It has been few weeks since the dream. I'd doesn't bother me anymore, I've got over it. The past weeks have been fun but also exhausting. The boys have created total chaos in the castle by their pranks. They're calling themselves the marauders.
I don't know where the name came from. But now everybody knows that the four mischief makers: James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew are the marauders.
I'm sitting on a couch in the common room, waiting for the boys. It's always the other way around, they're waiting for me. Like Sirius says, I'm the diva who takes too much time to get ready. Who's the diva now? Actually, Sirius has always been the diva.
I hear some footsteps and talking on the staircase. Few seconds later and the boys rush towards me. "Sorry Y/N, these idiots slept in." Remus apologizes.
"Don't worry about it. So, who's the diva now, Sirius?" I look up from the couch smirking at him. "Me, I need my beauty sleep, I can't look bad. But then again, I always look good." He answers flipping his hair.
I roll my eyes. My eyes move to a very sleepy James, who is messing up his hair. Of course, like his hair isn't messy enough. I notice that his tie isn't done again. "Morning" He yawns and sits next to me on the couch. The others sit down as well.
I sigh and shake my head. "Surprise, surprise, your tie isn't done again. When will you learn how to tie it? It really isn't that hard."
"But what's the point of that, love. Then I can't enjoy looking at your face when you tie it." He smirks at me.
"Oh shut it." I take a pillow and throw it at him.
I sit closer to him and start tying his tie. Again, I feel his eyes on me.
"Oi, James quit drooling over Y/N! We have to get some breakfast." Sirius whines
"First of all, I wasn't-"
"Yeah, whatever, I really don't care, but I am hungry so Y/N, hurry up!" Sirius rushes me.
I quickly finish his tie "Done! And you mister," I pull James by his tie closer to me. Our faces are inches apart "learn how to tie your tie."
James's eyes sparkled with excitement. "You look even cuter up close."
I smile and ruffle his black messy hair. "Well you don't." I jump up from the couch and head towards the portrait, smiling to myself. That's going to hurt his ego.
"HEY!" He shouts. "I heard somewhere that most women say straight away what they think, and usually it's true." Peter says to James. "Thanks a lot Peter. This made me feel 100 times better." He mumbles. "You're taking this way too seriously, you know that she's just joking." Remus comforts James.
â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢
Sitting next to James in DADA and transfiguration was a bad idea. But in reality, it wasn't my idea, he just came and sat down next to me. Charms isn't any better, I'm sitting with Sirius. And it's bloody annoying.
In History of Magic I sit with Remus, so not bad. The other classes I take I sit with Lily. Except muggle studies, I sit with a hufflepuff girl named Aurora there.
Sirius and James also take muggle studies, they really like it. Sirius mainly does it to annoy his parents. I take it because I know everything, and next year when we take the O.W.L's, I can get an O.
Right now we're in history of magic. Remus is taking notes, James and Sirius are messing around, Peter is sleeping and my other friends are also sleeping or taking notes.
I'm listening, but I got to admit it, it's boring. Professor Binns is explaining something, but I'm not paying attention really. It was interesting at first, because Binns is a ghost. But now - I'm dying out of boredom.
I feel something hit the back of my head. Rude. I turn around to glare at the person, surprise it's Sirius. He mouths 'catch' and throws another piece of paper. I catch it. Remus gives me a confused look, I just shrug. I check if professor Binns is looking, not a surprise, he isn't. I carefully open the note.
A Ravenclaw boy on your left is staring at you like you're a piece of meat. Don't let James see him tho, don't want him to get punched or hexed;)
I frown and look on my left. Indeed a handsome Ravenclaw boy was staring at me. He had curly brown hair and blue eyes. I smile and wave at him. Why did I do that? That wave was cringe, I mentally slap myself.
He smiles and waves back. At least he didn't think I'm weird. I look behind me and see James twirling his wand between his fingers, and Sirius sleeping.
How?! He was awake a second ago! I look back at James who is now levitating his glasses. Dumbass, can't probably see now.
Sirius's head falls on the table with a bang.
Startled by that, James drops his glasses and they break.
"I'm okay! Somebody pushed me, I didn't fall asleep." Sirius explains rubbing his head. Everyone is staring at him. Binns just shrugs and continues reading.
