'𝔍ames, I'm not about to abuse my relationship with the one friend I have in Slytherin for you to- what was that prank again?' Y/n questioned, looking up at her best friend. The both of them were in the boys' dorm room, just hanging out, when James brought up the plan. The other three were waiting in the common room. 'Put pink hair dye in their shampoo bottles. It's mainly for Malfoy. And, maybe, we might sneak in a shampoo for Snivellus.' Y/n rolled her eyes at the nickname for Severus.

'That was a bit personal' Y/n chuckled, Folding a shirt of James' and setting it into his cupboard. 'You don't have to do my chores, Y/n. Mum will kill me if she hears!' He mumbled before throwing into the cupboard all the neatly folded clothes that Y/n had set on his bed. With a horrified look, she turned to her friend. 'Oh, she'll hear about that, alright.' Y/n glared at him.

James, with a sigh, walked forward. 'Will she now?' He asked her. Y/n started walking backwards as James walked forward. She hit the open cupboard while James cornered her between the two open doors. 'Yea, she will.' Y/n answered fiercely, her breath shortening slightly. James leaned close to her, up to the point where she could see his eyelashes better and the soft, faded freckles that were scattered around his cheeks and nose. 'Idiot' he whispered with a smile, flicking her nose.

James walked back to the bed and flopped onto it. 'So, you won't ask Pandora about it?' He questioned with his doe eyes. 'No.' Y/n spoke in a tone of finality as she started folding his clothes again.

Fake tears sprung into James' eyes. 'You-you don't love me do you?' He fake cried. 'No.' she sighed. James let a sigh out and shrugged. 'It was worth a try-' He was cut off as the door burst open. 'What did she say?' The boys asked, looking at James. 'She is still here' Y/n rolled her eyes, putting away the clothes she had folded.

'We know- what did she say?' Sirius brushed the girl off. Y/n gave a scoff and threw a book which hit him on the head. 'Ouch!' He groaned, falling to the ground in surprise. 'Nice shot, love' Remus complimented quietly. Y/n gave him a soft smile before closing the cupboard door. 'Thank you, Remus.' Sirius sighed from the floor. 'Can you fold our clothes too?' He asked. Y/n made a face. 'Sorry, no' She said, sitting down next to James, who immediately fell to her lap and she placed her hand onto his hair, massaging lightly. 'First come, first serve, bitch!' James exclaimed, pumping his arm and flipping Sirius off.

Y/n sighed at her best friends immaturity befor pushing him off her lap and onto the floor.

James groaned softly as his head hit the floor. He was laying face to the ceiling, his torso on the ground and legs on the bed. Y/n chuckled before pushing his legs off of the bed too. He groaned again as they laughed.

'Hello...' a voice whispered. Y/n looked up from "Hogwarts: a history" to see Regulus shuffling nervously on his spot. 'Hi' Y/n gave him a smile.

'Is it true that you made a perfectly working Shrieking potion?' He spoke quickly. 'Uh, Lily did most of the work, but... yes.' She said, nodding. Regulus's face scrunched up when she mentioned Lily but Y/n brushed that off.

'Could... you teach me?' He asked, looking down at her. 'Uh... I don't know potions, Regulus. I mean, I know it, but I can't teach it. ' She sighed. Regulus flinched slightly at the use of his first name. He was used to being addressed as "Black" by strangers.

'Oh...' was all he said, looking down. He looked so much like a lost puppy. 'You know what? How about... I give you my potions book before and after my classes?' She asked, standing up. Regulus looked up from his shoes with a gasp. 'You'd do that!?' He exclaimed suddenly, causing someone to shush them. 'You're really kind'. Y/n blushed a bit at that.
