Of All The Stars: Sirius Black

𝓟𝓪𝓻𝓽 𝓣𝓱𝓲𝓻𝓽𝔂

The month of January was slowly coming to an end, and the group was busy with classes. Remus wasn't feeling too well, and had been in and out of the hospital wing all week. Estelle was becoming increasingly nervous, he didn't seem to be getting any better.

 Although Remus was ill like this often, it didn't make the group feel any better.  He was regularly missing class, and spending a lot less time with the group. 

"He must really be feeling ill, huh?" Estelle asked James, as they walked towards the Great Hall. 

"Yeah.. He doesn't even want anyone visiting." James said, trying to keep his face calm.

They walked along in silence, until Sirius, Peter and Marlene came into view. They were standing by the  door to the Great Hall, waiting for the two of them.

"Where is Lily?" James asked, as they got closer to them.

Marlene rolled her eyes, glancing behind her and down the hall. James and Estelle looked around her, to see Lily standing there. With Severus.

James let out a loud groan of annoyance, narrowing his eyes in disgust. "What a waste of space that slug is." 

"Thats a bit much, mate." Marlene said, crossing her arms.

"He is a ball of grease who is obsessed with Lily, yet sneaking around with a bunch of scum who don't even think she has a place in our world, let alone this school. The hypocrisy is baffling, and I wish Lily could just see it." James said, storming into the Great Hall.

"Great, now baby is having a tantrum." Sirius said, following him in with Peter at his heels.

Marlene and Estelle waited for Lily to finish her conversation, before Severus and her started to walk towards him.

"Oh fuck, he's coming with her." Marlene whispered through gritted teeth.

"Shut up." Estelle whispered back. "Hey Lil." She added, clearing her throat. "Severus." She nodded in his direction.

He didn't say anything back, just looked down at Lily and walked off. 

"What an ass." Marlene said, shaking her head.

"Marlene, that's enough." Lily said frowning, "He is having a hard time, apparently James and Sirius ganged up on him yesterday." Her frown turning into a look of ager.

The three girls made their way into the Great Hall, taking a seat at the Gryffindor table. Lily sat in silence as the boys animatedly talked about how James had attempted to summon Sirius underwear directly off of him. Which failed miserably, he ended up nearly shredding Sirius' clothes from the waist down.

"That is absolutely ridiculous." Estelle said, shaking her head at James. 

"We do what we can to continue to surprise you with our foolishness Stella." James replied, a cheeky smirk on his face. He winked at Lily before taking a large sip of Pumpkin juice.

"So, it's Friday lads. What do we have planned?" Marlene asked, leaning towards the group with a hushed tone.

"Well, we have a fun little prank planned." Sirius said, and Marlene groaned. She was never the prankster, just tagged along for something to do.

"Marlene, we agreed to help Alice pick a date outfit for tomorrow." Lily said, swatting at her shoulder.

Estelle scoffed, looking at the two girls. "Why was I not invited?" 

"Alices has a very particular taste in clothing... It's very..erm.. English." Lily mumbled through an awkward smile.

"I don't dress English enough?" Estelle said, raising an eyebrow.
