Wolfstar || Everything but straight

CHAPTER •°• nineteen

   THE NEXT DAY, after the lessons Sirius was sitting alone in his dormitory. James was on a date with Lily, Peter disappeared somewhere, and Remus...

Black didn't think Moony had any plans, but when he realised that the two of them were left alone, he muttered something about the library and went out.

Sirius wanted to stop him, wanted to explain everything to him, but then he resigned. First, he was just afraid, and second, he thought that it was better for Remus to come and talk to him, not the other way round.

Or, at least, it was better for him to wait longer than a day. And besides, Sirius already saw Regulus that day and he noticed how his younger brother was looking at him.

Like he was suspecting something. Perhaps it meant nothing, Regulus always looked like that, but from the other side... what if he actually knew?

Sirius wasn't sure, but anyway, wondering about it took him all Charms and half of the Herbology. Then he got too weary to keep thinking about it and he finally let go of the topic.

But still, it made him even more careful and hesitant about talking to Remus than before. Maybe it was just his paranoia, but maybe not. Maybe Regulus, or some other Slytherins, actually knew something. Or suspected something, or...

Luckily, Sirius didn't get to get deeper into that, because just then the door to the dormitory flew open and Maggie barged in.

Black shuddered, startled and before she could even address the reason why she came, he jumped up at his feet and said loudly.

"White!" He shouted. "You can't just keep barging in here like that!" He took a deep breath in order to calm his racing heart. "We are not together anymore." He reminded her firmly and Maggie only rolled her eyes.

"Un-white." She mocked him with her most annoying voice. "It's not like anyone else is here." She decided and then suddenly took off her shirt.

Sirius made an inarticulate sound and asked confused, with a loud, shocked voice.

"What drugs are you on?!" He shouted and Maggie only rolled her eyes and then raised her right hand up.

"Look." She ordered firmly and Sirius frowned even deeper, more confused than before.

Under Maggie's right armpit there was something dark that looked like a very thin line of unshaved hair.

"What, you want to gross me out with your unshaved armpit?" Sirius asked and Maggie huffed, irritated. "I mean it kinda works, it looks disgusting and I think you should really shave it off."

"Don't be a smartass, you wouldn't know how a shaved armpit looks like, if it wasn't for me." She said and for a moment put her hand down.

"Excuse me." Said Sirius. "As I remember, I showed you how to shave it off so there's no hair left." He bragged and Maggie only moved closer to him, raising her hand back up.

At first Sirius moved away in fake disgust and also, even deeper confusion, but then, when he looked at Maggie's armpit he finally saw that.

It wasn't hair under her armpit.

It was a soulmate mark.

Sirius gasped loudly and got to Maggie within a second. He slightly caught her arm and leaned in so he could read the text on her armpit.

"Not as easy as you are." He read out loud and after a few seconds of processing, he started to laugh loudly.

He moved away from Maggie and had to sit on his bed in order not to fall down on the floor.
 
The Hufflepuff was just looking at him with a disappointed expression.
