summary/prompt: Sirius Black x reader, none (once a pt. 2 is posted this will be moved to the series section)warning(s): none really, just cursing


It had been four days.

Four entire days since I had been pranked by the Marauders, or more specifically, Sirius Black. It had to be a record. However, the streak had just been broken as swiftly walked into the Great Hall, anger radiating off me with red goo covering my body. I marched to the Gryffindor table where three of the Marauders sat, Sirius leaning over James and Remus' shoulders to gaze at the newspaper

James laughed behind his hand as he watched the me approach and Sirius slapped his back in joy. Oh, how the Black boy loved teasing me.

"Y/n, looking quite gooey there, did you forget to shower this morning?" Sirius asked with a smile as he straightened out his back.

"That's a shitty insult." I retorted, tilting my head up to meet the boy's gaze.

"Wasn't a shitty prank though, was it?"

I pointed at Sirius, lightly poking his chest, "If you or one of your dimwit friends prank me one more time, I will punch you."

"Do it." He taunted, his smile turning smug.

Typical. Men always thought they knew everything.

I shrugged, "Alright." I turned around, pretending to begin to walk away and rolled my eyes at Sirius' triumphant laugh. I turned around, using my momentum in my fist and in a second Sirius was stumbling back, his hand connected to his nose as blood gushed from it. He looked at me with shock in his eyes and I smiled innocently at him.

"Holy shit." James said as he rushed to his friend's side.

McGonagall marched down the aisle, "Miss L/n, Mr. Black, detention for both of you. Mr. Potter, do bring him to the infirmary, the blood will stain the ground."

"What? Why do I get detention? She punched me!" Sirius asked as James helped him up. McGonagall glared at the boy and he looked down, accepting his fate.

"8 AM tomorrow, my office. I will see you two then."

I tiredly walked into McGonagall's office, yawning the moment I sat in the chair.

"Right on time, Miss L/n. Thank you for your punctuality, a trait your fellow classmate does not possess. Biscuit?"

"Please." I grabbed one of the biscuits and immediately bit into it, savoring the good taste. "Delicious as always."

McGonagall smiled, "Glad to hear it." The door finally opened and Sirius walked in. "Ah, Mr. Black. Five minutes late."

He flashed her a smile as he grabbed a biscuit, "Sorry, Minnie. A lot goes into this beautiful hair every morning."

I snorted, "Yeah, a lot of products."

He touched my hair, "Oh, looks like you still got some goo in your hair. Didn't wash well enough, I guess." I slapped away his hand with a glare.

"Children, tread carefully, you're fixing for another detention. Miss L/n-"

"Yes?"

"Have you not visited the infirmary for your knuckles? Madame Pomfrey could heal your bruises."

"It's alright. I think it looks good, does it not? It's my trophy, proof I made Sirius Black bleed." I winked at him and he rolled his eyes.

"Sadistic bi-"

"I suggest you stop your sentence right there, Mr. Black. Hand me your wands, please." She asked and I pulled it from my bag, handing it over to her awaiting hand."

Sirius shrugged, "Sorry, Minnie. Forgot mine in my dorm. Truly a shame. I could go retrieve it now, I'll be back in just a few moments."

"You and I know perfectly that you will not be returning. And your wand in your robe pocket. Hand it over now, Mr. Black."

He sighed and pulled his wand from his robes, "How do you do that?" She didn't respond. "Seriously! You always know when anyone is lying. It scares me, Minnie."

"Ah, yes, truly terrifying." I mocked, rolling my eyes.

He looked over with a glare, "Are we talking about your face right now? Because if so, I agree. It fuels my nightmares."

"Says you."

"Both of you, be quiet. I expect my classroom to be free of every speck of dust by dinner. Go, children."


"So, L/n." Sirius asked after thirty minutes of cleaning. "You and Greenwood, huh?"

I shook my head, "What?"

"Oh, nothing. Just rumors going around about you and him."\

"What kind of rumors?" I asked and turned to look at him. He was already looking at me intently.

He smiled, "People say you guys are snogging. Maybe even dating. They say you two are in love with each other."

I snorted and turned back around, continuing with my dusting. "That's hilarious."

"Are you?"

"Am I what?"

"In love, dimwit. Are you in love with Greenwood?"

I paused my actions, seriously thinking over the question, "I'd be his, if he asked."

"That didn't answer my question."

I turned around again, "I owe you no answer. I like him, I'm not sure yet if I love him but if I did you would not be the person I tell."

He blew out deeply, "Well, if you want my opinion-"

"I don't." I said. "I have my own."

He ignored me and took a step towards me, "Then I believe you deserve someone better. Someone who would treat you like you hold the world in your hands and the stars in your eyes."

I hesitated, "And who would that be?"

He took another step forward and I tilted my head to meet his gaze. I shuddered as his breath fanned over my face. What is he doing?

He gently placed his hand on my cheek, "You would deserve better, but me. I would treat you like the world in your hands and the stars in your eyes. I would treat you like you have the ocean's vigor in your voice and natures beauty in your mind. I would treat you so much better than he would."

My breath quickened and I took a step back as my mind went into panic mode. I quickly grabbed my bag and robe.

"I'm sorry, Sirius. I just- I can't." I said quickly and walked out of the classroom, deciding I'll pick my wand up from McGonagall's office later.

I raced to the Gryffindor common room and quickly muttered the password.

"L/n, you're back early? Where's Sirius? Did you kill him?" James asked as I passed by him and the other two Marauders, I stopped to look at them, still in shock. James sat comfortable on the sofa as Remus and Peter played chest. Remus looked at me with his brows furrowed.

"Are you alright, Y/n?" Remus asked. Remus and I had always been close, his mom and mine being best friends, it's a shame his friends suck.

"Y-you look like you've seen a ghost." Peter mentioned, also looking at me in worry. Okay, Peter's not that bad. (Not yet.)

"I-" I swallowed and nodded. "I'm fine. Goodbye." I said and walked up the stairs to my dorm.

When I opened the door three heads snapped my way.

"Y/n?" Lily asked.

"You're done with detention already?" Dorcas asked as her girlfriend, Marlene, looked up from her lap.

"Are you alright, babe?"

"What did Sirius do this time?" Lily questioned.

"I think- I think he confessed his love to me?"
