You stood there, completely dumbfounded at the man standing in front of you. Had he grown taller since you last saw him? Was it possible that he'd gotten even more handsome? You shook the thoughts from your head, trying to find the right words to say.

"Sirius. What're you doing here?" You questioned, your gaze falling to the small gift box in his hand.

"Can I come in?" He didn't wait for your response, stepping right past you and into your home.

"Oh, sure, make yourself at home." You mumbled, rolling your eyes and shutting the front door.

"We need to talk."

"Do we really? Cause I was having a good day, and I didn't need this to ruin it." You said, crossing your arms across your chest.

"We should sit." He spoke, ignoring your comment. He pulled out a chair from your kitchen table, sitting down.

You sighed, reluctantly going over and sitting across from him. "What's this about?"

"Oh, come on, don't tell me you didn't expect this." He set the box down on the table, settling into his seat.

"What, expect you to barge into my home unannounced?"

"Your birthday is only a few days away." He said, slightly quieter than his previous words.

"Yeah, and? Are you upset that you weren't invited?"

"You're turning twenty-five."

"I know that. What's so important about that?".

He picked the box up, opening it to reveal an engagement ring. You couldn't deny that it was beautiful; the hexagonal onyx stone in the middle paired perfectly with the silver band. You could tell that he had picked it himself, as it was absolutely his style.

"We have to get married." He responded, offering you the box.

"Excuse me?"

"We made a promise, Y/n. We said that if we both weren't in relationships by this time, we'd marry each other."

"That was a stupid thing we agreed on as teenagers! I don't even know you anymore." You said, pushing the ring box away.

"We made an unbreakable vow. Don't you remember?" He ignored the hurt that he felt, realising that you had forgotten all about it. He hadn't gone a single day without thinking about it, or you.

The awareness hit you. You had always tried your best to forget your memories with Sirius, and it had been successful in many ways. You hadn't remembered your vow until just now, and a chill ran down your spine as you recalled the events from that night years ago.

He spoke again, this time softer than before. "Look, I understand that this isn't what you want, but we don't have a choice. It has to be done. And trust me, I don't want this either."

You glanced between the ring box and him, nodding slowly. "I suppose marrying you is better than death."

He couldn't help but smile slightly, taking the ring out of the box. He took your hand, gently slipping it onto your ring finger. "I know this is a bit tough, but we can make it work."

"I hope so."

The next day, Remus came over for your weekly movie night and you immediately bombarded him with information about last night's events.

"...I'm sorry, Y/n. I know this must be so weird for you."

You nodded, sighing and rubbing your temples. "I don't want to marry him, Remus."

"You loved each other once, who says you can't do it again?" He spoke, looking at you uncertainly. "You know, he asks about you everyday. He never stopped loving you, even after everything that happened. I know that it must pain him to have to reunite with you on such tense terms, considering the fact that he's been trying to find the courage to speak with you for years."

"He doesn't love me, Remus. He just doesn't want to die."'

"We'll see about that."
