you & me. (james potter x reader)

three.

september 10th 1977.

"why can't you listen to me why wont you believe me!" i cried.

"keep your voice down do you think the whole of hogwarts would like to hear our argument? do you think that would help our families reputations with my cousin and your brother betraying our own bloods!" adam responded sternly. he turned his head and sighed, "there is no way Regulas would have the nerve to say that to you."

"you're believing him over me? are you mad? he is suggesting i deserve to be killed and you support him? what a way to be a boyfriend black."

he turned to me anger in his expression, "don't you dare refer to me by my last name. what are you trying to do, scare me?" he stepped towards me.

i took a step back. hearing the dead leaves under my feet crunch as i did so.

"what are you not telling me about what your conversation was. why are you lying saying that was all which was said!"

"there was nothing more! why is it so hard to believe!"

"it's so hard to believe because i spent days over the summer wondering where you were without explanation! who you were with and what you were doing. heavens know if you were with a paramour!" he spat, he stepped towards me again and grabbed my wrists taking a hold of them stopping me from turning and walking away. "you are sneaking around for months! but once someone tells you, that you could get hurt for doing so, from being sneaky. you run back to me and expect me to put them in their place. i am sick of your childishness." he let go of my wrists and took a step back.

"i-i-"

"are you going to respond?"

"i-i-i-"

"you are unbelievable. come find me when you have things to say. i am not paving your way for you anymore. i have better things to do right now." adam walked towards me placing a kiss on my forehead before turning around and stomping up to the tower, utterly defeated.

what just happened.

taking a seat beside a tree which faced the black lake i broke down crying.

"oh y/n, y/n why are you crying!" a voice cried and i heard footsteps run towards me. i looked up wiping my tears to be greeted with golden red hair. "oh come here," i hesitated to lean into her arms, but went against that feeling when i felt her pull me in and i held onto her tightly until i calmed down and no more tears had fallen.

i looked up and smiled, "thanks lils."

she smiled warmly, "oh of course. it is a bit chilly out here do you want to go sit somewhere inside and we can talk about why your upset. only if you would like."

"sure."

lily and i sat by a fireplace in the library as she told me a story from the holidays. about how she saw severus, but little to her information i had already gotten intel about this well visit. from severus the day of. he had written me a almost four page letter describing their day to me and how he felt utterly in love with her.

"evans and oh look who it is, y/n"

"potter." i responded sharply.

he grinned, "don't you look so lovely today. except for those well makeup stains on your cheeks oh let me get those wont you." he took a couple more steps towards me and squatted down to my height as i was still sitting down, and pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped my face, "oh y/n." he mumbled softly.

"james-."

"shh a boy needs to concentrate does he not." a couple more seconds passed then he stood up and smiled folding his handkerchief promptly. "anyway, how come i find you two together."
