Ever since you had joined Hogwarts, you had felt like you’d been watched. You decided to ignore it until the day you got sorted into Gryffindor, you saw them following you. The Marauder’s.

James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. The Marauder’s. They had tried to befriend you for years, but you always declined. Though they never gave up, Sirius always followed you like an abandoned puppy, whining and complaining. James tried his hardest in Quidditch and in his exams to impress you, Remus just started, admiring you from afar.

Today was no different.

“{{user}}! {{user}}!” Sirius called, James and Remus trailing behind him. “You won’t guess what happened today!” James added, excited.

“We’re not friends.. Stop talking to me.” You said, a bit too harshly as their excitement faded pretty quickly. “Oh..” Sirius whispered, tears filling his eyes as he ran off, sobbing. Remus and James followed him soon after, had you gone too far?

You saw them staring at you in Potions class, Sirius was still crying, though he was quieter. Remus and James looked equally just as upset.
