*clears throat* My personal headcanon is that Sirius used to be Walburga’s favorite son.

The moment he was born, she already knew he was special. Her firstborn. She always tells people that stars started dancing in the sky when Sirius first cried as a baby. Sirius was a happy and smart child. He learned the spells much quickly than kids his age. Put him in a room full of kids and he will come out as the ringleader. He always covers for Regulus, and she lets him, because she likes seeing how responsible her baby is becoming. Charming, regal, powerful. The perfect Black. The perfect heir.

But also, Sirius had a streak of rebelliousness (just like her!). He knew the rules, he knew how to play with it, and in it. But he also did not want to bow down to anything, never wanted anybody to be his equal. Sirius accepts others, but also never forgets that he’s above everyone. The perfect Black.

She gives him everything. The best robes, best quills, best paints. She lets him access the forbidden books because she has no doubt in his intellect, or his self-preservation. She lets him go to the Muggle hunts because she knows Arcturus loves Sirius and she knows how happy her son is when Grandfather and Father acknowledge him. (She earns a slap when she questions him what happened, why did Sirius come home so quiet.) She leaves Regulus with him often, and her heart breaks a little at how Regulus shrinks himself (just a little!) but that is how it should be and she’s proud of him. Regulus is the second son. He should understand as early as he can that he is and should never be Sirius’ equal. She brings him to Pureblood gatherings and her heart swells with pride every time a child excuses themselves with a forlorn expression, realizing that they are nowhere near her baby boy’s level. The perfect Black.

She sees him sit beside a bespectacled boy on the Hogwarts Express. The boy waves to Euphemia Potter, and though they are not her family of choice, the Potters are purebloods and that boy will do. Her darling boy will soon ignore him after the usual pleasantries. And if he does not, he will be forgotten once Sirius is in Hogwarts.

That night, she bites her lip through Orion’s Cruciatus (Didn’t I tell you all your coddling would make him weak! How much shame should I have to endure due to your rebelliousness?) after news of Sirius’ sorting has reach 12 Grimmauld Place. Regulus is asleep and Orion Black is not the man who will finally make her scream. She writes to the Headmaster. There has been a mistake! No Black has ever been sorted outside of Slytherin and it certainly would not be her firstborn. The perfect Black! She writes to Sirius, telling him to go to the Headmaster and the Head of House Slytherin. She tells him everything will be fine.

Two days later, she receives Sirius’ reply. “Everything is fine, mother. I like it here. The first Gryffindor Black!” She’s torn between disgust and pride. How did this happen? Sirius knew how to play within in the rules. Is he making his own rules? Is this what it was?

The ladies in society mock her as they pass. Hushed whispers of “I told you so” floated around her for weeks. She tightens her grip on Regulus’ wrist as she quickens their pace. A warning. A protection. She tells him over and over again to not make his brother’s mistake. A warning. A protection. (Regulus has always seen it as a threat.)

Sirius goes home for the holidays a completely different person. He talks about James and Remus (half-blood!) and Peter (another half-blood!). He talks about James and Quidditch. He talks about James and Evans (mudblood!!!!). He tells Regulus all these stories about Hogwarts and the Red House and Walburga wants to blast that blasted castle to ash. He’s talking with his hands moving and his legs spread too far apart. She sees him sit up straight when he catches her glaring. Orion yells at her every night, blaming her for everything that Sirius has become. She curses the Potter boy under her breath. Curses the Sorting Hat. Dumbledore. Everyone. They have corrupted her boy. The perfect Black.

She sends him off to the Express once more after the Holidays are over. He kisses her cheek and says he’ll miss her. “I know you’re not happy with this, Mother, but I am. And I truly am sorry to break your heart, please know that.” She squeezes his hand and she swallows the tightness in her throat as she bids him goodbye.

She received so many letters of his troublemaking tendencies the following year. And the year after that. And the year after. She has written so many letters as well, with hands still shaking from anger, shame, or Orion’s last curse, reminding Sirius of who he was. The Black heir. The one set to stand over everyone in the Noble and Most Ancient House.

Her nails started digging itself deeper on Regulus’ skin. Reminding him not to make the same mistakes his brother did. He didn’t and Walburga loved him so, so much for that.

12 Grimmauld Place is always loud when Sirius is home for the holidays. So many arguments due to his behavior. Sirius has always talked back and Walburga has always been proud of him when he does it, but now he’s defending mudbloods in her house, asking if his half-blood friends can come over and she wonders since when did she start resenting the sound of her firstborn’s voice.

Since when was Sirius a complainer? Could he not see that he was given everything? That he had it easy? That she has protected him from everything, every evil his father could do to him? He used to be the most perfect son, how did this even happen? Did he not realize how many times Walburga gritted her teeth to protect him? How much she has endured to make sure he would grow up differently and less painfully?

It turns out her firstborn would be finally be the man to make her scream.

And Walburga screamed and screamed and screamed. She cursed him and shamed him and belittled him. And Sirius screamed back. As expected. He cursed her and shamed her and belittled her.

The baby boy she raised so carefully, broken to pieces by her.

Years later, Orion is dead and she believes she is free. The war is still raging and she is scared Regulus would soon be dead after defecting. She allows herself to believe in that freedom.

She reads the Prophet everyday, hoping she does not see certain names in the Obituaries.

Regulus knocks on her door and tells her he will be missing dinner and to not wait up for him. She does not reply. She continues to stare blankly at the window when her secondborn kneels beside her. He holds her hand and kisses her cheek and apologizes for breaking her heart.

She blinks away memories of an eleven year old at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters telling her the same thing. She slowly turns to Regulus and asks, for the first time ever, “Where is your brother?”

Regulus smiles softly. “I don’t know. Though he is in a happier place, I’m sure.”

“Was he unhappy here?”

Regulus takes a while before replying. “Not always. But he was always lonely.”

Walburga struggles to believes that, but Regulus does not have to hear it.

Two years later, she receives boxes of Sirius’ belongings after he was sent to Azkaban and she screams again. Out of despair, shame, frustration, she does not know. She wanted to burn every single one of those and she would have, had Kreacher not opened a box and a framed photo of Sirius in a wedding sat on top of that pile. Did he get married? She did not even know. She realizes the Potter boy is also in the picture and remembers the first time Sirius yelled at her (Why are you friends with someone in love with a Mudblood— / Don’t call her that! Don’t you dare call her that!). He reaches for Sirius’ face in that photo and oh... She remembers how her baby boy used to smile like that. He used to smile at her like that.

“He was always lonely.”

She commands Kreacher to close the boxes and take it up Sirius’ old room.

Walburga Black would really rather not rethink all her choices in life but alas, all there is for old people waiting to die is time. She would never admit to it, not that there are people left alive for her to admit her guilt to.

And if she visits both her sons’ rooms and silently grieve all the love she spent and lost, no one would have to know.

This is the Marauders fic Snakes and Lions.

I fucking love it!!! It has not nearly enough readers or kudos and I want to promote it as much as possible.

It was the first ever long fic I read so it has a special place in my heart.

So what are you going to find when you read it?

The first thing that's diffrent to other Marauders fics is that it's Slytherin Remus!!!

It is Wolfstar and with the hous rivalry an enemies to lovers between Sirius and him.

Remus is friends with Barty and Evan and they're always in prank wars with the Marauders.

Barty and Evan aren't replacing Sirius, James and Peter. They don't know about Remus being a Weerwolf and there for don't become Animagi for him.

It also has Starchaser and the fic starts with the info that because of good grades Regulus skips into his brothers grade. He becomes Roommates with Remus, Barty and Evan and best friends with Remus especialy (platonic Moonwater my beloved).

It has The Prank and follows pretty much the main story and then later on goes into The War arc.

If that didn't confince you to the end you get baby harry which isn't in the tags but maybe that makes you want to read it.

Please do!!! It has such good black brothers angst and I just really love the dynamic Remus and Regulus have. Like they are eachothers ride or die.

Peter as a character does get kind of neglected at first but then does become a person that you can see is part of the Marauders and not just their loser friend.

Prongsfoot has the most mutually over-the-top, elaborate, honeymoon of a Valentine’s Day during their 7th year and Remus and Regulus get to very platonically hear about how amazing Prongsfoot is - not only from Sirius and James, but from everyone else, too.

Hello, Anon! My apologies on the fact that this was sent around V-Day and it's now June. Hope it's worth the wait, and hope you like it.

***

It’s their first Valentine’s Day together, and well, James wants to make it absolutely perfect. Which means talking it out with others to make sure that Sirius would love it. It’s not that he doubts his abilities to completely wow Sirius (he doesn’t), but he needs to chat about it with someone because if not he’s going to spill the secret to Sirius and that would ruin everything.

Hence the reason he’s currently sprawled out on Regulus’ bed in the Slytherin dorms (having used the cloak to get in secretly), telling him every detail down to the minute of the plan – which may or may not include apparating out of Hogsmeade to a special dinner date in Sirius’ favorite muggle restaurant and a ride down the coast to a wonderful inn for their first time.

Alright, it’s not exactly their first time doing anything, but James has always been nervous about penetration, and he wants to make it special.

Regulus, for his part, is barely managing to not roll his eyes at James. “Did you really break in here just to talk about my brother?”

“Yes, yes, I did. This is our first Valentine’s Day, it has to be perfect.”

“No offense but I don’t think Sirius is the overly romantic type – I am sure that he doesn’t need some utterly perfect date, just the two of you together.”

James props himself up on his elbows. “I’ve always been over-the-top with Valentine’s Day dates ever since my first in third year when Sally Peterson stomped on my foot for saying that I thought going overboard on Valentine’s Day was ridiculous.”

“Okay, but Sirius is not a bird, he’s not going to care –”

“But if I don’t make it special, he’s going to think I don’t care about him the way I cared about those birds – he might even think that I’m just suddenly interested in blokes because I overheard his confession to Remus about me. That I am just dating him out of pity or something…”

“He knows you better than that, James,” Regulus answers with a roll of his eyes. “You’ve been best mates for ages, this is different than any of those dates with those birds.”

“I know that, I just don’t want to give him any reason to doubt me.”

“He’s not going to doubt you…”

“Especially if I plan the world’s most perfect date. So, can you just be helpful instead of claiming I don’t need to do this?”

Regulus let's out a long-suffering sigh. “Fine, let’s do this.”

***

“I didn’t think you were into all this romantic mushy stuff?” Remus asks, as Sirius finishes dressing in his chosen lingerie. He’s tried on a few different ones so far, but this one was his top choice and he’s getting Remus’ opinion on them.

It’s black silk over his front with a red heart placed over the hole that his cock can slip through and black lace on his arse. He’s got black lace stockings as well and red heels, which had been given to him by one of the Gryffindor birds when he expressed wanting to do something to surprise James on Valentine’s Day.

“I don’t – in fact, it’s really not me, but James loves love as much as any of the birds I’ve been with, and I know from experience that someone with his taste would want something special,” Sirius calls through the doorway to the bathroom. “Now, are you ready?”

“Sure.”

Sirius enters the dorm room with a practiced walk of a model. Strutting across the room to the mirror and turning around to strut back before stopping and facing Remus. “What do you think?”

“I think James is a very lucky man.”

Sirius grins and struts back over to the mirror. “You really think this is good? Is this the winner?”

“I think it’s fantastic. Definitely a number one pick. Between the glass growing flower, chocolates and this … he’s a very lucky man. It’s a shame he’s an only child.”

Sirius can see Remus eyeing him through the reflection of the mirror. “Don’t get any ideas, Moony,” Sirius states. “Even if he wasn’t an only child, I don’t think James or I would want to share. Sorry. Appreciate the compliment though. Wanna hear about the rest of the night I have planned?”

“Not particularly, but I know I’m going to hear about it, anyway.”

“That you are,” Sirius says as he sits on the bed, not bothering to change. “So, here’s what I’m thinking…”

***

“Did you hear about Potter and Black’s Valentine’s plans?”

Remus groans and plops his head down on his book. The bird that’s discussing it with her friend is a Ravenclaw, but apparently, the rumors about the Head Boy’s V-day plans with the Hogwarts Casanova has hit the Hogwarts Rumor Mill and everyone has to know and talk about it.

“I see you’re doing well,” the voice of the Casanova’s brother says from beside him. “Have you, too, been inundated with the unfortunate hearing of everything about my brother’s V-day plans?” He sits beside Remus despite the fact that he’s at the Gryffindor table. “Where are the lovebirds anyway?”

“I’d rather not know, honestly,” Remus states. “Isn’t it bad enough I have to help Sirius with his plans for James without hearing about it all over school, too?”

“At least you’re not related to one of them,” Regulus counters. “I am truly happy for him, but I did not need to hear that apparently he plans to wear lacy lingerie and high heels.”

Remus snorts as he looks at him. “At least you didn’t have to watch him try them on and help decide.”

“If James asked me to do that, I would have thrown him out the window.”

“There’s an idea, maybe next time.”

“You think there’s going to be a next time that he’ll need your advice on,” he shivers, “that?”

“James’ birthday is at the end of March … so, yes.”

Regulus laughs. “Good luck with that.”

***

Today’s the day.

There’s nothing like waking up curled around his boyfriend and knowing that he would get the chance to celebrate their first Valentine’s Day together.

Since he heard rumors about Sirius’ plans for his ‘present’ to James, when Sirius asked to meet him in the entrance hall, James had agreed, no matter how weird it was since they literally share a dorm room.

At least it let him make sure he had everything in his bag for the overnight destination (which he had to clear with McGonagall because technically as Head Boy, he has to get permission that the other seventh years don’t). He tried to tell her his plans for Sirius, but she quickly shut that down. (Mister Potter, you are my student, I have no interest in your love life now that I’ve won the ‘when will they get together’ bet).

James tries not to grin at the fact that they are such favorites the professors were betting on them getting together – maybe their fancies were just a little too obvious.

He’s just finished checking when Sirius saunters into the entrance hall.

Merlin, could he be any more gorgeous?

“Hey, Jay, looking mighty fine.”

James laughs. “Says the most gorgeous man ever.”

“Oh, gross, can’t you two get a room already?” Regulus complains. He’s walking up to greet Remus, who’s he’s going to hang out with today since they’re both dateless.

“That’s a great idea! Come, Si, we’ve got a date to get to.”

Sirius grins. “Yes, we definitely do.”

***

The brief visit to Hogsmeade, the dinner, and ride on the bike was nothing compared to entering the inn for their overnight visit.

There’s rose petals, soft lighting, and hopelessly romantic music filling the room. It was … so James that Sirius isn’t even surprised.

“I’ve got a surprise for you for tonight, so why don’t you get comfortable, and I’ll go get it?”

James grins. “For you? Anything.”

“Good.”

Sirius heads to the bathroom and quickly manages to fish out his bag that holds his heels. He’d been wearing the lingerie all day which only made him more anxious for tonight but had forgone the heels.

He strips down to the lingerie and then slips into the heels and checks himself in the mirror. He looks damn good and he’s sure James is going to melt.

“Ready?” he calls.

“Just a minute,” James calls back. There are some sounds of shuffling before James calls out again, “Ready!”

Sirius opens the door and walks out slowly strutting his stuff until he spies James.

Oh James. The love of his life has managed to outshine Sirius’ lingerie idea since he’s laying on the bed in a red lace teddy that hides nothing to the imagination. He’s got one leg up and looking seductively on Sirius.

“Wow,” he breathes. “You look … oh, Sirius.”

Sirius tries his best not to flush. “I see we had similar ideas.”

James sits up and scoots to the edge of the bed, gesturing for Sirius to come stand between his legs, which he does.

The second he’s within kissing range, James is kissing him all over, punctuating the kisses with, “Had to … once I … heard that… my gorgeous Casanova … was doing … this.”

He groans audibly and says, “It was meant to be a secret.”

James laughs. “Then, you shouldn’t have been asking around for advice.”

Sirius chuckles, too. “Well, Remus wasn’t entirely helpful, I needed the birds’ advice, too. Plus, the heels. I’m guessing you didn’t run this,” he gestures at the outfit, “by my brother?”

“Not a chance. We may be good friends, but I don’t need your brother potentially imagining me in lingerie meant for you.”

He has a point because Sirius is hoping the same for Remus and anyone else that may have snuck a glance at his lingerie sets as he planned this evening, but that doesn’t matter.

He shakes his head. “Let’s not talk about anyone else tonight – this is about you and me… having the best Valentine’s Day ever.”

James grins. “All the planning a success, then?”

“Oh, yes. Don’t you agree?”

“Yes.”

They kiss passionately for a minute or two, Sirius pulling James to his feet to dance to the music.

“I love you.”

“I love you, too,” James says with a smile as he picks up their glasses of champagne and hands one to Sirius. “And here’s to the first of many Valentine’s Days with the love of my life.”

