the setup. (james potter x reader)

forty six.

After returning back to school days later we went back to our normal everyday lives. I found myself to be in the library with regulas one day after classes.

our books were laid across the table messily everywhere. he began to write then i than spoke up and said.

"regulas i'm just going to get a book, i'll be back in a second." i got up and headed towards the bookshelf's scanning the covers before grabbing the desired one and walked back.

regulas was no longer sitting there though my book was closed with a bookmark sticking out. i figured i could do the rest of the studying in the marauders dorm.

i slid my books into my book bag and began my way to the gryffindor tower. it was a cold night and not many students were out.

walking into the gryffindor common room i was careful to not wake up any one who may have fallen asleep and crept up the stairs to the boys dorms.

"boys wake up! i need your help." i exclaimed as i walked in. the four were sat on the floor in a circle with the map in between them.

james looked up shuffling to make a space for me and asked. "what may it be love?"

"please help me with this essay."

sitting beside him i began to pull the books out when the bookmark fell out. it now had black cursive writing on it that only belongs to one black. that black was regulas.

sirius picked up the note and began reading. "To the dark lord, i know i will be dead long before you read this."

pausing he passed the note to peter who then read out. "but i want you to know that i have discovered your secret. I have stolen the real horcrux and i intend to destroy it as soon as i can."

coughing awkwardly peter handed the note to james and i rested my head on his shoulder to see.

"I face death in hope that when you meet your match." james mumbled i then whispered.

"you will be mortal once again. R.A.B."

we sat there in complete silence not before sirius grabbed the map in such eagerness.

"he's not on the map, non of them are."

"it's starting." remus mumbled getting up. he grabbed his closest jumper and opened the door of the dorm.

"are you guys coming or not?" he hissed. quickly the remained of us got up and followed remus out of the dorm to professor mcgonagall's office.

i knocked on the door and proffesor sighed at the sight of us five before she opened it fully and welcomed us in. "would you guys want a biscuit?"

"urh no thankyou proffesor." i mumbled.

smiling she turned around walking away from us to sit in her chair. "what may be the issue."

"minnie it has to be starting, multiple students from slytherin have left the grounds." sirius said seriously.

"who may they be minister black?"

"regulas black, severus snape, evan rosier, narcissa black and lucius malfoy." he spat.

she got up from the chair. "well let's go talk to dumbledore about such."

before we knew it hogwarts had began to take extra precautions. curfew started earlier and the portraits hardly let students from other houses in.

it was starting to feel more like azkaban. they began to control every little thing. i'm surprised no one went mad. though the last quidditch game of the season was coming around the corner.

and that meant that we had to beat hufflepuff if we wanted that cup.

"The last game of the season! I am Sirius Black and welcome to the hogwarts quidditch grand final. Today we have Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw our you come!"

I nodded to my team and we flew out quickly onto the field and soon hufflepuff had joined us. We joined each other at our positions.

"Clean game, goodluck both teams."

As soon as the game started i lifted from the ground to find the snitch yet it was seemingly impossible to find. "Okay i know i'm the presenter but Y/N put your bloody glasses on you fool!"

Right. My glasses. With my free had i grabbed them pushed them from my head to my face quickly.

"Y/N near the goals!" Kyla shouted as she flew past me. i shot her a smile and began to start flying towards the goals.

bingo. i neared it quick and fast and managed to grab it. "They've done it! Ravenclaw has won the house cup!"

"We did it! We did it!!"
