@imnotjamespotter​: “ Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ginger slytherin. “

“You’re telling me you seriously don’t remember the one who was head girl during our fourth year?” Lucinda asked, raising an eyebrow at him. “She was fucking gorgeous, everyone fancied her, even me. Or were you too busy gawking over your boyfriends to notice anyone without a dick?”

James wracked his brain for a image of this so-called gorgeous ginger head girl, but he couldn’t figure out who Lucinda had been talking about. Truthfully, the only gorgeous ginger he could think of was Lily, as if his brain was limited to one girl only. “I only know of one fit ginger,” he stated with a grin. “And it’s Remus. So, that’s as far it goes for me. I’m a faithful boy,” he joked, grinning brightly at the brunette.

@imnotjamespotter​:  “ how are we playing? classic or bavardian rules? ”

“What the hell even are bavardian rules for this? It’s bobbing for apples, not wizard chess.”

“I was merely attempting to make it more interesting, you tosser,” James whined, crossing his arms across his chest. “Well, if you’re the expert on this, go on and stick your head in first!” he exclaimed, gesturing towards the bin of apples and water before them.

“I think she may want to fight you anyway” She said and shook her head “I am not good with flying and I don’t want all those balls trying to kill me.” She watched him and tilted her head “Why are you trying to make me go to try outs from the Slytherin team though?”

James grinned at her sheepishly, rocking himself on the balls of his feet as he began to speak, “Well... I haven’t really got saintly intentions. I was actually hoping you’d join to sort of, you know, fuck up and make things more interesting.”

Andromeda nodded, “Is not every day people see the Great James Potter being less than perfect. Or that’s what some say, I do believe you are a nerd and are deceiving everyone.” she joked looking at him. “Tasted rather awful, huh?, hope is wasn’t harmful.”

James wrinkled his nose at the older girl, and shook his head, “Definitely not perfect, but certainly not a nerd, either. I’m just a confusing enigma, going about my life,” he replied with a hint of a smile. “Tasted ghastly. And I’m not sure of its toxicity. Can’t be too dreadful, as I’m still alive. For now, at least,” he joked, realizing that he should’ve inquired the poison levels of the plant from Sprout.

“ I saw muggle textbooks when I was visiting family for the holidays, and honestly? Sure, I could maybe die falling off the stairs if I had a sleepwalking habit, but at least I’m not doing algebra right now. ” - @imnotjamespotter​

“Oh, so that’s what’s finally going to kill you? A flight of stairs?” Mirth shined in her emerald eyes at his overdramatics. “You’re getting soft, Potter. I never thought your hypothetical death would be so boring.” 

“Well, my hypothetical deaths are allowed to be boring, as they are purely hypothetical Besides, I’ll have you know, I can go up two stairs at a time effortlessly, so if anything I’m quite good at stairs.!” James argued, a small impish smile curling onto his lips. “As for my real death, according to our loony divination professor, I’m going to have a quite impactful one. Perhaps I’ll get a statue or somethin’ like that,” he joked with a shrug, imagining a bronzed version of himself erected in Hogsmeade.

“Classic,” Ted’s immediate response flung forth without thought. “Bavardian rules come in later. When we’ve had a few, and McGonagall isn’t watching us so closely.”

James furrowed his brows, frowning at Ted a bit as he watched the boy knock back a drink. “Excuse me, Edward, but you have yet to offer me a sip of whatever it is you’re drinking. Sharing is caring, as they say,” he whined, longingly gazing upon Ted’s drink.

Ted very nearly stuck out his tongue at the other, grinning at him as he slumped down in the library chair. “I take great pride in being a weird nerd, James,” he shrugged, “It’s one of the more interesting things about me.” He glanced across the library to where Pince was. “I mean, how many damn spells can there be on one door?”

James rocked back in his chair, haphazardly rocking on the back legs of it as he grinned at Ted. “You are the weirdest, and best nerd in the entire world, Teddy boy. Don’t let the world kill your dreams of getting into that bloody section!” he exclaimed, pulling his glasses off of his head and back onto his eyes to also gaze at the locked up bit of the library. “It’s somehow more alluring with the lock. Everything’s sexier when you find out it’s forbidden,” he added, folding his arms behind his head.

