When you stick up for them

🪵James Potter🪵
Lily was complaining about how annoying James was, even though you were the one she was talking to. You'd been able to deal with it up to a point,but it was just getting ridiculous now.

"Lily, stop taking. He's my boyfriend, and you're complaining about every little thing he does. You seem to be finding things to complain about. There is no way that I'm going to let you keep doing that. I don't care if you did it to Marlene, or Mary, or anyone else to be honest, but stop doing it with me, it drives me insane!"

"I-I-I'm sorry, you're right. I'll just leave, let you cool down a bit."

Lily walked away and up the common room stairs with her head hung low. It was only then you realised James had walked in and heard most of that.

"That's so cute, you were sticking up for me, it's like you're in love with me or something!"

"We never talk about that again."

"Whatever you say."

🪵Sirius Black🪵
Some girl who's name had only ever been mentioned once infront of you was stood talking to her friends. This might not seem like a big deal, but you'd heard what she was saying.

"Sirius isn't even a good kisser. He goes around bragging about how amazing he is, but he doesn't live up to expectation. I don't see how he has a girlfriend, in fact, he's probably just faking it."

"I'm sorry to intrude, but you do realise it's rude to talk about someone behind their back, especially even it's all lies."

"I'm sorry, do I know you?"

"Well, you may not know me, but I certainly know you. Sirius mentioned you. He said something about you being the worst person he'd ever kissed, even if it was only a dare." It was a very entertaining night. The girl stood with her mouth open, offended as her friends all hid their laughter behind mouths clamped shut. "Now, I think you should get a move on, you don't want to start catching flies."

She stumbled away as you felt an arm wrap around you. "This is why you're the best." Sirius mumbled into the side of your head.

🪵Remus Lupin🪵

"Have you seen them, they cover everything. They ruined him, he would have looked so much better if those scars weren't there." A group of younger students had been laughing and pointing at Remus for awhile now, and the only thing that had been keeping you sat in place was his hand on your wrist.

As the comments had continued it had gotten tighter in an effort to look unaffected, but also to stop you from leaving. But finally he loosened his hand, only for a moment, but a moment long enough for you to escape, and before Remus could process what was happening, you were over at the group.

"Listen here, if you think you can go saying stuff like that and not have to face consequences, you're wrong. His scars are perfect, and it's not like you can say much, what have you got going for you."

"Y/N!"

"Oh, hey!" Remus made his way over to you, before clasping your arm and dragging you away. "No, let go of me, I'm not finished." You turned back to the group of students, unsure of how to react. "I'll fight you, and I'll win."

As you were removed from the room, you decided you should probably find Sirius and ask him how to fight someone, just incase one of them decided to take you up on your offer.

🪵Regulus Black🪵
You'd just been sat minding your own business when you heard someone mention Regulus' name. So obviously you decided to listen in. I mean, what else did they think you were going to do.

Turns out they were insulting him, and you couldn't have that.

"What did you say?"

"I said, your boyfriend has no backbone, he can't even stand up to his own m-"

You didn't even realise it, but you'd punched the boy just as Regulus came up behind you.

"Y/N"

"It's not my fault he was insulting you."

"Come on, before a teacher sees anything."

As you were being pulled from the room, you noticed a dull throbbing in your hand. Acknowledging the fact that you'd never punched anyone before, that did make a lot of sense. You held it together until you left the Great Hall.

"That really hurt my hand."

"I'll sort it out, just promise me you won't do that again."

"I can't make any- fine, I promise."

🪵Tom Riddle🪵
I don't know if this needs a warning, but Y/N threatens to kill Mrs Cole.

You stood outside Wool's Orphanage waiting for Tom to come and meet you so you could spend the day in London. It had taken a lot of convincing, which was probably why it was taking him so long.

"So you're the girl Tom keeps mentioning." Mrs Cole began, "Are you sure you really know him? I mean, I don't know what they do at that school you go to, but I do know that when he's here, he scared a lot of the children."

"No, I'm sure I know him just as well as you do. Maybe even more."

"He's killed things. He doesn't deserve anything as pretty as you. You're the sort of thing that will fuel his habits. He'll ruin you aswell. Do your parents not know? They'd stop this, he's not the sort of boy that gets girls like you."

"I think you'll find, you're wrong" As you took a breath to continue, she spoke again.

"He thrives on suffering, you'll-"

"No, don't speak out of turn, I had to wait for you to finish your foolish ramblings, now you have to listen to me. Tom is better than you could ever be. If you even think of talking about him like that again, I will take that tawdry necklace from around your neck, and hang it form the ceiling with it still around your neck. Then, I'll leave you there for the children to find you in the morning, your lifeless eyes still clouded with fear. OK?" She gave a horrified nod, before looking past your shoulder and hurrying through a door.

"You've just proven why you're my favourite person." Tom came up behind you with a proud smirk. "Now come on, you said you had somewhere to show me." He placed a hand on the small of your back and led you through the front door.
