Here is a short one shot I wrote. I hope you guys like it ! It’s a Sirius and reader one shot when they are still in Hogwarts !
Sirius and Y/N : the stars listen
My name is Y/N, and I’m a Gryffindor 6th year. So before I start this story which is the story of me and my friend Sirius... yes Sirius as in Sirius Black, brother of Regulus Black, the famous Marauder and best friend of James Potter... that Sirius Black...
So I should begin by telling you a bit about myself. I am a Muggle born which means that when I first got my letter from Hogwarts I was ecstatic... this was the best news I had ever heard. I met Sirius on the train with James, Sirius, Remus and Peter and we became friends. I was always closer to Sirius, he was the first one to tell me about his family problems.... I remember it like it was yesterday... It was the summer holidays of our 3rd year.. I had gone home and was in the back garden reading a book Remus had recommended when I heard a noise coming from a bush... I got up and Sirius came out of it all bloody and panting for breath. I let go of everything and took him in my arms. He rested in my room and I felt a pinch. My heart was beating fast.... he was delirious from the pain. I helped him the best I could... I remember the tears and the pain he felt... I remember every word of our exchange... and what I remember the most was that ... that day ... that hot summer day .... I realised that .... I was in love with my best friend.... I felt the pain ... his pain .... I was irrevocably in love with the infamous Sirius Black.
That summer, he would come to my house and we would spend hours talking. That summer was the best summer of my life.
So now you have a bit of a back story I can start the story.
It started when Slughorn asked us to make Amortentia as he always like to do with his 6th years. I was partnered up with Lily Evans, my girl best friend and roommate. We made the potion with a little help from her old friend Severus. She wasn’t talking to him really ... and I understood why .... he had called her a Mudblood ... that word .... I had been called it a few times but Sirius would always come and defend me. I always loved that about him ... he was a pure blood but he always defended the ones who weren’t like him.
The class went on and our potion was done. Professor Slughorn came up to us to congratulate us.
⁃ well done !! Well done !! Could I ask you to tell me what you smell miss Y/L/N ?
⁃ I ... I ... mmm I smell ...lemon... pine... smoke ... something old .... a record shop .... and .... sorry ...
I stopped right there .. I was smelling Sirius’s cologne. Lily looked at me oddly....
I walked out as fast as I could. I loved Lily but she could sometimes be a nosy Parker.
It was the last lesson of the day so I walked to the library and took out a book.
I stayed there until dinner time. It was always quiet this time of year, because mid term exams were over. As I walked into the Great Hall I saw a my table, the Gryffindor table being the loudest as usual.
⁃ Y/N !!!!, shouted James, get over here now !!!
⁃ WHAT ????, I shouted back and laughed.
I sat down at my usual stop next to Remus and opposite Sirius who was laughing with James
⁃ what did I miss ?, I asked with a smile
⁃ Sirius’s got a new girl that’s what !!, shouted James
My smile faded away immediately but I put it back on. I couldn’t let it get to me.
⁃ oh wow ... congrats Pads !
⁃ How come you never told me ?, I asked
⁃ Sorry N/N you were so busy with your revisions that i forgot !, he said with that grin that always made the butterflies in my stomach explode.
⁃ Well who is she come on ? Tell us !, I said trying to be the best best friend I could ever be.
So he started to tell us about her eyes, her hair... i blocked out most of what he was saying .... it was hard ... very hard ... i had never seen him talk about a girl like
this before ... i felt a pain in my chest,the same
pain ... i felt every time James would recount his best mates love adventures or how Sirius got a date with this girl or that Ravenclaw Prefect ... i got up.
⁃ Y/N ? are you ok ?, asked Remus
⁃ yeah ! sorry ! i forgot to do a homework for Binns ! i'll meet you in the common room !
I walked out really fast.. I had ran up to the astronomy tower.. the astronomy tower ... it was my sanctuary... I would go up every time I felt down or .... I sat down and let my legs dangle of the top. I looked up at the stars.. Sirius had taught me all of them... the names of the constellations... my favorite was ... of course ... Sirius ! The dog constellation !
I felt tears rolling down my cheeks... Merlin ! Don’t I look pathetic ... crying over a boy ... a boy I love ...
⁃ you know ... you should really look out and keep an ear out for strangers listening in on you !
I jumped and looked around to see non other than Remus Lupin
⁃ what do you want Remus ?, I said drying a tear away.
⁃ Well ... you know you can always talk to me ! I know the stars listen but ... maybe a friendly face might help ..
⁃ how much of it did you hear ?
⁃ Well let’s say I’m shocked no one else at school hasn’t heard your confession or your undying love for our favorite dog
⁃ You better not say anything Remus ‘
⁃ Ok ok ... chill ... but you know ... maybe you should tell him
I walked down the stairs and got back to the common room. I couldn’t see Sirius... well it was probably for the best.
I walked up the stairs and got into my dorm... the girls were fast asleep as I got under the covers... I was welcomed with open by Morpheus.
As I woke up the next day, I went down to have breakfast with Marlene, who kept talking about Dorcas and her plan for their perfect date. I’m not going to lie and say I wasn’t jealous of them. They had both found each other and were perfect for one another.
