james potter the kinda boyfriend to carry a picture of you in his wallet and show it to everyone at every opportunity
i was giggling and twirling my hair while writing it bae š
he's sooooooo
you know those guys that every time they have to refer to their girlfriends they never say their name but rather āmy girlfriendā? yeah thatās james core
james potter the kinda boyfriend to carry a picture of you in his wallet and show it to everyone at every opportunity
actually wait a minute... i might do something w this...
rip james potter you would've loved 'i'm in love with you' by the 1975
this concept is actually so personal to me you guys just wouldn't get it
hockey player james headcannons for those who love this au as much as i do muah!
⢠so so sweaty when he gets home from practice. as much as you love that james is like a personal heater for you when it comes to those cold rainy night cuddles or womanhood surprisingly greets you one morning, he also is a sauna coming off the ice. yet, heās so excited to see you, that when he burstās through your apartment door and jumps on the bed to give you kisses, they arenāt very enjoyable when your comforter and clothes get soaked by his presence.
⢠of course, he somehow then manages you to take a shower with him every time.
⢠wearing his jersey might be one of the reasons james will ever burst out into tears of pure happiness. the first time you both started dating and you came to one of his games with āpotterā displayed across your back, wearing his number, poor thing almost got knocked out by a flying puck because he couldnāt take his eyes off of you.
⢠speaking of flying pucks, james definitely has lost a tooth or two from his reckless behavior and cocky attitude, that perhaps sometimes the other team donāt seem to understand. as much as we all adore jamesās kindness and big heart, that boy is a loose canon on the ice. usually finding home in the ļæ¼penalty box more that either one of you would like.
⢠if you donāt know how to skate, itās your lucky day! because you best believe your first date consistās of james taking you out into the empty arena, and spending all day holding your hand as you get used to the ice. donāt worry about falling though, because james would be damned if you ever hit the ice without him catching you. those big muscles arenāt just for hockey wink wink.
⢠definitely is the cutest little grump if his team is to ever lose a game. james loves winning (not as much as he loves you) but considering being captain, all he wants is for his team to cherish the sight of holding the number one title and a great big trophy to display in the locker rooms. speaking of, when he does walk out after losing a game, his face ļæ¼immediately falls into the comfortable crook of your neck and leans all his body weight into you. just mumbling, āi tried baby, i really did.ā before kissing that sweet spot behind your ear.
⢠dating james also includes your position as the teamās āmomā james will make sure every one of his teammates adore you just as much as he does, and to give their full respect if you are to make your presence know. yet, if james isnāt around, all those boys are doting on you and asking for favors. āhey y/n! can you help me find my jersey?ā or, āy/n, i canāt figure out this recipe. can you look it over?ā
⢠as james watches his teammates over time grow fond of you, of course he getās sweetly jealous. mumbling, āsweetheart, why do you have to help sirius with his homework? you are suppose to be hanging out with me.ā although james canāt even lie, watching you bond with the team is such a hilarious, yet special, moment to witness.
this just singlehandedly ruined my dayĀ š
thinking about how james potter never had to live in a world without his two best friends sirius and remus nor his wife and love of his life lily because he was the last one to be born and the first one to die š

1.
- Hi, Jamie - you went to give him a quick kiss hello when you met at the hallway. When you distanced yourself, he pouted.
- Another one - he begged. You did as told, but when you distanced yourself a second time, he sighed in exasperation - Come here, will ya?
He held your face with his strong hands as he kissed you for a long moment. Your heart went crazy on your chest with the familiar taste of his lips and the warmth of his palms. When the kiss ended, he pulled away slowly, but kept his hands on your face, delicately brushing a few rebel strands of hair away.
- Iāll take this as youāve missed me? - you teased, your eyes glimmering in the way they only do when youāre around James.
- Are you teasing me, missy? - he faked an overdramatic expression of offense.- And me here, thinking that youāve missed me too, after such a long time weāve been apart!
- Weāve had one separate class, drama queen. - you rolled your eyes at him.