Sirius grins. “I’ll drink to that.”

“Good.”

***

Thanks for reading :)

When we were up to no good

Chapter 44 posted: A Sirius disappointment

…

'Looking for your half-blood brat of a friend,' sneered Walden Macnair as Sirius and James were making their way through the entrance hall.

They had planned to see if Hagrid was in his hut, and willing to entertain them with a cup of tea. Sirius was also quite excited at the idea of seeing Thunder again. His parents loathed animals, barely tolerating their own family owl, but Sirius had always enjoyed them, and Thunder had slowly gained a special place in his heart.

Macnair was a tall, black-haired seventh year Slytherin, whom Sirius had not given much thought to before. The Blacks had very little to do with the Macnairs, who were neither rich nor influential. What Macnair could want with him and James - or any of their friends was beyond Sirius.

'You have to be more specific than that,' Sirius said, trying to sound unconcerned.

The two most obvious suspects were Remus and Peter, and as they had just left Remus in the library, there was a real chance this moron was talking about Peter.

'We've got more than one friend,' James agreed, looking at Macnair with undisguised distaste, and refusing to engage with the fact that Macnair had narrowed it down by mentioning blood status.

Not that Macnair had truly narrowed down anything. Sirius had three friends, and with James by his side, Macnair could only really be speaking about Peter or Remus, both of whom were half-blood.

But then that wasn't strictly speaking true for James, who also had the Quidditch team and who seemed to get along swimmingly with Maeve Ryan too. Although, that wasn't difficult considering how much Maeve and James both liked Quidditch.

'Well, that's your look-out, innit,' Macnair said gleefully. 'Just remember when you find him that it's nothin' personal. I was just doin' a favour for a friend who's position makes it... challenging for him to deal with brats like you himself.'

'And where can we find our friend?' Sirius asked coolly, raising his wand, noticing that James did the same beside him.

Macnair laughed. It was a cruel, brutish laugh that Sirius was sure many would find intimidating, but Sirius had never been scared of bullies.

'I don't like repeating my questions, Macnair,' Sirius said, sounding in his own ears exactly like the Black heir his family wished he was.

Harry Potter

Baby I'm yours (until two + two is three) (Regulus/James) (i did not expect this au to blow up as much as it did, and it always holds a special place in my heart because this is the first fest i ever joined <3)

Soul-Mate Identifying Words AU: "I always knew you were meant to be a Slytherin. How did you fool the Hat?" Everyone got their Soulmate marks from the minute they were born. Regulus should have been happy to not be one of the rare people who wasn't born with a soul mark, but with the conspicuous marking on the side of his arm, equal parts salvation and damnation, he couldn't help but wish he was born without one.

i wish (i found love) (Harry/Draco)

Harry really didn't expect fourth year would turn out like this. His godfather on the run, unwillingly being entered into a death tournament, and most importantly, Draco fucking Malfoy speaking French. That, more than anything else, was driving him slowly mad. inspired by the tumblr post: goblet of fire au where draco talks to all the beauxbatons girls in fluent french and that’s the story of how harry potter lost his fucking mind

the dumb, the wild, the free (Harry/Draco)

It all started when Draco had the brilliant idea of flirting with Harry fucking Potter. Or more accurately, when he went to a summer camp for two weeks, his parents apparently determined to make him realize that he needed to survive on his own, especially since the whispers that the Dark Lord would rise had become louder and louder (Written as a prequel to I wish (I found love), but can be read as a stand-alone)

knew nothing of romance (love at second sight) (Harry/Tom) (one of my favourites!!!) (tomarry and more supernatural elements??)

Something about the forest had called to Harry ever since he had been two, him always going to the edge of the forest by himself until his parents or big brother caught him. Each of those moments, he wondered why his Mama and Papa had such odd looks on their faces, or why his brother treated him as if he would break afterward. For now, he followed the strange sensation that let him know he was going the right way, a soft tug that was comfortable and slightly hungry, though he didn't know how or why. There was a strange boy in the woods that only ever approached Harry, no one else. And there was also the matter of the lightning-bolt-shaped scar on Harry's forehead.

young god (Harry/Tom) (prequel to knew nothing - i just love tom)

Tom Riddle hadn't meant to fall in love. It hadn't really been a conscious decision—after he had seen how destructive the love - if he could call it that - between his parents had been, and how both his parents hadn't come out of it the same people they had been, he had sworn never to fall in love.

Tom Riddle, and what he came to be.

the beauty of a secret (you have to keep it) (Remus/Sirius) (first long one-shot i wrote :^))

When Remus asked Sirius to be his fake-date for them to visit his parents for the Christmas holidays, he hadn't expected it to go that well, not really. No one, least of all Remus, could have predicted how rapidly it deteriorated, especially with his long-hidden feelings that were too close to the surface.Wake Up and Notice (You're Someone You're Not) (Harry/Draco) (Unfinished and Discontinued) Draco Malfoy really didn't expect his fourth year to go like this. First, the Dark Lord comes to the Malfoy Manor, giving him no privacy and traumatic memories to last a lifetime. And now, Potter, of all people, wants to be friends with him. Voldemort, instead of going to Riddle Manor during 1994, goes to the Malfoy Manor instead. Draco or his family were never equipped to handle him in the first place. And Harry could never resist his saving people thing.

505 (Remus/Sirius)

The Hanahaki Disease, it read, is a curse that would cause its victims to discharge flowers through their mouth in the presence and when thinking of someone they love romantically, and who they believe would never be able to return their feelings. While this curse may not seem harmful at first, if left untreated, the afflicted would be forced to give up their life to the curse due to blood loss and suffocation through how the vines wrap around the victims' heart. Sirius had known this since he was eleven, eagerly expecting Hogwarts. He just hadn’t expected Remus to consume his life so utterly.

In Dreams We Speak (Tom/Harry) (The Sandman Crossover) (The sandman and tomarry, two of my favourite things)

The story of how Harry dies in the hands of Voldemort have always been set in stone. He must either die, or come back to his own life, and make of that what he will. But this time, he gets another choice: to stay and rule with Tom Marvolo Riddle, the new Dream king, who would do anything within his grasp to have Harry by his side.

could we pretend (this won't end?)

For the Prompt: Set after Deathly Hallows, ignoring the epilogue, and with Regulus already out of Hogwarts: Regulus knows better than to mess with objects in Grimmauld Place, but he has been brewing over books on Horcruxes for hours and didn't pay attention. There's a lurch and a lot of dizziness, and suddenly Grimmauld Place looks like it hasn't seen a living person in decades. There is a boy of Regulus' age though, looking exactly as exhausted and done with the world as Regulus feels. Regulus survived the cave filled with Inferi. Sometimes - like when he's hurled through time into a future that is incredibly different from his own - he couldn't help but wish he didn't.

Ending Doesn't Sound (Like the Happiest Around) (Gen)

Harry dies in the Forbidden Forest. Now his soul is stuck; he is merely a ghost, having to watch as his friends and loved ones move on without him, living the lives he didn't get a chance to, and eventually, his name becoming but a distant memory.| Avada kedavra. It was ironic, wasn't it, that the last words he expected to hear had merely only been the beginning?

On my mind girl (like a drug) (Luna/Ginny, Harry/Draco)

Ginny didn't know when her feelings for Luna became entirely non-platonic. She supposed it had been coming all along, and she, in true Weasley fashion, hadn't realized until it was right in her face.

Summertime (Remus/Sirius)

Sirius remembered when he had first met Remus; this vulnerable and precious boy who had kept catching Sirius’s eyes like no one else. He had never felt the need to be someone’s someone - his parents’ influence, mainly - but he had felt it with such intensity at that moment; to be his friend, to be his best friend, to be his so much more, to be his everything. An interlude set between Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire.

at death's door (Gen)

There was a figure haunting Harry's every move. Somehow, he knows what it is.

A twist on the usual MOD! Harry fics.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

laughing till our ribs get tough (that will never be enough) - soulmate au (it’s mostly canon compliant this far, but it’s going to get more and more not in the next few chapters)

They didn't know what Soulmates were, at first. None of them knew; even Catra, who pretended she knew everything, couldn't contain her curiosity when Kyle woke up on his thirteenth birthday and gaped at Rogelio as if he had seen a ghost.Catra and Adora are Soulmates who can share their thoughts and feelings with each other. It goes as well as can be expected.

fallingforyou (sequel to the soulmate au - let's all pretend i have actually updated and haven't had a 1k draft for the next chapter on my google docs for years)

Catra didn't know how it became a thing, but she always woke up before Adora, nowadays. It might have happened somewhere between how Catra had continued staying at the Horde after she had willfully blocked their bond, and Adora had found some friends that weren't Catra and had finally learned to relax. No matter what the reason was, it still made one thing true; that Catra always, always woke up before Adora.

An interlude, after everything.

a love song for lost youth (prequel to the soulmate au)

Do you ever wonder what it's like? Adora asked after they had sat down, Catra sitting cross-legged on the floor while Adora sprawled down, paying no heed to where her arms and legs were. Catra just looked at her, for a moment, at the way Adora was staring up at the sky, a wistful expression on her face that made Catra want to take her face in her hands and whisper, I'm here, and it's okay. It was becoming increasingly harder for Catra to remain optimistic, and not wonder whether Adora would leave her behind.

This is a tie-in to my soulmate AU, but you don't have to read that to read this at all!

can we always be this close? (fake-dating au, with a surprising lack of focus on the fake-dating part)

Catra, surprisingly, had been the first one to suggest it. When Adora had complained about her mother who had been pressuring her about settling down and getting a proper boyfriend for Thanksgiving—even though Adora had told her that she was a lesbian multiple times, something in Catra had snapped. She had found herself suggesting going as Adora's date, knowing that other than Adora having a girlfriend, Adora with Catra as her girlfriend would be Adora's mother's worst fear personified. It was the perfect plan. Too bad it derailed fairly quickly.

honey, would you like to come with me? (just fluff tbh)

"You know I can see you staring at me, right?" Catra asked, and Adora was delighted to see a blush light up her dark face, knowing that she was the only one who could get under her skin like this, who knew her well enough, even after all— everything that had happened. Their fingers were still intertwined. Adora never wanted to let go.

They did it. They saved Etheria. And in the aftermath, Catra and Adora decide to live instead.

Death Note (all of these are L/Light)

Perfectly Numb (Major Character Death) (another one of my favourites!)

numb; deprive of feeling or responsiveness.

Ryuk had experienced countless dimensions before. This was the first time where L and Light never met.

it's not living if it's not with you (series) (i love soulmate aus, can you tell?)

Light Yagami was thirteen when it first happened. First, it was a slip of emotion–more of curiosity and wariness than anything else. The curiosity-only intensified when both realized what this foreign feeling was–their tentative soul bond, calling to each other. Where Light and L are soulmates who can share their thoughts and feelings with each other.

My Hero Academia (all of these are Katsuki/Izuku)

to make you bleed (only thing i wouldn't do) (series) (bkdk has a chokehold on me currently)

When Katsuki was little, he remembered listening to Izuku explaining the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. It was one of the days when Katsuki had decided he didn't want to deal with any other people, but he had still let Izuku tag along. He still remembered how Izuku had made daisy chains while explaining the story, clearly not understanding the point of the story in the first place, but unwilling to not impart any new knowledge he had gathered. "But it's so stupid," Katsuki had said, with all the brevity of a six year old. "Why would he want to look back?" Izuku had shrugged, and settled the daisy chain on his head. Katsuki had allowed it, just this once. The look on Izuku's face when he had been allowed—surprise, delight, and fondness—had made him look away with a small "tch." At six, that was as close as he had come to understanding why.(Ten years later, he understood it much more.) The Ground Beta fight goes a bit differently. Katsuki grapples with his feelings as a result.

there's a supercut of us (MCD) (I finished reading the manga and wrote this is an hour. enough said.)

"He was so driven -” To the point that it killed him, Izuku thought, but didn't say aloud, angrily swiping back the tears that came, unbidden, to his eyes. And this was new, the anger that lurked around the edges of his heart, the urge to rage and thrash at a world that was cruel enough to let a sixteen-year-old die. “I just - I just wish we had more time. It was hard, to let go.

i wanna be yours (just straight up smut)

Katsuki couldn't help the moan that escaped his lips at that, involuntarily jerking his hips against Deku's. Deku pulled back, his eyes filled with lust and mischief. "We could always reheat it later," he said, the absolute fucking bastard. "Unless you want to stop?

MCU

if it's torn (we can stitch it up) (Artemis Fowl II/Tony) (Artemis Fowl Crossover) (i also... need to update this)

Tony and Artemis had been best friends from the minute they had met each other in a fundraising event when they were both 18. It shouldn't come as a surprise that this changed the events that were supposed to be set in stone; that Tony, really and truly, had some people who he could rely on no matter what happened, even if they weren't entirely human.

Nights were as dark as my baby (Tony/Loki)

When Tony stumbled into his favorite cafe blearily in the morning, the last thing he expected was to find a trickster god sitting in his usual place. The ensuing conversation wouldn't be the last thing he expected, but wasn't among the top either.

#masterpost #finally got round to doing this after it's been in my drafts for literal years #the way that i would probably need to update this after i post more fics in like a month #oh well at least its done #harry potter #drarry #my fics #good omens #bnha #catradora #bakudeku #she ra #tomarry #artemis fowl #death note #lawlight #frostiron #very long post

Time To Let Go

Masterlist

author note: fewer tears this time around 😅 might do a part two if enough people want it.

Poly!Marauders x fem!slytherin!reader (reader doesn't have a specified race, but she isn't fair skinned)

word count: 960

warning(s): smut, clit stimulation, titty sucking, fingering, miscommunication trope?, angst, like one curse word i think

I honestly knew this day was coming. I knew it from the moment I first met Lily. Fair skin, green eyes, red hair, perfect. She’s so incredibly kind. How could you not like her? The boys really do. They don’t think I’ve noticed, but I have. It’s been like this for 4 months.

My parents would never have approved of them. My whole bloodline is Slytherin and that’s how I was told it would stay and here I go falling for a few goofy Gryffindors.

Remus went with Sirius and James to quidditch practice, so I felt like this would be the perfect time to come get my stuff from their room.

My heart clenches when I walk into the empty room. A room I didn’t think I’d have to say goodbye to until we all graduated yet here I am, 2 years premature, leaving.

During our honeymoon phase the boys were beyond obsessed with me. So obsessed that they hated being without me, so whenever I would come over I’d leave a piece of clothing for each of them for whenever our schedules didn’t collide.

I go to Sirius’ bed first. His trunk is pretty full, but I’m able to find my stuff pretty quickly. I let him have my sweater that I bought just because. It’s his favorite color and he claims it heavily smells like me. It was worth the sacrifice to see the smile on his face.

Every memory playing in front of my eyes like a movie. How he used to hold me in his arms after a long day. How he would lay in my lap reading mystery novels that he said was oh so boring but begged me to skip doing homework to continue reading. How he would hold my arms behind my back while Remus lazily rubbed my clit, so I don’t move during my punishment for being bratty throughout the day. How he would whisper in my ear, degrading me for being a spoiled brat and how if it was up to him, he wouldn’t touch me at all. He’d use my throat and fuck it until I couldn’t speak.

Next is James. He always loved my green jumper. Sleeps with it every night. I go to look for it under his pillow and sure enough it’s there. I wonder if he even remembers it’s there. I hold it up to my nose and hug it. It doesn’t even smell like me anymore. It’s pure James.

I remember how whenever I first wore it around him he said it complimented my skin tone. He then proceeded to grab the middle of it and pull me towards him. Moments later it was pulled over my tits while his face replaced where my bra once was. It became a routine that whenever it was just us we would lay in his bed and his mouth would suck on my nipples for hours. He would every so often look up at me with a dreamy look in his eyes which in turn would send a feeling right down to my pussy and I would get more wet with every pull and every look.

Lastly is Remus. I actually didn’t give him any clothing. I gave him my charm bracelet and in exchange I got his ring. Neither of them anything special, but it reminded us of each other.

Whenever all of us would be intimate and I wasn’t being punished, Rem would sit behind me rubbing my thighs to calm the shaking from Sirius overstimulating my clit while slowly thrusting his fingers in, but not showing any sign of letting up any time soon. The feeling of the bracelet caress my skin sending a shiver down my spine.

I look at the ring on my finger for a minute before finally taking it off and placing it in the middle of his bed.

Once I get to the door, I look around one last time. My heart feels heavy and so do my arms from holding the jacket and jumper. I feel a sob creeping up my throat, so I turn around and walk out their door for the last time.

James POV

“Do you think she’ll like it Lils?” I ask Lily.

