character guide

reoccurring characters i frequently write about or plan to

(i love getting requests and asks about these characters!)

— best friend!james

"can he really stay in denial and pretend he's not in love with you if lily knows, what if she's told the others. what if she's told you?" best friend james is kind of toxic. he's jealous and possessive. he tried to ignore his feelings and instead focused it all on lily evans, who they later dated and broke up with. you and james have been best friends for years, you've known each other since first year. you call him 'jamie' and no one else does. you have a playful relationship, it's also affectionate with hugging and physical contact in general. you get cold a lot and end up stealing his blankets and covers from his bed, james has no complaints because when he eventually gets them back they smell like you. you have no idea of james' feelings towards you. you fancied james at one point before deeming that you had no chance with him and you couldn't ruin your friendship you had together.

— bestfriends!dads marauders / bfd!marauders

"you're not dating my harry are you sweetheart?" "what! of course i'm not! we're just friends." you say probably louder than you should, wanting to defend yourself. your best friend is harry potter and the marauders have taken an interest in you. they've noticed your lingering looks and they're waiting on making a move. you spend a lot of time around harry, so you also spend a lot of time around them, every time they want to make you theirs more but they're being patient. they've fooled around together in the past, remus and sirius more often than the others. they'd have one night stands with random girls together. they don't want to treat you as a one night stand. harry and you are in your early 20s, the marauders being around 43. magic is never mentioned.

— boyfriend!neville

neville places a delicate kiss on your temple and speaks lowly into your ear, "love you flower." you two have been in a relationship for quite some time now. he tells you he loves you and you tell him you love him too. you're an intimate couple, always seen holding hands and cuddling. in private you are the same, you find it hard to keep your hands of each other, and mainly it's you that would be described as a more needy person, always wanting to kiss him and fuck him while neville tries his best to put his foot down, you're rather persistent though. boyfriend!neville is a soft dom and worships the ground you walk on. he has a slight geordie accent and loves pet names, calling you 'flower' and 'petal' a lot.

— friends with benefits james / fwb!james

he has to tell you. he has to tell you. i love you. i love you. i love you. your relationship is that you have no relationship. you're not really friends but make out all the time. you've never spoke to each other about what you are or your feelings but overtime you've both fallen in love with each other but the other one doesn't know, and the whole school doesn't even know that you know each other. if james mentioned your name to his friends he'd get confused looks and they wouldn't even know who you are. you're not a gryffindor and you're very different to james, quiet and well behaved. you don't stand out from the crowd and you don't wish to, you don't have many friends either, preferring spending time alone. james goes out of his way to learn your time table so he knows where you'll be and when, wanting to know when he can steal you away from your next class so he can see you. you both wish you could spend more time together but never mention it to each other. james calls you 'love' but you're oblivious to how genuine it is and how he never calls anyone else it.

[pleasantlycrazyworld]

I saw the post asking for fic requests so here goes. Bucky with reader who has a Russian blue cat named Solen’ya. (Russian for pickles) Thanks in advance!

Omg bucky!!!! He is my first love and will be my lasting love I swear! Thanks for the request it was so fun to do I never get request for Bucky

Just a heads up! I do not know Russian so I am taking your word for it lol

You have been seeing Bucky for around three months now and it is time to introduce him to one of the most important boys in your life. Solen'ya...your baby...well your cat but to you he was your baby.

You got Solen'ya a few years ago to help you through some rough times and ever since then it's been just the two of you. He was your favorite thing to come home to but now you have Bucky. And he's amazing, after your third date you knew that Bucky was going to be in your life for a long time so you decided he needed to meet your Solen'ya.

Bucky was never this nervous. Why is he so nervous??? It's just a cat! Not a human, not a parent or a real son, no this was just your cat so why was his hand so damn sweaty? You asked Bucky to come over to your place for your next date. You said you wanted to show off some of the cooking skills you learned all the way back in home ec class in high school, but you also wanted to introduce him to Solen'ya. You knew he was nervous and he knew how much Solen'ya meant to you which is why he was so nervous but you were oddly excited for him to meet your baby. No one has ever met Solen'ya before and the people who did he shied away from and would hide under the bed. So you had no idea what would happen or how this was going to go but you wanted to be hopeful.

Bucky wipes his hand on his pants before knocking on the door. He grips the flowers, the daisies because he was going to get lilies than he learned cats can't be around those, a bit tighter than before when he hears your footsteps approach the door. "James" You squealed seeing him at the door, "come in make yourself at home dinner is almost done!" You smiled when you saw the flowers, they were your favorite. "Oh Jamie you didn't have to bring anything" You said blushing and taking the flowers from him to put in a vase. "It was no problem" He explains as he looks around the small home. It felt like you...felt like home. As he is looking around he notices a ball of grey fluff in the corner of his eye. "Hello there, you must be Solen'ya, I'm Bucky but your mom calls me James more often." He greets the cat by presenting his hands for him to sniff. Before he could react the cat begins to purr and rub against his metal palm.

You walk back into the living room to get Bucky for dinner but you freeze at the sight in front of you. There is Bucky, sitting on the floor with a cat in his lap purring louder than ever. You smile softly and take a photo to remember the moment where your heart melted, and to remember the moment you knew Bucky was the one for you.

If you want to be tagged in Bucky fics lmk! I hope to write for him more so please send request for him!

Queen of my heart

Chapter 3

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

A/n: Chapter 3 is up at last!!! Extremely sorry for the delay, these uni exams weren't going to write themselves were they? 🥲 .. Anyway, I hope y'all like this part... Also next part is definitely going to be steamy so... Beware ig?

You stared at the note in your hand, eyes droopy with sleep. You had finished a monumental task of herbology, potions AND trasnfiguration all due the next day. Just as you were about to leave the library, you were handed this note by the writer himself. "Potter the library is closing and I'm too exhausted so sod off." You mumbled as your sluggish brain tried deciphering the contents of his note. "Say the magic words L/n and I'll leave." Potter cheekily grinned back. Ugh, why wasnt he battered like you were? You lacked the energy to be annoyed so you decided to get rid of him by giving what he wanted. "Alright! I forgive you, now please leave." You said as you made to move around him. "Not so fast," You heard him say before he blocked your path down the hallway. "What is it now?” you gritted your teeth, " My note asks for your forgiveness and requests your presence at the Ravenclaw party this weekend." He tilted his head, eyes meeting yours. You watched him as the moonlight highlighted his irises, Hazel, you noticed. "Well L/n, I know I'm gorgeous but I need an answer. " His lips quirked. Asshole. "Fine I'll be there." You pushed past him, feeling the muscles under your fingertips as you did. Merlin, you needed to sleep.

The music blared through the speakers as students swayed around, chatting… Snogging… Drinking. James looked around for a familiar Slytherin as he stood with his mates. He of course didn't expect you to come but he waited anyway. "Jamie boy, you are three days down for the 2 week challenge, you're slipping mate." Adrian patted him on his back and walked away. He was not slipping, the seven love confessions he'd got that week were proof enough. And then there was L/n. He definitely saw her as an improvement. After all, he had spent 3 days hand writing 50 apology notes. She'd agreed on the 51st, and it seemed quite entertaining watching her fighting sleep and fighting him at the same time. The 3 days themselves were rather eventful for him. He almost went so far to say he'd enjoyed how she rejected him, constantly finding creative ways. And the way she'd furrow her eyebrows when confused. James caught himself smiling into his drink a moment too late. "Lovely day dream eh?” Sirius quirked a brow. " Indeed, it's titled, 'The mockery of L/n' quite dramatic don't you think?” James grinned. He clearly despised her enough to remember her little quirks. "Oi mate look who turned up" He heard Frank whistle to him. Turning around, he caught sight of L/n and his mind froze. She looked so out of place, he thought. All the students around her looked exactly what you'd expect at a party, but her, she looked like someone who would dance with the constellations among the night sky. She looked too elegant, too exquisite to belong in a drab looking party like this. James decided he probably had too much to drink. L/n was not lily, but for the first time, lily, HIS LILY, paled in comparison to her. As you stepped into the Ravenclaw common room, you immediately regretted coming. There, among the dancing bodies stood Malcom. You cursed under your breath as you caught his eye. You quickly walked out the common room, your flowy dress hindering you a bit. Malcom caught your wrists, spinning you to face him. "It's been a while" He smiled politely. The same smile that made you fall for him in 3rd year, the same smile that morphed into hatred as he was about to hit you a month later. "What do you want Malcom? " You asked, keeping the fear from seeping through your voice. "I just wanted to say that," He walked closer, "I miss you, y/n. I miss us." He looked at you earnestly. You felt your chest tighten. You had to leave. "Let me go" You whispered as you tried to tug your arm free. His fingers tightened hard enough to hurt you. "Malcom stop! You're hurting me." You shouted, trying to reach for your wand. "Oh come on y/n, I know you still love me." He gripped your arms harder. "Malcom please, ju-" Your breath started coming out short as tears threatened to spill. Before you could say something more, a hard knock landed on Malcolm's jaw, "I believe the lady asked you to stop." James stood over him. "Potter you piece of-" "I don't think you are in the position to threaten me Malcom. You see I also happen to be the head boy and can not only deduct points but can also report you to the professors. So fuck off yeah?” James was crouching in front of Malcom, jaw set and eyes glaring. You watched as Malcom left, giving you time to try and breath normally. "Hey, would you like to sit down?” you heard James' soft voice. " That would help." You mumbled and he lead to an alcove in a deserted hallway.

