Prompt 27 - Qualify

@wolfstarmicrofic August 27, word count 445

Remus had no idea why he agreed to follow James, Sirius and Peter down to the Quidditch pitch to watch Sirius attempt to qualify for a place on the Gryffindor team. James went to stand with the established team, Sirius with the other hopefuls, while Remus and Peter climbed the steps into the stands. 

Peter left Remus pretty quickly to go hang over the edge of the railing so he wouldn’t miss a thing. Remus relaxed back, casting a warming charm on himself as he guessed they were going to be there a while. 

The chasers went first. It was pretty boring to watch. James was so good, that they really didn’t need anyone but him on the team, but apparently, the rules said they had to have three chasers. It took a while but finally, the new chaser was picked and they moved on. 

Next up were the beater tryouts. Remus leaned forward with more interest as Sirius took to the skies.  

Sirius’s muscled arms rippled as he swung his bat at the oncoming bludger. Remus had never noticed just how big and strong those muscles had got. His mind was suddenly flooded by visions of Sirius throwing him bodily onto his bed. Of Sirius pushing him up against a wall and kissing him while those arms kept him aloft. Of Sirius grabbing his arm and tugging so hard, Remus twirled into his arms and gazed up into those stormy grey eyes. 

He was abruptly shaken from his daydreaming by yelling. 

“REMUS DUCK!!!!” Sirius screamed at him from the pitch. Remus had a split second to react as the bludger came hurtling towards him. He flung himself to the floor, landing flat on his stomach. He heard a whoosh and a crack above him. When he dared to look up, Sirius was hovering above him, his batting arm extended. 

“Oi, Aldersley, you nearly killed Moony!” He shouted angrily at the other boy who was trying out for beater as well. The captain blew her whistle and they all landed. “Are you okay Moony?” Sirius asked before he followed the rest to where the team was waiting. 

“Yeah, thanks,” Remus stammered as he got up off the floor. “Thanks for saving me,” He gave Sirius a weak smile. 

“Anytime, Moony,” Sirius winked at him and sped off towards the grass where he was welcomed to the team alongside Marlene. 

He really needed to stop fantasising about Padfoot. It was never going to happen anyway, and clearly, it was detrimental to his health. But as he looked down at Sirius in James's arms, he couldn't help but hope that one day those fantasies might come true.

Word count: 298

Summary: Sirius and Remus watch Regulus in his post-race interview.

I am writing a fic for each of the prompts this month. You can read all of them here.

Sirius craned his neck to watch the screen above him. His younger brother was standing trackside, hands on his hips, chest heaving, as he spoke to a reporter.

The interview had consisted of the usual questions so far, but Sirius was holding his breath, waiting for the inevitable question.

“Now, your older brother, Sirius...” began the reporter.

And there it was.

“...was the medal favourite for the eight hundred metre race. How does it feel to qualify, knowing he didn’t?”

Sirius’s boyfriend scoffed next to him. “She’s making it sound like he beat you, never mind the fact that he retired,” Remus said, raising his voice at the last few words as if the reporter could hear him.

Sirius reached over and squeezed Remus’s hand, torn between being amused and grateful for having such a supportive partner.

He turned to the screen, and saw Regulus laughing slightly after answering a question that Sirius had not heard. No matter, no doubt Remus would have downloaded the video by the time they got home.

“The secret sauce of the Black brothers?” said Regulus. “He does make a mean scone,” he said, laughing. As he spoke, he turned to where he knew Sirius and Remus would be sat and winked.

Sirius’s mouth fell open. He knew it was a touch embarrassing that the scones from the morning before had exploded in the oven, given it was his fourth attempt over the last few months. But having Regulus come live with them after years of not speaking to him had turned Sirius surprisingly domestic.

He turned to Remus, who was fighting a smile. “I take him in, I feed him and clothe him,” he said, ignoring Remus’s scoff at this, “And what do I get?”

“Burnt scones, apparently,” came Remus’s dry response.

Are You Qualified?
