In my dreams//Harry Potter Imagines

Happy Birthday (James S. Potter)

You were in the kitchen at the Potter's house. You were helping Ginny in the kitchen, she had asked for you help with dinner. The windows were open and the warm summer breeze flowed through the window. The sun was low in the sky.
Today was an important day in the Potter house. Today was James Sirius's 17th birthday. You had been closed to the Potter family since birth but, it was only natural considering you were the daughter of Neville Longbottom. The two families were very close.
You and James had an interesting relationship to say the least. Currently the two of you were on friendly terms. He normally got on your nerves quite quickly, always trying to make moves and makings flirty comments that normally leads to him getting jinxed. He was also constantly asking you to got to Hogsmeade with him and you refuse every time. It's annoying because you can't even get away from the bloke because he is the captain of the Gryffindor Quittage team and you are a beater on the (Y/H) Quittage team. Honestly the boy seemed to have no shame.
You obviously didn't think the guy was ugly. Oh no, he was one of the hottest guys in the bloody school but, you would never admit that. Yes he was annoying but, he was okay.... Some times. It was a constant mental battle with your feelings for him.
You were cleaning a dish by hand considering the fact that you were not of age yet, therefore could not use magic. You sideways glanced at Ginny. You didn't have a gift for James yet but, the party wasn't for about an hour.
After awhile of cleaning you were waiting for the perfect time to ask, "Hey Ginny?" You said finally. She turned to look at you.
"What is it dear?" She asked with a kind smile. Her smile lines showed.
You took a deep breath then responded. "Well, I haven't gotten James his birthday present yet and I was wondering what you got Harry for his 17th birthday. Both James and Harry are so much alike I figured it would inspire me for James gift."
Ginny stared for a second then her cheeks tinted pink as her face flushed. She looked away from you. "Well I didn't exactly get him anything for his 17th birthday considering the fact that he was going to leave and look for horcruxes..." Ginny trailed off. "But if you must know." She paused and lowered her voice. "I gave him the best kiss that he had ever had."
Your eyes widened. "You snogged him? That was his present?" You said with a bit of shock.
"Yeah it wasn't the best present but, he sure enjoyed it." Ginny gave a chuckle.
You were going to say something back but the kitchen door swung open. James stepped into the room. "Mum when are the Wesley's going to..." He paused when his eyes fell on you. His lips shifted up into a smirk.
He came over and slipped a hand over your shoulders leaning in and looking at the plates you were cleaning. "What do you want James?" You asked with an annoyed tone. Ginny smiled softly as you too began to bicker playfully. She flicked her wand making the plates clean themselves. She walked out of the kitchen leaving the two of you alone. The door shut behind her.
Hearing the door shut cut off your bickering. James looked at the door then back at you. He slipped his arm off your shoulders. He didn't move away from you as you placed the plate that you had been cleaning back into the soapy water.
You looked up at him. His beautiful hazel eyes were already looking at you. Beautiful eyes seemed to run in the Potter genes. He was so close that you could see the flecks of green in his eyes. "So today's your birthday huh.." You said nervously.
He only nodded. Your heart was beating quickly in your chest. You swallowed, "do I make you nervous (Y/N)?" He said smirking.
You scoffed and looked away, avoiding his eyes. "No.. Of course not" there was a silence then someone burst through the kitchen door scaring both of you. James jumped away. You could now see Albus Severus standing in the door frame.
Your cheeks flushed from embarrassment. Albus gave you both an amused look before saying, "Would you to quit snogging? The Wesley's are all here."
You scowled, "We were not snogging." You stated.

All of the Wesley's had indeed arrived. The Potter house was the perfect size to fit all of them. As soon as you saw Rose you wrapped her in a tight hug. Out of the entire Weasley-Potter family it was Rose which you got along best with.
After everyone settled down you scanned the room. You were sat on a two person couch with Rose. Hugo sat on the arm of the couch next to his sister. Albus was at your feet sitting on the floor. The other Weasley and Potter kids were scattered all around. James was sat across the room in an arm chair. He was talking with Ron. As you looked around at everyone talking and catching up you noticed that two people were missing.
"Don't worry they will be here." You heard Rose say. As if on cue there was a knock on the front door. A honey blonde haired girl with freckles covering her cheeks walked in followed by and blue haired boy.
Your face transformed from worry to happiness as soon as you saw them. You quickly got up and ran at them. You jumped and hugged both of them tightly. "(Y/N)?!" They both said. You let go of them both.
"I'm so happy to see you guys!" You exclaim. You wrap your arms tightly around Victoria. She smelled so nice and looked as beautiful as always.
You then turn to Teddy who already had his arms open ready for a hug. He hugged you tightly. "I missed you guys." you say letting go of him.
Teddy placed a hand on your head ruffling your hair. "We missed you to." Victoria said.
Teddy and Victoria were honestly the best. You grew up as an only child. You and Teddy were basically brother and sister by this point. He acted just like your older brother. He would always come to visit you when you were young. Victoria was like your older sister. You were so happy when you saw them together, they were definitely relationship goals.
You went and sat back down next to Rose. On the small couch. They greeted everyone and took their seats.

