Flourish and Blotts

@flourishandblottsbooks

Welcome to my Harry Potter blog!  I'm a hardcore Ravenpuff!  Also apparently a Puckwudgie.  I'm studying to be a teacher and my goal is to be the perfect mix of Lupin and McGonagall (two of my favorite characters).  Umbridge bashing is welcome! Rowling is Queen!
Name: pick me
Pairing: Sirius Black x Reader
Word Count: 1659
Content/Warnings: Mutual Pining, Fluff
Prompt: Sirius gets worked up when he finds out that his best friend has never had a proper snog.
Author’s Note: Requests still open! I’m just sorta writing whatever pops into my brain right now. Figured I should write about someone other than Lucius for once.

“What do you mean you’ve never snogged someone? You’ve had like…” Sirius trailed off for a moment, quietly whispering names as he counted on his fingers, “three and a half relationships! You have to have snogged at least one of them.”

“A half?” You challenged, shifting away from him so that you could face him more directly on the couch.

“Nott doesn’t count.”

Snape did try and break up Lily and James though.  He was constantly insulting James to Lily in school, even after James saved his life from Sirius’ “prank”.  And when he goes to tell Dumbledore (in the book) that Voldemort has heard the prophecy he says to hide Lily.  Only after Dumbledore objects does he reluctantly amend it to hiding all three of them.  It’s clear he would have James killed or maybe even kill him himself if he could get away with it.  All to have Lily to himself.  I don’t care if Lily was one of the only people who was kind to him (and I’m sure there must have been some people/staff at Hogwarts who were nice to him). Wanting your romantic rival to be murdered, even after Lily was married and obviously very happy, is NOT healthy.  If he loved her, he would want her to be happy.  He might still want to be with her, but love means wanting what’s best for the other person.  Snape’s connection to Lily is an unhealthy obsession, not love.  I will die on this hill.

Ravenclaw: Why are you covered in blood?
Slytherin: Oh don't worry, it's not mine.
Ravenclaw: Is that supposed to make me feel better?!
Hufflepuff: I would like you to remember how much you adore us.
Gryffindor: And how dull your life would be without us.
Ravenclaw: ...What did you do?

Home Is Not A Place

That particular day had begun like any other. Your mother had knocked on your bedroom door loud enough to wake you from your slumber, but she didnt enter your room, and you heard her footsteps descending the staircase into the bookshop below. In the safety of your own room, you were free to get yourself ready, which was always your favourite part of the day. Clothes flew across your room as you chose your outfit, t-shirts holding themselves in the air just long enough to defy gravity at your will. Obviously, you only opened your curtains when you were completely ready; if your mother knew passersby had seen things floating in your room, she would have lost her mind. Quickly preparing and eating a slice of buttered toast, your little eleven year old legs descended the creaking stairs.

Slytherin: I'm gonna burn this place to the ground.
Ravenclaw: I'll show you where my desk is. You can start there.
Gryffindor: Stab wound? You mean extra pocket.
Ravenclaw: Nobody in this household should be allowed outside, I swear to God.

The Reason

For some reason, you had expected that upon returning to Hogwarts as an adult, it would look and feel smaller than it had all those years ago. But despite you growing a few inches, and your confidence growing considerably, the ancient halls and corridors tower just as high as you remember. Maybe even higher, it was likely your memory didnt do them justice. The corridors are quiet in a way that would have scared you a decade prior, but you find yourself smiling, feeling completely at ease. No matter where you go, Hogwarts will always feel like home.

In the corner of your eye, you spot a shine that can only come from the sun streaming through the glass of the greenhouses, and you stop walking. Jogging over to the corridor window, you peak out of it, biting your lip and lifting your wrist to check the time. 15 minutes, is that enough? Definitely not. Unfortunately for the rational side of your brain, you are sprinting out of the nearest door before you can convince yourself to stay on track.

Slytherin: You know you've made it when you see your picture everywhere you go.
Ravenclaw: These are wanted posters.
