You been stood up?"
"No James, I'm sitting here in my nicest skirt with freshly shaved legs for the shits and giggles."
He moves in front of me. "Who's the no show?"
I raise my eyebrow at him, glaring at him. I really am not in the mood to chit chat.
"No one."
"So you are sitting here with freshly shaved legs for, what was it, 'the shits and giggles'?"
I sigh, leaning forward to rest my hands on the table. "It was Dom from muggle studies."
James' eyes widened considerably. "Dom?! Why? Him? No!"
"Yes?"
"No wonder he was a no show!"I stand, glaring at him, "thanks James, you really know how to make a girl feel special." Collecting my bag, I put a tip down on the table and walk away, uttering a goodbye on my way. "No! Wait! What I mean is that you're too good for him Y/N. Way too good for him!"
"Hmm."
"Come on, have a drink with me and my friends, no use shaving your legs for nothing is it?"
I look over to the booth at the back of the pub where the marauders are getting pissed. I agree to one drink, James pulling me towards the group, clamping his hand around my wrist. When we reach his friends, they stop messing around and look at us, sobering up slightly. James slides in next to Sirius, telling me to sit. "Guys, you know Y/N, she's gonna have a drink with us."I slide next to Remus, who seemed the least sober of the lot. Surprising. "Remus over here is a lightweight, don't mind him." Remus shakes his head in Sirius' direction "nuh uh I'm sober man."
"Sure buddy." James claps his back.Sirius' pov
Y/N's one drink turned into two. Then three. Then four. Six drinks in, her and Remus were giggling over everything. I look to James, seeing him absorbed in Y/N- who was red faced and bent over laughing. In my opinion, not attractive at all, but it seemed to be working for James over there. "Guys," Peter hiccups at us, "it's nearly 1am we should head back to the castle."
Remus looks at his watch, swearing. "Peter's right, even the prefects are asleep now." James stands telling us he'll pay, and walks away. Remus and Y/N stumble from the booth into the cold night air. James joins us soon after and we begin the long trek to the castle.Half way there, Y/N decides to lie down, giggling quietly at the stars, refusing to move. "Come on, you're gonna catch a cold Y/N!" Still, she refuses to move. "I want to stay here, it's gorgeous and all my worries just float away, it's like you can't be sad looking at the moon." James walks towards her, lying down next to her. "It is beautiful, just like you, but we've gotta get back to the castle soon or it'll be morning." Y/N grumbles. "Fine, help me up." James extends his hand, Y/N managing to stand before slipping. James catches her, hoisting her into his arms. "James!"
"What, you're obviously incapable of walking and we really have to get back, you're freezing!"
"Fiiiiine." She flops into his arms.We walk in silence until we're on the path that directs us to the castle. "James?"
He looks up, obviously concentrating on not tripping because Y/N had fallen asleep.
"Is this why you wanted to go to the pub tonight?"
His eyes flick to me. "I have no idea what you mean Siri, it's Friday, I just wanted to unwind with my friends. "
"James," I look at him with my eyebrows raised. "You hate the broomsticks, you like the head cos they don't ID us as much. You insisted on going to the three broomsticks tonight and you know it. Don't lie."
"Fine, I heard from Luke who heard it from Sasha that Y/N had agreed to go out with Dom and well I knew he wouldn't show because Tom heard it from Adam who heard it from Tanya that he only asked her out for a laugh. I also knew that Y/N didn't know that since she told her friends she couldn't go to Hogsmeade as she was shaving her legs and I saw the new skirt she ordered especially, the really pretty yellow one. But she ended up going for the little black one cos people told her Dom would prefer it. I prefer the yellow, personally. So I knew she'd be sad."
"Bloody hell mate, I was expecting 'I just wanted to make sure he behaved himself ' not 'I'm so in love with this girl that I made sure she wouldn't be alone and upset."We had reached the castle now, so I opened the door for him. "I'm not in love with her Sirius," He said scoffing. "Sure James."
"I'm not!"
Y/N stirred at his volume, James immediately stopping to ensure she didn't wake up. "Right, completely not crazy in love."
He began walking away, towards Y/N's dorm. "I can't hear you, I'm too far away. I'm not listening."James carried Y/N to her bedroom, Remus having already passed out on the common room couch and Peter trying to shift him into a comfortable position. I followed James to open her door.
Her room was bright, even in the early morning. It radiated Y/N, cluttered but orderly, notebooks and paper spilling from the desk and her uniform discarded on the floor. James set her gently on the bed, leaning down to take off her shoes. "Okay Mr. I'm Not In Love, why are you taking off her shoes?"
James looks up, placing one heel on the floor, "because, they're pointy I don't want her to scratch her legs." I nod sarcastically, turning to look at her bookshelves. "Say, James, isn't this the book you were so frantic to buy?"
He glances over, nodding guiltily, "I heard it was her favourite and wanted to be able to talk about it with her."
I hum at him, replacing the book before wandering back to the bed. James is finished with her shoes now, tucking her into bed and watching her sigh contentedly. Not looking up from her, he speaks. "Sirius," I reply, looking at him with my arms crossed, "I think I'm in love with Y/N." I smile, clapping him across the back, "I know James, I know." I turn , opening the door, "come on, you can tell her of your undying love when she's sober, we should get some sleep."
He reluctantly looks away from Y/N before walking out the open door. I smirk before following him."Knew it."
