Written In the Stars ⭒ Sirius Black

Chapter Sixteen: Pirate Or Mermaid

A few weeks had passed since the birthday incident where they had lost many points but they had been able to gain some back from doing extra errands around the castle.

"Oi Blaze, where is that painting with the smoking hot mermaid?" Sirius called across the common room, he and Peter were tracking places on the map.

"On the fifth floor next to the really hot pirate painting, ugh he's really hot."

"He's not that good looking."

"Um, yes he is." she said defensively as Remus walked past the two.

"Moony, who do you find more attractive? The really hot mermaid or the stupid pirate?"

Remus sighed looking at them. "They are paintings."

"Moony." Opal said, tilting her head.

"Pirate mermaid."

"You have to choose one, you can't choose both."

"Mermaid." Peter said, grabbing a bag of popcorn.

"Yeah, I'm going to go with the mermaid as well." James said, turning to face them. "But if it was between the mermaid and Evans then I would go with-"

"Obviously you boys would go for the mermaid." Opal said, talking over James. "You have to ask girls."

"Oi, Cas!" Sirius shouted, Dorcas nodded in response. "You know the pirate and mermaid on the fifth floor, which one is hotter?"

"The mermaid, what kind of question is that?"

"You have to ask straight girls!" Opal said, glaring at Sirius' smug face.

"Alright, meet me back in half an hour, we'll ask everyone who they think is hotter and then we'll decide from there."

"Fine." Opal said, grabbing a quill and some parchment.

"Hey, you know our OWLS are in two months, I really think you should be studying-" Remus said as the two ran out of the common room. "Or you know, who needs grades."

"Aoife!" Opal said, walking towards her, she was in the courtyard planning the next match in a few days.

"Wings?"

"I have a question."

"No, we cannot transfigure the Slytherins brooms into flamingo's." Aoife replied.

"Dammit, anyway this isn't about that." Opal said, holding up her parchment. "Mermaid or pirate on the fifth floor, which do you find hot?"

"Whichever one is better at Quidditch, did you ask them that?" Aoife said, Opal stared at her until she looked up, sighing. "Fine, pirate because he has legs and can play Quidditch, now go, I'm planning Saturday's match."

Opal walked smiling, she only had a few minutes until she had to meet Sirius back in the common room but she wanted to get a few extra points. She turned the corner and saw her sisters walking down the corridor.

"My favourite sisters!" she said, walking towards them.

"What do you want?" Amethyst asked suspiciously.

"Why would I want something off of my sisters-"

Emerald cut her off. "You only talk to us when you need something, now fess up."

Opal smiled. "The paintings, fifth floor-"

"Mermaid." Emerald said. "Although don't tell Gideon I said that so quickly."

"You ruined my vote, Amethyst?"

"Pirate, he's got good cheekbones."

"You guys are great! See ya." Opal said, walking back up to the common room to count her votes, but before she got to the seventh floor she bumped into Regulus, dropping her parchment and quill on the ground.

"Shit, sorry," he muttered as they both bent down to pick it up.

"It's fine, it's just a stupid tally thing I'm doing with-" she paused as he looked at her, his eyes a soft grey just like... "I kissed you?"

"What?" Regulus asked, his brows furrowed tightly.

"At the ball-"

"I assure you we did not kiss, I didn't even go."

"But you have the same eyes as-" her face dropped, as she realised. He had the same eyes as Sirius. "Fuck."

"You seem like you're going through something... and I'm just gonna... go," he said, walking away.

FUCK!

"Blaze! There you are!" she heard Sirius call from behind her, she turned around quickly, she could feel her face become warmer and redder by the second.

He grabbed the parchment from her hand and started counting, she looked at his eyes, her heart dropping as she realised it was him who she kissed. How could she not realise, her best friend they saw each other everyday— did he know that he had kissed her?

"Blaze? Blaze! Stop ignoring me just because I won the game." Sirius said, wafting his hand in her face.

"Huh?"

"I won, I got one more point than you, see." he showed her his parchment. "Thanks to that weird Trelawny girl from Ravenclaw, she also had this weird prophecy about a rat and some Azkaban shit, probably about Wormy but she's probably lying- Opes, you good?"

"Yeah, yup, fine I just- I need to talk to Remus," she said hurrying away from him.
