The American witch (Harry Potter reader insert)

Uh Oh...

'fuck fuck fuck...i'm late'
those were your exact thoughts running back through the forest. jumping over logs and fallen tree limbs you ran as fast as you could. your feet were getting more and more cuts so were your arms.
it was a good idea to leave your robe at the entrance of the forest. looking to the side of you Bean was right there running with you. on the other side was a new creature, a stag, it was an exhilarating feeling. suddenly it felt like you were running incredibly faster.
the burning feeling in your leg muscles went away. your lungs stopped burning as well and felt as if they were brand new. a log was in your path. you started running even faster with a new determination, you got closer and closer to the log; then right when you got in front of it, you jumped. you noticed the stag had kept by your side and so did Bean. you felt as if you were flying, touching the ground you saw how close you were to the edge of the forest.
you slowed your pace and started to walk. once at the edge you noticed both of your shoes were next to your robes. turning around towards the stag you slowly put your hands on his face.
"i have a job for you, i need you to keep a friend of mine in the forest some company, he's in a clearing just around the way." just like with Grey the stag seemed to understand what you were saying. taking out some berries from your bag, you laid your hand flat for him.
"good boy...i'll come back with some more tomorrow bye bud" you turned around slid on your robe and grabbed your shoes before running back to the castle.
the stag watched you run away before turning into a man. the man watched as you turned around the corner before smiling slightly and disappearing into thin air.
running to the DADA classroom, you were 30 mins late for class. you were so in trouble. reaching said classroom you slammed open the door, startling everyone. you looked like you were attacked by something.
your once tight braid had leaves and sticks in it and hairs falling out. your arms had scratches all over, so did your face. holes were made in your stockings; your shirt was covered in dirt and your shoes were held in your hand.
"hope i'm not late" you said to the professor that was stunned into silence. with a cheeky grin on your face and a certain gleam in your eye, it reminded the professor of someone he once knew.
"S-sirius?" he muttered
you cocked your head the side, looking at your professor.
"what was that sir?"
shaking his head, "nothing my dear, may i know your name so i can get on with class"
a grin made its way across your face, "my name is y/n l/n sir"
"very well Miss l/n, please stand next to Mr Potter"
you walked over to where Harry was standing. he immediately turned to you looking you over.
"bloody hell, what happened to you? why are you all scratched up?" his eyes caught sight of your feet "and why aren't you wearing shoes?"
you placed your shoes on the floor and slipped them on.
"i'll tell you after class ok? we gotta pay attention."
Professor Lupin had started to explain what you guys were going to do.
"so can any of you tell me what's inside this closet behind me?"
right next to you Hermione raised her hand.
"a boggart" Hermione answered.
"bloody hell where did she come from" you heard Ron ask Harry who just shrugged.
"correct, 5 points to gryffindor. now can anyone tell me what a boggart looks like?"
this time it was you who answered, "nobody knows it takes shape of whatever you fear the most; that's what makes them so-"
Lupin cut you off, "terrifying yes. 5 points to slytherin. well i found this one and asked Dumbledore if we could use it."
Lupin got out his wand, "now i want everyone to repeat after me, riddikulus"
from the back you heard someone muttering "this class is ridiculous"
Lupin had everyone line up to practice the spell. one by one everybody faced there fear. Ron was in front of you and it took the shape of a spider. he stuttered out the spell and the spider had rollerblades on each leg.
it was your turn, you didn't know what your fear would be so you were prepared for anything. but what it did turn into was something you couldn't prepare for ever. 
in front of you was your sister and her wife. they looked at you with absolute hate, their bodies were all mangled. Ace, you sister's nickname, had road rash all on the side of her face and bones were sticking out of her. Chip, her wife's nickname, had gunshot wounds all over her and blood spilling out.
"HOW COULD YOU Y/N...HOW COULD YOU LET US DIE! ITS ALL YOUR FAULT YOU ARE THE REASON WE ARE DEAD!"
you had dropped your wand the moment the boggart turned i into them.
"i-i'm sorry i know it's my fault i'm sorry sissy" you had started to break down.
"I'M SORRY I-IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME" you screamed.
Lupin jumped out in front of you and warded off the boggart.
"alright that's enough everyone out...OUT!" everyone except you had left. you were still on the floor muttering to yourself.
Lupin had walked over to you slowly and kneeled down. he put his hand on your shoulder to get your attention.
"y/n...y/n i need you to look at me" he said softly.
you cautiously peered your head up, you expression broke Remus' heart. you looked like a frightened child who just came into contact with the monster under your bed. then he realized...you were a frightened child who just faced her monster under the bed.
you were only 13 years old and this was your fear. most of the other kids had stuff like snakes and other things.
yours turned into not one but two mangled women who yelled that it was your fault.
"i-i didn't mean for them to die...it-it's all my fault isn't." you sobbed.
then it happened again, Remus saw Sirius.
"no it's not your fault darling" Remus brought you into a hug. Remus had this odd feeling in that moment. he had felt the need to protect you, keep you from all harm emotional and physical.
after a few moments you had calmed down, your sobs had turned to hiccups and whimpers.
keeping you in his hold Remus had asked what you happened and you told him the exact story you told Snape.
reaching for your bag and took out the playing card and chip.
"this playing card was Diana's my older sister, but we always called her Ace. mainly because she always carried this with her also cause no matter what card game she played she would always win." you smiled while holding up the ace of spades.
"this poker chip was her wife's, Allia, like Ace we called her Chip. she was amazing at poker taught me everything i know about it. wanna know the irony of it all, they met in a casino." a sad smile painted across your face.
"they sound like fantastic people and a lovely couple."
you laughed, "they were, i had trouble making friends in america. so they decided to become my best friends and it was the best years of my life. sometimes i forget it happened only a couple years ago." you were in a haze so you just kept talking about your life in america.
"things went to shit after Ace's death. mom left us, dad started drinking and married a bitch who already had a daughter younger than me. she was a sweetheart that little girl. but damn did she get on my nerves, last summer she made me mad enough it triggered the magic in me and i accidentally lit her hair on fire." Remus had looked at you with a look of disbelief. you just met him and here you were talking about everything that happened in your life. you didn't know the answer to that either you just felt safe with him.
"then when Chip died, i lost my escape. she was the one who gave me Bean and helped me move past Ace's death. and right when i started to get better, a school shooter decided to shoot up my school."
Remus brought you closer to his chest when you started crying again.
Bean had placed his head on Remus' leg looking up at you with sad eyes.
Remus started rocking back and forth in an effort to calm your tears. once he felt your shaking stop he looked to see if your tear had stopped. you were asleep you had cried so much it must have tired you out.
Remus wondered if this is what it felt like to have a daughter. ever since James and Lily had Harry, Remus had wanted to be a father.
before Sirius had been taken to Azkaban they had talked about their future together. they both wanted a child to raise preferably a baby girl. but Sirius was taken away before they could ever adopt one; and now here you were asleep in his arms as if he was your father.
Remus felt guilty; he wanted to experience this type of feeling with Sirius. he didn't even know where his past lover was. with a heavy heart, Remus moved to hold you bridal style. placing your robe over you as a blanket he lifted up and started walking towards the hospital wing.
as he was walking, you started to shift. Remus stopped to check if you were alright. but all you did was shift closer towards him and slightly dig your head into his chest. with a slight shake of his head Remus continued on his way.
again unknowingly you had wormed your way into someone else's heart.
uh oh...
