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 : James Potter x fem!reader
Summary: 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.
Warnings : 18+, !minors dni! ,Jealous James potter , Angst , dramatic confessions, smut, oral (f receiving) , body worship , p in v. First time writing smut.
(Let me know if I missed any!)
A/N: This is the clean version of the same story.
────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────
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 after 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 you both exchanging 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 cream 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.
“What. The. Actual. Fuck?” 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 the fuck are you doing!?” James shouted, as he jumped up and away from the flames.
“Who the actual fuck do you think you are, potter? You pathetic piece of shit. Beating up guys who talk to me? It was a one night stand. 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.
“You think you can just exist. Exist being so perfect. Looking so beautiful, that it physically pains to be away from you. I ACHE EVERY MINUTE I AM NOT WITH YOU!” He shouted, pushing your wand aside 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. Oh,with each kiss you were wondering why you resisted for so long. You kissed his jaw then his jaw line and then his ear, leaving hickeys as you went. James trailed a finger down ur spine, giving you shivers.
“James…” I trailed off.
“Oh.. do you not want to?” He asked
“No! No.. I definitely want to , but I don’t have-“ you hoped he’d get the hint.
“I have like an entire pack of condoms in my bag ,over there.”
“wow. Way to make a girl feel special…” you rolled your eyes , but also felt kind of sad , because why did he need so many condoms? Who were they for?. You were spiralling in a train of thought and just then James’ voice snaps you out of it.
“Y/n…. These are the ones i share with the boys… Remus got them from the muggles and this bag here is his.” James said holding up Remus’ bag.
That made you feel so much better.
James picks up where you left it.
James trails kisses from your mouth to you abdomen. You couldn’t help but let out a soft moan, earning a small smirk from him.
“James, what if someone comes in?”
“Colloportus” James said as he pointed his wand towards the slightly open door.
“There. No one is going to be coming inside, but there will be a lot of cumming inside…” He smirked as he made his lewd remark.
“Yuck James! That was corny even for you.” You complained as you threw your cardigan at him. “Unfunny freak” you sniggered.
After kissing for about 10 minutes, James unbuttoned his shirt, and then goes to remove your clothes.
“Is this okay, love?” James asked
You nodded.
“I need a verbal ‘yes’ y/n.”
“Yes.”
Now both of you were in nothing but your underwear. James started kissing you and slowly made his way down. Oh how you’ve missed this! Once he reached your lower abdomen, he gave you a look and removed your panties. He slid his tongue between your slit.
“Oh Merlin! James!” You gasped, clutching a fistful of his hair.
“Does that feel good , love? Wanted to get you a little excited, but it seems to me you’ve got that covered.” James grinned.
You reddened at that comment.
“Don’t be ashamed, love. Let me try something. You just relax and spread your legs. Thank-you.” James instructed as you spread your legs apart.
He stuck one finger, then a second , curling them inside. Oh.my.world. This felt so good, you wanted to scream. He bought his mouth down to your clit and started sucking it.
“Potter… I’m so.. c-c-close” you barely managed to say.
With two more thrusts of his fingers, you finished in his mouth.
“You’re so fucking sweet, darling “
“Ok darling, I need a verbal yes for this part” James said as he slid a condom on.
He aligned his length with you. “Darling?”
“Yes. Please James. I need you.” You begged.
“Oh love, you look so beautiful, begging for me like that.” He said as he pushed himself in.
Your eyes practically rolled to the back of your head due to the intense pleasure you were feeling. This was so much better than the first time. Maybe because both of your feelings are out in the open this time.
“Y/n , you feel so good my love. “ James cooed.
With a few more thrusts you could feel a knot coming undone in your stomach.
“Hold on for just a minute, darling” James said.
“I’m gonna cu- James-“ you pleaded
And just like that, both of you finished at the same time.
James cleaned you up, and you both redressed. As you were leaving the empty classroom, James grabbed you by your wrist. He placed a kiss on your forehead.
“Next time Potter, when you send me flowers, make sure to leave a note on them. Don’t want people to get beaten up for no reason.”
You teased.
“Next time Y/L/N , be better at acknowledging my feelings” James joked.
“Next time , be better at fucking showing them!” You countered.
You both laughed, as James pulled you in for one last kiss before class.