After dinner we all relaxed back into our seats. Everyone was having an amazing time. You looked to see your dad, Neville Longbottom, talking with Harry. You looked next to Harry and locked eyes with a pair of Hazel ones. You felt your cheeks flare up. You remembered the present that you got for him, this only cause you to blush more.
There was a click and all the lights went out and the kitchen door opened. Instantly the room was lit up with an glow. Ginny was walking with her wand pointed at the cake. The cake was floating in front of her. Everyone began to sing happy birthday.
She placed the cake on the coffee table in front of James. We all finished singing. He glanced up at you his eyes locking with yours as he blew out the candles.
The lights were flicked back on and everyone cheered. James was smiling and was no longer looking at you.
~
James had opened all of his presents. They were all really goods. Your nerves were all over the place. Rose kept giving you looks, also as though she wanted to ask what was up but she never did.
After everyone had finished their cake they returned to chatting with each other. Rose was talking with Albus and Hugo was talking with Roxanne. You sat silently, nervously picking at the hem of your shirt. You then stood up and told Rose That you would be right back.
Quickly, you walked over behind James who was still sitting in the arm chair observing one of his new gifts.
You lent down "Hey James, could I talk to you?" You asked him. He gave you a questionable look but agreed none the less. He got up following you to the stairs and up to his room.
He walked in after you and shut the door. "What is it you wanted to talk about?" He asked slightly confused.
"I wanted to give you your present." You said standing in front of him, just a few feet away.
You took a deep breath. "I wanted to get you something different. I thought about getting you something to do with Quittage but, I figured most of your presents would be Quittage based." You trailed off.
"So I wanted to get you something that would stand out. Something that you really truly wanted. So I really had to think," You pause "then I found the perfect thing for your present."
There was an awkward silence. For the first time James was actually silent.
"Close your eyes..." You said softly. He did as he was told. You moved toward him and quickly place your lips on his. The kiss only lasted a second before you pulled away.
Your cheeks were flaming red and so were his. His hazel eyes opened. You realized how close you were. Your lips were only inches from his.
You gathered your courage again and attached your lips to his. They were so soft. This time instead of just standing there he placed his hands on your lower back and pulled you closer so your body's were pressed against each other. Your hands flew up to his soft hair and began to run your fingers through it.
He groaned softly against your lips and kissed you back. His tongue swiped against your lower lip, begging for entrance. You let him in and began to fight for dominance. James came out victorious.
You both began blindly walking backwards desperately trying to find his bed. Without breaking the heated kiss you finally found it. The back of your knees pressing against the side of the soft bed.
Finally breaking the kiss you fell backwards onto his queen sized bed. He smirked and crawled on top of you. He scanned your flushed face. "God you're so beautiful." He mumbled placing his lips on yours again. It was a sweet and soft kiss.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted this.." He mumbled as he placed his lips on the skin behind your ear. "This is the best present I've ever received.." He mumbled trailing kisses down your neck.
You hummed, "even better than the broom you got second year?" You asked. You felt him suck at your sweet spot. You were holding back a moan knowing everyone was downstairs.
"Yeah even better than that." He said into your neck. He kissed back up to your mouth. He hungrily kissed you and pulled you up into a sitting position.
He wa in between your legs as his tongue fought with yours. Your hands found his hair and he groaned into the kiss. One of his hands was on your lower back and the other gripping your upper thigh.
The door to his room swung opened. Rose and Albus to a step into the dark room. Rose shrieked at at the sight of the two of you and Albus's jaw hit the floor. You and James jumped apart.
Lily Luna had poked her head in as well and her eyes were wide at the sight of you and her oldest brother. Both yours and James faces were red with embarrassment.
You watched in horror as Lily ran down the steps. When she hit the living room all eyes were on her. "They were SNOGGING!" She yelled.
Teddy spit out what looked like fire whiskey. Harry's mouth fell open and Ginny's hand slapped to her mouth.
All the color had drained from your father's face. The butter beer bottle slipped from his hand and crashed onto the floor.
"Oh my god.." Albus said looking at the two of you. Rose grabbed Albus by the back of his shirt. "Sorry for interrupting," she squeaked and ran out of the room with Albus slamming the door.
You looked over at James. "Happy Birthday.." You said a bit flustered.
