One-Shots

“Oh here comes Sirius,” Lily turned to you and whispered quickly. “Be nice.”

“I am always nice!” You hissed back, feigning hurt. 

Your friend rolled her eyes and Remus elbowed you gently. They knew you weren’t fond of the flavor of the week Sirius had under his arm, of course you never liked any of them. This one though, despised you.

“You all remember Mary?” Sirius smiled, obviously excited at the idea of having his new girlfriend get along with his friends. “She’s coming to Hogsmeade with us!” 

“Let’s go!” 

Remus stayed close by, bumping into your arm every so often as you walked and making jokes that sent your laughter all the way up your group making Sirius fall back and find you. “What’s so funny?”

You were still giggling. “Remus just reminded me of that time I accidentally set off a firecracker in the bathroom and caught a prefect in there.” 

“Well that’s juvenile isn’t it?” The three of you had been laughing when Mary appeared next to Sirius and pulled him to her side and away from you.

He apparently didn’t notice and continued on trying to get her to see the humore in it. “No, it was fun. The prefect was a prick anyway.”

Mary huffed but didn’t say any more. 

“Honeydukes, Zonkos, and The Three Broomsticks?” James called.

“As always!” You replied snaking an arm around Remus’s waist and tugging him along. 

The wind was blowing harder once you got to the village and your friend tried to warm you up the best he could. “Come on!” He yelled to the others after you’d jogged ahead and entered the joke shop. 

While the rest of you were excitedly browsing the stock you caught Mary glaring at the shelves and at Sirius when he found something he particularly enjoyed. “Bundle of fun, isn’t she?” 

“Honestly James, it’s not for me to say.”

“And yet I know you’ll have something to say later.” Once you were all done there you made quick time getting to Honeydukes where you found armfuls of sweets you were excited to have. 

Grabbing your favorites you made sure to get a box of sugar quills for Sirius as well and went to the counter. “You’re not getting him candy, are you?”

Mary stood beside you staring incredulously at the box and then to you. “What are you talking about?”

“Those! You don’t even like them according to Sirius so you have to be buying them for him.” The sugar quills box sat neatly on top of the others and you picked it up.

“You know, you’re right.” There was a smug look on her face as you walked back to the shelf and put the small box back, only to pick up the biggest box they had and walk it back to the shelf. “I’ll take this one instead.”

Mary’s face turned red and she stomped over to Sirius loudly demanding to leave. You felt bad for your friend, he was blindsided by the anger. Walking over you held up your hands in defeat.

“It’s fine, I’m going back to the castle anyway.”

Leaving the store you made way straight to the castle not hearing the footsteps behind you. “Y/N!”

Turning you found someone coming up behind you. “Carter, how are you?”

“I’m doing well. Strange to see you without the group, are you alone?”

“Yes, it’s a long story but it seemed they were better off without me today.” You shrugged.

Carter smiled at you. “I doubt that. Could I walk you back to the castle?”

Sirius watched as you and Carter Davies turned the corner on the path and disappeared from sight. “What happened in there?”

Mary looked indignant. “I don’t like her.”

“Well that’s too bad because she’s one of my best friends.”

“I’m not going to be second best Sirius.” Mary crossed her arms. “If you want to continue a relationship with me then you need to tell Y/N to leave you alone.”

Sirius stared, she was actually giving him that ultimatum. “Well then, I think you know your answer already.”

Turning on his heel Sirius followed his friends to The Three Broomsticks settling in the booth. No one mentioned Mary’s sudden absence, or the fact that they had all seen Y/N walk away with someone else. They just let Sirius pout for a bit before getting back to the castle. 

You were lying on the bed reading when Lily and Marlene bounded through the door. “You missed some interesting things.”

“Tell me!”

Lily kicked off her shoes and jumped on your bed crossing her legs like a pretzel. “Sirius broke up with Mary after you left.”

Your mouth dropped open. “Why?!”

“She caused a scene in Honeydukes after you left and we all went outside. Well she decided to tell him it was you or her and Sirius didn’t even have to blink.”

