Grimmauld Place’s First Merry Christmas - Sirius Black X Wife!Reader
Tumblr media
summary: Sirius Black had largely considered Grimmauld Place to be the most miserable place on Earth, second only to Azkaban itself. So when, for the first time in his life, he feels genuinely happy there, surrounded by his loved ones, he can’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude.
word count: 1.2k
themes: FLUFF
warnings: none
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
The radiance of the fire and the joyous laughter of his friends enveloped Sirius Black as he leaned against the mantelpiece, watching the snowflakes dance in the glow of the street lights outside. He took a sip of his mulled wine, relishing in the spices that tingled on his tongue.
As he enjoyed his quiet moment, Sirius couldn't help but overhear the boisterous conversation happening across the room between Mad-Eye Moody and Mundungus Fletcher.
"Oi, Dung, keep your eyes off the presents under the tree," Moody grumbled, his magical eye fixed on the thief.
Mundungus let out a nervous laugh, his eyes darting towards the twinkling Christmas tree. "Who, me? I was just admiring them from afar."
Arthur Weasley chuckled at the exchange, "You know, Moody, maybe we should put someone on watch duty for the night. Make sure he doesn't try anything."
Mundungus shifted uncomfortably in his seat, but before he could protest, Bill Weasley spoke up, "Maybe we should let him have one present as a reward for being such a good boy this year. After all, he’s not been chucked into Azkaban just yet."
Laughter erupted around the room, and Sirius couldn't help but join in. He was surrounded by his loved ones, and their playful banter was just another reminder of how lucky he was to have them.
His eyes then settled on you, who was sitting on a plush armchair by the fire, lost in thought as you observed Fred, George and Ginny‘s antics as they played a particularly competitive game of exploding snap. Sirius smiled softly, admiring how beautiful you looked in the warm glow of the firelight.
He walked over to you, taking a seat on the armrest of your chair,
“I could feel you staring, you know.” you remarked, playfully
“Can’t I appreciate my stunning wife on Christmas Eve?” a smirk played at Sirius’s lips, “You know I can’t help myself when you’re around, darling,” he responded, as his fingers traced your back lightly, his eyes still transfixed on you, causing your heart to flutter rapidly.
"What are you thinking about?" you asked, regaining your composure and taking his hand in yours.
"Just enjoying the moment," he replied, candidly.
Sirius couldn't help but feel an overwhelming gratitude that fuelled his entire body, for being alive and surrounded by the people he loved. He looked around at the members of the Order who were gathered in the room, all chatting and laughing together.
"Merlin, I never thought I'd see the day when you'd hear jubilation in this house," he joked, nudging your shoulder lightly.
You chuckled softly, gazing lovingly at the gathering of all their friends. "It's amazing how much things can change, isn't it?"
Sirius nodded, smiling at her. "Yeah, it is. And I'm so grateful for every moment we have together."
You turned your head to look at him, a soft smile gracing her lips. "Me too, Sirius. You have no idea how much you mean to me."
Sirius leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "I think I do," he whispered, his eyes never leaving yours.
At that moment, Lupin approached you both, a warm smile spread across his face.
“What are you two lovebirds talking about?” he teases, taking a seat on the armchair next to you.
“Oh, nothing much.” you replied, playfully nudging Sirius, “Just relishing in the Christmas spirit.”
“Don’t think we’re the only lovebirds here if I'm not mistaken.” Sirius said, a mischievous glint in his eyes, “Could have sworn I saw you and Tonks snogging in the hall earlier.”
Remus chuckled, though his face had gone slightly pink. He took a sip of his own mulled wine. “Well, it's good to see you both so happy. You deserve it, after everything you've been through.”
Sirius nodded, a sombre expression crossing his face for a moment before he shook it off. He sighed, “Yeah we do. And I'm glad we have all of you to celebrate it with.”
