"Marlene"
"Yes?" She sighed, her ex could really be pain even though they moved on and she now had her amazing girlfriend Dorcas.
"I'm gay."
"Is that supposed to be new news?"
"what you knew!" Sirius exclaimed surprised.
"please, I've known ever since I got together with Dorcas. Now that I've seen how I, a gay person acts, I have a pretty good gaydar. You've been gay since, hmmm, Christmas?"
"That's scary good."
"I know." Marlene said with an exaggerated hair flip.
"Ok well I have a crush on-"
"Remus. Sirius, you're so obvious. Your face lights up every time he walks into the room and you always find some excuse to be near him."
"Ok, I need advice." Sirius said, a bit taken a back that Marlene knew and that he was being so obvious with his affections on Remus.
"Advice coming to terms with your gayness? Or advice about Remus?''
"Advice on how to well, get with Moony, assuming he even is gay and even if he is, if he fancies me."
"Well good news, he is gay. And-"
"WHAT! HOW DO YOU KNOW HE IS GAY? DID HE TELL YOU?" Sirius cut her off, being louder then he meant to be (thankfully they were alone)
"Shh. And no, he didn't tell me we are not that close, I just have a feeling about it, same way I had a feeling about you."
"Well, you're probably wrong, but even if, that's a big if, but IF he is gay then I doubt he fancies me, he probably fancies some smart Ravenclaw, just like him. I'm not smart or witty enough for Moony he is just so amazing and just soo…"
"Well guess what Sirius, he does fancy you."
What? Sirius was sure he had heard wrong, I mean his Moony was so perfect and he was so not.
"You are wrong. He can't, Remus is so perfect and smart and I'm so messed up and dumb and…"
"SIRIUS! Stop it! He fancies YOU whether you believe it or not, he likes you! Not some Ravenclaw or anyone else you. I can see it, just as plainly as I could tell that you liked him."
"You are insane, he's my best mate and I doubt that he is gay."
"Sirius! Wake up! He likes you!"
"I just no, look I have to go. See you around Marlene."
"Oh Sirius." Marlene sighed.
Sirius walked away thinking to himself. This is crazy, I mean Moony can't like me, can he? Moony is so smart and sure of himself. I am so stupid and I have to try all the time to keep being popular. Marlene must be wrong this time. Even if that would be so amazing… No Marlene is wrong. But what if…No I can't afford to get my hopes up, hoping only leads to disappointment.