You watched the orange firelight spill across the stone floor as you calmed yourself. James was with you all the while, conjuring a goblet of water and helping you focus on your breath. "Thank you." You sighed, resting your head against the wall. "For?" He asked, looking at you. "Saving me from Malcom, of course." You deadpanned. "But I could have handled it" You waved your hands. " I know," James said, which made you look at him, "but I'm glad I helped, let you share the burden for a while." He smiled, a genuine one. He was sitting next to you, your shoulders touching his. "And to finally be your knight in shining armor." He grinned. "You never give up do you?" You couldn't help but laugh. "On you? Never." He laughed. You looked at him wondering how he had said something so profound and intimate just like that, with a smile. You leaned forward, lips touching his briefly as you heard him take in a sharp breath. You pulled away, cheeks reddening. "I-" James silenced you by claiming your lips with a searing kiss, his hands gently cupping your face. You moaned as he sucked on your bottom lip, your fingers pulling against his shirt, wanting him closer. His lips molded against yours and you let out a sigh. You felt him stop and pull away abruptly. You opened your eyes, watching him tuck your hair away and caress your cheek. "It's -um- it's curfew so Filch might catch us." He looked away from you as he stood up. Embarassment coated your features. Why had you kissed him? He was dismissing you now. "I can accompany you to-" You walked away, emotionless before he could complete his sentence.

You lied on your bed, feeling utterly stupid for letting adrenaline control you. Yes he had saved you from Malcom, however, who knew he wasn't the same. But you had glimpsed his true nature back at the alcove. You turned in your sheets. That gave him no reason to treat you like that. First he let's you kiss him then asks you to leave? You were right to hate him.

James lied on his bed, having left the party sooner than the others. He couldn't bring himself to stop thinking about Y/n. The moment he saw her leave the party, he knew there was something wrong. Merlin, he wanted to hex Maclom's sorry arse so badly when he caught him hurting Y/n. His heart had shrunk when he saw her, always so confident and strong, crumble like that. And she had kissed him not long after. Merlin, her lips. James thought as he ran his hands down his face. He couldn't stop thinking of how delicately soft her lips had been. The way she grasped at his shirt and the sounds that her lovely mouth had made. It left him feeling rather aroused. And of course he had gone and ruined it by asking her to leave. But his conscience wouldn't let him, constantly reminding him that it was all a game. He heard the door of his dorm open. "Moony is that you? ” he mumbled. " Who else would it be?" He heard his friends smooth voice. "You left the party early, WHILE lily still remained, something is clearly wrong." Remus said as he sat on James' bed. Ah shit, he had entirely forgotten about Lily, since when did that happen? "I hit Malcom" James said evenly. "Malcom Smith?” Remus asked and James nodded. "He was hurting Y/n" James sighed. "Oh it's Y/n now not L/n?" Remus smirked. "Ugh sod off" James threw a pillow at him. As Remus was about to leave, he stopped, "Prongs, I think Y/n is a kind person and probably the best Slytherin apart from Andromeda and I don't think she deserves to be a pawn in your little game. Just think about it okay?” and closed the door behind him. James sighed in frustration. What had he gotten himself into?

Dead to Me [playlist] [tag] - 91,625 words - jily, angst, hurt/comfort

I saw a quote once that said: "How many times have I loved a thing, just because you loved it? Including me." This story is about love, but is not to be confused with a love story. It's about the love we should have had. The love we don't think we deserve. The crooked love we settle for. It is about how, in letting others love us, we learn to love ourselves.

Call and Response - 6,685 words - first war, hurt/comfort, minor jily

A series of vignettes showcasing how, despite his own personal tragedies, James Potter never fails to show up for the ones he loves – which might be his greatest strength and his greatest weakness. Set in a world where James and Lily never got together in school, the Marauders, now twenty, are fighting in the Order at the height of the war. Consider this my love letter to James “would have died rather than betray his friends,” “would have regarded it the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends,” “until the very end” Potter.

Jsgdhdhdhd man okay so I want to write a one on one scene with Jamie and Lily so I went back to read the scene with James and Albus and fuckin 😩 okay who fucking wrote this cuz I'm fucked up. Ugh. I'm definitely trying to show how affectionate James is with his family and that the whole masculinity thing isn't diminished from kissing his baby siblings on their foreheads and I hope I'm getting that across well. But man. I just love Jamie so much. And writing with Albus is so fucking fun.

Just UGGHHHH this bastard. I can't wait to post the next chapter cuz it's got more Albus, I need an excuse to write more of him with his siblings, on god. Nah but first the Lily scene, that one's important too. That's a loose end that needs tying up, especially after the skatepark thing. Baby girl probably feels fucking awful. Can't have that.

Just Us Now

from @jegulus-microfic's prompt, snitch (381 words)

eeee i'm actually really proud of this one for once!! it's the longest one i've written in a hot minute and i actually quite got into the writing so yayyy. CWs for bashing of popular characters (not james or reg), cheating, domestic violence, nondescript wounds

James stumbles to the familiar door, knocking hard on the dark wood. He’s going to kill whoever snitched on him to Lily. When the door opens, Regulus looks annoyed, and then his expression quickly turns to fear when he sees the state James is in.

“Fuck, baby, are you okay?” he asks in a rush, catching James before he falls and sitting him down in a chair in the kitchen. James merely lets out a groan. Regulus runs to the bathroom, gathering a towel, a bowl of water, bandages, and some antiseptic before sitting next to

James. “I’m here, and I’ll clean you up, but will you please tell me what happened?” James winces, both from the question, and from the sting of Regulus cleaning his wounds. Regulus gives him a concerned look, urging him to speak.

“Somebody,” James sucks in a breath from another sting. “Somebody ratted us out to Lily.” Regulus’ face falls. “It turns out she has a bit of a temper.” James tries to laugh and motion at himself, but finds it sends a whole new wash of pain through his face.

“That fucker,” Regulus says, venom dripping from his voice. He looks back up at James, his face soft once more. “I know who it was, baby,” he says as kind as he can. “But you won’t like it.” James tilts his head. “Who was the only person to know besides us?” The piece clicks in his brain. No. He wouldn’t.

“Sirius?” James breathes in disbelief.

“I know he tries to hide it from you, Jamie, but he’ll go to extreme lengths to hurt me.” James’ heart aches for Regulus at the admission he looks ashamed of. “I never thought he’d go so far as to hurt you too.” His voice trails off and becomes quieter as he continues on, tears welling in his eyes.

“Hey,” James says, lifting a hand to wipe at the tears. “If he did this, he’s dead to me, Regulus. Nobody is more important than you. It’s just us now, yeah?” Regulus looks at him, salty drops of water swimming in his icy eyes, wide with too many emotions for him to process. James smiles, and Regulus accepts the comfort. They’re both damaged that night, but they keep each other safe.

Forgive me for going off topic towards the end 😅

Prompt #13: Talking about the war

He walked into the living room to find Ginny curled up on the couch. The boys, as usual, were hyperactive before bed, and it wasn't easy getting them to sleep. 

Ginny was staring off into space, lost in thought.

The third pregnancy had been harder on her than the first two. The Harpies were in the semifinals when they found out, and Ginny wanted to finish the season. Healers allowed pregnant players to continue till the end of the first trimester.

Lily didn't want to sleep for long spells either, whether it was inside Ginny's belly or after being born. Being born the smallest of all three didn't help assuage Harry and Ginny's concerns either.

He sat next to her and brought his arms around her. She immediately sank into him.

He pressed a kiss to her temple. "She needs time to settle. The boys surely did."

"I know," she sighed, "I'm not worried about that." She let out a chuckle. "She looks just like Jamie when she sleeps."

Harry closed his eyes and hummed. Lily looked a lot like Ginny, except for the mouth and eyelashes, which all three had the same of. So when they were little, they all looked the same, more or less, except for the eyes.

"I want to write about the DA."

This made Harry open his eyes suddenly.

"I know we gave interviews and all that, but lately, I want to tell everyone the whole story. How shitty it was at Hogwarts, how Death Eaters aren't the best of teachers, well, except for Barty Crouch Junior," she joked, as if they weren't talking about the worst year of their lives.

"You sure?" Harry asked apprehensively. Memories of how she would retreat into a shell whenever that topic was brought up flooded him. That summer, Ginny made him promise that he wouldn't ever tell Molly and Arthur the full extent of what happened at Hogwarts.

She nodded, not meeting his eyes. He tilted her chin up with his forefinger. "You don't have to, you know. Just because the tenth anniversary is coming up - "

"I'm not going to lie. That is a big part of the reason. But it's not the only one. I think it's time everyone knows, and we can start learning from it. Parents wouldn't want their children to go through anything like that. So, people will listen to it," she said firmly.

"Nothing's going to happen to them," he said, sensing her fears.

She moved fully onto his lap, and Harry rested his head on her shoulder. "I just worry."

"Me too," he replied.

After a few moments or maybe hours, she said, "The Daily Prophet offered me a full-time job."

He kissed her collarbone. "You're going to finish that book first, aren't you?"

"Exactly," she sighed as his mouth moved to her neck.

"I'll take a break for the next six months, then."

She stopped him. "You don't have to."

"I'm Head Auror," he smirked. "I can do what I want. Besides, Ron is more than capable." He continued what Ginny paused.

"I'll be fine with the kids. I'll have time for the book, too," she threaded her hands through his hair and pulled his mouth to hers. Before Harry could kiss her, she smirked and moved to nip at his earlobe.

"Ginny…."

"Besides," she peppered kisses all over his face, intentionally missing the lips. "I want all three kids' first word to be mama."

He gripped her hips. "So that's your plan, Mrs Potter. I caught you red-handed."

"Yep," she popped the p. "What are you going to do about it, Head Auror?"

Before Harry could reply, Lily started crying, causing them to break apart.

"I'll go check on her," he said, and Ginny slid off.

"She still won't be saying dada first," she called after him.

He turned around and smirked, "We’ll see."

Until The Very End -(WITS Sequel)

Words: 2,310

Masterlist

Previous chapter // Next chapter

2010—2011

"That's not how dragons throw fires!" Emmeline squealed.

