You were lying on your stomach, across the top of the back of the couch in the Gryffindor common room, while reading a book and listening to an uninteresting conversation of the Marauders. Sirius was sitting with his back to you, barely a few inches away, while James was sitting at the other end of the furniture where your legs were playing in the air. Remus was excitedly explaining something about the newest charm he has learned, while Peter was sitting in front of the fireplace, completely ignoring his friends.

"Sirius Black!" You heard a scream coming from outside the common room. Your head quickly snapped forward to get a better look at the intruder. "How dare you?" She continued and you recognised one of his fangirls, Jane Adley, standing just a few inches away from your group. The blonde haired girl was screaming loudly, without a care for others. You just wanted to cover your ears from further harassment, but the book in your hand stopped you.

"Hm." He turned towards her, but his voice showed no curiosity.

"How dare you?" She continued, making you question if a voice could get any higher. 

"If you explained what you've meant, I might actually be able to answer." He stated and you accidentally let out a chuckle, you wanted to keep in. Sirius turned towards you with a naughty grin spreading across his cheeks. His face was barely a few inches away from you, making you blush just a slight bit.

"This, exactly this." She pointed towards you and him. This time it was your turn to frown.

"Excuse me?" You joined the conversation, while sitting up, legs crossed, for better access, in case you accidentally tried to jump at her neck.

"I have been nothing but supportive. I have been next to you when you needed me. And this is how you show gratitude? By flirting with everyone?" She asked holding her hand in front of her chest painfully. If you didn't know her better, you would have actually believed that she was hurt, but unfortunately you knew her way too well and you knew that she was a better actress than anyone you have ever known. She was just jealous for all you knew.

"Let's say, that I am going to pretend, that you are right. Why on earth is it any of your business?" His tone showed boredom at its best.

"I am your girlfriend, you can't treat me like this." She growled in anger and you were in shock for a mere second. Sirius Black having a girlfriend seemed to be of the most ridiculous jokes you have heard that year.

"Are you?" He asked in surprise and it just broke something in you. You laughed out loud at his reaction, it had to come out. He turned towards you once again and winked casually. Unfortunately the fact that you had a slight crush on the eldest Black brother, didn't help your situation. Your heart wanted to to fly out of your body and end up in Black's hands.

"Honey, Sirius Black doesn't do relationship." You stated, while a smile still sat across your face. "His words, not mine." You raised your hands in defence.

"That's not entirely true." He turned towards you to clear himself. "I would do relationship, but only with the girl, I like." His smile turned to a more gentle one, which made you even more confused. "But unfortunately, she doesn't like me back." You could swear that you saw a slight hurt in his eyes, but as quick as it came, it disappeared.

"Can we just focus on me for a second?" Jane interrupted and you rolled your eyes in annoyance while letting a bored sigh escape your lungs.  

"Jane, I never asked you to be my girlfriend nor did I ask you to run after me." He stood up while rubbing the back of his neck in frustration. "You know me, I don't get into relationships. And even if I did, I am sorry, but you would definitely not be my choice." She gasped in disbelief. Silent tears started running down her face while it deformed from sadness to anger. She hit Sirius on the chest and ran out of the common room.

"And another heart broken soul. How painful it is for a young and sweet innocent heart." You said poetically, which caused James to let a smirk crawl across his face.

"Oh come on, they know their faith." Sirius shrugged and as he sat down you slapped him on the back of his head, causing him to turn back to you in surprise. "Why did I get that?" He asked, eyes wide open.

"As much as I don't like your fan club, they are still people, Black. You don't necessarily have to be a bloody asshole, you know?!" You lectured him, but even you felt like you were too easy on him. You wanted to make him realise that even though they are just one night stands for him, those girls have hearts too. Even if they are not the brightest minds of them all.

"Have I ever told them that I liked them? No! Have I ever told them that I loved them? Oh Godric, no! Have I ever asked them to be my girlfriends? Bloody hell, I would be an idiot to." He exclaimed at the thought.

"I am not saying to marry them. I am simply saying, maybe you could be a bit more clear before getting into action, love." You chuckled at his weird attempt to defend himself.

"I rather show than tell." He said with a cheeky wink targeted at you.

"Ew, no. Don't want to know." You grimaced, acting as if you didn't want to know, but inside you were burning up from curiosity.

"You know, guys" James interrupted. "I'm just curious. Why don't you two start dating?" Your eyebrows curled up in surprise and at first you weren't sure if he was joking. You stared at him as if he was a ghost.

"Yes, love, why not?" Sirius spoke and you turned to him with the widest eyes you could physically manage. You shook your head and looked back at James.

"Where did that ridiculous idea come from, Potter?" You asked frowning. As much as even the thought of you being with Sirius satisfied you, it never crossed your mind, that it could ever become reality.

"I mean, you are getting along well, you are both attractive people with a sense of humour and if I wanted to be honest, you would look good together.

"That's the dumbest idea I have ever heard, Potter." You stated harshly and decided to just leave this pointless conversation behind. You were about to stand up, when Sirius pulled on your leg, making you end up sitting on the couch next to him. "What was that for?" You asked in surprise.

"You wanted to run away from the conversation. Don't you think I have known you far too long to read you like a book?" His smirk growing bigger.

"Well I am sorry if I don't plan to continue this conversation, but I don't see a reason to." You explained. As much as you wanted your fairytale story, where you end up with the prince on a white horse, in your case with a douchebag on a broomstick, you just knew that it was not plausible and you didn't want to waste your brain cells on irrational thoughts.