“Look, all I’m saying is that if she doesn’t accept your guys’ promise ring then I will. I wish I had a boyfriend like you guys.”

“Sorry, but I don’t think anyone can be as good as us.” Sirius says.

We say our last goodbyes to her and head to the common room. I can’t wait to see her face in a few days after our anniversary picnic that we have planned for her. I’m so glad Lily was willing to help us find this ring. Coming up with ideas was probably the hardest thing we had ever done.

Sirius and I come to the door to see it open. We look at each other with our brows furrowed, but continue to walk in.

Remus is just standing by his bed holding what seems like a ring.

“You good Moony?”

He shakes his head no and looks up at us.

“She’s gone.”

“Who’s gone?”

“Y/n. She returned my ring.”

I run over to my bed and find her jumper gone. No. No. Why would she leave? I feel the tears in my eyes threaten to spill

I turn to see Sirius throwing things out of his trunk. Clothes and school supplies flying everywhere.

“She took her sweater back. I don’t understand. I just don’t understand. What did we do?”

I see tears in his eyes as well.

“No. I refuse. We’re going to go find her. Now.” Sirius says before starting towards the door. Remus and I quickly fell in step with him.

Saudade 𐂂 J.P

Summary: James Potter realized he spent years chasing after the wrong girl. But is it too late to finally tell you how he feels?

Pairings: James Potter x Reader, James Potter x Lily Evans, Sirius Black x Reader

Content: Jealousy, pining, unrequited love, brief mentions of NSFW, NOTHING EXPLICIT, angst, no spell check, first fic ever!

The Gryffindor common room was in full swing as soon as the sun set. They had just won the last match of the year against Slytherin. With the rivalry between the two houses, well amongst all of the houses viruses Slytherin, the celebration was inclusive. Students second year and up from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were asked to celebrate alongside the red and gold. It was a petty move, disrespectful at most. Nonetheless, the party was vibrant and was nowhere close to ending.

In the corner leaning against the wall closest to the drinks, James was already on his third glass of firewhiskey, chatting away quietly with Sirius alongside a couple of other Gryffindors on the quidditch team, planning out the next years team. Out of the corner of his eyes, James sees the entrance to the common room open. Curious to who would come to the party this late, he extends his neck only to see you enter the room, hands filled with small wrapped gifts and dressed in a short yet casual dress. Turning to talk to Lily, James' eyes never wavered, even with the presence of fiery-red hair.

It was shocking to him, he didn't expect you to come, you weren't known to party until he remembered that you were dating Sirius who joined the quidditch team this year. Of course, you would come to congratulate him.

You and James were first introduced by Remus. You and Remus had rather an academic friendship at first until she had stumbled upon him in the hospital wing after a nasty full moon. Soon afterwards, a beautiful friendship bloomed that rivalled his friendship with the Marauders until Sirius, James, and Peter forced him to introduce you to them.

In all honesty, James had not paid you attention when you two were first introduced. He admitted, you were pretty, smart, and had a fun personality. That was rare, indeed rare when someone had the full package but nobody could compare to his hyper fixation on the so-called love of his life, his Lily-Pad, the girl of his dreams. But that was two years ago and over time, the constant rejection from Lily had caused James to lose confidence. The chase was no longer fun, her irritated attitude towards him had worn him down. However, James continued to engage in the push and pull with Lily. It was mostly out of habit and his hard work finally paid off. It seemed like a waste to not at least pursue a relationship with Lily.

But within those two years, James fell out of love with Lily and instead fell in love with you. Instead of being shut down for telling a joke, you laughed and encouraged him to continue. Never had you tried to change him, to be quieter or less annoying. You simply let him be who he was and enjoyed his company. It was quite a drastic change from Lily to you and he couldn't pinpoint when he decided to choose you. Maybe when he started to look for you in the great hall rather than Lily or decided to ask you for help. But he did know he fully realized he had fallen for you when he didn't smell lilies, old books and Lily's perfume in the Amortentia Slughorn brewed but instead smelled coffee grounds, the rain and your perfume. You always smelled of coffee, rain and the sweet sugary smell of your perfume he had bought you for Christmas.

Days, weeks, months and then years went by and James Potter still couldn't bring himself to tell her how he felt. If anything, it felt as if his heart was pressed against a microphone, booming with every rapid beat.

But if he was honest, the familiar pain of unrequited love settled in his heart. The once unrequited love he received from Lily was nowhere close to the pain he felt for her.

What made it harder was that he would never be able to express it to her as James snapped out of his daze to feel Sirius leaving his side and made a beeline to her. He saw how his best friend's eyes light up when she smiled back at him. How the light twinkled back in her eyes when she smiled back.

"I never thought in a million years it would be her," a raspy voice says beside him. Remus had replaced Sirius' spot and he grabbed a red solo cup on the table beside them, leaning against the same wall as James.

With a forced chuckle, James let out a breathy laugh. "Yeah, we always thought it would be you pal."

A loud groan comes from Remus' mouth, "Would you stop with that, Prongs! She's practically my sister you prat!"

Never once did his eyes leave her until Sirius leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. Gazing downwards, James took a sip of the burning whisky and closed his eyes. He felt his heart crack all over again and felt the painful sensation to cry build up. A beat passes again, Remus was starting to become worried about the change in his friend's behaviour. Deciding to break the silence, he turned back to the couple and spoke again."You know, I think she's the one."

James swore he felt his heart crack as he opened his eyes and stared back at his friend, frowning. Even if he wanted, and he very much wanted to, he could never choose his happiness over Sirius.

Never over Sirius' happiness. Not after what he's been through, not after when his family abused him, broke him down and disowned him. Not after all the times Sirius had been there for James. Not when he considered him family.

But it was also undeniable their spark, even James couldn't deny it. Dropping his head, he rotated his red cup to stare at the amber liquid. Instead of the bright contrast of the red reminding him of Lily, the deep comforting golden brown reminded him of you. Another nudge from Remus had James quickly looking up.

"James! Remus!" you greeted, quickly pulling Remus then James into a hug. He took a moment before handing his drink to Remus to fully wrap his arms around her waist, basking in her warmth and the smell of her hair.

Having been friends and having feelings for James for so long never served you any good. You would always be second to Lily and everyone knew that except you and James."Look at you! At a party? Whew, finally came out of a cave, eh?" he said when you pulled away, eyes glazed over and jaw clenched.

"Hardy har, Prongs. I had too and I wouldn't have missed it," you smiled, slightly turning back to look at Remus now talking to Sirius across the room. "You think I would miss yours and Sirius's last quidditch game... ever! If so, my, my, my Fleamont! You really are that daft then, aren't you?"A smile appeared on both of their faces before a gut-wrenching had both of them laughing before James glanced down at her hands. It was a small wooden box painting in both red and gold with a bow on top. Pointing to it he asked, "Who's that for? Sirius?"

"No actually, I gave him a gift earlier. This - this is for you," she said in a shaky, quiet voice. Reaching for his hand, you pulled it towards your body, turning it over to see the palm of his hand. As you placed the box into his hand, James' body felt electric, going into overdrive from your touches. "This better not be some prank you and Sirius are pulling on me," he said, starting to get a little nervous.

"No, seriously. Open it."

As he unlatched the small hinge on the box, the inside was furnished with soft red velvet. In the middle sat a golden ring with the word 'Saudade' engraved inside the band.

"Saudade?" he asked, still looking down at the ring.

It was your time to glance down. Avoiding the question, she asked, "So do you like it?" Panic started to arise when he didn't respond. Perhaps he didn't like it?

Repeating, "James, do you like-." As she continued to stare at James, she saw teardrops falling onto the soft velvet. "James, oh my god I'm sorry I didn't think-"

"I love it." Finally looking to see her face, he gives a weak smile, snuffling. He takes his hand to wipe his face and pulls her back into a hug. "Thank you, I l-love y-." He pauses before starting again, " I love it so much."

"I got it made about a week ago. It was the last game you were going to play so I thought I should get you something special. To remember it."

Pulling back to look him in the face, she smiles again and reaches up to ruffle his hair. "I'm glad you like it, James." His heart soared at the mention of his name before finally breaking apart. Sirius strides over, arms wrapping around her waist before tucking her head under his chin.

"Wow, Prongs, buddy, you alright?" Weakly nodding, he smiles back at him.

"Damn, you broke him didn't you, love? Trying to steal my spot as best friend huh?"

The three giggle before Sirius once again whispers in her ear and James returns to his spot leaning against the wall watching heat rush to both of his best friends' faces. Unable to continue to look, he looks in the opposite direction where he spots Lily and Remus. Lily was chatting away excitedly to him, presumably about life after Hogwarts, but Remus was already staring back. A look of recognition finally rushed through him. He was too observant for his own good. As Remus stepped forward, James' attention turned back to the couple in front.

"Hey Prongs, we have to go. We'll see you tomorrow."

Bidding their goodbyes quickly, you and Sirius both leave, hands wrapped together as you both head up the towers leading to the dorm rooms.

In his daze, Lily touches his arm, peering at him through her eyelashes. She begins to talk, choosing to hold his arm and lean her head against his shoulder. James tries his hardest to focus on her words but the cracking of his heart is louder.

Thump. Tha-Thump. Thump. Tha-Thump. Thump. It won't slow down.

Thump. Tha-Thump. Thump. Tha-Thump. Thump. It's becoming dangerously loud.

He looks back at Remus, a smile of pity gracing his lips.

Thump. Tha-Thump. Thump. Tha-Thump. Thump

That very night, after James and Lily had made love for the very first time. As Lily was fast asleep on his chest, James slowly detached himself from the red-head and crept out of her bed, snuck out into the shrieking shack and cried. He cried for hours until the sun raised. He yelled, he broke items in the worn-down house, until he was too tired to move. He felt disgusting and guilt riddled every bone in his body. He had never felt emotional pain similar to this. The pain was inexplicable, pretending to have never loved you and Lily instead. The anguish of having to see his best friend love you instead. The grief he felt when he found out Sirius was planning to propose, and the unbearable discomfort he felt when he was asked to be his best man. The agony he felt as he put on his most expensive suit with Lily by his side. The hurt he felt when he saw your beautiful face walk down the aisle, eyes never once leaving Sirius. The despondency he felt when he had to give a speech about how you and Sirius were made for each other.

And as James watched the love of his life and best friend have their first dance as husband and wife, he never felt as hopeless as he did in that very moment. With the wrong woman by his side, a golden ring strung onto a chain underneath his suit shined bright, close to his heart.

Saudade

The nostalgic yearning to be near something or someone again that is distant or has been loved and then lost. It also means that an object or person of longing that might never be had again. Some refer to the word as "the love that remains."

🌗congrats on 800 followers!! could I have a blurb -angst prompt 24 please?

her maroon lipstick

sirius black x fem!reader

summary: sirius looked at everyone but you

word count: 1.1k

warnings: cheating, hinted wolfstar, blackinnon bc that deserves a warning, unrequited love, kissing, swearing, mentions of drugs and alcohol, angst, self doubt, insecurity, mentions of sex

a/n: if u couldnt tell inwas feeling mean today and isa told me to break her heart so: *que jazz hands*

you loved sirius black— maybe even adored the boy, but you knew you probably loved him a little bit too much. he loved you as well, he at-least told you he loved you, and you didn’t want to presume he was a liar. he had always looked at you, your looks, your body, your face but he never had truly seen you; your soul, your essence, you’re entire being.

he was always gazing at someone else entirely, you didn’t wanna know it, or see it, but you did. it didn’t matter who he was looking at but it definitely wasn’t you. wether it was his lycanthrope of a bestfriend, or the local gryffindor beater marlene fucking mckinnon, they weren’t you.

throughly the same frequent sentences were pushed into the back of your mind with the same coherent words, ‘it’s fine, they’re just hanging out.’ or ‘it’s nothing, don’t worry about it.’ but those were simply just your excuses for him.

that night before a quidditch game you had been blown off, yet a-fucking-gain. you truly weren’t surprised, you expected his neglect. but the feeling of dejection truly lingered through every nerve in your bloodstream. you weren’t the number one in his life; you were a backup, a second option, or your personal least favourite.... just not enough.

because marlene, was more important. he had to go study with her— i mean since when does sirius fucking study? he simply doesn’t, he doesn’t study, and he doesn’t fucking care. but still reminding yourself, ‘it’s fine, they’re just going over stuff.’ i mean even james and peter had perceived something you were unaware of.

a day later, a gryffindor win— against slytherins of course, a significant calling for celebration. unconcerned you threw on a simple outfit, nothing too fancy, school was overrated as it is and a mini-league quidditch game certainly didn’t deserve a special outfit no matter how many times your friends detested to your statements. as soon as the game had ended, the raven-haired males eyes didn’t search for you rather a tall brunette with pearly white teeth and dark maroon lipstick.

sirius of course had his troublesome past, you knew of his family, and his sexual-run arounds that went to hogwarts. it wasn’t a shock to you, you had just denied yourself to be one of his easy people. but to your pure-promised heart, you didn’t just become one of them you became the one. not to love, but simply to fuck.

you were just company when nobody else could be, and even though you swore not too; you let yourself because you fell for him, or maybe it was his mask of flirty gestures and lingering kisses.

you made your way to the gryffindor tower, the hallways dead silent to the point where you could hear the drop of a pin or the swish of someone’s hair. the seventh years succeeding in performing a muffling charm that barred any supervisor from suspicion of a party.

as soon as the portrait whole swung at your mumble of the password you were met with immense clamour and uproar from all the celebrating students. the potent smell of marijuana and fire whisky hitting your nose, immediately scowling at the first whiff of the aroma.

couples had been scattered and sprawled across the deep-vermillion coloured couches. all noise drowned out by the deafening amount of rock music, picked by sirius no doubt.

you knew in the nook and crannies of your mind you should’ve scrabbled this together, it should of been suspected, or rather even bound to occur. but nobody should ever expect to see their boyfriend drunkenly making out with another woman, ever.

you didn’t want to cry, or look weak, i mean you felt ashamed. we’re you not good enough? we’re you had to him? did you not check up on him enough? but maybe it wasn’t on you— maybe it was on him.

maybe he was the one who fucked up— he didn’t treat you good enough. he didn’t spend enough time with you. all in that moment you felt— was the burning bitch of an emotion, rage. pure and simple rage.

you felt the thump and click in your feet as you belligerently marched over to the kissing bunch, his arms taking a harsh grip at her waist and the aroma of alcohol abundantly clear as you got closer.

you jabbed a few times on his shoulder, the rustled leather familiar underneath the pad of your pointer finger. the boy pulled away with a drunken-grimace, prepared to shout at anyone who had interrupted him until he saw it; your face filled with abundant anger.

oh shit— you had caught him right in the act.

“y/n, listen—“ the boy started before your eyebrows had creased in immense frustration and anger of his foolish excuses. choosing to ultimately speak first and think later.

“no, you listen sirius! you’ve treated me like absolute shit, like i’m the last fucking option in your palm— like i’m not your girlfriend that you have confided in, and kissed, and fucking slept with! i really don’t know who you think you are, but you can’t walk around acting like you own the place when you can’t get one damn thought straight. so you can’t come to me as a last option anymore, you can go stick your player bullshit right your own damn arse!” your voice was heaving in such anger of him, finally opting to pick yourself— not to be a second choice, not anymore.

after your monologue built over months and months of culpability for feeling like you couldn’t never be enough for him, and irritability that he had never truly cared was full forced in one speech cutting him off for good.

you quickly spun around the mahogany floor, striding directly out of the red and gold common room; you heard the quick pad of footsteps behind you whilst walking in the hallway, swivelling around again seeing your befuddled and tipsy ex-boyfriend try and catch up with your exasperated steps.

a deep shade of maroon smudged down the curvature of his lips and the planes of his olive-toned chin, yeah, fuck you sirius.

“now what the absolute fuck do you want now?” you whisper-shouted in the midst of the hallway, trying not to alert the attention of filch or professor mcgonagall.

“i love you, y/n, please—“ the boy attempted to plead in the midst of his sentence and deeply failing whilst slurring his words, the alcohol abstinently pining through his nervous system showcasing his bleary vision through his viewpoint; venturing for your forgiveness, but your decision had been made the moment he was caught locking lips with the gryffindor beater.

“tell me that when you’re sober.”

Birthday [S.B]

Sirius Black x Slytherin!reader

PART 2

Word count: 6k (sorry if it's too long, I don't know what happened 😳)

Warnings: Hogwarts here is more like a university, therefore in their first year everyone is (definitely) over 11 years old. This isn’t intended to be temporarily correct or within canon, it is for entertainment only.

