Chapter 4
Sirius P.O.V
8:17 p.m
After cleaning the broken glass off the floor, I helped Peter carry all the snacks he bought from Honeydukes. I was surprised that he didn't eat them all already.
"How the fuck does this thing turn on?" James asked, flicking his wand at the Television Y/n bought for him last Christmas.
"James, you've had this T.V for nearly a year now and you still haven't figured out that you need this to turn it on?" She asked, throwing him the remote.
"He has no experience in turning a woman on, how do you except him to turn on a television?" Remus asked, smirking at James.
Peter burst out into laughter and I couldn't help but laugh as well.
“Damn Moony.” Y/n said, high-fiving Remus.
"This is some weird muggle shit and I don't trust it!" He squealed, holding the remote up with two fingers like it was going to bite him.
Y/n rolled her eyes and her eyelashes touched the bottom of her eyebrows.
"It's just a remote, Prongs. Nothing to be scared of, brave Gryffindor." She replied in a dramatic voice.
I let out a quiet chuckle and leaned back on the couch. I felt a warm sensation in my stomach as I watched her bicker with James. Y/n is shorter than James and I, but that has never stopped her from putting us both in our place. Sometimes I wonder how so many snarky and sarcastic comments can come out of such a cute girl.
My thoughts were interrupted by a loud thump thump, thump thump that was pounding through my chest. I placed my palm over my clothed chest and a smile formed on my lips as my eyes followed her around the room. Sadly, that smile faded away quickly as my thoughts took me back to the fight we had almost a year ago.
How could I have been so stupid?
So reckless?
She was one of my best friends. She cared for me. She was always there by my side and how do I repay her? By disappointing and hurting her. But what can I say, I am a Black after all. It runs in the family, I suppose.
I shut my eyes and shook my head, trying to get rid of these disturbing thoughts. Right now, I am safe and sitting in a warm house surrounded by my best friends. That's all that matters.
I opened my eyes when I heard a muggle song play loudly.
"See Prongs, it wasn't that difficult now was it?" Y/n asked, looking up at James.
"So...the red button means... on?" James asked, pointing at the remote.
Peter giggled at the scene in front of him and shoved another cauldron cake in his mouth.
Y/n threw her head back in frustration.
"Merlin, you're hopeless." Remus said, sitting down on the couch.
"Good thing my future wife Lilly will know how to use this thing properly." James said, standing up. He then extended his arm out to Y/n.
"Keep dreaming, buddy." She smiled, taking James's hand so he could her stand up.
I instantly felt nervous when she turned to look at me. She smiled sweetly and sat down next to me.
"How are you feeling?" She asked quietly.
"Way better." ...now that you're next to me.
I couldn't find the courage within myself to say that last bit. I mentally kicked myself. Some Gryffindor you are.
"Okay!" James said happily, while taking a seat on the couch next to Peter.
"Shall we get the movie started? Preferably before Moony inhales all the chocolate." James said, snatching a chocolate frog out of Remus's hand and shoved it in his mouth.
Y/n laughed and grabbed the remote.
"I can't believe you've never seen Mamma Mia before."
