=====================

You and Sirius giggled while you watched Professor Flitwick running around as he struggled to wrangle some loose pixies. You were both currently having a picnic up in the Astronomy tower. It used to be a sporadic tradition for the five Marauders to do so every now and then. But since James and Remus were now in relationships and Peter was halfway there, the pair of you decided to go ahead and just have it alone together anyway. The same way you were pushed to do most things nowadays since neither of you were in relationships.

"Remember when we convinced Wormtail to down a packet of these?" you said, holding up some Black Pepper Imps. Sirius laughed.

"Yeah, course! The steam was coming out of his nose for hours" he recalled whilst still laughing. The pair of you continued to chat for a little longer when Sirius pointed out a duo of familiar figures walking across the grounds down below.

"Oi! Potter!" you called out. Sirius craned his neck slightly while grinning. Meanwhile James and Lily turned around and looked up. "Keep those hands where we can see 'em!"

Whilst he was a good distance away you could tell he flipped you off in response before he wrapped his arm around Lily once more. You giggled and leaned back, admiring how sweet the pair of them were together.

"I'm glad he's happy. Moony and Wormtail too" you commented whilst Sirius seemed to consider your words.

"Yeah, it's good for them" he said, though seemingly a little disappointed.

"Oh come on. I know I'm not Prongs but I thought we still have fun together" you teased and nudged him.

"Yeah we do. It's not that anyway" he defended chuckling slightly as he laid back to lean on his elbow.

"What is it then?" you asked since he didn't elaborate.

"I guess I just wonder sometimes. Moony and Prongs both seem to have found 'the one' already. It happened quicker than I thought. Maybe I should be looking for someone to settle down with now too"

"I don't think going out of your way to look really works" you responded carefully. "I think you have to just let it come as it will. And then when the right person comes along, you'll know" 

"Hm, how heartfelt. You see that's where Prongs would've just thrown something at me and just told me to shut up" he commented. You dug your hand into the Bertie Bott's box and threw a handful of beans at him.

"Shut up"

He chuckled and picked off one that had landed in a crease of his shirt. He ate it and instantly cringed.

"Urgh. Firewood" he stated as he swallowed it. You laughed at him before looking forward again to see James and Lily share a short but sweet kiss. You cocked your head to the side, ignoring the sounds of Sirius still getting over the bad taste in his mouth from beside you.

Was he maybe right? With things so unstable in the world right now should you maybe try and fasten the process of finding your life partner?

Trying not to think about about it too much, you went to grab a chocolate frog but unfortunately Sirius did the same. It was the last one and when you realised this you both shared a look.