Another thing (and I hope it doesn't cause me problems) in this household we are anti-snape, (and I respect people who are not) but for this one case I'll make him look like someone… well, a better person than he really is. The same goes for some characters as in the canon if they are very rude. Also let's assume that they are all the same age, although I know that some (like Narcissa and Reg) are much younger I wanted to reverse the roles a bit and I loved the result, it's something a little different but I hope you like it.

I repeat, this is temporarily not correct in any sense but it is the only way it would work.

I saw the original idea in a Tiktok video that belongs to user "x.cotaa", who I asked for permission to use the idea.

A/N: I feel like it lacked a bit, but I really wanted to do it and it is the longest I have written in my LIFE. I really hope you like it, there is not much romance but I think it is not necessary.

(and sorry for any mistakes, I really tried to check everything several times but I haven't slept well and my brain doesn't work the same. If you notice something send a message to correct it)

You walked through the corridors quite restless, from finally being able to reach the building where the Gryffindor dormitories were located. You had spent all morning and part of the afternoon waiting to see them, but you thought that maybe they were organizing something for such a special date.

You didn't have your birthday every day, right?

From a young age the 'marauders', as they called themselves now, and you had been good friends. And how could they not be? You had been a neighbor of the Blacks for years. Your family, liberal purebloods who rubbed shoulders with the most influential and millionaire families in the wizarding world, had bought a muggle-looking house on Grimmauld place 13, and thanks to that you had met the nice (sarcasm) Black family. The grown-ups might not have much appreciation for you, but as soon as you met the Black brothers you became friends. They were very friendly and funny, so they would sneak out to play with you whenever they could. You had a lot of affection for both of them, sure, but a little more for him.

You grew up seeing Regulus Black as a kind of little brother and he saw in you a best friend. You protected him from everything, along with his brother Sirius. But Sirius on the other hand, you grew up seeing him as anything but a brother. To be honest and blunt, you were madly in love with him.

Since you saw him the first day, with that flirtatious smile and his trusting attitude, you fell in love. At first, you thought that maybe it was because you did not know any child and that is why you blushed every time you saw him, or your heart would race when you touched each other by accident, things like that. But as you got older you reflected that that had never happened with Regulus (who was another boy you were very attached to) and you realized that it was only Sirius.

The three of you grew up together, the Blacks ended up accepting your family and therefore attended the same school. That's where you met James, Remus, Peter, Lily, and many others of your dear (and not so dear) companions. You had a solid friendship with all of them and Regulus seemed to go his own way with different friends than his brother. But that did not mean the breakdown of his friendship, on the contrary, he always sought to include you in the talks that you managed to share with his companions and you ended up winning the affection of most of them.

When all were older, conscious to make their own decisions, the group was divided into two camps. Not that they ‘hated’ but both of them started to have some disagreements of ideas and you became the only link between them. It was true that Bellatrix (for example) was somewhat rude or joking with the marauders and there Severus, Lucius, Barty, and Narcissa joined her (just to name a few) but they never went further. They had a little respect for them because they knew that you and Regulus would never forgive them for hurting them.

Thus a childish rivalry was created between the two gangs that once you entered ‘Hogwarts University of Witchcraft and Wizardry’ only intensified. Upon entering, they were cataloged into the different houses, as expected, and what a surprise they were when both groups were separated into the houses that hated each other the most. You felt between a rock and a hard place when they put the sorting hat on you because you wanted to go with Sirius to Gryffindor but you also loved the company of your Slytherin friends too much, in addition to having Regulus there.

Finally, the hat gave its verdict and the word "Slytherin!" echoed throughout the room. The snakes received you with cheers and for a moment you felt very happy to be there because your parents had no prejudices towards the houses and you knew that they would be happy for the news. But when you looked up at the lion table, you noticed the disapproving looks everyone was giving you. Even Sirius was looking at you, but not disapprovingly but hurt.

You did not understand why they had not been happy for you, because after all being in different houses did not mean that their friendship of years would end.

Or so you thought.

"James!" you yelled to get his attention. He was hugging Lily Evans by the shoulders and was in the company of the others. They always reminded you of the real lions, traveling in herds everywhere "By Merlin, I finally find you" you said a little agitated, but with a huge smile. You looked at Sirius for a few seconds and immediately blushed, as he looked more handsome than usual.

"Y/N, hi," said James, a little confused "What's going on?"

"What's going on?" you repeated amused, looking at them all "I'm here for you to congratulate me, duh" you laughed, but they didn't seem funny.

"The Slytherin went to your head a lot, didn't it?" Peter said with a snort, causing James to stifle a laugh.

"Yeah, being the best in Transfiguration class isn't such a big deal," he murmured and you almost thought he was pissed off. You didn't know what you had done to make them so angry (as they were with you lately) but you still didn't give up.

"Uh, no, I was talking about... you know, today's special date," you said, still excited "Do you want us to go out somewhere?" you asked shyly. Suddenly you felt weird like you didn't fit in with them.

"Special date?" Lily asked, trying to understand what was going on. You saw Remus lift his finger to ask for the floor and at the same time you opened your mouth to say something else, but you were interrupted by a velvety voice calling you from behind.

"Y/N! I finally found you,” Regulus said. He was just as agitated as you when he arrived and his emerald tie was elegantly tied around his neck. "You're very slippery, did they tell you?" he murmured amused, while he hugged you and left a kiss on your cheek. He looked at the opponents with a tight-lipped smile, as he was also suffering from the sudden change in mood that everyone seemed to have towards you "Am I interrupting something?"

"Nothing, we were leaving," said Lily. You held your breath at her coldness.

"Well..." he started to say, ignoring your friends a bit "So since I'm a terrible, really terrible person keeping secrets and I'm dying of emotion, you have to pretend to be surprised when I take you to our building and maybe there are some decorations of a party out there that maybe the others and I organized for you, right?" he said, with that huge smile that he put on when something excited him.

"A party?" Sirius said, getting a little ahead of where he was. He hadn't spoken since you arrived and now he looked confused "Why, Reg?"

“Are you really asking me why silly? It's her birthday!" Regulus said raising his voice in scolding. Everyone paled and some blushed in embarrassment. Among them Sirius.

All the joy that had invaded you by the boy's confession left you because you thought that their indifference from the beginning had been due to the fact that they were also involved in that surprise.

"Did you forget it?" you said with a small voice. You were really excited to spend your birthday in the company of your friends and seeing that none of them remembered it was a hit to the heart. When you saw that no one said anything, you stifled a bitter laugh. "You forgot," you sentenced.

"It's not what it seems," Sirius said, trying to find a good excuse.

"That's what I thought at first," you murmured, a little hurt. If they had you in the concept of a poisonous snake then you would be “But I'm sick of you I thought that being in different houses would not represent any inconvenience, I even ignored the horrible faces you made when they announced me in Slytherin because I thought you were sad. And then I was convinced that the distance that was appearing between you and me was normal because we only shared a couple of classes and I also let it pass. I let it pass for you to make offensive comments towards my house and justify yourself saying a simple Oh, we forgot you were here. But it's a joke, nothing personal” you blurted out. Suddenly some seemed really embarrassed, but James not as much as the others “And I even laughed at them, you know? Because I thought that if I laughed you wouldn't realize that it affected me when you talked about me like that. You stopped including me in your friends' outings and there were days when I only saw you in class, but I didn't care either, I was happy to see my friends” you murmured. Regulus walked over to you and held your arm gently. Everything you were saying you had already discussed with him and it hurt him to see you so hurt because of the Gryffindors in front of you "And today, I thought that I could finally be with you properly. I know they were busy all day and when they didn't look for me, I decided to come myself, hoping you were planning a surprise like the ones you always did. I even thought you were very concerned about the upcoming exams and I understood you, but none of you remembered. Not even you, Sirius” you expressed. You weren't upset about others, you could spend your whole life without them, but who you were most disappointed with was him"You've been celebrating my birthday for more than ten years, or did you forget that too?" you muttered, approaching him and speaking close to his face, now in a more personal way "We even have that stupid tradition that I thought was important to you, on each of my birthdays, did you forget too?" you said softly, in that tone that Sirius always used to hurt his chest with. He never thought you would use it on him “But I get it, I really mean it. So I guess that's how things will be from now on."

"As well as?" James said defensively “You being full-time in the snake's nest? I thought you already did"

"Do you see what I'm talking about?!" you muttered raising your voice and drawing the attention of those who passed by “You talk about me as if he were a movie villain. Not all of us are bad and because you have that stupid superiority complex does not mean that we are shit" you said facing it "And you know what? It makes me very happy. It makes me happy to see that none of you are defending me and that you are not even trying to justify yourself anymore. Because if this…” you roughly took the piece of cloth that was around your neck, showing it to everyone “… stupid tie can separate us like this, then I guess they weren't really my friends, right?” you spoke, looking at everyone with anger injected into your eyes. When you stopped at Sirius, you just clenched your jaw further. "You're bloody prejudiced shit and you don't realize that the real bad guys here are you. Just for being in the most popular fucking house and everyone's favorite you feel that the rest of us have to pay tribute to you” you spat. From your robe you took out a packet of beans and threw it at Sirius in anger "I bought it for you, enjoy" you spoke ironically, with a totally false smile.

Sirius looked at the sweets in his hands and felt like the most guilty person in the world. His housemates' environment had made him begin to believe that you and his brother were really the monsters everyone said. He remembered when you were little and every birthday you ate those beans as long as some horrible tasting came out. There was nothing interesting, it was just sitting across from each other, watching each other eat sweets and laugh. But it was yours, it was special and you did it every year. You were even on the verge of kissing him once, if it hadn't been for the laughter you let out at that vomit-flavored bean that Sirius spat out you would have done it.

Sirius always hated the way his family displaced him because of his ideas and even more so now that he was in the lion's house. But it was only then that he realized that he was doing just the same to you.

When you started walking you felt a hand stop and a part of you yearned for it to be Sirius.

"I'm sorry, Y/N" spoke Remus, who was the most decent of all "I... I did know it was your birthday" he murmured and everyone turned to see him, incredulous. The boy with the scars handed you a candy bar with a note. You smiled bitterly and took it carefully.

"I must exclude you, Moony," you said with a small smile "you have always been the same sweet boy" you confessed and you caressed his cheek for a few moments. Sirius was jealous of the touch you gave the young man and clenched his fists under his robe.

But hey, he thought suddenly, he had forgotten the most important date for you and you are supposed to have known each other for as long as he can remember. Luckily he wasn't with a bleeding nose.

Without deigning to say anything else, you turned in the opposite direction and began to walk, feeling that uncomfortable tightness in your chest.

"You really are a ball of hypocrites," Regulus said, directing his heaviest gaze to his brother's friends.

"Go with your girlfriend, Black," Peter spat and he restrained himself from putting his fist in his face.

"Don't mess with her or I'm going to erase this smug smile, do you understand?" he threatened him. The difference in height between the two was considerable. "I'm not going to let you hurt her anymore, she's like a sister to me" he spoke and his gaze went to Sirius. He was still in shock from what had just happened, but that didn't stop him from noticing the way his younger brother was watching him “This time you outdid yourself, Sirius. Try to screw it up more, maybe you can do it," he murmured, putting on the same fake smile that you had given him.

Regulus rolled his eyes at the silence of everyone and went after you, trying to reach you so he could make you feel a little better before entering the surprise party they had organized for you.

There was an awkward silence between them, which James broke with a laugh.

"What idiocy," he said nonchalantly, watching you go down the hall.

"Why didn't you remind me that today was his birthday, Remus Lupin?" Sirius asked his friend, quite hurt.

"I thought you knew. After all, you are supposed to be one of her best friends, right? " he murmured, tightening his lips. Sirius sighed in frustration and ran his hand through his hair.

“Okay, Pads, relax. She will forget it soon..."

"Do you want to shut up, James?" Sirius said, on the verge of collapse "I just hurt the girl I love the most in this life, and do you think the matter will be fixed just by letting it go? We are idiots, everything she said is true. Have you already forgotten that she was also your friend?" he asked, annoyed at the indifference of James, Peter, and Lily respectively.

"Sirius she decided to be with them. She has new friends now, we have proof with this"

“She is with them because we turned our back on her! Her housemates remembered her birthday, they threw her a party, they love her, support her and protect her as we are supposed to do"

"Speaks for you," Peter pleaded, also defensively. "She has never done anything for me, I don't owe her anything"

"I thought that if you were my friends then you would care about the people who also matter to me, but maybe she is right and we are just idiots"

"She wants to make you think that, Sirius" spoke Lily, again "For years she has been this sarcastic and ironic, and being in Slytherin is only going to polish her character. How long do you think it will take for her to become like all those blood supremacists? "

"Like Severus Snape, your best friend?" he said defensively, raising an eyebrow at Lily.

“You guys hate Snape, you've always said and made fun of him. I don't understand what the question is about” she murmured, rolling her eyes and fleeing from Sirius's gaze. “And he's not my best friend anymore. You know it"

And Sirius reflected until he realized that it was true. In retrospect, he and his group of friends had been jerks when they let themselves be carried away by those stupid prejudices that surrounded the house you belonged to, which could mean the end of their friendship. Was he really afraid that you would become all that a Slytherin could be or was he just still hurt by how you preferred his brother to him?

Because yes, the root of all the problems had simply been that he had felt betrayed by you (although you clearly had no power over the sorting hat) by being in opposing houses. Being with you at the university had excited him a lot and apparently, he was a wound that he had not finished healing. But you weren't to blame for anything, it was bullshit to condemn you for who you were. Because instead of judging you he must have accepted you and loved you like he had for so many years.

And now he had to run after you if he didn't want to lose you.

"Where are you going, Sirius?" Remus yelled, seeing his friend walking urgently down the hall. Sirius didn't answer and looked down the hall for you, to no avail. He cursed under his breath as he began to run, his backpack hitting his side repeatedly. There was an enormous distance between the Slytherin building and where he was unless he took one of the secret passages where only the students of that house could pass.

He swore again and ran his hand through his hair, desperate for a solution. The only thing he could do was run.

Arms holding your shoulders forced you to stop in the middle of the passage you had taken, very close to the entrance to your common room.

"Hey, hey, take it easy" Regulus spoke, pulling you to his chest to hug you. You didn't like crying, but you had started to hyperventilate from all the anger that was building up inside you.

"I hate him!" you said and your voice was muffled by his robes "I hate Sirius, he's the biggest idiot in the whole world" you complained, feeling a lump in your throat.

Regulus was the one who knew all the details of your love for Sirius. He sometimes put up with you talking for hours about how much you liked his brother, he helped you with your failed attempts at conquest and was always the best adviser. Also, by default, he had to comfort you when you both fought.

"Ignore him, pumpkin" he murmured over your head, resting his chin on your hair and hugging you carefully.

"How could he forget my birthday?" you asked angrily. Actually, it didn't bother you that he hadn't congratulated you, it could happen to anyone. But his attitude, so indifferent, was what made you furious. "He's so different lately, I feel like we get further and further away every day," you sobbed. Regulus took you by the shoulders and pulled you apart for you to look at.

"That guy over there who claims to be my brother is a jerk and I don't want to see you like that for him on your birthday, okay?" she said seriously "You have been in love with him for years and sorry that I am the one to tell you, but I have never seen a response from him and frankly I do not feel that he deserves everything you give him" he expressed sincerely. I knew it could break your heart saying that, but I'd rather do it than keep you giving all your love to a boy who had a brain the size of a peanut to understand your signals. "And now you're like this, on the verge of crying on your birthday for that fool and his friends. You're supposed to be happy, pretty. All my friends and I really love you and we did this to make you feel good and I would not like to see you sad” he murmured, raising his hands to your cheeks and gently holding your face “Maybe we are not the people you expected, but if you let us we can make you happy too,” he expressed honestly. You knew that Regulus would never think of you with a love beyond what he was showing you now, a brotherly love and that he cared so much about your happiness made you want to cry

You were quiet for a long, but really long time that helped you calm down and then he spoke again

“But if you don't feel well, just tell me and we can cancel everything, without any problem"

"Are you crazy?" you interrupted it. You were hurt, very hurt, but you wouldn't let those Gryffindors ruin your day. You couldn't even cry, nor did you want to. The abandonment of him had come so gradually that you ended up convincing yourself that it was inevitable and if you didn't think much about it you knew you could get over it. "Are you saying that grumpy Severus agreed to throw a party for me? How could I reject that?" you joked and Regulus finally smiled.

"I can confess, without you telling anyone, that he was very excited"

"Really?" you spoke, opening your eyes in surprise "That is something worth seeing"

Reg nodded gently and smiled.

"Are you sure you are alright?"

"I'm not," you said with a grimace. You let out a sad sigh and hugged yourself, feeling the pain still installed in your chest “But… you're right, you don't deserve it. If they took the time to do something nice for me, the least I can do is attend, don't you think?" you mumbled with a smile. The boy nodded again and hugged you by the shoulders.

