Pairing: James Potter x fem!reader

Update (5th may 2025) I changed the confession scene a bit to make it better. I didn’t like the previous one much. Xx
(Requests open 💌)
Part 1 , Part 2
It had been a month. A month of guilt that settled deep in your stomach. Each tick of the clock echoed his absence. Your insides hurt, stained by choices you couldn't undo. His laughter haunted the quiet. You didn’t want to admit it, but oh how you missed his wit. Guilt sat heavy—unmoving, unforgiving, a shadow you couldn't escape.
You didn’t see James that often anymore ; he no longer lingered in the corridors, waiting for you to come around. He didn’t stalk you in the library anymore, you should have been happy- you could finally study in peace- but you weren’t. It felt so wrong; not being immersed by his presence.
Pushing aside thoughts of James, you made your way to detention with professor Slughorn. You had been skipping potions class, dreading working with James. I mean thats how it all started - Potion’s class. So, you decided to bunk it and just read from the textbook, you knew it wasn’t right but you hated confrontation. Obviously, when Slughorn found out, he gave you detention.
You made your way to the dungeons, the musky smell filling your lungs.
“Look who decided to finally join us, take a seat Ms. Y/L/N.” Slughorn greeted.
“You can work with him and sort the bats spleen and eels eyes.” The professor continued. Thats when you noticed another figure sitting in the class. His messy black hair looked longer than usual. Merlin’s sake, this cannot be happening. The universe is definitely punishing you. You made your way to James and let out a low “Hey.”
He looked up, but didn’t say anything, and just smiled.
Oh come on. Why was he being so modest. You wanted him to yell, to scream or to at least give you an annoyed look. Maybe then you would feel less guilty, but no. James Potter, being the man he was, remained respectful. You both sat in silence for half an hour, before James finally broke the tension.
“So, why did you get detention?” He asked.
“For not attending any classes from the past month…” you answered , hesitantly
“What about you?”
“For skipping classes…” he trailed off.
Brilliant. Both of you had been bunking classes to avoid seeing each other.
“Blimey Y/N, you don’t need to look so guilty.” James said.
“It’s my fault, I’m the one who should be feeling that way, not you. After all, it was me who initiated the whole thing. I’m sorry for pushing something you didn’t want.” He continued, sounding too mature for his own good.
“Something I didn’t want!?” You exclaimed, exaggerating the ‘i’.
“Yea, you made that extremely clear that night on the staircase.” He defended.
“I never said I didn’t want this. I never said I didn’t want you…” your voice trailed off.
“You do realise how bloody overwhelming you are, right? Especially your friends, don’t even get me started about them.” You said, letting out a bitter laugh.
“Well this isn’t about them, it’s about us.” His voice raised a little too loud.
“If you really thought about ‘us’ ,then you would have done something when Sirius was firing missiles at me the whole fucking night.” You defended.
“Everything all right?” Professor Slughorn asked, intercepting. You had forgotten he was even there.
“Everything is fine professor. I was just leaving.” You spat, storming out of the room.
James had the audacity to think that you didn’t want him? After you spent years and years trying to deny any ounce of attraction you felt towards him, he had the nerve to say you didn’t want him? Oh how you wanted to strangle him right then and there.
It’s fine. This is for the best. You were never meant for someone as flamboyant as James. You knew better than to get sucked into his world. The following night sleep treated you as a stranger. You sat awake, thoughts of James Fleamont Potter stirring in your head.
Sleep deprived and in desperate need of caffeine, you made your way to the great hall for breakfast, half dressed with messy hair and morning breath. It was a bright Sunday morning, most people slept in, so you thought you were safe. But, boy were you wrong. James sat at the Gryffindor table, standing up hastily as soon as you walked in. Before you could turn around and leave, he pulled out his want and cast a spell that locked the doors of the hall. You looked around the room, noticing very few students, so at least your embarrassment was reduced to half.
“What are you doing, James?” You whispered- shouted.
He didn’t respond. He simply looked at you, smiled, and stood up on the fucking dining table. All his friends were gaping at him, especially Sirius.
“Are you feeling all right in the head today , mate?” Sirius asked.
“Oh shut it, Black.” James commanded.
“Y/n… You know, for someone who’s always been told he’s brave… I’ve never been more terrified than I am right now.” He chucked, everyone was staring at him, but he wasn’t taking his gaze off of you.
“I messed up. I shouldn’t have just sat there that night when Sirius ran his mouth. That was fucking pathetic mate, targeting her like that.” He continued, earning a puzzled look from Sirius.
You couldn’t believe it. Was James Potter really standing up to Sirius Black… for you?
“You walked away and I don’t blame you. I knew what I was doing, but I didn’t know it was wrong. I’m sorry for overwhelming you. And I’m so fucking sorry for wasting a whole month avoiding you, when we could have spent it together.” He reached into his robes, pulling out a bouquet of enchanted flowers.
“Accept my apology, love?”
