Written In the Stars ⭒ Sirius Black

Chapter Seventeen: Not So Mysterious

Sirius Black!

Sirius fucking Black!

She could have kissed anyone... ANYONE in the entire school. But no, she kisses her best friend!

"Moony with me now!" Opal said, grabbing Remus' arm, accidentally spilling his ink pot over the sofa.

"That was my last pot." he sighed as she dragged him out of the common room, she found a deserted broom closet using the silencing charm to cover their voices.

"Oh, this is some freaky shit that I am not into, Opal-"

"It was Sirius!"

"What was serious?"

"I kissed Sirius!" she exclaimed.

"Oh, you finally figured it out."

"How are you so calm!?"

"I didn't kiss him." he shrugged.

"Does he know it was me?"

"Probably not."

She rubbed her face in confusion. "How could I kiss him and not know it was him!"

"James kissed him too."

 
"As a dare!"

"Just pretend it didn't happen, he doesn't even know." Remus said, picking at a thread on his jumper. "Plus he's not even told any of us that he kissed anyone so..."

Opal sighed.

"Hey, you know what he's like. He kisses and forgets that's his thing, that's why every bloody girl is crushing on him. There's no need to stress about him, he was probably drunk anyway... I was." he patted her shoulder before heading back into the common room.

Opal followed a few seconds behind him, Sirius was chanting. "Mermaid won!"

She looked at him, his grey eyes stood out more, his hair swooped over and his grin lit up giving her butterflies.

"Yeah, sure the mermaid wins. I don't care." Opal said, walking up to her dorm, she flopped down on her bed.

Fuck.

I have a crush on Sirius Black.

☆★☆★☆

Opal stayed in her dorm all day, refusing to go to dinner wanting to avoid Sirius, she half regretted this as her stomach growled loudly.

"Opal?" Lily pulled apart the curtains covering the bed. "Hey, Remus told me you know it's Sirius." Opal sat up on her bed, holding a pillow close to her chest. "You just going to sit here and avoid him?"

 
"Yup."

Lily tilted her head. "Really?"

Opal felt like she was going to throw up the butterflies in her stomach that were still fluttering.

"I don't want to have a crush on him, I've known him since he was eleven-"

"Wait, wait. You have a crush on him?"

Opal laid back, not responding to her.

"Opal?"

"Yes. I have a crush on my best friend."

"Oh my gosh! I have to get you two together!"

"No no no! There is no way I am dating Sirius."

 
"I will call it operation Serious." she gasped. "Project Stargem, get it because your names, Sirius equals star, Opal equals gem."
