─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Y/n spent the Christmas break with Circe and Owen in the Ainsworth manor. Owen's parents were on a trip to their cozy cabin in Norway, so the teenagers had the house to themselves. Evenings were the best, because the girls were playing on a grand piano that stood in the living room, while Owen was drawing some quidditch tactics in his notebook. He always sat on an armchair, nearby the piano because the music helped him focus.

Y/n was trying to keep herself busy most of the time, because in every 'free' moment she caught herself thinking about Sirius. Where did he spend Christmas? How did he spend Christmas? Was he alright? He was often on Y/n's mind, she missed him a lot. That one argue was a mistake.

One evening, the electricity went off. It kind of scared the three friends. Now the only source of light was the fireplace that was in front of Owen's armchair.

"Bloody hell," the boy cursed under his breath, "it's probably the weather's fault."

Indeed, the weather was awful that day. It was raining since morning, later on there was also a thunder.

"What do we do now?" Y/n asked, as the piano's sound dramatically stopped.

"Mum's got some candles in the drawers, we can use them. Circe, can you look for some candleholders? They're in the cupboard."

"Sure." Circe answered, making her way to the cupboard.

Y/n and Owen found three candles - one for each person. Suddenly they heard Circe's scream, so they ran her way.

"Owen, you freak, do you keep a bloody skull in here?!" The girl sounded terrified. "I think it's a skull, I can't see it well though."

"This is a candleholder." Owen started laughing.

They all lit up their candles and placed them in the skull-shaped candleholders. Y/n thought they looked pretty cool and kind of realistic. Not that she has ever seen a real skull in person, but she did in books.

The electricity didn't seem to be back anytime soon. The three friends sat together in Owen's room and talked. They were all on the floor

"So what's gonna happen with you and Reg's brother?" Circe asked.

"We had our fun, but it ended." Y/n admitted, trying to hide that she's sad about it. "I didn't expect it to last long, honestly."

"I told you you shouldn't mess around with Gryffindors." Owen pointed out. "I'm the most rational of us yet you never listen to me!"

"I don't want to say you're right, but you are right."

"I also know you'll forgive him whenever he apologizes."

"I will not!"

"We'll see about that."

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Time passes extremely quickly when you're having fun, the Christmas break came to an end in a blink of an eye. Y/n couldn't believe they were back at Hogwarts already.

January. The beginning of the new year. What will the 1976 bring? Nobody knew. Y/n and Sirius didn't exchange a single word. Still, neither of the Marauders tried talking to Y/n. She didn't try talking to them either.

February. Y/n still missed Sirius. They often looked at each other, taking any opportunity they had. Sirius' eyes were tired, he looked like he wasn't getting enough sleep. He wasn't seen with any girl since the break ended, which was weird. Y/n expected him to find someone new after her immediately. There were even rumors some girls asked him out for a date on the Valentine's day, but he declined.

March. Y/n wanted to apologize to Sirius but her pride didn't let her. She tried pushing thoughts about him aside, but it was almost impossible. Nights were the most difficult, because before falling asleep she was thinking about Sirius. Then, in the mornings she was seeing him in the Great Hall, which made everything worse. She couldn't even focus during the lessons which Slytherin and Gryffindor had together.

That one day was different. For the first night in a while, Y/n didn't dream about Sirius. Also, in the morning she didn't notice him in the Great Hall. What could happen?

"I'm done with it." Before one of the DADA classes, Remus decided to talk to Y/n.

"I know, DADA with Cieran is shit. He isn't a teacher material." The girl knew what he meant, but she tried avoiding the topic.

"I mean you and Sirius."

"Oh, no. Me and this git wouldn't be the best teachers either. You could though."

"Not that. You-"

Then the bell rang, starting the class. Cieran quickly appeared by the classroom door, opening it and letting the students inside. Remus grabbed Y/n by the wrist and dragged her to sit with him in the order to continue the conversation.

"You have to talk to Sirius." The boy insisted.

"Remus, no." Y/n whisper-shouted. "It's over. For good."

"But it's important!" Now Remus was also whisper-shouting.

"I don't care about him anymore!"

"We all know you both do care about each other. Don't be so up your own arse for once, Y/n."

Out of a sudden, they heard and saw a hand hit the surface of their desk. It was loud and aggressive. The hand belonged to, obviously, Y/n's brother.

"I'm talking." Cieran's voice was annoyed.

"So are we," Y/n argued, "and clearly we aren't done."

"Ten points from Slytherin and Gryffindor."

"Cieran, you're my-"

"-teacher, yes. I'm telling professor Slughorn about your back talk. Now, back to the lesson."

Y/n saw Remus taking a piece of paper and writing something on it. Right after it, he slid the paper to the girl. She read it.

Walk to the fountain after the class. No questions and no declining.

She sent Remus an icy stare and the boy smiled at her with one of his kindest smiles.

And so when the class finished, Y/n told Circe and Owen not to wait for her. Then, she walked where Remus told her to go. The area was rather empty, there were only some younger students playing Gobstones. And right by the fountain, to Y/n's surprise, stood Sirius Black.