"Don't let him make you sad" he advised you "much less on your birthday"

"Thank you, Reggie" you replied. His interest in your happiness warmed your chest with love. “So what? Will you blindfold me or some stupid thing like that?" you asked raising your eyebrow and Regulus laughed as he took off his tie.

"Good idea, good idea" he expressed while covering your eyes "Remember, you have to look surprised, or else they will kill me, okay?"

"Yes, I understand," you said with a smile, letting yourself be guided through the passage.

And simultaneously, somewhere in the university, Sirius was running rampant in the hope of finding you.

You were definitely surprised when you entered the common room, it was not necessary to pretend anything.

Most of Regulus's friends (and your housemates) were sitting with emerald green party hats and a few streamers decorating the place, plus a sign. They all started singing “happy birthday” out of tune and you held back the tears behind a huge smile.

"You like it?" Narcissa said as she walked towards you and gave you a big hug. "We all contributed, even Bella," she murmured happily, pointing at her sister who was trying to smile across the room.

"It's magnificent, I'm so happy that you remembered" you said looking at everyone "I really love it, I never thought you would do something like this to me"

"I didn't want to," Severus lied, with that bitter grin that he had every day. You laughed, approached him to wrap him in a hug and left a sound kiss on his cheek that he cleaned up with a frenzy.

"I also want!" Barty said as he jumped up to your place and placed his lips so you could kiss them. You laughed and in his place you pressed his cheeks with one hand, making him complain.

"Thank you all, really. I do not know what to say. I had never celebrated a birthday with you and I feel very lucky to…” you passed a gulp of saliva, trying not to let yourself cry “to have such great colleagues as you” you finished, with a smile and some tears trapped in your eyes.

"Stop the damn kitsch and bring the alcohol!" Lucius Malfoy yelled from his place, making everyone laugh, including you.

The next thing was to receive hugs and congratulations from the others in the room, even from some senior years who you did not know but who had agreed to go with the promise of being able to drink liquor.

You felt someone touch your shoulder and you noticed that she was another girl of your generation that you knew very vaguely.

"Hmm, hello and happy birthday" she started to say and you thanked him with a smile "There is a boy who insists to come in here, he says he needs to talk to you urgently. I think he is Regulus's brother” she informed you and when he heard his name the boy rushed to stand by your side.

“Thanks for letting us know, Kate. You're very kind,” he said, with his usual diplomatic tone. The girl nodded and said goodbye to go to her bedroom, leaving you with Regulus “Do you want me to talk to him? I can invite him to come in if you want or..."

"No" you said serious. You turned your head to see your housemates, who were very entertained watching Barty and Bellatrix compete with each other to see who drank the most Firewhiskey. You smiled at Cissy's concern, Lucius's words of encouragement, and the faces Severus was making from one of the chairs.

Maybe it wasn't the best birthday party, but at least they had given you one. Sirius, what had he done?

"No?"

"I don’t want to see him. Tell him to go" you said determined "Please" you added. Regulus frowned, for he didn't expect you to give up his brother so easily, but he nodded anyway.

"Okay, I'll go with him."

"Thank you very much," you answered honestly, placing your hand on his bicep to squeeze him for a second. You were silent and then you spoke again "Do you plan to drink today?"

"I don't think so, I'm afraid they'll do something they regret and I'm not there to take care of them" he said smiling and pointing his head towards your friends. "Why do you ask?"

"Because I think you will have another butt to take care of tonight" you expressed, with a little emotion in your eyes. Reg giggled and bowed mockingly to the liquor table.

“It's all yours, birthday girl. I promise to drag you to your room if necessary” he said cordially and he didn't need to say another word when you were already running to the fun.

He smiled to see you so happy and walked in the direction of the exit, fearing the reaction that his brother's reaction to telling him that you didn't even want to see him would not be the most favorable.

When Sirius finally reached the entrance to the Slytherin building he was gasping for air and he felt a bit of sweat running down his forehead. It hadn't taken that long, so he was hoping to find you to talk before the party your housemates had thrown for you started. The problem was, he couldn't get in that easy. He needed the password and he definitely didn't know it. He huffed in frustration, hoping to find a solution as quickly as possible until it occurred to him that he might wait for a student and ask them to let him in on a fleeting visit.

But the problem was that it seemed that neither student wanted to enter or that everyone was already in the building. He dropped to the side of the door, desperately waiting for someone to show up until minutes (many minutes) later a girl approached the door.

"Hey!" he said to get her attention, louder than he expected "Excuse me, but will you let me in your common room?" he asked quickly. The girl looked at him confused.

"You're from another house, why would I let you do that?"

“Hey… hmm, you're right. It turns out that my friend, Y/N, is there inside and it is very important that I talk to her. Our friendship may depend on this" he said and she thought he was just exaggerating "So if you were kind enough to let me pass I could solve this and everything happy, don't you think?" he tried to convince her, but she refused again.

“I know that according to you this is very important and all that, but… I have seen your friends and their jokes. I don't want to risk falling into one of these and everyone hates me, I don't know if you understand me."

"No! I promise you it's nothing like that. I really want to talk to her, can you give me that opportunity?" he begged her, clasping his hands in front of him.

She looked at him for a moment, pondering his sincerity, and finally spoke again.

"I can't let you pass, no matter how much I want to, but I can see if she's there and tell her you're looking for her" she murmured with a shrug. She really didn't care much what he chose, she just wanted to get rid of him.

"Yes! It would be perfect, thank you very much” he expressed, totally happy to have the opportunity for you to know that she was looking for you. The girl nodded without much encouragement and walked into her common room, leaving Sirius still a bit impatient.

He had to wait another few minutes, which seemed like forever to him, and finally he heard someone leave the building. He expected to meet you, but instead, he could see his brother Regulus in a more scruffy uniform than usual.

"What do you want Sirius?"

"Can I speak to her?" he asked, hoping his brother would be more merciful to him.

"She told me that she doesn't want to see you" he spoke "And I don't blame her, she has her reasons"

"Why? I just need to say I'm sorry, it won't take long."

"That won't be enough, Sirius," Regulus said. He was sick of having to deal with the two of you pretending you didn't realize what was going on, Sirius shit hurting you, and he acts as a go-between in all situations. "She's very upset with you."

"I know, that's why I need to talk."

"And what are you going to say? What can you tell her to fix this?" he asked him seriously “Your friends have not stopped excluding us, making fun of us, and pigeonholing us in their stupid prejudices. This was just the drop that filled the glass.

"But it is not my fault. I haven't said anything, it's them"

“And what did you do to avoid it? You were able to defend her all those times, even today. You could have said something, shut up that idiot Potter, or just remembering his birthday would have been enough. But you didn't do any of that, did you?" he said, making Sirius only sink deeper into guilt " She is upset with you, but not because of what you did or said, but because of everything you didn't stop your friends from saying.” he sentenced. Sirius didn't know what to say, with each word he only felt worse “So please, I ask you not to take away that joy that we are managing to give her. I care a lot for her and unlike you I want her to be well"

"I want that too, Reg. She's my best friend, do you think I don't want that?"

"Well, it doesn't look like it, brother” he murmured. He thought that maybe you would be upset if you realized what he was about to say, but it was necessary “Look, I think you are a little blind or an idiot if you have not realized this, but everything you do towards Y/N affects her more than what others do. I dare say that she was not even interested in spending her birthday with your friends, with me or with my colleagues. She wanted to spend it with you. She adores you and that adoration is directly proportional to the hatred she can have you if you don't fix things,” he commented. Sirius looked devastated, he was about to cry and guilt gnawed at his heart.

He walked over to Regulus and took his forearms to force him to look at him.

"Reg, please let me see her," he sobbed. He realized that he was so poisoned by his companions' contempt for the Slytherins that he didn't notice the damage he was doing to you.

He didn't know that he was in love with you. All the time he saw so normal the way he loved you, the way he blushed when he was near you, the butterflies that fluttered in his stomach, his constant desire to hug you and protect you.

Now he was doing the opposite.

"It's not my decision, Sirius," he said, shrugging "And she said she doesn't want to see you, so I suggest you respect it and leave if you don't want to finish ruining what your friends started" he expressed coldly. He was upset with his brother too, but he could forgive a couple of rude jokes because they were family after all.

"Tell her I'm sorry," he murmured. He wanted to try every last resort to let you know how sorry he was.

"I will not do that" he replied "You have to do it, if not what use would it be?" he finished and walked back into his common room.

Masterlist

When you were placed into Gryffindor you thought it was a mistake. There was no way with your long line of Slytherin pureblood, that you'd be a Gryffindor. Not that you thought there was anything wrong with that. You never cared to live up to people's expectations or what people thought of you, even though your parents did. And despite your family's attempts at making you see their way, you never could. There was no superior bloodline, you were all equal. But you played your part so you wouldn't hear the lectures or deal with all the drama. You didn't partake in the bullying or the maltreatment of muggle-borns or half-bloods like every other pureblood; you didn't see the need. You kind of just stood by or left whenever your friends would tantalize others.

However, when you got sorted you weren't the silent one while others bullied and tortured others who weren't deemed worthy in the eyes; you were the one getting bullied. The first few years you wanted to fight back but eventually, there were too many for you to handle. So you just dealt with it. At the parties that the pureblood families had thrown-- which your family was invited to-- your parents had advised you to try to blend in and not draw attention to yourself. For the most part, you did.

Regulus, your best friend tried to get you out of your shell. You tried to convince him that it wasn't you but your parents. You would've love to enjoy yourself at the parties, being dressed up and all that. But with your situation, you couldn't afford to make a fool out of yourself, and drinking firewhiskey in different rooms or sneaking off to where your parents couldn't keep an eye on you, wasn't a good idea. When you and Regulus were older your parents had set an arranged marriage between you two. Uniting rich and powerful families and all that. But You and Regulus were just the best of friends, always together. And just like everything else, that had to change. You now had to find ways to see each other in hidden places. Never to be seen together in front of students or staff in case it would get back to your parents. In Hogwarts you ignored each other, magically passing notes to update each other on your well-being. It was tough but you managed. Regulus was your only friend after all.

~~~

It was just another day at Hogwarts, You were avoiding Bellatrix Lestrange. Your main terrorizer. She had a group of Slytherins trailing her. Ever since you got sorted into Gryffindor every pureblood who was in Slytherin, taunted and teased you to no end. They jinxed you and called you weak. Saying things about how you weren't one of them. You knew that much but you didn't need the constant reminder.

Bellatrix and her group were right behind you as you were walking to the Gryffindor common room. You cursed in your mind, they saw you.

"Going somewhere L/N?" You ignored her. "You know it's rude to not answer your superiors."

"I'm not trying to bother anyone Bellatrix." You sighed but kept walking.

"Your presence alone bothers me." She sent a spell your way to catch your attention.

"Are you crazy?" You turned to face her, Your voice raising a bit. An amused smile played on her lips, she tilted her head to the side.

"You have no idea what crazy looks like Y/N/N." She stalked towards you in a predatory way.

"We grew up together Bellatrix," You slowly backed away from her so as to not set her off. "Name-calling and pranks are one thing but curses..."

You didn't know what you did to cause the special attention that others like first years or Muggle-borns got from Bellatrix. Sure you were never that close, you always got along better with Andromeda than Narcissa and the former, but never would you have thought that you'd be on the receiving end of her fury over blood status. This was outrageous you thought to yourself. How could anyone be this upset over what house people are in?

"Don't worry, after a while, they won't hurt." Your blood started to rush through your veins and a shiver ran down your spine. You stopped walking backward when you bumped into something behind you. A pair of arms held you to keep you steady. You turned around expecting another one of Bellatrix's "friends" only to be met with a tall, shaggy-haired boy.

Sirius Black, your best friend's older brother, who just so happened to be in your house. Relief washed over you. You were no longer outnumbered. Sirius and his group of Marauders were there. Surely they wouldn't just walk away from a fellow Gryffindor in trouble. Of course you never really had an affiliation with them besides the same color robes but they were good people, weren't they?

"We heard something about pranks?" James spoke.

Bellatrix scoffed, "This is none of your business Potter."

"Well Bellatrix considering how Y/N is a member of our house, it does make this our business," Remus replied. She cackled, "How fitting the two blood-traitors in one pitiful little group." She signaled the others to follow her and walked away.

"Are you alright?" Sirius asked, not letting go of your shoulders.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"C'mon we were just going back to the common room." He let go of your shoulders but tugged on the sleeve of your robe to follow them.

"What did you do to cause the wrath of crazy over there?" James questioned. He led the way to the common room, you kept your distance not really trusting any of them. Their reputation for being the school's signature pranksters didn't ease your mind as you walked with them. You never held a conversation with any of them before today, maybe a few with Remus but he was the only sane one out of all of them, it made sense that you were wary of their presence. Who knows what they had planned.

"Does anyone have to do anything at all to provoke her?" Sirius snorted, you gave him a questioning look and he just shrugged.

"No, I suppose not."

"Well Y/N I guess you could call yourself lucky your knight in shining armors were there to save the day." James' cocky smile written on his face assuming he was right.

"Although I appreciate the help, I could've handled myself." You stepped into the portrait hole, anxious to get back into your dorm room and take a nap.

"Not against all of them, you know sometimes you need to run in a pack L/N, you could get killed without one."

"You make it sound like we're wolves," you stated, each attempt to get back to your room was failed by every comment James made. What was his point?

"Some of us aren't," Sirius commented. You noticed Remus got tense and slightly shook his head.

"Point is Bellatrix and her groupies aren't going to quit bothering you and we want to help." James offered.

"What's the catch?"

"Why does there have to be catch? We want to be your friends." Sirius answered and plopped down on the chair across from the couch where you were sitting. You gave him a dead look. "Just think about it, hm?"

"Whatever." You got up from your seat and went to your dorm to take your well-needed nap.

Later that night you went down to the common room to read by the fire until you fell asleep. You felt like you'd only closed your eyes for 2 seconds when you were rudely awakened by Sirius.

"What?" You hissed. His mischievous grin made you want to slap him.

"You're coming with me." He took the blanket that you had wrapped around you, off.

"No." You said simply, reaching for the blanket again. Just as your eyes were beginning to close again you heard him say, "Yes."

He lifted you in his arms and you dramatically fell limp. "What the hell." You groaned loudly.

"Shh you're going to people up," You glared at him.

"Maybe they should wake up since I'm being kidnapped!" He rolled his eyes. You jumped from his arms so you could stand on your own.

"Where are we going?" You asked, Slowly recovering from being awoken.

"You'll see." That was all he responded as he continued to guide you out of the portrait hole and through the halls. You were anxious, in all the years of Hogwarts you never went out past curfew so you didn't know the chances of being caught and getting in trouble.

"Sirius, Filch may be out here." You warned.

"We'll be fine Y/N/N just trust me."

"I don't trust you that's my problem." You muttered. He turned around and looked at you. His piercing grey eyes shining in the darkness. He pulled out a long cloak from who knows where and wrapped it around the both of you, causing you to be closer together.

"This will keep us hidden so Filch won't catch us." The weight in your chest lifted and now replaced by butterflies. You inhaled sharply at the close proximity.

"You alright?"

You nodded, which gave him the confirmation he needed to continue, "Let's go."

When you made it to your destination you gasped. The astronomy tower, "Wow" you whispered, shedding yourself from the cloak. The night sky hadn't looked as beautiful as it did at that very moment. You've been here for class but you've never seen the stars so bright, you wondered what special cosmic event it must've been for the night sky to look the way it did.

You whipped around remembering who you were here with, you crossed your arms, "Why did you bring me here?"

"I can't take you sight-seeing now?"

"I had this class yesterday, this is hardly what I'd call sight-seeing." You arched a brow upwards. "Besides we're not exactly friends..." He gasped and feigned hurt by putting a hand over his heart.

"After all we've been through?" You rolled your eyes. He continued, "I was hoping we could change that. The boys and I have noticed you've been struggling socially and don't really play well with others, but I've seen the way you interacted with my brother before Hogwarts and you enjoy the company. I had to wonder why is it that you don't have that many friends?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but since I got sorted into Gryffindor my old "friends" and family haven't been that accepting considering the fact that they're all Slytherins, I mean you should know how it is." You sighed and took a seat resting your back against a wall facing the night sky. "The people I used to get along with, well, their parents don't want them to spend time with me. As for not having friends in our house, nobody has tried to get to know me, they just assume I'm like the other Slytherins even though I was placed here for a reason." You scoffed, people truly were ridiculous. "It sucks cause every side thinks I've chosen to be apart of what they go against when in reality I'm not apart of anything."

He stared at you, you then realized that you went on a full-on rant and nervously looked down, picking at your nails. He'd been silent the entire time listening. It was nice, "You could be apart of us."

You were skeptical, "Sirius this isn't funny." You moved to get up.

"It's not a joke Y/N." He chuckled.

"You're not being very convincing right now."

"Why would I lie to you?"

"We've barely spoken to each other in all these years of Hogwarts, even before Hogwarts!" you threw your hands in the hair. "I went over your house for playdates with Reg and never had one conversation. You and your friends have a reputation for pranks, How do I know this isn't one of them?"

"Because I'm not trying to prank you Y/n, in fact, I'm trying to help you. We all are." He put his hands on your shoulders to get you to look at him. "I know how it feels to be all alone in a world like that. To be in an environment where you feel uncomfortable with those people. Knowing all the wrong things they say and not being able to say anything because they'll disown you."

"The difference between you and me is that you got out." You shoved his hands off your shoulders. "Not all of us have a James."

"Y/n-"

"I'll think about it." With that, you left, not caring if you were to get caught.

If you were being honest the reason why you didn't want to be friends with the marauders was that they had 3 years to be friends with you, you knew Sirius from years prior. Why didn't he come to you sooner? Knowing you had been friends with his little brother. He just sat there and watched while you spent the first 3 and a half years of what should've been the most fun years of your life at Hogwarts, lonely and sad. If his defense was that he could sympathize with your situation and that he wanted to help; why didn't he approach you sooner? Also, you might've been a little bitter about him having a place to go to while you still had to stay with your parents.