Your heart was racing, your head was spinning and you knew you couldn’t be trusted with any major decisions right now…. But you didn’t care.
You walked closer to him. He stepped off the table as he handed you the flowers. He knew you hated causing a scene. He knew you didn’t like being seen. He knew what he was doing, he was giving you a Gold Rush, and he was enjoying it so much.
You placed a hand on his cheek, not caring who was looking, and kissed him like there was no tomorrow. James wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you closer, completely engulfing you into the moment.
Cheers and whistles erupted from excited students who got to witness a scene this early in the morning. You pulled away from him, to look him in the eye.
“I hate you, James Potter.” You blushed.
“You know you love me, Y/N Y/L/N.” He smirked, still holding onto you.
“Get a room!” Someone , probably Sirius, shouted .
“Oh, we definitely will.” James teased, making you red.
In that moment, you didn’t care who was looking, you didn’t care that everyone else wanted James potter, because you were the one he wanted.
——————————Bonus —————————
“Y/N! Wait up!” A voice called, as you were walking to class.
It was Sirius Black. Ugh, what did he want?
“Listen…. I’m sorry about being so… for being such a prat. I gave you a really hard time for no reason, well I had my reasons. You see, James is the closest thing I have to family that I actually love, so naturally I tend to be very protective of him. I thought you weren’t right for him…. Your just …. Quite different from us. Can I put it like that? But, seeing how happy you make our Jamie, I realised I owed you an apology. Oh and also, James threatened my life if I didn’t set things right with you. Anyways, catch you later, I’ve got class. Bye!” Sirius walked away, after unloading all of that on you and not even giving you a chance to reply.
Oh how you loved your boyfriend- James Potter.

Pairing: James Potter x fem!reader
Summary: You and James have been friends since first year. You both would spend majority of your time together due to quidditch practice. Somewhere along the way, you started to develop feelings for him. You would never assume he felt the same way towards you, even though he flirted with you mindlessly and came up with clever excuses to be around you, you never assumed he would like you any other way than as a friend. All that changes one night, when James finds your diary.
Warnings: Fluff and Kissing.
Author’s note: Hey lovelies, this was originally supposed to be a smutty fanfic but I decided to write the clean version first. If this does well, I’ll write the ‘spicy’ version 🤭. Comment if you want the other version and to be added to the tag list💌Happy reading <3
The Gryffindor common room was buzzing with energy after a Quidditch match victory. James Potter, sweaty and exhilarated, looked more beautiful than usual. You watched him slip away from the crowd to grab a Butterbeer, joining you at the snack table.
“That was a nice save towards the end, Potter. I thought you were going to fall off your broom for a second.” You said.
“Fall off? Please, I had it completely under control. The dramatic dive was for effect. You know, to impress certain players” He smirked.
“Oh? And did it work?” You laughed.
“Depends… were you impressed?” He said, leaning in closer to you. A shiver ran down your spine, this is how James was. Friendly flirting until the other person was completely flustered. You should have gotten used to it by now, but you didn’t. You were anything but used to it.
“Maybe a little. But I was mostly impressed you didn’t hit your head again. That’d be, what, the third time this term?” You said, brushing him off.
“Ouch.” He groaned, dramatically clutching his chest.
The celebration continued till 1 am that night, at some point, you, James, Sirius, Marlene and Mary ended up in Sirius and James’ dorm.
“Right, it’s getting late. Me and Mary are gonna head back to our dorm, coming y/n?” Marlene asked.
“Yea. James, is it alright if I leave my bag here? I promise to take it first thing tomorrow.” You said, little did you know that was going to change your entire relationship with James Potter.
The next morning, you woke up with a horrible migraine. Still, holding up your promise, you made your way to James’ dorm, half asleep, to collect your things.
“James?” You called, before entering the room.
“Come in.” He said from inside.
His hair was messier than usual, his face a mix of surprise and sleep. He was sitting on a chair with his legs on the bed, holding up a diary, grinning like he had just found gold.
Oh for Merlin’s sake. Your diary. How could you be so stupid? You had totally forgotten your diary was in your bag, but you didn’t expect him to go through your things.
“What the hell, James?” You said, anger edging in your voice.
You marched over to him, trying to snatch the diary away, but he pulled it out of your reach.
“James Fleamont Potter, you give that back right now!” You screamed.
James laughed, “Relax, I only read… like, two sentences. Three tops. One might’ve mentioned someone with ‘wild hair and a hopeless ego.’ Ring any bells?” He said coyly.
A red blush crept up your face and made its way to your neck.
“You. Are. Utterly. Unbelievable.” You spat.
“Oh, come on, it’s kind of flattering. You wrote about me! That’s practically a love letter in diary terms.” He joked.
“It is not! Now give it back!” You demanded.
“Nuh uh” he teased, childishly.
“I also called you ‘a walking disaster in Quidditch robes.’ Did you read that part?” You asked, annoyed.
