Hello! I was wondering if you could write a James Potter x Reader where the reader is Remus' neighbour and they teach him and Sirius how to use a skateboard (totally didn't get this idea from watching amazing spiderman lol) thank you!♡

James sat down groaning softly as he lazily grabbed a piece of toast. "Oh Prongs, would you stop! It's been a week! You have to move on mate, now you tried your best with Evans. You see women are extremely jealous creatures you just have to date a girl prettier than her. And then Evans will regret not going out with you, she'll start giving you signals and that's when you have to play hard to get, mate. Before you know Evans will be all over you." Sirius explained to his friend. Remus took a seat beside Sirius "You really seem to know your way around women eh Pads?" he said buttering his toast. "Now Mooney don't limit my power to be just around women," Sirius said with a wink. "So, you really think that'll work?" James said he seemed to give Sirius advice some real thought. "I'm certain it will mate" Sirius reassured his friend helping himself with some mashed potatoes.

"Well anyway, my mom invited you lot to spend a few weeks of summer at our's," Remus said looking at his friends. Peter who had been quiet all along, said "I can't, my mum says that it's bad enough not seeing me during the school year." Sirius rolled his eyes "Oh Peterkins! I miss you so much!" He mimicked Peter's mom in a high-pitched voice." Everyone laughed at this even James "I'd love to go mate" he said to Remus "Yeah me too I just can't get enough of our Mooney wooney" Sirius said and everyone started laughing again.

So, in the first week of August Sirius and James showed up in the Lupin's fireplace, "Oh Remus look there here, don't just stand there boys, come sit" Mrs. Lupin said smiling at the two. Mr. Lupin was sitting at the table reading the Daily Prophet, "Hey boys everything alright?" he asked "Yes sir" the pair of them said. And Remus walked into the dining and took a sit, "Hey guys I was thinking we could go around the town after a while". "But first some breakfast boys," Mrs. Lupin said setting the table, so they started having their breakfast. There was a slight knock at the kitchen door and a girl walked in holding a tray and a skateboard. "Y/n" Mrs. Lupin smiled at the girl as she tightened her apron "Morning Mrs. Lupin, me mum baked some soda bread this morning," the girl said handing the older women the tray. "Well, that's nice of her" Mrs. Lupin said smiling as she took the tray, "Now why don't you have some breakfast here?" she asked. "Aye thank you Mrs. Lupin, I'm telling you I don't fancy that soda-bread all that much" Y/n said putting down her skateboard and taking a seat beside Remus with a "Good morning Mr. Lupin". Y/n apparently hadn't noticed James or Sirius yet, her eyes flickered first on Sirius and then on James. Even though their eyes met for a mere seconds James felt a familiar jolt going through him. The girl then looked at Remus suggestively, "Oh yes I'm sorry" He apologized "James, Sirius this is Y/n she's my neighbor and Y/n these are my best mates." He introduced. They resumed their breakfast, after a while, Mrs. Lupin walked out of the kitchen and flicked her wand as Mr. Lupin's empty cup was refilled. "Remus why don't you take Y/n along when you are taking Sirius and James to see the town?" she suggested. "Yeah Y/n, if you want to, you can come along with us," he said looking at her "Okay I will," she said as she finished the breakfast.

After all of them had finished, Y/n grabbed her skateboard and the four of them set out, "Cool skateboard" Sirius commented. "Thanks, want to ride it?" Y/n offered him the board. Sirius shook his head sheepishly, "I'd love to but I don't know how to ride a skateboard, it's actually more James's thing, he's the best seeker Hogwarts has seen in a century, he's really good with his broom." Sirius said grinning proudly at James. Who smiled too, he knew what Sirius was trying to do but nevertheless he said "I'd like to learn if you would teach me." Y/n looked at him and smiled warmly "Sure,".

"Hey does Mooney know how to skateboard?" Sirius asked with an amusing smile on his lips, "Can you imagine Remus with a skateboard zig-zagging down the streets," Y/n said and the three of them roared with laughter. Remus rolled his eyes "Ha ha very amusing" he said sitting by a stream that ran slightly further from their house. Sirius took a seat beside him hurriedly opening his shoes and socks before dipping his legs in the water. Y/n leaned against a nearby tree and James did the same "I haven't seen you around Hogwarts before" he said honestly. "Because I don't go to Hogwarts" Y/n replied gently "Oh? A different school?" James asked curiously he didn't really know a lot of wizarding people who had never attended Hogwarts. "No, I am home-schooled" Y/n replied again with that same tone "Right" James nodded he looked at her she had beautiful h/c hair and shiny e/c eyes which sparkled in the late morning light. "So, you're a seeker?" she asked looking at him "Yeah," he said looking away quickly hoping she hadn't caught him staring already. "My brother was a seeker too; he was really good." She said looking away again a sad smile tugging at her beautiful lips. "That's great, he attended Hogwarts then?" he asked "Yes, he did." she said sadness laced in her voice. James remained quiet wondering what caused the pained expression?

Sirius was splashing water at a groaning Remus, "Want to learn how to skateboard?" Y/n suggested. James nodded enthusiastically and they walked towards a deserted street. James fell down a couple of times but then he learned how to manage his balance slowly he was able to go a long way without having to stop and regain his balance. Y/n smiled and cheered James on.

Around mid-afternoon, they stopped smiling and laughing they started walking back to the stream. "There they are Mooney, he was wondering where you two went but I told him that James was probably getting som-" Sirius stopped, looking at Y/n's raised brow daring him to carry on. "She taught me how to skateboard!" James said "That's nice but we need to go back for lunch now," Remus said as he started walking, Sirius winked at James and followed Remus, "That was fun," James said smiling at Y/n softly "Thanks". "No bother," Y/n said returning his smile. "I'd better get home too. help Mami set the lunch." Y/n said looking down the street "Hey erm if you want to, we could err go get some coffee or something later?" James said the words were out before he could stop himself. Y/n smiled "I'd love to." She said colour rushing to her cheeks.
