MANIAC
the one where you don't go back to the boys.
part two of the conan gray series
âi wish i were heatherâ out now!
synopsis: after getting cheated on by your previously expected soulmates, a change in perspective occurs and you find yourself falling for a different set of three.
warnings: foul language, slander on the marauders, sexual innuendos, mentions of smoking, a small taylor
"PEOPLE LIKE YOU ALWAYS WANT BACK WHAT THEY CAN'T HAVE."
Leaving Hogwarts early for Christmas this year was not something anyone could've forshadowed.
You, the girl who spent most of her time studying for her upcoming OWLS in November, had disappeared without a trace.
Of course most of your close friends knew where you were, and some not so close friends did aswell.
"She can't just run away from her problems." Said Sirius, his leg bouncing anxiously from the news Regulus had just sprung onto them.
"Sirius, It'll be fine, okay? When they get back to school, we can formally apologize and move on, right?" Remus attempted to reassure Sirius, but he in reality he felt quite crestfallen.
Lily sat quietly, already regretting her decision to do this with them.
In her head, she knew they had every intention to not cheat and solve things the right wayâ but she hadnât helped.
It all started one night at a loud and ear-shattering Gryffindor victory party after a successful win for their Quidditch team.
She got drunk, and they were completely wasted.
And you werenât there.
So their drunken minds believed it would be a missed opportunity if they didnât take their chance with Gryffindors golden girl.
Lily knew she shouldâve said no, she shouldâve gone back to her dorm and hid from them for the rest of eternity.
But fate clearly had other plans.
And after secrets, longing stares, and lingering touches that the truth finally came to light.
and it was all at your expense.
âSoâ When will our Reggie be joining us, Meadowes?â Evan slurred, his voice carrying a heavily intoxicated tone.
âSoon enough, heâs got one more OWL to complete and then heâs on his way.â Dorcas mused as she gently pet the head of her tipsy sleepy Gryffindor girlfriends head as she babbled on about Quidditch.
Evan nodded drunkenlyâ before taking another swig.
Dorcas seemed so peaceful with Marleneâ who had surprisingly accepted her invitation to spend Christmas with the Slytherins, though Marlene truly wasnât prejudice against them like others were.
They seemed so⌠in love.
You had love once.
Remember?
Theyâre gone.
Remember?
Theyâre gone.
âIâ I had love⌠onceââ You hiccuped sadly, beginning to sob for the umpteenth time this evening.
You were extremely drunk, who could really blame you?
âAww⌠TreasureâŚâ Barty (who surprisingly was very sober) cooed, encapsulating you in a bear hug as you cried into his chest.
âHow many more times is she going to do that?â Asked Peter, whoâ by the way: lied to his friends and said he was going home for Christmas.
He was only visiting for the night, as he was currently visiting his girlfriendâ Sybil Trelawney who lived in town.
âWho knows, Pete. Who knows..â Evan slung his arm around him.
âThis should be the last time before she realizes that she doesnât need them, thatâs what the sprites are telling me.â Pandora smiled, petting your hair gently in comfort.
âPettigrew, you should turn back to your rat-pack and tell them theyâre trash.â
You spat, in broken sighs.
Obviously, Peter felt a bit of offense to the rat slander but alasâ they werenât aware of his rat-secret.
Quite a shame.
âSure thing, L/N.â
'FEELS LIKE WE HAD MATCHING WOUNDS BUT MINES STILL BLACK AND BRUISED.'
on December 19th, Regulus had finally arrived at Barty's flat he'd rented for the holidays.
Marlene, Dorcas, and Peter had their departure just the day before, leaving just you, Pandora, Evan, Barty, and Regulus.
Pandora had just wished you all goodnights and dream blessings before nodding off to your shared room for your stay.
"So, anyone up for some firewhiskey?" Offered Evan, who held a giant bottle of the substance.
"Just a small bit, Rosie." Barty accepted his offer graciously.
"Need anything, amour?" Regulus mused in your ear, by far he was the most comforting one. As the other two just distracted you with their own twisted ways of thinking and chaos.
"I'm alright, Reggie. Thank you." You nodded politely, you had felt incredibly off this break.
Though they all weren't stupid, they knew why you were acting strange.
Every year since third year; You and the boys would leave Hogwarts and spend Christmas with the Potters.
Snowball fights, roaring fires, Effie's hot cocoa, the memories echoed through your brain like they were music blasting from your headphones.
Every time you closed your eyes to sleep, you would see endless slideshows of everything you had ever done with them.
The nights of passion, the hugs, the pre and post-quidditch game good luck and good job kisses, the play fights, the happiness.
Your life was black and white before you met them, they brought the color.
But they showed you colors they knew you couldn't see with anyone else.
Well, besides your 'best' friends.
Were you really just that? Just friends?
You were a year younger than the Marauders, same year as Regulus.
and Sirius would be so pissed off if he found out that you were sleeping with his brother-
...
Wait.
Who gives a fuck about Sirius?
Who cares what intelligent insult will come out of Remus' mouth?
And James, he liked Regulus once.
They'd hate you.
But,
Maybe you wanted them too.
So, you ended up taking a few shots of firewhiskey.
Okay,
More than a few.
"Um- actually, Reggie. I- I do need something." You slurred, holding onto your sober ex-boyfriends brother best friends nimble shoulders like he was your lifeline.
"Yes, amour?"
"I want a kiss."
Evan spat out his drink back into his cup, and Regulus' face heated up significantly.
"I'll give you a kiss..." Barty clambered over his boyfriends as his cold, veiny hands meet your waist.
His hands skim your body up and down, before pecking your lips softly, as if he was asking for acceptance.
"Can I kiss you?" Barty spoke so softly, he may have been chaotic and insane- but he was extremely cautious and respectable with things like this.
"I-I wanna taste you so bad.." Evan cooed at Barty's sweet words, as he held an extremely flustered Regulus in his arms, watching the scene in front of him unfold.
"Barty- please, kiss me." You mewled, barely finishing your sentence as he dived into your lips.
His lips surprisingly tasted like cherry chapstick, even though he had just been chugging firewhiskey.
After feeling like an eternity, Barty broke your kiss.
"I've wanted to do that since fourth year." He mumbled drunkenly, gazing up stupidly and lovingly at your blush-kissed face.
His kisses were heavenly, and so were Evan's, and Regulus'.
And needless to say, you didn't return back to Pandora that night.
'YOU'RE POINTING AT THE STARS IN THE SKY THAT ALREADY DIED.'
The return to Hogwarts was an awkward one at that.
But returning back to Hogwarts feeling happier than ever with your boyfriends? That was the best return you could make.
Hand in hand with Barty, you strutted into the Great Hall.
Evan and Regulus trailed behind, as you rambled on and on to Barty about something.
James stared your direction, and you unfortunately met his gaze.
He wasn't dense, he could see how your bright smile seemed to dim.
He smiled, softly.
James knew that they'd never get you back the way they had you.
He should've realized that you were the light of their lives.
Everyone should've woken up to see you.
They hurt you.
And this was their price.
They had to watch you thrive, with three other men.
Who would treat you like a goddess, something they never sought time for.
OPTIONAL FORIGIVNESS ENDING (my fragile angel heart can't take no happy ending)
PEOPLE WATCHING (coming soon...)

GOLD RUSH â regulus black x reader.
SUMMARY. â your secret relationship with regulus isnât so secret anymore.
PAIRING. â regulus black x fem!pureblood!reader
WARNINGS. â reader has a 1st year brother; this is shitty;
A/N. â im desperately trying to write something coherent for reggie and itâs not working
âif you stare at that poor girl for a little while longer iâm pretty sure her headâs gonna set on fire.â Bartyâs voice is quiet as he leans in closer to your ear, and you tilt up your head at him, quickly hitting his shoulder. youâre standing in front of the potions classroom, and out of your friend group itâs only the two of you - Evan back in his dorm claiming to be sick, Dorcas not every making any excuses as to why she didnât show up, Pandora being a ravenclaw, and Regulus⌠well, Regulus.
Regulus is standing in the darkest corner of the hallway, having a conversation with some hufflepuff (a good friend of his who you have known of for a while) whoâs batting her eyelashes up at him, and you wonder if heâs truly that oblivious to notice or just chooses to ignore it. either way you shrug, turning to Barty with a grimace on your face thatâs supposed to be a smile.
âdamn, babe, with that look on your face you might just scare away potential suitors.â he tugs at your braid, swiftly making it fall apart, and your frown deepens.
ânot in the mood, Barty.â you roll your eyes with a scoff, leaning back against the wall, looking up at the ceiling. your parents have been bugging you about finding a suitable future husband to marry after you graduate ever since this school year started, and as it all nears spring youâre only growing more restless. of course they donât know about your relationship with Regulus. sure, they would be over the moon at the news, the younger Black brother being⌠hot shit amongst the mentally challenged elders, as Evan described it once. which is exactly why you want to keep it under the wraps for as long as you can.
itâs been going pretty well youâd say, both of you not having much problem with acting casual, but lately youâve been struggling with that. youâre not jealous, Merlin forbid, youâre just⌠well, maybe you are the tiniest bit jealous. in all honesty, who wouldnât be? itâs Regulus Black.
you enter the classroom hand in hand with Barty once the clock strikes nine, splitting with him when you make your way to your desk. during this class you actually share your space with Regulus, and so you give him a small smile when he sits down beside you.
the whole day passes in a blur for you, as it usually does, and soon enough youâre in your favorite place of all Hogwarts. youâre sitting on a huge plush couch in the room of requirement, your head resting on your boyfriendâs lap as he runs his slender fingers through your hair. both of you dressed in some comfortable clothes instead of the everyday robes, your wands laying down on the wooden table in front of the sofa.
âi havenât written back to my mother yet.â you murmur after a moment, eyes set on Regulusâ face, trying to catch every detail of it.
his skin is pale, sheer thin, and if you believed in them you couldâve said heâs a ghost. his lips are always so plump looking, now outstretched in a smile, his gray irises staring right back at you with that loving shimmer to them.
âhave Alistair?â he asks, your younger brotherâs name leaving his mouth so quiet itâs practically a whisper, and he raises his eyebrows. you shrug, and a moment later you shake your head.
âiâm not sure. i think so.â you reply, internally groaning at the mere thought of your sibling, and you push yourself up on your elbows then fully sit up, reaching out for one of the mugs standing on the coffee table. theyâre both filled with hot chocolate, and you take the pink one into your hand, sipping on it slowly. âlittle bugger is snitching on me, i try to avoid him.â
you watch him chuckle and reach over for his mug, then the two of you lean back against the couch. you can feel yourself sinking into the cushions, and a delighted sigh escapes you, before you catch Regulusâ amused expression and purse your lips together quickly.
âi just canât wait for all of this to end, so we could move away.â you mumble, setting your cup back down, and he nods. he leans in closer, his hands resting on either sides of your middle, and for a beat he only looks at you. then suddenly his smile widens, and he kisses the top of your nose.
âchocolate on your nose.â he whispers playfully, his lips brushing innocently against your cheek next, then your jawline, your chin, slowly trailing down to set on your neck for a longer while. âjust three more months, ma chĂŠrie. and weâll leave it all behind.â
his breath is hot against your skin despite the chilliness of his hands that wrap around your waist, helping you into a laying down position. his caress is gentle, soft, just so so loving.
âa cozy cottage somewhere in a quiet village. maybe wales?â you breathe out, your hands coming up to first rest on his shoulders, but you quickly move them up and tangle them into his dark curls.
âmhm, like we planned.â he nods, making you yelp in surprise as he suddenly sucks on your pulse point, and you swear you can feel him smirk against the column of your throat. âa whole lot of protective spells to keep us safe and hidden from everyone. and then maybe we can focus on whatâs good. plant a tree and have a dozen of children.â
âwell, i donât know whoâs gonna give you a dozen of children, cause itâs for sure not me.â you scoff, a chuckle escaping your lips as you pull him back from you, and he takes the opportunity to give you a kiss. it quick and sweet, and his hands start to wander under your shirt, ghosting over the outline of your bra teasingly.
you leave the room of requirement in the middle of the night, fingers intertwined, and your guard let down. your clothes are wrinkled up, hair messy and tousled, and thereâs already a slight limp to your walk. youâre both sure no oneâs going to see you, i mean come on, itâs 2am. but the moment you step a foot outside, and the magic door disappears behind you, you hear a victorious laugh.
your brother is standing right there, just a few strides away from you, grinning from ear to ear. you immediately groan, gaze locking with Regulusâ for a moment before you step forward.
âi swear to Merlin, Alistair, if you tell anyone about thisâŚâ you start menacingly, hand clasping on the boyâs shirt collar, but it gives you an opposite result of what youâve hoped for.
âsod off, Y/N! iâm writing about this to mother right when i get back to my dorm!â

hi! i have this really cute idea for regulus x fem! reader. so reader is a animagus and itâs winter time so sometimes sheâll shift into a their animal form, preferably a cat, and goes seek out warmth. but reader is also besties with remus and knows heâs a werewolf, his body temperature runs a lot warmer then anyone else so she goes to room to cuddle. when that happens, regulus immediately knows they reader is with remus and, begrudgingly, goes to gryffindor to steal reader back.
when he gets there, sirius is pouring and complains to reggie that âyour girlfriend is stealing my boyfriendâ and regulus snaps back by saying âwell your boyfriend is stealing my girlfriendâ and reader and remus are amused but their bickering but donât care.
anon. anon. i am giving you the BIGGEST kiss, you don't even know. this is perhaps the best idea i've seen in a while and so i love you. i will be thinking about this throughout all of winter, thank you.
Words: 3k
Warnings: not proofread, fem!reader, references to previous black brothers angst, disgusting amounts of fluff, best friends can cuddle platonically regardless of gender i will fight you on this, background rosekiller and wolfstar, childhood best friend!remus, implied gryffindor!reader, sirius pretends to be jealous but is not
Note: read more about cat!animagus!reader's shenanigans with regulus, wolfstar and james in Sweet Like Honey; Karma is a Cat & Padfoot vs. Whiskers
When Regulus accepted Siriusâ attempt to mend their relationship, he had expected to get his big brother back in full and no more. The person who understands him best, the boy he needed to lean on â it was all he wanted to get out of it. Perhaps he expected to have to grown tolerant of his brotherâs friends, but that was something he dreaded, if he at all thought of.
What Regulus had not expected was to be introduced to and fall head over heels in love with you.
Remusâ childhood best friend, the more reserved one of the bunch that he had always seen floating around with them, but whose voice he had never had to roll his eyes at, thus never interacted with. It bewildered him now how he once upon a time barely thought of you, regarded you.
Now he knew you were delightful, and Regulus was positively smitten.
It had been exactly what Regulus had never thought he would get â an easy love. Like your friends, you were open and honest and loyal to the bone, and it spilled over like honey into your relationships with those around you. Once you caught a glance of his clearly lovestruck eyes, you melted, and the puddle was caught delicately in his hands.
Since then, that is where he has held you. In the palms of his hands, close to his heart. He learned more than he perhaps wanted to know about himself during the process of opening up to you, and you showed him a patience he still is not entirely certain he deserves. But you gave him your time, your moments, your touches and your lips, and he received and received without complaint.
When the two most important people in Regulusâ life â one a fervent, natural devotion, another a sassy, passionate rivalry â were in the same hazardous circle of loud-mouthed Gryffindor friends, he eventually had to capitulate that he could no longer just tolerate them. They were family.
God, what love has cost him.
Regulus walked into his dorm room where you have spent more days than not for the past few months, and sighed defeatedly when all he finds there is Barty laying on top of Evan in some odd position that cannot possibly be comfortable.
âHello to you too, Black. Thrilling to see you.â Bartyâs voice was laced with sarcasm, but there was no menace there as of yet.
âYeah, yeah,â Regulus grumbled as he threw his bookbag onto his bed and sat down. âYou seen Y/N lately?â
âYou mean since you were all snuggled up this morning? Nah.â
Regulus rolled his eyes painfully hard at his oldest friend, murmuring a soft sod off before tossing whatever was closest â his pyjama t-shirt â in Bartyâs general direction, missing by a good metre. He is a seeker and not a chaser for a reason.
âWhat of it, Reg?â Evan mumbled, but it was distorted by Bartyâs elbow being more or less shoved into his mouth. He could never sit still.
âJust figured sheâd be here, âs all. She finished class before me.â Regulus falls down onto his bed, curls spilling onto the emerald sheets as he stares at the ceiling, picturing you there and then immediately kicking himself for being that down bad. Then reminding himself with the therapy-speech Sirius has been teaching him, love is a strength not a weakness, itâs good to feel your feelings. Yada yada. "It's been a long day."
âMaybe she got tired of your sorry ass.â Barty laughed at his own joke only to be smacked by Evanâs finally-freed hand.
âOr yours, you sod.â
âNah, Treasure absolutely adores me.â Barty propped himself up to flash you both a grin. âSee, unlike you, Iâm fun.â
âInteresting word to substitute insufferable with.â Evan said, leaning his face up from underneath Barty, as if to intimidate him.
âYou love me,â Barty drawled before kissing the blond soundly.
âWould you guys please stop flirting?â Regulusâ voice was closer to a groan than anything else. He pressed the backs of his hands to his eyes, seeing stars and thinking of you. Stupid poetic feelings.
âJust because you canât keep track of your girl doesnât mean we canât enjoy ourselves.â Barty pointed an accusatory finger at Regulus. âI would classify that demand as rude.â
âBite me.â
âOnly if your girlfriend says yes.â This time it was Evanâs turn of tuning into Regulusâ torture.
âAnd she would.â Barty winks at him.
This time itâs a pillow Regulus throws at them, and it lands perfectly, smack in the middle of Bartyâs face.
âOi!â He calls as he throws it back. âEither you quit it, or you throw me your jumper, itâs freezing in here.â
âYouâre literally in bed, Barty.â Regulus looks at him, unamused. âJustââ
He trails off, gaze falling from Barty to the wall behind him as he pieces the puzzle together and realisation dawns on his face. The other boys seem to have caught on as they both cock their heads curiously at him.Â
âOf course,â Regulus whispers, first in marvel and then it morphs into something between exasperation and disgust. âOf course.â At last, he gets a determined look on his face, slapping his palms on his knees as he sits up from bed and grabs his jumper to go.
âExcuse you, what just happened?â Barty says, increasingly louder throughout his sentence as he realises Regulus is headed for the door, thick wool jumper tucked under his arm. âHey!â
Regulus throws the boys a look over his shoulder, smirking at them and shaking his head before shutting the door and walking off. He barely catches Evanâs âshush, you baby, Iâll warm yaâ before he is out of earshot.
A man with a purpose and half a plan stalks off, beginning the treacherous journey from the Slytherin dungeons to the Gryffindor dormitories.