“I knew you noticed my robes! You do like me.” James said, gasping dramatically.
“James” you groaned, getting more and more embarrassed now.
“Hey—don’t be embarrassed. If I had a diary, you’d be in it. Probably underlined. With little stars and everything.” He joked, stepping closer.
He handed you your diary back, his fingers brushing yours just a second longer than they needed to.
“I didn’t read anything else, promise.” He said.
“Thanks…” you whispered.
There was a pause, neither of you moved. The room was quiet, except for the crackle of the fireplace. You could hear James’ heartbeat, his breath and you could feel his closeness.
“You know…. I was half- hoping it was about me, when I found it.” His voice was quieter, as he took a small step closer.
Your eyes searched his, looking for truth.
“Why?” You asked.
“Because I’ve been walking around pretending not to feel what I feel. And it’s exhausting, honestly. I’m James Potter—I’m not built for subtle.” He answered.
“That is definitely true.” You said, smiling and rolling your eyes.
“So if you’re pretending too… I don’t know. Maybe we can stop. Just for a minute.” He pleaded, taking your palms in his.
He was so close now. Close enough for you to see the freckles under his eyes, close enough for you to feel his breath on your cheeks, close enough for you to smell his scent.
His voice dropped lower, barely a breath.
“Is it so terrible? Liking me?”
“No. It’s terrifying.” You admitted.
James’ hand slips up to your cheek, his thumb brushing your jaw, you lean into him instinctively. He closed the space between the two of you, placing a warm kiss on your lips. It was soft, but a little hesitant at first, like the both of you were trying to memorise this feeling. His lips move against yours gently, like a question being answered with every second you didn’t pull away.
You break apart, just barely, your foreheads rest together, and he’s smiling like he’s completely undone.
“Took you long enough.” You smiled, breathless.
“Oi—I was being respectful. Chivalrous. Noble Gryffindor and all that.” He countered.
“You read my diary, James.” You defended.
“And I’d do it again if it brought me here.” He grinned, wrapping his arms around you.

Pairing: Fem!Reader x Fred weasly
Warnings: Fluff, Suggestive and Use of y/n
Summary: Y/n falls off her broom after a quidditch match and sustains a serious spine injury. She is supposed to be in bed rest at madam pomfery’s , but her bf ,Fred misses her a little to much.
Black clouded your peripheral vision, the world seemed to be spinning and you couldn’t make sense of the figures before you. Soon everything came into focus, a group of people circled around the bed you were lying on; the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Where were you? What happened? Why was everyone looking down at you?
“I think she is waking up,” a girl’s voice announced.
Then it all came crashing back to you... You fell off your broom during the Quidditch match! You were trying to hit the Bludger away from Harry just as he was about to catch the Golden Snitch, but it hit you in the head and you fell, toppling down 20 feet.
“Did we win?” You managed to croak, your voice barely a whisper.
“A determined lad she is, even on her death bed,” George said.
“And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. How are you feeling, Y/N?” Hermione asked, smiling at you.
“Never been better,” you joked.
“Yes. I caught the Snitch. All thanks to you. But please be more careful next time, Y/N. Nearly gave me a stroke when you fell,” Harry said, answering your question.
You smiled wearily.
Everyone was here, but the one person you wanted was nowhere to be seen.
“Uh- Where’s Fred?” you questioned.
“Right here, love.” A red-eyed Fred appeared.
“Aww baby, have you been crying?” you asked, teasing him.
Fred walked up to the bed and pressed a gentle kiss on your forehead.
“We’ll take that as a cue to leave then. Take care, mate,” Ron announced.
After everyone left, tears escaped from Fred’s eyes.
“Freddie… I’m fine. Don’t cry, love,” you said as you brushed his cheek with your fingers.
“Don’t ever scare me like that again, okay?”
“Okay.” You gave him a weak smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“THREE WEEKS!” Fred shouted at George.
“Three bloody weeks Y/N’s been on bedrest! I can’t take it anymore, good god help me!” he cried.
“What’s with all the yelling?” you asked as the Weasley twins approached you.
“This big guy here is having a hard time keeping his little guy under control, since you’ve been on bedrest.” George smirked.
You couldn’t help but turn red after George’s comment.
“Oh bugger off, George,” Fred scolded.
After George left, Fred cozied up on the hospital bed with you.
“I miss you so much, Y/N.”
“I miss you more.”
“You know… there are things we can do that don’t require much… action. I won’t even need to get out of bed,” you suggested.
“Don’t tempt me, love. What if someone walks in on us?” he asked.
“So let them…” you smirked.

James Potter x fem!reader
You had a one stand with your long term rival, James potter, before Christmas break. Now back at Hogwarts, James becomes more annoying than usual ; cock blocking you from seeing any other guy besides him.
“𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒊𝒏’𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆, 𝑰 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒘𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆”
Angst and a very jealous James Potter
(Happy ending)
Author’s note: Hey everyone! This is the clean version of the fanfic/ story. Here is the explicit version.🤭.