"Hey," he said, smiling lightly, "I'm glad you wanted to talk."

"Remus told me to come here, I do it for him." Y/n kept a straight face.

"Look, I'm really sorry. And I don't say it often, so appreciate it."

Finally, a small smile found its way on Y/n's face. She walked closer to Sirius. At this point she didn't even remember what she was angry about.

"I am sorry as well." Y/n admitted. "I totally overreacted."

"I'm glad you understand your mistake." The boy joked.

Y/n gave Sirius a friendly, light punch on the arm. They both started laughing and playfully pushing each other, until they fell into the fountain.

"You're wet." Sirius pointed out, still laughing.

"And so are you, Black!" Y/n nudged him.

"Yeah," it didn't seem like a problem to him, "isn't that fun?"

They started splashing water at each other. They were kind of loud, catching attention of professor McGonagall, who happened to be walking by. The woman walked up to the fountain in a quick pace, but she didn't seem to be angry.

"Mr Black, Miss Hannigan!" She said, shaking her head. "I'm glad you made up."

"Thank you, Minnie." Sirius smiled at her.

"Now get out of the fountain before another teacher sees you."

Minerva walked away as Sirius and Y/n began getting out of water. When they were on the way to their dormitories, they caught other students' attention. Including their friends. The rest three Marauders stood in a corridor with Circe and Owen.

"This wasn't what I imagined would happen," Remus chuckled, "but it was expectable."

"We made up." Sirius smiled proudly, taking Y/n's hand in his. He noticed James opening his mouth, so he quickly added, "not out! We could though..."

Sirius turned his face to Y/n and leaned in, expecting a kiss. The girl put her pointing finger on his lips.

"Don't be so quick, Black." She smiled.

"Back on the last name basis, I see."

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Months had passed, Y/n and Sirius weren't in a relationship, but there was something between them again. After the small downfall, they had to try to make each other's friends warm up to them again, which wasn't so easy. Circe and Remus were getting along well, at least.

June meant the end of the school year and a little bit of a break from the constant pressure of studying. OWLs weren't as difficult as Y/n thought. She hoped for good results.

After the last breakfast of their 5th year and before the departure to the train station, Y/n, Circe and Owen decided to take a walk around the Lake. The sky was cloudy but it didn't seem to be going to rain anytime soon.

Suddenly, clouds weren't the only thing on the sky. James and Sirius flew high up in the sky on their brooms, taking out their wands. They started shooting a lot of little sparkles out of their wands. James' sparkles formed a few pink hearts, while Sirius' sparkles turned into a question "Will you be my girlfriend?". After a while, Sirius landed on the ground, giving his broom to James who was now standing between Remus and Peter. Then Sirius walked up to Y/n.

"So?" He asked. "Will you?"

Y/n was astonished, but after a moment she smiled. The girl didn't have to think long about the answer. It was obvious.

"Yes." She replied, wanting to hug Sirius, but he kissed her instead.

The whole show gathered attention of many other students. They all started clapping, Y/n and Sirius felt like main characters of some kind of a theatre play.

"Northcott," Y/n heard James' voice, "you owe me five galleons."

"No way!" Circe disclaimed. "You most likely knew Black had been planning it."

"I found out a few days ago!"

Y/n and Sirius walked up to their friends.

"What are you talking about?" The girl asked.

"We had a bet," James smiled, "Northcott said you'll get in a relationship after the summer holiday and I said before. Remus also said before, but he thought you'll ask Sirius out. Peter thought it'll happen during the holidays."

"James!" Sirius shouted, giving a friendly nudge to his best friend. "You were the one encouraging me to do it as soon as possible."

"We didn't say it wasn't allowed!" James raised his both hands, laughing.

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Two hours later all of the Hogwarts students were on the train on the way back to Kings Cross. Circe, Owen and Regulus were alone in one of the compartments. Someone was missing.

"When is Y/n going to join us?" Regulus asked. He didn't know what happened two hours earlier.

"She's with the Gryffindor blokes." Circe answered casually.

"She ditched her friends for her boyfriend." Owen put his hand on his chest, pretending to be hurt.

"Her boyfriend?" The youngest Slytherin was very much confused. "We talked just yesterday, she didn't tell me anything."

"Your..." Circe didn't know how to say it, however she did it, she knew Regulus would be hurt, "Reg, your brother asked her out. Like two hours ago."

"Oh. Alright. I guess." Regulus visibly saddened, but he didn't want to show it, so he quickly changed the subject of the conversation.

After a few hours the train reached the destination. Everyone began exiting it, some seventh years were crying as they hugged each other. When Y/n and the Marauders were talking, Circe walked up to them.

"I just came to say if you hurt her, I'll hurt you. If she cries, I won't hesitate to use Cruciatus." The girl announced with a serious expression on her face as she looked at Sirius.

"Sounds insane," Peter pointed out, "you'd end up in Azkaban."

"You don't get it. We would kill for each other." Circe and Y/n said in unison.

"I've got to, " Circe's face saddened, "my parents are waiting. Write to me sometimes." She gave Y/n a hug and walked away.

