You stared at your parchment forlornly. There was only a few inches left, but you had already wrapped up your essay.
"Ugh!" You slumped back on the couch, folding your arms. Ever since you became friends with the Marauders, you spent a fair amount of time in the Gryffindor common room. (A/N: You're allowed in even if you're in another house.) What would you write?
The room was empty, so you couldn't ask Remus for help. Frowning, you glared at your quill, as if threatening it with your eyes would do any good.
The portrait hole opened behind you, but you didn't bother to turn around. Instead, you pressed the heels of your hands against your eyes and sighed.
Someone wrapped their arms around your neck from behind.
"Hey Beautiful," Sirius' voice tickled your ear. You smiled slightly, and leaned into his touch.
"What's up? Potions trouble?"
"Nope. History of Magic. I can't find a way to end my essay on the Warlock Revolution."
"Shit."
"What?"
"I thought that was due next week."
You snorted. "Nope. It's due tomorrow, actually. Why? Need help?"
He chuckled.
     "Maybe..."
     You laughed. He pressed a kiss to your temple and removed his arms, walking around the couch to sit next to you.
     He put his arm around your shoulder and you curled into his warmth. Grabbing your essay, he began to read aloud:
     "Warlocks are magical creatures that practice witchcraft and sorcery. When the warlocks realized that man had harnessed magic, and knew more about it than their own kind, they decided to attack. The warlocks wanted to rid the world of man, and be the only creatures alive that could use magic. So began the Warlock Revolution." Sirius stared at the paper before groaning loudly.
"How the hell am I supposed to compete with this?" He shook the paper.
You laughed again. "I'll help you!"
He smiled gratefully and, out of the blue, hugged you tightly. Shocked, you snuggled into his chest and closed your eyes, content with staying like that forever.
"I love you, (Y/N)."
Your eyes opened immediately in surprise.
"I... love you, too," your voice came out muffled by his robes.
"But I'm not kidding right now when I say that. I love you, (Y/N). I love you more than you know."
Your chest seemed to expand with heat. You couldn't describe the emotions coursing through you. Happiness, elation...

...Love.


It was a truly amazing feeling, to be loved.

Sorry this was kind of short, but I was almost squeaking writing this. Massive amounts of fluff give me feels.
Thank you all so much for the love and support🖤🖤🖤