Harry looked up at the tree branch where his daughter was hanging and scowled. "Lin, I can't spit out fire, unless you want me to not talk ever again."

The toddler scrunched up her nose in the same way her mother used to when she was little. "Not that, daddy! I mean your head!"

Harry's confusion increased. "What do you mean?"

"Dragons don't raise their heads when they throw fire," Regulus walked out into the garden carrying James on one arm, the toddler was stuffing his face with biscuits. "They press to the ground, 'cause their targets are smaller than them."

It was the summer prior to Reg's fourth year at Hogwarts, and he was spending most of his free time at the Potter's house. He helped Mel and Harry with the kids when they were at work. Today, however, is Harry's thirtieth birthday.

Everyone had promised to pay a visit and celebrate together, but Mel was on the verge of getting her obscurial treatment project greenlit, so she was working even more than when she was researching for the werewolf cure, which leaves Reg and Harry to interact in a way they hadn't been able to in a long time.

"So I take your lessons with Hagrid are going well?" Harry grinned.

"They're my favourite! Apart from Charms, of course," Reg admitted, sneakily handing a biscuit to Emmeline as he approached her tree.

"Heard you're on your way to become the Captain of the duelling club," Harry raised a brow. "That's amazing, Mel is really proud of you."

"Yeah, mum is too. Says my dad was a good dueller."

"He was the best, he and my dad," Harry confirmed, then added quietly so Emmeline couldn't hear him. "Took advantage of it when they were younger, you know, in case that McLaggen kid tries to get the best of you."

Reg laughed. Whenever he did this, it kind of sounded like a bark. He had no way of knowing he inherited it from Sirius, but those who knew his father picked up on it as soon as they heard it.

"Dad!" Jamie swung his wooden sword around. "Matty and Lily woke up!"

They stayed silent for a second, the cries of Harry's younger children coming to them right away.

"Thank you, Jamie—Don't know how he does it, he's got super hearing," Harry chuckled, getting up from under the tree. "I'll go."

"No, no," Reg stopped him, putting James down and going back to the kitchen's entrance. "It's your birthday, let me do it."

"Looking after my kids isn't something I enjoy avoiding, you know?" Harry mused. 

"I know," the boy smirked. "But I rather deal with those two than the twins."

"Daddy, I'm stuck," Emmeline groaned in perfect timing, hanging upside down above her father's head. 

Mel fell on her bed groaning, absently rubbing her backside. "I'm starting to understand Fred a little, you know? Every family reunion we attend nowadays is packed with children..."

She rolled over and groaned again, so tired she couldn't bring herself to start changing into her night clothes.

"Am I allowed to ask how was work, or will you kill me if I bring it up tonight?" Harry teased her.

Mel glanced at him with the shadow of a smile. "You're a lost cause, Harry James Potter."

"Full name treatment?" He raised his brow. "What did I do?"

Mel pushed herself up to a sitting position. "Three whole decades and not a single one has been enjoyed at a proper pace, you just don't know how to relax, do you?"

"That's rich coming from you," he retorted, kicking off his shoes and crawling to her side.

"I'm a hard worker, that's different," Mel responded, kicking off her own shoes while he got closer. "I'd argue that I at least respect my birthdays."

"Mel, it's time you accept that my way of enjoying life is different from yours, that's all."

The woman eyed him sceptically. "Please, do elaborate."

"I don't enjoy my job, not exactly. I find it gratifying, that I catch dark wizards before they can do real damage, before they can ruin the world we built for our kids. Which brings me..." he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her in. "To you."

"Me?"

"I know I ask you about work a lot," he continued happily. "But if I'm honest, I don't care about your job. You could be a stay-at-home parent and I would still ask about your day, 'cause it's my favourite part of our life together."

Mel frowned. "Really?"

"When we were twelve," he explained, casually helping Mel out of her robes. "I realized that life didn't feel right without your squeaky ramblings buzzing over my ear every day."

"Hey," Mel hit his chest, laughing. "Rude!"

"I'm going somewhere with this, let me finish!" He pressed, catching her wrist before she could push him away.

"Get on with it, then!"

"Well, then we started to spend more time apart, and when the bad times came... part of my comfort was knowing that I'd be the one who would die and not you, a life without your ramblings was a life not worth living."

Mel stared at him, her throat tightening against her will. "Harry..." she whispered. "Don't say that."

He kissed her palm. "I've always admired you for the way you handled everything. I saw it in your eyes that night, Mel, you had come to terms with it," he sighed. "I could never. I would've kept my promise 'til the last moments of the war, but not a moment after."

She spoke quietly, lovingly brushing his hair back. "You say that now 'cause you know you'll never have to do that, but just like you told me, you would've found someone else too."

Harry shook his head, pushing himself up and reaching for one of his shirts so Mel could change into it. "Like I'd be capable of forgetting that easily..."

"I wouldn't be forgetting..."

"My point is..." the man tossed the discarded clothes out of the bed and dressed his wife with gentle hands. "Hearing about your work it's a daily reminder that I'm living my dreams."

"Having a dull life was your dream?" Mel teased him.

"A life with you is never dull," Harry shrugged, then smirked. "Though I wouldn't hate it if you buy me a Quidditch team for Christmas."

"I'm sorry, sir, can you repeat that?"

"Mel, I never repeat myself, let alone when I know I've been heard," Mr Greengrass stated.

"If you wish to retire, I understand," she continued, still not able to breathe right. "But risking to sound rude, Mr Greengrass... Have you lost your mind?"

The man showed a big smile—the first one since she'd met him—and spoke in a bemused tone. "Miss Dumbledore, you are quite rude," he looked at her pointedly. "But only with yourself."

Mel sputtered out a reply and stopped, looking at him wide-eyed. "You just offered me your position in the Department of Mysteries, what am I supposed to do?"

The man looked away as if pondering her question. "Well, I'd start by moving the stuff from your desk to mine."

Mel laughed—with incredulity—and shook her head. "With all due respect, sir, there are Unspeakables here with more years of experience—"

"Other Unspeakables," he interrupted her, "lack your integrity, your intelligence, and your commitment to our cause. I've known, for twelve years now, that your heart is stronger than your magic, which is a good thing in our line of work. What we do here isn't just tinkering with ancient powers, and you..."

Mr Greengrass stood up and placed both hands on his desk, eyes shining.

"You care about making existence a beautiful experience for all kinds. You're the change the department so desperately needs."

Before Mel could argue, the old man raised a hand to stop her and brushed it off.

"Save it. I'm an old man, holding to my position any longer would rot the whole place. Better step out before I lose my good streak," he chuckled. "Do you know, out of all the good work I've done during my entire career, the one thing people bring out the most is your hiring?"

Mel laughed, feeling lots of gratitude. "I don't know what to say..."

"Say yes," he sighed, going back to his seat. "Some people might not like this, but no one with a good head on their shoulders would question your promotion, not after all you've done in the last decade."

"What about Erick Flint?" Mel questioned. "He's my equal in all the ways that matter. He ought to be considered for the spot too."

"Oh, he was," the man raised a brow. "Unfortunately for you, Mrs Dumbledore, he threatened to quit if I didn't choose you as my successor. But between you and I," he lowered his voice. "I know he's quitting anyway."

Mel smiled. Erick was planning to open a shop with Anne in Diagon Alley, but she thought that maybe he would reconsider if Mr Greengrass offered him his position. However, not even the chance to boss Mel around was enough to distract him from his own projects. 

Worse yet, now he'd be able to say he heroically rejected a job so Mel could get it, and he would definitely be insufferable about it for the rest of their lives.

Mel sat on her desk quietly, she could feel Erick's eyes on her, but she ignored him the whole time until their lunch hour.

"You're coming?" She asked, getting up from her chair.

Erick jumped out of his seat and hastily grabbed his stuff. "Yeah."

Mel conversed with him about everything except Mr Greengrass, and she was having a great time torturing him, seeing his expression get tenser the more she stalled. 

They found Ron, Hermione and Harry eating in the corner of their favourite cafeteria. Mel approached them and Erick followed, almost vibrating with expectation.

"Did you know Reggie won the duelling match last Tuesday?" She asked the whole group.

A stream of compliments and cheers came after that, from all except Erick, who loudly dragged his chair back and pushed his plate away. "Come on, Mel, spit it out!"

The group of friends stared at him in shock, but Mel started cackling.

"What's up with you two?" Ron frowned.

"Nothing, just Erick being his usual nosy self," Mel mused.

"I'm your best friend!" He argued.

"Oh, so that's what you want me to say?" Mel raised a brow, still laughing. "You want me to tell the others how generous you are, Prince? Like I don't know you weren't going to take the job in the first place!"

"Did you take it?" Erick asked eagerly.

"Two things," Ron intervened, lifting his fork and pointing it at Erick. "I'm Mel's best friend, you git. Second," he pointed his fork at Mel. "If you don't explain what's going on before the hour ends, I'll force-feed you veritaserum."

"Ron don't go around saying that!" Hermione scolded him. "What would people think if they heard an Auror threatening to misuse their resources?"

"They would think he's an idiot, trying to force-feed Mel Dumbledore anything," Harry responded with a grin. Then he turned his attention back to Mel and Erick. "So what's going on, then?"

"Mel got offered the position of Head of our department."

"What!"

"Are you joking?"

"What?" Harry looked at his wife in surprise. "And what did you say?"

Mel kicked Erick's leg under the table. "He's getting ahead of things! Mr Greengrass is retiring, yes, and he said he would like me to take his spot, but—"

Ron lifted his fork again, now with a carrot in it, to shut her up. "No buts! You're taking it!"

Mel was aghast. "I can't be the Head of the department!"

"So you could be Head Auror at nineteen but you can't be Head Unspeakable at thirty?" Erick taunted her. "I thought you'd grown out of being exasperating..."