Happy reading <3!
The snow covered windows blocked any trace of sunlight from entering the dimly lit Potions class room. The smell of powdered sage and fresh wormwood wafted in the air , creating a perfect ambiance for potion brewing. Students were filled with more energy than usual ; having just returned from Christmas break.
You take a seat at the very front of the classroom, excited for professor Slughorn to start the lesson. All the excitement drains from your face when an all too familiar figure plops down on the seat next to you. His messy black hair covered his forehead, making his Hazel eyes appear brighter and larger.
“Psyched to be back, are we?” James Potter said, flashing you that famous grin of his.
You were dreading this moment since last night; having to see James again after what went down before break. How was he acting so normal?
“What do you want, James?” You asked, annoyed, refusing to make eye contact with him.
“It’s lovely to see you too, y/n. My holiday was great, thanks for asking. How was yours?” He said cheekily.
“Piss off , Potter.” You mumbled.
The conversation was cut short, thankfully, after Slughorn entered the classroom.
You didn’t understand why James was being so nice. He was never exactly unpleasant towards you, but you and James were rivals in all the things that mattered. Whether it was Quidditch or the Grades you got, you both always had to be better than the other in everything you did. This lead to the exchange of snarky remarks now and then , James teasing you whenever he had the chance. Sometimes, he would take it as far as publicly humiliating you in-front of the whole class by playing ‘practical jokes’ on you. That’s why you hated thinking about what happened before Christmas break.
It was way past curfew, and the library was empty , except for an exhausted James Potter , sitting at the table across yours. You made the awful mistake of joining him for a cup of coffee. One thing lead to another, and the next morning you found yourself tangled in the sheets of the arrogant gryffindor boy. However, you thought that was the end of it, neither of you would acknowledge what happened and go back to usual. But, James clearly had other plans.
A month had passed and you noticed the fact that James had gone back to normal. Back to being your annoying rival. Nothing else. You didn’t understand why it bothered you so much. This is what you wanted.
One morning, during breakfast, you received a box of sweets from honeydukes and a bouquet of enchanted flowers that turned into butterflies at your touch.
“Who are they from!” Lily said, jumping with excitement by your side.
“I don’t know… there’s no note.” You said as you blushed uncontrollably.
“Someone’s got herself a secret admirer! I personally think they’re from that Ravenclaw boy, Marcus, she’s been talking to.” Marlene shouted, too loudly for your liking.
At this comment, James’ head jolted up, his eyes meeting yours and his expression almost… hurt.
That evening after dinner, you made your way back to your dorm, when you were greeted by a distressed Marcus. His face was badly beaten, a large bleeding gash was across his forehead and he had an enormous black eye.
“Oh Merlin! Marcus what happened!!??” You yelled.
“Y/n… just to be clear, I did NOT send you any gifts this morning. I think it’s best if we stayed away from each other.” Marcus said, as he practically ran away from you.
“Wait! Marcus! Atleast tell me who did this to you!” You shouted after him, but he was already 10 feet away.
The day after, in charms, a kind boy from Hufflepuff was teaching you the right way to hold your wand while performing a certain spell.
“So you want to hold it at an angle of 45 degrees, whilst making a ‘S’ motion with your arm.” He explained, guiding your hands with his. You couldn’t help but smirk, because obviously he was flirting with you. From the side of your eye, you caught a very irritated… almost jealous looking James, staring daggers at the Hufflepuff boy.
About an hour later, you went to Madam Pomfery to get some ointment for your finger; you nicked it during potions, when you found that kind boy who had just helped you in charms, lying on a bed. His face was swollen ten times the normal size, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
“Madam Pomfery! What happened to him?” You asked, worried.
“Nasty Hex. He claims one of the Gryffindor boys did it.” She explained.
Weeks went by, but you noticed something extremely unusual. Every single guy from your year was avoiding you. Even the ones you thought were your friends. Something wasn’t right.
“Lily! Wait up!” You called after the red headed girl as she walked to class.
“Hey y/n! How you holding up?” She asked, a pitiful expression plastered across her face.
“How am I holding up? What do you mean?” You sounded almost offended.
“Oh sorry… I thought you noticed by now-“
She countered.
“Noticed what? Noticed the fact that every single boy is avoiding me. Yea. I have bloody noticed that. Do you happen to know why the hell that is? “ I questioned.
“Oh… erm. I really shouldn’t get involved but, James has been beating up and threatening every guy who speaks to you.”
She told.
“You can’t be serious.” You hissed through your teeth.
“I’m sorry, love. I thought you already knew. I’ve got to get to class…. I’ll catch you later!” Lily said, as she walked away.
You were furious. Where ever James Potter was, he better watch out, because you were going to END him. You burst into an empty class room to make sense of everything, and thats when you saw him. James was sitting on a desk, with a few books spread open in front of him.
“INCENDIO” you pointed your wand at his books, setting them on fire.
