskey, watching the brownish liquid swish around the glass. He feel numb, he usually loved parties, hell he was usually the reason for them, be it planning, or thrown one for quidditch.
He didn’t plan this one though, you, Marlene and Remus did for Sirius’ 18th since you were all best at keeping things quiet . Peter would crack in seconds, Alice’s voice gets all high pitched when she lies, Frank can't keep secrets from Alice, and Dorcas was caring for Lily since she was so medicated with the cold she was practically on Veritaserum
As for himself, he really should have been apart of planning, Sirius was practically his brother, yet he took no part. Most didn’t question it, James hadn’t been himself since summer, he hadn’t really laughed or played pranks, nor given Lily a second glance, he was just different
James wasn’t sure himself how he ever could be normal again, not when his entire being was wishing he could go back and time, shake sense into his younger self and make him realise how good he had it, how good it could have been if he had just seen it
“Jamie!”
He felt the couch dip next to him, his heart picking up in pace at the sweet voice that somehow brought him to life and yet utterly destroyed him. He didn’t want to look at you just yet, not ready to melt under your gaze, not ready to be reminded of his own failure
“Jamie?” your voice morphs, no longer happy and excited but laced with concern
Pair that with your hand slipping into his own, squeezing it as he feels you shift on the couch and use your other hand to gently bring his face to meet yours
“Are you okay?”
Simple question, fucking complicated answer
Physically he’s fine, mentally a complete mess.
He feels better when he looks into those bright eyes of yours though, pretending your his for a moment but the bitter reality leaves a taste in his mouth no amount of firewhisky could drown
“I’m great” he gives you a smile but he knows it doesn’t meet his eyes hence he squints them just a little to make it seem like it did
You tilt your head. You don’t believe it, course you don’t. You’re you, his best friend, best friend since forever. You know that trick, you taught him that trick
“Don’t lie” you tell him, tone soft yet there’s an underlying firmness only few people could feel
He sighs, placing down his glass and bringing his full attention to you. His eyes dance quickly over your figure, jeans adored with a lazily tucked shirt, casual yet completely perfect in his eyes. Hair hanging natural, a little makeup made up of Marlene drawing little stars across your cheeks, flattering your features impeccably.
His definition of beautiful
“You look pretty” he lets the compliment slip, yet he would never regret it, not when you smile like that at it every time
“Not so bad yourself mr dear” you throw in a little wink and he feels his heart flutter “You gonna tell me what’s wrong?”
He shakes his head “Sorry” he gives you an apologetic smile, he told you everything, maybe not right away but eventually, however this secret he fears he’ll take to the grave
You seem in thought for a little while, clearly planing on finding a way to cheer him up and you would, it the most you way possible.
And he will forget for a little while, before the entire thing becomes a bitter sweet memory.
You would steal him away from the party, your hand in his and he would pretend not to see the small wave and smile you and Sirius share on the way out. You would take him to the kitchens, sweet talk the elf’s into making his favourite before leading him out to one of the secret balconies you found in your earlier years to eat it. You wouldn’t ask why he was sad or try to fix it, all you did was ask him silly questions, make him laugh like no one else could, and everything would be okay when you and he were on that balcony
But then you would go back to the party, your boyfriends party, his brothers party, and he would go to bed with the excuse of being tired. He would sit and replay the last hours in his head, pretend it was you he was dating and you stole him away for alone time, but like everything it was swept away when you and Sirius came into the dorm. Both giddy, maybe a little tipsy or perhaps just love drunk on one another.
His heart shattered for the millionth time as he watched you and Sirius kiss, sweet kisses, unable to keep your hands off each other but again in the sweetest way.
The two of you unknowingly crushing his heart further with every step of your silent waltz, illuminated by the moonlight flooding through the break in the curtains
Every time you messed up Sirius would kiss your nose, your cheek, your lips. Whispers of your adoration for the other echoing gently in the room, pretty boy’s and my star’s slipping from your lips, while my girl’s and french words which made you shine brighter than the stars themselves slipping from Sirius’.
The final nail wasn’t the I love you’s that were shared at the end of the dance
It was watching you both get changed into matching oversized shirts you got at your first concert together. How Sirius smiled when you braided his hair for bed. How he took off your makeup for you. And when you were finally in bed, limbs tangled together, your head rested on Sirius' chest while he caressed your back, it was how effortless the domesticity of it all was with the two of you.
