summary/prompt: James Potter x reader, London Boy by Taylor Swift
warning(s): nothing

(We can go driving in, on my scooter)

(Ah, you know, just 'round London)

I love my hometown

As much as Motown, I love SoCal

And you know I love Springsteen

Faded blue jeans, Tennessee whiskey

Transfering from Ilvermorny to Hogwarts was quite a difficult thing to do. The culture shock, the stares, the comments on your accent, everything. It was so much different and dare I say, maybe even better. But that's mostly because every pretty girl and cute boy you saw had such a dreamy accent you fell in love on the spot.

But something happened, I heard him laughing

I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent

I abruptly stopped walking as the most beautiful sound on Earth filled my ears.

"Y/n?" My new friend and roommate, Lily, asked.

"Who is making that sound?" I asked, peaking around the corner. His bright smile and adorable dimples made my heart speed up as Lily looked over my shoulder and scoffed.

"He's not worth it, Y/n. That's James Potter, he's a total dick." She said, pulling me back but I froze again as his voice filled my ears. I looked at Lily with an open mouthed smile and she shook her head at me, fighting off a small smile of her own and grabbing my arm, dragging me away.

They say home is where the heart is

But that's not where mine lives

"Oh, how the tables have turned." Sirius joked as Y/n sauntered away, her usual smirk still on her face despite being rejected for the thousandth time.

James threw a piece of toast at his face, "Shut it, Pads."

"I don't understand." Remus started. "You obviously like her, why do you keep saying no?"

"He likes the attention, duh." Peter spoke up with a teasing smile. James rolled his eyes but didn't deny it.

"Maybe it is a little nice to finally receive the same attention I used to give out, but is that so wrong?" He asked and Remus shook his head.

"Well, I think it is. It wore down on you, Prongs. And you know it. Eventually, it started to hurt you a lot, who says that'll be different for her?"

You know I love a London boy

I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon

"I'm actually really glad I finally said yes." James said as we sat in the Three Broomsticks.

I snorted, "Me too. We Americans know how to date, alright. With me, you'll have the time of your life."

He likes my American smile

Like a child when our eyes meet

Darling, I fancy you

I smiled widely as I made eye contact with James from across the classroom. He blushed and winked, before scribbling down on a piece of parchment, balling it up and throwing it to me. I unfolded the paper and smiled at the writing. Wanna go out? Yes ☐, Yes ☐ I laughed quietly and wrote down my answer, throwing it back and almost hitting another student in the head.
