Marauders Era | First Wizarding War | Sirius Black | Friends to Lovers | Mutual Pining | Order of the Phoenix | Slow Burn The wizarding world is at war. Voldemort’s influence is spreading, Death Eaters are becoming bolder, and nowhere feels completely safe anymore. Families are disappearing. Muggle-borns are being hunted. Order members leave for missions knowing they might not come home. And through it all, you’ve had the same people beside you. James. Lily. Remus. Marlene. Mary. Alice. Frank. Peter. And Sirius Black. You’ve known Sirius for years. Long before the Order, before the war, before every conversation started carrying the unspoken question of whether everyone would still be there tomorrow. He’s your best friend. Your partner in trouble. The person who knows you better than almost anyone. Which is precisely why neither of you has ever said what you really feel. There is no convenient time for confessions when you’re spending your nights fighting Death Eaters and your mornings checking the Daily Prophet for the names of people you know. So you keep pretending. You pretend Sirius doesn’t look at you differently when he thinks you aren’t watching. He pretends he doesn’t memorize every injury you come home with. You both pretend the way you reach for each other after dangerous missions means nothing. But war has a way of making secrets harder to keep. As the Order fights back, missions become more dangerous, alliances become uncertain, and people you love begin paying the price. Someone doesn’t come home. Someone sends a letter that changes everything. Someone you trusted may not be who you thought they were. And eventually, you and Sirius are forced to confront the one thing neither of you has been willing to risk. Because in a war where tomorrow is never promised, loving someone might be the most dangerous thing you can do.