What is the single thing Regulus knows can keep you from him when youâre otherwise attached at the hip? The cold.
What is the one person you go to for anything and everything, especially dealing with the cold? A certain ragged boy with a wolfish smile that he knows is to be found only behind the portrait of an increasingly annoying woman.
âPassword?â The Fat Lady asked, quirking a brow ridiculously high as she regards Regulus with a mutual disgust.
âCatulus leonis.â Regulus does not bother holding back the eyeroll at the ridiculous passphrase.
She looks at him a moment or five longer than she needs, almost as if considering not letting him in despite his answer being perfectly correct, before she finally swings open the door wordlessly.
Regulus mutters a harsh thank you, Pureblood upbringing having knocked some politeness into him he is just not able to forego, no matter how severe his beef â as Sirius says â with the woman is.
When he finally approaches the offending dorm, the door opens fast enough to knock some wind across his face, and he is met with a set of black curls and a superfluous frown that both match his own.
âRegulus. Thank Merlin.â
âGood to see you too, Siri. How'd you know it was me?â
"Recognised your footsteps. Now, c'mon."
Regulus pushes in past his brother and his eyes immediately find Remus Lupinâs bed. To the unaware, it would just look like the scrawny boy was innocently laying on his bed, head propped against a mountain of pillows and reading another one of his paperbacks.
However, Regulus knew better and could see the perfect girlfriend-shaped lump underneath Remusâ jumper, shielded by his arms as he held his book over his stomach.
Or, at least shaped like this rather specific form of his girlfriend.
âHello, amour, Iâve been looking for you.â Regulusâ voice is addressed to the bump on Remusâ chest, but he looks up at him with a quirked brow and a smug smile tugging on the corner of his lips.
âDidnât know we were on a pet name-basis, Reg. Good to know.âÂ
âAbsolutely not.â Sirius and Regulus chorus at the exact same time, and Regulus fights back the wince at how painfully similar they are in this moment.
âReggie,â Sirius finally whines. âYour girlfriendâs been stealing my boyfriend for the past two hours. Do something!â
Despite having a very similar sentiment settled in his own chest, Regulus gives his brother a pull yourself together look as he comes up to stand beside him, near the occupied bed. âIâm fairly certain your boyfriend has stolen my girlfriend equally as much,â he tuts.
âWhatever, just do something.â Sirius waves his hand towards Remusâ still very relaxed state with something a bit too close to a pout forming on his face.
âThereâs no need to be jealous, Pads, the poor girlâs just cold,â Remus chides, with a teasing glint in his eye that clearly shows he knows his boyfriend is being dramatic for the bit and not actually upset. "Gotta help 'er out."
ââM not jealous. Iâm needy.â Siriusâ deadpan stare is not affected by Remusâ laughter nor Regulusâ barely-contained snort.
âGlad you admit it,â Regulus says slyly, patting Sirius on his shoulder twice, who immediately shrugs his hand off with a scowl.
âLike youâre any better, you slithered all the way up from the snake pit to fetch her. At least Iâm open about it.â
Before Regulus has the chance to retort, Remus puts his book down in his lap and reaches out a hand for Sirius, which he immediately takes. âI told you you could come lay in the bed with us, love,â Remus murmurs and swipes his thumb over the back of Siriusâ hand.
If he did not feel the same way, Regulus would have given Sirius hell for how he seemed to absolutely soften in the sunlight of his boy. âYeah, I know, Moons, Iâm just being theatrical.â
Remus laughs once more, and this time his chest rumbling results in a distinct prrrt! coming from the inside of his jumper. Up through the collar, cheek smashed against Remusâ, comes the tentative head of beautiful grey-and-white fur and slow-blinking yellow eyes, still riddled with sleep.Â
âGood morning, amour,â Regulus coos, ignoring Siriusâ snort as he drops down to squat beside Remusâ bed so his face is lined up with yours.
You pur, stretching beneath the fabric, a single paw escaping beside your head through the collar as you roll over onto your back. Your eyes remained trained on Regulus, and though he knows cats canât actually smile, he swears you were smiling at him.
âSorry to wake you, princess,â Sirius drawls as he looks down at you from where he is leaning on the bedpost beside Remus. âBut have you seeped up enough warmth for me to get my boyfriend back yet?â
You make a faux hissing sound before ducking your head down, so itâs just barely hidden by the collar.
Remus laughs heartily, setting his book completely away this time so his hand can come up to rest on your cat-form, petting you through his jumper. âItâs alright kitten, take your time.â
The exposed paw lightly hits Remusâ cheek in retaliation, and this time it is Sirius and Regulusâ turn to laugh at his expense. âOw! I share my warmth with you and this is what I get in return?â
From the movement beneath the fabric, Regulus assumes youâre nuzzling your head against his chest in apology.
âAmour, I brought your favourite jumper of mine and promise to make you so much hot cocoa if I can steal you back. We can be in your dorm room instead of mine, itâs warmer in there, right?â A smile remains consistent on Regulusâ face as he talks to you.
Sirius pats him on the back, murmuring something about youâre so whipped that he doesnât bother to pay attention to.Â
More movement beneath the fabric, and then suddenly your ears are poking out of the neckline again â because why would you make it easy for yourself and use the big exit, when you can squeeze your way through a tight opening? Youâre a cat after all.
Remus seems to be thinking the same as he laughs while you attempt to climb out beside his head, soft fur brushing against his skin and making up for the occasional claw you use for traction.Â
Regulus attempts to bite back the coos as he sees more and more of you, recognising your movements as sluggish with sleep, no doubt coaxed into it by finally being comfortable.
âThanks for today, see you again tomorrow, same time?â Remus teases, head turned towards you as you headbutt him lovingly, finally fully escaped from his jumper and standing on his shoulder. He nuzzles you back and scratches your head in goodbye.
Another prrrt! escapes you in greeting as you saunter your way across Remus and plop onto the small strip of mattress on his side where Regulusâ hands are open and ready to receive you.Â
âHi, sweetie,â he whispers as you allow him to scoop you up into his arms while heâs still squatting beside the bed. He holds you like an infant, tight to his body and securely supported. You immediately begin to purr loudly, nuzzling your head even further into his neck and shoulder.
Regulus does not bother to hold back the slight giggle as your caresses tickle him.Â
âGood gods, are you two sappy,â Sirius groans, but when Regulus looks up, there is a wide grin on his face. A slightly teasing one admittedly, but a grin nonetheless.
Then, Regulus recognises where Sirius is grinning at him from â properly cuddled up besides Remus on the opposite side of the bed, arms beneath his jumper, soaking up the leftover warmth from you.
âWaitâ how did you get there so fast?â Regulusâ voice is almost incredulous, stopping his greeting of you â earning him a harrumphing meow â to narrow his eyes at his brother. âI didnât even notice you move from beside me.â
âWhat can I say; I am a dedicated man.â Sirius nuzzles into Remusâ cheek, not much unlike how you were mere seconds ago, albeit his involved a tad many more kisses.
âYouâre weird, thatâs what you are,â Regulus laughs as he stands up with you in his arms.
You turn around to look up at him with those big, slitted eyes of yours. When you extend your neck further towards his face, Regulus lifts you higher so you can give him the cat-kisses you so evidently wanted, his lips curling at your touch.
Sirius lifts a brow at the two of you. âYeah. Iâm the weird one.âÂ
Regulus scoffs at him, but when you continue to caress your furry cheeks against his lips and chin, it is difficult for any menace to remain serious.
âThank you for your deviant supernatural warmth keeping my girlfriend alive, Lupin, but Iâd like to steal her away from you now.âÂ
âBy all means, Black, youâve already stolen her from me once,â Remus harrumphs, pretending to be some scorned faux older brother but his eyes betray his facade; he is happy for you.
Regulus chooses to ignore it nonetheless.
âBrother.â He nods at Sirius. âSoon to be brother-in-law.â He nods at Remus. âWe bid you goodnight.â
âTry not to undo all of Moonyâs hard work by freezing her right back up with your freakishly cold feet!â Sirius calls after him as he heads towards the door. He then promptly gives out a soft yelp that indicates Remus corrected him in some physical way.
âGoodnight love, goodnight Reg,â Remus calls instead.
âYeah, bye, doll!â Sirius adds, whispering more to himself, âheâs mine again now.â
You give out a tired meow that is so cute it makes Regulusâ heart clench with endearment. You cuddle properly up into the crook of his neck as he carries you out, softly closing the door behind him with a smile.
He shifts you in his grip so he can look down at you more carefully. âYou are so unbelievably predictable. And even cuter than that again, which is saying something,â he murmurs to you and you respond with quiet meows.
He looks at you curiously. âAre you going to remain in cat form the whole night?â
Your tail twitches teasingly, your only other response is a quiet prrt as you close your eyes into the warmth of his neck again. He laughs, covering your feline body with his hands as he carries you, to keep the warmth in.
He sneaks into your dorm â thankfully often unoccupied as Marlene is with Dorcas and Mary is with Pandora â and settles you down onto your plush mattress and pillows. He undresses and gets ready for bed, while youâre resting your head on the pillow, observing him, but just before getting under the covers, he slips on his jumper.
âItâs so soft I could cry, Reggie,â you had whispered to him when you cuddled up to him when he wore it around you for the first time. âI fear I can never let you go now.â
Regulus slides under the blankets with a knowing smile, opening the hem, allowing you to creep under, chest against chest with your head poking out of the collar to rest at the bottom of his neck.Â
âI'm no werewolf, but Iâll keep you warm with my love, amour,â he whispered to you in the dark, one hand combing through your fur protectively underneath his own jumper.
He swears, he could hear the little cat snort against his skin.
Regulus fell desperately deeper in love.

the case of the missing pickles
poly!marauders x slytherin seer!reader who can't stop Seeing them [2.9k words]
amalgamation of various prompts:
prompt 1 from đŽđ anon: I was wondering if you could do a part two of Sight's Set where one of her visions comes true? maybe the vision is of her on a date with them to Hogsmeade, but it turns out differently where she goes to Hogsmeade alone and they find her there and join her??? prompt 2 from anonymous: Can I please request marauders with a reader who are just in the beginning of their relationship and yet they know r so well like she doesn't have to even ask and she's all confused and flustered prompt 3 from đď¸ anon: Remus calling feisty slytherin reader 'dove' being her kryptonite
The sun was warm on your skin as the castle gates permeated your view. You were trying to hide your amused smile at the boysâ antics, though youâre sure you were unsuccessful when a gentle laugh escaped your lips.
James faltered in his steps at the sound, turning to look at you with a beaming smile.
âWell gorgeous,â Sirius teased with a salacious grin as he moved to stand in front of you. âI had a wonderful time on our date today.âÂ
Remus breathed out a chuckle as he placed your jacket that he had been carrying over your shoulders, taking a moment to squeeze your shoulder affectionately before moving to stand with James.
âDonât make any plans for next Hogsmeade weekend; weâll definitely be doing this again!â James called; Remus encouraging him forward by a hand on his waist as Sirius walked away from you backwards to continue looking you up and down.
âDonât miss us too much.â He said with a wink before turning to join the other two boys.
You woke up with a start, shooting upright in your bed as you sucked in a much needed breath. Goosebumps erupted all over your body as the feeling of being submerged in cold water began to dissipate and your nervous system realised it wasnât dying.
After nearly two decades of living with âthe giftâ of Sight, one would think your body would have a better response to it.
Alas, it still acted like you were moments away from death.
Perhaps it wasnât too far off, what with all your Sights of the Marauders overtaking your every waking (and sleeping) moment; perhaps you were dying, perhaps that would be preferable.
After taking a warm shower to bring some much needed heat back to your bones and wash away the residual nerves that your vision had caused, you decided to put it out of your mind; you would never agree to waste one of your precious Hogsmeade trips with the Marauders anyways, so there really was no point stewing over it.
You eventually made your way into the Slytherin common room to find Regulus and Barty already situated with a copy of the Daily Prophet.
âGood morning, Treasure!â Barty cheered as he stood abruptly from his spot on the sofa with Regulus. âHeading to Hogsmeade today?â
âYou know that I am, Barty.â You responded with a smirk. âI told you I needed to go to Tomes and Scrolls; the book I ordered should be in.â
âGreat!â Barty clapped his hands together. âI need to stop at Dogweed & Deathcap!â
âAbsolutely not.â
Barty paused in his excited tirade to look at you incredulously. âWhat do you mean, absolutely not!?â
âI mean you are absolutely not coming with me, Barty.â
âWhy!?â
âBarty.â You started as if you were speaking to a rather troublesome toddler. âLast time I let you come with me you had us kicked out of Zonkoâs and then spent two and half hours violently debating with the Dogweed & Deathcap shopkeep about the proper brewing times for veritaserum.âÂ
Barty stared at you bewilderedly as you held his gaze.
âYouâre really not going to let me come with you?â He asked after a painfully long silence.Â
âNo.â
Barty stomped his foot once and let out a petulant breath. âThen youâre not allowed to be my best woman at our wedding!â
Regulus looked up from the newspaper heâd been engrossed with in favour of this ridiculous conversation to look at the two of you in bemusement.
âWha-? Weâre not getting married?â Regulus stated as a question, effectively removing Bartyâs furious glare from you only to have it directed at himself.Â
âItâs just one sodding disappointment after another!â He screeched before turning and storming off towards the boysâ dormitory.Â
You and Regulus stared at the empty spot that was once Barty Crouch Junior before Regulus broke the silence by standing with a tired sigh.Â
âWell I guess I know what youâll be up to today.â You teased gently earning you a groan from the youngest Black.Â
âIf you happen to be by HoneydukesâŚâ
âYeah, yeah.â You cut him off, accepting the galleons he pulled from his pocket as he held them out to you. âIâll pick him up some sugared butterfly wings.âÂ
âThanks, Iâll need all the help I can get.â He grumbled as he made his way after his cantankerous boyfriend.Â
Even the dreary weather couldnât bring your mood down as you pocketed your galleons and accepted Bartyâs bag of sugared butterfly wings from the Honeydukes shopkeep.Â
You loved Hogsmeade, and you loved visiting with your friends, but sometimes there was nothing like enjoying a peaceful trip on your own.
Feeling quite pleased at having procured your special order from Tomes & Scrolls and successfully running Regulusâ errands, you pulled your hood up to protect yourself from the elements outside before pushing open the shop door only to collide with a heavy force on the other side.Â
âHullo, L/N!â James called as he quickly righted you.Â
This cannot be happening.Â
âYouâve got to be kidding me.â You grumbled as you stepped out of Jamesâ hold, pretending like you didnât notice the slight fall in his expression at the loss of contact.
âNope, I think youâll find Iâm really quite Sirius.â Sirius said with a wink.
âEw-â You started, turning to look at the longhaired boy in disgust. âThat was terrible. Thatâs a terrible joke.âÂ
âListen, when you get cursed with a name thatâs also an adjective, you get to make all the terrible jokes youâd like.â He responded plainly.Â
âYou get used to it.â Remus sighed; offering you a sympathetic crooked smile.
âI should think I wonât, thank you very much.â You said as you turned to walk away, only to feel a gentle hand grasp your elbow.
âWhoa whoa, whereâre you off too in such a hurry?â James asked teasingly.Â
âThe castle?â You responded quickly, immediately berating yourself for deigning to explain yourself to the likes of the Marauders.Â
âBefore lunch?â Remus asked then. âItâs not a trip to Hogsmeade without a stop at the Three Broomsticks.âÂ
âIâm not hungry.â You proclaimed with finality only for your stomach to traitorously contradict you by groaning rather loudly at the thought of one of your beloved tuna melts from the restaurant.
âLiar.â Sirius smirked smugly. âTo the Three Broomsticks!â
Before you had a chance to protest, Remus and Sirius were walking ahead as James threw his arm over your shoulders and guided you after them.
âGet your hands off of me, Potter.â You spat.
âSorry sweetheart, I wish I could, but then Iâd have no way of ensuring that you wouldnât just take off.â He apologised, not sounding very apologetic at all.Â
You thought of your Sight from this morning but decided you were relatively safe; they had called it a date - this was decidedly a hostage situation. Besides, the weather had been really rather lovely in your Sight; todayâs weather was quite the opposite.
It was fine.
This wasnât a date.
You were fine.
Just fine.Â
Except you had no sooner entered the Three Broomsticks before Sirius was pulling out a chair for you as James rather forcefully sat you in it; Remus quickly sitting and blocking your means of escape on your other side.
âIâll go order!â James called quickly before nearly skipping towards the bar to do just that.
Sirius sat across from you looking all sorts of chuffed at his current predicament, smiling knowingly between Remus and yourself. âSo,â he started. âAny more visions of your wonderful future with us?â
âBite me.â You spat immediately, hoping to all the gods that no one noticed the heat emanating from your cheeks at the question.Â
âIâll take that as a yes.â He smirked.
âBe nice to her.â Remus chided softly. âShe already doesnât want to be here.â
Thatâs right, you thought petulantly before quickly scolding yourself for agreeing with a Marauder.Â
Entirely too soon in your opinion did James return, happily sitting beside Sirius and looking around the table. âSo! Whatâd I miss?â
âY/N wants me to bite her.â Sirius responded quickly. âOkay!â James agreed readily. âNow?â
âOh my gods Iâm going to avada myself.â You muttered as you pressed your fingers into your temples.
âOh come now, not before lunch.â Remus chuckled, rubbing conciliatory circles onto your back.
You couldnât believe how tactile these boys seemed to be; they almost always had their hands on each other in some way. Sirius currently had a hand on Jamesâ thigh who had his arm thrown casually over the other boyâs shoulder. You were almost certain that James had extended his legs under the table and was currently playing some form of footsie with Remus, who, in turn, had his hand on your back.Â
And then you thought of the ease that James had thrown his arm over your own shoulder on your way here as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
âWhatâre you thinking so hard about?â Sirius asked, pressing a finger to the divot that was growing between your brows before you hastily swatted his hand away from you.
âJust wondering what I ever did in another life to deserve this.âÂ
âMustâve been an angel in another life to deserve us.â He responded haughtily.
âSheâs an angel in this life too.â James added; beaming smile making you feel as though you needed to squint your eyes lest you look directly at it.Â
The barkeep saved you from having to think of a response by placing food in front of each of you.
Your beloved tuna melt that you had been dreaming of earlier sat on a plate before you, confusing you as to how James seemed to know your order.
But perhaps he hadnât; perhaps the barkeep recognised you and knew what you usually ordered.Â
You pulled open the sandwich and were hit by another curiosity.
