[ thirteen ] quidditch quarrel - j.p.

i trudged onto the quidditch pitch, forcefully gripping my broom in my hand. my boyfriend james and i had been arguing about nothing in particular all day, and i was really pissed off by the time afternoon quidditch practice rolled around.

i joined the group of gryffindors on the field, my mouth set in a stern line. james stood in front of the group, as he was the captain. sirius stood slightly behind him; his loyal co-captain. "you're late," james stated bluntly, giving me a pointed look.

"sorry, my boyfriend was being a dick," i quipped before i could think about what i was saying. i heard a few little gasps from the group. they all knew i was talking about james himself, and they looked around nervously. james wasn't a very forgiving captain when he's had a bad day.

"get over it. we have a game in a few days." his voice was rigid, and i clenched my jaw. "everybody up!" james barked, and everyone quickly scurried to get on their brooms. we were doing a scrimmage within our team today, our positions already decided. james and i were on the same team, me being a beater and him a chaser. the balls were released and we were off.

i waited for a bludger to come my way. i watched as james hit a quaffle into one of our hoops, the other team's keeper narrowly missing the block. our team cheered; i just rolled my eyes. "show off," i muttered to myself.

i caught a bludger heading toward me from the corner of my eye, and i smacked it as hard as i could towards the other side of the pitch. i watched as sirius- who was on the other team- saw it and dodged it at the very last second. it whizzed by him and he looked to the source of the violently fast ball.

"OI! L/N! LET'S TRY NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER, YEAH?" he yelled from across the pitch. i just rolled my eyes again as i flew off to find another bludger to take my anger out on.

play continued for several more minutes, and i was flying after yet another bludger when all of a sudden someone flew full force into me from my left. our bodies collided with strong impact, and we both fell the (luckily short) distance to the ground. i groaned as i tumbled off the person who body slammed me. when i got my bearings, i looked up to find none other than my lovely boyfriend. his glasses were crooked and his sweater muddy, as well as mine.

"watch where you're going you moron!" i yelled as i stood up and brushed myself off.

he stood up too. "maybe if you weren't so intent on trying to murder your own teammates with the bludger, you would've seen me coming."

before i could answer we heard a thud next to us. sirius landed and quickly stepped off his broom. "HEY! KNOCK IT OFF," he yelled as he took long strides toward us. i suddenly became painfully aware that play had stopped above us and now everyone was looking down at the confrontation happening below them. sirius was now right in front of us. "i don't know how your stupid bloody lover's tiff started in the first place, but it needs to end. right now." me and james looked at each other, then looked away sternly, neither of us wanting to be the first to apologize. sirius leveled us with an intense glare. "fine then, get off the fucking field." he pointed toward the changing rooms. james and i immediately protested.

"that's not fair!" i shouted, not caring how childish i sounded.

"i'm the bloody captain, you can't kick me off my own field!" james growled.

"i most certainly can, and i most certainly will. neither of you are useful to me in this state. work out whatever in merlins beard is wrong between you two and come back for practice tomorrow. go."

i stomped off the field at sirius' final words, fists clenched. james quickly caught up to me.

"thanks a lot," he grumbled. i stopped walking even though i was only halfway down the field.

"fuck off potter! you're the one who ran into me!" james opened his mouth but i only heard sirius' voice again.

"OFF. THE. FUCKING. FIELD."

i groaned loudly and rolled my eyes, continuing on back to the changing rooms. james followed behind me. once we were fully off the field and far enough away, i stopped to confront james again; i just couldn't help myself.

"y'know, maybe if you weren't such a prick today we would actually be able to practice for the upcoming match." i crossed my arms tightly.

james stopped his aggressive walk and turned to me. "i was being a prick? fuck off."

"james potter, do not tell me to fuck off," i spat.

"YOU TOLD ME TO FUCK OFF TWO BLOODY MINUTES AGO. godric you're such a priss."

my mouth fell open; his words actually stung. i huffed. "fine, then why don't you just break up with me." i stuck my chin a little in the air haughtily.

it was his turn to look a little shocked. "why would you say that?"

i narrowed my eyes at him. "i don't know, you're the one who called me a priss."

"and you called me a prick!"

there was silence for a second. i let out a sharp breath.

"i've been a bit stressed with OWLs and just basically everything lately, and i've been taking it out on you."

"i can tell," he spoke pointedly. i pursed my lips at his response.

"what i was trying to say, is that... i'm sorry. you don't deserve to be treated like that. i didn't really mean any of the things i said; i say horrible things when i'm angry." my voice was stiff, but that didn't mean i wasn't sincere. james looked down.

"i'm sorry too. i get very defensive sometimes. it's nothing against you. and i didn't mean what i said either." we stood in silence once more. i was happy that we could make up so fast; it showed how strong our relationship was that we could go from biting each other's heads off to laughing about it the next moment. james looked back up at me. "well, since we're off the hook for practice today, we should hang out and mend things. we both need a shower, so..." he wiggled his eyebrows at me. i chuckled and rolled my eyes.

"james, shower sex doesn't solve every problem," i shook my head at him as he slung his arm around me.

"you don't know unless you try."

heyyyyy
i finally did a james one lol.
i literally have like 3 full blown drafts rn that i can't seem to finish, and they're all sirius, so i figured i would take a break and do a non-sirius one, and i actually finished it lol. so be ready for a few sirius ones after this one (if i can ever finish them).
