Infelicity [P. Parker x Reader]

n i n e

Peter answered the door almost immediately. As soon as he saw it was me, his smile grew tenfold. Quite surprising, really. I thought he had the hots for Liz, the soon to be senior who is almost always seen partying or creating the party. Don't get me wrong, she's very nice, but something just doesn't sit well with her.

Ned was already there working on the Triwizard Tournament set. It was a smaller set, but the dragon was super cool. I must say, the Newt's case set had a better set of magical creatures AND the set just looks cooler.

Ned turned to look in my direction. "Hey, (Y/N)! Glad you could make it!"

"Hi guys. Ned, I see you've already started on the Triwizard set. I call dibs on the astronomy tower! There's finally some Ravenclaw appreciation! Plus, the set's just really cool in general. Peter, have you started a set yet?" I asked.

"No, I just got back from Spidey duties. Someone also recommended that I pick up the pizza on the way." Peter sent a playful glare at Ned before continuing. "Besides, I was going to wait until you got here anyway."

"I stopped by Ms. Farina's on the way here and was able to grab us some tiramisu! I think this one is just chocolate. Well anyway, here's all eight movies, but I doubt we'll make it through without at least one of us falling asleep." I handed the stack of discs over and Peter walked over to the PlayStation we're using as a DVD player.

I walked towards the coffee table and grabbed the larger box that holds the Astronomy Tower in 971 pieces. Piece of cake if you sit down for long enough.

With Ned already occupying the couch and a lap desk with the set, Peter joined me by the coffee table. I heard the opening music play and began to dance excitedly. Peter and Ned chuckled at my child-like excitement.

We were most of the way through the first two movies (also almost through the larger Lego sets) and I realized something groundbreaking. Having to share, I quickly jumped up and paused the movie. Both look up confused as to why I paused the movie.

"Ok, just hear me out here. If Harry is the only wizard with glasses that we've seen in these movies, and he knows magic exists, then why doesn't he use magic to fix his eyesight? Isn't that the obvious answer instead of continuously having to fix his glasses?"

"Would there really be a way to do that? I mean, didn't James also have glasses?" Peter countered.

"Magic had evolved since James died, may he forever rest in peace, so there may have been a way for Harry to fix his eyesight." I definitely didn't want to lose this debate.

"Why are we Siriusly debating this in the first place?" Ned added, really just wanting to add in a pun.

"There must be something Ron with you if you don't want to join in!" I smiled, knowing nobody can beat my puns. I think my best puns are by bird puns, but I'll sparrow Peter and Ned from them.

The night moved on and more of the Lego sets were being completed. We'd been cracking jokes about the characters or the plot when there were good opportunities. We were also already through year five and it was way past midnight. Good thing we didn't have school the next morning. Ned had fallen asleep after the fourth year, and Peter and I were growing tired as well.

I think we were at the point of Slughorn's Christmas party. I watched as Draco was brought in by Filch, but began to drift in and out of sleep. When I opened my eyes again, Draco was pointing his wand at Dumbledore. Man, did this movie fly by. I didn't even get to see "Drunk Harry" from Felix Felicis.

My eyes, too heavy to stay open, shut again before I was able to process what was happening.

Slowly, the world came into focus and I saw sunlight shining through the one window in Peter's bedroom.

Wait, Peter's bedroom? What am I doing in here? I sat up and realized my phone was buzzing hectically. Who was trying to call me?

Stank was on the line.

Shit. I forgot to tell him I was going over to Peter's for a movie marathon. Normally he doesn't care as long as I'm back before midnight. Well, I'm about ten hours late on that one.

Picking up the phone, I heard him yell, "Where the hell are you? You didn't tell me you were going out!"

"Aw, you actually care about me?" I responded.

"What? Of cou- no wait, I'm doing this for Cap. You're still a pain in the ass."

"Relax, I'm just at Peter's. We were doing a Harry Potter movie marathon and I fell asleep during the sixth movie. New record, might I add."

He sighed on the other end. "Just let me know next time. I was actually debating calling in Cap to come and find you."

I didn't know we had a way to call Cap.

"Ok, ok, I will. I have to go. I'll be back soon." I ended the call and looked up to see Peter staring at me from the door. "You like what you see, Parker?"

He went beet red at the words and flubbered around trying to find what to say. "Um, th-there's cereal and leftover pizza on the kitchen table if you're hungry."

"Cool." We walked to the kitchen and I saw Ned already munching on some Fruit Loops. I grabbed a slice of pizza and sat down. "So what're you guys up to today?"

"Oh, my mom wants me home because we have a family dinner tonight. Even though the house is already clean, she'll find something for me to clean at least twice," Ned responded. He looked down at his watch. "I better get going. She'll be wondering where I am."

"I should also get going," I said, dusting off my hands and standing from my chair. "Thanks for having us Peter. It was a lot of fun."

"Yeah! We should do this again sometime!"

I grabbed my box of sets I built and the stack of all eight movies. The train ride wasn't awful, but carrying a shit ton of Lego does make it awkward for those around you.

Looking up at the Stark tower gleaming in the morning sunlight, I wondered how much trouble I'll actually be in. He seemed pretty agitated over the phone, so who knows.
