the setup. (james potter x reader)

sixteen.

I pushed Sirius away from me shifting closer to james. "Stop you dog!"

"Bit rude." He said like a child frowning. I stuck my tongue out.

It was the twentieth of december and four days before we could go back home and i couldn't wait. Even though we'd only be able to see our parents for one day before they have to go to work.

I still couldn't wait. Although Remus could wait the full moon was on christmas and no one was looking forward to it. Although it will only be him and i stuck in st mungo's that night.

Remus looked up from his plate of food coughing awkwardly. "I'm not going home this year Y/N." I spat my bread out turning to him.

"What why? i can't go home now i will not allow myself let's tell mum and dad now."

"Stop, they told us to stay. They don't want us home." He mumbled. I rolled my eyes.

"Mother might not father though." James put his arm around me.

"Well i guess i'll stay too, mum and dad won't mind." He said whilst pulling me closer. I pushed him away from me.

I rolled my eyes at him. "You're on thin fucking ice Jamie."

"Awh Fawn."

I grabbed another piece of toast before i ate it quickly. "Well if James stays i kinda have to."

"That's settled then we're all staying." James said whilst clapping his hands together.

"Uh i can't i'm sorry, mum wants me back she saids it's really important."

"That's okay Peat."

After we all finished eating we got up heading to the quiddich pitch. James wanted to practice for a bit and i figured i could do with some aswell. James and Sirius headed into the Gryffindor change rooms where i headed to the Ravenclaw ones.

I changed quickly before coming out onto the pitch with my broom in hand. It was around nine in the morning so not many of the students were awake yet which meant only us five were at the quiddich pitch.

Remus and Peter sat in the stands and i saw Remus pull his book out. I swear on my life he should be in ravenclaw not gryffindor.

"There's goes the snitch Y/N zone in!" I turned around before i mounted my broom. I got up chasing it. I watch James and Sirius play.

They're playing a little one on one and by the looks of it James is a bit sloppy. "Hey Potter! Learn how to concentrate you nitwit!"

"Put a sock in it Lara J!" I grinned turning my head back to the snitch before i managed to reach out and grab it. Grinning i turned the boys waving it in my hand and i flew back down the box of quiddich supplies.

"here's the snitch Jamie." I passed it over but instead of putting it in the box he shoved it into his pocket grinning at me.

"Shh."

Sirius rolled his eyes and i did too. I walked into the changed room and changed back into the normal uniform feeling the cold air against my legs.

Stupid me i should've worn thicker stockings under my skirt. I joined the boys as they just existed the Gryffindor change rooms and we started walking towards the castle.

Remus and Peter has left the stands a bit ago due to the temperature drop. I shivered before i turned my head. Only to be treated by a snow ball.

"Which one of you was it!"

"Sorry Lara J." James sheepishly shrugged and started running away from us.

Sirius started making as many snowballs and started throwing them at him whilst i chased after him. I caught up to him jumping on his back. Instead of catching me like he normally he does he fell over chuckling as i landed on top of him.

Our faces were millermeters apart and i could feel his warm breath in the cold air. His normally pail cheeks were rose and his glasses were so clear i had the perfect view of his hazel eyes.

Snapping into reality i pushed myself off. "Oi! Lovebirds are you done starting into each other's eyes yet?"

I scowled turning to Sirius before i made a snowball throwing it at his face. We continued the snowball fight for a bit until each one of our cheeks were rosy and our lips were nearly blue and we walked to the gryffindor tower.

"Chocolate Frogs." James mumbled.

"I'm not letting you three in."

"Why?"

"Cause you can't enter."

"Let me in you twerp." I said angrily.

Sirius laughed suddenly before he finally managed to push through. "Sirius Black! I thought i could trust you."

"Why could you trust me when your just a painting?" He questioned. I grinned and i sat on a couch next to the fireplace trying to warm myself up.

"So lovebirds when are you two gonna start dating." Sirius asked sitting up.

"Shut the fuck up Sirius."