- Well for me, it was a lot. But if you donāt miss your boyfriend, thatās fine⦠- He faked a hiccup and cleaned an imaginary tear from his eye.
- Iāve seen you this morning - you lowered your voice into a knowing whisper - Remember?
He dropped the act at the mention of the earlier morning and smirked in that cheeky way that made your heart beat two times faster.
- How could I forgetā¦- He reached to snake his arms around your waist.
- Shh! James, stop. I think Iāve heard someone - You stepped away from him. You had heard talking somewhere around the corner of the empty hallway you were both in. You and James kept a distance as a group of third years passed by. They giggled when they recognized James Potter, the Quidditch captain, and your boyfriend, being the tease he was, waved at them, making them almost faint.
- They would miss me if i was their boyfriend, yāknow - He said, and just like you predicted, he was wearing that pompous smirk he had when these things happened.
- Youāve eaten a little clown for breakfast today? - You rolled your eyes at him.
- No need to get that jealous of your competition, Y/N. - You crossed your arms and frowned. He laughed, placing his arms around you. - Even though you donāt miss me, youāre my favorite girl.Ā
- Even though youāre a smug prick, I did miss you. A lot.
- A lot? But it was just one class⦠- He mocked your previous words in a high pitched tone.
- It was one class too manyĀ - Your heart turned into mush as you looked into his eyes, not being able to keep yourself from kissing him again.
Just a month before, being with him like this was just a beautiful, distant daydream in your head. You both were pining and longing for each other, handling what you both thought was an unrequited love for your best friend. Now, you and James were into that honeymoon phase of the relationship where you just couldnāt keep your hands (or your mouths) off from each other. That was logistically complicated, since you had decided to go slow and keep things a bit more private. You were just discovering the sweetness of finally belonging to one another, and you had the opinion that the gossip that would obviously arise from your relationship would take away some of that joy. So, for now, you were happy keeping it just between you two and the Marauders.
- What class do we have now?Ā
- Hmmm...Charms? Yeah, I think so. Iāll meet you there, I gotta give McGonagall some papers.Ā
- Alrighty - you agreed, getting on your tiptoes to kiss his cheek. - Donāt take too long.
- I think we both know I canāt stay away from you too long - he smiled.
James walked the hallways in that strut that he liked to deny having. Everyone was already inside the classrooms to resume the classes after lunch. He knocked on McGonagallās door.
- Turn to page 278 to read about Vero Verto - James heard the professorās voice getting closer to the door as she instructed the first year students she was teaching. - Silently.
- Good morning, Minnie. - He greeted McGonagall with a smile.
- Hm, good morning, Potter - He adored McGonagall, and he knew she liked him too, specially for bringing Gryffindor multiple Quidditch championships, but the professor was never one to smile loosely. However, the way she was scanning his face through her half moon glasses, her eyebrows furrowing even more than usual, made him uneasy.
- I just passed by to bring my homework, and⦠-
- What is that on your face, Potter? - She questioned abruptly. Her question caught the studentsā attention, and all eyes turned to James. The room erupted with laughter.Ā
- Silence! - She commanded, her harsh tone making them quiet down, settling for muffled giggles and whispers.
- On my face? - James touched his cheek.
- Yes, Potter. There is a lipstick stain on your cheek.
He felt the blood draining from his face: Y/Nās lipstick must have stained his skin when she kissed him.
- Ah, thatās nothing, Minnie - he brushed his cheek aggressively. The rubbing must have only smeared the lipstick, because the class bursted into an even louder fit of giggles, this time followed by kissing sounds. - The girls these days, y'knowā¦
The professor grabbed the papers he was carrying.
- Go clean yourself, Potter. - She eyed him suspiciously before closing the door with a bang.
2.
- I think sheāll eventually forgive you, Marls. Thereās no way she would break up with you for such a silly thing.
- I donāt know, Y/N, she seemed really hurt this morningā¦
You gave Marlene a side hug, hoping to give her some solace. You had been comforting her since lunch, when she came to tell you about the fight she had had with Dorcas.
