You take back everything you ever said about how easy it would be to pretend to be Sirius Black; you were wrong, so wrong - it was the hardest thing you’ve ever done in your whole life.
It was bad enough having to act like him around his friends, however you didn’t take into consideration that you wouldn’t get a break. You had to sleep in his dorm - in his bed, which at first you were disgusted by but by now you had grown to love the smell of his aftershave lingering on the pillow at night - go to his lessons and do detentions that you yourself hadn’t even gotten.
The worst thing was possibly trying to convince James that you were Sirius. It was downright impossible, and so many times have you received strange looks from him when you had said or done something that you assumed Sirius would never say or do.
It had been two weeks since you switched bodies with Sirius Black, and by now you couldn’t wait to get back into your own skin. You hated the idea of Sirius doing anything with your body, hated that he’d be able to see everything no matter how much you would prefer to hide away.
As much as you hated knowing Sirius had seen you in ways no boy ever has or will ever, you hated that he had the power to do anything he wanted whilst being you more. And whilst you had the same power being in his body, you weren’t Sirius Black, and you weren’t immature enough to do so, whereas you knew for a fact it was something that he’d find amusing.
One thing, however, you surprisingly did enjoy was the attention you received by being Sirius. Yes, you always knew he was a good looking boy, and many girls fancied him, but the sheer amount of double takes you got was crazy. You didn’t know how Sirius did it every day.
Being the slightly socially awkward person you were, by Merlin it was difficult trying to act exactly like Sirius around his admirers. You knew he flirted like crazy, and honestly flirting was not exactly your strong point - not at least from a boy’s perspective, and trying to flirt with girls.
“Sirius! Sirius wait up!” You sighed and turned around, “Hi Marlene, what’s up?” She giggled and started twirling her hair around her finger. If only she knew that it wasn’t actually Sirius she was speaking to.
“I was just wondering… are you busy later? The girls are out tonight so I have the dorm to myself..?” She smirked suggestively, and you forced yourself to give her a lazy grin, “I can’t, important business with the boys. You know how much I would otherwise.“
Her face visibly dropped, however she kept her smile as she nodded, “That’s fine, maybe another time?” “Definitely,” you said with a smirk you hoped looked somewhat like one Sirius would do. “Okay, see you later then Sirius.”
“Yeah bye,” you replied however she was already halfway down the corridor. You sighed - that was the fifth time today that a girl had stopped you to ask if you wanted to have some ‘alone time’ with them. It got you thinking about just how many times Sirius had agreed to in the past. And though you knew he nor you had any idea you were soulmates back then, you couldn’t help the distaste you felt - Sirius Black was yours.
You shook your head of these thoughts as you carried on your way. What did you care about who Sirius had or hadn’t been with? It wasn’t like you… liked him or anything. No, you definitely didn’t - couldn’t, in fact. There was a known rivalry between you - liking him would never work out, even if the universe seemed to think it would.
Sirius, on the other hand, found himself really enjoying being a girl. He got to find out all the latest gossip, stay up late talking about boys - he noticed that he was the subject of many late-night chats - and best of all he got to watch girls unchange. Of course they never caught him looking, but they also never told him to get out - after all, they believed he was you.
Whilst he constantly had to remind himself not to wink or flirt with girls as he walked past, he found himself enjoying the newfound freedom he had where he could walk around the castle and not get stopped constantly from another girl who thought she had a chance. It was refreshing, to say the least.
“And then you’ll never guess what she did!” One of your friends, Marcie, carried on with her story, “That bitch pretended to walk past my table and just tipped my potion off!”
“She didn’t!” Sirius fake gasped. “She did! All because she thinks I kissed her boyfriend when I did nothing of the sort!” Marcie furrowed her eyebrows.
“How dare she, we should show her a lesson! She can’t just ruin your life for something so petty!” Sirius suggested.
“Y/n, no matter how much I’d enjoy that, it’s not worth it. She’d just find a way to infuriate me more. I’m just waiting for the day karma comes back to bite her - that’ll be a day I’ll enjoy. And if not, then I’ll do the exact thing she thinks I’ve done. If she’s going to ruin my life for something I’ve not done, might as well make it worthwhile,” she shrugged.
Sirius stared at the girl, really intrigued in the story. He loved the drama - his friends never had anything good going on, yet things were blowing up in girl world, and damn it if Sirius wasn’t going to make the most of being you by finding out every last little detail about everything.
“Oh look at the time! I’m late for Herbology, I’ll see you later Y/n!” Marcie jumped up, throwing her bag on her shoulder as she dashed out of the library. “Yeah, later!” Sirius called back.
Barely moments later, you were by his side, taking the place of Marcie, a big frown crossing your features.
“I hate being you,” you grumbled as you fell down onto the chair beside Sirius, resting your head into your hands.
“Yes, you’ve told me. In fact, that’s about the - what, 50th? - time this week,” Sirius said with a half smile, “For the record, I’m having a fucking blast being you. You don’t get any attention - people just ignore you! It’s great! And you get to find out all this gossip about everyone! Like the fact that Leana is cheating on Marcus with Jayden! Who knew?”