That's what killed him, the quiet actions that showed you and Sirius were forever, made for each other, soulmates even
You slipped off first, a smile on your face as your cheek was cutely squished against his chest. James always loved the faces you made while sleeping, the little scrunches of your nose, the hums.
His eyes flicked upwards to Sirius and merlin did James wish he could lie, say he could love you, look at you with more love than Sirius could ever fathom but that was simply not true. Sirius looked at you like you were his entire being, so content with you in his arms, so calm, all of his worries forgotten, almost insignificant when you were around
Yet James still let himself imagine he was Sirius, that you and he were on that path. The one that led him to spend his life with you. The one that was the kind of fairytales, where he fell for his best friend and she loved him back, that he was the one to confess, that he hadn’t let his fear of ruining things stop him
It was then Sirius met James’ gaze and the guilt of his dream set in. Sirius gave him a smile, one he returned with the same trick he used on you earlier, thankful for the dark as it meant Sirius would believe this one
“Hey” his friend greets quietly
“Hey…sorry I wasn't…”
Sirius shakes his head “Don’t be. Your happiness is more important than a silly party”
His words are so genuine it’s like a cut to his heart. A reminder that you and Sirius really loved him, and that’s what made him positive he would never reveal his feelings, why no matter how hard he tried he could never feel anything negative towards you or Sirius for loving one another
“Happy Birthday Pads” he gives him a real smile this time
“Thanks Prongs” Sirius looks down at you for a moment “I might be a little drunk, or maybe it’s the old age...” he chuckles and James finds himself joining him “...but I love you mate, and I don’t thank you enough for everything you've done...hell still do for me”
James knew he was referring to, living with him, giving him clothes, holding him when he cried over leaving Regulus, healing the wounds inflicted by his father and on one heartbreaking occasion by Sirius himself, but for James there was one more thing he did that Sirius would never know
“I love you too” he says nodding, tears welling
Sirius just smiled at him before shuffling down on the bed, holding you that little bit tighter as he settles in to sleep
“Night” he says quietly
“Night” he replies, watching Sirius slip off with a smile equal to yours on his face
James let the tears fall then, shaky breaths as he tried to be quiet
Closure was certainly years away yet somehow the first bit of his heart fused back together, sure it was one of a hundred little pieces but it was a start. Maybe one day he would find his own star like you had, someone who could help rebuild the rest of his heart, someone he would have the courage to tell how he feels before another bet him to it.
But for now, James would cry over his unrequited love for you and what could have been

Sirius awoke to a series of small thumps, he tried his best to ignore them, assuming it must have been James in the next room doing something stupid he thought was an amazing idea at 2am. The noise stopped for a few minutes but then it happened again, only louder and he groaned, clutching at his pillow
“Prongs I swear to merlin” he mumbles to himself waiting for the sound to stop, which it does for again a couple of minutes before it resumes once more “Imma kill him”
Sirius throws off the blanket, marching out of his room, he was happy James' parents were away for the weekend so he didn’t have to worry about anyone but James seeing him in just his boxers...or seeing him kill their son for disturbing his beauty sleep.
Opening the door to James’ bedroom, he let it hit off of the table nearby, eyes still half closed as he tried to keep himself in his sleepy state as he shouted “Prongs shut the fuck up!” reciveing only a groan in response
When his eyes finally open, he's met with a very groggy looking James peering at him from under a mountain of covers
The boy rubs the sleep from his eyes, trying to process before his eyes go wide “Shit I wasn’t talking in my sleep again was I?” he wonders
Sirius shakes his head “No I thought it was you making that...” there it was again, both he and James sharing a look “You heard that, right?” he checks to comfirm he wasn't going crazy
"I did” James confirms standing up before eyeing Sirius “Mate” he cringes, holding one hand up to block the view
“What?” Sirius shrugs before looking down “Oh” he chuckles tugging himself away “Sorry”
James lets out a breathy laugh “It’s fine just don’t want you flashin’ the burglars” he jokes but then they hear the noise again “I think it’s the front door” James says heading out of the room, grabbing a shirt on the way along with some checked trousers he throws at Sirius
“You think Euphemia forgot something?” Sirius asks hopping into the trousers before he gets to the top of the stairs 