Remus glares at the boys and mouths 'be quiet'. James glares at Sirius and mumbles something about his glasses while picking them up.
I giggle and mumble oculus reparo, pointing my wand towards James's glasses. He looks up and grins at me. I smile back.
After the bell rings we collect our stuff and head to the courtyard.
"Sirius, you twit, you didn't have to startle the whole class!" Remus huffs.
"Well, I'm sorry, Binns talks about boring stuff and I can't stay awake! It's really not my fault, if you think about it," he defends. I just roll my eyes.
"I agree with Remus, you broke my glasses! By the way thank you Y/N!" James pulls me closer; wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "No problem! Finally the day is over!" I sigh and breathe in the autumn air.
We sit under a tree by the black lake. It's our favorite spot, we always hang out here. Me and James are lying on our stomachs, picking little flowers or grass from the ground and throwing them at each other.
Remus is doing his homework, Sirius and Peter are talking about quidditch.
James takes a fist full of grass and throws it at my face. I close my eyes to avoid any of it going into my eyes. James starts laughing and rolls onto his back. Oh, he thinks it's funny.
I get up and dust off myself, I take out my wand. I'm about to do the aguamenti spell, but just my luck. I trip over my own foot.
I let out a squeal and land on James. He smirks at. Oh of course he smirks.
"Are we about to kiss?" He asks with a cocky attitude.
"In your dreams Potter."
"Hey! No PDA here, it's a PDA free zone!" Sirius yells.
I stuck out my middle finger.
Sirius plays hurt
"Y/N, can I have a word?" I turn around and see a hufflepuff boy behind me. Eric Vale, the player who everyone knows. I really don't know how he was sorted into hufflepuff. "Sure..?" I reply unsure. "Great!" The blonde boy grins.
We walk a little bit away, but not too far. I don't want to be alone with him.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I questioned him. "I know that we could have something. A relationship. You're beautiful and hot, and you probably have feelings for me, because who doesn't. Anyway, I think we should date." He moves closer to me cupping my cheek.
I slap his hand away and back up. Who does he think he is! Just assuming bullshit and touching me. "Excuse me? I don't have feelings for you, you're not that special. And I don't want to try anything." I spat.
"Oh darling I know you do." He grabs me by my waist, holding tightly so I can't move. "Don't touch me!" I struggle against his grip. "I know you want me, you don't have to hide it."
He's sick! Bloody idiot, like I would have feelings for him? Oh please!
I wiggle myself out of his grip. "If you don't mind, I will go now." I start heading back but he pulls me by my left hand. He's asking for it.
I turn around and punch him with my right hand as hard as I can.
He stumbles back holding his nose. It's bleeding. Good, he deserves it.
I hear Sirius and James cheering.
"What part of don't touch me you didn't understand? Now, stay away from me and my friends." I turn around and go back to my friends.
(James's POV)
"Y/N, can I have a word?" We turn and see Eric, the annoying Hufflepuff player. I roll my eyes. What does he want from Y/N?
"Sure..?" She replies unsure.
I look at the boys with a quizzical look. They shrug, looking as clueless as me. We watch as they head little bit away from us. I sit next to Sirius.
"What do you think they're talking about?" I ask him. "Probably how he wants to date her blah blah. Looks like Y/N isn't enjoying it." He points out.
I look at Y/N who has an angry expression on her face. Oh, she's mad at him. He cups her face but she slaps his hand away.
Sirius snorts "He really thinks he can get Y/N? Don't worry, she's all yours Jamsie."
I ignore him, too distracted by Y/N and Eric. He pulls Y/N closer by her waist, she struggles against his grip.
I jump onto my feet "He better not hurt or try to do something to her!" I grumbled.
"Relax James, if he tries to do something, we can go and hex him right away." Sirius assures.
"What's happening?" Remus leans closer to us. "What is he doing, we need to help her!" He slams his book shut.
Y/N pulls away and starts walking back to us. Thank Merlin. I let out a breath that I didn't notice I was holding.
But Eric grabs her left wrist.
"That's it, I'm throwing hands." I snapped.
I was about to rush to Y/N, but she did something that amazed me.
She punched him in the face
Badass
Sirius and I start cheering. "GO Y/N! HEX HIM TOO!" Sirius shouts.