“Wow, thanks, nice to know you’re having a good time,” you mutter sarcastically, “and for the record, she’s not cheating on him at all. That’s just a rumour - you should probably learn how to tell the difference.” “Oh that’s disheartening… But you know what I mean. When I walk around Hogwarts I can’t talk to my mates for a couple of minutes without being stopped by a girl or two. And it’s not to be told about some drama that’s going on. It’s not all fun and games flirting with them, you’ll find I have to put in the effort to keep a reputation as good as mine.”
“No you don’t, you flirt naturally, and you have an aura that screams rebel. Your reputation builds itself. I have to put in the effort to be you, however, because I have no idea how to flirt with girls! Or boys, for that matter.”
“Well that’s alright, because the only person you’ll need to flirt with now is me.” “Over my dead body, Black.”
“That’s hurtful L/n, I’m not that bad, I keep telling you,” Sirius wore a fake hurt expression as his hands held his heart dramatically.
“I just can’t wait until I’m me again. I never thought I’d say it, but being you is a lot harder than I thought. And honestly I think people are starting to catch on that you’re not you - James in particularly keeps asking me strange questions like he’s testing me or something. It’s a good job I know quite a bit about you isn’t it, imagine if I had no idea you were an animagus,” You let out a laugh, “We’d be in some deep trouble then.”
“How do you know I’m an animagus - I mean, I’m not an animagus how dare you even suggest such a thing!” Sirius gaped at you.
“Stop acting dumb Black, you do realise that every other sentence out of your friends’ mouths is a pun about your animagi forms?” You said with raised eyebrows, “I’d have to be a bloody fool not to pick up on it, however it just so happens that I already knew so calm yourself.”
“Well don’t you go around telling everyone.” “Do you actually think I’d do that. Again, I’d have to be a bloody fool.”
“I’m just making sure, since you are known to be quite fool-like,” Sirius grinned.
You glared at him and he immediately put his arms up in fake surrender.
“I can’t wait to switch back so I can get away from you.”
“You’ll never get away from me, love. But you know, if you’d just accept that I’m your soulmate and that you love me, we’d be back in our own bodies faster than you can click your fingers,” Sirius told you, “I’ll say it again, I’m not that bad. In fact you should be honoured to have me as your soulmate. You could have gotten Snivellus, and let’s face it, that would have been gutting.”
“You do realise that in order for us to switch back you need to accept me as your soulmate as well?” You asked, looking up at him.
Sirius nodded. “Easy as pie, doll face,” he winked, “Despite popular belief, I don’t hate you, and I actually think I’m quite happy you’re my soulmate.”
“Yeah! Whilst you’re unbelievably annoying, and you like arguing with me over everything, you also have… a quality that makes me think you’re not so bad. And you’re also pretty hot so there’s that.”
“You don’t think you deserve, I don’t know, someone better? I mean, have you seen you without a shirt on?” You asked incredulously.
Sirius smirked, “Yes I have, and from your red cheeks I assume you have as well.”
“Well yes, but not because I wanted to,” you crossed your arms and tried to force yourself to stop blushing.
“Hm-hm,” He hummed, clearly not believing you. You threw your arms in the air dramatically, “Well I had to shower! If not, your hair would be as greasy as Sniv- Severus’ by now.”
“How dare you! You touched my hair?” Sirius stood up, his hands moving to cover his mouth in shock.
“Of course I did you tool, it’s attached to the body I’m in!” You rolled your eyes at his over-dramatic reaction - something you assumed you’d have to get used to.
“Oh right… well I’ll let you off this time, but next time-” You cut him off.
“What are you gonna do? Do you want me walking around as you with your hair stuck flat to your head?” You raised an eyebrow, giving him a pointed look.
Sirius grumbled to himself, using a few choice words that sounded suspiciously like swears. You rolled your eyes at him.
“It’s not like you’ve not touched my hair either,” you pointed out.
Sirius sighed softly, leaning his elbow on the table and his chin on his hand as he spoke, “Your hair isn’t as nice as mine though, so it doesn’t matter.”
“Excuse me,” you scoffed, “My hair is just as nice as yours. Okay so maybe it’s not as soft or shiny, and doesn’t smell as good but… but… oh shut up, my hair is perfectly fine!”
Sirius smiled smugly, “Yours is perfectly fine, it’s just mine’s better.”
“Merlin, your head is stuck so far up your arse it’s a surprise you can see to walk around,” you scowled, narrowing your eyes.
“All part of my charm. Besides, someone has to love me considering you’ve decided not to. I’m telling you, just accept your love for me and everything will be fine. It’s okay, a lot of people love me, don’t be embarrassed. I won’t hold it over your head too much,” Sirius teased you with a grin.
“Black, the day I fall in love with you is the day hell freezes over,” you said through clenched teeth. Sirius smirked.
“We’ll see about that doll.”
