title:  Denying your feelings for a certain Sirius Black goes horribly wrong upon the announcement of Professor Slughorn's next party

word count: 1608

----

It was nearly the end of the year and you were sprawled out on the grass with your friend, Lily Evans. The two of you were laughing about the bold and hilarious ways in which James Potter had attempted to get Lily to invite him to Slughorn's next party. James wasn't part of the so-called Slug Club, but he clearly wanted to be the one to take her. She was warming to him but she'd still refused his proposals. She was going with some Ravenclaw from 7th year, though you were in the 6th. The fact that Lily already had a date did not seem to deter James in the slightest. 

"So... who are you going with?" Lily asked. 

"There's no one I like at the moment." 

"What about Sirius?"

You tried to make your voice as casual as possible, looking down and picking at a blade grass to avoid Lily's inquisitive green eyes. 

"What about him?

She furrowed her brow, confused,

"I thought you said you fancied him."

"Ugh, don't use that word around me. Fancied." You pulled a face, before adding, "And I did like him, but that was months ago. We're barely even friends.  Besides, he's got half of the school swooning over him."

 You glance up in his direction. He was sat with James a little distance away, a group of giggling students just a few feet behind them, clearly whispering about them. The boys were oblivious, of course. Or maybe they were just used to it. 

You shook your head disapprovingly.

"I'll just go to the party alone. It's fine." 

And it was fine. You wouldn't mind going on your own, but that didn't stop you thinking about how it would be nice to go with Sirius. You imagined dancing with him for the whole evening. For a minute you forgot about Lily entirely. She broke your train of thought by saying, 

"Y/N? You do realise you're still staring at Sirius right?"

 You blushed and laughed awkwardly, turning away. Lily gave you a look.

"You're supposed to cut the roots before you put them in," You snapped at Sirius. It was your Potions lesson and Slughorn had paired you together. Everyone knew that was a mistake.

"Is it supposed to be smoking like that? Did we do something wrong?" He was craning over the cauldron, which was now emitting a thick plume of grey.

"No, we did everything perfectly. That's why it smells like a dead raccoon," you said sarcastically, pulling a face at the rancid smell. Pushing him aside you muttered a spell to empty the cauldron.

"We're starting again. And this time, do everything as I say," you commanded, getting out some new roots. He smirked and saluted you,

"Yes ma'am."

Glowering at him you began to slice the roots furiously. You flinched as the knife slipped and cut your forefinger. Lifting your hand to examine it, a bead of red bloomed on your fingertip. Before you could react he gripped your wrist and put the cut up to his mouth, intending to suck the blood off. What the hell? A smug expression rested on his face as he blinked at you slowly, raising his eyebrow seductively. You snatched your hand back,