âThereâs no pickles?â You asked aloud, causing the three boys to look at you in bemusement.Â
âDid you want pickles?â James asked you slowly; his fork hovering over his plate as he delayed the first bite of his own meal on your account.Â
âWellâŚno, but it usually comes with pickles.â You explained dumbly.Â
âYes but you always pick them off, so I asked for no pickles.â He explained simply before finally taking his long awaited bite.Â
âHow did you know that?â You demanded rather harshly then.Â
âKnow what? Your order?â Sirius asked on Jamesâ behalf.
âYes. And the pickles.â
âBecause we pay attention?â Remus offered then; you could see him scrutinising you from the corner of your eye.
âDo you want me to go ask for pickles so that you can pick them off?â James teased then, an ill-suppressed amused grin threatening to overtake his face.Â
âNo, I want you to stop that.â
âStop what?â Sirius asked with a smirk. âKnowing things about you?â
âYes, that. Stop that.â You ordered.
âYouâd have to obliviate me.â James taunted, leaning on his elbow and resting his chin on his fist as he considered you.Â
âBetter make sure to get the incantation right, gorgeous.â Sirius added. âOtherwise youâll be responsible for his care when you ultimately put him into a vegetative state.â
You huffed petulantly before opting to take a bite from your sandwich in favour of continuing with your current conversation.Â
âIâm sorry, but I have to ask-â Remus started with an amused grin on his face. âIf you donât like pickles, why donât you just ask for no pickles?â
You let out a conceding sigh as you swallowed your bite. âI donât want to be a botherâŚitâs just as easy to pick them off myself.â
You felt shame prickle at the back of your neck when your answer was met with silence before Sirius let out a bark of laughter.Â
âOh my Godric,â He exclaimed excitedly. âYou are a big softy.âÂ
Against your better judgement you kicked your foot out at the long haired Marauder, horrified when James yelped before reaching under the table to rub his hand over his shin.Â
âFucking hells, sorry Potter.â You grumbled as you tried to curl in on yourself, watching as Remus cooed at the bespectacled boy and Sirius laughed at him.Â
âOh, no worries angel.â James offered you tightly, voice coloured with pain as he forced a smile at you. âMerlin, you've got quite the leg on you.â
âFuck yeah she does.â Sirius agreed salaciously, earning him a fiery glare from you as you considered re-aiming your foot.Â
âEasy there, dove. Play nice, yeah?â Remus murmured then, causing a shiver to rush down your spine as you turned to look at him with your mouth parted slightly.
You were absolutely horrified at the very visible reaction you had to the scarred boyâs endearment - and you knew it was a very visible reaction because Remus had a very visible reaction to it.Â
âYouâre alright, dove.â He murmured again, this time with a knowing smirk before turning back to his own sandwich and pretending like he hadnât just completely rocked your world with one simple word.Â
You looked over to see Sirius pick off of Jamesâ plate as you waited for James to use his fork as a weapon for the egregious crime of stealing food, only to see James quickly load up a fork-full and hold it out for Sirius to try.Â
âFuck, I should have ordered that instead.â Sirius admitted as he swallowed the bite.
âWanna switch?â James offered quickly, already lifting his plate to give Sirius room to slide his over should he want.Â
âIâm not taking your meal, bubs.â Sirius responded with a smile as a faint blush dusted the tops of his cheeks.Â
âYouâre not taking, Iâm offering.â James insisted, moving Siriusâ plate in front of him before placing his own plate in front of Sirius when it became obvious the other boy wasnât going to help.Â
âThank you.â Sirius admitted rather shyly for the notoriously boisterous boy before he pecked a kiss to Jamesâ cheek.
You looked over to Remus in bemusement only to see him looking lovingly over at his boyfriends.Â
âDid you wanna switch, too?â Remus asked then, alerting you to the fact that he was quite aware that you had been staring at him.
âAbsolutely not; you stay away from my tuna melt.â You spat before taking another bite.
You found yourself quite glad that the boys simply laughed before moving on to other topics of conversation, watching curiously as they talked and joked the afternoon away.
By the time the four of you were making your way back towards the castle the sky had cleared, leaving the spring air fresh and fragrant in the warm sun.
You felt a gentle tug and turned to watch Remus pull your jacket out of your arms before folding it over his own arm to carry it for you.
Shit.Â
âMoons! What do muggles call the game âleaping toadstoolsâ?â Sirius called suddenly from where he and James had run ahead.
Remus breathed out a chuckle as he smiled at them. âLeapfrog.â He called back with an audible eyeroll you were sure was mostly for show.
âRem, I bet five galleons that me and Pads can leapfrog the whole way back to the castle.â James shouted.
âIâm not betting.â
James let out a horrified scoff. âWhy not!?â
âBecause I know that you likely can even though you probably shouldnât.â He responded simply.
âDonât rain on our parade, Moony.â Sirius said dismissively, waving Remus off like he was the definition of anti-fun.Â
And to your absolute horror, you found yourself rather entertained as you watched them line up to play leapfrog; the only interruption of the game on your walk being to pet the odd cat, point at a patch of honking daffodils, and to run back and steal kisses from Remus (glaring at them when they threatened to do the same with you).Â
The sun was warm on your skin as the castle gates permeated your view. You were trying to hide your amused smile at the boysâ antics, though youâre sure you were unsuccessful when a gentle laugh escaped your lips.
James faltered in his steps at the sound, turning to look at you with a beaming smile.
âWell gorgeous,â Sirius teased with a salacious grin as he moved to stand in front of you. âI had a wonderful time on our date today.âÂ
Remus breathed out a chuckle as he placed your jacket that he had been carrying over your shoulders, taking a moment to squeeze your shoulder affectionately before moving to stand with James.
âDonât make any plans for next Hogsmeade weekend; weâll definitely be doing this again!â James called; Remus encouraging him forward by a hand on his waist as Sirius walked away from you backwards to continue looking you up and down.
âDonât miss us too much.â He said with a wink before turning to join the other two boys.
And though you would sooner die than admit this to anyone, after this rather lovely afternoon and with the amount of time the Marauders have spent leapfrogging through your mind, you didnât think you could miss them too much, even if you wanted to.

âYou look like a dog without its owner Crouchâ Regulus says as he enters the Slytherin common room and sits across from the aforementioned boy. âPiss off Black, donât you have a Gryffindor to bother?â Barty snarks back as he slinks into his chair in what anyone else besides him would consider a pout.
âMissing your boyfriend?â Regulus pouts back mockingly before Barty bares his teeth at him. âNo, actually. Y/Nâs spending the day with Remus, reading some stupid novelâ Barty counters with a huff. Regulus barks a laugh at the petulant expression on his friendâs face.
âWeâve been friends since we started Hogwarts and Iâve never seen you pout over anyone like that, other than Evanâ Regulus says simply and Barty looks at him in mock outrage.
âI do not pout!â Barty states, âbesides, I just miss her, Iâm used to spending most of my time with her and Evan that Iâm not sure what Iâm supposed to do when theyâre not aroundâ Barty complains as he lays down on the couch in the common room.
âYouâre in love with herâ Regulus coughs out and Barty turns to look at him with a glare. âwhat??â Barty hisses and Regulus shrugs with a knowing smirk. âTalk to your boyfriend about it Crouchâ
Barty huffs and with an indignant huff of, âmaybe I will!â He stalks off to wherever the fuck Evan is.
After looping the school twice, Barty finds Evan smoking a cigarette in the courtyard, he walks over to him without so much as a hello before heâs pulling him into an empty classroom. âHello to you love, if you wanted a quick shag you couldâve just told meâ Evan smirks in greeting but is met with Bartyâs scowl.
âHey, whatâs wrong?â Evan coos in immediate worry, Bartyâs only tell of his surprise is the slight widening of his eyes before he shakes his head. His expressions shifts to contemplation before he presses a quick kiss to Evanâs lips. âRegulus thinks Iâm in love with Y/Nâ Barty states deadpan.
Evanâs eyes widen and his mouth drops open slightly, âwhat?!â He says, ââŚare you?â He asks skeptically and Barty is quick to shake his head.
âNo!â Barty defends himself before he looks at Evan with a look of suspicion, âdo you think I am?â He asks incredulously. âWhat? No!â Evan immediately denies but then looks slightly uneasy.
âI meanâŚweâre not exactly very platonic with her, are we?â Evan says with a slight wince. Barty quirks a brow and shakes his head, âbut weâre like that with everyone, remember when I tried to kiss Reg on his cheek and he punched me in the face, but when I did it to Dora she was okay with it!â Barty says with fake cheer, almost forceful sounding.
âYeah! sure!, I mean, of course weâre not in love with her, Regulus doesnât know what heâs on about!â Evan says but hopes to himself that Barty doesnât look closer into him to notice the slight twinge of falseness in his tone.
Barty nods in a decisive manner before a contemplative silence envelopes the two lovers, disrupted only by the sound of the school bell. âIâm gonna go check on Y/N, wanna come?â Barty quickly asks and they share a look of understanding, neither willing to admit what theyâre feeling.
âSure, havenât seen her all day!â Evan says as his tummy swirls in a mixture of anticipation and what he hopes is excitement.
âBeen studying with Remusâ Barty says offhandedly, unbeknownst to Evanâs inner turmoil as an ugly feeling bubbles under his skin, one heâs only felt after finding out that Barty used to have feelings for Regulus.
Evan pushes it down, not letting himself think too much about it in fear of it confirming something heâs not ready to vocalize.
As they reach the Gryffindor common room, Barty mutters the password in slight impatience before he walks briskly to the couches where you and Remus seem to reside.
Sitting close enough for your arms and legs to be touching, Evanâs eye twitches at the sight, Barty scoops you up within immediate notice and places you in his lap on the other couch. Much to your chagrin and Remusâ amusement.
âRosier, Crouchâ Remus says in greeting with a small smirk and a knowing glance as Bartyâs hands splayed over your midsection to keep you from moving.
âLupinâ Evan and Barty growl in distaste. âBarty, let. me. go.â You growl as you struggle in his hold, âstop struggling angel, I missed youâ Barty huffs as he places his face in the crook of your neck, placing a soft kiss in the area.
Remus only meets Evanâs gaze with a quirked eyebrow before Evan huffs and moves to sit on the other side of the couch next to Barty, pulling your legs into his lap as he strokes your leg in soft touches, letting you readjust your position in Bartyâs lap.
Your leg muscles tense before relaxing as you meet Evanâs calm gaze. âHiâ you murmur, abashedly at the attention from both boys. âHi angelâ Evan murmurs back in a tone laced with affection. His eyes not leaving yours as he allows his mouth to curve into a rare, gentle smile.
Your eyes widen as you look at him as your face heats, âgood day?â You cough out, embarrassed by your lack of composure. âDull, getting better thoughâ he says as his pupils expand as he continues to watch you, lovesick.
Barty only hums, âwhat did Evan do to get such a sweet greeting?â Barty pouts and you canât help but smile, which seemingly quells any qualms Barty had concerning whatever argument he was about to hold with you.
âHello Juniorâ you coo affectionately, his eyes widen significantly before a wide grin blooms across his face. He looks more boyish in comparison to the unhinged and emotionless Slytherin the rest of Hogwarts knows.
Youâre unaware of Remus bidding you all goodbye as he makes his way back to his dorm, too enraptured by the gazes of the two boys in front of you.
âAngelâ Barty says with a grin as he looks all over your face with adoration, lifting a hand from your waist to push a lock of your hair behind your ear.
You laugh before looking towards the other couch, only now noticing the departure of your dear friend. âOh no! I was supposed to help Remus with his herbology notes!â You say with a gasp.
âLeave it.â Barty murmurs and he pulls you back into him, your form melting at the familiar sense of his hands on your waist. âMeet with him tomorrowâ Evan supplies helpfully and you smile back in thanks with a nod.
You snuggle deeper into the chest of Barty as you pull Evan to lie further on top of you. âTired?â Barty hums again as he places his hand into your hair, softly playing with it an subsequently lulling you to sleep.
You only half-assedly hum and close your eyes as you turn to let Evan lay his head in the crook of your neck and shoulder and your place your lips in his hair, kissing it softly.
Unbeknownst to you, the position allows both Evan and Barty to make eye contact, something they had both been eagerly avoiding in fear of what the other might find in their gaze.
We are so fucked Barty mouths to Evan, who only smiles wider and shrugs nonchalantly.
Who cares is his only reply.

Am I the only one who thinks most of the Marauders and the Slytherin Skittles would have the biggest praise kink in history ?
warnings: smut
James would have one because of his constant need to be perfect, to be what he thinks the others need him to be: the perfect son, the perfect friend, the perfect student. But he always has doubts âam I enough ?â, âam I doing enough ?', âwill they like me ? â, âwhat if they donât ? what if they hate me ?â He needs to be reassured that he is. He is enough, he is more than enough.Â
I feel like it would be more prominent while he is intimate with you. He is mostly afraid of not living up to the expectation he thinks you have of him. So you make sure he knows that he makes you literally touch the sky.
âThat was the best match iâve ever watched ! Merlin, you were brilliant on that broom Jamesâ after Gryffindor wins the last match of the year.
âWhat do you mean âstupidâ ? Theyâre your glasses baby, they help you see. And you look really hot wearing them in my opinionâ after he overhears someone talking about another person and saying they look stupid with that specific pair of glasses.
âLike that, baby. Youâre doing so goodâ while he is covering your neck with kisses and gentle bites.
âYes, yes, fuck, right there Jamieâ after a particularly deep and strong thrust leaves you breathless.
âYou look so good between my legs, loveâ while he is eating you out messily and hungrily and so, so perfectly.
âNo one feels as good as you. No one could ever make me feel the way you do, Jamesâ while he is still inside of you, catching his breath and looking at you with devotion.
âAre you sure it was ok ?â
âJames, it was more than ok. My legs are shaking baby, that's a sign that it was pretty damn amazingâ
âAre you serious ?â
âApart from the very lame joke I am sure youâre thinking about, yes, I am. Actually, why donât I show you how serious I really am ?â
âWhat do you mean, baby?â
âI mean that youâre gonna fuck me again and iâll show you how much I always crave your lips, then a third time and iâll make sure the entire castle hears how you can make me cry with just your tongue, then a fourth because that perfect dick of yours needs to be fucking worshipped, and, finally, a fifth to show you that you fuck me so good that not a single coherent thought processes in my head when you're taking me apart on your cock, JamieâÂ
Remus would have one because he has hated himself his whole life. He feels like a monster, like he doesnât deserve all the love he is surrounded by, like all the good things people say about him are just lies. And he knows the truth, he knows he is nothing but an horrid creature and that he doesnât deserve to be loved. Except that it isnât the truth, and you tell him everyday.
With him I feel like it would be more out of the bedroom, and outside of sex, but not exclusively.
âYouâre really good at that spell Remus, mind showing me how itâs done ?â after he gets a rather difficult charm right at the first try.
âYou look very hot today, Rem. Well, you look hot everyday actuallyâ which makes him blush from head to toes.
âYouâre the best, you know ? You really areâ after he explains a difficult concept that nobody else got, but him.
âHoly hell, right there Remus. You feel way too goodâ while he eases in and out of you with a steady rhythm, knocking the air out of your lungs.
âYou take such good care of meâ while he is going down on you, slowly, sensually and with a glint of hunger in his eyes, knowing exactly what to do to make you fall apart.
âI love you, you know that right ?â
âYes, darling. You tell me everydayâÂ
âWell, thatâs not enough. From now on, I'll tell you twice a dayâ
âBut why ?â
âBecause itâs true' and then you give him the sweetest kiss.
Sirius would have one because he has been told his whole life that he wasnât enough. That he needed to be better, to do better, to be a better heir for the Noble House of Black, to be a better son, to be a better brother. He was told that he was worthless, that his parents had no use in having a son like him. He was a disappointment, a shame to the family. For them he didnât exist anymore.
But for you he was the most perfect person to ever walk on earth. Your brightest star.
He would love it both inside and outside the bedroom. I feel like he would also ask you to tell him something that makes him feel good, especially when he is having a bad day. He has no problem being praised in public, but he becomes especially vulnerable when youâre intimate because he can finally let go.
âTell me what did I do to have the best boyfriend ever ?â After he brings you flowers one day because he told you they reminded them of you.
âItâs ok Sirius, youâll get it eventually. Youâre one of the best students, you just need a bit more time which is totally fineâ after the tenth time he tries to get one of the most difficult spells right, only for it to go wrong.
âYouâre worth it Sirius. Youâre worth every single good thing that happens to you, never doubt thatâ after he breaks down reading one of his mothers older letters, full of foul words directed at him.
âYouâre such a good boy, arenât you ?â after he listens to you so well, kissing every inch of your body.
âFuck, you should see yourself baby. You look so good, so perfect for meâ while youâre on his lap, riding him slowly to savor that sultry fucked out expression on his face that makes you go feral.
âYouâre so sweet, Sirius, do you know that ? So fucking sweetâ after you bob your head on his length, swirling your tongue around his head to suck gently as his taste coats your mouth.
âWas I good ?â
âYouâre always good, Sirius. More thanâ
âAre you sure ?â
âDo you want me to describe in detail how good you are at splitting me open in every position known to man ? Because I can do that if you want. Might take three whole days though, a week if you want me to talk about that sinful tongue of yours, tooâ
âI think we have enough timeâ and then you both start laughing.
Regulus would have one because heâs been second his whole life. Second for his brother, second for his parents before Sirius left , sometimes he feels second even for his friends. He thinks no one cares deeply about him, heâs just there as a rebound. Heâs never been anyoneâs first choice, and he thinks he never will be.
You make sure he knows that not only he would be your first choice in every lifetime, but that he would also be the only choice for you, no one else would or could ever compare. He is the center of your universe after all.
I feel like he would blush like crazy and pretend he is annoyed by your words when youâre in public and you praise him even for the simplest thing, but his eyes would also warm up a little, just for a second, before going back to his blank and rather stoic expression. He would be a mess in the bedroom though, when he can finally let go and he allows himself to feel good about the sweet words that leave your lips.
âYou have the prettiest eyes I have ever seenâ after he catches you staring at him for a moment too long.
âYour poems are literally art, Regulus. I canât believe you can write like this, you know this is pure talent, right ?â after he shows you his poems for the first time and you nearly cry because more than half of them are dedicated to you.
âYou were so good up there, Reggie. And the way you caught the Snitch ? Fucking incredible. You are incredibleâ after Slytherin wins one of the biggest matches of the season thanks to Regulus catching the Snitch one minute from the end.
âYou feel so good, love. Stretching me out so wellâ after his cock slides inside of you perfectly, filling you up so nicely.
âEyes on me, Regulus. Theyâre so gorgeous, I want them focused me while I make you cum, ok ? Be good and keep them openâ as you stroke his length up and down, feeling the velvety soft skin on your palm as you give his head a gentle suck, tasting him on your tongue.
