The morning sun is shining, the birds are happily chirping in the trees, and Slyth hates existence. Everything was just too happy and cheery and loud (the literal and the metaphorical sense).
Urgh...
Tock tock.
There was a knock on the door. “Come out, Slyth. We’re gonna be late!”
“Leave me alone.....”, they growled, pulling the bedsheets over their head and trying to fade into nothingness...
(Y/N) rubbed their temple as they tried to focus on the piece of paper that laid in front of them. They glanced at the clock, sipping the coffee that had been laying on the desk.
“Babe.” Remus called as he tried to get his loved one’s attention. (Y/N) only glanced at him before sighing to themself. “Sorry, I’ll be in bed in 5 minutes.”
Remus pouted, “You’ve been saying that for the past 2 hours!” He whined, only to be ignored. (Y/N) chugged their coffee down as they struggled to keep their eyes open. (Y/N) grabbed their wand and accio’d another cup of warm coffee.
(Y/N)’s eyes were gradually becoming heavier by the second, they stretched their upper half and slapped themself in attempt to keep them awake. They flinched in surprise when they felt arms snake around their waist.
“Babe.” Remus whispered in their ear, which successfully sent shivers down their spine. He planted a kiss on their temple before slowly leading their sleepy form into bed.
They tried to resist, but their eyes wouldn’t stay open. “No, I can’t Remus. I have to study.” They breathed out. “You need a break. You’ve been staying up in my dorm for the past week. That’s not healthy.”
Remus laid on the bed and opened his arms. “Come on. Let’s cuddle.” He whispered loud enough for them to hear. (Y/N) sleepily crawled into his arms and fell immediately fell asleep.
Remus wrapped his arms around them and smiled in content. ‘Oh how could I have been so fortunate.’ He thought as he placed a kiss on their forehead.
It had been over three days now since Ravenclaw had properly talked to Slytherin.
Rav barely managed to walk straight (well, they never did anything “straight” but that is not the point) and their handwriting got more and more sloppy to the point were it was almost unreadable. They had dark circles under their eyes and were daydreaming in class.
But the worst part were the tremors. It always started when Rav didn’t get enough coffee......or too much...
It worried Slyth so much that they were barely able to sleep.
Sleep? Sleep!
They hadn’t... they wouldn’t... would they?
Slyth paced through the room as they wen’t through the signs:
1. talks less (especially to Slyth)
2. less attentive
3. tremors
4. daydreaming
5. handwriting: worse
They had all the signs of sleep deprivation. This called for darstic measures.
Slyth rummaged through their drawers looking for a special item they had made for this exact occasion: parchment induced with sleeping draught and enchanted to “explode” after being read.
They wrote down only one sentence. One that would make Rav realise what was about to happen just as they’ll be about to fall asleep.
Sirius knocked on (Y/N)’s door. “Come in.” A scratchy voice said and a cough followed after.
“How are you feeling?” Sirius softly asked, “I’m fine.” (Y/N) coughed making Sirius scoff. “Yeah, sure.” He extended his arm over to (Y/N) to check her temperature.
He just clicked his tounge in response to the warm sensation and stood up. “Where are you going?” (Y/N) coughed as they attempted to stand up, only to end up falling down on the floor.
“Merlin!” Sirius sighed as he caught (Y/N) in his arms, “I won’t be gone too long, love.” He kissed her forehead, “I’ll just be in your kitchen and i’ll be back with some soup.”He carefully placed (Y/N) back onto the bed and entered the kitchen.
Now, Sirius wasn’t the best cook, but he knew how to make some decent chicken soup. He rummaged through her fridge (and freezer where he got himself some chips) to look for some ingredients.
He started out by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces and pouring it into a pot of water. He added some flavouring into the pot and proceeded to to the same with the vegetables.
Sirius grabbed the ladel that laid in the warm pot of soup. He poured some soup in a bowl and placed it on a tray. He picked up the tray that consisted of soup and a glass of water in it and headed back to (Y/N)’s room.
Slightly kicking the door, Sirius used his foot to open it. “Wake up, sweetie.” He calls as he placed the tray on the bedside table.
He gently shook them awake, causing them to stir. “Sirius?” They groan, their voice less scratchy than it was before.
Sirius helped them sit up gently. He placed his hand on her forehead to few her temperature, “Your fever went down a bit, but I made you some soup to make you feel better.” He smiled.