"She takes breaks more often than before, but she hasn't quit it," Hermione joined his teasing. "Mel, this is silly, you deserve the position."

Mel fidgeted with her wand, sinking into her chair. "Being Head Auror was easy 'cause it wasn't so different from what I'd been doing back then... this is not the same."

"You'll get to review all projects, of each room in the Department of Mysteries," Erick counted. "Mel, this has been your dream since you were fifteen."

"But you're quitting this year," she frowns. "What if I discover that I hate the position? What if it turns out to be restraining, or I lose my mind a little like my uncle and—"

"You can change the rules, if they don't work there's no reason to keep them," Harry argued. "You told me that when I took your place. But after all you've been through, I doubt you'll be like Dumbledore, mostly 'cause you've learned from past mistakes, his and yours."

Mel heaved a sigh, running a hand through her hair. "A higher rank means less free time, less chances to go out and enjoy the kids..."

"I'll keep an eye on you, we all will," Harry assured her. "If you overdo it, we'll let you know. As Head Auror I'll be in the same meetings as you, I'll see you more often this way, like old times, don't you miss that?"

"I see you every day at home, so not really."

Erick and Ron snorted and laughed. Harry pouted a little. "Sometimes I wonder if you married me out of pity."

"Give it a try, Mel," Hermione patted her hand encouragingly. "We'll be right here if it doesn't work."

"I can always employ you as my secretary if you get fired," Erick joked.

Mel glared at him in annoyance and flicked his nose. "You should quit already."

"Ouch!" He turned back to Harry while rubbing his nose. "You know, sometimes I wonder if she's my friend out of obligation, too."

"Well, anyway, I hope you take the job," Hermione concluded. "You deserve it, and we're all supportive—it's great news."

Harry looked at her trying to convey all the sincerity and love he was feeling. "Whatever comes out of it, we'll manage."

Mel only smiled in response, stealing a piece of chicken from Ron's plate.

"Oh, and just to clarify," Hermione added, looking at Erick and Ron. "I'm Mel's best friend."

Could you please write something for possessive James

Rating: T Ship: James/Sirius Summary: After a run in with Sirius under the mistletoe, James has a crisis about his feelings for his best friend.

(I don't know why I made it Christmas... I'm sorry?) _

James hated Christmas. It felt like blasphemy to say after years of it being his favourite holiday, but this year it just couldn’t be helped. The reason for his sudden change of heart was one Sirius Black, as was to be expected with any great decision James made in his life. The problem was that for the first time in their four year friendship, James had come to realise that he was a little bit in love with his best friend, which was just great. As if Sirius’ ego needed another boost. 

It wasn’t enough that the whole damn school had to be in love with him, but now James was as well?!

The injustice of it all. 

Usually around Christmas time, James could be found trailing Lily in an attempt to try and catch her under the mistletoe, but he’d never been successful. She was too quick, but last time he’d nearly managed it. However, Sirius had barged into him and knocked him out of the way. Sirius had apologised for his clumsiness, and Lily had disappeared around the corner before James could chase after her, leaving James and Sirius stuck under the festive plant. 

And that was where it all began.

The kiss had been chaste, a bid for freedom from the magical plant more than anything else. It wasn’t meant to be life-changing or magical, just a quick peck between friends and then they’d move on with their day. Sirius would continue complaining about all the birds who tried to snog him around Christmas, and James would continue his flirtations with Lily. 

That was not what happened. 

Instead, James fixated on the moment, the scratch of stubble against his chin, the softness of Sirius’ lips, the tickle of his long black hair on James’ cheeks. He imagined what it might have been like if they were lovers instead of friends, would Sirius have deepened the kiss? Would James have let him? Yes. Absolutely. There would be no more rants in the common room about mistletoe or love potions. Sirius would sit with his head in James’ lap, their fingers intertwined as they smiled brightly at each other. 

They could be together. 

The realisation had hit James like a herd of hippogriffs, and now he was stuck with a crush that he didn’t know what to do with. Flirting with Lily was easy. He’d been doing it since he was eleven and too young to care about rejection. Flirting with Sirius was impossible. Everything he tried with Lily, James already did with Sirius as friends… minus the kissing and the dates. But even then they sort of did have dates. Wormtail and Moony both knew to leave the pair of them alone every so often. They would get grumpy if they didn’t get any quality time together. 

Fucking Merlin.

It was like they were already dating, and James didn’t know how to move forward from that. All he knew is that everyone kept flirting with his Sirius, and he did not like it one bit. So he’d decided that he hated Christmas until he could fix this mess. 

If he could fix this mess. 

“Bloody hell, Prongs,” Sirius grumbled as he vaulted through the portrait, his scarlet robes billowing behind him. “Jessica Vane almost caught me earlier. I swear between Valentines and Christmas, I’m running out of time. The harpies are going to chain me down one of these days. Damn holidays get worse every year.”

James just glared at his friend, well not really at Sirius. His rage was directed at those who were trying to steal Sirius from him, but they weren’t here and Sirius was. “Can’t you just tell them to fuck off?”

“Woah there, Jamie. That’s a bit violent, even for you, not to mention a bit hypocritical. Isn’t this exactly what you keep doing with Evans?”

James flinched. Yes. It was true, but he’d not bothered her since the beginning of the month, since his kiss with Sirius, and the school holidays were almost upon them. “Kept. Past tense.”

“Is the great James Potter finally admitting defeat?”

“Shut it, Pads.”

“Merlin, you’re in a mood today,” Sirius teased before flopping down onto the sofa and into James’ lap, his hair fanning out over James’ legs. “What’s got your wand in a knot?”

“Bloody Jessica Vane. No. All of them. Why is it that the girls of Hogwarts all lose their collective mind over Christmas?”

“Some boys too,” added Sirius as he smirked up at James, silver eyes sparkling. 

“It’s stupid. You’re too good for any of them.”

There was a beat of silence as Sirius peered up at him, his eyes narrowed and calculating. “Is that right?”

“Yes.”

“And who? My dearest Prongs, would you deem good enough for me? Or am I doomed to be a spinster whilst you marry Evans?”

“I’m not marrying Evans,” James snapped. “And you’re not going to be a spinster. You have me.”

“Ah, so a bachelor pad?” 

Urgh. James groaned. Why was Sirius being so impossible? All the teasing and the laughter usually had James in a good mood, but today it just angered him. His jaw clenched and Sirius was pushed to the floor. Before he could listen to Sirius’ protest, James had fled the room. He marched up the stairs to the dorms and pulled the curtains of his four poster bed shut behind him. 

The next day started off just about the same. His bad mood had not faded overnight, and on the journey from the common room to the Great Hall, Sirius had ducked out of the way of no less than three bunches of mistletoe. To make matters worse, Lily decided to corner James after breakfast in the courtyard. 

“Out with it, Potter,” she said, one hand on her hip and her eyes gleaming emerald. “Not that I don’t welcome the break, but what changed your mind?”

James just grunted, but his eyes flashed to Sirius before he could stop them, and Lily Evans wasn’t known as the brightest witch of her age for no reason. 

“Oh, I see.” She clapped him on the shoulder. “Well, good luck, Potter, and remind me to send Black a thank you note.”

“Shut it,” grumbled James, his cheeks aflame. “Oh for the love of!”

In the few minutes that James had been separated from his best friend, the harpies had descended. Sirius was rolling his eyes and smirking at his suitors, but it was clear they were being kept at a distance. 

Only James couldn’t help but remember Sirius’ words from the day before. It was only a matter of time before Sirius chose one, or was chained down in his own words, and that just wouldn’t do. 

“Would you all just piss off?!” James roared as he approached the centre of the courtyard. “He’s not interested. He’ll never be interested. Get over him!”

Silver eyes flashed up, one perfectly sculpted brow raising at him. 

James didn’t think. There wasn’t time. He took Sirius’ face in his hands, and crashed their lips together. Sirius wasted no time in kissing him back with the same fierce passion, the pair of them lost in each other until they heard Remus and Peter whistling at them. James reluctantly pulled back, his fingers trailing from Sirius’ cheek to rest at the nape of his neck. 

“Mine,” he whispered as he pressed their foreheads together. 

Sirius chuckled, his breath warm against James’ skin. “I always have been, you idiot. Nice of you to catch up.”

“Mine,” James repeated, pouting at his friend. 

“Yours,” agreed Sirius before capturing James’ lips in another kiss. 

Mistletoe had sprung up around them, and for the first time that year, James didn’t care. Perhaps Christmas wasn’t so bad after all.

[toomanyfictionalboyfriends]

A/N: so this is my first fic I'm posting on Tumblr, I'm super nervous and excited for any response at all and any feedback of any kind. Usually I write "x reader" fics but I've been on prongsfoot lately and I couldn't find any shipfics I liked so I wrote my own.

James had the perfect relationship with Lily, so it comes as a huge surprise when she wants to break up. Will there be bad blood between her and his friends or is this for good reason?

"S'okay, Jamie." Although shorter, Sirius manages to coax James' head to rest on his shoulder as he rubs mindless circles on the taller boy's back.

"James, I think it'd probably be beneficial to both of us if we broke up. I really like you and I know you like me but I just don't think we're right for each other. I hope you understand. I wanted to tell you in person but I just haven't been able to find you today." James reads aloud, a dejected frown falling into place over his charming smile. He'd been thrilled to receive a letter from his girlfriend, well, ex-girlfriend. "I hope we can remain friends though. I'll always hold a place in my heart for you, my first boyfriend, James Potter. Love always, Lily." He carefully tucks the letter into his bag, letting Sirius hug him tight against his chest.

"Come on guys, we've got to get to class." Remus says, placing a hand on either of their shoulders, gently guiding them apart.

