Impossible - James Potter x Reader

Chapter 2

I was amazed, this was my ex-defense against the dark arts teacher, Remus Lupin, just much younger. His hair, that was strained with grey hair in her time, was now a dirty brown and his face looked healthier and he looked generally happy. I realized I had been staring and quickly look away.

I"- I am Peter Pettigrew", the small rat-like boy said trying his best not to shake. I hesitated to shake his hand. That was the men, or boy, that had betrayed James and Sirius, he didn't deserve my hand, the only thing he deserved, is being kicked in the balls or worst, but I wasn't allowed to spill the beans, so I decided to shake his hand. It was sweaty, sticky and just genuinely gross. I quickly let go of it and wiped my hand on my jeans.

"So, um- I'm y/n and I am new in Hogwarts, and I was wondering if you could show me around, , I akwardly ask the boys, but my gaze lingers on James the longest.

He looked genuinely hot. His dark curls that were messily hanging into his face, the chocolate brown eyes happily looking at me and his perfectly curved lips formed into a smile.

"Of course, we will!", James exclaimed happily.

"Careful Prongs, your Lily-flower wouldn't be happy if you drooled over the new Girl", Sirius laughed patting his best friends back. I blush.

"Don't worry Padfoot, no one is going to replace my Lily -Flower", James smiles proudly.

"He's right no one will replace me because I am not yours", a kind voice interrupts. I spin around and get greeted by a beautiful girl with fiery red hair and Harry's emerald, green eyes. Lily Evans, Harry's mother. She was followed by a blond-haired girl. James' face turned the shade of a tomato.

"Oh hello, are you new here? Sorry, manners, I am Lily, and this is Marlene, and you are?", Harry's Mother asks.

"I am y/n, nice to meet you", I smile.

"Since the boys don't seem to be interested in showing you around we can do it?", Lily offered, and I nodded.

A little later I was sitting in the same dorm room I always slept, just that it is 15 years before the first time I sleep in this bed. Lily and Marlene were asking questions about me and the school I supposedly use to go, but I was starting to get bored, so I excused myself and climbed down the stairs to the common room.

I was greeted with a whistle and Sirius smiling at me.

I didn't expect that kind of view this early. I gave him a confused look before I realized I was only wearing a bra and some shorts. I blushed only to be grabbed by my waste and thrown on to a Gryffindor couch by Sirius.

"You are not leaving so soon, little fox, can I call you little fox? Anyways, we need to know all about you especially about any experience in pranking and how you view schoo"l, Sirius told me.

"Hey, go easy Pads we don't want her to be scared away", James chirped in putting a warm fuzzy blanket on me covering me up protectivly.

"So, I do have prank experience, there was this one time I made my Mom Toothpaste cake and when she wanted to get rid of the taste, she tried drinking water, which spiced up with salt, you should have seen her face, but that's not all of it. When she burst into the bathroom water and flower came down, covering her whole Body", I giggled. James' and Sirius' eyes lid up.

"Epic", James mutters, only to quickly be covered by Sirius with a "Decent".

"Yeah, it might sound awesome, but the Cleaning afterwards and the long speech about how to behave was horrible"", I add.

"Well, my dear y/n, you are on the best way to become a Marauder", James smiles proudly patting my back, before leaving the Common Room followed by Sirius, Peter and Remus, who muttered a "Good Luck", to me. I smiled this was turning out pretty great.

The next week past in a blur, I was starting to get use to class, and I grew closer and closer with the Marauders every day. It was amazing, I had never felt so alive and happy. Harry's constant troubles always had kept me from truly feeling free and now I was able to leave all of that behind, but I knew as soon as Dumbledore finds a Solution for me to come back, I had to get back into my normal routine in a world, where James and Sirius where dead and Peter Voldemort's loyal traitor servant.

I was on my way to the great all to meet the others for Lunch, after an exhausting hour of Ancient Ruins, when I bumped into James.

"Easy there Foxy, we gotta stop meeting like this", he laughs before helping me up.

I slowly stand up, getting lost in James eyes again, before I realized I was still holding onto his hand quickly letting go muttering a thankyou. I was about to leave when James blocked my way.

"Easy there love, you seem to be getting lost in my eyes again", he smiles down to me.

"You were just dreaming, James", I retort.

"No, I am pretty sure I wasn't imagining it, even though you are a Dream", he flirts," putting on his adorable grin, that caught me of guard".

I shake my head and go past James, who let's me through, but not without shouting, I like your dress little Fox!, which makes me blush even more. Luckily, he can't see, how I am slowly falling for my boyfriend's father and this is when everything, that I believed in and hoped for started to fall apart and it is impossible to fix it.