James stops before heading down “Siriusly Pads call her mum, it’s weird when you use her first name” he says throwing the shirt over his head
Sirius rolls his eyes “Okay, you think mum forgot some…” he starts taking a step down the stairs before looking at James “That actually sounds kinda nice to say” he muses and James hits him lightly
“We can celebrate you finally having a good mum later. Right now we need to see who’s at the door” James hithers for him to follow, walking down the stairs and while Sirius nods following behind, he’s quietly calling James’ parents mum and dad in his head
Eventually they get down to the front door just as the knocks happen again but slowly the chaps are were getting weaker, of course James and Sirius’ brains weren't registering that as they assumed they were about to be murdered
“Wait” James says grabbing a vase from the table next to the door before gripping the handle
Sirius grabs the closest thing to him which so happens to be a book “Okay I'm ready?” Sirius nods
James does a double take “You gonna read to them?” he eyes the book in Sirius’ hands “Least I can clog them over the head” he wiggles the vase in the air
The boy huffs “Fuck off and open the door” he gestures for his friend to get on with it but as James pushes down the door handle he holds up the book getting into a fighting stance
James opens the door the vase lowering as he sees you, drenched as you clearly had been standing in the rain for a long time
“Y/n?” he looks at you concerned, more so seeing the dried blood being washed down your cheek from the rain
Sirius looks at the door then James “Y/n?” he repeats half pushing James out of the way and dropping the book as he opens the door fully “Merlin, you’re soaked through darlin’” he pulls you inside but as he grips your arm you wince, the small whine panicking the boys
You don’t seem like you can speak, just small sniffles as Sirius gently pushes up the wet fabric revealing a bruise in the shape of finger prints on your arm before his eyes flick up and see the small cut on your forehead
“Who did this to you?” James wonders, his voice soft while Sirius’ fingers are tracing over the marks he knew far too well
In the quietest, most broken voice they two had ever heard you reply “My mum” and the boys’ heart broke
James quickly ran out into the rain that was now dying down and grabbed your small case. Re-entering the house, he turns to Sirius “I’ll go make us some food, you take her to get cleaned up…Remus’ balm is in my ensuite bathroom along with the med kit” he tells him giving you a quick kiss to the forehead whispering “You’re safe now” before heading off into the kitchen
“Come on darlin” he takes your hand in his gently leading you up the stairs and into James’ bathroom
You just stand there, shaking from the cold as he begins to go through the small cabinet for healing supplies. Eventually he finds it, sitting it on the counter next to the sink before turning back to you
“Need to get these wet clothes off” he says softly and you just nod, your tears more evident now you were out of the rain “Can I?” his fingers graze the edge of your jackets zipper
You nod again, allowing him to take off your clothes. He’s does it slowly, handling you like you could shatter at any moment. Whispering words of reassurance and kissing your cheek or temple every now and again so you know you're safe
Eventually you are down to your underwear but even that’s wet “Turn around for me” Sirius asks and when you turn around he tries to compose himself as he sees more bruises, the ones on your arms were fresh but these looked around a week old
He unclasps your bra, letting it fall to the ground, gently rubbing his hands along the indentation the wet fabric had left. Hearing you hum as he kissed your shoulder “Back around for me” you turn hands at your sides as the tears fall
He takes the pad of his thumb and wipes your cheeks “You’re so brave darling...so so brave” his voice is still soft but there’s a firmness which makes you nod, closing your eyes as he places a lingering kiss to your forehead
He then knees down, fingers hooking the edges of your underwear, pulling them down and letting you step out of it. Before he stands back up he kisses the bruise on your hip and again his thumbs rub the irritation from your underwear waist band
“Why don’t we get you in the shower then I’ll get a bandage on your head” he offers "It doesn't look too bad" his thumb gently taping around the wound
You say nothing, just slide your arm around his waist and hug him tightly. He returns it right away, one hand going to your head protectively and the other caressing your back
“I love you” you whisper 
He kisses your wet hair “I love you more darlin’” he smiles at you as he pulls back “Come on lets you cleaned up, yeah?” you nod and he pecks your lips
You climb into the combined bath and shower, sitting down when he instructs as he can tell you're too tired to stand, besides it was easier for him to bathe you like this.