"I'll see you after class. Love you." Sirius gives James one final squeeze before letting him go.

"Love you back." James responds as the three of them head off in separate directions.

"LILY. JADE. EVANS." Sirius bellows, barreling down the hallway towards the redhead.

"Sirius. Has James gotten my lett-"

"Yeah, he got your bloody letter. For someone who claimed to love him, you sure broke his heart. Why'd you do it?" He cuts her off.

"You daft dolt. Remus was right, the two of you are so ignorant. I broke up with him because all he ever did was talk about you, Sirius. He loves you." Lily can't help the chuckle that escapes her lips. She'd spoken with Remus about this a week ago, nervous as all hell to break up with James because she knew how Sirius could be and she really didn't want to hurt James.

"Of course he loves me, we're best friends."

"No, Sirius. I mean he really loves you. He talks about how incredible you are nonstop, how badass and cool you are. How he wishes he was more like you. 'And you should have seen him, Lily, I'm not kidding he looked like he was kissed by Merlin himself. Godric, he's like, practically perfect.' All the time, Sirius."

“You’re implying Potter’s in love with me?” Sirius seems a little dumbfounded by her accusation.

“I’m simply stating my observations, and I know you’re in love with him too, Sirius. You look at him like he’s hung the moon. It’s very sweet, and it was selfish of me to get in the middle of things. I do hope you’ll forgive me, for everything, for hurting James and getting between the two of you. Seeing him look at you and hearing him talk about you the way he does, I just couldn’t continue to keep you apart. I think you guys should talk. I really hope I’ve made the best choice for all of us and I hope we can remain friends.” Lily’s tone has gone from teasing to sincere.

“I- I don’t know what to say, Lils.” Sirius begins and he sounds like he might honestly burst into tears at any given moment.

“A simple thank you will suffice, I have to get to class and so do you.” Sirius lunges forward as she speaks, capturing her in a hug.

“Thanks, Lily.” Lily chuckles and gives his back a rough pat, Sirius has always been a weird one with affection.

*After class, back in their dorm. James is at quidditch practice*

"Yeah, I know, Sirius, you guys have been in love since we were 11. She asked me a week ago what I thought. I told her she should do whatever her heart tells her is right, she's a much better person than I." Remus peers over the top of his book at Sirius, sitting on the floor at his feet.

"Do you really think he's in love with me, Moony?" Sirius rests his chin on Remus' knee. His usual cockiness is nowhere to be found, lost in the swirling storm of emotions.

"I think you're a bloody idiot to not see it." He pats his friend on the head, musing his pre-tousled hair.

"Oi I'm in the shower if you wankers need the loo." James kicks open the door to their dorm, dropping his quidditch bag by the foot of his bed.

"Put it away, not down." Remus reprimands.

"Bugger off, Moons, M'tired." James scoffs, kicking at the bag as he puts his broom up.

"I'll get it." Sirius stands, picking up the bag and delivering a soft kiss to James' cheek. "Go shower, sweaty boy. I wanna cuddle, you had a long day."

"Thanks, Pads. Love you."

"Love you back." The bag is placed neatly on the hook next to James' school bag. Sirius sits in front of Remus again.

"Bloody daft, I tell you." Remus shakes his head, though a nearly imperceptible smirk settles on his lips.

"I'll talk to him about it later, he's had a long day, m'just being nice to the poor boy." Sirius immediately jumps to defend himself.

"Sure Sirius, come here, let me give you a kiss." His book is finally lowered, his thumb tucked between the pages.

"Ew, no you weirdo."

"You kissed Prongs, no problem. Why not me?"

"Just hush would you? I said I'd talk to him about it." Sirius lets out a whine, closing his eyes.

The water from the shower stops and Sirius jumps up from the floor and makes himself comfortable under the blankets of James' bed. James exits the bathroom, curly hair still dripping wet down his face. Toweling off his hair James sits on the edge of his bed, facing Remus. "You gonna give me a hard time if I cuddle Si?"

"Think he wanted to cuddle as Pads anyway." Remus points to the spot Sirius occupied. Now, there lays a large black dog with beautiful, thick, black fur. It cocks its head to the side and smiles at the two boys. "Always gotta give Pads cuddles."

"Good." James crawls into bed next to the dog and situates himself before letting the dog lay across his chest with his wet nose against James' neck. He lets out a heavy sigh and before long his breathing evens into snores. Sirius shifts back once he's sure James isn't going to wake up, his leg falling between James' and the other resting on the outside of his hip. He softly kisses James' jaw while threading his fingers carefully through his tangly curls, careful not to wake him.

"Talk to him." Remus flicks off his lamp and climbs into bed himself. "Goodnight."

*The next morning*

“Hey, pretty boy, wakey wakey.” James gently shakes Sirius. He snores again, softly, leading James to card his fingers through Sirius’ jet black mane. He peppers kisses all over his face, giggling lightly as he does so, hoping to wake the smaller boy gently. Finally, Sirius stirs, groaning into James’ neck. “Good morning, sunshine.” James smiles, brushing the back of his hand against Sirius’ cheek.

“Morning, Jamie.” Sirius can’t help but smile into the bare skin of James’ shoulder, pressing a gentle kiss there as he does.

“Hey, I spoke with Remus before he left this morning. He said there was something you needed to tell me?” James makes Sirius look at him as he speaks.

“Uh, yeah, I do need to tell you but I want to start with this. You know I’ll always love you, Jamie, right?” Sirius sits up, off James’ chest and next to him instead.

“Of course, Pads, what is it? Is it about you?”

“Kinda. It’s about me and Lily and you. I like you, James, as more than a friend. And I guess Lily could see that too. However, she said she thought you might like me in the same way. And if you don’t, Jamie, that’s totally fine, nothing has to change and if knowing how I feel makes you uncomfortable we can stop cuddling and all that stuff and you can get back together with Lily. She just said she wanted to give us a chance because you speak so highly of me. Which honestly could be just because you’re a great fri-”

“Sirius?” James interrupts Sirius’ rambling, a bright smile painted on his face.

“Yeah?” His breath catches in his throat and it comes out sort of broken.

“I’m going to kiss you now, is that okay?” Sirius doesn’t answer James’ question verbally but with a nod. “Verbal confirmation, Siri.”

“Please.” It’s a good enough confirmation for James. James’ rough, calloused, quidditch-worn fingers slide delicately to cup the soft skin of Sirius’ well-moisturized cheek. He lets his thumb catch his bottom lip and regardless of the fact that they had just woken up, Sirius’ lips look soft as ever.

“Forgive me, for not kissing you straight away, I’m trying to keep my composure. And you look quite beautiful, all bedhead and sitting here, wrapped in my blankets.” James’ fingers slide into Sirius’ hair at the nape of his neck as he speaks.

“James if you don’t kiss me in the next ten seconds I’m going to lose my bloody mind.” Sirius begs with a pretty pout.

“Ten… Nine…” James begins counting down, a teasing lilt in his voice.

“I’ll take it back. Everything I said.”

“Five…” James stops counting and pulls Sirius an inch away from his face. “You wouldn’t dare.” Before Sirius is given a proper chance to respond James’ lips are on his.

Sirius never understood what people meant when they said kissing felt like fireworks when he kissed people it always felt like popcorn or at the most maybe a sparkler. But this, kissing James, he finally understands. It feels like lights, bright and colorful behind his eyes a deafening boom in his chest behind his ribs. It feels like a molotov cocktail going off, lighting every part of him on fire, entirely all-consuming and he doesn’t want it to stop. He wonders if kissing James would always feel like this, always so exhilarating. James thought he understood but clearly, he had it wrong. He thought of his first kiss with Lily and how the sparks of gold flashed through him, causing him to get temporarily lost in the sensation. But after that first time, it never happened again… was it supposed to? It felt like the rush had gone away, the newness of it wore off and it was just a thing he was doing to do. But kissing Sirius feels like the finale at a muggle firework show in America that his parents had taken him and Sirius to once. It feels like his heart is going to burst, the pounding against his ribs violent as they keep coming, barely a pause as ten or twelve of them light up his brain at once just as they would the sky. As he pulls away James finds himself wondering two things. Would kissing Sirius always be so fulfilling and could he hear the residual booming in his chest too?

“Love you.” Sirius mumbles quietly against James’ lips.

“Love you back.” James responds, kissing him again, quickly this time. “Shall we get dressed and have breakfast?”

“Can’t I have you for breakfast?” Sirius smirks, looking up at James as he stands.

“Cheeky, love. No, you cannot. I think Moony’s waiting for us anyway. I will give you another kiss if you get up and get dressed though.” James slips on a black t-shirt and a pair of khaki pants from his wardrobe before sitting back on his bed to put on his socks and shoes. Sirius stumbles out of James' bed and stands in front of his wardrobe instead of his own.

“Jamie, can I wear your quidditch sweater?” He holds the maroon and gold sweater up to his body, eyeing himself in the full-length mirror. “Think it would look alright with my cargo pants or better with my dickies?”

“Haven't even told you that you could wear it yet.” James chuckles.

“I know, but in case you do say yes.” Sirius spins around to face James who looks lovingly at him back, he couldn’t say no if he wanted to.

“Think your arse looks better in the dickies. You can wear it.” James grins, cheeky bastard. Sirius slips out of his sleep pants and tosses them onto James' bed. Pulling on his dickies he turns his backside to the mirror.

"You think so?"

"I do. Hurry now." James gathers their bags, and pulls Sirius' docs out from under his bed. "You've been collecting sticks again haven't you?"

"I have, but that's not important. Jamie?"

"Pads." Sirius draws James' attention.

"What are we now?" He cautiously slips James' sweater over his head and scoops his hair into a bun, letting his bangs hang at the sides of his face.

"Suppose, if you'd like, I'd call you my boyfriend." James replies casually.

