Sirius Black was sleeping peacefully, basking under the early morning sun when a frantic knocking on their door awoke them. Startled and groggy from sleep they stumbled out of their bed. “Yes? Can I help you?” They said as they pulled on their robes.
“Uh, yes! Your Highness, we have received word that the Crown Prince has not returned from his outing last night. Most of the Royal detectives have been put on his case…. Unfortunately he hasn’t been located yet, it is believed that he was kidnapped and held hostage, we will keep you updated. I am terribly sorry for presenting you with this sad news at such hour, but her Majesty insisted you would prefer the news immediately.” The voice on the other side of the door spoke evenly, not a touch of emotion in their voice.
James is gone.
He was right there yesterday.
But now hes gone.
Gone.
All gone.
Sirius wanted to scream, they wanted to break something. No FUCK no no no. Take me, take me not him please anyone but him. I need him. I need him here I can’t do this without him. If he’s dea- no.. no PLEASE.
“Your Highness? Are you alright?” The voice spoke worriedly.
(CW: Anxiety Attack)
“Uh, yeah, yep I just need a minute to get ready.” Sirius replied, barely forming words. They couldn’t breath. Adrenaline coursed through their veins. They couldn’t breath. Sirius started rubbing their chest in an effort to get air back in their lungs. They sank to the floor, tears streaming down their face. A knock sounded out across the room. “Your Highness, the Queen would like you to meet her in the Dining Hall as soon as possible. Thank you.” A new voice spoke from the door.
(You can resume here)
Sirius hurriedly pulled on the rest of their Royal attire and rushed down to the Dining Hall to find Euphemia Potter and Fleamont Potter, the Queen and Prince Consort of England. “Ah, Sirius my darling. So you have been informed of the James situation I am sure?” Euphemia said, she sounded like she might cry. “Uh ye- Yes I have.” Sirius choked out, barely holding back the tears. “Okay well the Royal Detectives are calling this an attack against the Royal Family and advised more security until they have located James.” Effie spoke again, a tear fell down her cheek, Fleamont grabbed Effie’s hands “It’s going to be okay love, we’ll find him alright? I’m sure he’s fine.” He reassured her. Sirius sat down at his usual seat, looking over at James’ spot at the table, but of course it was empty. “Well Sirius we have decided to get more security based off the recent occasion follow me to meet your new bodyguard.” Sirius’ equerry said as he started to walk towards the door, Sirius trailed behind him.
Once they got to the Convention Room Sirius’ equerry opened the door, standing there was a man with sandy blonde hair and freckles, he looked to be about Sirius’ age, but much taller, he was dressed in a black suit with a white shirt. He also had scars trailing from his face, down his neck and disappearing under his shirt. Sirius studies his face, he had honey brown eyes and a warm tan skin tone. He was absolutely beautiful, Sirius was sure he had never seen someone so beautiful. Sirius was sure he was hallucinating, he looked perfect, if he could Sirius would fight anyone who dared come on a 3 foot radius of this mysterious boy, but he was sure someone so pretty would already have a lover.
“My name is Remus, you Majesty.” Remus huh? So he even has a hot ass name? NO NO NO WAIT NO. Dude your best friend is missing and you’re think about hooking up with your new bodyguard? What kind of friend are you? “It’s Your Highness. Your Majesty is reserved for the King and Queen only.” Sirius said, barely able to form words properly.
“I am deeply sorry Your Highness. It won’t happen again.” Remus replied while bowing slightly. When he stood up again they locked eyes. Sirius couldn’t move, nor did he want to. He could stand like that forever, just staring into Remus’ eyes. The equerry coughed and, Sirius snapped from his trance. Oh my god. I’m not going to last a week without the dire need to shag this man taking over. How are men like HIM allowed to be in public, they’re a safety hazard with how hot he his. “ Right ahh, it’s fine, just Sirius would be nice though.” He replied. His equerry glared at him at this, and Sirius glared straight back. “I don’t think I’m-” “I give you full permission to use my name instead of my title.” Sirius spoke fast cutting Remus off. “Oh” Remus said so lightly, “of course You- Sirius.”.
The next few minutes consisted of Sirius showing Remus his favourite parts of the castle, to his surprise Remus had remembered all of them.
Soon the night grew late and Sirius got tired. He and Remus headed back to Sirius’ room, they bid farewell to each other and Sirius sat on his bed… thinking about.. Everything. Mostly his family… Mostly James…. And strangely enough he thought of his brother too. Soon he fell asleep, allowing his subconscious to take over. His mind wandering to a certain boy he just met.