~~~

You did think about after that Night with Sirius, you decided you give them a chance. You wouldn't be cornered alone anymore or hopefully cornered at all. You would have a group now. You also thought it was great that you had someone you could relate to in the group and someone that you somewhat knew. You never thought that you'd be actual friends with your childhood crush, even if that was your best friend's older brother and you'd spend more time in his house than your own most days; but here you were.

Being a part of the Marauders was fun, you were practically family now. They let you in on their little secret; with Remus' permission of course. They informed you of his full moon situation. They offered to help you become an animagus, which you denied, you didn't want to deal with all of that. You helped James with Lily, it wasn't easy but it worked somehow. You would help them with their pranks. They pulled pranks on the people who used to bully you all the time which you appreciated greatly. It was nice knowing they had your back and they knew you had theirs.

Nobody messed with you now and you gained a few more friends now. Lily, Alice, Dorcas, and Mary. It was all great. Except for your growing crush on a certain Marauder. With every moment you spent with him your heart swelled, it wasn't a great idea to get involved with him in that way. You were his brothers best friend, he'd seen you grow up, and took you under his wing when you were in need (you always thought even if he truly wanted to be your friend, it was a sort of favor for Regulus since he couldn't be there) there was no way he would be interested in you. But you had always hoped.

You remembered one Christmas that your parents had forced you to go to a party that the Malfoys would throw annually. It was terrible. You didn't have your friends there with you and Regulus couldn't talk to you with his parents watching. The blacks were suspicious of you spending more time with their son, who they disowned and like every other parent at that party, they didn't want Regulus to associate with you. So you were alone again. The only perk of this entire thing was you didn't have to completely show your face since it was a masquerade ball theme.

Evan Rosier came up to you, your eyes narrowed and you tilted your head in question. "Shame you spend your time with those blood traitors Y/N, I would have asked you out."

"I think I lucked out on that one Rosier." You took a sip from your drink shifting your gaze to somewhere else.

"You filthy little-"

"Careful what your next words are, my friend, I don't think Mummy and Daddy would appreciate it much." A voice that came from behind you said.

"You are not even supposed to be here, Black."

"Sirius!" You threw your arms around his neck, he wrapped his around your waist. You heard Evan scoff and leave.

"Y/N darling, have I told you that you attract way too much trouble."

"No, but I'm starting to think you're right." You pulled away from him, realizing that you were in the eyesight of your parents. "What are you doing here? Your parents will kill you if they see you here."

"I couldn't let you come here alone, with all these people." He looked around with distaste.

"Alright well, we have to find a more private place so you won't get caught." You grabbed his hand in yours and led the way to the maze garden.

"Y/N if you wanted to get into my pants, all you had to do was ask." He wiggled his eyebrows, You shoved him away. "Gross."

"Okay so I didn't tell you this but James and I are breaking you out of here."

"How the hell are you planning on doing that?"

"Easy, a distraction." You were about to ask what the distraction was when you saw a stag through the windows. Screams of the people were coming from the inside. You put a hand over your mouth to cover your smile. You did not expect that at all. Sirius retook your hand and pulled you deeper into the maze when the guests were filing out.

You stopped when you were finally in the middle, there was an enchanted fountain spewing water. you had a rush of energy and laughed. Sirius was looking down at you.

"Where'd James go?"

"He should be coming soon." He replied. It was quiet for a while before Sirius scooped up water from the fountain and threw it at you. You gasped, "You asshole!"

You dipped your hand in the water and flicked it at him. This started a war between the two of you. You ducked behind the fountain and threw water at him whenever you got the chance and he did the same. It wasn't until you heard footsteps coming that you stopped.

"Y/N?" You remembered that voice, you whipped around quickly and almost fell into the water if it wasn't for Sirius who had put a hand on your back to catch you.

"Reg?" He ran to you and wrapped his arms around you, picking you up and twirling you around. Once he put you down he pulled you away at arm's length to observe you.

"You're wet." He stated, confused.

"Water fight." you smile into the response. He laughed and threw his head back.

"Only you." Sirius coughed, you almost forgot he was there.

"Hello, brother." Regulus nodded to him. "It's been a while, I've missed you."

"Have you?" You gave Sirius a look, now was not the time. This was the first time you've seen Regulus in months, years even. You didn't need them to argue.

"We should talk." He suggested, You agreed and strolled along the maze with Regulus, noticing that the guests have all returned inside.

"So you escaped your parents." You started talking.

"So I did." he glanced at you. "But only for a bit, they'll start to wonder where I've gone. I just needed to see you."

"Yeah me too."

"I just wanted to let you know that I can't write to you anymore." Your brows furrowed in confusion. "Why not?"

"It's not safe."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Just know things are about to get serious and dangerous and I have to do things that I know you won't agree with to keep you safe."

"Reg, I-I don't know what you're saying."

"Soon enough you will." He stopped walking. "I needed you to know before I cut ties with you, that I love you. You're my best friend and I never want you to get hurt." You felt the tears forming.

"I love you too." He caresses your cheek and kisses them both before saying his final Goodbye. You were left standing there trying to decipher his words.

Eventually, you found yourself back where you and Sirius were playing with water. He was sitting on the edge of the fountain. He stood up when he saw you and your tearstained cheeks. He wrapped you in a hug.

"I'm glad you came." You whispered, hugging him back. He kissed the top of your head and told you that it was time to go. You went to James' house, you spent Christmas and summers there from then on. You never returned home. You slept in the guest bedroom and Sirius stayed with James in his room. Your parents sent you a letter telling you that you were no longer welcome at their house since you chose to associate yourself with bad company that was ruining their reputation. You didn't care much about it, knowing you had a better family now.

