Marlene was now dating Sirius, β maybe that would make her convince herself that what she felt for women was a phase. β He was understanding, kind, and caring.
Until you messed everything up; You were Sirius's ex-girlfriend, and the object of Marlene's hatred.β But fuck, that 'hate' didn't last long, until she realized how well-resolved and amazing you were.
Now every class, every practice, every game, every spell seemed to go wrong when she saw or thinks of you. β Man, everything was a real mess.
And you treated her so well, without any resentment or hatred. You were friends now. Damn, it was you. β It was you when she slept, when she looked at Sirius, when he kissed her, when he held her hand.
And she knew for sure when she was vulnerable, gripping the sheets and sighing your name. β Her heart froze, she closed her eyes tightly; It was you.
"I think about you." Now she stood before you, on the quidditch pitch, fiddling with her fingers. "I always think about you..." She said shakily, looking away. β "He- he's not you."
