Miss you- James Potter x Reader

A/N: I know I just did a James x Reader recently, but I got a really good idea today and I wanted to write it! Sorry, it's a bit sad again... 

James' POV:

October 31st, 1981:

Something feels off tonight. As lay on the couch with (Y/N) and Harry, a sinking feeling settling in my stomach. (Y/N) looks up at me in concern, I can tell she feels it too. I stroke her hair and she holds my hand, drawing little circles on it with her thumb. 

"We're gonna get through this. We're gonna be okay. We have each other and Harry. I love you." She reassures me. I smile at her sadly. We shouldn't have to go through this. We're only 21 and Harry is barely a year old. 

About an hour later we hear a shrill laugh in the street and some yelling. I look to my wife and she looks at me terrified. We both jump up from the couch and she grabs Harry. I turn to her and kiss her and the baby. 

"Go, run out the back door and go to Remus or Sirius! Don't you dare for a second think you're being selfish by running, because you need to save Harry. Don't worry about me I'll hold him off." I say to her as tears begin to spill from our eyes.

 "Please, come back. Okay?" I nod and kiss her one last time before she runs out of the living room and out the back door. I turn to the door as it's blown off it's hinges. Smoke fills the room as I pat myself down looking for my wand. As Voldemort steps into the room and I realize too late that I left it in the kitchen. He stands there staring at me with a wide smile on his face. 

"Where are they?" He asks, I just shrug my shoulders, "Y'know you're little 'friend' Pettigrew told me all about how Black convinced you to switch secret keepers because he thought it would be safer. Then, he told me where Harry was!" He laughs again and I feel my heart drop to my stomach. 

Peter? He's the traitor?  One of  my closest friends... betrayed me. I look him straight in the eyes as I'm overcome with anger, "I'll never tell you! You can kill me, but you'll never lay a hand on my child or my wife!" 

His smile turns into a sneer as he speaks the very words I was terrified to hear, "Avada Kedavra!" I'm enveloped in green and I feel a fire like pain course through my veins. As I fall to the ground I see Voldemort go up in smoke and ashes. Then everything goes black. 

When I open my eyes again I'm next to (Y/N) and Remus. I see both of them on Remus' couch in tears, holding each other. As she sobs, Remus as silent tears streaming down his face. I begin to walk over to them as she begins to yell. 

"I left him! I didn't argue! I was so scared and I didn't want to leave him but he just kept saying, 'Go! Save Harry!' I let him go, Remus!" She sobs and I can feel my heart break as she yells out in pain. Suddenly, she jumps up from the couch and begins pacing, "Damnit! Damnit, Remus! I'm a horrible wife! I've ruined Harry's life! I've killed your best friend!" She lets out another scream and drops to the ground. 

Remus gets up and walks over to where she is on the ground, "You did the right thing, (Y/N/N). I'm sure he can see you right now and if he were here he'd say, 'thank you'. Because you didn't kill, James. You save his child and the love of his life." 

As I watch the interaction I can feel the tears running down my face as well. Remus gets up from the floor and walks away. I crouch down next to (Y/N) and try stroking her hair. But, my hair just goes through her. However, she must have felt something cause she looked up quickly and put her hand on her head. 

"I love you, darling. I'm sorry I can't be with you, but know Remus was right." I speak to her, hoping she understands. Unfortunately, she just begins crying again, "You'll see me again one day, my love."
