A GOOD GUY WITH A BAD ATTITUDE [James PotterxPandora Rosier Marauders Era]

A Good Guy With A Bad Attitude

I am here to tell you about the young love that I experienced during my school years, I am Pandora Rosier and I am a pureblood sorceress however the woman I am in love with is not, she is Lily Evans and she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen here she is muggle born, I have nothing against muggles but I can't say the same about my family only my twin brother Evan isn't against it. I met Lily in the library, I was in year 5, she's a Gryffindor and I'm a Ravenclaw, well she had some friends in Gryffindor who however were not very inclined towards studying I think you have heard of them they are the marauders.

Lily and I immediately became friends and I fell in love shortly after meeting her and started going out with both my group of friends and theirs and that's how I met the famous James Potter.

James well what can we say about him he really is a boy with a heart of gold maybe he doesn't have good attitudes, he drinks a lot at parties, he constantly makes jokes and when he walks in the corridors it seems like he is parading but he is also always there for his friends and the person he loves, my best friend Regulus.

Everything was born from these two unrequited loves of ours, we spent the nights talking about Lily and Regulus to console ourselves until one day we came up with the idea of ​​pretending to be together to see if they would get jealous, now I'll tell you how.

"Lily is absolutely amazing, she's so smart and sweet" I said sighing
"I understand you too Regulus he is, maybe he's not exactly sweet" we giggled "sometimes I hope they notice us, you're such a good girl you deserve to be with Lily" James said sincerely
"And you with Reggie, sometimes I wish she felt even a little jealous when she sees me with Dorcas at least I wouldn't feel like a bad person when I see her with Mary or Marlene"  I said sincerely looking at the stars, we were in Ravenclaw tower the only place where we could find some peace to chat.
"And I would really like to make Reg jealous just to see if he doesn't hate me like he says he does." then I look at myself a grin grew on his face, the typical Grigno of Prongs the leader of the marauders, he had something in mind something that a good boy wouldn't do but that a marauder wouldn't think of
"How about we pretend to be together? I mean we already spend a lot of time together it would be enough to kiss each other every now and then give each other some nicknames in front of Lily and Reggie! We could see if they get jealous or sad to see if they like us and then I'm pure blood for your parents it would be fine if you were with me and if you ever get together with Lily I can be your cover!" I tried to think of a negative side but there wasn't one, in the end it would have been all an act and maybe I would have discovered that Lily has a minimum of interest in me so I accepted. “Okay Jamie, I'm in” we actually started pointing out our “relationship” one day when we were hanging out with everyone else.

A few months ago passed when we pretended to be together but nothing, no one seemed to notice, perhaps because we are two very affectionate people of our own or perhaps because James was not very attentive to maintaining the role of the boyfriend but more to those who must always be the center of attention. It was November 1st and it was starting to get cold, we went to Hogsmeade, I took James's hand as we walked, he smiled at me and I intertwined his fingers with mine, I was anxiously afraid of James' reaction.
"It's starting to get cold, you can see that winter is near" I said smiling as usual.
"In fact it's strange that you forgot your scarf, you're usually the one who tells everyone to cover up" Evan said looking at me and noticing the hand intertwined with James's he just raised his eyebrow looking at me but didn't say anything.  I looked at James, he took off his scarf and put it on me, I blushed for the first time, I thought it was the cold or that that day we hadn't had time to say how and what we had to do for the play, so I thought about the time, he kissed my forehead gently
"hold mine, I don't want you to get sick" I felt everyone's eyes on me, I wrapped my scarf around me and he smiled then we continued walking until the three broomsticks. I felt watched so I turned and saw Reggie my best friend with a different look than usual when James took my hand I noticed the suffering in Regulus' eyes but it wasn't just pain and guilt for Reggie that I felt but also a feeling of warmth and tranquility while James held my hand he didn't look at Regulus and neither did I look at him and I wanted to resolve the situation but to do so I would have to put an end to this fake association and I couldn't do it there at that moment.
 
Once we returned to Hogwarts I grabbed James by the wrist and immediately took him to the Ravenclaw common room.
"What are we doing?" I said looking at him my fingers gripping his wrist, months had passed since we started this fake relationship but only now did I notice the sadness in regulus, only now I noticed how he looked at me pretending to be happy for me, I was a terrible friend and a terrible person.
"Well let's follow the plan as always right?" James said not understanding, he hadn't watched him suffer like I did, I sighed and looked at him.        
"Regulus." I said clearly
"Regulus what?" He asked me confused  
"Regulus likes you when you took my hand, he was hurt and I hurt him... We shouldn't have done this thing, it's stupid, you should have tried with Regulus instead of making him more and more jealous!" I said with tears in my eyes, I was selfish and followed James' plan while common sense.
"Pandora..." I stared at the floor, I didn't answer, I was immersed in my thoughts, he took my face and kissed me,ok we had done it other times too but usually close to the others just for the piano and I didn't understand, I didn't understand anything anymore. He slowly pulled away and looked me straight in the eyes. "It's been a while now that I haven't felt anything for Regulus, ever since I discovered that he has the brand but I didn't want to stop helping you and little by little I realized that I have feelings for you Pandora I don't want to be your fake boyfriend I want to be your boyfriend would you like to be my girlfriend?"  I looked at him perplexed, I didn't understand what I felt for him, what did I feel for Lily? And Regulus...? How would he react?
"James you are a good boy but you have some bad habits..." I said
“Are you rejecting me…?” I nodded 
"...yes I can't do this to Regulus and Lily... Yes Dorcas told me that Lily has a crush on you this afternoon...  And so maybe it's better to close all this drama, I like you but Regulus is more important." I went to my room. The next morning we didn't even speak to each other and so for several days I told Regulus that we broke up. A year passed, we rarely spoke, but Lily and I became friends again, the crush I had on her also passed and in the end she and James got together, I had seen it in the spheres James and Lily would have a son who would save the wizarding world one day.