Ron Weasley x fem!reader
Friends to lovers
Summary: You and Ron have been best friends since first year. Unbeknownst to you, you had started developing feelings for him but he starts dating Lavender Brown. Everything changes one summer night at the burrow.
(Happy ending ofc <3)
Word count: 2k
Requests are open 💌
Sunlight reflected off his scarlet quidditch robes, making his red hair appear redder. You ran up to Ron to congratulate him, and the rest of gryffindor, on their victory.
“Well played weasley.” You smirked as Ron pulled you into a hug.
“Couldn’t have done it without your support from the benches” he joked
Pulling away from him, you noticed a curly dusty blonde haired girl eager to make her way towards Ron.
“Congratulations Won won!” She giggled and pulled Ron into a deep kiss.
What the hell? Who is this freak? Does she congratulate every guy by kissing them? You thought to yourself.
“I’ll see you in the common room later.” She winked at Ron as she walked away.
“Who the hell was that?” You asked
“Oh, that was Lavender. Lavender Brown. We started seeing each-other last month. She’s a bit…. strong spirited…. If thats the right way to put it.” He explained.
“Last month!!?? And you didn’t even have the courtesy to tell me? Only been your best friend for six bloody years and you don’t tell me you’ve got yourself a girlfriend? Piss off Ronald.” You shouted as you walked away.
“Y/n wait-“ You heard Ron call but you didn’t care.
How dare he? You always shared everything with him. Every single detail of your life, and he did the same. Well, up until now. You didn’t understand why it was bothering you so much; the mere thought of Ron and Lavender together made your blood boil. It must have been because he kept you in the dark about it for so long.
“Y/n… are you alright?” Hermione whispered.
You were sitting on the floor of the gryffindor common room, in-front of the fireplace, finishing your History of Magic homework.
“So I’m guessing you heard about my little outburst on the quidditch field this morning?” You asked
“Half of the school heard it” She quipped.
“Wow. Thanks. That made me feel so much better.” You said with a blank expression.
It has been three weeks since you found out about Lavender and Ron. He tried ‘explaining himself’ to you on numerous occasions, but each time you came up with a pathetic excuse to avoid him. He didn’t have to explain who he was dating or why he was dating them to you. That would be weird. Why should he be obligated to consult you about his love life? You’re over reacting, thats all - you tried telling yourself every night. It didn’t bother you, honestly why should it even bother you?
“Y/n! Please stop this madness. It’s been three weeks… I miss my friend.” Ron pleaded. He had you cornered near a wall in the corridors, you couldn’t escape him now.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about Lavender immediately. Honestly… I didn’t see it lasting long anyway , so I didn’t bother telling you. And to be frank, I didn’t think you’d like her… guess I got that part right.” Ron explained as he scratched the back of his neck.
“No. Don’t be sorry. I’m sorry Ron. I’m sorry for acting so childish.” You apologised
Ron pulled you into a tight hug and smiled.
“Soooo… tell me about her. Is she a good kisser?” You teased
“Oh shut it” Ron play punched you in the shoulder.
“What!? Every time i’ve seen you guys together , you’ve been snogging!” You said laughing.
And just like that, everything felt normal again.
Exams had just come to an end, and you couldn’t be happier. Summer at the burrow with the weasley family awaited you. Every summer since your second year at hogwarts, Ron invited you, Hermione and Harry to the burrow to spend a few weeks there. Even when Harry and Hermione failed to go, you never missed the opportunity to spend time with the weasleys. They were the closest thing you had to family. Molly was like the mother you never had and Ginny was like a sister you adored. Ron… Ron was just your Ron. He was your favourite person in the entire world. You were hoping that wouldn’t change since he started dating Lavender.
“Did you tell Mrs. Weasley that all three of us are coming this summer?” You asked Ron. You, Harry , Hermione and Ron were sitting in the same compartment in the train whilst stuffing your faces with sweets from the trolly.
“Oh yea , i’ve told mum. She’s trilled. I even overheard Fred and George planning what tricks to play on us once we get there” Ron said.
“Did you tell her, Ron?” Harry whispered into Ron’s ear.
“Tell me what?” You asked nervously.
“Oh erm… Lavender is going to join us at the burrow this summer.” Ron mumbled stuffing his face with more sweets.
“Ron stop eating for a second. Your mouth is so full; I don’t think I heard you right…. For a second I thought you said Lavender is joining us this summer.” You said.
