Chapter Text
Some lucky witches and wizards are born with people they’re destined to be with. Their bond would causes whatever you wrote or drew on your skin to appear on your mates body in unison. Most people don't believe soulmates exist until they have writing appear on them. Y/N knew soulmates were real because her parents are soulmates.
In her sixth year in Hogwarts, Y/N finally mustered up the courage to see if she had one. She was sitting on her bed in the Hufflepuff dorms practicing charms when she dropped her wand and grabbed a quill and ink pot. Dipping the tip into the ink she slowly inched the quill closer to her left hand.
Taking a deep breath Y/N placed the tip of the quill on the back of her hand. ‘Hello.’ She wrote in a neat flowy script, then threw the quill onto her bed letting out the shuddering breath she had been holding.

In the Gryffindor dorms, The Marauders were currently engaging in a pillow fight, scratch that, a pillow war. James and Peter were on one side of the room hiding behind a large chest of drawers with a mound of pillows and cushions next to them. Sirius and Remus were on the opposite side of the room behind an empty bookshelf that had been turned onto its side with what seemed like a mountain of pillows. The four boys were launching them across the room, shrieking with laughter until their door slammed open.
Lily Evans stood in the doorway with a stern look on her face.
“Will you please keep it down!” She shouted. “The first years are trying to sleep and most of us are studying. Have some respect for others!”
“Alright, keep ya knickers on.” Sirius said putting his hands up in surrender to the feisty redhead.
He took a sharp breath in, and pulled his hand to his face.
“I didn’t write this.” He said aloud.
“Whats that Pads?” James called across the room.
Sirius held his hand up. Remus took Sirius’ hand and took at the writing.
“Your soulmate is writing to you.” Remus said softly. He pulled his hands up and moved to rake them through his hair, but Sirius grabbed one of his hands.
“You’ve got one too!” Sirius half shouted.
Together the two boys gazed upon the writing on Remus’ hand, then back to the script on Sirius’.
“They’re the same handwriting.” Remus muttered, just loudly enough for the three spectators to hear.
Lily came inside the room shutting the door behind her. James and Peter emerged from behind their hiding spot and crossed the room. Lily reached the two boys first and grabbed their hands. They were right, the handwriting is the same on both hands.
“You need to write back.” Lily says, her voice bouncing with glee.
Both Sirius and Remus walked to the desk and picked up a quill. They dipped them into the ink. Remus watched Sirius put the tip of the quill onto his hand above the pretty script, then put the tip of his own against his skin under the greeting their soulmate left there.
~~~~~
Still sitting on her bed, Y/N stared at her hand, hoping someone would write back. After a few minutes she closed her eyes to attempt to slow her almost hyperventilating lungs.
When her breathing had returned to an almost normal state she opened her eyes and stared at her hand, her mouth dropped open and she stopped breathing all together. Rather than just the one word she had written there, two very different looking greetings were there.
On the top of her ‘Hello.’ was a messy ‘Hi there’ with a little winky face drawn next to it. Below was a small and neat ‘Good evening.’
Y/N grabbed her wand and quickly cleaned her writing from her hand, but the others stayed. Another sentence appeared before her eyes from the neat writing below their greeting.
‘I know you will be overwhelmed, your writing appeared on both mine and one of my best friends hands. Which may be better than he and I not knowing each other.’
Y/N sat staring at her hand for a good few minutes before finally reaching for her quill.
Trying to find the right words the quill hovered above the small space between her two soulmates writing, until she finally started to write.

Back in the Gryffindor dorms, five sets of eyes darted between the backs of two hands. A deep groan left Sirius’ throat.
“Give them time.” Remus scolded his impatient friend. “I’m sure two soulmates is a lot for one to take in.” He continued in a lighter tone.
Every mouth in the room let out a similar squeak when witting started to appear on both Sirius’ and Remus’ hands.
‘Yeah, I suppose its easier. But it would have been funny if you didn’t and one of you woke up and thought I was having a conversation with myself though.’ In a slightly less neat but still pretty script.
Sirius and James burst out laughing.
“They’re perfect! Imagine getting news like that, then make a joke about it.” Sirius mused with a warm smile on his face.
Remus picked up a wand, it wasn’t his, and quickly cleaned his and Sirius’ hands. He grabbed a quill and dipped it in his ink.
‘So, do you go to Hogwarts?’ He wrote quickly.
Within seconds both hands had the reply etched on them. A simple ‘Yes, I’m a sixth year. You?’
Sirius grabbed the quill from Remus and wrote on his own hand, being careful not to write over where Remus’ writing would be on their mates hand.
~~~~~
‘Yeah, we’re sixth years too.’ The messier writing joined in on the conversation. After cleaning her hand, she could see red marks where her words had been written that suddenly started to sting.
‘I’m sorry to cut this short, but my hand is starting to get scratched by the quill. Goodnight xxx’ She wrote and drew a smiley face at the end.
Putting her ink and quill away, Y/N smiled to herself. It was considered lucky to be blessed with a single soulmate, and she was blessed with two.
After putting her wand under her pillow, she grabbed the books on her bed emerged from behind the curtains of her four-poster to put them back on the shelf. She quickly rushed back into the safety of her bed, no one had noticed her as she done so.
As she laid down, Y/N looked down at her hand. ‘Goodnight, sweet dreams.’ The neater writing said. ‘Night, love. Wish you were here.’ With another wink the other scrawled.
