summary/prompt: Sirius Black x reader, arms by Christina Perriwarning(s): Sirius :)

I never thought that you'd be the one to hold my heart

But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

It was no secret to anyone in Hogwarts that Sirius Black hated Slytherins. He had vowed to himself to never interact with one if not in the circumstance of an argument or prank. He'd honestly say he hated Slytherins more than he loved his best friends, and he would never ever, ever change his mind that they were evil.

Imagine the boy's surprise when he looked up from his food and his eyes momentarily caught sight of the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. Her hair fell perfectly around her face as her eyes shined. She had the most beautiful smile and the cutest nose that scrunched up as she laughed with her friends. Everything about the girl put him in a trance, that was until his world was shook as he saw the color of her tie. How could something so beautiful be associated with something so ugly?

You put your arms around me

And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

You put your arms around me and I'm home

Sirius' body instantly relaxed as a familiar pair of arms wrapped around his torso. Y/n softly kissed in between his shoulder blades and sighed as she relished in his warmth. He dropped the letter he had received from his parents and put his hands upon hers, squeezing gently.

"Hello there, Siri." Y/n greeted, her voice muffled by Sirius' jumper.

He laughed softly, "Hello, love. What's up?"

Sirius felt her shoulders move up in a shrug, "Missed you, is all." She mumbled and his heart warmed. The sorting hat had to have made a mistake because this girl was no Slytherin, she was an angel sent from the heavens.

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around

"I'm sorry, Y/n/n. I just can't do this." Sirius said with tears in his eyes. He watched as the love of his life wiped her own tears off her cheeks and gave him a broken smile.

"Come back to me when you're ready, yeah?"

Sirius shook his head, "It's not like that this time. I'm not coming back."

"You say that every time."

I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

Sirius clutched the chest of his jumped tightly, gritting his teeth in an attempt to keep his sobs silent. His heart felt as it was being choked as the lump in his throat grew. The cool air of the night brushed its fingers through Sirius' hair and he looked to the sky with blurry eyes, resisting the urge to just scream until his lungs gave out.

Trapped in his own bubble, he missed the sound of footsteps walking up the stairs of the astronomy tower. He missed the door opening and the loud thud of an old, hardcover book hitting the ground. All he knew was the moment familiar arms wrapped around his shoulders he broke and he finally let the sobs leave his throat.

I hope that you see right through my walls

I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling

"Hey, what's wrong?" Y/n quietly asked her boyfriend as he silently watched his friends play chess by the fire.

He turned his head with a small smile, "Whatever do you mean, beautiful?"
