Sirius black x Reader

Summary: it's not the first time Sirius has had a bad day. You know how to help though.

Word count: 265

Sirius' day started out with a howler from his mother at breakfast. Little did he know that this would only be the raisin on top of a sunday of doom.

Following the 15 minute letter he rushed to have in private, he found himself late. Earning himself a detention from an equally annoyed Professor Slughorn.

His bad day continued with him missing nearly every bludger in quidditch practice causing the whole team to be aggravated.

All the while his girlfriend remained blissfully unaware of his horrid day, being too wrapped up in her studies to even remember to blink.

Later that night when Y/n returned from the library she found Sirius asleep on the couch in the common room. She knew he had fallen asleep waiting for her.

She had meant to be back earlier, but next thing she knew the librarian was closing.

She placed her books down on the side table and crouched in front of Sirius. She softly rubbed his furrowed brows and kissed his forehead, waking him up.

'Hello love' she smiled softly as he sat up straighter.

He smiled weakly at her and she frowned. She sat beside him on the couch and opened her arms.

He sighed softly and leaned into her embrace. They sat there silently in front of the fire, both mentally exhausted. As she ran her fingers through his long hair he slowly relaxed.

She knew that he would talk about it when he was ready. Until then they were satisfied with sitting quietly, enjoying the comfort of being in each other's arms.

Sweet morning

drabble

Word count: 121

Summary- Remus x Reader. Remus' favorite time of day.

You curled into Remus' side as he watched the sun cast a soft glow onto your face.

Mornings were his favorite time of day. Right before the world woke up. The silent peace.

He quietly slipped out of bed, resting your head softly on the pillow, and went to make breakfast.

The bedroom door opened again as you sleepily made your way over to Remus. His back was to you, filling up the teapot and setting it on the stove.

You wrapped your arms around his waist, kissing his shoulder and swaying softly.

"Good morning my love" he whispered, turning and holding you softly before leaving a soft peck on your lips.

"Good morning"

Mornings were your favorite time of day.
