“So you’re over him.”

“Yep.”

“Just like that?”

“Just like that.”

Lily lifted an eyebrow skeptically before turning back to the pastry display. “Whatever you say.”

Remus rolled his eyes, but said nothing. They had been having the same argument since their night at the Empire earlier that week, and the only thing they could both agree on was that the other was full of shit.

Lily, having walked into—whatever she’d walked into between him and Sirius on the outdoor terrace—was convinced there was more going on between them than he was letting on. He, on the other hand, thought nothing more of Sirius Black than he would any other actor who passed through Hogwarts. And he was sure if he repeated those words enough times, they would come true. Eventually. Probably. https://archiveofourown.org/works/31384160/chapters/82764319

Ghostlight Ch.2

“Sirius Black, star of the critically acclaimed Marauder’s Map series, is finally making his return to the spotlight. After the franchise’s fifth and final film released, there were rumors Black had been offered several roles by some of this generation’s most prominent directors (Scorsese and Tarantino among others), but surprised everyone in Hollywood by taking a step back from acting altogether.

“Never one to be shy in front of the camera, Black spent his subsequent years plastered across all the major tabloids: from wild nights out, to drunken altercations with paparazzi, tall tales from this falling star were abundant. Most notably Black was caught on tape in a full out brawl by fans outside New York’s notorious burlesque club, Veela. Bystanders witnessed Black punching none other than Marauder’s costar, James Potter. Not long after, Black vanished from public life altogether following the death of his younger brother, Regulus Black in 2019.

“Now the 26-year-old actor has decided to return to the spotlight, albeit on a much smaller scale. This fall, audiences can see Black at Hogwarts Circle’s Gryffindor Theater, performing in Alastor Moody’s newest play, The Glass Eye . Now, five years after the Marauder’s franchise ended, only time will tell if this star is still the brightest in the sky, or if it burnt out a long time ago.”
