What?
Fine, we can talk
You’re blowing up my phone.
Lily is convinced we’re madly in love and keeps giving me falsely compassionate knowing glances.
I swear she’s writing an AO3 fanfic about us.
See, totally meant to be
No pressure or anything.
Youd make an adorable boyfriend
Stop trying to make me blush.
You don’t even know what I look like.
well i know your personality is adorable and thats enough for me
embarrasing u gives my life meaning
Was there a point to us talking other than you flirting?
Because if not I can go play Scrabble with Lils as intended.
my god youre so pure and cute
But i wanted to play 20 questions
Sure I guess.
I mean, I’m already out to you so it’s not like I have any good secrets.
Just don’t make all the questions related to romance.
fiiiiiine
Wanna go first?
k
Fav color?
Either midnight blue or that like old book burgundy
nice
mines black
Like your hair, soul, last name, and coffee preference, right?
so you admit my soul is black
Not at all, I’m imitating you.
cue the indignant noises
Favorite animal?
dog I think, since its my spirit animal and nickname source
especially those huskies that are su fluffy and happy
with the heterocroma
*Heterochromia
whatev
whats your spirit animal?
All my friends say a wolf, but I’m not sure I agree. I’m not very fierce or dangerous. But I surround myself with a group of friends kinda like a pack and I’m very protective of them, so…
I don’t like wolves, so I just can’t really see myself in them. But I don’t know what I’d be if not a wolf.
When did you come out?
Well, are you out?
yes im out
i first kissed a boy when i was fourteen, but i didnt come out until last year
are you the same year as me (sophomore)
Yes I’m a soph. I said I was 15, didn’t I?
well yeah but you could still be an older freshie i think
Who was that boy you said you first kissed?
hmm
i thought you didnt want romance questions moony
Sorry, I’m curious
no need to apologize
his name was Zach Smith
The Ravenclaw, right? I know him. He’s cute.
i thought i was the only one for you Moony!
How could you
Chill, I like you better ;)
Sirius felt his pulse stop for an instant. Had Moony flirted back?
Oh my gods I did not just use the winky face.
You’re a bad influence.
Ignore me.
What’s your next question?
Hah, he wished.
if you can ask romance questions so can i
Uh oh.
are you a virgin
Yeah.
Do I even need to ask about you?
No, I do not.
damn right im not a virgin ;)
Ugh not the winky face.
yes the winky face!
next quwstion
can you tell me more about your other friends, im curious
Sure.
I room with Frank Longbottom and Jacob Finnegan. Frank’s very nice (although his side of the room is a hazard zone) and I’m also close with his girlfriend Alice Fortesque. She’s very into photography and nature.
Lily, obv. I like to study with Lily’s girlfriends, Dorcas Meadowes and Mary MacDonald.
Dorcas is a Ravenclaw, she’s whip smart and we share taste in books.
Mary is kind of the house flirt, she’s snogged practically everyone and she’s quite gossipy, but good fun.
Last but not least, Peter’s younger brother Matthew Pettigrew in the year below us. He knows every secret passage in the school, and although quite mischievous, very kindhearted.
i didnt ask for an essay moony wow
You asked about my friends. I only said like a sentence about each, my gods.
You cant expect me to be good at reading, moons
Um, yes I can, you’re in high school.
why must you always prove me wrong
It’s cute when you get flustered.
Sirius felt his usually neutral (or smirking) face warm to a pink visible even in the dim light coming from his phone and he smiled softly. He was outside the dorms for once, in one of the courtyards. The March sky was fading quickly to dusky indigo and the only remaining evidence of sunlight were the candy floss pink clouds.
im not blushing.
Of course not.
And I’m not laughing at you.
whats your next question?
It’s a little personal, I hope you don’t mind.
fire away
You can always not answer.
But I was wondering what your parents’ reactions were when you came out? You mentioned a while back that they were kinda awful so I was wondering if you were doing okay.
your concern warms my heart moons
it might take me a while to type this but know im not ignoring the question.
Take as long as you need.
They took it pretty badly. you should know our family, the Blacks, is like known for being rich and powerful and stuff. i was ‘the heir.’ i guess this means that if i had followed in their footsteps and married wealthy, gone to college, found a good career, i would have received most of the familys money? it was never very clear. but so i came out when i was 15. they were pretty pissed off. i was like the first to openly defy them, apparently.
some of my cousins, Cissy and Andy had been pretty against the family ideas, but they had follwed along, married decent people and got the hell out. well, andy married someone poor and was disowned, but she was the youngest of the three cousins (Andromeda, Narcissa, and Bellatrix), so the family could cover it up and pretend to forget about her.
but my parents hit the roof. they have all these beliefs about marrying influential wealthy people and passing on all the family money. basically they think theyre better than everyone else because of being rich christians. So they were very furious. said i disowned the family, tarnished our name, told me never to darken their doorstep again. then they slapped me and kicked me out. they had actually pretty often resorted to physical abuse when i wasnt being Black enough for their liking, so i was mostly relieved to be gone.
the thing is that my little brother Reg is still in that poisonous household. he always tried to be less rebellious than me, but sometimes i was afraid he had been corrupted, that he actually believed their shit about wealth. Im still worried for him.
Fuck.
You’re really brave, Sirius.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that.
i guess the important thing for me is that its a chapter of my life thats closed, and i never have to go back. Jamies folks took me in and they were everything my parents werent. I owe him so much
Its a good thing there are people like him in your life.
Yeah. im thankful to you too, actuallt. Youve been nothing but kind with me and its made me really happy.
I’m glad I can help. Although I disagree with the kindness thing, I’ve been kinda irritating.
ive been a lot worse so you cant talk
So um what were your folks like when you came out?
They were basically what I was expecting. Kinda awkward for a while, like they thought it meant something had changed even though it hadn’t. I think we were all kind of relieved when I went back to boarding school.
Thats too bad
Shush. I don’t want your sympathy when you went through ten times worse than what I did. You’re very strong.
dont you shush me young man
I am the supreme shusher. I can shush whomever I choose.
i will not be shushed
🤫🤫🤫
did moony send me a kiss?
It’s a shushing emoji, you neanderthal.
i dont even know what that is
Oh my gods.
A caveman.
so rude
but siriusly thanks
I only told jamie and pete and you about my family issues. i feel a little foolish telling you so much after only a few weeks, but it seems kinda natural i guess.
I’m glad you feel you can trust me.
thanks. for everything
Of course. Night, Padfoot
