the setup. (james potter x reader)

seven.

i slowly opened my eyes groaning. i had the worst headache ever. i went to sit up but i felt someone softly push me back down.

"madam mas said you had to lie down." the soft voice said.

the sun was bright and i didn't have my glasses on i could hardly see anything. i weakly coughed as i whispered "could you pass me my glasses."

the person handed me my glasses and i slid them onto my face and soon i could see everything.

the person sat in front of me was remus and ash sat on the other side of my bed though his head was rested against the mattress and he was softly sleeping. i lifted my hand and slowly ran my fingers through us hair.

remus however was holding my left hand making sure i was okay. the rest of the marauders, melanie and gabriella sat on numerous benches them all being asleep.

i looked over seeing melanie wrapped in sirius arms and i giggled quietly. i looked over at remus. he looked exhausted with bags under his eyes.

"how long was i out moony?" i mumbled.

he looked at me tiredly. "two weeks or so, by the way your got ravenclaw seeker." i grinned before i squeezed his hand.

"i'm sorry i couldn't be with you when it was the time of the month for you moony. you have a couple new scars that are bad."

"yeah but i'll be alright, i always am aren't i?" he chuckled at me tiredly.

I brushed the hair out of his eyes. "Go to sleep Moony please for your favorite sister."

"Okay but wake up Ash it's his shift to watch you anyway." He said tiredly before he laid his head against your hospital bed and fell asleep.

i used my right hand to lightly push Ash away. He looked up slowly before his frown turned into a grin.

"your awake." he said happily.

"i am aren't i?" he got up form his seat leaning forward to hug me. he kissed me softly on my lips before hugging me once again.

"i didn't think you were gonna wake up for a second scarred me to death."

"well we can go off blaming O'Neal for that."

"oh yes we can."

I chuckled before i asked him. "What happened to O'Neal and what did she do to me in general." he pulled away from me and sat back down in his chair grabbing my hand and holding it tightly.

"Well I remembered it exactly, I had just walked into the great hall to eat dinner and i saw you get hit by a curse O'Neal shot at you. we don't know what it was but you screamed real loud it wasn't pretty. Somehow it managed to make you have a coma."

I coughed looking at his expression. "I'm sorry." i whispered.

"You're fucking sorry? what for. Y/N you have to be crazy you must've hit your head hard when you fell down." He said laughing trying to lighten the mood.

I squeezed his hand smiling before i went back to frowning. "What did happen to O'Neal?"

"Got suspended for a month so she gets back in two weeks."

"ah okay, i might go to sleep again i'm terribly sorry." i took my glasses off and put them next to me in the bed. i began closing my eyes.

"don't be sorry love, rest as much as you want."

"by the way could you take a photo of melanie and sirius cuddling with my polaroid camera which should be inside my backpack which is inside of remus's bag. i want to mock them forever."

he chuckled. "i certainly will." i felt him kiss my head before i drifted off to sleep.

the next morning however when i woke i wasn't surrounded by my friends. after i put my glasses on and looked around i saw a polaroid with a piece of parchment laid across.

in messy handwriting that must be james it wrote. 'found this quite funny we must make fun of them for the rest of their lives-prongs'. i chuckled. i don't know what medicine madam mas gave me yesterday but i was defiantly feeling ten times better.

the hospital wing was fairly empty expect for a strange looking boy who sat in a bed on the other side of the wing glaring ahead. i ignore it before i got the bell from the bedside table and rung it.

in seconds madam mas came out running and headed over to me. "are you okay dear?"

"just wondering when i can leave."

"how about i do one last checkup to see if you can." i nodded smiling.

she checked my temperature, head, arm and throat. i'm not gonna lie but it was the weirdest checkup ever but if i can get out of here as soon as possible it'd be great.

she stood back smiling with glee. "your free to go miss lupin."

i got out of the bed grabbing the polaroid picture and the note shoving it in my pocket. i walked over to her and gave her a hug without thinking then awkwardly pulling away.

"thankyou madam mass," i started skipping out happily.

"take care miss lupin."
