Blackinnon - Official
“Is it true?”
“Did you here?”
“Its just sexual”
“I give it a week”
They were just some of the comments Marlene heard as she sauntered down the corridor to the Great Hall for breakfast.
“Just ignore them” Lily told her.
She appreciated the gestur but if she was honest the comments didn’t really faze her. People were always going to gossip no matter what she did, so she kept her head high and march he’d into the hall.She ignored the not so subtle glares from some of the girls as she slid onto the bench next to Sirius.
“Have you heard what people are saying?” Sirius asked.
“What? That our new found relationship is doomed and is based purely on sex.”
“Yeah that, do you believe it?”
“Do you?” She asked.
“Of course not!”Marlene smirked at her boyfriend.
It felt weird using the term boyfriend, she’d had relationships before but nothing had ever been this official. She preferred casual she couldn’t get hurt that way. She supposed her and Sirius had that in common; which is probably why everyone thought their relationship was doomed. They’d been friends with benefits for most of 6th year this and the beginning of 7th year. It was only their closet friends who noticed the lingering glances, the accidental toughes, arguements that hurt each other a little too much, and the flares of jealous if they saw the other one hooking up with someone else. It wasn’t until one night when they where laying comfortably in each other arms in the common room when James finally said “I don’t know why you two aren’t together!”
After that things changed between them, both new that they wanted too be together but neither could bring themselves to take the plunge.That is until the last week of the term, at the Chrismast party before the holidays. Sirius couldn’t bear watching Marlene and that idiot Richard flirt anymore so he pushed himself between them and proceeded to lead her outside. It was beneath the moonlight and stars, light snow falling around them and the crisp winter air, Marlene dress was sparkling, illuminating her face. In this picturesque setting Sirius finally asked Marlene to be his girlfriend.
Marlene’s almost positive she froze and not just because of the winter weather. Nonetheless moments later they were snuggled up in Sirius bed as a couple. Marlene didn’t have much chance to see anyone over Christmas break, so everyone was in shock when her and Sirius walked onto the Hogwarts train hand in hand. It had been all anyone talked about for the past day, but when Marlene thought about it whatever anyone said she knew she couldn’t be happier in this moment.
“So what do you say we do next” Sirius asked breaking her thought.
She glanced around the room at the almost expectant stares.
“I say we give them something to talk about” Sirius knew exactly what she meant and kissed her right there, wrapping his arms around her as if to say.
“Yes were together, she’s mine”
A/N: If you’d like me to write anything else like this whether it be before, during or after, or a completely different situation then I’d love to, or if you have some constructive criticism then please feel free to send me a message. I love the idea of Sirius and Marlene because we know little about Marlene’s character so you can do so much with her and their relationship.
