how i think sirius understood he had feelings for marlene- i'm so canon u can't prove me wrong.
sirius was glad that the only person in the room was james. it was easier for him to let go of the breath he was holding in and slack his shoulders.
james, of course, knew right away that something was wrong.
"what's gotten into you? why are you wet?"
he was indeed soaking wet from the rain.
james was sat near the window, he was looking outside while playing with the stupid snitch of his.
"the rain got to me," sirius responded, closing their distance and throwing himself into the chair nearest to james. he let out a well held grown. "what are you doing?"
"i was waiting for you, mate? you're late. we made plans-" "oh, shit-"
"yeah, no shit you forgot-" james rolled his eyes. "i told remus and peter to go on. tell me what's up. there is no way you would forget a day out."
"i-" sirius looked around the room, "i fucked up."
"when don't you?" james snorted.
sirius kicked his chair, "prongs, man."
james snorted, after he regained his chair's balance, "so?"
"i was with mckinnon," sirius leaned on his knees, "i was helping her train. you really did a number on her the previous match."
"she knows me, i get heated up when shit gets fucked," james shrugged.
"i know. she said the same thing," sirius laughed, "and as mckinnon-"
"she wanted to prove me wrong?"
"yeah," sirius nodded, "so, i helped. it started to rain, she wanted to keep going. i had completely lost track of time- my bad, again, let me finish- and she reached a record- she got happy- smiling, laughing, she jumped on me before we could even land properly- and- and fuck- i don't know- i bloody tried to kiss her!"
"you what?!" james jumped from the chair.
"i did," sirius pinched his nose, "i just- she jumped, i caught her, and we were close and i just leaned in, and- and she leaned in- i think-"
"you think?! how does one think that?! weren't you there?!"
"i don't know! it felt like i wasn't- and-!"
"the last time i have seen you this worked up was when you lost your motorcycle magazine, mate-!"
"shut up-!"
"well, what happened?!"
"nothing! we just got up immediately as soon as i drew back and we said very awkward goodbyes-"
"the last time i saw you being awkward-"
"james, shut up!" sirius groaned "- and it hit me, james... when i was coming here- i think i like her. a lot."
the thing about prongsfoot is they could meet literally anywhere and immediately form a connection. those freaks who became best friends over an eight-hour flight? prongsfoot. those assholes who started playing cards at a funeral? prongsfoot. those annoying guys who haven't stopped yapping at each other since they first entered the line (with a eight-hour wait btw)? prongsfoot.

marlene mckinnon is the type of girl when anyone compliments her, she just agrees with them.
sirius finds that in itself insanely sexy.