It wasn't until you graduated from Hogwarts that you figured out what Regulus was talking about. The war was getting more serious, Lily and James had to go into hiding, you and Sirius had joined the order, you became partners on missions, your bond growing more and more every day.

~~~

"There's too many of them Y/N we need to go back to headquarters!" Sirius yelled over the sounds of fighting. This was supposed to be a quick mission to find out where Voldemort was going to attack next. Hopefully saving a family and your best friends. But as always nothing went according to plan, you didn't drink enough poly juice potion that let you take the face of a death eater that you and Sirius had captured. You didn't bring the flask with you so in the middle of asking questions you transformed back into your true form, which then brought on the fighting.

"No! You go and get the others," A curse was sent your way, you blocked it. "I can fight them off in the meantime!"

"There's no way I'm leaving you with all of these death eaters!"

"Well I'm not going, we just need to catch one and get the information we need!" You continued to duel with Evan Rosier who was easily blocking all of your offensive spells. 'Shit' was all you thought. Six against two were not great odds and you were getting tired. Sirius made a point of retreating. If you were to leave now, you lost the element of surprise and they would be expecting you next time. That or they would retaliate. Great just great, all because you forgot to bring extra poly juice potion.

"Now is not the time to play hero, we can try another day." He took your hand and apparated you to a random alley in another part of London, but not before you were struck with a stinging spell.

"Fuck-" Tears stung in your eyes, Sirius was rushing towards you screaming your name.

The next thing you know you were waking up in a bright room. You assumed you were at St. Mungos. Memories of the moments before you were brought her played in your head. You slowly opened your eyes you turned your head to the sound of snoring. Sirius was sitting in a chair beside your bed. Despite feeling like shit you decided to throw a pillow at his head to wake him up. He sat up quickly, eyes wide staring at you.

"What the fuck?"

"Even when you're asleep you are annoying."

"I'm sorry I was up all night taking care of your dumb-ass."

"Apology accepted." You broke into a smile when you saw his face. He was so...serious. You could never let go of that joke.

"I'm not joking around, you were bad like so bad I thought I lost you."

"Siri-" You sat up in your bed.

"No Y/N I don't think you understand how serious this situation was. You had seizures and might've slipped into a coma. You've been in and out for days now." Your smile faded. "I-I thought I was going to lose you and I can't, not you." He shook his head, running a hand through his hair.

"Sirius, we all get injured, it happens. It's apart of the job."

"Yes but you're different."

"How? How is it any different than if this were to happen to Remus or James or any of the others?"

"Because I love you!" You tried to process his words. He searched your eyes for any response but you were in shock. He spoke softly, "It's different from the others because I am in love with you. I have been for a while.

"You don't have to say it back, you probably don't-" You grabbed him by the collar of his leather jacket and kissed him.

"You're an idiot." You kiss him once more and looked him in the eyes and said "I'm in love with you too."

Finally

A/N: After nearly three months of not posting, I finally completed a fic. Feel free to give me feedback on this and just know my inbox is always open.

Pairing: Sirius Black x Fem!Reader

Summary: Sirius finally gives you the ring he promised you two years ago.

Warnings: THIS IS A PART TWO TO FUTURE TALK - read part one before this one! Mentions of death and most likely mistakes I missed

Word Count: 1,1k

Masterlist

Enjoy!

(Not my gif, credit to whoever made it)

Two years have passed since the war ended. None of you thought to see the day when you could safely leave your house without having the sickly thought of being followed. Although it felt nice to no longer be at risk, most of the order was gone. A lot of lives were taken in order for war to end. The deaths of Marlene and Dorcas hit you the hardest, and you only wished they could once again live their lives unafraid.

Sirius also wished the same for his kid brother, Regulus. He felt so proud of him when it became known that it was Regulus who betrayed Voldemort and helped destroy him but that didn’t stop Sirius from feeling guilty, he left Regulus alone when he should have been there protecting him from the evil world.

James and Lily were finally safe to come out of hiding, and Remus could finally spend another full moon with his friends altogether. It became known that Peter was working alongside Voldemort, however he was still a part of your family and the five of you began to work on forgiving and trusting him again.

Since that night you and Sirius spoke about your futures together, Sirius has been waiting for the perfect time to go ring shopping and pick out the perfect one for you. He only hoped that you didn’t forget about that night and that your engagement, if he could call it that was still on. He just waited on the perfect day to go to the jewelry store.

Thankfully distracting you wasn’t a difficult task as you took up the duty on renovating the Grimmauld Place during the weekends with the help of Kreacher—somehow the house elf took a liking for you. The only issue now was trying to get James to go with him, ever since Lily became pregnant with their second child James has become clingier then ever and demands to be at his wife’s side 24/7.

“C’mon James, this is a special moment for me, and I need you, as my future best man, to accompany me!” Sirius pleaded.

James stood for a moment thinking with a finger over his lips. “No.” He said. Sirius let out a frustrated sigh.

“I went with you! Why won’t you come with me?”

“Because Sirius, what if Lily needs something and she can’t get it or what if Harry gets into something he isn’t supposed to get into?” James proceeded to look over to his three-year-old who was inches away from pulling their cat’s tail. James ran to move Harry away and placed him on his hip.

“James if you don’t come with me, I won’t visit you for a week and I’ll take Harry with me!” Sirius said in a semi threatening tone.

“You wouldn’t?!”

“Oh, I would, without hesitation James. Without hesitation.” Sirius began taking Harry out of his father’s arms, making James grip his son slightly tighter.

“Fine, I’ll go…if Lily gives me permission.” Sirius rolled his eyes as James ran to where Lily was.

Convincing Lily only took three seconds, which wasn’t very surprising considering she would complain to you on how annoying James was becoming and she needed a break from him. James and Sirius were now entering their fifth jewelry store, Sirius was having the hardest time finding the perfect ring for you.

Sirius was extremely close into taking home an Emerald ring with a silver band until James said it looked too Slytherin. However, James was becoming incredibly picky with any ring Sirius was close to buying.

“James, I hope you know this ring is for Y/n and not for you.” Sirius said slightly annoyed.

After visiting three more stores, Sirius and James both found a ring that they would both agree on. The ring would perfectly match your skin tone along with the stone. The next step on his plan was to figure out a good way to propose to you.

Sirius spent at least two weeks coming up with ideas, but nothing seemed good enough until he remembered the exact words, he said to you two years prior.

“I want you to marry me after this god-awful war, I want to marry you and I want to have children with you. I want the happiness, the love, the joy, the tears, and even the sadness and anger. I want it all with you. Take this as a proposal or whatever but I want to marry you after all this.”

Sirius thought to himself if it was a good idea to do it this way, but he promised you a ring and he’s going to give you said ring. Stuffing the ring into this jacket, he apparated to where you were as you were starting to spend more days renovating the once horrid house.

Entering the house, he noticed the walls were freshly painted and furniture that was more up to date. Hearing your softs singing coming the kitchen, Sirius ran down the hallway ignoring Kreacher’s comments towards him running in the house.

He stood by the entrance for a few seconds, admiring you as you were in your own world painting the cabinets. Taking out the ring box from his jacket, he opened it looking at the ring once more before placing it front of you.

Slightly confused at what was blocking your view, you pushed Sirius’ hand back to have a clear look at what he was trying to show you.

“Sirius what is this?” You asked, still staring at the ring.

“It’s the ring I promised you, my love.” He spoke softly. You felt your heart start to pound at his words. “Two weeks ago, I went out to buy it with Prongs just how I said I would.”

Tears began to fill your eyes as you turned around to face him, you honestly didn’t think he remembered since none of those thoughts were never spoken about since that night.

“I want to continue being with you for the rest of my life, you’re already working on our future home and it’s only fair that we live in it as a married couple. So, will you ma— “

“Sirius just put the damn ring on me already! Of course, I’ll marry you!” You said excitedly, cutting him off.

Sirius laughed as he took the ring out of the box and placed it on your finger. You held your left hand up, admiring the beautiful ring he chose for you.

“It’s perfect darling. I love you and can’t wait for what the future brings us” You said, kissing him afterwards.

“I love you too and I can’t wait either.” Sirius and you held each other tightly, not wanting the moment to end.

“We’re still naming our future kid Elvendork, right?” You said, breaking the silence.

“For Merlin’s sake Y/n, when are you letting the name go?”

An anonymous lover (part 4)

Summary : Y/N sees Sirius Black running away after a particularly rough letter from his mother. She wants to cheer him up and decide to send him a letter, anymously, she knows how much he hates her house.

Warnings : Slytherin!Reader, female!reader, not proof read

Word count : 2.6k

English is not my first language, sorry if there is any mistakes

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - You're here - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7

-------------------------------

Sirius was slowly starting to desparate, it has been now almost three weeks seen he received the letter from that mysterious person and he had no idea who it could be. He and the marauders –with the help of Lily- had search for them among Evans’ friends, but none of them matched the headwriting or even admiting being the writer of the letter.

He is not that surprise, after all it was said in the letter that they didn’t know each other that well, and most of Lily’s friends were people he knew himself and was close to, but it was worth the shot he told himself.

He was in potion, lost in his own mind, he didn’t hear someone calling next to him and he snapped out of his mind, “You said something ?” It was Y/N, his potion partner, despite being a slytherin, she was always nice, a bit discreet in class, even if he heard a story or two from Lily of little mischiefs she has done, the more time they spend together, the more he was surprised she was a slytherin.

“I was asking you to give me the mandrake leaves”, Sirius looked on his left were the leaves were, he then looked at the cauldron on the table, it had a greenish color with some pinkish sturls, bubbling heavely. He wasn’t paying attention at the beginning of the class so he had no idea on what that was, so he decide to just hand over the madrake leaves to Y/N.

She ground the ingredient before putting it in the cauldron who turned completly pink. She then looked at Sirius, “Are ok ? Y' look a bit.. Off"

Sirius straighten his back on his stool, trying to look more composed but he sighed, “Yeah yeah ‘t‘s just...”, he hesitated a bit, should he talk to her about it ? But she looked so concerned. “It’s just there is that person who gave me a letter a few weeks ago and I don’t know who it is. I’d like to meet them” He was playing with the little kiss card, he had since forgotten the feeling and the paper was slowly tearing up by being touch all the time.

Y/N simply smiled at him, “Yeah, I heard about it. Who knows, if you’re lucky maybe they heard about it too and will come to you ? Or send another letter ?”

Sirius just nob a little, he hoped she was right and that wasn’t just a one time thing. He decided to pay more attention for the rest of the class.

After the lesson of this morning, he went to the Great Hall with the marauders to eat, his stomach was rumbling louder than Peter’s snorring at night. At the table he thought about what Y/N had said, apparently some people had heard about his desire to find a mysterious lettermaker, maybe indeed they had heard of it and would send another one ? Maybe even directly talked to him ? He tried to not put his hopes too high but he couldn’t resist to look at the owl’s entry and wish to see one arrived for him, he wasn’t a patient person after all.

He tried to pay attention to what James was saying, something about the perfect plan to ask Lily on a date. “She will say yes !” the boy was confident.

“Of course, like the 437 other times” mocked Remus, his friend open his mouth agape, absolutly scandilise, “Don’t be a party pooper Moony ! Friends are s’pose to support each other !”, Sirius was about to retort something but his head snapped at the sound of wings flapping around, making his friends laugh. “You think you will have another letter ?” asked Peter.

Sirius sighed, “I hope so ! They can’t just send me a wholehearted letter and then send me obsoutely nothing ever again !”, he waited a bit and his eye widen when an owl landed in front of him with a letter decorated with stars in the beak, he was completly overjoyed. “NO WAY !!”, he screamed a bit, making heads turned to him, includind Y/N’s, who observed him from afar.

Sirius looked at the enveloppe, it had a new constellation draw on it, and didn’t wait to open the letter, completly ignoring the owl who was waiting for his reward, it’s Remus who ended up feeding the animal who then flew away, the marauders all looked at Sirius, waiting for a reaction, who just had the biggest grin on his face.

It was written in a beautiful emerauld green this time, with forget me not flowers as well as lilac, it smelled beautifully good and was quite soothing.

“Dear Sirius,

I heard you were looking for me ? I must admit that I’m flattered and happy you liked the first one so much, it warm my heart to know it had the reaction intended.

Looking at you from far away searching for me at the wrong place is very entertainning, that’s why I’m going to let you keep looking for me a moment”

Sirius open his mouth in shock. “What, what are they saying ?” James leaned accross the table, trying to see. “They wants to play a little, apperently it makes them laugh to see me struggle finding them”;

James laugh, “She seems fun !”, “Or he” told Sirius.

“FINE ! Wanna bet ? 5 gallons it’s a girl !”. Sirius stopped to think for a moment, he didn’t care of the gender of the person but he really wanted to bet with James, they did that often and it wasn’t a big deal in the end. “That’s a deal then, Prongs”. Sirius then went back to the letter.

“But since I am not a complete monster, I am going to give you a hint : I am not a gryffindor. And because I will dare to say I am quite generous, I am going to let you write to me too if you desire to do so. You may have noticed with the kiss from last time –that a hope you liked- I like inventing a few things, in the enveloppe you will find pieces of paper to stick to you letters, the charm of the paper will transcribe you’re message onto a parchment that I possess. I could tell you all the magic behind it but I will keep it for another if that interest you.

Game on Sirius Black ! 3 gallons you can’t find me before at least two months.

P.S : The pieces of paper are a new creation so it might malfunction, I will send you an update in ten days if I have no news from you, or you could always scream in the Great Hall if you want me to send something sooner”

Sirius looked in the void for a few second, ok, that was a lot of information to take at once, he let James took the letter so he could read it. He looked in the enveloppe and there were indeed five pieces of paper, he guessed it was singled used. He looked some more and was incredibly disappointed to not find any kiss in it. He had really hoped he could feel it again. Well, from them, when Sirius better explain to James what was the kiss he had felt, he put into an habit to kissed his friend good night to tease him, always getting a smack from Sirius in return.

“Wow, they seemed brillant” said Remus who had now th letter in hand before giving it back to Sirius. "Must be a ravenclaw” remarked Peter, that’s where they will be looking next. But for now, he couldn’t wait to write to them, the first thing he will do once back in the dorm.

---------------------------------------------

And that’s what he did right away once the day ended, he thanked them for the letter, telling them how much it had helped him to feel better and how grateful he was for all the nice things they had said. Of course he took the challenge, he never back away from an opportunity to win, especially one such as this one, he had flirted a bet a date at Hogsmeade he will find them before those two months. He ended the letter by demending more kisses to use, obviously.

Once he was satisfied with it, he decided to try out the piece of paper to transfer the message. At first nothing happened, he was a bit scared the thing wouldn’t work, but when he was about to voice his worries, the lines started to shine of golden glow before slowly disappearing. Wow, they are brillant.

--------------------------------------------

Sirius was more than happy to received a letter the next day, the paper had perfectly worked out ! That letter was way more casual, with less decoration, talking about the few past weeks with an added candy, their favourite one they said, Sirius made sure to note that somewhere in his mind as he was eating it, sour, just like he liked them.

He also was delighted to see they had added kisses with that letter, two, with three used each that made six in total, he used one right away, he had missed the feeling too much. He had to slap away James who wanted to try it out too, to see what was so great about them.

“C’mon Pads, you said it could be reused !” had he complain. “And it’s not like you’ll run out, now you can have more whenever !”, Sirius just threw bread at him, “Don’t you fucking dare Prongs, I wil envoy each one of them !”.

Him and the rest of the marauders have given up on searching on their own who the person was after a few days, they used energy for not much and apparently the anonymous person envoyed sending them in the wrong direction, Sirius having some akward conversation with people he barely knew to know if they were or not the person he was looking for. He decided rather to focus on the letters.

-------------------------------------------

And that’s how Sirius and the anonymous penpal fell into a routine, he will write in the evening and have an answer the next day at lunch, writing to each other almost everyday. He smiled at the evolution of the letters, it became more natural, the penpal slowly loosen up the handwriting to a point were it would be impossible for someone who didn’t lived “the downfall to incomprehension” as he tease them about, but he loved that, it fell special to him to be able to read them so well when other struggled.

The marauders had read the letters occasionally when the penpal was giving hint of who they were, which was a rare occurrence, bu they had given up days ago. James had froaned at the letter, he thought he had seen it before but he couldn’t recall where, he simply pushed that idea in the back of his head.

He groaned a bit when they turned out to be a she, handing five gallons to James who simply sang “I told you so” over and over again. At that Sirius simply rolled his eyes and went back to the letter.

They were always written in colored ink, with always at least one doodle, often of flowers, especially roses, she apperently loved them very much. He keep that in mind among the other little details about her and the gifts he could bring her once they met. He also were given more kisses, some on the cheeks, or the hand, whether on the knuckles, fingers, the palm, he loved it all. He received one on his jaw that he absolutly loved, but he has teased her about it and so as a punishment he never received more of these.

Truth be told, Y/N was simply completly embarassed of what she has done, she send this one a day were she felt particulary bold and regretted it the very next day at Sirius’ teasing.

He also received some hugs. Boy did he loved those, they never lasted long enough for him. He finded them so comforting, and by the repetition of them, he could tell she was smaller than him and that had him completly melted. And he swore he almost passed out the day she sended her voice.

It wasn’t much, just “Have a nice day, Sirius !”, but he listened to it every single day, delighted when he was told it was unlimited. Y/N had took a big risk that time, but she really wanted to send him just that special one, he often told her how much it made him a bit sad that the hugs and kisses were so limited, so she sent that one line, modifiying her voice just enough to be a bit out of her ordinary one.

She wasn’t as scared as before to meet Sirius, after so many days speaking to each other, she would dare to say they were close, both had confessed in their letter deep secrets and insecurities, and they trusted each other enough to be vunerable with one another, she almost asked him to meet in the astronomy tower.

But a few things were preventing her to do so ; the bet, she was a slytherin after all and wasn’t going to lose to a gryffindor; her insecurity, despite feeling better than before, a big parts of her still was terrified to the idea of meeting him as the person he has been writing to for weeks, she didn’t know how she would react; and finally, she has heard Sirius badly talked about slytherin a few times, and she didn’t want to ruin everything because of who she was, she was proud to be a slytherin despite the surprise of many people to discover which house she was in, but depise that she had let her feelings for Sirius get in the way and now very selfishly didn’t want to let that go.

-------------------------------------

The two months were soon over, and Sirius still didn’t know who his penpal was, he wanted to win the bet but didn’t know how to at this point, with the tests and essays they recently had, he didn’t took the time to search for her. He was planning on asking her in his next letter if she will revealed herself by the end of the bet, hoping with all his being for her to say yes.

He was now in potion, sitting next to Y/N, both were silently taking notes, as for once, Sirius decided to stay quiet the whole time, he had a bit of struggle with this potion and he needed to focus, not used to have difficulties in class.

Y/N saw his struggle and decided to talk to him. “Do you need help with that potion, Black ?”

The boy looked at her for a few second and sighed, “Yeah, that one’s a bitch, can I burrow your notes ?”

Y/N hesitated a bit, not knowing if she should, she knew he could read her handwriting but didn’t know if he would put two and two together. She decided to hand them to him, after all she proposed her help and it would impolite to stop now, and she told herself he will probably not recognise it, some handwriting could look alike without being from the same person.

Sirius gave her a greatful smile, “Thanks Y/L/N”, she gave back a smile “No problem”, she put the rest of her stuff away and spoke without thinking, “Have a nice day Sirius !” and she got out.

Sirius immidiatly froze, was that ..?

The Unorthodox Go-To Harry Potter Fanfiction List

After wasting a large chunk of my life exploring the deep scope of Harry Potter fanfiction, I believe that I finally have enough to compile a credible list of the most intelligible, obscure pieces I’ve read so far. Some are dark; some are absurd; some are sirius. Nothing is ordered in any particular way.

1. Friends the psychotic house-elf

Multi-chaptered

Genre: horror/tragedy

Status: Incomplete

Warning: Depictions of torture, violence, and rape

Summary: Instead of making new friends on the Hogwarts Express in 1995, Luna loses the only one she has. In the lonely year that follows, she discovers just how well the name 'Loony Lovegood' fits her. Insane!Luna. Very dark.

I read this a couple of years ago and it still has an impact on me. If you’re interested in psychological horror, then this is the fic for you.The characters are OOC to serve the purpose of the fanfic, and the writing is so developed it almost makes you sick. It’s very compelling but also difficult to read, so viewer discretion is heavily advised.

2. The Ones Left Behind Sudowoodo

Multi-chaptered

Genre: Friendship/Romance

Status: Complete

Summary: Sirius wasn't looking for a new best friend, but James was now spending all his time with his new girlfriend. Sirius was the one left behind, and I was the one he found. And neither of us expected what we found in each other. JamesXLily SiriusXOC

