the setup. (james potter x reader)

forty three.

I pulled the my quidditch jumper over my head as i paced in the change room. I stood on a box in the middle of the room and shouted. "Ravenclaw we have a big match game today!"

I waited and the whole team scrambled and rushed over. "Well yes we do."

I went over some game strategies then not long after we heard Ravenclaw get called to the pitch. "Here we have our favorite Ravenclaws Y/N Lara-James Lupin! Captain..."

Doing a couple of practice laps we then settled and went into our spots. "May the odds be in your favor Lara-J."

"As to you James." The whistle blew and i rushed and sped away.

The weather was decent today and it didn't seem to be horrid at all. Hopefully it would keep this up. "Y/N look ou-!"

Turning to my to Kyla's voice i shot her a confused look before i felt myself being knocked off my broom. "James!"

"Y/N!" What does one do when they are falling. There's not much if you think about it. I felt myself land in a huff. My arms around my head.

Though i didn't feel the impact of the ground. I turned and chuckled to see James. "Wrong team Potter."

"You're welcome." He said grinning. Flying to the ground where my broom had landed i got off James's one and rushed to mine.

"And Y/N is up as James had helped her! Now let's finish this finals match shouldn't we?" I chuckled before regaining my senses and spotted the snitch.

Grasping it in my hands i grinned and held it up high. "They've done it! Ravenclaw is in the quidditch grand finals!"

Days after the finals i had organized the team to do trainings with my assistant coach while i did other things. "Do you think flowers will still smell the same after you press them?"

"What kind of question is that James?" I sent him a questioning look before turning to grab some bread.

"Fawn do you ever eat anything other than bread!" Sirius exclaimed and i smiled munching on it.

"Not really." I finally responded. Remus who was sat beside Sirius pulled a chocolate bar out of his pocket and probably took one of the biggest bites ever.

As Sirius and James began to argue over something idiotic i spotted Lily Evans enter the great hall and she rushed towards us. Before i could say anything she grabbed my arm.

"Erh hello Lily whatcha doing?" Remus asked.

Though Lily didn't reply back pulled me up from the table and dragged be out of the great hall. Leaving the confused marauders behind.

Dragging me into a empty hallway she let go of my wrist and bursted into sobs. "Lil if what happened because i think we caused a bit of a scene." I mumbled softly.

"S-s-severus and i broke up." I sighed and rubbed her back slowly pulling her closer to me and giving her the biggest hug ever.

She pulled away and i grinned. "Well girls night today. We can all sob together and watch bad muggle movies on the potable VHS television you brought."

Later that evening i walked to the marauders dorm to change into pajamas. Well just into my pants i decided to steal one of James's shirts to wear.

As i began to sneak out of the boys dorm area and began to walk down the stairs into the gryffindor common room. "Lara J!"

"yes love." I responded turning to him. he walked closer to me and wrapped his arms around my body placing a kiss on my head.

"Staying with us tonight?"

"no sorry i said i'm staying in Lily's dorm, because girls night."

"Ah okay, goodnight i love you."

"I love you more." I mumbled pressing my lips on his before turning away and running up to the girls dorms.

The dorm had multiple pillows and blankets and food on the floor in front of the television. "Well girls let me introduce you to Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory."

I smiled before sitting in between Lily herself and Alice. The movie began to play and the girls night began. Just us five, food, a lovely lady with a broke heart, blankets, a nice movie and two unknown engagements.