âYouâre so pretty when youâre all fucked out, Reggie. You feel so good taking me like thisâ while youâre riding him and he looks at you with hazy eyes, lust and pure bliss fogging his brainâ
âIâm yours Regulus. Iâm undoubtedly, irrevocably and utterly yoursâ
âPromise meâ
âI promise, Iâm not going anywhere. Iâm afraid youâre stuck with me forever, actuallyâ
âMmh, itâs gonna be hard, but Iâll survive I guessâ while youâre still joined, one body and one soul as you kiss him slowly and sweetly, his tone sarcastic but betrayed by the smile that's progressively growing on his lips.
Barty would have one because his father never gave him his attention. He was never enough for him, never a good son, never a good student, never good. He was constantly ignored, and the few times his father acknowledged him was to tell him that he was a lost cause, a disgrace, a shame. He was just a stupid boy, too reckless, too careless, too unhinged, too much, and, at the same time, never enough. But it wasnât like that. He was a bit impulsive, and sometimes he went a little bonkers, but he was a good person, and there were people who cared about him and his well being. You always made sure he knew that. He was your priority.
I have a feeling that he would be completely unashamed of being praised in public exactly like he is praised in the bedroom. Probably not in front of the whole school, but he wouldn't really care if people eavesdropped, his crooked grin widening when he notices their horrified faces. It is their fault, they could mind their own damn business.
âYes, Barty, youâve been a good boyâ after he asks you if he has been good after getting an O in Potions.
âBaby, weâre in public, I canât just scream about how good you fuck me. There are people eating, for Merlinâs sakeâ after he sees a guy talking to you before sitting at the table in the Great Hall. He asks you if you could tell him that he is the only one who could make you come with just his skilled fingers.
âDonât think like that ever again, Barty. You are not a lost cause, you aren't. You deserve good things, you deserve the best things, sweetie. You deserve to be loved, and I do. I love you so much Barty, donât ever think you are not important to me because you are. You mean the world to meâ after he receives a letter from his father asking how a cretin like him was able to find someone who could love him. If he hadnât begged you to stop after calming down a little you wouldâve been in Azkaban with a murder charge by now.
âFuck, I love when you do that. Feels amazing, babyâ after he trails a path of kisses down your chest only to focus on the tender flesh of your nipple as he sucks gently, and grazes it with his teeth, teasing you.
âHarder, baby. I know you like it like thisâ while his thrusts become more erratic, stronger and deeper and you can hardly think.
âYouâre cock is perfect, Barty. Fills my mouth so nicelyâ while youâre sucking him off, his tip hits your throat and you swallow as the loudest moan leaves his mouth.
âI told Mulciber that no one can make you scream as loud as I doâ
âYou did what ?! Barty !â
âWhat ? Is it not true ?â
âI- of course itâs true, but why did you have to tell him ?â
âHe was being rather cocky about the fact that he could make you scream like, and I quote âa bitchâ. Then he started using other very disrespectful words to describe you baby, and at that point I had to punch him right in the face, because no one has to even dare to talk about you like that. He is actually lucky my Sectumsempra is not perfect yet, or he wouldâve ended way worse. And then I added that little detail. I probably shouldnât have done it, but I was furious. Do you want me to obliviate him ? I can do that if you wantâ
âItâs fine, he needs some salt rubbed on his woundsâ
âAre you sure ?â
âYes, baby. And itâs nothing new, I'm sure the entire dorm hears me when youâre fucking me, I can't help it. Now come on my knight in bloody knuckles, letâs go to Madame Pomfrey to get those bruises checkedâ you kiss him lightly before heading to the infirmary.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk đ¤

Jealousy, Jealousy
Where the boys get jealous... (Feat. Barty, Regulus, Sirius, Remus, and James)
WC: ~3.5k
CW: Fem!Reader, a few cusses, obsessive and possessive boys, Remus and Moony are written as different characters.
Barty gets asked if you're singleâŚ
Barty leaned against the stone wall of the corridor, arms crossed and a lazy smirk playing on his lips as the boy in front of him tried to find his footing in the conversation. It was late enough in the evening that most of the students had cleared out, leaving the space quiet except for the faint echo of distant footsteps. The boy- what was his name? Probably irrelevant- was shifting his weight nervously, though he tried to mask it with a forced bravado.
âSo,â The boy began again, licking his lips as though trying to sound casual. âYouâre close with her, right? I mean, you two are always together.â
Barty raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening just a touch as he tilted his head- pulling the smoke from between his lips. âWeâre friends,â Barty replied easily, though the word friends came out slow and deliberate, almost like a challenge.
The boy took a deep breath, seemingly bolstered by Bartyâs nonchalant tone. âRight, yeah. I figured.â He hesitated, then plunged forward, clearly emboldened by the silence. âI was just wondering, you know⌠do you think sheâd go for someone like me?â
Barty blinked. For the briefest moment, his expression was unreadable- like he hadnât quite heard the question correctly. Then, like a switch being flipped, he grinned widely, his whole face lighting up as though the very idea had amused him to no end.
âYou?â He repeated, laughter edging his voice as he uncrossed his arms and pushed off the wall. He took a deep breath of his smoke and let the ash slip onto the boy's shoe, who quickly shook it off. Barty gestured at the boy vaguely, as though considering his entire existence. âYouâre asking if you would have a shot?â
The boyâs bravado faltered slightly at Bartyâs tone, but he straightened his shoulders, forcing a confident nod. âYeah. I mean, sheâs nice to everyone, right? So I thought- â
âOh, thatâs precious,â Barty interrupted smoothly, his voice warm but condescending. He stepped closer, his free hand sliding into his pocket, his green eyes glinting as he looked the boy over. âShe is nice to everyone, isnât she? Thatâs what makes her soâŚâ He paused, pretending to search for the right word. âEnchanting, I suppose.â
The boy relaxed just a fraction at Bartyâs seemingly complimentary tone, but Bartyâs smile sharpened as he took another step forward.
âHereâs the thing,â Barty continued, his voice softening into something dangerously close to friendly. âYouâre not a bad bloke, are you?â He flicked his robes, letting the smoke from his cigarette fill the boys senses. âClean enough robes, decent enough grades- probably someone your mumâs very proud of. Real cookie cutter, yeah?â
The boy blinked, caught off guard. âUh⌠I guess?â
Barty grinned wider. âSee? Nothing wrong with you at all. And yetâŚâ He trailed off, taking another hit before he blatantly blew the smoke into his face. Even then he still found himself leaning in slightly, his voice dropping lower. âSheâs not for you.â
The boy coughed, shooing away the smoke, confused. âWhat do you mean? Sheâs not- â
âLet me save you some time, mate,â Barty cut in smoothly, stepping around him as though they were taking a casual stroll together. âDo you know what she wants to be after she graduates? How she wrinkles her nose when she laughs too hard- how much she hates when someone brings it up? Or how sheâll hum to herself when she thinks no oneâs listening? How to make her smile on her worst days?â He glanced back over his shoulder, his smile full of sharp teeth. âYou donât, do you?â
The boy shifted uncomfortably under the weight of Bartyâs words. âNo, but- â
Barty whirled back to face him, the sudden movement causing the boy to flinch. âThatâs the problem though, innit?â He said softly, his voice dripping with false sympathy. âYou donât know her. Not really. And she deserves someone who does.â
The boy looked frustrated now, his confidence cracking under Bartyâs pointed gaze. âYouâre just saying that because you think youâre better for her!â
Bartyâs smirk vanished. The shift was subtle but immediate, the playfulness draining from his face as his eyes turned icy, pinning the boy where he stood. âBetter for her?â Barty echoed softly, his tone devoid of its earlier amusement. âIâd destroy myself for her. Iâd burn the whole bloody world down if it so much as thought about hurting her. I've spent years of my life making sure she'd never know fear when I'm around.â
The boy opened his mouth to respond, but no words came. Barty stepped closer, forcing him to back up until his shoulders hit the cold stone wall. Flicking out his cig and tossing it at his chest.
âYou donât understand devotion, mate,â Barty continued, his voice low, almost a whisper. âNot the kind that keeps you awake at night, wondering if sheâs happy. Not the kind that has you ready to rip apart anyone who so much as looks at her the wrong way. That kind of love⌠itâs not for people like you.â
The boy swallowed hard, his eyes darting away as though trying to escape Bartyâs unrelenting stare.
Barty tilted his head, the hint of a smile returning to his lips, though it held none of its earlier warmth. âBut donât worry,â he said lightly, taking a small step back. âIâm not angry. Youâre harmless, really. Like a moth buzzing too close to something far too bright for you to touch. Happens to everyone who meets her.â
The boy shifted uneasily, his face pale as he tried to muster some shred of dignity. âYouâre crazy,â He muttered under his breath.
Barty grinned at that, his eyes glinting with something almost feral. âProbably,â He admitted cheerfully, shrugging. âJust trust me mate. You wouldn't survive the competition.â
~~~
Regulus sees a guy trying to ask you outâŚ
You were standing just outside the courtyard, the stone archways sheltering you and a nervous-looking Gryffindor boy from the cool autumn breeze. Heâd stopped you after class, clearly trying to build up the courage to ask something. You were being polite, as always, listening with a soft smile while he stumbled over his words.
Regulus hadnât been far, of course. He never was, though you hadnât noticed him watching you from across the courtyard, his keen gray eyes narrowing slightly at the boyâs sudden presence.
âSo, um,â the Gryffindor started, shifting on his feet and running a hand through his hair. âI was wondering if- uh- well, maybe youâd like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend? Just us?â
You blinked, surprised by the question. âOh- â
Before you could finish, Regulus moved in like a shadow, silent and swift. Without a word, he appeared at your side and leaned down, resting his chin casually on your shoulder. The gesture startled you, your breath hitching as his weight settled comfortably there, familiar but intrusive all the same.
âAre you busy, ma moitiĂŠ?â Regulus asked smoothly, his tone soft, casual, and laced with just a hint of amusement. He ignored the Gryffindor completely, acting as if he didnât exist.
Your face turned slightly to the side, startled by his sudden proximity. âRegulus? What are you- â
âWe have that thing to do, remember?â Regulus murmured, his voice low but perfectly clear. He tilted his head, the movement brushing his hair softly against your cheek.
The Gryffindor frowned, his nerves quickly shifting to irritation. âWhat thing? I was just asking her something- â
Regulus finally glanced at him, his gaze lazy and unbothered but chilling nonetheless. âHow generous of you to interrupt,â he said coolly, his chin still perched on your shoulder as though he hadnât a care in the world.
The boy bristled. âI didnât interrupt- â
Regulus cut him off with a small, sardonic smile, as though he were correcting a child. âYou didnât mean to, Iâm sure,â he drawled. âBut, you see, we have plans. So unless youâre particularly fond of wasting her timeâŚâ
You frowned slightly, your hand moving to nudge Regulusâs shoulder as if to make him move. âReg, thatâs not- â
âIsnât it?â Regulus replied smoothly, tilting his head ever so slightly, the hint of a smirk playing on his lips.
The Gryffindorâs face flushed, clearly caught off guard by Regulusâs presence and tone. He looked at you, frustration in his voice. âLook, I just wanted to- â
âI think you should go,â Regulus said, his voice as light and polite as ever, though there was no mistaking the ice beneath it.
The Gryffindor hesitated, but Regulusâs unwavering stare pinned him in place. It wasnât a glare- Regulus didnât need to glare to be intimidating. His calm, unwavering confidence was sharp enough. After another awkward pause, the boy muttered, âMaybe another time.â
He turned and walked off, shoulders tense and ears red.
Regulus finally lifted his chin from your shoulder, straightening up with a look of faint satisfaction. You turned on him immediately, pouting a bit with your bottom lip jotted out- eyebrows furrowing and your arms crossed. âThat wasn't very nice, Black.â
Regulus shrugged and wrapped his arm around your waist as he turned you away from the courtyard. âHeâll live.â
~~~
Sirius seeing someone flirt with youâŚ
It was a lovely spring afternoon by the Black Lake. The sunlight filtered through the branches of the nearby trees, dancing over the rippling water. A cool breeze swept through the air, ruffling your hair as you sat cross-legged on a blanket, deep in conversation with a Slytherin boy.
The boy- someone vaguely familiar, you thought his name was Marcus- had approached you earlier in the day, something about needing help with Potions. He was pleasant enough, a bit shy, though you couldnât help but notice how often he looked away or scratched the back of his neck when you smiled.
ââŚand, you know, itâs just the stirring,â Marcus was saying, his voice faltering slightly as his eyes darted to yours. âI keep- well, messing it up. Slughorn says Iâm overthinking it.â
You offered a gentle smile, always patient. âItâs probably just nerves,â you reassured him kindly. âYouâre better at it than you think, Iâm sure. Do you want me to walk you through it?â
Marcus blinked, visibly perking up. âOh- yeah, thatâd be great, I mean- â
âAh, there you are,â Sirius Blackâs unmistakable drawl cut through the serene afternoon like a thunderclap.
Both of you turned toward the voice, and there he was. Sirius stood at the edge of the blanket with his hands shoved lazily in the pockets of his trousers, the sunlight making his dark hair shine like ink. There was an unmistakable mischief in his gray eyes as he looked from you to Marcus and back again.
âSirius,â You said with a mix of surprise and mild annoyance, straightening where you sat. âWhat are you doing here?â
âWhat, canât a man visit his favorite girl?â He replied with a grin, though his gaze sharpened ever so slightly as it flicked toward Marcus. âYou know, itâs dangerous out here by the lake. Giant squids, rouge bludgers, snakes- all that. Best youâre not left alone with someone⌠inexperienced.â
Marcusâs face flushed, clearly thrown off. âI think sheâs doing fine, thanks,â he muttered, trying to sound confident but failing miserably.
Sirius smirked, as though that was the response heâd been hoping for. Without any preamble, he dropped onto the blanket beside you- practically on top of you- his long legs stretching out as he sprawled back against the grass like he owned the entire lakeshore.
âMerlinâs beard, itâs exhausting being me,â he said dramatically, folding his arms behind his head. âYou donât mind, do you, sweetheart? Just needed to rest my bones for a bit.â
You rolled your eyes. âSirius, Iâm kind of busy- â
âOh, donât let me interrupt,â he said innocently, though the smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth was anything but. âGo on, Marcus. You were talking about⌠stirring, was it?â
Marcus shot Sirius a pointed glare. âWe were in the middle of something.â
âWere you?â Sirius replied, eyes gleaming with barely contained amusement. âCouldâve fooled me.â
You frowned, nudging him with your elbow. âSirius, stop being difficult.â
âIâm not being difficult.â He purred smoothly, shifting just enough to rest his head against your shoulder, his hair brushing your neck as though it was the most natural thing in the world. âJust keeping an eye on you. Someone has to.â
Your face burned at the unexpected affection, though you tried your best to seem unbothered. Marcus, however, looked positively livid, his fists clenching and unclenching by his sides.
âYouâre doing this on purpose,â Marcus accused, glaring at Sirius.
Sirius blinked up at him, all mock innocence. âMe? What on earth would I be doing on purpose?â
âYou know what- â
âMarcus,â you interrupted, sighing as you tried to salvage the conversation. âMaybe we can pick this up later. Itâs⌠getting a bit distracting.â
Marcus glanced at you, frustrated but resigned, his gaze lingering a moment longer before he nodded stiffly. âSure. Later.â
He stalked off without another word, leaving you alone with Sirius, who was grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
âYouâre an ass.â You huffed, finally shoving him off your shoulder.
Sirius sat up with a dramatic groan, smirking as he stretched out his arms. âMerlin, that was exhausting.â
You glared at him, exasperated. âWhat was that?â
âThat, my dear,â Sirius said, grinning cheekily, âwas me doing you a favor. You donât honestly want to spend your afternoon discussing stirring, do you?â
âThatâs not the point!â You argued, narrowing your eyes. âHe was just being nice, and you scared him off!â
âGood,â Sirius replied smugly, lying back down with his hands behind his head. âCouldnât risk losing you to someone boring.â
âYouâre ridiculous.â
âI could be practical- real practical. We can talk about stirring.â
You huffed, trying to hide the small smile tugging at your lips.
Sirius turned his head to look at you, his grin softening ever so slightly as his stormy eyes held yours. âBesides,â he added, voice quieter now, âitâs much better when itâs just us, donât you think?â
~~~
Remus finds you asleep on someone he doesn't knowâŚ
The Gryffindor common room was dimly lit, the fire burning low, its golden light casting lazy shadows across the walls. Most students had gone to bed, and silence blanketed the space, save for the occasional pop of burning wood.
Remus hadnât been able to sleep. Heâd lain awake for what felt like hours, restlessness gnawing at him as Moony clawed at the edges of his mind, pacing.
Sheâs not where she's supposed to be, Moony murmured, insistent and low, like a growl rumbling through his chest. Go to her. Find her.
It was nonsense, of course. You were probably curled up in your dormitory, safe and warm, and yet Moonyâs unease bled into Remus, like an itch he couldnât scratch. He sighed, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed and padding barefoot to the staircase. Just to be sure. Just to calm Moony.
When he reached the bottom of the stairs, the fire caught his eye first. Then he saw you.
You were curled up in a worn armchair by the fire, your head tilted to rest softly against the shoulder of a fifth-year boy Remus barely recognized. The boy sat stiffly, afraid to move, his expression somewhere between frozen panic and misplaced pride.
Moony stilled.
And then he snarled.
Get her up. Sheâs vulnerable.
Remus stopped in place, his breath catching as an instinct he couldnât quite name surged through him. Moonyâs anger wasnât a loud roar this time- it was quiet, simmering like an ember. Whatâs he doing there? Sheâs asleep. He shouldnât be near her. She's vulnerable.
Remus swallowed hard, his fingers twitching as he tried to steady himself. He didnât want to startle you, and he didnât want to scare the boy. He wasnât angry- not really. But Moony⌠Moony didnât understand manners.
Before he fully realized what he was doing, Remus moved forward. Quiet as a shadow, he stopped in front of the chair, his amber-tinged eyes fixed on the boy.
The younger Gryffindor glanced up nervously. âOh. Uh- Lupin- she fell asleep. I didnât want to wake her.â
Remus didnât say anything at first, his gaze shifting to you. Your breathing was soft and steady, one arm curled loosely under your head. Moony quieted just a little at the sight, though the wolfâs presence still pressed against Remusâs ribs, heavy and protective.
âSheâll be more comfortable in her own bed,â Remus said finally, his voice low and calm. âIâll take her.â
The boy blinked, confused. âI- what?â
Remus lifted his chin slightly, his tone firm despite the gentleness in it. âYou can go. Iâll make sure she gets to her dorm.â
The boy hesitated, but something in Remusâs steady gaze seemed to settle the matter. âRight. Yeah. Sure,â he mumbled awkwardly, carefully shifting out from under you. He moved to stand, glancing one last time at you before hurrying up the stairs, his footsteps fading into the quiet.
