day 14 - dancing under the rain - blackinnon - @blackinnonfest

she loved to hear her friends' stories about their holidays in remote places. after all, that was what wizards were like, always secluded, hiding from muggles, either by getting as far away from them as possible or by using spells to repel them.

lily, however, shared different stories and had made them all jealous.

that was how they all turn up camping, the muggle way, on a site near the beach. the state of their world was so bleak, they knew there was a chance that for it to be only opportunity they could all be together that way. a group of teenage wizards and witches living the muggle way, if only for a few days.

what none of them had accounted it for, was the rain. it was supposed to be mid summer for merlin's sake. they were all sheltered under their tents, waiting for it to pass. it had been whole day by then.

"oh for god's sake, this is stupid" marlene said, getting out of the tent she was sharing with sirius.

"what are you doing? get back here!" sirius shouted, pocking his head out the tent. "there's no fire, mckinnon, we won't be able to warm your clothes if you get them all wet, you'll catch a cold" he was aware he sounded to motherly for his usual disregard of common sense, but he wasn't particularly interested in sharing a tent with a sick person, even if it was his girl.

"we'll use magic then" she replied.

"what's going on?" james head appeared out of his own tent.

"what's happening?" lily's voice join in.

"i'm going out for a walk" marlene stated.

"you can't!" lily shouted, emerging from under james' head.

"watch me!" marlene shouted back as she started running in the direction of the beach.

"oh for fuck's sake" sirius hissed, getting to his feet and running after her.

when he finally reached her, she was laughing, trying to get away from the waves as they make their ways to her feet before retrieving once more.

it was silly, giving the fact that after spending as much as ten seconds under the rain, both he and marlene were soaking wet.

but she, sirius could tell, was having too much fun, it was contagious, her laugh, the way her curls stick to her face.

he ran towards her and picked her up. marlene yelped in delight. he managed to run a few feet before putting her down again.

marlene hands landed on his chest, a broad smile on her face.

"what about the cold?" she asked.

"there's no muggles around, mckinnon" he replied.

marlene head turn to take a look at the beach. sirius was right, they were the only ones left.

"guess we'll have to use magic then" she laugh, getting on her tip toes to land a kiss on sirius' lips.

she loved he was the only guy tall enough to required for her to strech out to get to his level.

after that, sirius turn her on his arms, as if they have been dancing, and when he pulled her closed again, marlene had the fleeting though that right there, that moment with sirius, was all the magic they needed.

seconds later, they were joined by lily and james, the only ones brave enough to get under the rain, and spent the rest of the afternoon chasing each other, laughing and screaming, just as regular teenagers should do.

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy being like, "I am 100% committed to respecting your 'no', but I heard you wouldn't promise my aunt not to marry me so I had to come and check just one (1) more time."

Just the normal amount of relief upon seeing your best friend is still alive after the summer holidays.

Prongsfoot being dramatic at the train station, as usual (get a room)(they're platonic)(knowing Sirius' parents the dramatics are justified)

This one's just a quick thing, because life is getting in the way. How dare they try to make me work :|

I have so many favorite hc for blackinnon, but my all-time favorite is Sirius having a bad feeling the night Marlene dies and telling her not to go home, to spend the night in his house, to stay together-- but Marlene thinks he is being paranoid and goes to visit her home, and ends up dying there with her family. I just love the idea that Sirius lives with the regret that only if he insisted more, maybe that wouldn't have happened.

happy to serve the blackinnon nation 🫡 and to have found @astracoreiisblog along the way 🤍

Was looking at the blackinnon tag all day and just wanted to say that I and @skelteroid were carrying blackinnon 2025😭😭😭

Sirius isn't an attention seeker, he's an attention atttractor, he does not have to do anything to get attention, c'mon guys, get it right 🙄
