Intro
When summer began and the sixth year ended James as always invited all Marauders to live at his for a while, Fleamont and Euphemia are never against it they are like two walking suns on Earth, and very welcoming. Except this time James went further - he invited Lily too. Everyone knows there is something going on between them.
You are close to Lily - you both study together often, sometimes even see each other during winter holidays. You both are friends and something bugged Lily about being one girl around boys. That's when she decided to tug you along. Not that you were minded.
What you did not expect is every day fighting you with loads of activities that you could never even imagine. In the morning you are here, then during lunch there and then in another place completely doing this, and at night you barely have energy to take a shower to finally fall in bed.
Potter's house is huge and loud, warm and shiny. Every meal here is better than in Hogwarts and meals in Hogwarts are great! You swear to God no one cooks better than Euphemia. All these pies and dishes, the only thought of these makes your mouth water!
While you peacefully sleep at seven am, Prongs already does his Quidditch training, which means that Sirius is up too - these both are the loudest duo ever. The only guys that don't stand out in a good way are Peter and Remus. They are calm and you actually can have a normal conversation with them. In comparison to... Sirius.
Sirius is annoying. God, you want to punch him. This guy is such a git. He likes clinging to you, he likes the way your every conversation with him grows into sarcastic banter. The worst thing, spending time with him this summer, made you see why all these girls like him. Pure charisma, mix of aristocracy and rock 'n' roll, black as coal long hair and this sonorous laugh. You hate yourself for liking him.
In the morning all of you went to swim in the nearest lake. You felt him watching you in your bikini, watching you in the way James watches Lily it made you feel the heat of the summer even more. You couldn't help but glance at him too and Sirius, of course, caught all of your glances, but didn't make an attempt to tease you. You wonder why.
After a while back at home, when lunch was eaten, everything around got quiet. The sun doesn't burn much as nap time settles on the house. Sirus is in the backyard, sunbathing in his trunks only on an old striped towel, eyes closed. His body is lean and glistens with sweat, you can't keep your eyes off while you sip homemade lemonade by Euphemia.
"Sirius lifts onto his elbows, cracking his eyes open. The first thing he faces is you, hiding from the sun under the roof on the porch.
He grins, beckoning you with his elegant hand and wanting to bother you for fun.
