🐾 || Sirius yes || 🐾

“Definitely like the flower,” Lily agreed. Usually it sort of annoyed her how often people made the obvious connection, but it was so cute when he did it.

“You didn’t have to, though,” she said, her pulse accelerating as he flashed that smile again. “I guess that’s all I mean. It was wonderful that you did, though. So, thank you. Really.”

She leaned over to check out the art he’d made, grinning when she looked up again. “That’s brilliant,” she told him and bit her lip. “So… how long have you been working here?”

“Well I’m glad I did anyway, since I got a smile out of you, and you can enjoy your coffee like you wanted to.” He’s chuckling as he says it, adding a couple of cookies to a small paper bag and sliding both things over to her on the counter, before turning to clean up his station, starting with the milk steamer. 

“Since I started school, so... a couple years.” He grinned, looking around proudly as if he had grown in this establishment. In a way he had, as it was his first real job, seeing as his parents had cut him off pretty much at this point, and he lived off terrible cheap convenience store food and anything he could get at work. 

Oh. He had a knee-weakening kind of smile. That combined with his chivalry made Lily melt.

“Lily,” she said in a dismissive tone, like it was an afterthought. “You just came over to help a random stranger because that guy looked weird?” she asked, dumbfounded. “That’s…amazing.”

“Like the flower.” Sirius smiled and wrote her name in his unruly script finally pouring the coffee into her cup and steaming her milk as they kept chatting like it was second nature for him to do this and he didn’t even have to look. 

“Well... yeah, I mean someone had to do something, right?” He said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, with a smile that might have melted hearts left and right, gaining a groan from his coworker, currently arraging the teas in the back of the bar. 

Lily held perfectly still until the man left. By then, she was kind of into the story and happy about having Sirius’s arm around her. Hey, he smelled like coffee. It wasn’t a bad place to be.

She looked up when he moved though, and blinked in surprise at the sudden retraction.

“Oh… sure,” she agreed but got up to trail after him when he moved. “Wait— Thank you,” she said, her green eyes wide with awe. “Why did you do that?”

Sirius didn’t really expect the girl to be too happy with his chilvarous advance, so the whole free latte was simply a peace offering. However he found himself being trailed after as he walked off to make the drink, and smiled charmingly at her, ducking under the counter and back to his station. 

“You looked really uncomfortable, and he looked like a creep.” He offered casually as he pulled out a cup and filled the espresso machine, starting it before turning back to her, noticing her pretty green eyes that so nicely contrasted her hair. He couldn’t blame the guy, really, this girl was gorgeous, but there were better ways to talk to girls than to be so fucking pushy. 

Lily didn’t know what to make of the barista who walked over and kissed her, but she would take anything over the guy literally leaning over the table to grab her.

“No,” she told the barista, her lips pursed. “I don’t know him at all. He just started asking where you were.”

The guy’s eyes widened as he leaned back in his chair and looked between Lily and Sirius.

“This is your boyfriend?” he demanded. “You’re dating the coffee guy?”

“Hell yeah I am,” Lily snorted. “Best damn lattes I’ve ever had.”

At the redhead’s answer, Sirius’ friendly smile disappeared and instead a very disapproving, calm yet somewhat menacing look replaced it as he gave the creep a once over, keeping his hand on the girl’s shoulder for now.

“Sorry mate, I know she looks lonely, but she’s waiting for my damn shif to be over to walk home together.” 

The man was clearly disgruntled upon the news, reluctant to back off even though Sirius had stepped in, and so, grey eyes narrowed, he continued. 

“Doubt you could fullfill her needs anyway, no offense.” He gave her a small squeeze and stayed by her side til the man had grabbed his cup and walked off the premises, making Sirius chuckle and step back.

Ok but I would do this au with you for sure

and I’m here to tell you

I’m trash. Please like this if I owe you a reply I lost everything... again xD

I’m getting so much anon hate on my other blog. 

I think I agree with this terminology, however the precedence in human history is that skin color or general geographic location of your ethnicity=race so I guess both should be called the same thing? 

Honestly wizards are like a subspecies of the human race, a genetic mutation probably since it appears randomly even in non-wizard heritage children, so I wouldn’t say wizards are a different race of human, rather a different... breed? Lmao like a lab and a poodle aren’t the same breed but same species so they can have labradoodle puppies who are still the same species. Biology would be the best way to determine this but honestly our society doesn’t work that way 

sooooooo... I don’t know where I stand on the terminology. I call the muggle/muggleborn hate racism cause it’s clear what you mean when you say it, because it’s a real thing you can understand, with clear examples you can relate to in the real world. 

You got me there, friend. 

I don’t know what to call it though, the prejudice against like non magical folk, and I’m gonna go ahead and use the ‘english is not my first language’ card here, though I do speak it fluently and have for a long time? I’m gonna go with that yes. 

omg I HOPE YOU’RE OK!! ;-; <3
