I Ship You With...

Sirius Black (Marauders Era)

Sirius would not be intimidated by your fiery temperament; in fact, I imagine he would be quite thrilled by it. You can get very intense and so can he, so that’s why you’re such a high-energy couple; basically you don’t let anyone walk all over you, not even the Marauders. You’re blunt, and hot-headed, and Sirius loves that because it reminds him of what he looks for in a best friend - someone who can keep up with his antics and won’t be intimidated by his brash nature. It’s only a matter of time before he realizes he’s actually in love with you.

It might have to do with how good you look in heels, though. They’re, of course, prohibited at Hogwarts, but during the holidays when you’re all at James’s house and throwing a party, he sees you in a dress and heels for the first time and he’s completely blown away. Before that, he had been a little bit dense in the sense that he always found you attractive, but your personality reminded him so much of his friends’ that he considered you “one of the boys”. From that moment on, he completely abandons that idea, however. You’re an incredible woman, fierce and proud, strong and ambitious, and he couldn’t be more head over heels (ha!) in love with you. James may have caught him staring at you a few times since that day, before he confesses and you become an official item.

Sirius dabbles on the “Gryffindor/Slytherin” limit as well, and you definitely recognize some Slytherin qualities in his temper, although it scares him more than anything to believe he could follow the steps of his family. You reassure him that there’s nothing wrong with being a Slytherin in itself, and that whatever house you’re in doesn’t guarantee you will be a good or a bad person. It’s thanks to you that he has a more nuanced side about the people and the world surrounding him, and that he learns to embrace his Slytherin side a little bit more.

That does not mean he forgives his parents for what they did, or start looking out for the best in them, obviously - they’re trash and you both know it, so you don’t want him to crawl back asking them to have mercy on him. Besides, by helping you get out of your self-destructive habits and offering you a healthier outlet to vent your frustrations to or let go of your emotions, he discovers that he, too, has quite unhealthy ways of dealing with his pent-up anger and fear and years of abuse, notably taking it out on other people. It’s a sudden realization and it freezes him, because he suddenly becomes aware that in his paralyzing fear of not becoming what his parents wanted him to be, he is exactly doing that. You can both work on your feelings and coping mechanisms together, and something that calms you down is taking a nice stroll around the castle grounds and talking earnestly about your feelings. The Marauders are always surprised to see how lowkey and mature you look in those moments, but it’s a much-needed relief for the both of you.

You would introduce him to a lot of Muggle sports, mainly the ones you practice often, and he’d love them a lot. He would struggle a bit with the concept of karate and any martial art at first, because why would you need to fight with your body when you have a wand that can do everything you need for you - and if you are talented enough at magic, you can even blast non-verbal spells? But he understands the appeal when you argue back that when you don’t have your wand, or you’re too caught up in the situation to think straight, your body is your most reliable weapon. Also, martial arts are a great way of dealing with negative emotions and releasing frustrations - he should try it sometime.

You always have the best arguments to counter his. It’s a little bit frustrating how unwilling you are to let go of a discussion until you have undeniably won, by shutting him up. But he lowkey loves someone who will not go down without a fight - someone like you. It makes it all more exciting, doesn’t it?