“What in Merlins name are you doing!?” James shouted, as he jumped up and away from the flames.
“Who the bloody hell do you think you are, potter? You pathetic excuse of a man. Beating up guys who talk to me? It was a one night thing. Get over it. You are NOT my boyfriend.” You said, practically up in his face, with your wand poking at his chest.
“How oblivious are you? It may have been a casual thing for you, but it was not bloody casual for me!” He spat back.
“I sent you flowers y/n…. And you thought they were from someone else… I ache every second that I am not with you. I burn for you y/n…”He whispered, lowering your wand and getting closer.
Whatever gap there was between your faces was closed by James smashing his lips into yours. You gave in. You finally just gave in, and kissed him back.
Why did you have to resist for so long? This is what you wanted. This was secretly what you wanted all along. Now you were regretting everything you just said to him.
Pulling away from the kiss, a soft “I’m so sorry…” escaped your lips.
“I know, love.” James said, as he tucked your hair behind your ear.
“Next time Potter, be better at expressing your feelings.” You joked.
Wrapped in the arms of the boy you tried so hard to hate all these years, you couldn’t love him more.

When we said ‘James’, this was not the James we meant. 💀
(Not complaining tho xx)
Fuck drugs. Have you ever been addicted to reading angsty fanfics about Harry Potter's dead parents and their friends? That shit will kill you.
->I’m comfortable with writing most of the tropes, so feel free to request anything <3.
-> However, I don’t write heavy angst with extremely sensitive topics. (I do like writing light angst tho.)
-> I will never write a cheating/ leaving significant other for the reader trope, sorry.
-> I DO write mature themes ($mut)😋
-> I may take around 2-7 days to respond to a request, especially if it’s a long one, but stay tuned because it will be worth it 😙.
-> Currently only writing for the Harry Potter / Marauders fandom
With love,

Pairing : Remus Lupin x Reader
Summary : The stress of your final year at Hogwarts was getting to you, with NEWTs coming closer, you were an absolute mess. You were avoiding everyone, especially him.
“Meet me at our spot?” Remus asked one afternoon, obviously you couldn’t say no. The stress of exams lead you to confess something you never thought you would.
Warnings: Fluff and Mild language.
Author’s note: Hey cuties, this story/fic has no specific gender for the reader , so I’m just gonna tag it ‘x reader’. I wrote this as a way to cope with my own exam stress 😔( instead of studying ofc). Happy reading xx.
“The essay on ‘The Draught Of The Living Death’ is due this week, remember -16 inches of parchment! Class dismissed.” Professor Slughorn’s announcement met with disappointed sighs from the students. Great, you thought to yourself. One more bloody thing to add to your to do list. You ran your fingers through your hair, coating them in grease. Oh god. How long had it been since you washed your hair? You didn’t even look in the mirror anymore, infact you were pretty sure you weren’t even wearing the whole uniform. They weren’t joking about NEWTs (nastily exhausting wizarding test) , it earned its name. But it’s fine, studying is good. Studying is better than thinking about him. You forced yourself off the desk and tried not to collapse on the floor due to exhaustion.
“You look like hell.” Remus said, placing a hand on your shoulder.
“Gee thanks, Moony. Always knew how to make a girl feel good about herself.” You replied, sarcastically.
You and Remus made your way to the great hall for lunch, and joined the rest of your friend group.
“Merlin…. What happened to you, y/n?” Sirius asked.
“What is it with everyone today?! Am I the only one who’s not able to keep up with all the work the professors are throwing our way?!” You snapped.
“Well, we do have our NEWTs this year-“
James said, getting cut off by Lily.
“Oh leave her alone! I’m just as exhausted as you, y/n. Honestly , I’m hanging on by a thread.”
The lot of you finished your lunch in silence, exam season was really getting to everyone.
You made your way to the library, not lifting your gaze from the book in your hand, when you bumped into a tall figure.
“Bloody hell, you’re really loosing it, aren’t you?” Remus joked.
“Yea. How aren’t you?” You asked, but you already knew the answer. Remus Lupin ,the smartest student in your year. He never got anything less than an ‘O’ in all his exams, yet he always remained calm and collected. You wanted to ask him how he did it, but you didn’t want to sound like you were praising him or anything. Ew. You guys didn’t do all that sappy bullshit.
“Eh, you know me.” He said, casually.
“I’m worried about you, love. You seem so stressed. Meet me at our spot? After classes? It’s been a while since we’ve had one our ‘chats’. “ He said, giving you that warm Remus Lupin smile that always made you melt. Ugh. Get your shit together, y/n.
“Um. Yea. Okay. I’ll see you there.” You smiled and walked away.