- Give her some time, yeah? Iām absolutely sure sheāll come around. I mean, sheās head over heels in love with you.
- You think so? - she looked up at you with hope in her red, puffy eyes
- I know so - You reassured her with a smile.
It was a windy afternoon, and a sudden intense breeze rushed through the castleās yard, where you were walking with Marlene towards the Astronomy tower. Your scarf, loosely hanging around your neck, got carried by the wind.
- Ah, crap! - You started chasing it as it flew. Marlene started helping you, and after jogging a bit, she was able to fetch it.
- Here - she handed it to you.Ā
When you went to grab it, her eyes seemed to notice something in the end of the scarf. A sudden rush of panic flooded you as you noticed what it was: Jamesā initials.
You both had left his dorm in a hurry this morning (as usual), because he made you late (as usual). You two lost track of time, and before you noticed, there was only ten minutes left for you to get ready, get something for breakfast and get to Flitwickās class. You had gathered your uniform where you had left it ready the night before, but you mustāve grabbed his scarf instead of yours, somehow.
- Is thisā¦? - Marleneās hand brushed the yellow embroidered J.F.P. At first, she looked confused, but when recognition downed on her, she squinted her eyes at you with a smirk - Is this Jamesā?
Marlene had always teased you about James, making fun of how oblivious you were to his obvious crush on you. She was one of your best friends, and you could tell her the true reason why you were with James' scarf, and she would surely be over the moon for you. You were tired of hiding your relationship, but since you hadnāt talked to James, you'd have to lie, again.
Now, you couldnāt deny it was Jamesā scarf, because there werenāt many James Fleamont Potters around Hogwarts, so it would be, theoretically, only half a lie.
- Yeah - You tried to conceal the sudden high pitch of your voice, granted for when you liedĀ - Itās Jamesā. He lent me his this morning, since, you know, itās windy and I lost mine, uh⦠at the lake. It fell and I think the squid got it. You know how sneaky that little guy is, always fetching things. Anyways, thanks, Marls!
You laughed awkwardly and got the scarf away from her hands. As you tied it safely around your neck, you smelled a strong whiff of Jamesā scent. You didnāt know how you hadnāt noticed that you had gotten his scarf, maybe because you were already used to his scent, spending all the time wrapped around him. It wouldāve been a plausible lie if you hadnāt gotten nervous and thrown all that squid nonsense in there. You felt like a kid getting caught eating ice cream before dinner. Your face burned when Marlene said in a casual tone, while clearly holding in a laugh:
- I could swear that I saw your scarf on your neck last nightā¦.
3.Ā
- Potter!
James lifted his head from his parchment as Frank Longbottom called out his name. You and him had been doing Potions homework in the common room, your legs resting on his lap under the table.
- I lost my prefect badge and Iām on patrol tonight. Can you lend me yours, just for tonight?Ā
- Yeah, sure! Itās in my dorm.
You lifted your legs to allow him to get up, and he winked at you as he and Frank headed upstairs
- The roomās a mess, thanks to Sirius, but I remember I put it somewhere around⦠here⦠- James started looking on his desk for the bronze badge. Sirius, being the hurricane he was, had thrown a bunch of his things over Jamesā desk, so it would take some digging. - Sit down, this might take awhile.
James dug through socks, blouses, but secretly thanked Sirius for the mess: that way, it was easier to discreetly push your things into a drawer so Frank wouldnāt see. A brownish glimmer caught Jamesā eye.
- Ah, found it! - James turned around holding the badge victoriously.
Frank was analyzing a plushie. Not just any plushie: the teddy bear you had given James the week before. āIt looks just like you, Jamieā you had said, while giggling āItās cuddlyā. It was a brown bear holding a heart. You enchanted it so he would sing a sappy love song every time James squeezed its belly and even sprayed a bit of your perfume on it. James had absolutely loved the gift, just as he did everything else you gave him, so much that he kept it placed safely on his bed, where Frank had seen it. Then, forĀ Jamesā absolute panic, Frank pressed its belly., and the bear started belting:
And they called it puppy love, just because we're seventeenā¦
James snatched the bear away from Frank.
