y/n y/l/n and james potter loathed each other, there was more hate from james' side than y/n but that's beside the point. their hatred towards each other was common knowledge to everyone in hogwarts. from the students to the professors to even the paintings on walls. it wasn't much of a surprise though, it wasn't unheard of for a Gryffindor and a Slytherin to have bad blood between each other. y/n never really had a problem with james until he pulled a prank on her during their 3rd year. and embarrassed her in front of everyone. he did it for seemingly no reason and we all know what public humiliation can do to a person. y/n vowed to hate james potter for as long as she  would know him.

that was 3 years ago though, a lot can happen or change in that time, but the hatred between y/n and james was still going strong. they still glared at each other in the halls, james would still constantly bother  and borderline harrass her, y/n would still curse him the fuck out for doing so. everything was seemingly business as usual, right? wrong!

at some point during those 3 years, romantic feelings bloomed from that hatred. y/n and james did their best to repress the feelings in hopes of them disappearing, but y/n couldn't help but feel her face and neck heat up when james' eyes lingered on her for too long. and james couldnt help but feel butterflies in his stomach when he saw y/n smile with one of her friends.

it was getting to a point where their feelings for each other were obvious to everyone else but each other and it was getting annoying. sirius, remus and even lily were tired of hearing james go on and on about how much he "hated" y/n and y/n's friends were tired of seeing y/n lie to herself and her friends about her feelings about him. so for the first time in hogwarts history, the gryffindors and slytherins formed an alliance.

an alliance to get y/n and james together. they met up by the great lake to come up with a plan.

"so how are we going to do this? it has to be good or else it won't work." y/bff/n started.

"ok so we can't fool them into doing anything because we all know y/n is too smart for that and james can surprisingly catch on to any kind of scheme, so it needsto be don." remus stated.

it went silent for a while before lily rolled her eyes and spoke up. "are you guys kidding me? they're both super stubborn so we just take their wands, shove them into a broom closet, and leave them in there until they make up and make out."

y/bff/n nodded."that's probably the best idea we're going to get so let's just go with that."

"yeah so tomorrow we bring them up to the broom closet on the 3rd floor after potions. i'll take care of james and y/bff/n you get y/n. lily and remus make sure the 3rd floor is clear. and we'll go check on them before curfew." sirius explained.

everyone in the group nodded and so the plan was set in stone. the next day it would be executed.

~~

the next day right after professor slughorn dismissed the class, lily and remus dashed to the 3rd floor. sirius and y/bff/n pretended that everything was normal. little did james know that sirius had secretly taken his wand and but in his back pocket. and little did y/n now that y/bff/n taken her wand stuck it under her shirt.

they separately led james and y/n to the 3rd floor, practically threw them into that cramped broom closet and locked the door. the two of them banged on the door hoping their friends would let them out but it was useless.

"why did you guys throw me in here?!" y/n yelled through the wooden door. "especially with him!"

"yeah I don't want to be anywhere near this ugly sack of slugs!!" james yelled.

y/n faced james with a slight look of hurt, but quickly masked it with one of anger. before y/n could retaliate, lily spoke up.

"you two are in here to iron out your feelings for each other. we'll be back in an hour or 2 to let you out."

"you 2 better be making out by then." y/bff/n added before the 4 of them left, leaving y/n and james alone together in a cramped broom closet on the 3rd floor.

the first hour went by fast considering y/n and james spent it arguing and fighting over little things. like how james pacing back and forth would burn a hole in to the floor and how y/n was breathing so loudly that the creatures in the Great Lake could hear her.

but after that they both retired to separate corners of the closet, getting as far away from each other as they possibly could in such a cramped space. they sat in a tense silence and neither of them thought it would be a good idea to break it. yet as y/n sat there thinking about all the mean and rude things james had done and said to her, she grew angry. it never made sense why he did all of this and she decided that now was the perfect time to confront james about.

"why do you hate me?" y/n asked.

james blinked at her, not seeming to understand the question. "huh?"

"why do you hate me so much james?"

this was thr first time y/n had said james' name. she usually called him douchebag or asshole and it definitely caught james, but nevertheless he answered her question.

"why do i hate you so much, y/n?! because you're fucking perfect! i hate you and your stupid face and your stupid pretty smile and the way your eyes crinkle when you laugh! and i hate how fucking appealing your voice is and i definitely hate how good you look in that skirt right now! i hate you because i'm in love with you and you don't fucking see it!"

y/n starred blankly at james for a second, her brain was very quickly processing this information. she couldn't believe that the person that supposedly hated her was in love with her, and she couldn't believe that she felt the same way. y/n didn't know what to do, she could either stay silent and hold onto to her last bit of dignity or make out with james potter in a broom closet.

she stood up grabbed james by the collar of his shirt, pulled him down and connect her lips with his in a heated kiss. james quickly wrapped his arms around y/n's waist, pulling her in closer. james backed y/n up against the wall of the broom closet and moved down from y/n's lips to her neck, causing y/n to let out a small exhale.

she reached up to unbutton james' shirt but her hands stopped on his chest when she heard loud knock at the door of the broom closet.

"you two ok in there?" y/n heard sirius ask through the door.

james looked at y/n, she was too flustered to answer.

"do you want to leave?" he whispered. y/n nodded and james backed away from her. he gave her a second to straighten herself out before answering the question.

"yeah we're good!" james called. "just unlock the door, we'll be out in a second."

y/n grabbed their bags off of the floor and handed james his bag. as she moves toward the door, james grabbed her hand and pulled her back a bit.

"hey we still hate each other right?" he asked.

y/n smiled and gave james a quick kiss on the lips.

"absolutely!"

with that y/n and james led the 3rd floor broom closet hand in hand, only to be bombarded with some very inappropriate questions by their friends.