"So you don't think I am handsome and you never thought of me as a potential boyfriend material?!" He said lowering his head and you started to feel sorry for a second.

"I never said that." You replied.

"Aha!" He chuckled and you immediately regretted your answer. "So you find me attractive and could potentially imagine me as your boyfriend." He interpreted your sentence in his own twisted way.

"I definitely never said that either, Black." You corrected him.

"But you did think of it for a second before answering." His smirk was affecting your rational thoughts and you definitely didn't feel like you could go on with this conversation with a clear mind. You had to leave.

"I will be going now." You said and once again tried to get up, but this time your attempt was stopped by James. "What the hell is going on here?" You asked now being curious about their team work against you. James leaned closer to your ear and smirked at your defensive move, when your body tried to pull away. However he didn't let it. He pulled you back by your upper arm and leaned closer to your ear, whispering.

"Lily told me your little secret." He chuckled. "So why don't we just stay here and finish this conversation?" He thought he was funny, but for you it was threatening. You definitely didn't want Sirius to know about your feelings. He was your friend. And a very good one at that. Ruining it meant a more painful heartache than if he decided to reject you.

"Are you threatening me, Potter?" You growled and this time there was no positivity in your voice. You clearly wanted to curse his ass. You stood up and this time they didn't want to stop you. You were way too scary for their liking. "Try that move one more time, and I will make sure that the next curse that comes out of my wand will cause the biggest pain you could imagine. Both physically and mentally." You hissed at the boy, making him feel smaller than a mouse. You were scary when you were angry and everyone knew not to mess with you.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted the best for you." He explained, but you let our a dark chuckle scaring him even more.

"And in what possible way would this be the best for me?" Your eyes still shined dark from anger, but you started slowly calming down. You knew he wasn't meant to threaten you, but at that moment you felt otherwise. You were always quite impulsive to say the least.

"Well, Sirius likes you too, so I thought I would help." He shrugged.

"James!" Sirius shouted at his friend and you just stood there in silence not wanting to believe a word. "Wait what?" He continued this time, you started taking on a darker shade of red. Oh he did hear it too. He was way too bright of a wizard not to. "Too?" He asked back and James let out a chuckle.

"Let's go guys." James focused on Remus and Peter this time. "The show has finished for now." They started walking towards the stairs to the dormitory, but before disappearing, James winked at you playfully.

"So you like me." He said with a grin spreading across his face." You gulped awkwardly. You had no idea what to do or say, even though almost all the time, you had something to come back with. However on this occasion you seemed to be tongue tied. "Did the little bird took your tongue?" He asked taking a stand himself as well. He was barely a few inches away from you. He cupped your face gently and lifted it up to be able to look into his eyes. Without hesitation he leaned forward and placed his lips on yours. He was gently moving them along yours, but soon enough he became impatient when you didn't kiss back. He was about to pull away, but you couldn't just let this opportunity get away from you. You grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him back into a passionate kiss. You gently bit on his lower lip, causing him to open up for you, and without hesitation you took the first rising opportunity to take over the lead. You licked across his lower lip gently before gaining entry and inviting him for a dance. You felt his hands wondering down your sides, before grabbing you harder and pulling you closer. You were unsure if you could have been even closer as your bodies seemed to be touching on every inch up and down. His fight for the dominance earned him the lead, making you moan into the kiss, before he pulled away just enough to be able to look into your eyes.

"I guess the bird didn't take your tongue after all." He chuckled and you hit his chest at his naughty comment.

"But you wanted to." The wholehearted laughter leaving his lungs made your inside fill up with happiness and warmness.

"So you like me, huh?" He asked after calming down a little.

"And so do you, huh?" You asked back, making him chuckle.

"Oh Godric, you will make me crazy. Of course, only if you decide to date me after all." He suggested. You didn't answer just stood on your tiptoes and kissed him. 

He wanted to deepen the kiss, but you didn't let him though. Not this time.

"You know what would be funny?" You asked him with a cheeky grin appearing across your face. However from the look you were showing, he knew it wasn't anything for his satisfaction. "If the womaniser Sirius Black had to run after someone this time." You chuckled at your own thoughts.

"Come on, love. Don't do this to me. You want to be with me and I want to be with you. Why play games?" Ha asked pulling you closer by your waist and placing his forehead on yours.

"Why play games? A sentence I have never expected to hear from Sirius Black." You laughed, running your hands around his shoulders, crossing your arms behind his neck. "I want to play." You stated while leaving the warmness of his body behind and walking towards the dormitory.

"Love, come on, let's not do this. Just come back, give me a kiss and let's plan our first date." He was almost begging you and you couldn't hide the satisfaction it gave you.

"Or let's just see if you can win me over." You laughed. In seconds he crossed the room and wrapped his arms around you waist strongly, but gently.

"We both know, that I already won you over." He grinned.

"If I could hide my feelings for so long, a bit longer will not make a difference." You planted a kiss on his smooth lips and started walking up the stairs, smiling to yourself.

"Love! Love! Come on, don't play games with me!" He shouted after you desperately, but you could only chuckle at his desperate attempt. You knew you would give in, even before you started the game, but for now, it seemed more fun. You walked into your room, happily smiling at his attention-seeking behaviour. You knew it would be a fun next couple of days.