Sirius flicks on the shower testing the water with his hand before running it over your back “Temperature okay?” he double checks and you hum in agreement, enjoying the warmth after standing outside for around an hour
His free hand rubs the dried blood from you, heart aching as you hiss when the warm water hits some of the bruises than now look more like burn marks
“Hold this for a second darlin’” he hands you the shower head to hold briefly as he massages some shampoo into your scalp, smiling as he sees your lips tug up “Thanks” he kisses your forehead, happy to see you are slowly returning to your normal self
After rinsing your hair, he runs some conditioner through your ends, chatting with you until it was time to wash it out
“How are you feeling?” he gives you a small smile
 You return it, hand moving to cup his on your shoulder “Better” you nod “Sorry if I scared you”
“Didn’t scare me darlin, just…it hurts to see you hurting” he answers but you can tell he wants to ask you about your injuries
“It wasn’t always like this” his eyes meet yours “It only turned physical this summer before...my mum she…” you wince and he shifts on his knees closer, thumb rubbing your skin in a circular motion 
“Your mum did what?” he gently prompts
You scrunch up your nose “Before she was only physical with my dad…but as I grew older and he left I wanted to stand up to her. Usually resulting in her screaming at me, which until this summer was enough to scare me into submission”
“But this time it didn’t work and her threats weren't threats anymore” he finishes and you nod “She do all of this?” he gestures to the injuries
You bob your head “She makes me go to these family barbecues in our neighbourhood and we have to look all perfect. So she needs to make sure my hair is perfect too and when I talked back she burnt me…claiming it was an accident” you graze your fingers over your shoulder
Sirius jaw clenches, trying his best to stay calm as you continue
“She gave me this...” you touch your arm “When I was trying to leave a couple of nights ago to come visit you and James, she was scared i was leaving her like dad did...umm siri I think you can” you motion to your hair
“Oh” he nods, letting you tilt your head back as he rinses the product out “So…what made you leave tonight?” he asks but he’s pretty sure it has something to do with that cut on your head 
“She threw a bottle over my head” you say, hugging yourself as he turns the water off "She was drunk, blaming me for the millionth time for dad leaving...honestly I don't blame him for it, I just wish he took me with him"
Sirius felt his heart ache more than you could understand at that
"Anyway I told her it was her fault and she got mad, throwing the empty bottle at the wall to scare me, then started crying when she saw the blood"
You sniff remembering bering how she tried to guilt trip you one last time, same empty promises of 'change'
"I tucked her into bed and wrote a note explaining that I was leaving for good..." you look up at him "...then I apparted here"
Sirius closes his eyes for a moment before grabbing a clean towel “I'll never let her touch you again” he promises, kissing your forehead before holding the towel open
Standing you let him wrap it around you, tugging it in before you climb out of the bath with his help
Once your out, you cup his cheeks "I know" you nod, gently brushing some of his hair out of the way "That's the reason I didn't think twice about coming here, you have always made me feel safe...always, even when you do questionable pranks" you giggle at the end and it's music to his ears
"You make me feel the same way you know, I feel like everything is okay when I'm with you" he gives you a warm smile, noses brushing before he captures your lips in a soft slow kiss
When he pulls away he gives you a cheeky look "And my pranks aren't questionable they are siriusly thought through" he defends making you smile
"Of course, I'm sorry" you scold yourself, hitting your hand playfully
He chuckles "Good, now lets get you dried so I can put a bandage on this" he kisses the cut ever so gently before moving to grab you a t-shirt since he knows thats gentler on your hair
Just as he was about to hand you it there’s a light knock at the door “Hey, can I come in?” you hear James say
Sirius looks to you to check you were comfortable with that and you nod
“Yeah prongs, come on in” Sirius says, deciding to dry your hair for you quickly
James wastes no time coming in, giving you a sad smile as his eyes drift over the bruises “I made you some food” he tells you, eyes flicking to Sirius' motions and his smile lifts, such a simp, he can't help but think
“Thanks” you give him a small smile but your nervous about the long-term ramifications of you leaving and staying here
Luckily he's has already thought about it “You can stay in Pads’ room with him; my parents will be fine with that, they're pretty cool...I mean they did made me after all" he smirks and you giggle "I’ll send them a letter in the morning letting them know you’ll be staying with us this summer, and if you need clothes we will buy you new ones or we can use my cloak to sneak back and get anything you left behind”
Your mouth parts “James, I-I don’t know what to say” your heart warms, you knew James was kind and a good friend but having him help you and be so sweet first hand was overwhelming
“You don’t have to say anything” he assures you, eyes flicking to Sirius who gives him a grateful smile “Although” he adds as he heads to the door “I thank you would be nice” he winks and you giggle
“Thank you James” you say genuinely
“Anything for my future sister in law” he wiggles his eyebrows at Sirius who blushes lightly “I’ll let you tend to that cut and I’ll go unpack your stuff, then we can stuff our faces with comfort food”