Dorcas fell silent as she tugged on the sleeves of her sweater, staring at the floor next to James’s feet. He’d been the first to find her after she’d ran from the classroom after getting rid of the Boggart in the Defence classroom, having found her behind one of the tapestries where there was a hidey-hole. She swallowed, her knees drawn up and her feet leaning against the opposite wall. “That was my dad,” Her voice shakes, like a leaf in the wind, and she sighs softly as James shuffles closer to her, offering her his shoulder. Her Boggart had been her family and friends, strewn across the floor, haphazardly.  

James was deeply concerned, never before had he seen Dorcas crumble like the way she had in class. The Boggart before her transforming into something ordinary to James, a man, quite atypical compared to the bizarre parade of clowns, spiders, and snakes the class had witnessed until then. Perfectly boring fears. Perfectly conquerable. He noticed she was unable to collect herself, immediately rushing out before he could even process what was happening. Without even missing a beat, James was several steps behind her, not caring about the frazzled professor they were leaving behind. When he found her, she was curled behind a tapestry, fear still glimmering in her eyes. “Oh,” James responded, taken by surprise by her answer. “That’s... Heavy stuff, Do,” he told her softly, crouching down beside her and wrapping an arm around her. “But listen, it’s not, real. It’s all make believe, that’s what those little buggers do. They just mess with your head, yeah?” he told her softly, rummaging in his pocket for a handkerchief to offer her. “I’m sure your dad’s fine. He’s probably perched up at him behind a newspaper, drinking his afternoon tea, wondering how his blonde genius is doing at school,” James consoled, giving her shoulders squeeze.

Sirius leaned in, obviously excited. He was getting geared up for something outrageous, insane ideas were sprinting through his head about what on earth James could bet getting into. However, when it turned out to be for Lily, Sirius’ body collapsed, his head dully thumping onto the table. “I thought this was going somewhere so much cooler than stealing a book from the library for a nerd who is always in the library.” Sirius of course called Lily a nerd as a term of endearment, obviously. “Can you not just get Remus to get it for you? He’s also a nerdy prefect who I’m sure can snag it for you.” He proposed, with a slight shrug as he still laid halfway sprawled across the table. “Okay – that’s nasty don’t talk about hetero sex around me – but the Kamasutra? You want to read that book when you can’t even say that you want to fuck someone.” He smirked a little, his foot moving swiftly to kick James in the shin. 

Jame’s paused, realizing that Sirius’ suggestion was far more logical and surely would have resulted in success. His own head hung low, a whine slipping out of him. “I don’t know why I don’t fucking consult with you before I... I do stupid things,” James admitted, blinking back at the boy before him. “You’re truly my better half, as the poets say,” he joked, pursing his lips and smacking his lips in a kiss in Sirius’ direction, “Though our little nerd has respect for the library, so we must break him. We must corrupt him. It has to be done in order to win Lily’s love,” James stated solemnly, folding his hands on the desk and as his eyes searched for Moony on the map between them. “Hey, listen. I don’t like that word. It’s... It’s more intimate than that. It’s a good canoodle. A good canoodle reserved for a good noodle that I happen to like very much,” he stated with a dreamy smile, tickling Sirius’ nose with his quill.

Doe shifted her head with a grin, from where it’d fallen on James’s chest. “Shush, J,” she let out a soft laugh through her tiredness as she nudged him with her elbow and the words fell from her lips. “I’m not lookin’ at you like anythin’. I’m just wondering who had the bright idea to throw whatever they threw in the fire…” She let her eyes close as she waited for his response, her hand absentmindedly tapping thrice (for I love you) on Emmeline’s leg as it dangled off the sofa Doe and James were on the floor next to, where she’d fallen asleep with Remus. The others were strewn around the same area, the three sofas covered in people until Doe and James had relegated themselves to the floor. “Should I Accio a blanket?”

“Must you even ask, blondie? You should have fetched us a blanket ages ago! I’m bloody freezing. It’s bad enough we’ve been banished from the floor, but these greedy gits couldn’t even give us a blanket? Honestly just disrespectful,” James complained in a half whisper, gesturing around to their friends who were already lost to slumber. He shifted slightly, resting his cheek on Dorcas’ head as his eyes were directed to the fire as well. Well, the lack of fire, really. In the midst of their games of the evening, no one had remembered to charm the fire. Lucky James, lucky Dorcas. “D’you think we could charm some of these sods off the couch and steal one for ourselves? Because honestly, I think we’re the most deserving of a couch. We did win charades, both bloody times! We’re champions, for Merlin’s sake.”

