Lost With The Marauders Era

Meeting James Potter

As she steps through the fireplace behind Dorea Potter Y/n looks around the room before her eyes land on the family. She blushes a little when she notices that James is looking at her but quickly turns to the adults in the room.

"Fleamont, Euphemia this is my ward, Y/n Black. Y/n, this is Mr. and Mrs. Potter and their son James Potter." Dorea said.

"It is nice to me you, Lord and Lady Potter," Y/n said as she shook their hands. Turning to James "Potter."

"Now no need to be so formal in this house. You can call us Fleamont and Euphemia, Y/n" said Lord Potter.

Y/n turned to Dorea silently asking if it was indeed okay. Or a least trying to play the part of not knowing such things. Dorea nodded and then told James to show Y/n around the house so that the adults could speak. Y/n didn't like the idea of being alone with him just yet especially after reading the letter from the future him.  He offered her his arm for her to take sighing she took it and they left the room.

"You know that you could just take me to the manor's library and you can leave to do whatever it is you rather be doing," Y/n said trying not to enjoy being this close to him. 

She could not understand how she was feeling this way around him. She was blushing and felt butterflies in her stomach she remembered only one time where she felt this way and it was when she was around Remus in her third year at Hogwarts. But almost lots of students had crushes on their teachers once upon a time. Oh god, Remus. Oh, how I hate you right now Sirius. Y/n smiled at James when he stopped them from walking any further.

"What makes you think I am not enjoying showing you around?" he asked.

"I just assumed that you would rather be flying a broom rather than being forced to show a girl around your home."

He smiled, "I don't mind would you like to fly with me."

Y/n raised a brow at his choice of words. 

"I mean on your own broom. I have more than one you can borrow one of mine."

Y/n smiled, "Maybe some other time, but if you show me the library. I'll be fine on my own."

"You are a strange girl."

Y/n felt insulted by his mumble but decided to wait on getting him back for his comment because it seemed that he did not mean for her to hear it. She took his arm and he took her to the library and failed to notice that he was watching her every reaction. 

"I'll be back in a bit. I need to talk to my father about something," said James.

"You don't...oh you are already gone. I really can see where your son gets his speed from."Y/n said with a sad smile.

She missed everyone her mother most of all. She turned back to the books and smiled up at them. 

"Well, he did say in the letter to smile. This place does make me smile." Y/n whispered to herself.

Y/n found a book that she was surprised to spot and grabbed it and sat down on one of the armchairs. She did not know how long she had been there reading but was surprised to be woken up to seeing Harry.

"Harry?"

"No sorry, it's James. Are you okay? You looked like you were having a bad dream you calling out for someone called Tonks. Who's Harry?"

Y/n noticed when he asked about Harry his tone sounded a bit upset. So to set his mind at ease she gave him half-truths.

"He was a friend that would help me with my bad dreams about my sister. They are both gone now. She was taken first killed in front of me."