The three of you chatted for a while, Sirius and Remus reminiscing about their time at Hogwarts. “Remember the time you and James levitated all the furniture to the ceiling in McGonagall’s office?”
Sirius let out a bark of laughter, “Oh, she was livid! But it was worth it just to see Minnie’s face when she walked into her empty office.”
“Yeah, but if I remember correctly it was up to me to get you both out of detention.”
“Yeah, we were a pair of right little terrors. We needed you, Remus, to keep us out of trouble.”
At the mention of James, Sirius’s eyes fell on Harry, Ron and Hermione who were joking and chatting amongst themselves in the corner of the room. A wave of happiness crashed over him. It meant everything to Sirius to know that despite the danger they faced, Harry was still able to find joy in these small moments and just be a teenager.
“Hey, you lot!” he called out, gesturing for them to come over. “Why don't you join the old folks for a couple of drinks?”
The trio grinned and made their way over, settling themselves on the floor by the fire.
As the night began to wind down, one by one, everyone began to make their way up to bed, saying their goodnights and exchanging heartfelt hugs and kisses. You had gotten up to make your way to your bedroom too, when Sirius wrapped his hand around your wrist and pulled you back to the armchair.
“Sirius- it’s nearly midnight!” you let out a gasp of surprise.
“Just stay here with me a little bit longer,” Sirius pleaded, his eyes locking onto yours. “I don't want the night to end just yet.”, peppering gentle kisses down the side of your neck.
A blush began to dust your cheeks, unable to ignore the way his lips burnt into your skin, “Alright, but only for a little while.”
Sirius sighed contentedly, resting his head on your shoulder. The two of you sat there in silence for a few moments, just enjoying the warmth of each other's company.
“You know, I never thought I'd be able to celebrate Christmas like this,” Sirius spoke up, breaking the silence. “With you, Harry, and all our friends. It's more than I could have ever hoped for.”
You ran your fingers through his curls, smiling softly. “I'm just glad you're here with us, Sirius. You deserve all the happiness in the world.”
Sirius lifted his head to look at you, his eyes glassy with emotion. “I am happy, Y/N,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “Happier than I've been in a long time. And it's all because of you.”
You leaned in, capturing his lips in a tender kiss. It was a kiss that conveyed all the love and gratitude that Sirius had felt in his heart. When you pulled away, he smiled at you, his eyes crinkling at the corners.
“Come on, let's go to bed,” you said, standing up and pulling him with you.
As you made your way up the stairs, Sirius's heart felt as though it had swelled about ten times its size. He had found happiness after all those years of despair and loneliness.
As he climbed into bed, wrapping his arms around you, and pulling you close, he knew that he had everything he needed right here in this moment : his family, his friends, and the love of his life. And for the first time in a long time, he felt truly content.

wolfstar headcanons that ✨just make sense✨
french sirius and welsh remus
they would speak to each other in their different languages all the time, mostly just to mess with each other.
they’d also say really romantic things, but in their different language, so the other wouldn’t know
remus is like insanely tall, but always slouches, whereas sirius is literally a dwarf but stands up really tall (talk about that ✨aristocracy✨ you know)
when remus had his growth spurt in the summer of fifth year, sirius was, understandably, shocked
but also maybe a little annoyed
how was he supposed to kiss him now?
in the end he decided to just grab his tie and pull him down
which remus didn't particularly mind
remus keeps his hair short, because it gets in the way. sirius loves remus' hair, because of how curly it is - remus hates it for the same reason
'I look like an idiot, pads!'
'no, you look cute.'
after sirius started living with the potters', his hair grew long, finally free of the strict rules of grimmauld place
when remus saw his long hair for the first time, on the train platform, he fell in love with him a little more
sirius turns into padfoot on the days surrounding the full moon to comfort remus. he’s literally like a therapy dog at this point.
sirius’ bed hasn’t been slept in since fifth year
cuddles
so many cuddles
lots of pda, much to james’ disgust
‘ugh, you guys, get a room!’