"Really?" Sirius whirls around to face James.

"Mhm. Why not?" Sitting his shoes in front of him James places a hand on Sirius' shoulder. "Sirius, I wouldn't just kiss you like that if we were just friends. I mean, we've always kissed on the cheek but like you said, you really like me and I talk about you all the time. You can think about it if you need to but I'd be honored to call you my boyfriend."

"I think I'd really like that, James." Sirius slips into his boots before he gives James a hug. "You'd be honored to call me your boyfriend?"

"The one and only, Sirius Black, all mine." James kisses his temple, nosing at the soft black hair framing his face. "We should probably go now though. Moony'll think we're screwing." Reluctantly Sirius lets go and follows James to the Great Hall, his hand safely tucked inside James' pocket.

"Morning Moons." Sirius greets Remus with a wide smile.

"Morning. Since when do you play quidditch?" Remus' eyebrows lift, he hadn't expected them to actually speak about it, he'd expected Sirius to beat around the bush some more.

"Oh it's not mine, Prongs let me borrow it." As Sirius speaks James removes their interlocked hands from his pocket.

"Remus, I'd like to introduce you to my boyfriend, Sirius. Sirius, this is one of my best mates, Remus."

"Oi, cut the crap, you're f'real?" Remus asks through a mouthful of toast.

"Kissed him twice this morning." Sirius states proudly. "You heard it here first folks, Sirius Black is officially off the market." There's a few groans from a couple of girls but they're probably just to fuel his ego.

"Get y'self some breakfast, pretty boy." James motions for him to sit down before he does.

"Well I'm glad you wankers worked that out. Bloody miserable listenin to yous. 'Sirius blah blah this' and 'James yada yada that'. M'happy for yous." Remus gives his friends a genuine smile before he continues eating like nothing has changed, because in reality, all that's changed is their title.

Quidditch Queens by Hermione_Stranger [Cho/Ginny, E, 2.5k] 🌶

Ginny and Cho decide to settle who the Queen of Quidditch around Hogwarts really is with a magically binding wager.

Snowdrops and Dahlias by @thejilyship [fem!James/Lily, G, 2.3k] 🌹

Jamie has been looking forward to traversing about the greenhouse for a while now, but almost as soon as she walks in, her plans are derailed.

Bellatrix Black is a well respected archer, although she has retired from shooting competitively. Hermione Granger is a young archer who is looking for someone who can help her with her training for an up and coming competition.

The White Doe by @inmyownlittlecorner5 [Eileen Prince/Sybil Trelawney, T, 2.3k]

The white doe haunts Eileen's dreams, and Eileen is just mad enough to follow

A Place to Fall by @thesleepiesthufflepuff [Pansy/Ginny, E, 2.1k] 🌹 🌶

A month ago, Pansy would have laughed at the idea of dating Ginny Weasley, Seeker for the Holyhead Harpies and one of Britain’s most well-respected Quidditch players. Now, she supposes, things are different.

Narcissa introduces her (definitely a pureblood) girlfriend to her parents.

So, today is my birthday (Woohoo! Jumps for joy then remembers I'm getting older and goes to mope in the corner), and instead of the usual way things go, I thought it would be fun to share a gift with you...

A one-shot rec list! 🥳

Here are 15 one-shots, all under 10k words, one for each day in June leading up to my birthday. We've got some scorching Drarry, some juicy rare pairs, and some spectacular femslash. Please enjoy this list, ordered by ship (kinda).

🌼 - fluff | 💔 - angst | 🔥 - smut | 👀 - mind the tags

—

1. Not Nineteen Forever by @sorrybutblog [Draco/Harry, 5.9k, E] 🌼🔥 De-aged Draco and Auror Harry's first time together is sexy, sweet, and the pining is so gloriously good. And when Draco is "offering up my young, nubile body for you to ravish." Lord...

2. Interpersonal Relationships Year 7, Unit 3: How to Have Sex Like a Responsible Adult by InnerLilith [Draco/Harry, 7.4k, E] 🌼 🔥 Listen... enthusiastic consent is hot and never has it been more hot than in this fic where Draco is the sex education teacher at Hogwarts and Harry is trying not to get a boner in his class.

3. A Cold Spot in Hell by FeelsForBreakfast [Draco/Harry, 8.1k, E] 💔 🔥 The summary describes this story as "sexy arson," and I can't help but fervently agree. There's a whole lot of fire, a whole lot of angst, and you'll be wanting more the whole time.

4. My Boyfriend by @acnelli [Harry/Ron, 7.3k, E] 🌼 💔 This story will break your heart and put it back together again. If you weren't a Rarry shipper before reading this, you will be after because it is just that gorgeously written.

5. The Things We Do in the Daylight by chewysugar [Hermione/Harry/Ron, 1.5k, M] 🌼 🌤 A super sweet morning-after story. I just love how loving the Golden Trio are with each other, how awkward yet so right they are together.

6. And If I Had To Choose by flipflop_diva [Hermione/Pansy, 3.7k, M] 🌼 💞 A Pansmione soulmate fic from the very recent @femmefest 2022. This fic is so cute and the interactions between Pansy and Hermione are so in character. It was a delight from start to finish.

7. Shades of Dawn by @corvuscrowned [Lavender/Ginny, 2.6k, E] 💔 🔥 The day I stop rec'ing this fic is the day the world ends because I will NEVER stop sharing this beautiful, amazing, heart-wrenching fic. The conflict and the longing between Lavender and Ginny get me every time I read this. It is absolutely perfect.

8. Elemental by @solar-settings [Katie/Alicia, Katie/Leanne, Katie/Ginny, Katie/Cho, 1.7k, T] 💔 💫 Honestly, this is one of my favorite fics of all time. Katie is so beautifully written, and the way she experiences love at different points in her life is simply stunning.

9. keeping count (losing count) by @oliverwvvd [Marcus/Oliver, 1.2k, T] 🌼 💋 Flintwood has been gradually creeping up into my top ships, and this fic is one of the reasons why. Marcus's anxiety and Oliver's tenderness. Sides of these scared boys that we rarely get to see. So short, yet so memorable.

10. Mourning Myrtle by Contrarian_Hedgehog [Moaning Myrtle, 1.7k, T] 💔 💧 A haunting, dark comedy about Myrtle following her death. The prose is beautiful, and the story is even better. It was instantly one of my favorite gen fics as soon as I read it.

11. Brighten the Dark by @skeptiquewrites [Regulus/Harry, 3.3k, E] 💔 🔥 A young Regulus resurrected from the veil and post-war Harry stuck at Grimmauld Place together? Yes, please. The banter and back and forth between them is glorious. As is the dash of feels and underlying tension of why did Regulus come back but no one else?

12. Take Heed, Dear Heart by @danni-the-puff [Harry/Severus, 3.6k, M] 💔 👀 Genderswapped Snarry! It's dark, it's creepy, and yet, the absolute devotion they have for each other kept me glued to every word. The way every character is written and the story is woven through canon (but not quite canon) is masterful.

13. Height Difference by @thistlecatfics [Sirius/Remus, 437, G] 🌼 😂 This story is pure ridiculousness, and I am in love with it. Remus is tall, like very tall, like very very very tall. We all need a tall Remus in our life XD

14. Lit Match by @phantomato [Alecto/Lily, 1.9k, E] 💔 🔥 The first and only fic I've read with this pairing that instantly converted me. Lily's character is so rich and a little morally ambiguous. Canon compliant, and yes, I could see this as canon because it's so good.

15. turning point by @duplicitywrites [Tom/Voldemort, 8.7k, E] 🔥 👀 A self-cest PWP Tom Riddle fic that is... I don't even have words for how hot and intriguing this fic is. Because we all know that Tom Riddle could only love himself ;)

BONUS FIC (>10k): Miraculous by @liladiurne [Harry/Severus, 15.5k, E] 🌼 🔥 I'm a sucker for escort fics, and this one is fluffy while also being sooo hot. I love this Snape, insecure, cynical, rich. He has the perfect life but still doesn't have what he truly wants — Harry.

A Healthy Glow

“Why the fuck are you glowing?”

Dean looked down at his torso, and sure enough— “Oh!”

“But seriously,” said Seamus, “why is your heart—”

Hermione cleared her throat. “It says here, after casting the spell, when in the presence of one’s soulmate—”

“Seamus!” Dean yelled, sounding panicked. “You’re glowing too!”

Apologies

CW: explicit For the wonderful @crazybutgood. This um turned out more explicit than I intended. I hope you don’t mind ;)

Ron should probably mind more that Viktor caught the Snitch right from under Ron’s nose.

But it’s hard to be upset when Viktor always apologises so sweetly.

“Say it again,” Ron orders, rocking his hips.

Under him, Viktor moans. “I’m s-sorry.”

“Good.” Ron lowers himself, finally letting Viktor slide inside.

My #1 post of 2022

Day 14: Dat Ass

Draco/Harry, M, 100 words For Day 14: @hdcandyheartsfest’s love letters + @drarrymicrofic's euphoria Also on AO3.

A haiku, from Draco to Harry:

Dat ass though, it is firmly the most gorgeous ass to ever exist.

Draco shakes his head and crosses out the first draft. Something isn’t right.

Your backside, it is plumper than peaches, sweeter than honey. Lovely.

Hmm… nope. Something is still missing. Draco crumbles the piece of parchment and tosses it carelessly on the ground.

Your arse is perfect; I cannot live without it. Please, sit on my face.

Oh, yes. Perfect. Draco attaches it to his owl’s leg and sends it on its way.

Now all he has to do is wait.

