the three broomsticks was always bustling on the weekends. filled with hogwarts students, teachers, ministry workers, honestly everyone. you always loved visiting the much loved pub, you spent many weekends with friends, or even on your own to study to get a break from the library. you loved it so much so, that you spoke to madam rosmerta about helping out as she always seems so busy.
she spoke to dumbledore and he agreed. and since then you’ve been working weekends alongside madam rosmerta, who immediately became more than a friend than a boss.
it was one particularly cold saturday afternoon when three groups of students burst through the door. a group of hufflepuffs, a group of ravenclaws and, last but not least, the self-proclaimed marauders from gryffindor.
the marauders- james potter, remus lupin, peter pettigrew and sirius black. you’ve always found your eyes lingering on sirius for slightly too long, even though you shouldn’t. he’s sirius black for merlin’s sake! plenty of girls fawning over him, he wouldn’t bother with you considering you guys rarely spoke.
his laugh echoed in your ears as he sat down in their usual booth.
“get your eyes off him and back to work.” madam rosmerta joked, slapping your shoulder lightly.
you widened your eyes at her, “what? i might be old but i’m not blind!”
you felt a blush creep onto your cheeks and she chuckled before walking away.
“go take their order!” she called.
“fine!” you replied, sighing and straightening out your apron.
you approached the table of boys with a small smile, “can i get you guys anything?” you asked.
“hey y/n.” james greeted.
“usual, gorgeous. four butterbeers please.” sirius stated, glancing up at you. then came the blush again.
“yep sure.” you said, nodding. you left the table to fetch their order.
“pads can you go one second without flirting with every girl in the school?” you heard peter say.
“shut up wormtail!” he retaliated. you heard a soft smack, indicating someone had hit him.
the smile dropped from your face, how stupid could you be? you made their drinks and placed them on a tray before carrying it back over to the table.
“here you go boys.” you said as you slid the glasses onto the table.
“thanks y/n.” james, peter and remus chorused.
“thank you, love.” sirius added.
“why don’t you join us? lily is heading down soon too.” james suggested, glancing at sirius with a smirk.
“i cant i’m working.” you replied with a slight frown.
“take a break!” remus suggested.
“yeah shouldn’t she take a break pads?” james asked.
“absolutely.” he replied.
“maybe later, madam rosmerta needs me.” you explained.
“no i do not. sit with these lovely gentlemen, i’m sure they’ll love the company.” she chimed from behind you.
“we really would y/n.” peter added.
“okay fine, move over.” you insisted. sirius was sat on the outside of the booth, next to james and across from remus, who was next to peter. sirius shuffled up, making space for you to sit next to him. merlin you had hoped that remus would let you sit next to him. nerves began to bubble in your stomach.
you slid in next to sirius and sent him a smile, “thanks.” you said.
you all began chatting, considering you guys have known each other for your entire school careers. you originally became friends with james, it was hard not to be friends with him. and from him you met the rest, your feelings for sirius beginning as soon as you laid eyes on him.
laughs echoed around the booth as james was reciting a story about the boys during their second year summer. midway through the story, sirius’ arm found its way on the chair behind you, his hand grazing your shoulder.
“his mum locked the brooms away because they were sick of us getting lost.” sirius explained.
“how you guys aren’t dead yet i don’t know.” you commented, chuckling lightly.
“we are invincible, nothing can kill us!” sirius said, triumphantly.
“we’ll see about that” you joked, nudging him slightly with your shoulder. you noticed from the corner of your eyes that his were trained on you. you glanced up and met his eyes and sent him a smile. he winked at you and turned his attention back to james.
“hello boys!” lily announced, approaching the table. “and... y/n! i didn’t know you were joining us?” she said with a large smile.
“me neither,” you replied “they’re holding me here against my will.” you added in a hushed tone.
“we wanted more friends.” peter explained.
“of course you do, james getting on your nerves?” lily asked. they all nodded and james let out a surprised scoff.
“no she’s right.” remus muttered.
“moving on, i’ll go get some refills.” you suggested, noticing everyone’s empty glasses. you slid back out of the booth and removed the used cups. “butterbeer for you too lily?” you asked.
“yes please, y/n! thank you.”
you smiled and went back over to the bar and began to pour new drinks for everyone. you were filling up the third glass when you heard a voice, “so, you come here often?” sirius asked.
you looked at him with your eyebrows furrowed, he had his arm on the bar top and was leaning against it slightly.
“we’ll, considering i work here, yes.” you replied.
“probably wasn’t the best line to start with.”
he laughed slightly, “you need help?” he asked.
“oh i’m fine thanks.” you said.
he hummed and you expected him to leave but he stayed, watching you as you made the rest of the butterbeers.
“can i help you sirius?” you questioned.
“when are you not working?”
“rarely. i enjoy it.” you replied.
“can you get a day off?” he asked.
“an extremely gorgeous gryffindor beater wants to ask you to hogsmeade next weekend.” he explained.
a smile grew on your face, “marlene wants to take me on a date?!”
“she probably does, i wouldn’t blame her.”
you chuckled, “me neither.”
“if you can find it in your heart to reject poor marlene, i also heard that sirius black is interested too.”
a smirk grew across your face, “the sirius black?”
“i’ll have to get back to you on that.” you stated.
his eyes widened and he nodded, “uh okay sure.”
“i’m kidding sirius, of course i’ll go to hogsmeade with you. i’m surprised you even asked me.”
“why wouldn’t i?” he asked, taking a seat on one of the stools.
“we don’t really talk much.” you explained.
“doesn’t stop me from fancying you.”
you snapped your head up at him and tried to hide the smile growing across your face. “i guess it doesn’t. it didn’t stop me either.”
“i take it you didn’t realise how often we come here? that lot certainly did.” he said.
“no, i didn’t. everyone comes here often.” you explained.
“every free moment we had i forced them down here with me so i could talk to you.”
“wow. who would’ve thought sirius black was a softie.” you teased.
he smiled widely and you handed him his drink.
“if you two would stop longingly staring into each other’s eyes that would be great! i want my drink!” james called.
“yeah, yeah prongs were coming!” sirius replied.
“you better stop flirting with my staff, young man!” madam rosmerta added as she approached the bar.
“stop hiring beautiful staff then maybe i’ll consider.”