"I see my mum, I'll go too." Peter announced, also walking away.

Y/n, Sirius, James and Remus kept talking, but suddenly they were interrupted by Cieran, who looked very annoyed. He gave the boys a mean stare and grabbed Y/n's wrist.

"I'm done waiting." He said.

"I'm talking to my friends." The girl protested, trying to not let him pull her away.

"Don't tell parents you're friends with...this sort of people. They changed you. A lot. Father won't like it."

"I didn't change, I-"

"And I don't care. We're going home. And back there, you're acting normal."

"Or what?"

"Shut up."

The siblings used apparition to go home, it was the fastest way.

Words couldn't describe how much Y/n hated her so-called 'home'. The house maybe was beautiful, but it was so dark. The atmosphere inside it was disgusting. The walls witnessed a lot of awful things. Parents provided that kids everything they needed in the material meaning. But if we talked about emotional bonds, they were more of hosts, than parents. Cieran grew up not minding it all and now Y/n saw he was so much like their father.

"Good afternoon, mother." The siblings greeted, as they walked inside.

A blonde, young-looking woman looked at them, moving her eyes from a book she was reading. Emerald Hannigan. She was in her middle fourties, but her face didn't seem to change much during the past twenty years.

"Welcome back." She answered in an angelic voice. Judging just by the sound of her voice, people would think Emerald was a real angel. But her icy blue eyes were hiding a devil.

When the father, Oliver, came home, he wanted to chat a bit about school. He seemed more interested in what Cieran had to say, since it was his first year being a teacher. Plus, there was some business he was very interested in.

Y/n went to her room and decided to stay there until dinner. She sighted, sitting on her bed. The girl didn't feel like unpacking her trunk just yet. She was angry about the situation at King's Cross.

Her family surely wouldn't want her to be friends with the Marauders, it wouldn't surprise her if she got disowned when parents found out that Sirius is her boyfriend. Cieran was right, Marauders had an influence on Y/n, not the kind of influence Y/n's family would like. She smiled at the ridiculous thought how a bunch of boys her age felt more like a family than her actual family. They understood her. They made her want to become a better person, a person who isn't scared to stomp on her family's beliefs. She was going to tell her parents about dating Sirius. Definitely.

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Dinner was so boring. Food was great, the house elf, Daisy, knew the best receipts. Y/n would never nag about the food Daisy makes. It was the stupid conversation that make the dinner boring. Oliver talked about school, about Y/n having to get good grades. He seemed to care about it more than she cared. Y/n felt as if her own father didn't believe in her possibilities. She was a really smart witch.

When Y/n finished eating, she was immediately asked to leave the dining room. She wanted to help Daisy with the plates, but Emerald said that a pureblood witch should never do it. They all thought house elves are some kind of slaves or something, another thing Y/n didn't understand. She had a special bond with Daisy, she liked talking with her, she mostly spent time with her when she was at home.

"Has anyone seen your dark mark?" As Y/n was on the way to her room, she heard her father whispering.

The girl hid in the staircase. It was a good spot to eavesdrop. The more she wasn't supposed to know, the more she wanted to know.

"Yes, I'm afraid." Cieran's quiet voice said. "Dumbledore might know about it. I am so sorry, father."

"You had one thing to do!"

And there Y/n heard her father slamming his fist on the table. This man had some serious anger issues. But which pureblood didn't?

"Cieran, you know we need our people at Hogwarts."

"If I get fired, there's also Regulus..."

"Yes, we all know. He's very eager to become one of us and work for the Dark Lord."

Out of a sudden, Y/n felt a light tap on her shoulder. It caused her to jump up a little, but thankfully it was just the house elf.

"What is miss Y/n doing?" Daisy asked.

"I...was looking for an earring." Y/n lied, pretending she found something on the floor and putting 'it' in a pocket of her pants. "Found it."

"Good. Daisy noticed an owl outside miss Y/n's window so Daisy let it in."

"Thank you, Daisy."

After giving the elf a smile, Y/n rushed to her room. She saw a black owl with golden eyes. It was sitting on the desk with a letter in its beak. Y/n gently took the letter and gave the owl a pat on the head.

My love,

I told my parents about you. They want to meet you as soon as possible. 12 Grimmauld Place, hidden by the Fidelius Charm. It would be nice if you could come tomorrow.

Yours, S.O.B.

The owl was staring at Y/n with its huge eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'm writing." The girl said, as if she felt that the owl expected to be handed letter to deliver to Sirius.

Y/n reached for a quill, a piece of paper and some ink. She kept a few in her desk even though she barely was home.

Dear Sirius,

I'll gladly come tomorrow at 1pm. I'm happy about it, because I've already started missing you.

Lots of love, Y/n

The letter was short, but it was all Y/n managed to think about. She wasn't experienced in all the dating stuff, she had no idea how to write a letter to a lover. After giving the owl the letter, Y/n let it outside.

Sirius was making Y/n feel butterflies in her stomach, it was such a strange and new feeling to her. Was it good? Was it going to last long?