After an unbearably long time, classes had finally finished for the day. You remembered your promise to Remus, dropped your things off in your dorm, and made your way to the Whomping Willow. It had been ‘your spot’ since third year, when you found out about Moony’s furry little problem. You saw Madam Pomfery guiding him to that eldritch tree one night, curiosity took over and you decided to investigate. Remus wasn’t thrilled when you confronted him, but he grew fond of talking to you about things he couldn’t talk to others, not even the marauders. They knew about him being a werewolf, but they didn’t understand or listen to him like you did. So, atleast once a week, you and Remus found yourselves sitting under the Whomping Willow and emptying out the greatest sorrows of your hearts. You laughed and laughed for hours, till neither of you even understood why you were sad in the first place. Remus had this effect on you, he made you feel seen. Not that no one else saw you, but seen in a way no one else had before. Seen and heard. You didn’t want to admit it, but Merlin…. The things you would do for Moony.
The weather was pleasant in an odd way. It wasn’t too sunny nor was it gloomy, it was a perfect mix of clouds and slight wind.
“Y/n!” Remus waved at you, as he laid down under the tree. There was a knot in the tree he would press with the help of his wand, to stop it from crushing you both to your deaths.
“Hiya, Moony.” You laid down right next to him, turning to his side to face him.
“Not handling the NEWTs stress very well then?” He asked.
“What does it look like?” You said, gesturing to your pathetic state.
Remus reached into his pocket and offered you some chocolate. You couldn’t refuse. This was one of the things you loved about him so much, no matter when no matter where, your moony always had chocolate with him. He even smelt like it at this point.
“I miss you.” Remus whispered.
“I’m right here.” You smiled, a tinge of guilt settling in your stomach. You had been avoiding Remus. You loved him so much, he was your person, but you started to develop new feelings- feelings you didn’t recognise- towards him, so you being you, decided to distance yourself from him. He was your best friend, he was moony for Merlin’s sake. Whatever stupid new feelings you had were best kept suppressed.
“No you’re not. I get it, y/n. NEWTs are stressful, but you cannot keep pushing me away like that. You’re my best friend.” Remus complained, tucking a strand of your stray hair behind your ear.
Friend. That word friend made something inside of you hurt. It was strange, you never thought being called ‘best friend’ by Moony would make you feel any shade of sadness, but thats what it was doing.
“Well, that’s the problem, isn’t it?” You blurted out. You didn’t care if he knew now, it was paining you too much to keep it all in.
An addled look spread across Remus’ face.
He took you by your wrist and rolled you towards him, pulling you into a tight embrace. You both started to laugh uncontrollably.
“Oi! Loony Lupin! Let me gooo!” You protested, squirming against his grip. You didn’t want to admit it, but you felt so safe in his arms. Nothing could go wrong right now, not when Moony was holding you.
“Never! Not until you tell me what that meant.” He chucked into your shoulder.
You stopped laughing and looked him dead in the eye. Can’t you tell? Look me in the eye, Remus. Can’t you tell that I’m in love with you? You thought to yourself, but obviously, you couldn’t say that.
Suddenly, you noticed how close the two of you actually were. His hands were around your waist, both your faces inches away, you could feel his warm breath against your cheeks.
You jerked upright, escaping his grip, and stood up.
“Right, erm… I’m gonna go-“ You mumbled.
“Y/n! Stop! Why are you being like this?” He shouted after you.
“Why am I being like this? How thick can you be!!?? Honestly Remus, for someone so smart, you really are dumb.” You spat, not caring what he thought.
“What are you talking about, y/n?” He stopped you from walking, standing too close to you for your liking.
“I’m bloody in love with you, you fool.” You managed, your voice barely a whisper.
Well, thats the end of your friendship with Remus Lupin. He was probably gonna laugh in your face now, with the rest of the marauders of course. But wait, he wasn’t laughing- his eyebrows creased as a delicate smile spread across his face.
“Oh love, why didn’t you just say so?” He closed the distance between the two of you by pulling you into a deep kiss. You kissed back, maybe too eagerly, but you didn’t care. You had waited for this for so long, your insides felt like a rollercoaster, as he wrapped an arm around your waist.
You pulled away and looked at his face, he was completely undone.
“Maybe instead of avoiding me and drowning yourself in school work, if you had told me how you felt, you would’ve found out that I felt the same way.” Remus said, kissing your forehead.
You smiled. Remus and you, under the Whomping Willow- your spot. Everything was okay now, you felt normal again, after so long.

George Weasley x fem!Reader
You and George have been dating since your 4th year at Hogwarts. Now, both of you are adults, and an inside joke turns into an unforgettable proposal.
The grey clouds covered the sun’s rays, casting subtle shadows on the ground beneath. The smell of rain lingered in the air, mixing with the numerous floral scents from the flower bushes. It was a perfect day. A tall red headed man lay in front of you on a gingham blanket. George Weasley, your boyfriend of eight years, had planned a surprise picnic for you. Sweets from honey dukes, bottles of butter beer and freshly prepared food was spread out on the blanket.
“Life doesn’t get any better than this” You said, running your fingers through George’s hair.
