The next day, a Wednesday. There was gossip going around the prank done on filch. The whole school thought 'Potter and Black' as in Sirius and James. Little did they know it was the other Black brother.

It was Wednesday morning, at the Gryffindor table, with the Maurauders.

"Hey Prongs, i wasnt with you when you did that prank yesterday, so why did filch say 'Potter and Black'?" asked Sirius, in confusion, while putting his hand on a blushing Remus' thigh.

While Remus was trying to ignore the effect it had on him by burying his head in a book, while Peter was talking with Mary Mcdonald, who was sitting next to him.

"Oh, it wasnt you, alright." James smirked, remembering the prank and how much fun he had the previous day.

"Wh- oh! Dont tell me its who i think it is!" Sirius said excitedly a big smile on his face.

"Who are you thinking about?" James asked still smirking, picking up a goblet of pumkin juice and taking a sip.

"Was it my brother?!" Sirius whisper shouted, looking like a kid on christmas, smile getting bigger by the minute. "My brother, Regulus Arcturus Black the II, pranking and going against Wulburgur and Onion?!"

"Yes, it was. And he's a bloody good prankster at that." James said shaking his head with a small smile, thinking about his 'friend with benefits'. "Who knew?" he added.

"Even I didnt know!" Sirius said, suddenly looking offended, "He never told me he was a prankster at heart!"

While Sirius kept going on about how offended he was that Regulus hadn't told him he was a prankster, James wanted to tell his bestfriend a thought lingering in his mind.

"Sirius?" James said, suddenly going serious.

Sirius strightened up, because James never calls him by his name unless its serious.

"Yeah? Is something wrong?" Sirius asked, a concerned frown on his lips.

"Can i ask you a question?" James said, suddenly looking very nervous and clammy.

"Yeah" Sirius said with and encouraging nod, silently telling him to continue.

There was a small silence, James hasn't said anything yet, and Sirius was getting impatient with every second of it.

"Well?" he asked impatiently, eager to find out whats making his friend so nervous.

"How do you know if you like a guy?" James blurt out with one breath, extremely quickly.

"What? I didnt catch that?" Sirius asked again, confused on what was making James look so nervous.

"How do you know if you like a guy?" James asked, this time slower.

"Well..." Sirius paused, thinking of what to say to help his friend.

"Do you feel butterflies in your stomach when they smile at you?" Sirius quizzed.

"Yes." James answered blushing slightly, thinking of a certain slytherin.

"Do you feel like you want to spend all of your free time with them?" Sirius asked.

"Yes" answered James, a small smile crawling its way on his face, blush still there.

"Do you want to know every single little thing about them? Even the stupid things?" Sirius asked.

"..Yes" James answered, his blush becoming more visible.

"Well, to me it looks like you've got a crush!" said Sirius with a teasing smile.