[rinisbowen]

would love to hear what the trailer has changed about what you thought would happen this season and what the trailer has enforced for you

hi anon! thanks for the ask. this is the last one before i'm done clearing out my inbox which is cool i suppose. if anyone has more questions (trailer related or not) feel free to send them in!

so what the trailer has changed for me... well a LOT has changed in the last few months for me in terms of what's happening in the season. but for the trailer specifically...

no phones aka no facetiming- (or texting) this is one of the bigger ones, honestly. i was expecting them to use facetime a lot this season, given the fact that seb, big red, and nini, (and lily, but she's less of a priority there), are all not going to be at camp, and i assumed that this would be how they connected them the most. but at this point it's just letters- they can't even text each other. i hope to see some letter writing or receiving going on. a good letter can be a great time. but i mean seb's at prom, so maybe big red is too. we shall see. and at least i'd anticipate the two of them to come see frozen at the end of the season. we'll see. the phone thing surprised me a LOT, bc they'd facetimed a lot in season 2, so it made sense to me it would carry into this season particularly with the main cast in a different location.

ej is the DIRECTOR. listen- i was expecting him to be a counselor since we got the first look. the promo photo(s) have since affirmed that, now it's confirmed. but- the DIRECTOR? not exactly something i anticipated whatsoever. he's just graduated high school- why is he going to be the first person to direct frozen at a summer camp ever? this is probably the biggest piece of news we received from that trailer. i have complicated feelings about this- but it's pretty cool for him! so go ej truly.

maddox is a counselor- i assumed she'd be a camper from her description (i think everyone did), but well- her badge says "c.i.t." aka counselor-in-training. so she's a counselor. idk if ej and val are counselors or cit's themselves, but truly it doesn't matter much from where i'm standing. i'm kinda shocked. this doesn't influence much for me? but it was for sure a surprise when she came out to collect everyone's electronics and snacks (truly this reminds me so much of when i went to science camp, no electronic devices and no outside food once we got off the bus.)

nini isn't working with jamie (at least not during this season, and if she is, it's not happening on screen at all, or they would've shown a clip of her there imo). i feel like maybe- the jamie thing fell through, hence what she says to miss jenn about feeling like something big is coming, and her family friend marvin promising her that the best is yet to come... this could lead to some family stuff for gina too- the fact that her brother potentially flaked again... even though she loves him, and knows he loves her, that could be hard. i think nini will choose to chase her dream regardless- with or without jamie. she gets reassurance from miss jenn and marvin that she should do so.

what the trailer has reaffirmed that i already anticipated:

ricky's late to camp. he does arrive in episode 1, based off the instagram trailer "group hug" shot of him, given ej and gina's outfits there, but probably not until the end. like- maybe it's the last shot (or second to last shot, last shot being the reaction) of the episode even. it could be a "ricky i'm moving to denver" type of moment from 2.01. if this happens- i called it on july 1st, 2022 lol. only 26 days until i find out if i'm right lol. (i don't think this is necessarily the case- but after "ricky i'm moving to denver- i think it totally could be).

lily doesn't have as much of a presence as my initial thoughts- but those haven't been affirmed by anything so i changed my mind about this a while before we got this trailer, so it's affirmed that she's really not going to have much of any influence on the season. my guess is maybe we see her with ricky in 2.01, and maybe in the finale seeing the musical or something. we'll see. i thought maybe she'd facetime ricky- but that's impossible now bc no phones.

ej and gina are exploring their new relationship, we knew that was coming. we'll see what happens by the end of the season, given almost all their good moments in the trailer are from episode 1. i'm shocked they didn't mention ej's future even once, but him directing the musical can lead into that stuff, and his being stressed talking to gina in the window sorta affirms that well- he's going through some stuff. whether this has to do with directing or his future- maybe the latter and maybe both, but we shall see.

Unsent

James, Jamie...

Potter,

I hope the summer hasn't been too much of a struggle for you (what with all the time off I'm sure you've had). Mum and da were shocked when I took up a summer job at the local bookshop, but it's been nice getting out of the house. Anyways, I don't really know why I'm writing, other than to say hello. And that I miss you. I''m not sure what changed this summer, but I found myself sitting here, wondering how you were. So... how are you? I'm doing as well as I can, without the castle and all the warmth of Gryffindor around me.

This Summer, I think, has been different in the worst of ways. Normally, coming home is a warm embrace. But, without Severus around, with Petunia ignoring me, coming home feels a bit like returning to a remote island. A gaping excuse of a town with only the bookstore keeping me afloat. Sometimes, I wonder if it's me. I wonder if I'm the one truly pushing people away. Maybe Tuney's right. Maybe there's something a little wrong with me, and that's why everyone keeps running away.

Except you, I suppose.

You were the first person I wanted to write to about this feeling, which is incredibly strange, if I'm being honest. I'd like a detailed explanation, Potter, because I don't know when it was that you wormed your way into my brain. I expect it in your return letter. And, if you're bored, and looking for a bit of an adventure this summer, I'd love to show you around muggle London sometime. Might do me good to have a day of cheering up.

Anyways, I hope this finds you well and that you take me up on the offer. It stands, whenever you so choose.

Fondly (oh, don't go getting a big head about this one),

Evans

Note: Lily never had the nerve to send this letter Summer before their 7th year. She kept it tucked away in a drawer all summer, hoping that she'd get the courage to send it. Later, when she was moving out of her parents' home, she'd find it & bring it with her. A reminder of what was to come, and how she felt at the time.

Ok for my W&N readers... we all agree that Lilith has to Crowley's maid of honor, right? No question about that. Even if I disregard literally every other wedding tradition(which I may or may not do idk), Lilith has to be the maid of honor. Hold on, lemme write up a scene of this rq to articulate it

~~scene break~~

Crowley chuckled with an eye roll as Lilith wrapped herself around them, only hesitating a moment before returning the favor.

They broke apart shortly after, navigating easily to their respective chairs and settling into them.

"So... why are you here?" Lilith broke the silence first, raising a single eyebrow. The demon huffed, "Can't I just want to see my best friend?"

Her brow rose even further. They huffed again.

"Fine, fine. It's wedding planning."

The other eyebrow joined the first. "You've only been engaged for 3 months."

"Collar was basically an engagement ring," Crowley responded easily, "Besides; we hid our love for 6 bloody millennia. We're allowed to be in a bit of a rush to get it."

Lilith shrugged. "Fair enough. Why are you coming to me about it, though? Jamie and I haven't even started planning."

They smirked, "Not like we have much. Not much concrete, anyways."

The store owner scoffed, "Yeah, no shit. Still doesn't answer why you're coming to me, you idiot."

"Because there is one thing we're concrete about," Crowley responded, their confident voice tinged with the slightest hint of anxiety, "Well, one thing I'm concrete about. If Aziraphale didn't like it he could fuck off. Not like he would say no to this, though."

"What is the 'this', Crowley?" Lilith pressed, getting just a little annoyed.

"Well-" they took a deep, steadying breath, "We- I want. I want..." a curse slipped out under their breath as they stumbled, "Lily, will you humor me and be my Maid of Honor at the wedding?"

Her face went blank, brain seeming to short-circuit not unlike Crowley's did when Aziraphale did... anything, really.

"I... you want... you want me to be your Maid of Honor?" Her voice was full of disbelief and wonder and if the demon was right, under it all, there was hope.

"Yeah. I mean... you're you, Lily. You made my collar, you knocked sense into me when I needed it most, I mean, I take my sunglasses off around you. Willingly. There's only two beings on this Earth I do that for."

There were a couple more seconds of silence before Lilith tackled them into a hug, tears staining their leather jacket.

"Of course I'll be your Maid of Honor, you dickhead," she murmured, the watery quality of her voice dulling any heat that was in it. Crowley let out a wet chuckle as they hugged her back.

"Thank you, Lily," they whispered in response, barely holding in their own tears, "You don't know what this means to me, really."

~~scene break~~

Welp to anyone who reads Wants and Needs you just either read a sneak-peak or a disregarded idea. Either way I hope you enjoyed!

[organic-guacamole]

I've got a lot of thoughts on this finale.

starting with the length.

27 minutes? really?

I'm not asking for a 2 hour episode but cmon, at least give us something closer to 40 minutes.

next, the characters

the characters just didn't feel like themselves, especially portwell.

all season long we saw how much potential they had, how well communicated they were, how good they were at being a proper, healthy couple, and now they just can't talk to each other?

it doesn't feel like them.

portwell had arguably the best set up of all the other ships, they showed us how good they had the potential to be only to throw in a cheap plot to wrap it up? I would understand that they want some angst to make the ending all the more satisfying, but this was pathetic.

there I said it.

of all the ways to add drama in a ship, don't use the one that completely contradicts their entire development.

paired with the length of the episode, it seemed even more poorly written.

here I made a lovely, handy dandy homemade graph to represent how I see portwell's storyline:

as i said before, we saw the build up being nearly perfect. they peaked during episodes 9-11 because they just had the chemistry, the communication, and the most potential to be the endgame couple.

they just got eachother.

then we get Jamie popping in for 10 seconds and erasing a lot of that, only for mediator Ashlyn to jump in and solve their problems.

then there's the "kiss".

I know that Sofia is underage and that even if she/her legal guardians consent to the kiss, the writers can still decide not to show it, but still. In my opinion, if you're not going to show the kiss, then don't bother.

there are other ways to establish a relationship that would work better in this situation. Of course if they get together they'll have to kiss sometime, but one way they could postpone it is by having Gina be a bit more reluctant to give away her first kiss like that. it could also show how accomodating EJ is.

I like to think that Gina is very meticulous when making decisions so she'll probably want to be very sure of the relationship before giving him her first kiss. perhaps she'd stick to cheek kisses until she's ready, and then she kisses him and he's surprised.

that would've been, in my opinion, a sufficient way to hold off the kiss while still wrapping up portwell until season 3 when Sofia would be 18 (assuming they get picked up for S3 this summer then start filming fall-winter. Sofia will be 18 in January).

as my friend @rtcosley (idk why it's not letting me tag them, so their page is linked) said,

"They created like 10 plots

And instead of wrapping it up

They added 4 more"

there's just so much more they could've done...it's the season finale for crying out loud.