“Wouldn’t we all choose each other over someone we’ve only known for a week?”

“Which brings me to my next point, do you want to tell us why Carter Davies ran after you when you left Honeydukes?”

Lily had a way of phrasing things to make them sound worse than they really were. “He said he was on his way back and figured we could walk together so he ran to catch up. That’s all.”

‘No, Y/N.” Marlene leaned against the post of your bed. “He left his friends and ran after you.”

Sorry.

The note sat under the giant box of candy on Sirius’s bed. He knew it was from you, and he knew what it meant. 

“When are you going to finally see it mate?”

“See what?”

James threw a shirt. “Don’t be daft! You know exactly what I mean.”

Sirius had known for awhile, but hadn’t said anything because if he did then it was real. If he said it out loud then James would tell Lily who would tell you and then he would have to face the realization that your relationship was never going to be the same.

“What happens if I don’t?”

The group walked into the Great Hall together as always, Sirius with his arm draped over your shoulders. It was a common sight, even if he was in a relationship he would walk with you like this. Most of his girlfriends understood, they had seen the two of you like this since first year, it was more worrisome when the two of you didn’t walk around like that. 

Today though, Mary and her Ravenclaw friends glared at the group walking past. No doubt Mary had told everyone about how Sirius dumped her for you and how you ruined their relationship. The only Ravenclaw you saw that seemed to be smiling was Carter who waved to you with a smile. 

“Want to tell me what that’s about?”  Sirius was whispering in your ear but the height difference made it easy for him to see how Davies reacted. 

“It’s nothing.” You said taking the seat across from him. 

The next week was filled with both of you staring at each other and looking away before either would notice. Which only annoyed your friends who decided it was time to take action.

“Meet us in the kitchens later? We’re going to sneak down and raid it for midnight snacks.” You nodded to Peter and he scurried to the other side of the common room while everyone else got up and left. 

At midnight you tiptoed down the stairs watching as Sirius was about to leave too. “Hey, wait up!” 

You jumped on his back and he easily carried you down the corridor only setting you down at the stairs. “I thought everyone else would wait for us.”

“Do you have the map?”

“Nah, James must’ve nicked it before he left.” Sirius shook his head not understanding why they were doing this. “Besides, it’s more fun this way isn’t it?”

Suppressing a giggle you ignored the eyebrow waggle he had done, Sirius lived for the rush that much was clear. 

“Wait.” You stopped short and looked up to see someone about to turn the corner, their wand lighting up the area. “Quick, in here!” 

Sirius grabbed your hand and pulled you to the nearest room which just happened to be a broom cupboard. There was just enough space for the two of you to squeeze in and close the door quietly, a knot in the wood giving the perfect view of how much light was in the corridor outside. 

“Stop.” His voice was pained almost and Sirius grabbed your hip. “Please stop moving.”

About to ask whether you were hurting him or not you realized what was actually bothering him. “You want me to stop doing this?” The smallest shift in your balance and he was groaning, a thump told you he threw his head back. “Ooooor this?” 

“I’m warning you Y/N.” It was a whisper, unconfident and nervous. “Please.”

“I like it when you beg.” 

Slowly you rose on your tiptoes making sure your body was brushing against his as you did so and wrapping an arm around his shoulders. Sirius was about to say something, probably to ask what it was you were doing but instead moved to brush his lips against yours. You moved to try and capture the kiss but he pulled away just out of reach. “Tell me you want this?”

“It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted.”

He hoisted you up so your legs wrapped around his hips and your back was against the wall, one hand holding onto your thigh while the other cupped your cheek, and he kissed you.

Merlin, did he kiss you. 

Pressing his body against yours Sirius moaned into your mouth and you started rolling your hips slightly, he became more frenzied with every passing moment needing to touch every part of you that he could. 

Six years of flirting and dancing around each other, finally the two of you were admitting what you had wanted all along.

“That was easier than I thought it would be.” Remus said, looking over James’s shoulder at the map and watching the two of you stay exactly where you were.