Remus let out a slow breath, crouching down next to you. Moony settled just a little further, content now that the boy was gone, but still restless, still protective.
Sheâs too exposed, Moony murmured. Wake her. Take her where sheâs safe.
Remus hesitated, watching the way your lashes fluttered faintly against your cheeks as you stirred, your lips parting slightly as though searching for the warmth that had left. His heart tugged in his chest, guilt biting at him.
âDovie,â He called softly, his voice barely above a whisper. He reached out, his hand hovering over your arm for just a moment before gently brushing against your shoulder. âUp you get, lovely girl.â
You shifted with a quiet murmur, blinking blearily as your eyes fluttered open. âMmm⌠Remus?â
âHey.â He cooed, his lips curving into a small, careful smile. âYou fell asleep down here.â
âOh.â You blinked again, sitting up slowly and rubbing at your eyes. You looked around in confusion before your gaze landed back on him. âWhat time is it?â
âLate,â He chuckled, standing to his full height as he offered you a hand. âCome on. Iâll walk you to your dorm.â
You frowned sleepily, tilting your head. âYou donât have to do that.â
Remusâs jaw tightened faintly, and for a moment, he swore he could feel Moonyâs growl rumbling deep inside him. She needs protecting. Donât leave her here.
âI insist,â He said gently, his voice soft but brooking no argument. âYouâll sleep better in your own bed.â
You yawned, smiling at him as you took his hand. âIf you say so.â
~~~
James steals the show from your newest admirerâŚ
The Gryffindor common room was alive with its usual evening bustle- cards flying in midair from a game of Exploding Snap, the fire crackling merrily, and the low hum of chatter filling every corner. You were perched on the arm of one of the chairs, laughing softly as a chaser- Finn regaled you with a story from practice, his easy-going charm and dramatic hand gestures keeping you engaged.
Finnâs voice was lively, something about a Bludger mishap and the newest Beater, and you couldnât help the bright smile it pulled from you.
James, sitting across the room with Sirius and Remus, had been halfway through a halfhearted game of Wizardâs Chess when he noticed.
âProngs,â Sirius said, nudging him when his knight didnât move. âYour move, mate.â
James didnât hear him. His hazel eyes were fixed on the sight of you leaning just a little closer to Finn, laughing at something heâd said.
James sat up straighter, his jaw tightening.
âEarth to Prongs?â Sirius waved a hand in front of Jamesâs face, earning himself a scowl.
âDo you lot know,â James said suddenly, his voice pitched loud enough to carry across the room, âabout the time I stole Filchâs keys and locked him in his own office? Poor guy thought Peeves was after him.â
All at once, a ripple of laughter swept through the room. Students turned toward James with wide smiles and bright eyes, a chorus of, âNo way!â and âYouâve got to tell us!â filling the air.
Finn faltered mid-sentence, glancing toward the growing crowd around James.
You shot Finn an apologetic smile, clearly torn between listening to the end of his story and the infectious energy that always followed your best friend. Jamesâs grin was wide and charming as ever, his eyes twinkling mischievously- but when his gaze flicked to yours, something sharper lingered beneath the warmth.
He hadnât stopped looking at Finn once.
âWhat happened?â One of the younger students urged eagerly, completely captivated by Jamesâs easy charisma.
âAh, you wouldnât believe it,â James replied, leaning back in his seat as though he had all the time in the world. His voice was smooth, his confidence magnetic. âIâd hidden behind that big grandfather clock, you know the one? Filch swore up and down heâd heard a ghost- but he couldnât figure out how the door locked from the outside. Poor bloke works at Hogwarts and still doesn't grasp magic!â
More laughter erupted, and James winked at you as if to say, See? Isnât this better?
Finn glanced at you, clearly realizing heâd lost your attention entirely. âI, um⌠I guess Iâll finish the story later,â He muttered sheepishly.
âOh, Iâm sorry!â You said, genuinely apologetic, but Finn was already waving you off.
âItâs fine. James has a habit of stealing the spotlight anyway,â he joked, though his tone wasnât without a hint of frustration. He wandered off toward his dorm room, leaving you to turn toward James and his growing group of admirers.
Later, Sirius confronted James about his little stunt. Calling him jealous, James scoffs dramatically. âJealous? Me? Please. Iâm just looking out for her.â
Sirius raises an eyebrow. âLooking out for her, or making sure no one else looks at her?â
James shrugs, a smug little grin tugging at his lips. âSame thing, really.â

loving is easy | poly!rosekiller x Black!oc
pairing: poly!rosekiller x black!oc, regulusâ twin warnings: fluff, gn!oc, not edited wc: 427
âfinally! youâre back!â barty had announced with a smirk as evan entered the dungeons, his feet dragging along the cold stone floors. the slytherin common room was characteristically cold, the only warmth came from the fire in front of the you. as the night wore on, the number of occupants dwindled, yet the fire remained steadfast. all that remained were you, barty and regulus as you waited for evan to return from the library.
you and your twin turned to face the blond when the only reply he could muster was a heavy sigh. catching evanâs eye as he approached, you exchanged a small smile, though it seemed to take some effort from him.
âcome sit, evan,â you gestured to the armchair opposite the three of you. âyou look exhausted, my love.â evan only hummed in response. he slowly made his way towards the couch where his two lovers and friend sat, briefly caressing bartyâs neck before stopping in front of regulus.
âshift it,â he murmurs to your twin.
âevan, thereâs an empty chair right behind you,â regulus argues.
âreg,â evan sighs, ânow if youâd please.â his tone left little room for argument.
regulus grumbles about his audacity now that heâs dating his sibling, but reluctantly moves anyway. evan slumps into the space next to you, arm resting on the back of the couch and legs spread in front of him. regulus and barty ease back into their conversation before evanâs arrival. you watch his face closely. feeling your gaze, evan tilts his head and offers another small smile that reaches his eyes, looking a little more relieved now. you return his smile with a wink and run your hand through the hair at the nape of his neck, his eyes couldn't help but close at the feeling.
as evan relaxed into the couch, he eased into the animated conversation. His arm slid from the back of the couch to around your shoulder. The comfort of your presence and the brush of bartyâs arm against his fingertips gave him the solace he had being craving for the whole day. he sighed once again, shoulders drooping.
your eyes start to ache and grow heavy as it gets later, it takes all your effort to remain upright and attentive as the three boys converse spiritedly. you quiet down, and opt to listen to them talk in front of the crackling fire. but your head seems to grow more and more heavy as the late night turns to early morning. your head drops to rest on bartyâs shoulder. noticing this, evan pulls your legs over his lap, guiding you into a lying position where you rested your head onto bartyâs bouncing leg that stills almost immediately.
thatâs how the rest of your night passed, your head in bartyâs lap and evan gently caressing your ankles as the three of them talk and you offer a remark or a laugh at their bickering. eventually the conversation drowns out and your eyes begin to drift closed, and the only thing you can hear is the muffled conversation and the roaring fire. the only thing you can feel is the scratch and tug of barty's fingers at the hair near the nape of your neck, and the worshipping, barely-there drag of evan's palms against your ankles.
across from you, regulus watches evan pause the delicate attention on your ankles to pull the blanket draped over the back of the couch over your unmoving figure, and barty pulls the blanket to cover your shoulders that shiver underneath your thin pyjamas. the moment lasted only seconds, before his sisterâs lovers return their gaze to him to quietly continue their playful banter in the glow of the fire.

could you write about the mauraders when they go to the shrieking shack for the full moon and thereâs another werewolf? Idk something like that
ooooo, this gave me a really fun idea, hope you enjoy đ
The Deer, The Dog, And The Two Wolves
summary: remus meets another wolf
word count: 2.3k
âI mean, did you see her? Talk about fit!â Sirius laughed, walking through the portrait into their common room. He was talking about the new girl, the girl who had started halfway through the semester.
Poor girl was paraded in front of the whole school for her sorting. She was obviously embarrassed and uncomfortable to be the center of the whole schoolâs attention.
âToo bad she was sorted into Slytherin,â Sirius said as he threw himself across a sofa in the middle of the common room, âI would have liked to get to know her.â This made Lily and Mary scoff from the opposite couch in front of the fireplace.
âWhyâs she starting in the middle of the semester?â James asked.
âMaybe she just moved here.â Lily supplied.
âLucky her,â James said, âshe just missed midterm exams.â Everyone chuckled at that.
While everyone was conversing and laughing, Remus had dread looming over him. His muscles began to ache and he could feel the effects of the approaching full moon. The moon would be tomorrow night, but Remus had been feeling it all week. After a while of chatting, all he wanted to do was crawl into bed.Â
âI am quite tired,â Remus said, standing and motioning for the boys to follow. âIâll see you guys tomorrow?â
âYeah! Just meet us in hogsmeade.â Mary says.
Remus nods, the other boys say their goodnights and they all make their way up to their room. As soon as the door was shut behind them, Remus was falling into bed.
âWhat is the plan for tomorrow?â James asked, they usually had no trouble sneaking out and waiting in the shrieking shack for Remus, but this time, the girls insisted the boys come with them to hogsmeade for the day. Only Lily knew about Remus, so sneaking away was going to be harder than normal.
âI was thinking I could cut away from the group with Remus and we could head to the shack while you help Lily distract the others.â Sirius said, having planned that out fairly quickly. âThat sound alright?â he asked Remus.
Remus was too tired, too weary to answer vocally so he just nodded. The boys looked at him with pity, they knew how he was feeling, so they just opted to let him sleep.
⌠. ăâş ă . ⌠. ăâş ă . âŚ
The day spent in Hogsmeade was lovely, despite the pain and tenseness that Remus felt, he still enjoyed himself.
They made their way from shop to shop, buying candies from Honeydukes and gadgets from Zonkos. The girls begged to stop by Gladrags and the boys reluctantly agreed.
âFine,â James said, rolling his eyes, âbut only because I need a new tie.â
The group piled into the shop, the girls immediately rushing towards the new dresses and coats, Remus and Sirius turned to browse the rings and necklaces.Â
Remus felt⌠odd. He felt the hairs on his neck stand and a chill run down his spine, immediately set on edge. He had never felt this before, a new experience for him. He put himself on high alert, scanning the shop, but seeing or sensing nothing out of the ordinary, just that unfamiliar tingle.
âDear Merlin,â Sirius muttered from beside him. Remus followed his gaze across the shop to see Regulus. It seemed like the brothers noticed each other at the same time, because Regulus turned to his group of friends, and they swiftly exited.
âStill in a spat?â Remus asked Sirius.
Sirius huffed and replied âI donât wanna talk about it.â
Remus left it alone, seeing as the day was going very well, he didnât want to ruin it in any way.Â
James got his tie and the girls all bought different clothes and were ready to continue on. It was getting later in the day, the sun would set soon, so Remus wanted to finish the trip.
âButterbeer, anyone?â he asked and the whole group perked up and started down the street towards The Three Broomsticks.
Remus opened the door for the group, allowing everyone in, before stepping in himself. Once inside, that grating feeling was back. He looked around again, but was met with the same outcome, there was nothing awry. Confused, he just figured the moon was messing with his senses.
The group found a table towards the back of the pub and they all squeezed in. Remus found himself sandwiched between Marlene and James. The whole bunch was lively as ever, laughing and joking, talking about everything and nothing at all.
The witch who ran the pub asked the table for their orders and James ordered butterbeers for the whole table. So typical of James, to order and pay for everyone, spend his fortune on his friends and a good time.Â
Mary gasped from across the table, making everyone turn their attention to her. âDon't look now,â she said, âbut that new girl is sitting with the Slytherins.âÂ
The whole table snapped their necks toward where Mary was looking.
âI said donât look!â she squealed.
She was right, the new girl was sitting next to Dorcas and across from Regulus, looking like she was in a deep conversation with them. But, almost like she felt their eyes on her, she looked over to them. The whole group tried to turn and make it look like they werenât just staring at her(it was so obvious), but she caught Remusâs eye before he could look away.
It was like she looked directly into his soul, and there was that feeling again. Remus could have sworn she sat up straighter, taken by surprise for some reason. She narrowed her eyes at him, looked him up and down, then returned to her conversation.
OddâŚÂ
Their butterbeers arrived and Remus put the interaction aside, deciding to just enjoy the rest of the time he had with his friends. Once the group finished, Sirius casually yawned and turned to Remus. âFancy a smoke?â he asked. Remus nodded and exited the pub with Sirius.
They began their journey to the shrieking shack, Remus feeling the nip in the air, but also that feeling. He took a cigarette out of his jacket pocket, handed one to Sirius, then lit them both. Perhaps a smoke would ease the odd sensation. Walking in comfortable silence, taking drags of their cigarettes, the boys eventually ended up at the shack.
Remus dropped the butt of his cigarette and snuffed it out with his shoe, Sirius taking one last drag, then doing the same.
âNow,â Sirius started, âJames will meet up with us but itâs business as usual right?â
Remus nodded. âYeah, just try to stay in the forest like normal.â
âGotcha,â Sirius replied. âGotta lock you in now, Moons.â
Remus opened the door to the shack and stepped inside. He pulled the door closed and heard Sirius mutter the spell to magically seal him in until he transformed, then one of them would open the door and they would spend the whole night racing and playing in the woods in their animal forms.
Remus didnât enjoy a lot of his lycanthropy, but being able to run in an animalistic way with his best mates, that was one thing he did enjoy.
Remus made his way upstairs to the old, beaten up bedroom, and layed on the bed. He began waiting for the transformation.Â
⌠. ăâş ă . ⌠. ăâş ă . âŚ
Something was off, Sirius could tell. He and James, who had broken away from the group finally, were sitting at the edge of the forest.
They heard Remus transforming, which was never easy, but this time it seemed that he was having a particularly rough time. James winced from beside Sirius and shook his head. Once they were certain he was fully changed, James magically unlocked the door.
They both transformed into their animagus form, but Remus didnât come out. Sirius and James looked at each other and Sirius went inside to check on Remus, coax him out of the shack.
Sirius padded upstairs, expecting to see the wolf destroying something or clawing at the furniture, but he was met with a completely different scene entirely. The wolf was pacing around the room in a circle, sniffing the air and whining. When it saw the black dog that had entered, it perked up, but still looked around, as if looking for someone else.
The dog raced downstairs, goading the wolf to chase it. The wolf gave in easily and followed the dog down the stairs and out of the house where they were met with the large stag. The wolf tackled the deer, rolling and play-fighting until the wolfâs ears perked up. It snapped itâs head to the forest and bolted.
The dog and the deer had no chance to wrangle it before it slipped through the tree line and into the dark forest beyond. The dog and the deer looked at each other and then dashed after the wolf.
Sirius didn't understand what had gotten into the wolf, but raced as fast as he could to catch up.
That is when the howl came from deep in the forest. Everything stopped, the whole forest seeming to be silenced. Then the answering howl sounded.
The deer and the dog followed the sound to an opening in the forest, a small field with a large oak in the center. They expected to find Moony there, chasing something, but they were not expecting to see two wolves circling each other.
They hung back at the tree line, watching but ready to protect Remus if anything were to happen.
The other wolf was smaller, a female, but just as dangerous, still a werewolf.
The two wolves continued circling each other, tense. The smaller wolf noticed the dog and the stag at the forestâs edge, and growled, hackles raising. Moony stepped between her and his friends, protecting them, and growled deep back at her. The other wolf turned her attention to him now, focusing all her anger at him.
Moony wasnât backing down, determined to protect the dog and the stag behind him. He clawed at her, catching her right under the eye. She wasted no time in returning the favor, and swiped right back at him, getting him good.
Moony, shocked, stepped back and sat down, like a dog asking for a treat. The other wolf blinked, then mirrored his actions. Moony pounced and ran off, the other wolf following, chasing.
They were playing.Â
The dog and the deer looked at each other, then back to the two wolves, then joined in.
It was slightly harder, keeping track of two wolves rather than just the one, but at least they could rough-house with each other and not be too afraid to hurt the other, like Remus often was with Sirius or James.
The two wolves raced each other and swam in the lake, the whole group having fun, until Sirius noticed the morning light. Dawn would break soon and Remus would transform back, they needed to get him back to the shack. Moony, however, was being more difficult than normal.Â
The moment Sirius and James tried to corral him and chase him back to the shack, Moony refused. He kept wandering over to the other wolf, trying to continue to play. So James and Sirius decided that both the wolves had to be wrangled into the shack, if that was the only way to get Remus back in.
That task was incredibly difficult, Moony bouncing all over the place and the other wolf threatening to snap at the boys if they got too close. They eventually managed to lock both the wolves in the shack with minimal damage.
⌠. ăâş ă . ⌠. ăâş ă . âŚ
Remus woke on the floor of the bedroom feeling more tired than he had ever been after a full moon. He felt like he could sleep for ages. His aching body needed all the rest it could get.
Small moments from the night came back to him and suddenlyâŚ
He snapped his head toward the bed to see a sleeping figure curled up in the old and torn blankets. That feeling tingled the back of his neck again.Â
The figure sat straight up, feeling the same feeling. Remus knew that face, the new girl. She made direct eye contact with him, then quickly scanned the room, unsure of where she was.
He could see she was scared, so he calmly said âItâs ok, youâre ok.â
She looked at him unsure. âW-where are we?â she asked, voice a little raw.
âThis is called the shrieking shack, it's where I come⌠to transform.â Remus answered, still trying to calm her and get her to trust him.
âYouâre the wolf I was with last night?â she asked, more like putting the pieces together.
Remus nodded. âMy nameâs Remus.â He smiled.
âY/Nâ she answered.
âNice to meet you Y/N.â He said, noticing how she seemed to start relaxing.
âAnd⌠that dog and the deer?â she asked.
Remus chuckled, not knowing exactly how to answer that. âTheyâre harmless.â
She nodded and they sat in silence for a minute before she spoke again. âI didnât know there were others⌠like me.â she said.
Remus didnât know how to talk about this with anyone, he had never met another werewolf. All he could seem to do was nod.
âH-how long have you been⌠you knowâŚâ she asked timidly.
Remus smiled sadly. ââI was bitten when I was really young, about three.â He answered.
Her eyes widened and she gasped. âThree!?â she looked in disbelief. âI am so sorry, youâve had to deal with this for a long timeâŚâshe trailed off. âI was bitten a couple years ago. That's why I transferred schools, the other one kicked me out, thought that I was a danger to the other students.â
âI am so sorry,â this time it was Remusâs turn to feel bad.
