PLAYING THE PART
A Marauder's Era James Potter x Reader Fanfiction
They were two people playing a game of pretend, until the lines started to blur.
James Potter makes everything look easy. Between his Quidditch captaincy, his restless humor, and his relentless pursuit of a certain redhead, he's the definition of a carefree Gryffindor. But the spotlight can be exhausting, and even the brightest stars need a place to hide. Then there's [Y/N], the girl who spent years mastering the art of being invisible, hiding her own quiet heart behind the polished armor of a Slytherin.
When a sudden, desperate pact throws them into each other's orbit, they strike a deal: pretend to be together, keep the prying eyes of the school at bay, and get out before anyone gets hurt.
It was supposed to be easy. It was supposed to be fake. But when every stolen glance and accidental touch starts to feel like a confession, the performance becomes the only reality they have left.
How do you break a heart when the romance was never even real?
Tropes:
Fake Dating
Enemies to Lovers
Forced Proximity
Hurt/Comfort
Power Couple

A world drenched in the deepest forms of magic that brought life in the richest of varieties. A world hidden from earth and accessed only by those who the world called out to. A world connected to earth through passages between the two worlds. It was said that there had been people from earth to have entered Narnia, however, what was lesser known was that Narnians had found a passage too. In the earliest days of Narnia's existence, a few ancestors of the Narnian witches and wizards had stumbled through a passage to earth and never returned to their own world again. With them, they'd brought their sorcery, connecting the two world's magical energies and spreading its wings until earth too was a source of bountiful magic. Transporting from one world to the other was more dangerous than one might've thought. As the two worlds grew and aged, they diverged further from each other. Not only did one travel between worlds, one travelled through time as time did not align in the two worlds. As beautiful as magic could be, it was also dangerous and powerful. And with everything that could bring power, came someone who could never have enough of it. Conquering a world were the ambitions of some, but others were set to conquer time and change history. . . ❁» 𝙾𝚗𝚐𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚌 𝚞𝚙𝚍𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚜. ❁» 𝙽𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚒𝚊 𝚡 𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚞𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚏𝚊𝚗𝚏𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗. ❁» 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚟𝚎𝚍. ©𝘴𝘵𝘹𝘳-𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘥𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯2024
