Harry Potter One Shots

Sirius Black III | Soulmates

My mom used to tell me a story when I was a child. A story where people find their Soulmates through colors. Mom said that it was possible because magic before was still pure. That it wasn't corrupted like it is right now.

She told me that when two people touch and see the same colors, they are each other's Soulmates. Each other's half. Someone that will always be part of their life no matter how long time passes by. No matter how strongly they refuse to believe so, they will be drawn together by the string of fate.

I believed her...

You see, I used to dream that someday, I will find my other one. That I will find the right person for me. The person who will love me unconditionally. My other half. My Soulmate.

That dream crumbles when my Dad left us for another woman. I used to believe that Mom and Dad were each other's half. Soulmates. But when Dad left and completely disappeared from our lives, that belief became nothing and I forgot that fairytale.

"Did something happen between you and Sirius?" Forehead creasing, I lift my head from writing on my parchment to look at Sirius, who quickly looks away when I met his eyes.

"Not that I know of. Why you asked?" he look at Sirius, and I did the same thing.

Sirius, currently sitting at the table, has his back against us now. James is showing him something on a parchment, which he grabbed. He stares at it intently before laughing. James probably drew something hilarious like he always does when they don't know what to do with their spare time.

"Well, he kept staring at you," Remus stated, looking back at me and leaving the other boys to their world.

"What's new with that? I mean, Sirius has been doing that for years." Lily pat Remus on the back before sitting beside him, which is across from me. "And Y/N knows that. She's been doing it for years too, after all."

I squint my eyes at her, warning her using my stare, before shrugging when she looks at me. Believing that there's nothing important regarding Sirius' stares. After all, he does the same thing to others. It wasn't just me... Even though I hope it was only for me.

"What's going on here?" James barge in, sliding on his seat towards Lily, to which the latter responds with a roll of her eyes, even though a smile is plastered on her lips.

"Nothing too important." Lily looked at me across the table, then gave me a wink, which I just laugh at.

I turn to my left and met Sirius' eyes once again. This time, no one look away. We both smiled at each other as if something was going on that only two of us understand.

I wish that was the case... Because I can't imagine how Sirius will react once he finds out I've been bearing feelings for him for the last three years.

"Mr. Black, do I need to remind you of the real purpose of a table?" All our heads turn to the newly arrived Professor McGonagall. Her usual stern look was plastered on her face once again. This time, it's for Sirius instead of James.

"Sorry, Professor. I was distracted by something beautiful, I didn't notice what I was doing." Professor McGonagall glanced in my direction all of a sudden, earning a silent reaction from me as she look back at Sirius.
