"You need to grow up and ask her-"

"You know I can't do that-"

"Yes you can, you twat!-"

"She's going to say no!"

"I know my sister better than you!-"

"No you don't-"

"Yes I do, James you blithering idiot-"

"Hey!"

"What are you doing?"

James and Lily's heads snapped up at the sound of your voice and they jumped away from eachother. You watched the two with furrowed eyebrows.

Affer being pinched by Lily, James put his usual smirk on. "Oh you know, just coming here to see-" he gestured to Lily. "Evans."

He sent you an awkward smile as you looked towards Lily who seemed to be mentally slapping James. "Uh- go out with me Lilypad!"

Lily almost slapped James for over exaggerating. "Ugh- no you uhm, idiot toerag." she rushed out before gathering her things and pushing you slightly towards James, before running out of the library.

"What did you do to my sister, Potter?" you joked as you sat down next to him. James rubbed his neck in slight embarrassment.

"Me? I didn't do anything." he dismissed you.

You raised your eyebrow and hummed before you pulled out your books out of your bag. "You know, if you want my sister to like you, you need to be nicer and stop bugging her around."

James pursed his lips. "Are you and Lily alike? In this aspect I mean."

You looked at him confused. "Uhm, yeah I guess. Why?"

James turned pink from embarrassment. "No-no reason. Just uhm... for a friend."

You sighed. "Right."

James opened his mouth wanting to say something else but then caught sight of Sirius at the entrance, motioning for him to hurry up. "I have to go." he rushed out and sent you an apologetic smile. "Bye Y/N." he added as he kissed your head and ran off before he could regret it.

He took one more glance at you and his face fell when he saw your grin directed to Amos Diggory who sat in front of you.

"It's useless."

Lily rolled her eyes for the hundreth time as she looked towards James who was sprawled on the couch in the Gryffindor common room.

"Your brain is useless." she retorted as she flipped a page in her book.

"Hey." James protested as he threw a pillow at her and completely missed.

Lily closed her eyes, took a deep breath then put her book aside. "Listen James, you need to stop being an idiot. Everyone - including my sister - thinks you like me, everyone is wrong. You need to stop acting like a brainless wanker, get your act together and ask my sister out before my own brain malfunctions because of your daily rants about her beautiful hair and irresistible smile."

James opened and closed his mouth for a minute before he jumped to his feet. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier." he yelled as he ran out of the common room.

"Bloody idiot, he is. I pity my sister." Lily muttered as she took her book and went upstairs.

—

Your nose crinkled in anger as you felt your blood boil. Why was your favorite character being so stupid? And why did he have to choose that git when his love interest was his best friend-

"Y/N."

Startled you almost dropped your book if it weren't for a hand catching it. You looked at the owner and smiled at James Potter. He looked like he ran for an hour, his hair was as messy as always, his glasses were a little crooked but he was still handsome.

You sometimes envied your sister for catching his eye, but you couldn't be angry at her. It wasn't her fault and besides, life's too short to be mad at ones sister.

"Here." James smiled as he handed you your book.

You smiled. "Thanks James." you said as you took the book and put it in your bag. You looked at him with raised eyebrows when you saw him fumbling with his fingers. He was nervous. Now that was new.

"Something wrong?"

James looked at you startled, almost as if he forgot you were there. "Uhm, there's something I need to tell you."

"Well go ahead then." you encouraged him. "I'm meeting Amos soon and I don't want to be late."

James' face fell almost immediately and every plan of telling you how he felt was washed down the drain. "Oh- ugh nevermind. It wasn't important." he sent you a small fake smile before he turned around and left you alone.

What was wrong with him?

—

"I like you and I want you to be my girlfriend." Amos declared as he stared at you.

You smiled. "That was great Amos just maybe a little more enthusiasm."

Amos nodded encouraged as he looked inside Hog's Head where a Ravenclaw, Cecelia, was laughing with her friends. "Think she'll say yes?"

You rolled your eyes. "Of course she will. And then you'll go on multiple dates, get married and eventually have a boy named Cedric."

Amos snorted. "I would never name my son Cedric".

You scoffed. "Never say never, Diggory."

Amos took a deep and entered the shop. You sighed and sent one last look inside, seeing Cecelia's face brighten up as she hugged Amos.

Snow started to fall and you glanced happily at the sky. You loved snow.

"Y/N!"

Someone yelled from behind you. You turned to see James, only in a sweater, running towards you.

"James what the hell? You're gonna catch a cold." you rushed out as you took of your scarf and put it on him.

James shook his head with a grin as he looked at you. "Doesn't matter." he muttered as he looked at Hog's Head. "What happened with Amos?"

You smiled. "Helped him with a girl."

"So you weren't on a date with him?" James asked with a hesitant smile as he stepped closer to you.

"No, he wasn't my type anyway." you shrugged.

"What is your type?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow and smiled.

You gulped. "You know, nice guys with a red, dark eyes and um really, really short." you winced as you tried to explain the exact opposite of him.

James laughed wholeheartedly as he put his hands on your hips. "So I guess, you won't like it if I kiss you right now?"

"But-but Lily.." you stammered as you looked at him.

"We're both bloody idiots." he muttered as he pulled you closer and pressed his lips to your. You almost gasped in shock but composed yourself as you put your hands on his shoulders as his went around your waist.

He pulled away way too soon as he rested his forehead on yours. "I'm not a redhead, I don't have dark eyes and I'm pretty tall but you're just going to have to settle with this."
