you and sirius were standing in the courtyard, panting as the two of you had spotted filch and quickly sprinted across the castle to avoid being given detention.

sirius rested his hands on his knees bending down while you rest your forehead on his shoulder, calming your breathing.

"merlin, we need to exercise more," you picked your head up and fanned yourself with your hands.

"who's we?" sirius faked a confused look at you, causing you to hit him in the chest.

you and sirius stood facing each other as you stared into his beautiful brown eyes.

"ireallylikeyouandhavebeensincewewerethirteen," you blurted out.

"what?"

"i like you, sirius." you repeated slower this time.

"oh," sirius' eyes widened, "i...like you too."

"really?" you looked up hopefully at him.

"but i'm not really looking for a relationship y/n. i don't like being tied down...and i'm just not ready to commit to a relationship yet."

the smile on your face soon turned into a frown as your eyes stinged, the tears threatening not to fall.

you had just laid your heart out to your best friend and he took it in his hands and kicked it as far as he could like a football.

he could've been manchester's newest midfielder.

"oh uh, yea of course. i should've known," you sniffed as you wiped your eyes with the back of your hand, "i'm gonna uh, return to the common room first. i'll see you around yea?"

before sirius could try and stop you, you pushed past him and sped walked back into the castle and headed straight to your dorm to cry your eyeballs out.

the next few days you avoided sirius at all costs, which was absurdly difficult since you and him were usually conjoined at the hip and you and the marauders were rather closeknit as well.

you figured sirius had told the three what had happened the night before as the next morning when you were having breakfast, remus had slid into the seat next to you.

"are you alright?" he asked worriedly as you picked at your eggs.

"don't go pitying me now rem, it's fine, i should've known better," you said dejectedly as you took a bite out of your food.

for the next few weeks, peter, james, and remus would take turns walking you to class and having meals with you.

you insisted that you were just fine being alone but being the big-hearted gryffindors they were, they ignored your protests.

you were in the library alone studying. you had finally slipped out of the three marauders' grasp, getting some time away from their patronising.

"may i have a seat here?" a voice spoke.

you lifted your head to see wyatt davies, a ravenclaw in the year above you, gesturing to the chair next to you.

"of course, hi wyatt," you smiled at him.

"you know who i am?" he asked surprised.

"you gave me detention once in third year," you chuckled, "i think it was because i was out after curfew."

wyatt's face blushed pink, "oh, i er, apologise for that."

"it's alright, you were just doing what you were supposed to," you pat the back of his shoulder with an assuring smile and returned your attention back to your book.

the afternoon passed by in silence as you and wyatt finished up your homework for the day.

"could i walk you back to your common room?" the ravenclaw asked politely.

"a prefect escorting me? how could i decline the offer?" you joked as you swung your bag over your shoulder.

"would you like to have a drink sometime? as in a date," wyatt asked nervously.

you smiled sweetly at how tense he was. you were trying to get over sirius, and wyatt was indeed quite charming. you decided that sirius did not deserve you and it was time to get over your silly childhood crush over him.

"i'd like that wyatt," you cheesed as you placed a peck on his cheek and slipped into your common room.

"i saw you and davies at hogsmeade together on saturday," remus elbowed your ribs lightly as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"merlin rem were you stalking me or something? but anyway, he's a sweetheart, he asked me out for a second date and i agreed."

"never thought i'd see you with a ravenclaw, but i'm happy for you y/n."

remus sat next to james as peter was opposite to them.

"so y/n's been on a date with davies," remus informed the two.

"she finally got over pads eh?" james reached over the table to

"wyatt is quite good looking isn't he, i hope he treats y/n well." peter spoke with a mouthful of food.

"we can't have sirius know, he'd just get jealous and try to ruin things. y/n's finally herself again and we can't risk mucking that up." remus warned.

remus and james saw sirius walking over to them, and widened their eyes to silently tell peter not to mention y/n's and davies relationship further.

he, however, did not get the hint.

"right, so we must do is not tell sirius that y/n and wyatt are dating." peter announced as sirius stopped behind him.

"what?" sirius practically yelled, a few heads turning over to him.

"stupid peter," peter cursed himself under his breath.

jealousy clouded sirius as he turned to the entrance of the great hall, seeing you and wyatt walk into it happily, you laughing at something he said.

sirius stomped over to you and pulled you away from wyatt out of the great hall, not speaking a single word to you until the both of you were in the hallway.

"what the hell?" you angrily spat at sirius, "i was having a conversation with wyatt before it was rudely interrupted."

you flipped sirius off as you made started walking back into the great hall.

"i really like you y/n," sirius admitted as he stopped dead in his tracks and grabbed onto your wrists.

"i really like you too sirius," you breathed out, "i've confessed my feelings for you numerous times."

"be my girlfriend?"

"no, sirius."

"what'd you mean no? you just said that you liked me too!" sirius threw his hands into the air.

"because sirius, you only asked me out of jealousy, not because you want to get into a relationship with me." you shook your head as you loosened sirius' grip on your wrist before walking away.
