Chapter Text
*disclaimer the face claim for Remus in this is Matt Hitt and for Sirius it is Damiano David or Conan Gray*
Sirius was obsessed. Well obsessed was an understatement, Sirius lived and breathed Remus Lupin. He had posters all over his bedroom, to his father’s dismay, and had his music on repeat 24/7. Who is Remus Lupin you may ask? Remus Lupin is the lead singer of the famous band Drowners, aka Sirius Black’s all time favourite band. So, as you can imagine, when he had the chance to get free tickets and a chance to meet Remus Lupin himself he was ecstatic.
“Oh my god Lily! I need to enter this competition like if I don’t I will die.” Sirius told lily over the phone that night. “Yeah I know you would you dramatic bitch. You’ve been obsessed with Remus since we were like 15!” answered Lily laughing at her best friends antics.
Lily and Sirius had been best friends since they were born. Lily had been there for Sirius when he had come out. His mother had been accepting, his father not so much. It was so bad Sirius’ dad ended up beating him so much he had ended up in hospital where the hospital then rang the police and reported his dad. He was in jail, but Lily had stuck by him for his whole life and he loved her for it.
“Anyway what do you even have to do for this competition?” Lily asked stopping her laughter for a minute. “You have to post a picture on Instagram proving you’re their biggest fan. After the deadline they will go through them all and pick who’s is the best and you get free pit concert tickets and get to meet the band.” explained Sirius. “Well I’m pretty sure you have that in the bag just post a picture of your bedroom and you’d probably win.” suggested Lily jokingly but her friend thought this was a great idea. “Oh my god, Lily Evans you are a genius I love you.” “Wait? Why am I a genius?” questioned the redhead unsure of what she had said was so genius. “I could get you to take a picture of me in my Drowners sweatshirt in my room posing with my cardboard cut out and I could post that!” explained the boy his voice getting higher and higher with excitement. “Well then Sirius Black go get your shit together so tomorrow we can take that picture!”

“Sirius! I HOPE YOU GOT YOUR SHIT TOGETHER BECAUSE WE’RE TAKING THIS PHOTO!” Shouted Lily unlocking the door and walking into Sirius’ flat with her key. “I’M UP HERE LILS!” shouted back the 20 year old from his room getting ready for the photo his 5 year long celebrity crush had a chance of seeing. “Ooo! Make sure you put the glittery eyeliner on!” said his redhead friend walking into his room. “Yes, also I love how completely unfazed you are about the fact I could be naked every time you just walk into my bedroom.” laughed the boy sitting at his desk putting on the eyeliner Lily suggested. “Oh please I’ve seen you naked that many times nothing would surprise me anymore.” spoke Lily nonchalantly. “Right, so I was thinking, we could have you like knelt on your bed with your cardboard Remus and I’ll stand in the corner so I can get the whole room in the pic and you can like do a few different poses so you can post multiple pictures and like caption it whatever you want. How does that sound?” suggested the 19 year old to her best friend. “That sounds great! Let’s do that! exclaimed Sirius.
After two hours of trying to get the perfect pictures they had finally got one. The picture was of Sirius on his bed in his Drowners sweatshirt and baggy jeans hugging the cardboard Remus Lupin for dear life. He had captioned the picture “I would sell my soul to recreate this picture with the real Remus Lupin”, tagged @Drownersband and @Remus.Lupin and posted the photo. Now all he had to do was wait.