She smiled sadly. âItâs ok, besides, now I know someone else like me.â

Dealing With the Problem = Breaking the Problemâs Nose
pairing: remus lupin x slytherin!reader
summary: You punched another student because he was annoying. Not because you were defending Remus Lupin. Totally not.
genre: crushing, fluff?, kind of enemies to lovers but not really (reader hates Remus but Remus likes reader), sunshine x grumpy trope?
wc: 2.1k
content: reader can throw a punch, gn!reader, thereâs a fight, a lot of cursing, remus gets insulted, remus is a simp fr, reader is very... salty? idk how to describe them.
note: woah, two posts in one day? so rare. I wrote this without any particular idea in mind, but I want to show my appreciation for Remus, because we love Remus <3
oneshot under the cut :: not proofread
Remus Lupin was interesting.
He was not like his other friends; he was quiet, more reserved than them. The Marauders were the heartthrobs of Hogwarts, and Remus Lupin had his own group of âfansâ that found his certain allure appealing.
You hated him.
The times when you would had the unfortunate requirement to talk to him, he was infuriating. He would send that damned smirk of his your way even when you were obviously about to blow a fuse. He would use those annoyingly smooth pickup lines on you when you were literally insulting him. He compliments you and uses pet names on you that makes other people do a double take on you from how he treated you like you two were dating.
He may have been the quieter one among his friends (besides Peter of course), but he could act as embarrassingly as Potter and Black do.
You were going to kill him someday. If he doesnât kill you first with his smooth words and soft gaze.
As much as you hate him, your body betrays you. All the time.
Your cheeks flush when he compliments you. Your knees go weak when he calls you dove. Your brain lags when he uses one of his pickup lines that you never seem to predict.
The reactions were out of your control. I mean, if anyone else treated you the way Lupin treated you, youâd probably act the same.
Right?
Wrong, because you hate everyone besides your friends in Slytherin, no matter how kind they act towards you. Lupin just happened to take a page out of your houseâs mascot and slither through your walls to become an exception.
Wrong, because you never would have punched someone purely out of instinct after a particularly horrible insult.
You were disappointed in yourself. You were doing well in restraining your anger during the past few years in Hogwarts, so why did you have to snap now out of all times?
No matter how annoyed you were at yourself, it couldnât overpower the satisfaction you got from finally shutting Avery up.
So, how did it happen?
Letâs rewind.
âââââ
You were taking a stroll in the grass with Barty, who was always willing to accompany you on your spontaneous walks. The two of you were just talking about people you particularly hated in Hogwarts until you came across the two that placed particularly high on both your lists: Avery and Snape.
Being in the same house as the two vermin didnât make you or Barty dislike them any less, especially you. You were one of the precious few halfbloods in Slytherin, and they never failed to insult you about it.
You didnât care about blood statuses, though. But that didnât matter do them.
They targeted you constantly, picking on you, tripping you in the hallway, spilling drinks on your back, and other petty things.
You always bit back with your words. You knew that if you tried to deal with it physically, you might be expelled from the school for violence.
Thank goodness Pandora, Barty, and Regulus ere always there to restrain you. Especially Barty. He was your closest friend, and although he wanted to beat them up himself, he didnât want you getting in trouble.
Today seemed to be an exception.
âOh, speaking of,â you cut Barty off, your gaze souring as you caught sight of the two you were just ranting about.
Barty followed your gaze, his lip curling in disgust. They were crowded over someone, but the tree beside them obscured your view of the victim. They seemed to be enjoying themselves, laughing wickedly and pushing the person.
âAre we going?â Barty knew you well. He knew you were going to do something about it. He just hoped that you were going to use your words instead of your fists, because he hasn't finished his strategy on how to hide bodies in school just yet.
âUnfortunately,â you sighed, picking up your pace, Barty a few feet behind you to give you space. You may hate everyone in school, but not enough to leave them in the clutches of people like Snape and Avery.
âWhat kind of fucked up entertainment did you two idiots decide to do today?â You called, making the two turn your way.
âAh, just the person we were talking about,â Avery sneered. âWhat do you want now? You here to check up on your boyfriend?â
You furrowed your brows in confusion. You stepped to the side a little and groaned internally when you saw who Snape and Averyâs target was today: Remus Lupin.
His face was contorted in anger, his clenched fists peeking out from his slightly oversized sweater. Whatever Snape and Avery were teasing him about must have really struck a nerve in him.
âLeave them out of this,â he warned.
âWhatâre you going to do about it, huh?â Snape taunted him, approaching you. âCâmon loverboy. Not so strong now that your bodyguards arenât here, ainât that right?â
âWhy donât you boys take a break from being dickheads, yeah?â You said, testing out the chance of a diplomatic ending. âGo find some other place to dump your bullshit on, preferably the greenhouses. They could use the fertilizer.â
Avery made a beeline towards you, partially shoving Snape out of his way to grab your collar and pull you toward him. He was practically steaming.
Diplomacy was out the window, I suppose.
Barty a step towards you, as did Remus, but Snape stopped the lanky boy and you put your hand up to make Barty pause. You could handle yourself.
âYou wanna say that again, bitch?â Avery seethed.
You had to restrain yourself from puking in his face after you felt drops of his saliva hit your cheeks, but you stood your ground. âI said youâre full of shit. Did some of it get in your ears or something?â
Avery looked like he wanted to hit you, but instead he leaned in your ear. You cringed at the lack of distance, but it quickly morphed into something else as he whispered, âYou wouldnât be barking as much if you let your ugly ass boytoy do the talking for you. Heâs the one better with words, eh? Bet he uses them so you would want to fuck him. Tell me, is his dick as deformed as his face is?â
Avery never got his response as you reeled your fist back and let it fly, making direct contact with his nose with a satisfying crack.
âââââ
âI donât believe it,â Madame Pomfrey tsked in disappointment, dabbing a paste on the bruise around your eye. You had to suppress a wince, since the rest of your body was too sore. âYou should know better than to start a brawl in the courtyard.â
âThey had it coming,â you muttered, making the nurse dab with a little more force than necessary. âOuch.â
"You could have sustained worse injuries than this, stupid child!" She scolded, like a mother reprimanding a disobedient child. And like a disappointed child, you stayed silent and hung your head in slight guilt.
Only slight guilt because you still firmly believed that the two idiots had it coming to them.
You heard a moan of pain, and you could have sworn that you saw Madame Pomfrey roll her eyes. "You don't have that much severe injuries, so I'll check up on you in a while after I treat Mr. Snape and Mr. Avery."
You nodded. Before leaving, the nurse turned to Remus Lupin, who was icing a bruise on his cheek on the cot beside yours. "Watch over them, and after a few minutes, apply ice to their bruises," she instructed, and the Gryffindor nodded.
"Treasure, how're you doing?" Barty called from his cot across from you. He had sprained his ankle from kicking Snape hard in the nuts, and although he winced in pain occasionally when he moved, his grin told you that he didn't regret what he did.
"I'm okay B," you replied, grimacing slightly as one of the pulled muscles on your back acted up.
Remus noticed your flinch, and approached you worriedly. He was better off than you and Barty, the bruise on his face the only thing that he obtained from the fight. "Are you sure?" He asked, concerned. You didn't like how soft his eyes were as he gazed at you, or how your chest squeezed slightly at his worry.
"I'm fine, Lupin," you quipped, although your voice lacked its usual venom.
Remus hummed, unconvinced. He turned to the bedside and grabbed the ice that Madame Pomfrey left for you and held it out for you to grab.
You scoffed. "I said I'm fine. No need to baby me."
Remus rolled his eyes slightly. "And I don't believe you. Besides, the nurse said to ice your bruise after a few minutes. A few minutes has already passed, and frankly, she can do more damage to me than you can in this state."
You grumbled, turning your head. Your pride made you stubborn, as it did to many, but thank goodness Remus Lupin has had training in dealing with prideful companions.
He closed in on you, holding your face by the chin and tilting it towards him. You tried to fight back, but his grip was firm, so you simply sighed and resigned your fate. You could only hope that the observant boy didn't notice the warmth on your cheeks.
He gently placed the ice on your eye.
"Sorry," He murmured when you hissed at the sudden cold.
You purposefully averted your gaze from him, eyes fixated on the wheels of another cot.
That didn't stop you from spotting Remus's fixated stare on you from your periphery.
"Stop looking at me like that, Lupin," You spat, still refusing to make direct eye contact with him. "What do you want?"
"Why did you punch Avery?" He asked, finally making your eyes snap up to him. "He said something that provoked you. What did he say?"
You scoffed. "The usual bullshit that comes out of his mouth."
"I heard that."
"Fuck off," you called to the curtained cot where Avery currently resided. Madame Pomfrey hushed you disapprovingly form behind the curtains.
"I don't think that's true," Remus said, eyes narrowed as he studied you like a problem he couldn't solve, an enigma he wanted to understand.
You looked at him in silence for a moment, before heaving a sigh and looking away again. "He insulted you," you mumbled, words faint and hard to decipher, but Remus got the general meaning.
Well, judging from his grin, he got the general meaning.
"What did you say?" He asked. You looked at him, offended. Remus Lupin was teasing you.
"Clean your ears next time, Lupin," you shot a glare at him, but it didn't have as much heat behind it as you would have wanted.
"Nope, don't try to escape from this," he chuckled, using his hand on your chin to make your visible eye make contact with his brown ones again. "What did you say, dove?"
You groaned. You absolutely loved hated the effect this boy had on you.
"He insulted you, Lupin," You snapped, cheeks blazing at this point. "Happy?"
Remus's playful expression melted into one of disbelief. "You punched him because... he insulted me?"
"Salazar, you really are deaf," you rolled your eyes. "That's what I said, isn't it?"
Remus seemed to still not be able to wrap his head around the idea. You, the person he's been pining over the past few months, defended him. And got hurt because of it.
"I'm sorry," he said, his voice sincere.
Your brows furrowed in confusion. "What are you apologizing for? I started that fight with my own free will, and they deserved every cut and bruise they received."
"Amen," Barty replied. He was obviously eavesdropping on your conversation, and you couldn't say that you were surprised.
"But still." His lips tilted downwards along with his gaze. Salazar give me strength, he's pouting. "You were dragged into it when they were picking on me. I could have â"
"Yes, there are many things that you could have done, but you can't reverse time to do them now, Lupin," You said severely. "I don't need you apologizing for things I don't regret doing."
Remus looked up at you hopefully. "You don't regret defending me?"
You blinked, realizing the implications your words gave off. You played it off with a huff. "Whatever."
"You didn't deny it," Remus teased, a small smile on his face. He still felt guilty that you were hurt because you were defending him, but you didn't regret it. That had to count for something.
"Whatever, Lupin."
"Call me Remus."
"No."
"Please."
"Absolutely not."
"Dove?"
"... Fine, Remus."
"Heh, I knew you liked me."
"What â I never said I did!"
"But you never said you didn't."
"I â"
A retching noise was heard. "Ugh, your lovey-doveyness is making me sick."
"Shut up, Barty!"

You Too, Silly
Pairing: Bartylus x Reader (Starkiller x Reader)
Summary: When your two best friends fall in love and make it official, you try to be happy for them despite your heartbreak. When they keep flirting with you, though, things grow complicated.

Warnings: not proofread, fem!reader, use of y/n, poly relationship obvi, miscommunication trope, pining & yearning, hurt/comfort, (some) angst with a (very) happy ending, your pov and you think your love is unrequited, it is not!, all three of you are stupid but you're in love so it's fine, kissing while crying, some slight suggestiveness but overall safe for minors, light drinking at a slytherin party
Note: this is my hard launch of romanian!barty mwah â if you don't like it sorry not sorry, this is my barty now!
Being in love with your two best friends hurts.
Being in love with your two best friends who are in a committed relationship with each other hurts perhaps even more.
Being in love with your two best friends who are in a committed relationship with each other, yet for some reason seem hellbent on jokingly flirting with you at any given moment could be considered a form of torture.
And for the past few weeks, Barty Crouch Junior and Regulus Black have been putting you through nothing short of torture.
As any relationship either boy has sustained throughout their lives, your friendship with them was complicated. When you and your dorm mate Dorcas first began integrating yourselves in the friend group that consisted of Barty, Regulus and the elusive Rosier twins, you had both said you might come to regret it. You remember clearly sitting up one night and talking about it â you both thought it would end in flames, yet somehow you couldnât help but poke the bear. You would prefer to fly under the radar, avoid any more pain than you had already had to grapple with, but you also craved a sense of belonging and figured it was worth the risk.
And oh, were you rewarded.Â
No friend had treasured you the way Barty does. The second he decided he âliked your vibeâ as he put it when he cut you off mid-sentence during your first proper hang-out, you had a loyal guard dog who would kill for you and then demand cuddles as payment. Almost overnight, wherever you went, Barty wouldnât be far behind, no questions asked. He was fierce in his love, uninhibited and wild. It made you feel important in a way that sizzled over your skin.
In Regulus, you found a quiet understanding no one else had been able to give you before. He was both a mirror held up to your face and a cushioned bench to share during your turmoils. It seemed like he could read your every thought, every experience, like the books you would bond over. Silences shared with Regulus often gave you more than long conversations with others ever could. While he didnât declare your friendship in the same way Barty did, he still had this simple way of making you feel seen and known.
They quickly cemented themselves at the root of your heart. They were your best friends, and you theirs. Your boys; with their respective green and white strands in their curly hair, who were misunderstood in each their way yet were never a mystery to you.
Perhaps naively, you had always thought there was a certain tension there, that something ran deeper below the surface. Barty was physically affectionate with all his friends, but the way he reached out for you felt differently charged. The only other person he held as long as he did you, was Regulus. It felt right. Likewise, you had yet to be in a room with Regulus without feeling his eyes on you, and you often absentmindedly compared the feeling to when Barty hugs you â they were equivalents, those gazes were the former boyâs version of affection. When you played spin the bottle during an after-party in the boysâ dorm one night, Bartyâs grin had widened brilliantly when it landed on you and Regulus. You had sworn you had seen a hunger in his eyes when he watched you share the brief kiss, and you could still hear the soft sigh Regulus breathed against your lips. Again, it all felt so right.Â
It went unspoken, but you thought that was because it did not need to â not because it was not there.
You knew, of course, that you had been stupidly delusional when Barty hauled Regulus with him into the Great Hall a month ago, hands intertwined, and announced with his signature Cheshire cat smile that he âfinally got the boyâ. You saw them making out â rather publicly â at the quidditch victory party the night before, but at the time it had only made you smile. It was odd, how you hadnât realised that kiss was proof that all this tension really was just the two of them. Not before the words left Bartyâs mouth did it hit you that this was a part of them you were not involved in. That felt decidedly wrong, but you shoved it down and joined in on the wolf whistling and congratulations, pushing your plate away in the chaos, unable to take another bite.
Since then, you have just tried to be happy for them. Or at least seem it.
Tried to smile through it all as Barty made sure their honeymoon phase was as public as humanly possible, much to Regulusâ ongoing chagrin. Tried to laugh at the quips your friends made, the âget a room you twoâs and the âlovebirdsâs, though you were never able to dish them out yourself, instead just humming along in agreement whenever Dorcas or Evan did. Tried to stiffen your mask to the point where it could not crack underneath the pressure of emotion, perfectly polished as you originally intended for it to be. All those years ago, before they had ensured you would not need it â you gave yourself a silent thank you for your previous doomsday caution.Â
You even tried not to avoid Barty and Regulus, to be normal. Why should they be punished by losing one of their best friends because they had the audacity not to fall in love with her too? While you thought yourself generally successful in not showing disdain for their new relationship, this was the one aspect you struggled the most with. Your instinct was to run away and it physically pained you not to. In the few weeks they had been together, you had not been able to stomach being alone with just the two of them and confront their relationship in such close proximity â but you knew you could not avoid them altogether. Instead, you tried to always attach yourself at Dorcasâ hip and always invite the rest of your friends if Barty and Regulus wanted to do something with you. They ask you to study out by the Black Lake? Fantastic, you, Dorcas and Pandora have an Astronomy project you need to work on anyway. They want to visit that one store in Hogsmeade with you? How convenient that Evan was discussing how he needed something from there earlier, and if he goes, then Pandora goes and if she goes Dorcas canât be the only one left behind, can she?
To offset any accusation that you were not spending time with them alone, you still spent time with them one on one when you knew the other would be busy â just seeing Regulus or Barty was not too bad, it was seeing them as a couple, knowing it did not include you, that you could not withstand. If you were alone with one, you could just pretend nothing changed.Â
You made sure you focused on these ârulesâ in your mind, the carefully constructed plan on how to make it through the year. Somehow you did not have it in you to wish they would break up and put you out of your misery â you wanted them, not just one â so instead you set your sights on graduation day. What you would do afterwards, you did not yet know. Disappear off the face of the earth? Become an Unspeakable as an excuse not to ever see them again? Endless possibilities. You zeroed your focus on your coursework and these measures you must take to protect your heart and sanity â if you filled your mind like this, maybe you could distract yourself from the pain that leaked through your body.
Barty remaining his flirtatious self whenever he was around you and Regulusâ simmering dedication to you seemingly only building, was decidedly not helping your case.
Which is how you ended up in this admittedly awkward cat and goose chase.
âThere you are!â Not only did you hear Bartyâs screech the moment he laid his eyes on you â everyone else in the library did as well, going by the shushes and ugly glares you both received that Barty paid zero mind to. âDragÄ, I have been going crazy without you, where have you been?â
He plopped down on the bench beside you instead of any of the readily available chairs around the table, thigh flush against yours. âGood morning, B,â you whispered, hoping to lower his volume with yours.
The ever-growing grin on his face told you he likely understood your attempt. His hair was still damp from his morning shower and hanging slightly in front of his eyes, but you could see the sparkle there you thought was reserved for you. âGood morning,â he stage-whispered dramatically, to show his abiding of library law. Then, he pressed a smacking kiss to your cheek before pulling up his books. âTell me, why are we studying on a weekend morning?â
This was the kind of activity that caused your delusion. It was early on a Sunday, arguably too early, and you had snuck out of your dorm to the library before anyone else woke so you would not be roped into any heartbreaking hangout. Yet, upon your absence, Barty went looking for you before doing his hair or anything â and when he found you studying, as he likely assumed you would be, he just joined you. There was no reason for him to.
You had been staring at him a tad bit too incredulously for a tad bit too long, so he gave you a cheeky sideway glance while he readied his books. âToo early for you too, baby?â
You shook your head, but couldnât stop the laugh escaping you. âMaybe Iâm just shocked at seeing you voluntarily in the library. I usually have to drag you here.â
âYeah, because usually I have you with me somewhere more fun when you try to go to the library,â he explained to you matter-of-factly. âNow that you are here from the get-go, I accept my fate that this is where weâll be. For now.â
âLucky me.â You poked him lightly in the side to emphasise your sarcasm before you tried to return to your books, though your attention was thoroughly divided.