- Silencio!Ā
When he looked back at Frank, he raised an amused eyebrow.
- Thatās⦠Sirius gave it to me - Why that was the first thing that came to Jamesā mind, he had no idea. But he would have to run with it.
- A plushie? - Frank chuckled.
- Yeah, you know the guy. Does anything for a laugh.
- Even enchanting it to sing?
- Er, he⦠- James searched his mind for something - He goes to great lengths.Ā
- I see, he sprayed perfume on it and all.
- Impressive lengths, really.
James gave Frank his best innocent smile. Truth was, he was tired of doing this, hiding things between you. He had been for weeks now, but he was afraid bringing it up would make you feel pressured. Frank was a really nice guy, and he was madly in love with his girlfriend, Alice, so he would surely be happy for you two, but since James hadnāt had the guts to discuss you twoās arrangement, he would need Frank to believe him, even if it was clear he was finding it all very amusing, and not buying any of it.
- I find this perfume a little familiar⦠Like I know someone who uses it⦠Probably Y/N - Frank put his finger on his chin, pretending to think while sniffing the air - But I think Iām mixing things up. Anyway, thanks for the badge, puppy love.
4.Ā
- It says we need to add⦠- Mary leaned into her textbook to read the instructions while you laborly stirred your laughing potion - billywig sting?
- Only sting? Are you sure? I remember it being billywig sting slime!
- I wrote down only āstingā, but I probably messed up.Ā
- If we add the right one, itāll be the laughing potion. If we add the wrong one, itāll end up a floating potion. I just canāt remember which is which!
- Maybe we should take a look at your book. Where is it?
- Yeah, sure. Itās in my bag - You cleaned a few drops of sweat from your forehead.
Mary leaned down to search for it.
- Got it!
She placed the book between you two and started browsing through, looking for the right page for the laughing potion while you attentively observed the suspicious blue tone of your potion.Ā
- āFor the moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the beautiful Y/Nā. Signed, James.
You turned to Mary in sheer terror.Ā
If you had to determine Jamesā love languages, it would easily be physical touch and words of affirmation. But lately, he had taken a liking to gift giving. Between paper rings, notes, letters, origamis, even silly stick drawings he did of you two, you had quite an extensive collection sitting in a tea box on your bedside table. He couldnāt help it: the silly gifts kept you smiling the whole day through. For James, drawing stick figures or writing little poems was a very small price to pay for your smile, the one thing that lit his whole world up like sunlight. He gave you this specific one, with a customized version of a piece of āāAnnabel Leeā yesterday, and you had forgotten to add it to your extensive collection after coming by your dorm.
You dropped the spoon you were stirring the potion with. There was no denying this. James was a clown, he always had been, but one thing he never joked around with was other peopleās feelings. Everyone knew that. He wouldnāt have written you this if he didnāt mean it.
- Aww, thatās so sweet - Mary smiled at the paper.
- Maryā¦Ā
- Y/N, hey, relax, alright? - She stopped smiling when she saw your eyes widen. - We all know it.
They all know it?
- Everyone sees the way you look at each other. And the people talk. Particularly, Iāve only heard people saying that you two are adorable, and some other people saying that they envy you or they envy James. Itās fine, I promise.Ā
- But I⦠we triedā¦
- I know you tried. But listen: ever since I first met you, whenever you and James are in a room together, itās like youāre the only two people in the world, and we are all watching. So when you started to sneak around, poorly, may I add, leaving the dorm late at night, going around with his clothes, happier than Iāve ever seen, it wasnāt hard to add things up. Also, you guys suck at keeping things secret.
You two shared a laugh. Your long forgotten laughing/floating potion bubbled in the wrongest shade of green.
- I know. But we really tried our best.
She gave you a soft smile.
- Y/N, when two people are this much in love, thereās no hiding it.Ā
+1
You were laying down at Jamesā bed. It was a warm, sunny sunday morning that basked the whole dorm room in golden. James was standing by his chest of drawers, shuffling through his clothes to find his uniform for the Quidditch match that would start after breakfast. You watched the muscles on his back, the curves of his shoulder, the nape of his neck, his rebel dark hair. All the freckles on his skin that marked your favorite places to kiss.
