44 // part three

The four of them walked in, gazing at their surroundings. Sure, maybe the Room of Requirement wasn't the prettiest thing in the world, but it was definitely unique in a mysterious sort of way.

This room surely held tons of memories. Sneaking away from class while the professors weren't looking, planning endless sorts of pranks and, of course, way too many games of truth or dare.

To Y/n, the room seemed to often adjust sizes. One day, it could be a tiny room, about the size of a moderately sized dorm room, but another day, the Room could be as big as a store. She had always wondered how and why these changes had happened, as it did quite get her to start thinking.

"So, uh, what do you guys wanna do here? Or are we just, like, looking around for memories sake?" James asked, fidgeting with a small metal figure that he had found on a nearby shelf.

Sirius carelessly shrugged. "Anyone have any ideas? We don't really have a lot of, you know, time." he muttered, as he plopped himself down on a brightly coloured, but very old, bean bag chair.

Remus looked at his watch. "We have, like, about fifteen minutes, give or take? We can play a quick game of truth or dare, for old time's sake, but only if you guys really want to. I mean, we have gotten a tad bit old for games like this if you guys know what I'm getting at." Remus stated, looking at Sirius, Y/n and James for some sort of response.

"Are you serious?" Sirius began. "Too old? For Truth or Dare? Never! Who even are you anymore, Remus?" he joked, shaking his head at Remus.

"Well, I guess this means game on!" James exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air.

"I'm starting, I'm starting!! Okay, Sirius! Truth or Dare?" Y/n immediately exclaimed, pointing at Sirius.

Sirius sighed, thinking of an answer. Usually, Sirius would go straight for a dare, but today he just wasn't in the mood to get into trouble on the very last day of school.

"Truth" he mumbled, earning a shocked gaze from the remaining Marauders.

"Oh, well, uh, that's.. new. Anyways, tell us, Padfoot, when did you first develop your crush on Remus?" Y/n asked, causing both Remus and Sirius to insanely blush. James chuckled.

"Okay, you want me to be honest?" Sirius replied, getting off of the bean bag chair and beginning to pace around the room. "The couple of few months at the beginning of Year Five? Yeah, that. Great, now all of you know my horribly embarrassing secrets." he answered, throwing his hands in the air as he grinned shyly, avoiding Remus' eye.

Remus blushed and gave Sirius a quick peck on the lips. "Yeah, Year Three for me. Bit late there, Padfoot." Remus confessed, raising his eyebrows. Sirius' eyes widened, as a huge blush grew across his cheeks. All Y/n and James could do was watch and think about how cute Sirius and Remus were with each other.

"A-anyways. My turn. JAMES! Truth or Dare?" Sirius shouted, running up to James.

James, unlike Sirius, could not care less about getting in trouble on the last day of school. Since, James, unlike Sirius, did not have any common sense. Because of this, the first thing James did was yell "DARE!"

Sirius shook his head. "Seven years, and you're still the dumbest person here." he joked, crossing his arms. Y/n nodded in agreement and James rolled his eyes.

"Okayyyy, I dare you to, uh.." Sirius thought out loud, his mind going blank.

"God, Sirius, what's happened to your creativity? If you really can't think of anything, then I'll go with Truth." James exclaimed, shrugging.

"Okay, thank you. Tell us, Prongs, when was the one moment that you realized you were in love with Y/n?" Sirius asked, slyly raising his eyebrows. Y/n blushed.