âI reckon I am the lucky one who gets to spend time with the fittest babe in the castle.â
You snorted at the same time as your heart shattered further â an odd reaction none other than Barty could draw from you. Those comments are not only how you got in this whole emotional mess to begin with, but felt like genuine ice shards spearing through your flesh. You were guilt-ridden as you revelled in them, and begged the gods he would stop.
âAnd I reckon,â you teasingly copied, hoping to sound level-headed and not agonised, âthat Regulus would not appreciate having that title taken away from him.â
âRegulus is a fit babe,â Barty said dreamily, unaffected by your correction. âBut he would agree that the title belongs to you, DragÄ.â
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Barty was incredibly particular in how he showed affection, and flirting with you explicitly was not at all out of character for him. You just, perhaps bitterly, hoped that maybe he would stop, if he was to be in a monogamous relationship with one of his two best friends.
âWhatâll you be working on?â you asked, hoping to redirect the conversation.Â
Likely entirely unaware of your attempt, Barty allowed you, delving into a longer rant about what extra assignment Professor Flitwick had assigned him because he âsaw potential in you, young manâ, which he of course found to be utter âtrollpissâ. It was familiar, working side by side while also not studying at all, gossiping like the two best friends you are. It should be lovely, and you kicked yourself for being hung up on it just being friendly, when friendliness in itself is a gift you should be grateful for.
While you tried to allow yourself to enjoy Bartyâs company and not be guilty for how hard you noticed where his body touched yours, you kept your eye on the clock. Regulus had prefect rounds on Sunday mornings, but as soon as he finished them, he would seek the two of you out.Â
You had to get away from Barty before then.
âWhile this was lovely,â you said with a forced airy tone, âI have to get going now, B.â
âCool, whereâre we goinâ?â
Your pageant winner smile wavered slightly as he immediately began to pack up his belongings, considering it a given that he would join you in your endeavours. âI donât think so. Iâm heading to meet with the Hufflepuff third years I tutor, and I believe it would be considered a crime to introduce them to you when theyâve just stopped being scared of me.â
Not technically a lie. You picked up a massive amount of extracurriculars after Regulus and Barty became official, and tutoring Hufflepuffs was part of it. Though you had no scheduled study session with them today, you knew at least two of them were still too much of a pushover to say no to you if you headed over there. Innocent casualties in your escapades.Â
Barty immediately pouted. âNo fun,â he whined, sitting back down before you. He grabbed your hips and pulled you flush to him so he could rest his forehead on your stomach in defeat. âWhy do you have to be such a swot? I miss you.â
You hoped he couldnât hear your heart flutter at the sentiment. You brought a shaky, selfish hand up to card lightly through his hair, separating the green from the black. âSorry, B. Duty calls and you know how much I love to be a hero.â
âNo hero would leave such a perfect victim like me destitute and alone.â He moved his chin to rest against your flesh so he could look up at you in faux misery.
âGood thing you have Regulus, then.â You feared your voice was more pointed than you wanted it to be. It did not go with the pleasant mask you tried to wear, but the mask never fit quite right around Barty.
Something odd flashed across his eyes at your words and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Whether he wanted to say something that would explain it, you would not find out, because you gave his hair one last ruffle before patting his cheek lightly and pulling away.
âIâll see you for dinner, alright B? Donât worry about me.â You turned around and walked away without waiting for a response.
It still came behind you, sounding too much like the ache in your own chest. âCounting down the minutes!â
ââââ ââ
â ââââ
You survived the rest of the Sunday with little to no incident; as in, you avoided being alone with Regulus and Barty, ensuring the friend group ate together and sat together in the common room afterwards. When Pandora retreated to head to bed, you immediately used the excuse to slither away too, lest you end up trapped with just the two of them by the fire.
Dorcas opened the door to your dorm just a few minutes after you had settled down on your bed to reread your comfort novel. You looked up with a warm, small smile to greet her, but it slipped away as you saw her eyeing you carefully. Neither of you said anything before she was sat on her own bed opposite you, studying you. There was this crackling ferocity to Dorcasâ silences that would make even the strongest man cave â and you were not feeling particularly strong lately.
âSpit it out.â It was all she said.
You sighed and put your book aside, straightening up in your previously comfortable position. âWhat is it, Cas?â
She gave you a stern but not unkind look. âYouâre different. Why?â
âDifferent how?â You stalled.
She indulged you. âYouâre not yourself, babe. Your smile doesnât reach your eyes and you act like youâre programmed and not like youâre living. I want to know whatâs wrong. I want to help.â
The staggering, almost fragmented way she spoke was in part to spoon-feed you her concern so that you might actually answer her truthfully and in part how Dorcas was with emotions. She had not been raised to speak of them, but she was loyal and smart, so she knew when it was needed, even if you wished she wouldnât.
You looked at her with heavy eyes for a moment before sighing once more and bringing your hands up to roughly rub at your face. âThere is no way for you to help right now, Iâm sorry. Except maybe be my shield.â The last part was added as a joke, but it fell flat.
âShield you from what?â Protectiveness flared in her tone and you knew you had to soothe it with the truth.
âNot what,â you said softly. âWho.â You pleaded with your eyes for her to understand.
It took but a few seconds before her face scrunched up in pity â and something that would almost looked like amusement, had you thought her cruel enough to laugh at you. âBarty and Regulus.âÂ
It was a statement, not a question, yet you nodded in affirmation, shutting your eyes in humiliation. âItâs bad, Dorcas. Itâs so bad.â A tired heave for breath. âBut I will get through it. I just need a little bit of distance without any drama around it and to get my shit together.â
Dorcas looked like she was weighing up her next words carefully. âIf I didnât know you as well as I do, I would have told you to talk with them. Alas, I know you wonât. But I hope you somehow end up having to.â
Cryptic and confusing; just how you knew her to be.Â
When she realised you would not answer her first sentiments, it was her turn to sigh and give you a rueful smile. âI assume this is why I suddenly have been roped into so much lately? Marlene misses me.â
You laugh at her teasing tone, happy for her to not dig too much into your feelings. âSorry about that, babe. Just for a little while longer, yeah?â
âYeah,â she repeated with a tilted head. âIf itâs any help, I get it.â
âConsidering you got the girl, I donât think you do.â There was no malice in your words, just a bit of longing. It was bittersweet to indirectly admit your loss.
âThatâs not what I meant.â She waited to continue before you met her eyes once more. âI canât say I understand your heartbreak exactly, but I share your confusion. I also thought you would be part of it.â
The look you gave her must have been nothing short of gobsmacked, yet she had the kindness to not laugh at you. It was unclear whether you were most surprised by her knowing you were in love with both of them, or her having shared the same assumptions as you once. Both floored you.
âIââ you tried, but your voice failed you. All you were able to do was whisper a small, âThank you.â
This time, there was nothing but pity in her eyes. âIâm sorry babe. Iâll shield you to the best of my ability.â
You shared small, knowing smiles and you decided to end the conversation there, lest it get teary. Reaching over, you carefully switched off your light and placed your book on your nightstand, abandoning any attempt at being comforted for the night. When you laid your head on your pillow, there were phantom indents on either side.
ââââ ââ
â ââââ
The one place you had no opportunity to shield yourself from or avoid either of them was during classes.
With your timetables for the year, you and Regulus ended up sharing more than half of your classes, while Barty was in at least a third of them. When you first saw the allocations, it felt like painfully little, and the thought of scraping by so many classes without them felt like a punishment you did not deserve. Now, you almost wished it was less.
Almost was the key word though â because Regulusâ presence by your side at your shared Herbology station was somehow melting the tension that had settled in your bones and making your chest heave all at the same time.
His elbow bumped lightly into yours. âYou alright?â
You looked up from the notes you were pretending to study for the depotting you two were currently attempting, giving him a brief smile. ââCourse. Ready for the next step?â
His gaze lingered on you for a second too long, flickering over your face carefully before nodding almost imperceivable. You shifted your focus towards the Venomous Tentacula on the bench before you, reaching out to carefully manoeuvre the prickly leaves away so Regulus could attend to the roots when his hand stopped yours.
âThese arenât tight enough.â His voice was but a whisper as he took off his gloves to tighten yours where the velcro was hazardously slapped on top of each other. With long, cold fingers he elegantly realigned the straps and made sure there was no gap between your skin and glove. âDonât want my best girl getting hurt, right?âÂ
Regulus looked up to meet your eyes, a small smile playing over his lips. With his striking grey eyes locked on yours, you feared your emotions were too clearly pasted across your face. His loose grip remained on your bare skin, thumbs brushing carefully above your gloves.
âRight,â was all you offered him curtly, pulling your hands back to yourself.Â
Together you navigated the plant meticulously from one pot to the other you had pre-prepared. Propagating, maintaining and harvesting from the plant was one of your major projects in Herbology for the term and you and Regulus had been dedicated to your so-called coparenting to begin with. Now, to have his body half pressed to yours as you covered the plantâs teeth and angled its venomous leaves away while he extracted and cleaned its roots, it was almost too much. You breathed in and instead of being overwhelmed by the smell of dirt, your nose was filled with Regulusâ shampoo and cologne. You were suddenly thankful your part of the job was rather stationary, as you feared your hands trembling.
Regulus took a laboured breath as he settled the plant properly within its new home, packing the potting mix carefully around the roots. âRight there, perfect,â he murmured, presumably to himself, yet you fought the shiver down your spine. You noticed him glancing at you in the corner of his eye with what can only be classified as a smirk growing on his lips. âAmazing work, amour.â That was unmistakably to you.
You lightly shook your head to clear your thoughts. âAre we done?â
âUnfortunately,â Regulus replied, dusting the remaining dirt off his gloves as he took a small step back from the plant â and closer to you. âGregory has been successfully assimilated to his new environment.â
You scoffed a laugh, to which his smile grew genuine. âYouâve got a flare for the dramatics, Black.â
âOnly comes with being close to one Bartiemus Junior, doesnât it?â
His eyes were crinkling from his smile and adoration, but you took the comment for what it was â a reminder. A warning. Albeit a confusing one, giving his amorous words just a few moments ago, but one you most certainly needed. âThat it does.â Your tone was drier than you intended, but you did good; the smile didnât slip.
Regulusâ did, and he tilted his head while regarding you. âI almost slipped up a few times there, though. Was a tad distracted.â There was an undeniable cheekiness dripping from his words.
âYeah?â was all you managed to say.
âYeah,â he breathed out, leaning against the desk. You had time to small talk, giving as you were finished long before anyone else. âPretty girls like you really shouldnât be allowed in here; itâs a safety hazard.â
âYou would know all about safety hazards,â you mumbled, fighting yourself from going red from the sentiment or seeing red from the audacity.Â
Regulusâ laugh seemed more guarded than usual.
âSpeaking of,â you said, trying to get the conversation to safer grounds, âwho do you think will definitely kill their plants at last today?â
If there was one thing you and Regulus did well, it was gossip, and you managed to derail him into chattering quietly with you instead of doing some weird dance of pushing the limits and then drawing them clearly. As you spoke, you took small, careful steps away from Regulus to put some physical distance between you, hoping he wouldnât notice.
If you had looked him in the eye even once more before your separation to go to your next periods, you would have seen that he did.
ââââ ââ
â ââââ
You would have thought the Quidditch game on Friday to have been a blessing.
The tension had been growing more and more between you and your best friends, and it seemed that the more you volleyed around their pretend flirting, the more fired up they got, in each their own way. It didnât seem sustainable anymore.Â
Even Dorcas had grown weary of you, though she tried to remain supportive while urging you strongly to speak with them about it.
âAnd say what exactly? What could I possibly say that would not make the situation ten times worse?â
Dorcas levelled you with a look that spoke volumes, but she seemed unwilling to verbalise any of it in response. Instead she just offered you a vague, âIt might go better than you could imagine.â
You must admit you had grown weary of her cryptic remarks as well.
A quidditch game gave you the perfect opportunity to have a small break from them guilt-free, seeing as they were all playing for Slytherin. In turn, you believed you gave Dorcas a break from working overtime to shield you and keep any awkward situation at bay.Â
With you in the stands, cheering for your little makeshift family who were all involved in the game somehow â Regulus as Captain and seeker, Barty and Evan as beaters, Dorcas as a chaser and Pandora as commentator â you thought you could finally breathe for a moment.Â
Any such hopes were shattered when Barty came chasing up beside you before you could ascend the wooden stairs to find your seat.
âDragÄ! Hold up!â
The pet name sent warmth up your spine, but the sigh that escaped you was not a happy one. You turned regretfully on your heel to take in Bartyâs form as he jogged up to you. His quidditch gear was tight, much more than it had any business being, seeing as he could easily make them larger with a quick spell if he wanted to.Â
You didnât ask what he wanted, but he didnât seem to mind, grin permanently plastered on his face in your presence.
âDo I not get a kiss for good luck?â He threw you a cheeky wink with his comment as he came to stand in front of you, breath slightly laboured.
âSure you can. Regulus is right over there.â You hoped your voice sounded a bit lighthearted even in your sternness of correcting his flirting. Even more, you hoped the heat in your cheeks had not turned into any noticeable redness.Â
A look at Bartyâs wicked smile told you it might have. âIâve already gotten plenty from Reggie. Now I just need my girl and Iâm golden.â
You knew he didnât mean it, at least not like that. You knew he meant a kiss on the cheek, and you knew he asked to make fun â not of you, but of the concept of good luck kisses and of your closeness as friends being read as anything else. He likely didnât even know that you had been among those reading it as something else, this was a joke the two of you were in on, as all best friends should be.
Still, you couldnât help but wince at the sting in your heart.
âI think youâll do just fine without it, B.â You pressed your lips together in the same way you would if you were fighting a smile and not a frown.
He tilted his head at you, a mix of black and green strands falling into his eyes. âHave I done something that would make you want me to fall to my death? Because that is what will happen without you as my good luck charm.â
You shook your head, taking miniscule steps towards the stairs; away from him. âIâll be a shining bright good luck charm in the stands. Youâll see me after, at the party.â
âI sure will,â he replied salaciously, but you caught the flicker in his eyes. âWear a pretty little thing for me?â
âYou know Iâll wear jeans.â
âAnd arenât they a pretty little thing?â His smile grew more affectionate. âAnd you look good in anything, DragÄ.â
âSure.â You cleared your throat, stepping more confidently away from him. âSee you later, B. Play well.â
âJust for you, baby!â
It was as if he was laying it on even thicker the more you turned his compliments away. While you never got quite used to his outspoken praise, it had been years since you embraced it and stopped fighting him on it â he didnât seem quite pleased that you suddenly had started. Then again, Barty never liked not getting his way, so it shouldnât surprise you.
You turned and walked back up the stairs, not turning to see whether he jogged off too or remained watching you like usual; you didnât feel like having the pieces of your heart jumped on, and both alternatives would have resulted in nothing less.
In the stands, you settled into your usual place by the railing, seated beside Lily and Marlene, who were there to cheer on Dorcas. The two girls were the only Gryffindors you tolerated, not due to any of your own sentiments, but simply as a form of hatred by-proxy from Regulus and Barty â they were also a great opportunity to slowly edge Regulus closer towards reconciling with his brother. Though you knew in your heart that was a slow-and-steady-wins-the-race type of situation.
The game flew by and while you were relatively certain you cheered in the right places and sat with baited breath at the tense moments, you felt you were never truly present. Pandoraâs voice in your ears was lulling, allowing your soul to drift out of your body and float up into the skies. You wondered if maybe you should take her up on her offer of teaching you how to meditate. Maybe that is how you end your torture rather than trying to change Barty and Regulusâ ways of being, even if it sent terribly mixed signals.
You were somehow exhausted by the time the whistle blew to announce Slytherinâs victory, despite not having done anything.Â
Victory was a guarantee for a rowdy party, which, if you didnât watch yourself, was a guarantee for mistakes. You could not risk slipping up and confessing your feelings to either boy â though some part of you whispered that perhaps some liquid courage is what you needed to tell them to stop flirting with you.
ââââ ââ
â ââââ
If the game had gone by in a blur for you, the party was nothing less. You lost Dorcas to Marleneâs wicked laugh just a few minutes in, and had since drifted between your many groups of friends. Shots with Evan, braiding with Pandora, armwrestling with Emmeline, gossiping with Amelia and Regulus. Throughout the whole night you had managed to keep things light, floating through the crowd and keeping someone by your side at all times. It made it bearable to be near the both of them when you had others to keep up appearances for. It also was a great distraction from the joint envy that bloomed in your heart whenever Barty paraded Regulus around like he ought to.
He tried to parade you too, but you slipped out of his grasp before he ever could.
The closer the night got to being over, the more intimate the atmosphere in the Slytherin common room grew. People migrated from standing around to sitting huddled together, there were quiet conversations and card games instead of yelling and butterbeer pong. There were less of the other house colours, and more of just the familiar greens and faces.
Meaning, it was your cue to slip out and away for a minute.
You, Regulus and Barty always ran off into some corner towards the end to do a debrief of the night, perhaps a bit tipsily. If there was one thing you couldnât take right now, it would be that.
It was easy to distract the both of them by starting a conversation with Evan and Pandora â whether torture methods has improved or worsened since the dark ages â that would have them in a chokehold. You used the opportunity to slip out through the common room door and walk down the hallway.
It was rare you were grateful for the gloomy dungeons and their cold stonewalls, but this was one such moment. You walked slowly, alone at last, taking deep breaths. Somehow the air felt fresh despite being several metres below ground; anything was better than the stuffy post-party air that clung to the common room.
You let your right hand graze the wall as you walked, texture rough and freezing beneath your fingertips, and tipped your head back with closed eyes. You knew the way like the back of your hand.
At the end of the hall was a rarely-used classroom that functioned more as a storage room these days â your favourite place of refuge. The desk in there was the perfect size to lay down on to close your eyes and relax, feet just barely hanging off the edge. Along the top of the wall was a narrow window that gave an obscured view of the Black Lake, distorted light spilling through to make the most beautiful shapes along the ceiling.
You could stay here and relax and by the time you went back, everyone would have gone off to bed already and you wouldnât have to face anyone until the morning.
â... Amour?â
You flinched so violently you almost fell off the desk, sitting up by propping yourself onto one elbow and clutching your chest with your other arm. âGods, Regulus, you cannot fucking sneak up on people like that!â
âSorry, love.â He offered you a half-hearted smile from where his head popped in through the crack in the door.
Bartyâs head appeared just below his, as if he had crouched down to get the comedic angle. âIâm not, what the fuck are you doing here?â
You could hear the light squaffle behind the door as Barty presumably tried to push Regulus aside so he could walk in, while Regulus tried to hold his own to walk with grace. It resulted in them more or less tumbling in, the latter boy straightening up to close the door carefully behind him.
âWhatcha mean?â you asked dumbly, deciding to remain in your half lounged position on the desk at the top of the room.
The boys exchanged a quick look that you didnât have the time to decipher.
