James Potter And The Art Of Unwanted Persistence▪︎J.S.P.

"I don't care how many times you turn me down, Elle. I'll keep coming back. It's practically a sport at this point."

Elle Halton has made it perfectly clear to James Sirius Potter that she's not interested. From day one, he's been chasing her with that cocky grin and his usual charm, but Elle's not impressed. She's spent years rejecting his advances with a level of sarcasm and eye rolls that would make anyone second guess their efforts. But James doesn't seem to take a hint, and Elle's convinced he's either incredibly stubborn or seriously deluded.

James Sirius Potter is a man on a mission-specifically, a mission to make Elle Halton fall for him. She might shoot him down every time, but he's convinced the problem is that she just doesn't know him well enough. So, he continues to pester her, throw out cheeky comments, and charm his way into her thoughts whether she likes it or not. After all, who wouldn't want to get to know the guy who's always up for a laugh and never backs down from a challenge?

When Elle finds out she's been made a Prefect in her fifth year, she's absolutely dreading the fact that James has somehow wormed his way into the same role. Now, they're stuck together-patrols, meetings, late-night duties-leaving Elle wondering how much longer she can keep pretending James doesn't get under her skin. With each encounter, she starts to realize that maybe, just maybe, the guy who's been driving her crazy for years might be more than just an arrogant nuisance... but she'll never admit it.