“Oh you heard him right.” Hermione said as she rolled her eyes.
Was he being serious right now? This was a thing the friend group shared. Why the hell did he have to ruin it by inviting his annoying little girlfriend. And just on cue, Lavender appeared outside the compartment, blowing her breath on the glass as she drew a heart and wrote ‘Lavender + Ron’ in it.
“I think I’m going to be sick” you said.
The days at the burrow passed by excruciatingly slow. You barely spoke to Ron. Lavender was every where. Even Mrs. Weasley seemed to have had enough of her. Fred and George tried to cheer you up on multiple occasions by playing tricks on Ron and Lavender every time you caught them snogging.
“Y/n , don’t be like this. Please. “ Hermione pressed.
“What do you mean? I’m not being like… anything.” You countered.
“ It’s so obvious you hate seeing Ron and Lavender together, in fact it’s obvious you hate seeing Ron with anyone that isn’t you.” Harry added
“I literally have no idea what you’re talking about.” You said as you burst out the living room.
That night, Lavender announced that she will be cooking dinner for everyone, since she wanted to do something special for her ‘Won Won’.
Everyone waited eagerly at the table , wondering what dish Lavender would be serving. You hated to admit it , but the smell coming from the kitchen was mouth watering. Your stomach made a rumbling noise as you glanced at Ron.
He was seated right across you, with Harry beside him. Hermione sat on your left and Ginny on your right. Everyone else were in their usual spots as Lavender finally bought out the food.
“Tada! I present to you , a recipe passed down for generations in my family , Cauliflower Casserole!” Lavender squeaked as she begin serving the dish to everyone.
“Double serving for you , because I know your gonna love it , my Won Won.” Lavender continued.
“Is she mental? Is she absolutely stupid? How has she been dating Ron for three months, and yet she doesn’t even know the fact that he despises cauliflower!?” You whisper shouted to Ginny and Hermione.
“Eat up Won Won.” Lavender hovered over Ron until he put a spoon full of casserole in his mouth.
“Mmm. It’s delicious.” Ron lied, turning a shade of green, as he continued eating.
“Ron you don’t have to-“ you were saying as Hermione cut you off.
“Don’t y/n. It’s not worth it.” She said.
Everyone else seemed to be enjoying their meal, even you, as the food was actually quite delicious. But, Ron barely touched his food which was extremely rare for him.
After dinner, you played a round of wizards chess with mrs. Weasley, Hermione and Ginny, and then went to bed.
You awoke at 2 am, parched and in desperate need of water. As you made your way down to the kitchen, you saw a figure standing above the stove. It was Ron.
“Hey… what are you doing up so late?” You asked.
“Blimey y/n. You scared me.” He jumped.
“Are you making food at this ungodly hour, Ronald Weasley?” You asked.
“Yea… I’m still kinda hungry.”
“Figured. Cauliflower casserole. Pft. Three months and it’s like she knows nothing about you.” you mumbled, mostly to yourself.
“I know you hate her.” Ron said
“Move over.” You ignored him as he handed you the pan. You cracked an egg and begin frying some bacon. Ron sat on the table, his mouth watering at the smell.
You placed the food on a plate and grabbed two forks. Ron practically attacked the food, making you laugh.
“Do you love her?” You asked
“Love!? Love who? Lavender? God no.” He seemed offended you even asked such a question.
“Then why are you with her , Ron?”
“I- Because I can’t be with the one person I want to be with.” He spat
“What are you taking about?” You asked, confused.
“It’s impractical. She’s like my bestest friend in the whole world. It would be nonsensical for me to confess to her. She probably doesn’t even feel the same way.” He explained.
“Are you talking about Hermione?” You asked baffled.
“Merlins sake y/n…. I’m talking about you!” He practically shouted.
“Me?” You said, your voice barely a whisper.
Both of you were standing now. Your heart was racing faster than your brain. Ron wants to be with me? How is that possible. You thought to yourself. He treated you like one of his brothers, playing rough all the time, he never even treated you like a proper girl. You would have never figured he had feelings for you.
“What are you saying, Ron?” You questioned.
“I’m saying- I’m saying that I’m bloody in love with you, y/n! I have been… for a very, very long time.” He said.
You walked closer to him, your faces only a few inches apart.