“Oh yea? You think so?” George asked, a small grin forming on his face.
“George Weasley, knock that grin off your face right now. “ That grin meant he was upto something, which was never good news.
George sat up straight and pulled out something from his pocket. It was a paper ring. A small smile spread across your face.
“What is the meaning of this?” You laughed as you took the ring in your hand.
“Don’t you remember?”
Of course you remembered.
It was your 5th year at Hogwarts, as the 1 year anniversary of George’s and yours relationship was coming nearer , you couldn’t help rave about a necklace you wanted. You thought if you spoke about it enough George would buy it for you as an anniversary present.
“It has these beautiful stones imbedded into the chain. It’s all the craze right now. I think Malfoy got one for his girlfriend last week.” You told George, as you both were walking to potions class.
“Oh- erm. Yea that sounds nice. You know… I’ll catch you later y/n.” George said, not even making eye contact with you, as he walked away.
“Hey! Wait! Where are you going we have potions together-“ you called after him.
It was the day of your anniversary, but there was no sight of George anywhere. As sad as you were , you couldn’t help worry. Where was he? This was extremely out of character for him. You thought to yourself.
The day had passed and it was almost dinner time , still no sign of George.
You were waking down the corridors when you heard someone crying. It was coming from the empty Defence Against the Dark Arts class room. Curious, you peaked your head through the slightly ajar door.
It was George. His ginger hair was a ruffled mess. His eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he had been crying all day.
“George! Where have you been! Whats wrong? Why are you crying?” You questioned as you rushed to his side, plopping down on the floor next to him.
“I’m so sorry y/n. I’m so so sorry. You deserve better than me. You deserve someone who can buy you that necklace, someone who can afford to give you all the nice things in the world. I’m so bloody sorry. You deserve so much better.” He said between sobs.
A wave of guilt came crashing onto you. How could you be so stupid? You should have known better. Such a beautiful necklace could not have been cheap. You felt terrible for making George feel this way.
“You fool… is this why you’ve been avoiding me all day?” You asked.
George nodded , not daring to look you in the eyes.
“George. Listen to me. No amount of necklaces , jewellery or riches means more to me than you. I’ll admit, I do like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings.
You’re the one I want.” You said as you caressed his cheeks with your fingers.
Since that day, it had become an inside joke between the two of you. Every time you fought or had a disagreement, one of you would ‘call paper rings’. That was enough to end whatever quarrel you were in. And sometimes during classes, George would make rings out of spare parchment and pass them to you, making you blush uncontrollably. You knew since then, that George Weasley was the man you were going to marry.
“Y/n? You remember, don’t you?” George said, snapping you out of your reverie.
“Yes, obviously.“ you smiled. You inspected the ring in your hand a little closer. It felt oddly heavy for something made out of paper. You shook it against your ear, there was something inside.
“Open it.” He smiled.
Without hesitation, You tore the ring open, revealing a shiny gold ring with a large diamond on it.
“George…” Your head was spinning, was this real? Unable to form words , you just stared at the man in front of you.
“Y/n… will you marry me?” George asked, pulling you up to your feet.
“I- I like shiny things, but i’d marry you with paper rings…” you replied, beaming with joy.
“You’re the one I want.” George said, finishing your sentence.
He placed the very-expensive-looking-ring on your finger, and pulled you in for a kiss.
As if it were magic, flowers started pouring down from the tree you both stood underneath. It was magic, from the day you laid eyes on George Weasley, you knew it was magic.

Pairing: James Potter x fem!reader
Summary: James Potter was charming, mischievous, captain of the quidditch team and very popular among the girls at Hogwarts. He had a certain talent for making his presence aware , a charisma that was unmatchable. You didn’t have many friends, no matter how hard you tried, people never seemed to acknowledge you. To put it quite plainly, you were the polar opposite of James. You spent years trying to push out and ignore any romantic feelings you had for him, because come on… there is no way he even knows you exist…. Right?
Warnings: Mild swearing and kissing/ making out.

The lively chatter of students filled the corridors. Golden light shone on the cold, aged walls. The air was heavy with the scent of old books, dust and a hint of magic. You made your way towards the dungeons, just in time for Potions class. You were fairly late; your usual spot was taken by another student. You scanned the classroom, looking for a vacant seat. Unfortunately, there was only one, at the very front of the class.
You settled in the empty seat, when you noticed the boy sitting next to you. His messy black hair was overgrown, and ruffled in a way that looked purposeful. His hazel eyes appeared large beneath his round glasses. James Potter was unreasonably attractive, that wasn’t a secret. You spent your first few years at Hogwarts trying to deny it, but it was of no use. You tried telling yourself his good looks didn’t make up for his arrogant and vexatious personality. He was insufferable.
You hated the way he paraded around the school, hands casually tucked in his pockets, increasing his voice by a few extra decibels whenever a pretty girl walked by. You hated the way he effortlessly drew attention to himself as soon as he walked into a room. And what you hated the most, was when he would catch your gaze lingering on him for a little too long.
