glad to hear you're okay! i'm fine, just getting back to school after a way too short holiday ;)
could i then request a James x reader, where they have to hide in the greenhouses from the rain and it leads to him confessing his love because he cannot keep it in anymore??
A/n: Thanks for the request, dev... don't stress too much about school, you can do it :) I Hope you like it!
Pairing: James Potter x Reader
It was raining. Not the kind of rain that just happened to be there. It was the kind of rain where dark clouds stretched across the sky and all your clothes, no matter how rain gauge they were, got wet to the skin. It was the kind of rain where the drops on your skin sometimes hurt and they ran down your neck, down your back.
The ground Y/N walked on had long since ceased to be a real path. So maybe it used to be, but right now it was more like a mud slide. She had just come from Hagrid's hood, visiting him. Her cloak, which she had still tried to protect somehow with the umbrella Hagrid had lent her, was just hanging down on her shoulders, she was also just carrying the umbrella, since it couldn't defend itself against the strong wind that made the whipping willow whip even more than usual.
"Y/N!" she heard a voice behind her and turned around, startled.
"James?" she called out questioningly to the familiar voice and figure, "What are you doing here?
The boy, who had just reached her, a little out of breath, in Quiditch clothes, ran his hand through his hair, which was soaked and still tousled.
"Why were you playing Quiditch? It's raining cats and dogs!"
"I noticed that too, silly!
"Shut up, James, and come with me. My immune system isn't that great and I don't want to catch a cold,'' she said to the boy and turned around, heading for the castle, still about 15 minutes away.
They continued to walk along the muddy path, but only progressed at a snail's pace, as James kept tripping over his own feet.
"James, there's no point in you flying there all the time. We're not getting anywhere like this."
"Do you think I'm doing this on purpose?"
"Well, can I remind you of the first year where you and Sirius played piglet and got down in the mud to make it more realistic?''
"We weren't playing piglets!" exclaimed James indignantly and Y/N laughed.
''Remus told me you guys made Peter dump mud all over you.''
"We just wanted to know what it was like to be an animal..." muttered James and she grinned.
"Of course you did," she said with a giggle and tried to get up a small ledge, but she also slipped.
"Who fell down now?" James teased her and she rolled her eyes, completely ignoring his remark: "We can't get up here."
"Then let's go to the greenhouse over there, maybe it'll stop raining in a minute. "
He pointed to the greenhouse, which was hard to see in the rain, about half a mile away.
Nodding, Y/n started walking in the direction of the house and Jams followed. The clouds had already become lighter, the rain no longer lashing but falling normally. It smelled like wet grass and mud.
Water flowed, like a small stream down the path and partly formed into puddles . Arriving at the greenhouse, James opened the thin and rather frail door. Inside the greenhouse it was stuffy and wet on the floor.
The pattering on the roof sounded like a quiet melody and Y/N sat down on one of the chairs next to a flower pot. She dried herself a bit with her wand and welcomed the warmth that hit her body.
She looked at James, who had sat down on a stool next to her, doing the same but with his hair. She laughed at the boy's typical behavior and he grinned at her.
He had a beautiful smile. He had the kind of smile where little dimples formed on the sides of his mouth that managers only noticed if you looked closer.
He had the kind of smile where his eyes got smaller, but somehow still shone. He had that damn beautiful smile that made you forget where you were and who you were. He had the kind of smile that somehow made everything okay again.
"What were you doing out there anyway?" James asked her, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"I was with Hagrid, and you? Why do you have to train in this weather?" she asked back.
"We are playing against Slytherin this weekend. I'm going to kick Mulciber's ass, you better believe it! It's the last game before the vacations and I had to improve the team's lineup, you know, Vivian has improved, especially on the outposts...''
From that moment on, James didn't stop talking at all and Y/n already didn't listen since he said Mulciber's name. She only heard the voice
"You have no business here, you little mudblood! As soon as we are out of here, we will get our hands on you. Then even your little friends won't be able to protect you!''
" Y/n? Y/n, are you okay?" James asked worriedly, and she only now realized that her breathing was labored and tears had formed in her eyes. She just shook her head.
" I have no place here, James. This isn't the way it's supposed to be. I'm a muggle!. I don't belong here, I really don't. I am here, but it sometimes feels like everything is breaking. Everything- Everything I've believed in at one point and will believe in... It doesn't make sense! The war, the battle, the hate! I could avoid it and just never come back. I'm even part of the blame, after all. It's not right. I-''
" Stop it, Y/n! Just stop it!"' James interrupted her and she looked at him, startled
''Stop talking about yourself like that. You have no idea how much you are worth because you don't see all that. Many don't, many don't see who they are and what is "beautiful" about them and they don't have to. But it's important that people tell them that they are worth something, that their laughter is more beautiful than anything I've ever seen, and that their subtlety is incredibly fascinating. That you are who you are and you are beautiful the way you are because I think you are so beautiful. And that you are loved. Really, truly loved. And you will be forever. And maybe I regret saying it, but I really, really love you. Not just in the way that I like you, but that I look at you and everything is okay. Not that I find you beautiful, but that I find you beautiful inside and out. And most of all, because you make comments about the muggle world and teach me all kinds of things. I really, really love you, y/n.''
He was out of breath and had stood while he talked.
He loved her. He loved her. He loved her.
Repeated Y/n over and over in her head, smiling she looked at him.
"I really, really love you too, James," she said with a grin, standing up and walking a bit towards James, She brushed mud from his face and giggled .
"Really, really," she whispered before standing on her tiptoes and closing the gap between them.