‘prongsie stop being homophobic.’
‘im not- what am i even supposed to say to that??’
‘nothing, that’s the point.’
sirius has a tattoo of the full moon that changes with the moon phases and remus has a tattoo of the canis major constellation - while the rest are just inked on, the sirius star seems to be actually glowing.
remus always seems to lose his jumpers, even though they’re some of his most valued items of clothing. he will eventually find sirius wearing them, but he can’t even be mad because sirius just looks so adorable in them.
remus, in return, will steal sirius’ leather jacket, which sirius doesn’t particularly mind. james, however, gets especially mad whenever this happens
‘well how come he’s allowed to wear it and I’m not? I’m literally your brother!’
sirius rests his head on remus’ lap whilst remus reads to him, and remus will stroke his hand through sirius' hair
remus loves to french plait his hair, and sirius is adamant about leaving the plait in for as long as possible
‘sirius, it’s been three days, you need to wash your hair! I can always re-plait it!’
‘...fine. but only if you promise.’
remus is constantly freezing cold, which shows through the countless jumpers and scarves he will pile on, even in the height of summer
his feet alone are like blocks of ice, which sirius never misses an opportunity to complain about whenever they share a bed
sirius, on the other hand, is a human sauna, and will still be wearing shorts in the middle of winter
when they cuddle, their contrasting levels of body heat cancel each other out perfectly
basically, whenever remus gets too cold, or sirius gets too hot, you’ll undoubtedly find them clinging to each other
sirius always gets really worried after the full moon, and insists on looking after remus - he makes sure he has enough pillows, sneaks him food because the hospital wing food isn’t the nicest, makes him drink water, takes notes for him during the lessons he misses, and just generally stays by his side as long as he can, until madam pomfrey has to kick him out
sirius worries so much during and after the full moon that it often makes remus feel guilty, but he also finds it really sweet that sirius cares so much
he still tries to make sirius see sense and stop him from worrying, because he has really bad self esteem issues after the full moon and doesn’t think he deserves it. whenever he tries to tell sirius this, he says that sirius shouldn’t feel obligated to look after him, because he’s a monster.
every single time, sirius will take his hand, look into his eyes, and tell him firmly, ‘you are not a monster, moony.’
peter will then add that ‘you fold your socks, moony, we’re not exactly scared of you.’
and remus will wonder how he got so lucky as to have such amazing friends
whenever sirius is ill, remus will try his best to return the favour. sirius will insist that he doesn’t get ill, ‘don’t worry, remus, I’m fine’, even though he can barely move
but remus won’t listen, and turns into a proper mother hen, fussing over him and making sure he has everything he need, just trying to repay sirius for all he does during the full moons
illness = constant cuddles
but lbr there are constant cuddles regardless
they got together because they both kept confiding in james and lily about their unrequited feelings and how hopelessly in love they were, and james and lily got sick of it and decided to work together to set them up bc they were both so hopelessly oblivious.
that’s also how lily got to know james better, and see that he wasn’t as arrogant as she thought, and he actually cares deeply about his friends
but these are wolfstar headcanons not jily so moving on
they had a very touchy feely relationship even before they got together. they were always very close, and their bond was different than it was with james and peter
sirius loves to bake, whilst remus loves to cook, but if they try to do it the other way around, bad things happen
they would often sneak into the kitchens late at night and try to make something, fool around, mess up, and end up snogging surrounded by the mess of ingredients
late nights on the astronomy tower!! they did this even before they got together; when either of them couldn’t sleep, they would go up there and just sit together and look at the stars. their first date was a picnic up there, and it became their own special place where they both felt safe
nose kisses!! forehead kisses!! cheek kisses!! adorable
whenever they're messing about they'll almost always end up in each others arms, saying ‘I hate you’ whilst grinning bc they both know that they don’t mean it and it’s actually the exact opposite
when sirius can’t sleep, he’ll watch remus (in like. a non-creepy way) and count his freckles. once remus caught him in the act and thought it was the softest thing he’d ever seen
remus talks in his sleep. sometimes he just mutters random words that don’t make sense, and sometimes he can have full on conversations with sirius.