So I listened to Marls and gave her advice :
⁃ you know .... Instead of buying her something why not make her a nice thing !
⁃ That’s a really good idea N/N ! Thanks !
We sat down and started to have breakfast. Dorcas joined us with Lily.
⁃ where were you last night ?, asked Lily
⁃ probably went looking for a dark, tall, handsome man..., said Marlene with her eyebrows going up and down.
⁃ I don’t know what you are talking about !, I said drinking my pumpkin juice trying to hide my blush.
⁃ Come on ! It’s obvious you like him !, answered Dorcas
⁃ Guys guys guys ! If N/N doesn’t want to talk about it ! Then let’s not pressure them ...
⁃ Although.... yesterday during potions... you did describe the scent....
⁃ who described what ?, asked Sirius sitting down next to me
⁃ Nothing ! Aren’t you supposed to be at practice ?, I asked
⁃ James caught a cold and is in bed !, he said taking a sip of my juice
⁃ Oh ... is he alright ?, asked Lily
I smirked at my best friend and he nodded:
⁃ why don’t you go and see him ?, I said with a smirk
Lily went as red as her hair, Sirius and I snickered
⁃ well ... while Lily tries and understand her complex feelings ... want to come to Hogsmeade ?, asked Padfoot
⁃ Yeah sure.... I’ll get my purse, I exclaimed
⁃ Great ! Meet you at the front !
I ran up to my dorm. I got my prettiest coat and put my purse. I arrived at the front of Hogwarts out of breath to see Lily, Marlene, Dorcas, Peter, Remus.... and Sirius with his girlfriend... Eloise.... she was a Ravenclaw 5th year... she had blond hair and green eyes... she was pretty... not like me... I had to stop my staring.... really Y/N.... stop thinking about him... he’s got a girlfriend... Merlin !
⁃ ready to go ?, asked my best friend
⁃ Mmm yeah... sure ! Hey Eloise !
The afternoon was spent watching my best friend snogging in one of the booths in the Three Broomsticks... I wanted to vomit... I had to hold the urge.... Remus was there with me the whole time... we were about to leave when Sirius came up to us.
⁃ hey ! Eloise wants to stay a bit longer ! I’ll catch up with you guys in the common room ok ?
⁃ Yeah sure ! Whatever !, I said
⁃ Y/N ! What’s wrong ?, he asked concern in his eyes
⁃ Nothing ! Don’t want to keep your girlfriend waiting !, I spit back
I walked away. When The castle was in full view, ran leaving my friends behind me. I wanted to be left alone... the boy I have loved for so long...
this was pathetic I knew it... I looked at the picture frame ... it was of me and Sirius... we were laughing at one of James’s bad jokes.
I had to put it down...I can’t watch it anymore... I can’t help it.... he’s the reason for the tear drops on my guitar... Godric now I’m quoting Taylor Swift songs...
I hadn’t realised it was time for dinner... I looked at the clock and I had missed dinner... I went downstairs hearing laughters. I watched my friends around the fire... Lily was next to James taking care of him... of course he was loving it... that crazy stag !
I saw Remus listening to Peter talking about Merlin knows what... Sirius was watching the flammes in the fireplace. I walked past them and out of the portrait. I walked to the place I loved.. you guessed it... the astronomy tower... the stars were out, the sky was clear and the moon was in a nice croissant.
⁃ why won’t you love me ? ... I’ve always been there for you ... Why !!!!! Why won’t you listen to me stars !!!!
⁃ Who are you talking to ??, asked Padfoot
I turned around quickly seeing my best friend with his hair down.. a gust of wind made his hair twirl around his gorgeous face... I couldn’t help but blush... I turned around to look at the castle grounds... I felt him come close to me.
⁃ what are you doing here all on your own... ?
⁃ I needed the air ! Why aren’t you with Eloise ?
⁃ It’s past curfew you know ?
⁃ Oh really ? I was lost in thought !!
⁃ Yeah ... talking to the stars ?
I was even more red than Lily’s hair ...
⁃ what are you talking about ?
⁃ Come on N/N ! I know you ! And I want you to know ...
I turned my head to look at him to feel his lips on mine... he had his hand on my jaw... I felt my eyes close to savour the moment. His lips tasted like fire whiskey and cigarettes... we broke appart and I looked into his grey eyes. He had a smirk on his face.
⁃ but.... I don’t understand ... what about Eloise...?
He smiled that toothy smile I loved so much...
⁃ you are really something you know ?, he whispered, I have always loved you ! N/N ! Eloise was helping me get your attention ! And I guessed it worked ... haha
I had my hands over my mouth, I felt tears starting to prickle down my eyes. I was happy...
⁃ hey hey hey ! Don’t cry beautiful !! What is it ?
⁃ I am happy ... these are happy tears ! I love you !!
I froze... I had said the “L” word before anything could happen... I messed up... I was about to leave when I felt his hand on my forearm... I looked up to see Sirius smiling and looking at me in a way I had never seen before.
⁃ I love you too dove ! I love you too !
I felt his lips back on mine and I smiled. Maybe the stars are listening. If you are thank you, thank you for making this possible.