Barty was the one who spoke. âI mean, how come youâre hiding out here? We have very important matters to discuss, you know.â
Your lips tightened slightly. You looked between them quietly while they came up to settle in front of your desk, Regulus deciding to lean his weight against a smaller one behind him while Barty jumped onto it without hesitation, settling into some odd position.
âNeeded some fresh air. Party got too hot for me.â
âSo you decided to lay down in this dusty room?â Regulus asked humorously, lifting a brow at you.
At the same time Barty commented, âI cannot imagine anything being too hot for you, Treasure.â
You ignored them both, fighting not to meet their eyes. This was going worse than you imagined.
âSorry, didnât mean to run off on you.â You aimed for a light-hearted tone, if a bit tired. âWant to do the debrief in here?â
Regulus hummed questioningly, as if he wanted to probe more, but Barty clapped his hands together. âYes. Youâre simply not getting out of this love, lest my bleeding heart become public knowledge as I wail at your absence.â
âStop it, Barty,â you whispered. He didnât hear you, in one way or another.
âOkay, so we all agree Dorcas and Marlene are shagging?â
You sit more up at this, realising you truly would be doing the whole debrief here, and that you would thus likely be here for a while. Also well aware that you know more than both of the boys on that matter, as Dorcas' dorm mate. âWell, duh,â you offer. âBut did you see anything tonight?â
You look at Barty as he speaks, but can feel Regulusâ gaze burning through the side of your head, and you wish he would stop trying to scrutinise you. You look over to meet his gaze, hoping to give him an Iâm fine smile that would divert his attention. However, when his eyes meet yours you see they are sparkling with that mischief that only Regulus can pull off, the kind that is equal parts elegant and dirty. He winks at you, and you really, really wish he wouldnât.Â
You shift your gaze back to Barty, further assuring his claim. âDonât push it with Cas, though,â you warn. âShe will tell you when she feels like."
âBut it is so much fun to push it though,â Barty pouted, making his eyes comically big.
âItâs even more fun to not be skinned alive by Dorcas in our sleep.â
âFine,â he groans, throwing his head back theatrically before settling you with a gaze. âBut only because you asked, beautiful.â
You hum noncommitedly, fighting any prickling tears. Donât be such a fucking twat. Let your friends speak to you.Â
âOh,â Regulus said, as if he just remembered a piece of drama to share. âAmelia flirted with me earlier.â
âShe what!?â Bartyâs voice was not much unlike a bansheeâs. âHave I not made it clear that your arse is off the market?â
Your heart plummeted and you had to fight not to let your shoulders grow into your ears.
âRight?â Regulus said through a laugh. âI think she was just too pissed, though. Would have flirted with anything that walked.â
âWhat did she say?â you asked somewhat meekly.
âOh, something about gorgeous curls and tight shirts and whatnot.â Regulus made a waving motion with his hand, as if physically brushing it off. âYou know, the usual. Called me baby.â
âOnly we get to call you baby,â Barty said through a pout.
We?
âI know, amour, I told her as much.â
Barty nodded emphatically. âGood. I donât like picking fights with birds, but I would if she canât keep her hands off the goods.â
Regulus gave his leg a light kick with his own. âDown, boy.â
Your stomach was turning over and you desperately wanted to leave. A comment about being tired and wanting to discuss the rest over breakfast tomorrow died on your tongue when Barty turned his attention to you, pout giving way for a scrutinising look.
âWhat about you, DragÄ? Anyone else flirt with you?â
Any turning in your stomach was replaced by an irritation seeping into your bloodstream, one that had been fighting with heartbreak and anxiety for your attention for almost a month now.
âI donât see how thatâs any of your business, B.â Youâre not sure quite what possessed you to say it, but there was no denying your dry tone.
Barty looked equally puzzled, head actually reeling backwards ever so slightly. Still, he pushed his luck. âAm I not allowed to be concerned for my girl?â
You looked at him incredulously. âI am not your girl.âÂ
That was the whole point. That was the whole heartbreak. That was all you could think about. They were each otherâs and you werenât theirs and you most certainly was not their girl.Â
Regulusâ stance shifted quickly, tensing in weariness. âAmour, what he meantââ
âI know what he meant.â You sighed, making no effort to hide your pain anymore. You could not take this. âI know what you both mean.â
âBabyââ Barty began, sliding off of his desk and moving towards you, but you cut him off.
âNo! Stop it, Barty, please.â He looked as if you had punched him. âI canât take it anymore, Iâm sorry. I am so, so happy for you and Iâm glad youâve found each other like that. But now that you have, I just canât take you flirting with me or, or doing the play pretend. Itâs not fun anymore.â
The room was laid in silence.Â
You had been defiantly staring at the wall behind them both, but after practically being able to hear the crashing out in their minds, you slid off your own desk and made your way towards the door without sparing them a glance. âI need a moment.â
âNo, no, hey, hey, hey,â Barty chanted as he ran up behind you, hand circling loosely around your wrist. Enough to ground you, but not enough to trap you should you want to wrestle free. He slowly came up around your stopped form. âShit, Y/N, Iââ This time he cut himself off, running his free hand through his hair and looking over at Regulus, whose footsteps you could hear stop right behind you.Â
You stared at the door over Bartyâs shoulder. This was your worst nightmare.
âAmour, weâre sorry,â Regulus whispered behind you. His hand came up to ever so slightly trace the side of your arm.
You felt ganged up on where you stood between them and you cursed your body for loving it, even as they were rejecting you more explicitly than ever. âItâs alright. Itâs not your fault that you donâtâ you know.â
âNo, no, no,â Barty chanted yet again, hands coming up to grasp both of your cheeks and bruising away a few tears you only now realised had fallen. You would never stop revelling at how Bartyâs touch could be so painfully gentle even when his voice was frantic and passionate. âThatâs exactly it, DragÄ, we do. We do. I do.â
You met his eyes and furrowed your brows at him. âBarty, I donât think you understand what Iâm saying.â
He had the audacity to laugh quietly at you. âI donât think you understand what youâre saying. In what world could I, Barty Crouch Junior, not be obsessed with you?â
âLovely girl,â Regulus whispered as he inched forward into your field of vision, hand growing more confident in its touch on your arm. âIâm sorry, weâve gone about this all wrong. We realised it quickly, but didnât know how to fix it. The whole... getting together part happened naturally between Barty and I, and we figured it would with you too immediately after, but it proved, uh, more complicated.â
At last, your brain caught up with you, and your instinctive reaction was to jerk backwards out of both of their grasps, not even feeling the impact of your back hitting the desk behind you. Both boys hissed at the thump that sounded.
You finally looked at both of their eyes and found layers of insecurity and guilt there, along withâŚÂ
âAre you sayingâŚâ you started, but trailed off, unsure how to formulate the words.
âIâm obsessed with you, consumed by you, enthralled by you, whatever word you please, itâs yours. Iâm yours.â Bartyâs face was almost impassive despite the volumes behind his confession. More tears welled in your eyes, by confusion still more than any relief â you didnât dare feel that yet.
âWhat heâs saying is that â well, that we love you.â Regulus smiled and you saw the quiver of his lips at the unfamiliar words.
You let out a half-choked sound. âI donât understand? But then whyâ how comeââÂ
Regulus took a careful few steps towards you once more, hand held out between you in a show of safety. âEven as it happened, I remember thinking you would laugh at us for it. Really what happened a month ago was just that we didnât really think at all.â
âWhich you rightfully accuse us of a lot,â Barty added.
âRight. Barty and I were together and drunk and that tension weâve all had, I guess it finally spilled over for us. By the time we had admitted our feelings physically, we didnât really need words for it, which is what we both struggle with the most. And you werenât close by to be dragged into it. When we told everyone we hoped to just⌠smoothly join you in. Wouldnât be difficult right, itâs always been the three of us anyway?â
âTurns out itâs not so bloody simple,â Barty grumbled.
By this point, tears were streaming clearly down your face. Regulus reached out a hesitant thumb to wipe them away. âWe were stupid, amour. And by the time we got our wits about us, we didnât know how to reign you in, other than by⌠continuing being us. Us three.â
âHow could I feel like it was us three when it was so clearly you two?â you all but sobbed.
Barty had grown too impatient by Regulusâ easing you in and closed the gap in two long strides, grabbing at your hand fiercely. âYou couldnât, we were just stupid wankers and absolute boys. Youâre perfect, itâs not your fault you fell in love with us sods.â
You laughed a bit wetly, bringing grins out on both of their faces. âBold claim you have there,â you said, some teasing making its way into your voice.
âBut an accurate one?â Regulusâ tone was void of humour, just quiet and nervous and hopeful.
âOf course,â you breathed and Bartyâs hands tightened around yours. âI always thought it was us three⌠when it seemed like it was just you two, Iâ I didnât really know what to do with myself.â
âSo you ran and you hid,â Barty concluded with a nod. Upon your almost offended expression he hastily added, âas is understandable, and as asserted, we are wankers and you are perfect.â
âStop saying that,â you whispered.
âBut itâs true,â Regulus added in the same cadence. Then, a sparkle settled in his eyes as he regarded you. âCan I prove it to you?â
Your breath hitched at the implication but you nodded, ever so hopeful smile growing on your face. You dared tighten your own hold on Bartyâs hands â they were delightfully warm.
Regulusâ smile matched yours and he took a final step towards you to bring the two of you together. His lips covered yours in the sweetest of kisses, slow and smooth and exactly how you had guiltily pictured. He breathed in as he kissed you and you felt the air move across your skin, tickling and tingling. When he pulled back he pressed a quick kiss to your cheek too.
âThis whole thing should have never played out this way,â he started. âBut this is exactly where I always wanted to end up.â
Barty bumped lightly into both of you, giving you a conspiring smile. âItâs true â he tried to brag to me that he had been picturing us three together since fifth year, which is embarrassingly late for him. Iâve pictured this since the fifth week of knowing you both.â
You huffed a laugh, feeling your entire face still burning from the confessions, neck aching from the whiplash and lips tingling from the kiss. âThen youâve both got eons on me. I only really realised, like, last term.â
âSee, thatâs because you are sane,â Barty provided, circling his arms around your hips to pull both you and Regulus closer to him. âA sane beautiful girl who balances us out perfectly and who completes my heart.â
âOne we will spend eons making up lost time with,â Regulus added somewhat cheekily.Â
You brought your hands up to properly wipe at your face, hoping to remove redness and giddiness with the wet. âItâs barely been a month.â
âA month you spent confused and hurt, DragÄ. That cannot slide. I would have hexed anyone else who did that to you.â
âNo one else could have broken my heart,â you said then, intending it to be romantic.
The horrified looks on their faces said otherwise. âYou were heartbroken?â Barty exclaimed in intense frustration, pulling his wand up and handing it to Regulus. âReggie, baby, I need you to Avada me right now. Use my wand so they canât trace you and send you to Azkaban, because you need to be her personal servant to repent for us.â
âBarty!â you laughed, quickly plucking the wand out of his hands before any shenanigans could occur. âItâs fine, reallyââ
âNope, absolutely not,â he cut you off. âI must fix this. Kiss it better?â
Before you could even really respond he brought his hand up to the back of your neck, pulling your face gently albeit quickly towards his. Millimetres before his lips could crash with yours, though, he paused. Giving you the opportunity to back down. His thumb was ghosting carefully across the baby hairs at the nape of your neck.
With a delighted sigh, you leaned your chest against his and brought him the final way in for the kiss.
His lips were softer than they looked, fitting exactly within the narrative that usually followed your relationship with Barty. He quickly opened them for you, bringing your bottom lip in between yours and kissing you passionately, tongue sliding over delicate skin. One of your hands curled into his shirt by his collar, wand long since discarded on a desk, while the other found Regulusâ neck, massaging it not much unlike Barty did with yours.
Bartyâs skillful lips trailed happy kisses along your jaw, turning into a smile at the breathy laugh that escaped you at his ministrations.Â
Your eyes met Regulus while Barty practically attempted to bury himself beneath your skin, smiling and sighing against you â kissing it better. The former boyâs smile was at its widest and most sentimental, encircling the both of you within his arms.
âY/N,â he said, almost seriously. âWe will do right by you, as we always should have. Iâll start by asking, will you please legitimise our feelings by becoming our girlfriend?â
Before you could reply, Barty added against your neck, âAnd will you please take back your demand we stop flirting with you, because I donât think I can.â
You were afraid your smile was almost dreamy â everything you believed out of reach just a few minutes ago was not quite literally cradled in your arms. âYou are both so unbelievable. Yes, Iâll happily be your girlfriend and yes you may flirt with me.â
Barty popped his head back up from your neck, lips somewhat swollen despite being stretched wide. âFucking finally.â
âYou say that as if I was the one holding back,â you teased, poking him in the chest.
âAnd while I will lay down and take a sword to the chest for ever believing I was not mad about you,â Barty began. âI think there is also something to be said about little miss run away and completely shut away any and all feelings and compliments.â
You hummed as if in thought. âNo, I donât think so.â
Regulus snorted in that way he only ever did around you two. Then, he reached out and gave you two, three kisses in a row, grinning all the while. âSorry,â he mumbled. âToo cute.â
Barty, tactile as ever, was cradling your cheek in his hand, tracing the side of your nose with his index finger. âI want the court to know that I am absolutely mad about Regulus,â he started, smiling all the while. âBut it was always you too, silly.â
Emboldened, you leaned forward and gave him a sweet kiss. âGlad to know it.â
âNow letâs make sure everyone else does too, yeah?â

Dude since like you would continue writing poly moonwaterkiller. Idk if you okay with it, but do you mind writing poly moonwaterkiller x sick reader. I mean, we know barty is so fucking wild. Would love to see barty doing anything for reader to make her happy, but moonwater get stress cos "no barty! she shouldn't be outside rn! She's sick!" And Barty be like "but she looks happy out hereee!!!"
Something like that, thank you! And love you both
thanks so much for your request (and your patience in me writing this for you a few months later đ
). I knew I loved the idea; just needed to wait for the right moment to write it!!
poly!moonwaterkiller x sick!reader who Barty is taking very good care of thank you very much
CW: fem!reader is poorly, Barty calls Pandora peculiar [affectionately], disgusting amount of fluff
âDovey!â Remus exclaimed as he spotted you sitting on the stone floor of a small balcony on the side of Gryffindor tower. âWhat are you doing out here!?â
It had officially been about a week of this gods-awful flu that was wreaking havoc on your immune system (and more importantly, your lungs) to which Madame Pomfrey prescribed healing draughts, lots of water, and rest.
And this, Remus felt, was decidedly not rest.Â
He and Regulus rushed to crouch beside your hunched over form to see that your eyes were closed as you pointed your face towards the sky.Â
âHi boys.â You offered weakly, still never opening your eyes to greet them.
âAmour, what are you doing out here?â Regulus repeated, placing the back of his hand against your temple and grimacing at the heat radiating from it.Â
âGetting some sun.â You explained simply. âHavenât been outside in ages.â
And while Remus knew that to be technically true, he also knew there had been a reason for that.Â
âDovey, itâs barely spring and itâs far too cold for you to be out here; besides, itâs mostly cloudy.â He explained, wondering how in the hell you found the energy to move yourself from Remusâ bed all the way out here when you seemed completely incapable of even opening your eyes.Â
And where the hell was Junior!?
âExactly; mostly cloudy.â Bartyâs voice chimed in as he stepped out onto the balcony to join the three of them with a cup of tea in one hand and a bowl of soup in the other.
âJunior, what in Salazarâs name do you think youâre doing?â Regulus hissed at him as he placed the bowl on the ground in front of you.Â
âTaking care of our girl.â He hissed back at him before softening as he turned to look at you.Â
âHey Treasure, still doing okay?â He asked softly, pushing a lock of hair behind your ear.Â
You hummed in acknowledgment.Â
âI brought some tea with lots of honey.â He explained as he placed the cup in your hands.
That, Remus noticed bitterly, enticed you to open your eyes.Â
âThank you.â You cooed, though the sentiment was sort of lost in the coughing fit that it elicited.Â
âJunior, itâs too cold outside; she needs to be in bed.â Remus sighed disappointedly.
Disappointed that he had to play the bad cop, and disappointed because this looked like a really nice way to spend the afternoon.Â
If you were tired of being sick, Remus was tired of watching you feel so poorly and not being able to do anything to fix it.Â
âI cannot believe you think me daft enough to leave her to the elements, Lupin.â Barty sneered as he resituated the blanket that had begun to slide off your shoulder. âShe has four layers on and a heating charm surrounding her, Evans had some muggle fever reducers that I gave her just before I went to the kitchens, and vitamin D is supposed to support healthy immune system function. So suck my dick; the both of you.â
âOkay.â Remus offered quickly at the same time Regulus let out a tiresome âBartyâ.Â
âYou feel better already, donât you baby?â He cooed as he sat beside you and pressed a kiss to your overly hot temple.
You hummed in the affirmative again.Â
âOkay, but where are her shoes?â Remus continued, noting the way you were sitting with your knees up to your chest and the soles of your feet pressed firmly into the stone beneath you.
Barty seemed to turn a bit bashful at that before quickly schooling his expression. âItâs quite simple, really. Pandora suggested that she ought to try grounding.â
Though his tone was haughty, he turned bashful again when he received no response from either of his boyfriends.
âSaid it would be good for herâŚchakras or her aura orâŚI donât know! Alright!? I donât know; but Salazarâs saggy balls, sheâs been so sick for so long and I just wanted her to feel better. So yeah, I listened to Peculiar Pandora, okay? Sue me.âÂ
Barty hardly had a moment to pout before Remus was wrestling the Slytherin into his lap as Regulus cooed at him.
âBartyâs going soft.â Regulus taunted lovingly.
âI will literally bite your fucking head off, Black; try me.â
âYouâre just soft for our girl, hm?â Remus purred into Bartyâs ear, relishing in the way the notoriously tense boy melted for him.
Barty made a harrumphing sound half way between reluctant admittance and a whine.Â
âBe nice to him.â You admonished quietly; opening one eye at Remus and Barty as you leaned into Regulusâ side who had moved to sit beside you in Bartyâs place.Â
âHe is being nice.â Regulus defended quickly.
âIâm always nice.â Remus added. âIâm alway nice to you, arenât I?â He continued as he looked down at Barty, currently curled up in his lap.Â
âYouâre mean.â Barty pouted.
âCome now.â
âHorrid.â
âYeah?â
âJust awful.â
Remus beamed down at the petulant boy before nuzzling his face into his neck.
âYou love it.â He accused.
Barty was quiet for a moment as he drew circles on the back of Remusâ hand. âMaybe.â
Remus was very thankful that Barty was such a clever person, because sitting out here with his three loves on this semi-lovely Scottish spring day felt an awful lot like Remusâ own little personal heaven.
