A hand running through your hair, skin on bare skin, feet touching feet, you found yourself lying in bed, your eyes half closed, drowsy and complete. A white sheet covered your body, his fingers lightly tugging on it, as he dragged them from your neck, over your shoulder, down your arm to the soft fabric that wrapped itself around your chest like a cotton dress made just for this moment. This perfect moment.
You shuffled slowly and turned around to look at his face that studied yours for a moment, before he brushed a strand of hair behind your ear, a faint smile on his lips as he kept on staring into your eyes. Your hand met his cheek to run your fingers over his stubble. You had expected it to be spiky, but it felt like you touched nothing but air. It didn't matter though, inside you were thriving with emotions, jubilant to have this moment, these hours of lying in bed together, sharing secrets, making memories.
"Why're you grinning?", Sirius asked with a raspy voice as he mirrored your featherbrained expression.
"Hmm, I don't know", you said. "Just thinking about stuff."
"Stuff?", he asked with a smirk.
"Happy stuff."
"Thinking about me, huh?"
"Among other things, yeah", you joked.
"Other things? How dare you", he responded and pulled you closer to his chest, buried his head in the crook of your neck and held you tight while chuckling against your skin.
Again, his touch didn't feel like much on the outside, but made you almost lose your mind inside, your heart overflowing with joy.
"Did you do your homework?", he asked, still nestling against your body.
"Yes. Did you?"
"Uh-huh. What about the ducks?"
"What ducks?", you asked as you played with a strand of hair on the back of his head.
"The ducks on the river we're going to see."
"What are you talking about? What ducks are we gonna see?", you asked again, thinking he might have gone crazy a minute ago.
"We'll see them when we wake up."
"Sirius, what-"
"You need to wake up."
"You need to wake up, Y/N! Right now!", a loud and high pitched voice, along with an abrupt push against your arm tore you out of your slumber and away from him.
When you opened your eyes you saw your dormmate Marlene McKinnon staring at you from above, frowning yet with a slight smirk on her lips.
"Finally", she sighed. "You're sleeping so deeply lately, it's insane. Hurry, we're almost late for class."You took a moment to realise what just happened as you sat up with an effort. It's been a dream. Sirius and you. Merlin's beard. Of course it wasn't real, you were just friends. But it felt so real. So good.
"Come on Ducky, will ya?", Marlene ordered again. "McGonagall's not going to go easy on us if we're late again."
"Yeah um, sorry. Thanks for waking me", you mumbled, still confused and got up to go to the bathroom. "Hang on", you said before entering. "What did you just call me?"
Lily laughed from the other side of the room as she finished making her bed, while Marlene sat down on her own next to Dorcas.
"Oh, Ducky you mean?", she asked. "That's what you were talking about for the last minutes. Ducks."