sirius thinks it’s the funniest thing ever and teases remus mercilessly about it in the mornings, even though remus has no memory of it and denies everything.
when they’re alone in the hospital wing after a full moon, sirius will hold remus’ hand and sing softly to comfort him and help him sleep.
remus absolutely adores sirius' voice, and tries to get him to sing more, and in front of other people, but sirius is adamant that the only reason he sings to remus is because it helps soothe him, and his voice isn’t all that great.
his lack of self confidence about his voice is due to his parents constantly yelling at him to stop singing, because they said it was annoying and he didn’t have a good voice, and he believed them, and still does. It’s one of his biggest insecurities.
the first time they said they loved each other was actually an accident. they had gotten all caught up in planning a prank and sirius smirked and said, ‘aren’t i just the most creative person you’ve ever met?’, with a dramatic flip of his hair
remus just chuckled and replied, ‘that’s why I love you.’
remus didn’t even realise he’d said it out loud until he saw sirius staring at him with a dropped jaw.
then remus panicked, but before he could get up and leave, sirius grinned and said it back.
and then they kissed, obviously
remus may be tough and sarcastic and sirius may be proud and overconfident but they’re both big softies really
remus cheers sirius on at every single quidditch practice, come rain or shine
he says he’s just supporting his boyfriend, but secretly he thinks Sirius looks really good in that quidditch jersey
remus loves it when sirius wears eyeliner. no reason. just looks cool.
literally everyone had a bet on when they would get together. minnie and dumbledore, james and pete, lily and marlene, james and lily, james and dorcas...
james likes betting
there are frequent updates on their relationship in the staff room, because all of the teachers just know they're meant to be
the teachers had a field day when they first got together
madam pomfrey, especially, always sees them together in the hospital wing, and by fourth year, is their no1 shipper
they both get frequent nightmares, and will always comfort each other and cuddle after because they feel safe in each other’s arms.
literally the least toxic relationship ever. they’re both incredibly honest with each other, always talk to each other about how they feel, but also have that perfect balance of banter
if not soulmates, why moon and stars??

So, I’m constantly checking this tumblr nowadays because I’m a mountain troll who is desperate for all TLE content. Anyway, I have been having #thoughts on why JKR didn’t share any Jily further details for the past 14 years, and so because I don’t want to work, I thought I’d present them here (- sorry!): (1/?)
1. Immediately after DH, I thought we were obviously getting a First War prequel. I mean Jily, Snape, Regulus, the Marauders, heck even Barty Crouch Jnr. - It felt like so much could be further explored. (2/?)
2. In the intermittent years, I’d (almost) accepted as a fan that romance was definitely not JKR’s forte and that actually she probably saved Jily in many ways by not writing about it. (3/?)
3. Wonder if it’s because the Marauders fandom is so big that that’s the actual reason whether she never wrote a prequel/more info. She knew it would never satisfy us all, especially as so many of us are Wolfstar fans — and we know she’s adamant not to include that. (4/?)
4. Return to the fandom in lockdown and see all the JP hate on Quora. Worry a little bit that that they’ve convinced me that Snape was meant to her true love and JP was just the guy who she married for *plot reasons*. (*Obviously and thankfully I’ve moved on from this!*) (5/?)