(Y/N) grabbed the bowl of soup that sat next to them, only to be grabbed by Sirius. “Sirius!” They whined, dragging the last syllables of his name out.
This caused him to chuckle and shove a spoonful in (Y/N)’s mouth. They hummed in response.
After swallowing the contents of food that was in their mouth, they lied back down on the bed on their side.
Sirius sighed and lied down with them, spooning them under his body. (Y/N) squirmed under his touch and tried to push him away.
(Y/N) rolled over to their other side to face Sirius and tried to push him away. “You’ll get sick!” They coughed out making Sirius scoff, “Yeah, and you were supposed to eat.”
(Y/N) just buried their face in Sirius’ chest. He smiled at their action and wrapped an arm around their waist. He ran his fingers through their hair and smiled in content.
He was about to fall asleep when he felt (Y/N) squirm under him. (Y/N) traced Sirius’ lips with their index finger.
He opened his eyes and grabbed (Y/N)’s hand, causing them to be alarmed. Sirius stared deep into their loving eyes and gently crashed his lip into theirs.
(Y/N) kissed back with just as much passion and they both fell asleep in each other’s arms.
(Y/N) walked around the hallways of Hogwarts with their nose buried in a book. They would often bump into things, usually muttering a quiet “I’m sorry” whenever they did.
This behaviour of hers caught the eye of the ever-so famous James Potter. James’ infatuation with Lily slowly transferred to the beautiful (Y/N). He doesn’t know when it happened exactly, but if he were to guess, it would be the time they accidentally bumped into him in the hallways whilst having their nose far into the book.
“Yeah, and so I said-” James was cut off by someone harshly bumping into him, causing the book they were reading- and James’ glasses to fly off. “I’m so sorry!” (Y/N) apologized as they gave James’ glasses back.
James was so enthralled by their beauty, they took his breath away. Before he knew it, (Y/N) was walking away with their nose in the book. “Hey Padfoot, who was that?”
-
After their little encounter, James would often find himself looking for (Y/N). Strolling along the hallway, he found (Y/N) heading to their next class; Astronomy.
Before the class started, (Y/N) took out their paper and quill, along with their textbook and patiently waited for the professor. She was quietly doodling in her seat when a new presence alerted her. She looked at James, looked at him from head to toe. “What? Did I take your breath away, (L/N)?” James asked smugly making (Y/N)’s scrunch up in confusion.
“I’m sorry, what? Who are you?” They asked, “The name’s James Potter, but you can call me the man of your dreams.” He winked making (Y/N) smile, “Oh well, I think calling you ‘the man of your dreams’ is a weird nickname so, i’ll call you Potter instead.”
James just chuckled at her reaction and attempted to bring up a conversation with her.
It’s been two years since (Y/N) and James met, they’ve both grown so much in the past few years and they have gotten much closer than before. So close that one might mistake them for a couple.
James had met up with (Y/N) in the library to study for the upcoming exams they had in a few days.
-
James couldn’t concentrate, not when he was alone with them! (Y/N) was the only one who make his heart feel like it’s going to jump out of his chest and it drives him crazy! James would sneakily glance at (Y/N); unbeknownst him, (Y/N) knew he was sneaking glances at them.
(Y/N) finally decided to just catch James in the act of glancing at her every 30 seconds. “Do you need something?” (Y/N) asked slightly amused. James gave them a big grin, “Sorry, you’re so cute it’s distracting.” (Y/N) looked at him weirdly, “Do you want me to leave so that you could study?”
James’ eyes became wide, “Wait- no- erm- that’s not what I meant!” James said loudly causing the librarian to let out a loud shushing noise. James looked back in his book, cheeks red due to embarrassment. He ran his hand through his hair and decided to boldly look at (Y/N).
“You want to know what my shirt’s made of? Boyfriend material.”
(Y/N) stared at him, “Are you hitting on me?” They ask as they put their book down on their lap. James’ ears turned red as he was not expecting a different reaction. “Have been for the past years, but thanks for noticing.” He smiled.
(Y/N) stood up and sat next to him, “Well, even if your shirt is technically made of cotton, I guess it is quite easy to maintain.” (Y/N) took his hand in her own and smiled, she leaned in and crashed their lips against his.
James was surprised. fireworks were exploding in his chest, butterflies were fluttering in his stomach, and his head was blank; despite all that, he kissed back.