“You fool, why didn’t you tell me sooner?” You asked as you placed your hand on his cheek.
“I didn’t think you would return my feelings, and quite frankly I didn’t want to ruin our friendship.” He explained.
“Idiot” you murmured as you pulled Ron in for a kiss. He kissed back like it was the only thing he had been wanting to do all summer.
After a minute, you pulled away.
“What are we going to do about Lavender?” You asked
“I’ll sort it out first thing tomorrow. But for now….” Ron pulled you in as you smiled against his chest.
All was well. Ronald weasley was finally yours.

The Serpents and Stars Pt 1
Summary: You can’t stand the Marauders. They’re obnoxious, arrogant, and entirely too smug for their own good. So why do they keep flirting with you?
Pairing: Poly!Marauders (James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin) x Slytherin!Fem!Reader
Warnings: I've never written a fic before so this could be terrible.
Pt 1 Pt 2 Pt 3 Pt 4 Pt 5 Pt 6
If there was one thing you knew to be true, it’s this:
The Marauders were insufferable.
James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin three Gryffindor golden boys who walked around like they owned the castle, smirking at anything with a pulse and charming their way out of every possible punishment.
They were loud. They were cocky.
And worst of all?
They wouldn’t leave you alone.
“Morning, princess,” Sirius drawled as you passed by in the Great Hall, his signature smirk firmly in place.
You rolled your eyes. “Drop dead.”
James, sitting beside him, gasped dramatically. “Oh, sweetheart, if you wanted us dead, you could’ve just asked.”
Remus, the least infuriating of the three, snorted into his coffee. “You really do have a special connection.”
You gave him a flat look. “Yes, Lupin, it’s called hatred.”
Sirius leaned in, his grey eyes glinting mischievously. “Or is it repressed desire?”
You grabbed a piece of toast off your plate and chucked it at his head.
James caught it midair, the show-off, and took a bite. “Thanks, love. You shouldn’t have.”
Your blood boiled.
Why did they insist on flirting with you? Why couldn’t they just leave you alone like every other Gryffindor you couldn’t stand?
But no. Instead, you got this.
And worse? It was every. Damn. Day.
It wasn’t just in the Great Hall.
No, they tormented you, somehow finding you everywhere.
In the library, when you were trying to study.
“Looking gorgeous as ever, love,” James whispered, sliding into the seat across from you.
You slammed your book shut. “Potter, if you don’t leave in the next five seconds, I’ll hex you into next week.”
James grinned. “That means you’d miss me for a whole week.”
You considered launching your inkpot at his head.
Sirius, of course, was no better.
One day, he caught you sneaking out to the Black Lake for a quiet moment alone. Instead of letting you have your peace, he followed you.
He stretched out on the grass beside you, smirking up at the sky. “You know, I think you’re obsessed with me.”
You scoffed. “I think you’ve mistaken ‘loathing’ for ‘obsession.’”
“Ah,” he mused, “but loathing is just passion in disguise.”
You kicked water at him.
He only laughed.
And Remus? Remus was the worst of all.
Because unlike the other two, who were loud and unbearable, he was quietly infuriating.
Remus listened. Remus noticed things.
Like the way you preferred black coffee over tea. The way you chewed the end of your quill when you were concentrating. The way you always hesitated before answering a question in class, even when you knew the answer.
And worst of all?
The way he would look at you. Like he understood something about you that even you didn’t.
It drove you mad.
One day, after an especially awful Potions class (thanks to James knocking over an entire cauldron, making the whole room smell like burnt eggs), you finally snapped.
You whirled on them the moment you stepped out of the classroom.
“Why?” you demanded, glaring at the three of them. “Why do you keep doing this? Annoying me? Flirting with me? What do you want?”
James blinked. “We just like you, love.”
Sirius grinned. “Obviously.”
Remus tilted his head, smiling that soft, knowing smile. “Why? Does it bother you?”
You opened your mouth to say yes, to tell them to leave you alone, to curse them into oblivion.
But the words wouldn’t come.
Because the truth was.
You didn’t hate it.
You didn’t hate them.
And that?
That was the real problem.
Authors note: I might make this a series if people like it idk tho if so I can also make a taglist so just lemme know
An interesting way to word it
behind every hot girl there is unhealthy, slightly concerning, spiritual connection to harry potter’s dead parents dead friend group
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.

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.

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.
