the setup. (james potter x reader)

twenty four.

in a couple of weeks came james's birthday and that meant of course another party. we held it on the sunday night before his birthday. let me just say it was defiantly a bad idea.

waking up on monday morning was a struggle especially with all of us marauders piled up in the middle of the boys dorm room with pillows and blankets covering them.

i slept next to remus and let's just say a very drunken sirius was angry at me. i chuckled as i got up my glasses still on my face from last night.

i pulled myself out of the room chuckling at the four boys who remained there hugging and holding each other for dear life.

i remained in the outfit i wore the night before. i snuck out of the gryffindor common room and walked across the school the the ravenclaw one.

once entering my dorm i grabbed my robes and walked into the bathroom where i then showered then changed into my robes. i threw my firth's clothes in my trunk and grabbed a wrapped gift which laid inside and headed back into the gryffindor tower.

it was quite early in the morning about seven thirty or something like that and hardly any students were awake at the current moment. walking back in the marauders dorm i was greater with the boys now awake.

with james sat in the middle with three presents. "there you are we were waiting for you."

"happy birthday jamie." i sat down across from him pushing the gift to him.

he firstly opened up peters gift which was a photo of us marauders and james smile at it before tucking it into a pocket in his robe. he then opened remus's which was some of james's favourite candy. next he opened what sirius gave him which was some socks and he laughed quietly.

he then looked at mine pulling it closer to him. he opened the box and read the small card which i had written late at night when i nearly forgot about his birthday.

he smiled before tucking it in the same pocket as he put the photo in and pulled the jumper out. i had knitted a grey jumper for him which i had enchanted with the lily smell.

pulling all of us into a hug then pulling away he grinned. "cheers guys."

we started to leave the room around eight before james pulled me back. "huh are you alright james?"

"i really appreciate that letter y/n. i liked it a lot." i grinned.

"i should write more letters for you then you'd like that wouldn't you?" i asked between giggles.

"i suppose i would." i smiled leaning forward placing a soft kiss on his cheek.

"happy birthday you big baby." his smiled faded away and he started laughing. i began to run down the stairs of the common room where i tripped.

nearly falling head first down i felt james grab be from behind pulling me up. "your clumsy as hell y/n."

shrugging i pulled his hand to the great hall feeling the butterflies flutter in my stomach. "don't bully me james."

"i'll try not to wolfy."

"i feel attacked twenty four seven with you."

"i'll try to stop love."

"you better."

as the day went on i found myself to stare at james fleamont potter a lot. finally coming to a conclusion that i do like him. i was eating my bread at dinner before sirius spoke up.

"who are you guys gonna ask to the ball?"

i shrugged before glancing around the great hall. shae sheen? no he'd probably go with daisy. lucas francis? no. dante day? defiantly not.

i shuttled turning to the boys once again. "got no clue, ill decided once someone asks me."

"bit cocky there." james said.

rolling my eyes i nudged him lightly. "bit rich from you prongs."

chuckling i turned back to remus and sirius. "i assume you two are going together then."

"we are? remus why didn't you tell me?"

"shit i forgot to ask you." remus began then he turned to sirius and in the most dramatic voice he said. "Sirius Orion Black will you make me the happiest gay ever and go to the end of year ball with me."

"Remus John Lupin i would be flattered and i will make you the happiest gay ever."

i chuckled at the two before turning to peter. "what about you peet?" he shrugged before shoving more soup into his mouth and i chuckled.
