My Everything 2

It was all Sirius' fault.

You see James Potter has been-for lack of a better word-silently pining after Severus Snape for the past three years. He isn't entirely sure when his infatuation with the raven haired Slytherin started exactly, he just knows that it's been getting worse with every year that passed. But he hid it well, so well that the entire school – including his best friends – was under the impression that he hated Severus Snape but was hopelessly in love with his best friend Lily Evans and was therefore silently pining after her.

A condition that Sirius decided needed to be remedied with immediate effect.

So, for the first time since he first arrived at Hogwarts Sirius willingly went to the library to do some research on ways to relieve his friend of his situation. Eventually somehow Sirius found himself in the restricted section of the library where he found a very helpful looking book on spells and charms. From there on he stumbled on a charm that seemed to be exactly what he needed to help his best friend out.

See Sirius had thought the spell was a charm that could be used to reveal emotional connections, like whether or not someone had feelings for someone else. In other words, whether or not Lily Evans really liked James and was just pretending that she found him to be the most insufferable creature on the face of this earth.

Unfortunately, Sirius was only partly right.

Not only was Sirius partially wrong but his execution of the spell was absolutely atrocious and the spell that was meant to hit Lily Evans ended up hitting his best mate instead. Which probably wouldn't be so bad since the entire school already knew of James' affections for the redheaded girl. But again, Sirius was only partly correct in his assumptions on exactly what the spell he'd found in a mysterious book in the restricted section of the library and decided to use without any real practice actually did.

Along with his assumptions on exactly who it was that James fancied.

At first nothing happened.

They were sitting in class at the time, double potions with Slytherin. James was sitting next to Moony a few seats ahead of him and Peter just a few seats behind where Evans sat in her usual spot beside Snape.

At first nothing happened.

Sirius was partly relieved since that meant that his poor aim hadn't harmed his best friend in some way and partly annoyed since he'd wanted to see exactly what kind of effect the spell would have. He would get to see what effect the spell had the next morning.

It was early, but Remus was already buzzing around their room getting his books and notes ready for their classes. Sirius had just stumbled out of bed, his hair a complete mess as he dragged or attempted to drag his hand through the tangles and let out a wide yawn, sleepy grey eyes wandering over the room.

"Where's Wormtail?" he asked, not even bothering with a greeting as the werewolf walked by the bed. Remus sighed.

"He went home, remember? His grandmother's hundredth birthday is coming up so he'll be gone for the week."

"Right." Sirius said tiredly with a frown, "How is that fair though? Wormtail gets the week off because it's his nan's birthday but we have to suffer through potions and Binns unending lectures."

Remus only rolled his eyes, "Speaking of Binns, we have History of Magic first. You should be getting ready for lessons."

Sirius groaned as he fell back on his bed and Remus went back over to his own to check his bag, "I'm not letting you and James use my notes like last time."