5. Me, now, an intellectual: I think you’re right. JKR didn’t know what she had and maybe if she did by DH, she didn’t know how to write it convincingly. Snape’s love story needed to happen - it was his redemption arc. And, although The Prince’s Tale is of course an excellent chapter, unrequited love is *I feel* always a lot easier to write. I also wonder maybe we don’t hear more about Jily because she felt it would detract from Snape’s redemption/the focus on *his* love…. (6/7)
… I personally don’t think it would have done but… you know. Maybe she was expecting everyone to ship Snily at the end, or at least it be a 50:50 split, but we all know that never happened. I do find it weird that she never gave us more info on them though, so I do wonder if she intended their love to be ambiguous (giving hope to both the Snily and Jily shippers), but if so… she did a poor job. lol… (oops… actually 7/ 8)
She stated herself that their patronuses are meant to match because they’re the love of each other’s lives. And I think Lily’s letter to Sirius really subtly shows how she clearly loves James. (And don’t get me started on how “Nah, she didn’t” is absolutely awkward British man who has been imprisoned for 13 years speak for “She loved him with all her soul.”) (oops… I meant 8/9)
…Anyway, some days I still hope for a single line of “Yes, Jily were end game, silly goats. CH_Darling is writing their story exactly as I imagined it on Ao3. Oh and #transrightsarehumanrights.” …This was the top long. I’m so so sorry. I have felt this rage too long. Aha. TLE absolutely soothes it. Also, Margaret Atwood speaks greatly about how authors (including her) accidentally write things. It’s one of the core aspects of Historicist theory, Death of the Author, etc. too. (9/10 sorry again)
[Absolute final one I promise!] It’s one of the core aspects of Historicist theory, Death of the Author, etc. too. Saying that you don’t think an author intended something to happen isn’t anti-feminist. It isn’t even a negative criticism – and people absolutely say it about men too. (I loved your response to that!) [Finished! Apologies that I had so so much to say! This has all just been a really fascinating topic for me!]
——
Okay so I’m late responding to this (what’s new), but I absolutely loved reading this and agree with so much! (Also you are very sweet, I’m so happy you’re enjoying TLE! ❤️❤️❤️)
I was always a little surprised she never capitalized on the marauders love for a prequel but, to the surprise of no one, I am so so glad that she didn’t haha. I truly don’t want any official Marauders story because a) I suspect I would aggressively disagree with most of it and b) I love that it’s so open and there are so many different interpretations of that era. I would sort of hate for a “canon” version to come along and shut everything down. I mean, we all know it wouldn’t actually shut things down, but still.
So while I like to rag on the HP novels treatment of James, I’m actually not all that sad in practice that we didn’t get more info on Jily. I think narratively it was a missed opportunity in the books, but now I get to have fun. 😈
Also, I so rarely venture out from my happy Tumblr bubble so the words “JP hate on Quora” immediately made me go “who the HECK hates James Potter?!” But then I remember that, tragically, a large portion of the fandom does, in fact, hate James Potter. *clasps hands over ears* LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOUUUU
Also also:
And don’t get me started on how “Nah, she didn’t” is absolutely awkward British man who has been imprisoned for 13 years speak for “She loved him with all her soul.”
Truer words have never been spoken. 😘
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with me anon!! ❤️

hoooboy here we go
i want to justify remadora and my girl tonks here because i believe jkr was really vague during hbp and really put people off shipping remadora, which is such a shame:((
also, please don’t respond negatively, read the whole thing i pinkie promise i’m not being mean to anyone here!! :,)
tonks wasn’t “depressed” that whole year during hbp just because remus “wouldn’t love her.” she was stressed as all hell just like every other bloody person in the book because this was her first time being in the battle field during the war, and things were really starting to pick up. her favorite cousin (who she had probably grown very close to during that previous year) died, totally unexpectedly. + with sirius’s death: she was dueling bellatrix before she fell down the steps !! it was mentioned that she ACTUALLY thought it was her fault that sirius died! imagine living with that guilt. imagine waking up in the hospital and being told that your cousin was killed by the person you’d been dueling before you were hexed down a flight of concrete steps. on top of that, finding out that the man that you love (and who you know loves you) is going on a goddamn dangerous mission that could very well get himself killed. killed. imagine sitting there and wondering if he was alive, but not being able to even know. that’s why she rushed to dumbledore when she heard about the werewolf attack. she wanted to know that remus was still alive. plus, there is NO evidence whatsoever that says she was pushing remus into a relationship, or begging for his affection or being needy or whatever. unless you consider completely avoiding a person for an entire year being needy. she went out of her way to get away from remus the entire year, for god’s sake. the night dumbledore died, she knew remus was at the end of his tether. but so was she. so was everyone else. she spoke up about their relationship because she knew that if he let her in, it would be so much better for him than being alone in the world. facing things together is better than facing things alone. she needed remus to know that he wasn’t alone, that he still had her to give all his love to and be loved by. he needed to know that she loved him, and wasn’t going to give up on him like others had in his lifetime, or like he had constantly expected others to. that he was worth fighting for. she wanted to show him that he didn’t need to distance himself from people he cared for because he was afraid of hurting them. that whole spiel in the hospital room came out all wrong because of the stress of the situation, but it convinced remus that maybe he didn’t need to space himself out from everyone. and look how happy he was towards the middle/end of dh?
