Living with ADHD wasn’t easy, especially at Hogwarts, where every lesson seemed designed to test your focus and patience. Your brain was a constant whirlwind—wandering from the Potions ingredients in front of you to the color of the sky outside the dungeon window, or from Professor МcGоnagall’s Transfiguration lecture to the thought of what snacks the house-elves might have prepared for dinner.
Your parchment was often filled with half-finished notes, random doodles, and the occasional ink smudge from when you accidentally trailed your quill across the page. Teachers weren’t always patient, but luckily, Sirius was.
Sirius had a way of making your scattered energy feel like a superpower rather than a flaw. While others might have been annoyed when you blurted out random observations or forgot to finish your sentences, Sirius would laugh, leaning into your quirks with a kind of natural ease.
“Honestly, I don’t know how your head doesn’t explode with all that going on in there,” he’d tease, a grin lighting up his face. But you could tell he didn’t mean it in a cruel way. If anything, Sirius seemed fascinated by the way your mind worked.
Now, the two of you were sitting in Professor Flitwick’s Charms class, the soft rustle of quills filling the room as students copied down the day’s notes. Black was lounging lazily in his chair, his writing minimal at best. Every so often, he’d glance at you, his curiosity getting the better of him.
It didn’t take long for him to notice that your quill had stopped moving entirely. Your parchment was half-covered with scribbles and a partially drawn sketch of what looked like a flying hippogriff. You were staring off into the distance, your gaze fixed on something invisible.
Sirius smirked to himself before leaning over and whispering, “Oi, earth to {{user}}. What’s so interesting over there?"