This one's pretty famous, with a total of 788 reviews, but do I believe it rightfully has the amount of attention it deserves? No. For those of you looking for something lighthearted and fun, this takes the cake. I usually don’t like fanfics starring an OC, but Holly Comstock is so beautifully written that it’s hard not to consider her a canon character. The story is woven through philosophical conversations, letters, and a touching, bittersweet ending.

3. The Changeling Annerb

Multi-chaptered

Genre: Drama/Angst

Status: Complete

Summary: Ginny is sorted into Slytherin. It takes her seven to figure out why.

It may be popular, but it is unorthodox. In this fanfic, both the depths of Slytherin and a Slytherin!GinnyWeasley are explored in fascinating detail. The writing is nothing but flawless, and I immensely enjoyed reading this. The OCs are also brilliantly done, and somehow this makes me wish Ginny was sorted into Slytherin in canon as well.

3. Simply Irresistible bookworm1993

Multi-chaptered

Genre: Romance/Humor

Status: Complete

Summary: Draco gave a cocky grin. "I am going to give you a makeover." "I'm sorry what?" "You heard me Granger, I'm going to give you a makeover that will make every man want you,and make Weasley die of regret. You will be simply irresistible."

...I’m sorry about this one. I know I said that this list would be comprised of obscure fanfics, but I couldn’t help but include this too. For those looking for a classic ‘leave-your-brain-behind’ 90s chick-click, this is the one for you. As someone who loves Ron and Romione, this fic will always have a special place in my heart.

4. A Ship to Wreck FloreatCastellum

One-shot

Genre: Romance

Status: Complete

Summary: And good God, under starry skies we are lost... And into the breach we got tossed... And the water's coming in fast! Did I build this ship to wreck? (-Florence and the Machine) Padma/Astoria, for the Doomed Ship Challenge on Mugglenet FanFic. Warnings: Heavy alcohol abuse, mild sexual situations.

I read this a while, and every few months I spontaneously remember and reread it again. For such an obscure pairing, the author paints a beautiful and tragic picture. Despite my lack of attention on both Astoria or Padma, I fell in love with this and their ‘doomed ship.’

5. Ten Steps to DeSueify a Mary Sue NickyFox13

Multi-chaptered

Status: Complete

Summary: The dreaded Mary Sue pollutes the Harry Potter fandom, and who else but Ron Weasley, with the help of Harry, Hermione and Ginny, will all teach you how to make a Mary Sue into a plesant original character. Expect weirdness and a lot of chaos. AU [Slowly undergoing edits]

A fun little fanfic that still lives in my head after all this time. Just the right amount of insanity, quirkiness, and fun sprinkled in there.

6. Beautiful biggrstaffbunch

Two-shot

Genre: Romance

Status: Complete

Summary: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

A very unique fic that I encountered a long time back. The rhythm and writing pattern is what gives it its dynamic flavor. It’s perfectly suited for anyone who’s looking for something a different than what the typical stream of recs are.

7. Three Deaths Reese1

One-shot

Genre: Humor/Parody

Status: Complete

Summary: What if Harry, Ron, or Hermione had died at the end of the Harry Potter series? Three scenarios are presented for each death. A tongue in cheek, alternate ending for the saga.

A ludicrous parody of the ending of DH. It pokes fun at the common tropes of most HP FF and is good for those of you who want a quick laugh.

8. Rebel Jewels5

One-shot

Genre: Angst/tragedy

Status: Complete

Summary: Sixteen and reckless, with smooth black hair, greyblue eyes, and a personality that screamed “Motorcycle.”

Here’s a little something for the Sirius-simps. Written by the author of “The Life and Times,” this little snippet of Sirius’ personality is hauntingly beautiful. I think it captures the true poignancy in his life, from his home-life to the Marauders and eventually to his fall from grace.

9. Isolation Bex-chan

Multi-chaptered

Genre: Romance/Angst

Status: Complete

Summary: Post HBP. Ron and Harry are Horcrux hunting and Hermione has been left at Hogwarts to help the Order make it safe for the other students. Draco is forced by Snape to stay in Hogwarts for his own protection, but he can't leave the room he is given; Granger's room. Hermione is the only student trusted with this information, so her and Malfoy share the small space, and Draco tries to avoid insanity as he becomes increasingly isolated with only the Mudblood for company. Something's going to give...

This may be one of the most popular fanfics on the internet, but that doesn’t mean it’s not one-of-a-kind. I was personally not a big fan of the romance itself––the characters had more of an impact on me if anything. It’s beautifully written with three-dimensional, rounded protagonists. Draco Malfoy’s development feels natural and in-character, and the general events stay true to the books and movies.

That’s all for now. I may expand on this list once I dig up more of the long-forgotten fanfictions buried deep within the internet. Hope you all enjoy.

“When a badger loses his lion”

“Hi my name is Charlie, Charlie McKinnon”

It was a beautiful day really ,the sun shined the birds sang. Ted was starting to think the universe was playing some type of twisted joke on him. But there he was in Godric’s hollow graveyard wishing he were anywhere else. He looked around the place there was nothing special just a bunch of graves, some trees, bushes.

He held little Dora’s hand as Alastor Moody gave a speech something about the brightest wizards and witches he had ever met how brave they were. Ted was not paying any attention not because he didn’t care about this funeral, he did too much and maybe that was the problem he sighed closing his eyes just for a second, he felt the hand of his wife Ted smiled.

“You really fancy that Black girl don’t you Teddy?”

At least he was not alone. “Love, we don’t have to stay, we can go home” Andromeda whispered in his ear with both love and concern on her voice.“I’m fine” was all Ted Tonks was able to let out of his mouth although the couple knew he wasn’t. Again the Hufflepuff looked around his eyes fixed in a group where a young couple with a baby stood, James and Lily Potter looked wasted such as the rest of the group, Mary Macdonald cried in Emmeline Vance’s arms, Peter Pettigrew looked in the distance but what broke Ted’s heart was seeing his cousin-in-law Sirius Black he was drinking something Ted assumed was not water as if this was the common thing for a Thursday afternoon. If he didn’t know him he would’ve thought he was a statue. They are so young to look that destroyed that miserable but then again so were the McKinnon’s to be dead.

“I have 5 siblings, 4 brothers and one sister you never get bored I can assure you that”

No bodies to say goodbye just the ashes of the house divided in 7 parts. One for the oldest sibling Nick and his wife Jude 31 years old, the third one for Gabriel McKinnon 26 years old, the fourth one for Mark McKinnon 24 years old, the fifth one for Ben Mckinnon only 23 years old, the sixth one for Lorelai O’Connor Ben’s girlfriend, the seventh one for the youngest Marlene McKinnon 21 years old and Charlie.

He knew their names he had heard them a million times. He had seen them a million times and the idea of not getting to do that anymore was one Ted didn’t want to accept. He was not ready to accept.

“The only place where Hufflepuff wins the Quidditch cup It’s in your dreams Teddy bear”

“Ted don’t listen to Lenstrange you deserve being in Hogwarts as much as anyone here he’s just jealous you have better marks that him in everything”

“Ted stop staring at Black she’s going to notice you’re drooling”

He knew he wasn’t the only one as he turned his head to find no other than August Sewlyn. The man with brunette hair and turquoise eyes used to be in Slytherin always quiet unless you messed with him.Ted knew that a far from Marlene’s friends and Mad-eye Moody the only other person in so much pain like himself was the ex-Slytherin Quidditch captain.

“Sorry Sewlyn I didn’t notice you there I was kinda busy….ignoring you”

“McGonagall put me with Sewlyn can you believe her? She may as well just send me to hell next time”

“NO YOU SHUT UP PIECE OF CRAP YOU DON’T GET TO SAY THAT ABOUT MY FAMILY”

“Teddy I swear I’m trying but he’s such a dick”

“Asshole”

Ted returned his eyes to the front at the same time Mad-Eye gestured him to come take his place and give some words. He wasn’t going to but is not like he has something to lose anymore right? He needed to be like Charlie for once. He put his daughter’s hand in her mother’s. Ted Tonks walked to the little podium letting his breath out and putting his wand on his neck. “The McKinnon’s are proof that good people exists in this world they were brave, kind and loyal if you had their friendship, their love, you were fortunate because you knew that they’d always be for you no matter what, I was one of that lucky people who had them in their life” Ted’s voice started to break as his vision began to get blurry.

“I think I might like boys is that weird Teddy?”

“I kissed Paul of Ravenclaw it’s ok if you don’t want to be my friend anymore”

“I’m so lucky to have you as my best friend Teddy”

“And for that I’ll be forever thankful with Charles McKinnon for sitting with me in the Hogwarts Express….Charlie i was lucky to have you as my best friend” said Ted as he finally let himself breakdown in tears and sobs.

“Sewlyn it’s a little bit good-looking don’t you think?”

“I think I’m falling for that little shit”

“He’s so fine and for what?, Ted for what? I’ll tell you to ANNOY ME”

“TED TONKS YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME”

“The first thing I got to say is that this wedding it’s only happening because I put a lot of effort in pushing the groom to ask out the bride so you are all welcome for the free food”

Ted cried a lot in Andy’s arms he knew his little Dora was being entertained meanwhile by her uncle Sirius who was actually trying to distract himself of thinking about anything. Ted could tell because the smile the black haired boy was giving to his little niece couldn’t reach his eyes, when Ted managed to calm a bit someone reached for him “I’m sorry for your loss, Tonks” said August Sewlyn smiling sadly. “We are sorry for your loss too,August” responded Andromeda.

The man only smiled again Ted could see the tears in his eyes as he mouthed a ‘I miss him’.

“I do too” Ted whispered.

How couldn’t he miss him? Charlie had been his first friend in the magic world and for the last 16 years a constant in Teddy’s life. The best man in his wedding. The Godfather of his daughter. The one who stood up for Ted when the pure bloods were bugging him. The one who made him laugh even in the middle of war. In all the happiest moments of Ted Tonks’ life Charlie McKinnon was there, standing right next to him. They were supposed to be a package deal, to grow old together. Watch their grandkids playing around the garden, while Drom and August rolled their eyes about something Charlie had just said. That’s how’s supposed to be. Not like this. This could not be the end.

Dear Badger: 3, August, 1981

I’ve had such a rough week I’m tired of war Ted not knowing if I’ll make home safe if August will come home safe Is driving crazy, I had a talk with Nick last night he says is better we back off from Order Missions for a bit maybe go live with Grandma Ingrid in America for a while, I agree with him I think is for the best, he’s breaking the news to the rest tomorrow Jude says they’ll agree she obviously does not know Marley like I do she’ll want to stay and fight, Maybe you could try knock some sense into her? She always listens to you. I will miss you, Andy and the little beast a lot but don’t think for a second you’ll get rid of me soon I will write you every week to tease you as always Teddy bear.

With love your favorite Gryffindor(and McKinnon)

-C.M”

Teenagers Part 7

Harry Potter Marauders Era

Link to Part 6

Pairings: Regulus Black x Reader

Rating: M

_______

The next morning, Sirius sat in a tea shop that was off of the beaten path of most people. He stirred the cup of steaming liquid in front of him as he anxiously tapped his foot. When the bell about the door jingled, Sirius looked up as Regulus stepped in. His brother was clearly looking over his shoulder for any of their family members. Agreeing to meet up like this was dangerous...for both brothers.

Sirius internally rolled his eyes. He wished that things didn’t have to be this way. If Sirius wanted to talk to his brother then he should be able to. He was in astonishment that Regulus even agreed to meet him in the first place. The relationship between Sirius and Regulus had been “tense” since Sirius packed his crap and ran to the Potters. Regulus would rarely speak to Sirius at school as it was. Sirius had a feeling that the only reason Regulus agreed to meet him today was the younger brother knew that this conversation had something to do with you.

Regulus sat down across from Sirius silently. Neither spoke as the witch that owned the place came over to take Regulus’ order. Sirius sat quietly as Regulus took off his jacket and placed his hands on the table. Regulus’ attention had fallen on a group of older women who were eyeing both Regulus and Sirius hopefully.

In your dreams…

Regulus thought with an eye roll. He was used to the staring. Any time that he or Sirius went somewhere some member of the opposite sex was drooling over them.

“You’re getting a lot of looks from women now.”

Sirius commented. He couldn’t help but be proud of his little brother. The young man was finally coming into his “good looks” and getting the attention that Sirius had been getting for years. Sirius wouldn’t have been the least bit surprised if one of the older women in the corner wanted nothing more than to “take care” of his younger brother. With those intense eyes, perfectly sculpted face, and a headful of curls Regulus probably captured many women’s hearts...but none of them would matter. Sirius knew this. Regulus’ eyes were only on one person. If one of these women tried to flirt with him, Sirius had a feeling that Regulus would tell them to bugger off. Teasing them was one thing but intentionally flirting with them when Regulus knew that he had you in his life was another.

Regulus rolled his eyes again.

“They don’t matter to me. Y/n is the only one that I care about.”

Sirius smirked.

“Blow one of them a kiss. They will probably fall out of their chairs.”

Regulus shook his head.

“I’m not here to watch you nor flirt with tea shop tramps. Why did you want to see me?”

Sirius nodded, finally accepting that he wasn’t going to get a smile out of his younger brother. It was probably best to get down to business.

“I need to talk to you about Y/n.”

“Yes. If you are going to tell me that I need to break up with her then you are wasting your time. Furthermore, you can tell James Potter to grow a pair and get over it. He needs to be a better older brother to Y/n. The way that he does her is disgusting. He is honestly lucky that I haven’t tried to kick his ass. If he keeps on hurting her, I may not be so kind. I know how she feels and I will not let her go through the same heartache that I have had to.”

Sirius winced. The little dig at him hit home, just as Regulus wanted it to. Regulus didn’t have to say that Sirius was a crap older brother for Sirius to get his brother’s point. Sirius swallowed back his own want to tell Regulus to shut the fuck up.

I have tried. You ignore me! Anytime that I try to patch things up, you run away to your Slytherin friends. That you. Not me!

The comment was so close to coming out of Sirius’ mouth but he wasn’t here today about himself. This was about you.

“I’ll talk to James. He’s just scared. Y/n is his only sister. She’s a special girl not just to James and I but her whole family.”

Regulus frowned.

“You don’t think that I don’t value her?”

Sirius shook his head.

“I didn’t say that. Reg, I know that you value her. Personally, I know you very well. You don’t do anything unless you have it planned out on a pad of paper. I don’t think that you would be wearing a woman’s locket if she didn’t mean something to you. What I’m telling you is you have to keep her safe from the cult.”

“The cult?”

Regulus questioned, earning a scowl from his older brother.

“Our family, idiot! Like it or not, Regulus, our family is a cult and you’re drinking the kool-aid.”

Regulus raised an eyebrow.

“I guess that you would know. Furthermore, what is Kool-Aid and what does that have to do with anything?”

Sirius put a hand over his face.

“Bad analogy. Look, just keep her safe.”

Regulus crossed his arms over his chest feeling a bit insulted. Did Sirius really think that he would let anything happen to you? Regulus wasn’t going to be leaving your side throughout the whole party and if he did, he would make sure Narcissa or his mother was beside you. If worse came to worse, he would have Kreacher keep an eye on you.

“I won’t let anything happen to her. Merlin, Sirius, you act as if I am going to let them cook and eat her.”

Sirius’ normally happy expression that he wore all of the time was dark and grim. Had Regulus not been insulted he may be a bit more sympathetic to his brother’s position. Sirius, was after all, only trying to protect you and that was commendable enough.

“Keep her safe from yourself too.”

Sirius added. Regulus raised an eyebrow.

“Excuse me?”

Sirius sighed.

“Regulus, you're my brother and I love you but we both know how you can be when our family is involved. You fall right into line with the rest of them.”

Regulus stood up with a cold glare.

“You don’t know anything about me.”

Regulus didn’t give Sirius a chance to reply before grabbing his jacket and storming out of the shop. Sirius groaned. His master plan of trying to fix things totally went down in a puff of smoke.

Standing, he decided that it was best to just get back to the Potter’s family home and spend the rest of the day with his best friend.

“Excuse me?”

Sirius looked up when one of the older women that had been eyeing both Sirius and Regulus spoke.

“Yes?”

The woman blushed.

“We just wanted to say that your brother and yourself are adorable.”

Sirius normally would have played right along. Today he was in no mood and wanted nothing more than to whine to James.

“Trust me, you don’t want any of this crazy.”

Sirius replied before walking out in the opposite direction that Regulus had gone in.

(a few hours later)

You sat in front of your mother’s vanity mirror as she fixed your hair and Lily did your makeup. The morning had been spent finding a dress for the party and now here you were being their own personal doll.

“You picked out a beautiful dress, Y/n.”

Lily said with a pleased smile. Your mother nodded, in agreement.

“It was the first one that she tried on. I think the black lace is lovely.”

You were pleased with the gown that you had chosen even if James made the snide comment of…

“If she marries him that’s all that she will be wearing.”

To your shock, Sirius was the one that stood up for you there. He gave James a displeased expression and asked James to stop. Of course, James immediately shut up since it was Sirius that asked.

You couldn’t help but frown thinking about your brother and how awful that your relationship had become since you began dating Regulus. Could James not be happy for you? You had your first boyfriend that you were actually in love with. Regulus was good to you in return...could that not be enough?

Apparently not.

Lily speaking, pulled you from your thoughts.

“I think Regulus is here to get you, Y/n.”

Walking downstairs, you saw the sight that you expected to see. James sat on the couch ignoring Regulus like a toddler would someone that they were mad at. Sirius sat in between James and Regulus, probably to stop the two from beating the crap out of each other. You made a mental note to thank Sirius later.

Sirius was at least starting to change his views on you dating his younger brother. He had apologized earlier that morning for being a git about the whole thing and if you were happy then he was happy for you. There was also the promise to beat the crap out of Regulus if he did something to hurt you followed by a huge “Sirius Black” smile. Of course, you couldn’t be angry with him after that.

You didn’t expect Sirius to give you a ton of excuses on why he was so angry in the first place...you knew. Sirius was worried about your safety. That went without saying but that didn’t mean that he had to treat you so crappy over the past few months. His genuine apology early that day smoothed that particular hurt over.

Regulus stood up the moment that you walked in. He looked perfect as always. You made a mental note to thank Walburga for driving him crazy over the suit that he was wearing. It made everything about him look ten times better.

“You look beautiful.”

He said before gently kissing your forehead. As much as Regulus wanted to pull you into some long sultry kiss, he decided to wait. It would be funny as hell to watch the expression on James’ face but Regulus didn’t want to get on Fleamont or Euphemia’s bad side. Snogging their daughter right in front of them was probably a bad place to start any kind of potential feelings.

“Thanks. I see why your mother was driving you crazy over the suit. It looks great.”

Regulus smirked.

“You don’t live with her. We should be going.”

Sirius quickly looked up from his place on the couch.

“Watch out for the elf, he bites.”

Regulus turned to his brother with an annoyed expression as he wrapped his hand through yours.

“He bites you because you get on his nerves.”

Sirius looked thoughtful for a moment. Regulus was probably right on that one. He definitely didn’t do many nice things for Kreacher when he lived at home. Sirius loved to annoy the elf and he was good at it. Regulus, however, treated him like some kind of cutsie pet. It was no wonder that Kreacher always preferred Regulus over Sirius.

“Good point. If mum tries to give you Kool-aid, don’t drink it.”

It took all that that Sirius had to not cackle at the expression on your face and the annoyed expression on his brother’s face.

“What are you talking about?”

You asked Sirius. Regulus wrapped his arm around your waist.

“Don’t even ask. He said that same thing to me earlier. I think it's just him talking. We both know how my brother is.”

As you turned to follow Regulus to the door, James jumped up. He had spent the evening feeling guilty over how he had been doing you. James tried to justify it by saying “I want to keep her safe” but even that was failing him. He had been a cold-ass to you and you honestly didn't deserve it for falling in love. You didn’t get upset when he started dating Lily. In fact, you were supportive. Maybe James needed to back off and let you live your own life?

I’ll always be there to pick up the pieces no matter who the lover is…

James meant it too. He didn’t care if the lover was Regulus Black or some other guy...James was your brother and he would take care of you until he was dead.

“Y/n, wait!”

James called as he slid into the foyer. You were halfway out the door as you turned to face your older brother.

“Yes?”

You replied, surprised to see James standing there looking at you with apologetic eyes.

“Be careful.”

James’ comment was simple but the expression on his face oozed sincerity. You smiled.

“I will.”

When you turned your back, you didn’t see the cold expression that James shot at Regulus. His face clearly said,

“If she gets hurt, I am coming after you!”

Regulus fought the urge to chuckle. He turned without an expression in James' direction and followed you outside.

Arriving at 12 Grimmauld Place, Regulus stopped you before he moved to open the door. He looked down at you with those sultry eyes that made your heart pound.

“I haven’t seen you in some time, you know. I’ve missed you.”

You stood on your tiptoes to press a kiss to his lips. Regulus wrapped his arms around your waist to preserve the contact. He didn’t care if there was the very real possibility that one of his bloody relatives could open the door and witness the two of you about to snog. They could stand and watch for all Regulus cared. Regulus had spent the good bit of the past week wanting nothing more than to have your body against his.

“I bet I have missed you more. I’ve been trapped in this house with my parents wanting nothing more than to be with you. You mentioned that your mum put you on muggle birth control?”

You nodded as Regulus titled your head to the side and nuzzled his face against your skin.

“She did. I guess she figured that we were doing things.”

“Well, she isn’t wrong.”

Regulus commented.

“Do you think that we will be able to disappear for a bit?”

You asked. Regulus nodded.

“Easily. My mum will be busy being a show-off. She wouldn’t notice if we disappeared. How about a little preview of what we will be doing later?”

You didn’t have time to respond as Regulus pulled you into a deep hungry kiss. Neither of you was paying the least bit of attention to anything going on around you nor did you notice Bellatrix and Narcissa in the window watching with surprised expressions on their faces.

Both women had been made aware of their cousin finally finding a halfway decent pureblood girl (even if she really wasn’t up to “family” standards) but seeing him snogging on the front steps was a huge shock.

Bellatrix turned to her sister with a grin.

“This will be fun.”