- I can feel you looking at me, yāknow. And Iām shy. - He turned his face to look at you. The movement gave you a view of his dark eyes, his glasses, the curve of his lips as he grinned, his straight nose.
- Itās not my fault you are beautiful. - You sighed.
- Iām beautiful? - He opened a genuine smile, one that showed his dimples.
- Yes.
In two long strides, he reached the bed. He sat down by your side, and his eyes scanned you lovingly, making you blush under his gaze.Ā
- Iāll only take your word for it only cause youāre the most beautiful girl in the world.- he whispered before kissing the tip of your nose.
You two looked at each other a bit longer. The sunlight that creeped into the room made his eyes look like warm dripping honey. James was never one to be sheepish, but you could tell by the soft tint his cheeks that you looking at him like he hung the stars on the sky made him shy.
- Cāmon, sleepy girl, or weāll be late. And I canāt play without my lucky charm, yeah?
You didnāt move, and neither did him, despite his words. You leaned in, getting closer to him.
- I want to give you something, Jamie.
- Your heart? Iāll take it.
- You already have it. Itās something else. Close your eyes.
He did as told. He was so beautiful that it made you dizzy. His eyes, his mouth, his hands, his skin. Every part of him felt like home. Unable to help yourself, you kissed his lips chastely and he hummed with satisfaction.
- Is that it? - He peeked.
- No. Keep them closed.
You reached for his bedside table where you had placed the ribbon you always wore on your hair the night before. These ribbons were your trademark, and you wore them every single day. You cut up a piece with a scissor you had brought for this purpose.
You softly grabbed Jamesā warm hand. You placed the satiny strip around his wrist, and with a touch of your wand, turned it into a compact ribbon bracelet.
- Open.
He immediately looked down at his wrist, and his eyes instantly flooded with emotion.
- Wear it for the game, okay? For luck. And after that, too, if youād like.
- Y/N⦠these are your ribbons. Everyone knowsā¦
- I want them to know. You are the best thing thatās ever been mine, and the rest of the world should know.
James stayed silent, fiddling with his new bracelet. Panic started creeping into your chest: it hadnāt occurred to you that maybe James wasnāt ready, but it probably should. What if that was too much for him? What ifā¦
- I get it if youāre not ready, by the way, I just⦠You know - You tried chuckling to lighten up the mood, but it came out humorless.
- What? No! Of course I want that!
- I donāt want you to feel pressuredā¦
James touched your thighs, urging you to look up at him.
- Y/N, Iāve been meaning to talk about this with you for a while. I was just thinking that you are so⦠delicate. Iām much more⦠flashy.
You frowned your brows in confusion.
- What do you mean?
James opened a mischievous grin.
- Itās your turn to close your eyes.
Blindly, you listened closely to the creaking of the bed as James rose, his steps walking to the drawer, his muffled laugh.Ā
- You ready? Open.
The sight before your eyes made you wish you had a camera to keep this exact moment forever. James was standing there, with open arms, and a white t-shirt that read: I <3 MY GIRLFRIEND.Ā
- This is my way of going public. Ya like it?
You burst out laughing.
- You didnāt!
- Youāre shocked now? Wait until you see⦠this.
When he turned around, you got a look at the back of the t-shirt, where there was a photo of you. Your hands flew to your mouth in blissful shock.
- James!
- So, did ya like it?
James had the biggest, brightest proud smile on his face. You jumped into his arms, still laughing.
- I⦠loved⦠it! - You kissed his face repeatedly between words. - I want a matching one, though.
- Iāll arrange it. Do you think McGonagall would let me use this as a game uniform?Ā
- Maybe, since she will be too shocked to even answer.
- I donāt think so, after she caught me with a kiss stain on my face.
- What? When? You didnāt tell me that!
- Oh, trust me, I will. But later, cause right now I have a shirt and a girlfriend to show off.
