"Ready for the game [Y/L/N]" a voice called from behind as you were trying to get your team situated. You spun your broom around to face James Potter.

"Yes I am. Are you ready to lose Potter?" You questioned smirking slyly. It was normal for you and James to exchange a few insults before a quidditch match. You were the captain of the Ravenclaw team after all where James was the captain of the Gryffindor team.

You were both really competitive and so you didn't particularly like each other (or at least you acted like you didn't). Admittedly you sometimes enjoyed this time before the game. It was a little amusing.

Once you were done exchanging words with him one of James' team mates called to him from Gryffindor's side of the pitch and James had to fly off. To your surprise before he left he shot you a smile, a genuine smile. Strange...

That games wasn't awful except for the fact you had lost! You were miserable as you changed out of your quidditch uniform. You were really hoping to win this time.

You sighed. There was always next time... that's what people said right?

When you walked out of the change room you spotted James on the pitch alone. Weird you thought he would have gone and celebrated with the rest of his team. The boy did like attention.

Part of you wanted to just ignore James and walk away but then you remembered that would be unsportsmanlike of you. Pushing away your pride you walked toward James.

"Nice game Potter" you said through gritted teeth. James spun around, a look of surprise on his face but that look was quickly replaced by a cocky smile.

"Yeah it was. Especially since we won".

You rolled your eyes.

"Only by ten points" you remind "we were beating you the entire game. The only reason you won was because you caught the snitch. If we would have gotten a couple more points we would have won! That snitch wouldn't of meant anything and...".

"Are you done making excuses?" James asked raising eyebrow.

You turned bright red. You really wanted to smack that smirk off his face.

"Yeah I'm done" you said reluctantly.

"Good" James held out his hand and for a moment you hesitated but ended up shaking it.

"What are still doing here anyway?" You questioned "thought you would be with the rest of your team throwing a party or something?".

"Oh I'll be getting to that soon" James assured making you roll your eyes yet again "but first I have to ask you something".

You raised an eyebrow "really?".

"Yes. [Y/L/N] would you like to go out this weekend? For a date or something?".

This took you off guard. You weren't expecting him to say anything like that. You hesitated to answer for a moment but eventually you were able to speak.

"Yeah ah sure".

"Good now I'll be off to that party" James grinned. You stood there still in awe as James disappeared. You didn't move from that spot for a long time. You still hadn't fully processed all this. Were you going on a date with James Potter?

"Ready to lose again [Y/L/N]?" You looked to see James standing near you on the pitch, broom in hand.

"James you are aware that you can refer to me by my first name correct?" You questioned grinning at your boyfriend.

You and James had gone on more than a few dates since he asked you out a while ago. Now you were officially a couple.

"Yeah but I like the sound of [Y/L/N]. Too bad soon you'll have to change it to Potter".

You laughed "is that so?".

"Yes I'm going to make sure of that... right after a beat you in quidditch".

"What makes you think you'll beat me?" You asked.

"Oh I dunno maybe it's because I always beat you".

"I've beaten you 41% of the time Mr Potter" you reminded smirking slyly.

"I love it when you do math" James said leaning over and kissing your forehead "but may I remind you love that I've beaten you 59% so I still win".

"Whatever" you said mounting your broom and climbing on top of it "keep in mind that just because I'm your girlfriend does not mean I'll go easy on you".

"Can't say I'm surprised".