I get that seblos already had (what I assume is) their storyline for the season, the fight and resolution. Ignoring the fact that that only lasted for 2 episodes and didn't have anything to do with what we were expecting, (i.e.the financial differences between their families, as mentioned in episode 1, the fact that everyone treats seb like he's stupid, this being carlos' first show and the drama that the stress of that caused, etc.), seblos had to purpose this episode than to stand next to eachother and be gay.

I get that they're not part of the core four or anything, but the poster for season 2 has all of them, as opposed to season 1 just being the core four.

They deserved better, just like redlyn and kowie.

redlyn's arc was pretty early in the season compared to the other ships. they had Ashlyn confessing her insecurities in episode 3, antoine stirring the pot of confusion and causing a bit of distance between them briefly, and then big red confessing his goals and plans for the future in episode 8 and for the rest of it, we just see them getting closer and more comfortable with each other and caring about each other more and more.

they had a good arc together.

but that's just it. I wanted to see them have their own arcs. but then again, this show can't seem to balance multiple storylines. I think it is possible, but not when they keep adding new characters that don't contribute anything much to the story(more on that later).

kowie's storyline is... confusing.

I really like their dynamic, how carefree and happy Kourtney gets around him, how she's remaining true to herself and managing a million and one things, plus a relationship in her own without losing herself to it all.

but the main issue I have is that the entire development was never shown.

we went from strangers, to coworkers, to friends that flirt, to lovers that text constantly and went on numerous dates (and Howie met her mother at some point). but all of that, was off screen.

it's like the writers made every episode with them in it kind of thrown in at a new stage of relationship progression and said "here, accept this, no questions asked because we don't have answers"

I just wish we could've seen more of howie trying to get in her good side again after episode 7 because it seems like that's when a lot of it happened.

I appreciate the Rini scene in this episode, seems to be the very end of them, for good this time.

i'm happy about that.

Ricky especially deserves to be free for a while to focus on his development, and Nini has the chance now to really shine through her talents and make a name for herself.

The Rini storyline is the only one I'm fully satisfied with.

now, that being said;

what the heck are they trying to pull with Lily and Ricky rn???

just like that.

after lily being the villain this whole season, they're just gonna not redeem her and then have her confess her feelings to Ricky, a guy she barely knows and only talked to to harass and intimidate, and for him to reject her publicly then call her afterwards?

please I hope it's just to say "you dropped something, here it is and never contact me again, thanks." /hj

speaking of the villains, this season was promoted as the season of rivalry between North and East High right? so why did that plot idea only progress in about 3 out if 12 episodes?

we got Zackey Roy in there for a few episodes then he disappeared, Lily just caused Gina to stay true to her friends in episode 2 and 7 and then basically did nothing else?

this is what I mean by the new characters providing nothing to the show.

the writers can't manage having so many characters and plots at once so they start so many promising arcs, only to kick them aside later on.

we already know that the first half of the season felt like filler episodes, so I think they could've cut those down to leave room for the more important plots to take root, rather than have them pop up and get rushed at the end of the season.

all that, and they just add 4 more plots at the end of the season.

this post sounds very negative looking back...but if I'm being honest with myself, I'm just very very disappointed.

I love this show so much and I really expected better for the season finale, especially if they don't know if it's getting renewed or not.

given the IMDB ratings of this episode so far, I don't have very high expectations for the renewal, but I'm still hopeful because this show is a great thing, one of the best things that happened to me over the course of this quarantine. I've become so attached to this show, the cast and the friends I made through it, that I don't know what I would do if it just ends like this. writing these reviews and posts about this season has been so fun for me to do and thinking that this may be the very last one is a painful thought.

I'm sorry if you were expecting this post to be as light-hearted as my other posts about the episodes, I just had a lot to say about this episode in particular.

Description: You're his girlfriend and you baked him a cake and surprised him

Pairings: Remus x reader

Which year?: Hogwarts year 5, 1975

Warnings: food, fluff, loads of hugs and kisses 

Inspiration: One thing by One Direction

Being the girlfriend of a guy who turns into a werewolf once a month and is obsessed with chocolates is a true blessing. Today is your boyfriend, Remus Lupin's 16th birthday and you wanted him to have a birthday that he'll never forget which is why you're currently in the kitchen with the house elves

"Krafty can you check on the chocolate cake please" You ordered the light elf as you continued to decorate the chocolate cookies that you made; you heard the oven open leaving a delicious scent in the kitchen then close but the smell still lingered and became oddly near you

"Krafty has got the chocolate cake for Y/n L/n" The happy looking elf presented you the brown cake proudly, the cake was well baked and looked absolutely mouthwatering. You could eat it right there and then but stopped yourself

"Thank you Krafty" You took the cake from his grasp and placed it on the counter near you and you went back into business with the cookies, you added the letter S to the last cookie before moving away from your masterpiece to check if it is perfect

'Happy Birthday Remus' You wrote on each of the treats as a proud smile creeped up to your face, you heard loud laughter booming through the walls of the kitchen and saw three boys coming in

"Hey y/n/n, we did what you told us to!" Peter squealed merrily with a big smile before starting to sniff the room "Ooh what is that delicious smell?" He asked looking at the other two boys in confusion

"It's the cake and cookies" You moved aside to show them your hard work, the boys strolled over and their eyes bulged open so wide their eyes were close to coming out of their sockets "Woah y/n they look absolutely splendid!" Sirius gushed picking up a cookie, he moved it near his mouth but you snatched it away from him carefully so the writing wouldn't mess up "Not now Padfoot" You glared at him and he put his hands up in surrender

"Okay so the plan is to surprise him?" James inquired with a raised eyebrow and you nodded, you wanted to surprise Remus because you knew he didn't want anything and he has told the boys that he doesn't want them to waste any money or time on him and obviously you and the boys didn't listen

"Okay so we'll-" "Not so fast Prongs" You cut him off mid sentence holding tightly onto him, Sirius and Peter so they don't squirm away "You three will help me to decorate the cake" The black haired and curly haired boys groaned in ignorance as you rolled your eyes at their childish behaviour "I love decorating!" The small boy jumped excitedly with a small giggle causing the boys to glare at him and you to laugh at him

"Let's get started boys!"

"Sirius Orion Black, you try to eat that cookie again and you'll wake up bald" You threatened your annoying friend for the hundredth time making the other two laugh again as you glared at them once again, the grey eyed boy gasped dramatically using one hand to comb through his hair

You rolled your eyes at his irritating presence and he chuckled at how easy it is to infuriate you.

The four of you successfully managed to go to the common room without spilling or ruining anything, just like the other boys you threatened everyone who tried to touch the cake or take a taste of it

You heard your best friend, Lily Evans talking to your boyfriend about the Transfiguration exam coming up next week. "Okay wormtail go" You demanded the short boy and he nodded clearing his throat saying the password to the fat lady before strolling in the large red room causing the attention inside to go on him "Hello Remus, my old friend" "Uh Remus I'm sorry but i have to go to the toilet" "Take your time"

You saw the red head motioning you guys to come in, you followed her instructions as you and the others tip toed across the room to get to Remus who is now in a deep conversation with Peter about muggle cars "Woah so they never heard of flying cars!" The blonde boy's eyes widened slamming his hands on the wooden table moving closer to the Sandy haired "Nope they find it freaky deaky"

You always loved it when Remus used slang, it suited him and you loved hearing the words sliding off his mouth so smoothly. "Groovy" You heard Peter mutter under his breath before Lily covered Remus' eyes surprising him "Who's there?" He squealed out in a high pitched voice and his book fell from his open hands

You stifled in a giggle placing the cake onto the table and Sirius placed the cookies on the other side of the brown table before Lily took her hands off his face "Happy Birthday Remus!" You chuckled at his face as his cheeks and the tips of his ears turned a deep red

He stared at the cake for a while then turned to you to stare in awe for a minute then copied the same actions on our other friends before turning back to me with tears glazing over his eyes "Y-you did this?" He pointed his finger at the cake and cookies

You nodded with a small smile "Yeah" You breathed out, a smile broke onto his face as he leaped over to you squishing your cheeks and colliding your lips with his. You were taken aback by the sudden action as you relaxed under his touch before softly placing your hands on his cheeks kissing him back 

You heard Lily and Peter aww at the sight and the other two boys gagged at it playfully, you heard the two whine out an ow

"Save that for the bedroom" You laughed into the kiss breaking the two of you apart, Remus slapped Sirius on the arm playfully as Sirius kept on chuckling. James mimicked the scene earlier making you roll your eyes and mess his hair "Ah not the hair!"

"It's messy anyway Jamie"

"Guys..." You all turned around to the timid voice of the blond only to see his once blue eyes turn dark as his eyes lingered on the cake as if it was going to run away from him

You all looked at each other holding in a laugh before turning back to Peter who held his stare "When are we going to eat the cake?" Drool was practically falling from his mouth, the sight disgusted you all yet was amusing

You looked back at Remus who only motioned his head towards his dorm room with a smirk, you giggled getting up "We're just going to play some games in my room" Your boyfriend announced holding your hand and leading you to his messy shared dorm

"Yeah me and Prongs are going to prank Snivellus" Sirius picked the brown eyed boy by the collar so he too doesn't drool at the sight of his long time crush, Lily Evans, and ran out of the warm room leaving the red head by herself wondering why she became friends with such backstabbers

"Well I gotta skitty" She scurried away as fast as possible so he doesn't ask any questions, the boy stayed on his seat not caring if his friends left nor minding the loud noises coming from his dorm room "Cookies and cakes you're mine!"