“Good morning students. I will be assigning you your partners from now onwards. You will stick to these arrangements for the rest of the academic year.” Professor Slughorn announced, earning disappointed groans from the whole class.
“I have learned my lesson after the ‘incidents’ young Mr. Potter and Mr.Black have caused.” He continued, causing wide grins to spread across James and Sirius’ faces.
Slughorn spent most of the lesson reading out the pairs he had made. You were growing impatient, he hadn’t called out your name yet, maybe this was the perfect opportunity to finally make a new friend… and you know, make it last this time.
“Mr.Potter and Ms. Y/L/N” The professor called out.
You have got to be kidding me, you thought to yourself, a horrified look plastered across your face.
“Why that face, love? I don’t bite” James said turning towards you, then to Sirius and letting out a laugh.
You rolled your eyes and left class, saved by the bell.
The next day, you decided to spend your free time in the library and catch up on some homework. Immersed in your work, you almost didn’t notice the figure walking towards you.
“Feeling studious, are we?” James asked, placing his hands on the table and leaning forward.
“I was, until you came along.” You mumbled, mostly to yourself, as you stared packing your things up.
“Wait, where are you going?” James asked.
“I’m sorry, is there something in particular you want from me?” You snapped.
“You’re my new potions partner aren’t you? I thought we could study for the upcoming test together.” He said cooly.
“Right… well, I’m y/n.” You said, extending your hand.
“You’re kidding right?” James asked, with an almost offended expression.
“Why would I be kidding about my name?” You raised an eyebrow.
“Bloody hell… I know who you are y/n!” James exclaimed. “Third year, Defence against the dark arts, fourth year transfiguration and history of magic and fifth year, divination and astronomy. Those are all the classes we had together, do you not remember?” James continued.
“Oh- um… yea, I guess.” You said, dumbfounded. You remembered. You obviously remembered. How could you forget? But the real question was, how in Merlin’s Name did James freaking Potter know who you were? Did you hit your head and fall into an alternate reality, where you were one of the bimbos he noticed?
It had been a week since that unforeseen encounter with James. He would wink at you during meals or purposefully walk too close to you in the corridors, just enough for your shoulders to brush. He would pretend like he didn’t notice you, but you could feel his stare penetrate when you weren’t looking.
The following night, you woke up in a cold sweat. Your stomach was churning with nausea; it must have been the puking pasties a girl named Marlene gave you.
You were in desperate need of fresh air. Careful not to wake your dorm mates, you slipped out of bed, not caring that you’re in your pyjamas and decided to take a stroll around the castle. You had to be really cautious to not get caught, you didn’t want your house to loose points. You made your way to the dungeons, as it had a lovely view of the black lake.
“Light them up before Filch comes!” A voice whispered.
“What if the Slytherins wake up!” A shrill voice filled with fear added.
“Leave if you must , Pete! But do not ruin this for the rest of us.” You could recognise that voice anywhere.
You peaked your head from the corner of a wall, spotting James and his group of friends, ‘the marauders’, they called themselves. How cheesy. They were in-front of the Slytherin common room, with what seemed to be dung bombs and fire crackers in their hands.
‘Bloody hell. They’re mental.’ You thought to yourself.
“Shit! Run!” One of the voices shouted.
The crackers exploded, creating loud sounds and a strong pungent smell. From a distance, you could see Filch running towards the mess. Suddenly, you felt someone grab you from behind. Before you could shout, their hand covered your mouth. You turned your head to see James signalling you to be quiet. He pulled you into a hidden corner as Filch scoured the surroundings, looking for the culprits behind the mess.
He released his hand from your mouth.
“What the hell! What are you guys doing! Have you absolutely lost your minds??!!” You whisper shouted.
“Y/N Y/L/N, are you following me?To answer your question, no our minds are very much intact. Just a bit of sweet revenge on the Slytherins. Nothing special.” James smirked.
You noticed just how close the both of you were standing. You could feel his warm breath on your cheeks. You could see the soft curve of his lips and the slight flush in his cheeks. You could hear his heart racing.
He lifted his arm, gently brushing a strand of stray hair away from your face.
Whatever gap was there between the two of you, was closed by James. His lips crashed into yours with an intensity that set your skin on fire. His hands found their way to your waist, pulling you closer, as if he couldn’t get enough of you. You didn’t hesitate to kiss him back. All the years of pent up emotions you felt for James came rushing. He pulled away from the kiss to catch his breath, the overwhelming force left you reeling.
“Prongs! Prongs, where are you?” A voice hissed.
“Shit.” James said, through clenched teeth.
“Prongs?” You asked, smirking and raising an eyebrow.
“It’s Sirius. I’ve got to go. Will you be able to go back to your dorm on your own?” James questioned.
You nodded.
“Catch you later, y/n” He said, flashing you that famous James Potter smile.
That alone was enough to make your heart melt.
