Ron “you know how to ball” Weasley.
Hermione “I know Aristotle” Granger.
so I wanted to make a little thingy
It probably started when someone was flirting with Barty and he wanted to get away and went: “shit I got to.. go see” *tries to think of something, mind goes to James* “my boyfriend!” (??). Then he keeps it going for shits and giggles, and then he panics when ppl ask him about it cause he doesn’t know why he thought of James out of everyone
———————————
A Ravenclaw: *flirting with Barty* so crouch.. I heard a little rumour that you fancy people with brains..
Barty: [who would rather be anywhere but there]
Barry: uhhh.. yeah I do, did you know Gryffindors are quite smart too? Like uhhh.. James Potter, for example, like his my boyfriend yk? and all-
Ravenclaw: ..what?
Ravenclaw: Oh. That’s cool I just thought- ykw nvm.
Barty: yeah you didn’t know that? We’re dating
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Hufflepuff: so Barty..
Hufflepuff: [flutters eyelashes, smirks and puts hand on Barry’s thigh]
Hufflepuff: what do you do even Quidditch is on? Do you go back to your dorm.. because I could tag along..
Barty: no, I don’t. I actually uh, I normally go hang out with my.. boyfriend, James Potter. Yk the one who your team lost to? The captain and prefect? The one-
Hufflepuff: .. I’ll go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Doesn’t even make sense cause James would either be playing or watching all the games, but Barty wasn’t thinking)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marlene: Barty!
Barty: what?
Marlene: what is it I’m hearing ‘bout you and Jamie?
Barty: ..
Barty: uhh, where’d you hear that?
Marlene: I was near some Hufflepuffs and heard a mention of it
Barty: why you snooping near Hufflepuffs?
Marlene: don’t change the subject. What’s the deal?
Barty: I needed an excuse to get away from ppl so yk.. I used him as an excuse
Marlene: why James tho? Wouldn’t Evan be more useful, cause you see him daily
Barty: .. James was just the first person I thought of
Marlene: ..
Barty: I guess
Marlene: ..alright then-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dorcas: Barty.. why?
Barty: ‘why’ what? I didn’t even do anything!
Dorcas: Oh, so running around saying your dating, Potter? Is nothing?
Barty: you heard that did ya?
Dorcas: of course I did, I hear everything. May as well call me “Rita fucking Skeeter”
Barty: okay I did! People were annoying me and I just said “My boyfriend needed me” and just threw Potter’s name in there so people would shut up and leave me alone!
Barty: god do people ever stop and leave me alone? Stop asking me about it god!
Dorcas: ..
Dorcas: okay.. my bad then

“If it's make-believe, why does it feel like a vow, we'll both uphold somehow?” Wolfstar.
“Forgive me, Peter. My lost fearless leader, in closets like cedar, persevered when we were just kids. It is something I did?”
But it’s James’ last words to Peter trying to figure out what he did to deserve this betrayal.
Don’t get me wrong I LOVE simp Gryffindor x nonchalant Slytherin, but.
But, like, it’s kinda overdone, and I think it would add more complexity and depth into ships (aswell as tension) if we did;
simp (who’s never been a simp before) Slytherin X nonchalant and oblivious (who’s never been loved back)) Gryffindor
“He was six-foot-four and full of muscle”
But it’s just James Potter.
Remus “I can’t love you, anymore” Lupin.
Sirius “I can’t love you any more” Black.
James was really drunk at a party he stumbled to the bathroom to be greeted by Mary, Marlene and Lily. Marlene and Mary, instantly aware of why he’s there, go over and help he get to the toilet to vomit. Lily stands there confused why they’re helping James. Like James “asshole pure-blood” Potter?? Marlene gives out to James while he tries to sleep on the toilet, so she tells him to start talking. He rambles about how he wants to go help Pete cause he left him alone of the sofa out there, how he has to help Sirius and Remus talk because they’re too nervous to do it by themselves, how he has to give advice to Dorcas because she doesn’t know what’s the best alcohol they have, how Pandora lost her shoes and he has to help her, how Barty is overwhelmed and how he has to get him out, that Evan wants weed and he was supposed to get some for him, and how he was supposed to do and help so many people. Mary and Marlene nodding along and rubbing his back and holding his hand like it’s normal?? Lily stands there watching James potter tell them how he doesn’t have time to be sick cause there’s people who need help more.
Lily realises maybe he’s different.
James “asshole pureblood” Potter
Yearning Gay and Chaotic bisexual might just be my favourite trope
James: can I try rizzing you up?
Anyone: ..okay-
James: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLESS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PELASE PELSSE PELASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PELASE—
Remus: I hope you find peace for yourself. Ruining our lives isn’t going to fill the void.
Peter: …