“ of course i’m fine. i mean, who wouldn’t want to be told they’re going to have a painful, grim death, on their first divination class? ” – @imnotjamespotter

“Come on, mate. That’s not going to happen.” Sirius shouldered James slightly, trying to be reassuring. Sirius knew that a lot of people saw Divination as an absurd study but being Sirius was a strong believer in fate. He believed that there where things that were destined to happen, no matter what a person did there was points in their timeline would always come to fruition. However the thought of anything close to that happening to James made Sirius sick to his stomach. It made something angry and dark turn in his stomach, as if he dared anyone to lay a hand on James Potter. “– I won’t let it happen.”

James’ expression softened, the look in Sirius’ face reminded him just how lucky he was to have Sirius in his life. It was a look of alarm, of passion, and of loyalty. He’d meant the comment as a joke, though the actual encounter had been true. One glance inside of James’ teacup, and the professor’s face had turned grim, warning him of a terrible fate to come. As dark as the class had been, James had shrugged it off. A smile lacing his lips. He was one hundred percent of the belief that the only person in charge of his fate, was himself, not some bloody teacup. “Of course it won’t. You’re my guard dog after all, aren’t you?” he joked with a wink, reaching over to gently shove Sirius’ shoulder. “And you wouldn’t be a very good one if you let me die, now would you, Padfoot?”

Ted laughed, shaking his head as he lowered it slightly. “I sincerely apologise, James Potter,” he struggled to maintain the straight face he had then adopted, “I don’t know how anyone can tune out when you speak, James. You’re the most captivating human I’ve ever met,” Ted responded smoothly, with a grin, as he laughed. “Oh, however will I soothe such a heartbreak? Is it time, James, for me to grovel on my knees?”

James maintained his despondent expression, though it took absolutely everything within in to suppress the laughter threatening to burst from within him. He let out a long sigh before allowing his natural expression to shine through once more, grinning at the boy. “That’s possibly the most flattering thing I’ve ever heard, thank you so very much,” James told him, truly touched by Ted’s words. “Though your words have resonated with me and have throughly boasted my ego, I’m still hurt! I reckon you’ll have to spend the next Hogsmeade trip buying me butterbeers to mend my hurt, my boy,” James teased, leaning forward and waggling his brows at Ted.

“ i’m tired, and i want to go to bed, and i’ve been sitting here, trying to figure it out for like an hour, save me: what has a head but no body, but does have a tail? ” - @imnotjamespotter

With soft eyes, Mary looked down at James as he sat on the floor. She wasn’t sure if she should break the news to James that he is not in fact a Ravenclaw and he didn’t need to solve a riddle to get into the common room. Though the riddle did have stop and thinking for a moment before she furrowed her brows. “I think its a coin. Like heads or tails – right?” Shaking her head, she bent down to his level. “Either way, let’s get you up off this floor.” 

At the answer to his riddle a look of relief and annoyance at himself washed over his features, causing him to groan and fully lay down, resigning himself to the full extent of the floor. “God, Mary, how’d you come to be so brilliant? Mind if I borrow some brain cells? My last two are busy screaming at me about how stupid I am,” he mumbled from behind his hands which were now covering his face.

“Three is a lucky number. Besides, I don’t really need the luck. They wouldn’t do such a thing with me. Who could put this face in detention?” Alice pulled her best cute pout. It wasn’t that she never broke the rules. It was that she never got caught. She had learned to space out her rule breaking and be cautious for the most part. “Do they love you? This is the first I’m hearing of it. Are you sure this is a fact,” Alice teased.

“I dunno, Al. I think if I had the all wielding power that those two possess I would throw everyone I could in detention, simply because I could,” James admitted with a small nod, reaching out to tap her nose despite her pout. At her question James grin, turning up his nose in the air as arrogantly as he could. “But of course they do. Lily won’t admit it, but she does love me on some level. And Remus certainly loves me. He admits that daily, though some days its a tad begrudgingly... Even so, he still does.”