-plus a little more on my thoughts on remus during hbp/dh: lord, this man has been through everything imaginable in his lifetime. everyone who loved him in the past died, and he was alone for twelve years. he had no idea that someone could love him as wholly and completely as tonks did. he was so, so terrified that the same would happen to tonks, who was young and whole and new to the whole war thing. he didn’t want her to become a mess like himself. he didn’t want her to have to suffer like he had to his entire life. he thought he would rather die than to let her be hurt. because she was that important to him.
but i, personally, think he was so wrapped up in his idea that he would make everything worse that he hadn’t even considered that maybe, they could handle everything better together?
tonks didn’t want to push remus, of all people. she wanted him to know that he deserves happiness, just like every human being. because above all things, he was a man, not just a werewolf, he was a human being who deserved to be loved and cherished and put first.
and i get if you think this couple is random. personally, i think the differences between them and the fact that tonks is the baddie-catching, total badass auror and he’s the quiet nerdy teacher guy is what makes me love them. their quirkiness is what i think is cool and different. opposites attract, am i right? plus, it’s hard to believe that tonks would avoid remus so much if nothing had happened between them the previous year. i once saw an au where they met in poa and i love it. i think it would have made more sense if they’d been seen in more personal situations, tbh. sure, they’re always mentioned together, but come on, jo? we know harry’s pretty unobservant when it comes to other people, but we could have had at least a few scenes snuck in. cough cough, i’d love at order spinoff that shows what goes behind the scenes, but i won’t speak for fear that another cursed child will happen—
***also, i don’t have any beef whatsoever against wolfstar—far from it, i really don’t mind it at all!
but please, don’t harass tonks or remadora shippers because remadora was portrayed so badly both in the books and movies!! hate really sucks, and you know how protective we are of our ships in the hp fandom hahaha. but everyone who denies remadora says it’s a lot because tonks was being whiny, which i don’t think is at all what jo wanted to put across during hbp. tonks wasn’t depressed or lovesick or whiny. she was emotionally detached and completely stressed out, and lost her powers just like someone would lose energy, or focus, or willpower in that kind of situation. i’ve been in tonks’s shoes—well, not exactly, but i’ve had some dark times because i didn’t have anything to hold on to or hope for, just like she did, and as a result everything went downhill. we all say things in our desperation and anxiety and stress, and i think that’s what the hospital scene was. if i was in her shoes, i would have lost my powers the second i learned that sirius died, and the war was actually beginning. i respect her strength to keep doing her duties at hogsmeade with everything going on in the wizarding world. i wish i’d had that strength to keep pulling forward as strongly as tonks (and remus, of course) had behind the scenes.
i will forever be upset that jkr didn’t make this noticeable during hbp, and instead made her seem like a whiny, lovesick depressed woman, and that is NOT at ALL the character that tonks is.
nymphadora tonks was not weak. she was a total badass who made it through that god-awful year and still kept marching with her head high, and that is why i will forever love her character.
