the setup. (james potter x reader)

six.

i walked into the ravenclaw common room with a grin plastered on my face. gabbie and melanie were sat on some couches near the fire and i sat across from them sighing of happiness.

melanie looked up from her book and rolled her eyes at me. "what's up with you, loser?"

"and to think you would be in hufflepuff all you do is fucking bully me." i spat.

gabbie placed her book down before she looked at me. "what happened."

i grinned and started telling them all about what happened today. from ash waiting for me outside the ravenclaw common room to us dancing in the three broomsticks to when he asked me to be his girlfriend.

melanie squealed excitedly and gabbie laughed happily. grinning at both of the girls i stood up. "i'm going to change then we can go to dinner."

"sounds like a plan."

I walked up into the dorm changing into some black sweatpants and a large grey nited jumper which my mum had made for me in the holidays. i put them on and slid my slippers on.

i walked back downstairs and at the sight of me melanie and gabbie started packing up their books and got up. we walked out of the common room and walked to the great hall.

it was around five thirty so not too many people were sat in the great hall eating dinner as it was a bit early. although what shocked me was that the marauders were there.

they'd normally go late at night around eight. i was filled with curiosity and told the girls i will meet them at the ravenclaw table in a bit. the boys turned to look as me as i walked down to where they sat where i then sat next to remus.

though as i sat down their conversation stopped and they all glared at me. rolling my eyes i grabbed a slice of bread and took a bite out of it.

"now what's got your nickers in a twist guys?" i asked between bites of the bread.

Remus ignored his friends childish behavior and turned to his sister. "what happened at the hogsmeade Fawn?"

"Oh well i'm now dating Ash isn't this great." Remus grinned and gave me a hug.

Before he whispered in my ear. "If he breaks your heart we break his face." I giggled and whispered back.

"don't do too much damage though." Sirius started laughing. He could hear thinks form a mile away due to the fact that he's part dog.

I looked over at the two, James was slumped in his seat staring across the gryffindor table and glaring in the back of Snape who sat next to Lily. She was laughing her head off and looked strangely happy.

"You okay Jamie?"

"How could I, Snivilles called Lily a mugblood last year she hated him and now somehow they're best friends." He spat coldly.

I looked over at him worryingly i felt bad for the guy. he had matured much from the idiotic boy he was last year for the girl. "I'm proud of how much you matured James from last year, if Lily Evans was such a idiot maybe she could enjoy your company as much as i do."

He's eyes lit up and he grinned. "Thanks Fawn."

"No promblemo Prongs." I finished eating the slice of bread. I said goodbye to the boys then walked over to the Ravenclaw table and sat next to Melanie who sat with Gabbie and four other girls.

"Oh hello Melanie,"

One of the girls gushed at the sight of me. "Y/N Lara-James Lupin oh my it's a honor to be even near you let alone know you friends, i'm Kyla Tumbly and this is Sharai Klanda big fans of you marauders." She held out her hand smiling.

Laughing i reaches out and shook her hand along with her friends. "The pleasure was mine, by the way us marauders love how you describe us in the hogwarts daily. It's very fascinating."

The Sharai girl beamed excitedly. "Oh we certainly do try our best.

"Oh I'm Tanya Chaiseeha." One of the other girls said. She nodded from where she sat.

I nodded back. "Ni-" I tried to respond before i was rudely interrupted by the other girl that was sat down.

"Is it true your dating Ash Draw you do know Darcy Lin has liked him for years why so sudden Y/N?" She said oh suddenly. I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly and looked at Gabbie and Mel for help although they just shrugged.

"I don't know who you are so why should i say?" I asked calmly. I was not really in the mood to argue with this random girl.

"My name is Emily O'Neal you know the one you and James Potter hexed in second year." I rolled my eyes as memories from second year came back.

( flashback )
i was sat at my desk in potions next to james where emily o'neal sat behind us. my long hair was out and i instantly regretted it although i had no hair ties that day. she kept pulling my hair and all of the sudden i hear a snip.

james turned around first and quite angrily and hexed her first. i went to grab my hair but felt a big chunk of it had been cut off.

i turned around and hexed emily o'neal with james. the professor came running pulling james and i away from emily screaming as numerous students grabbed their books and backed away from the middle of the classroom. 

james and i were in detention every day for two months. i remember i had to get a bob cut and i was scarred. not to mention i got a mouth full from my parents that summer.
( flashback over )

I shivered at the suddenly flashback and got up suddenly I had to get away from her quickly. "You, bitch get the fuck away from me."

Turning quickly I began walking away frustrated though before I made it ten meters away. I felt a sting throughout my whole body. I cried out in pain as my legs could no longer hold me up and i fell forward hitting my head in the process. Groaning i rolled on my back and i looked up to where Emily now stood over me.

"Snip, Snip Y/N."
