That's James Sirius Potter in the pic btw . Thought I should show you .
Anyway get ready for this chapter! It is gonna be different.

~That night~

James' POV

I just came inside from seeing Mavis off, a smile stuck on my face. I walk into the living room and see Teddy going up the stairs , probably to his room. I also notice Mum and dad  walking towards me . I guess this is where they tell me their thought on Mavis ... I hope they like her.... . I gulp.
They have no expressions on their face....

"Sit down , son" dad said plainly. I nod and sit down on the couch

"James, about Mavis..." mum starts.

"Y-Yeah?" I stutter.

"We think ..." dad pauses. I could feel sweat coming down the side of my head.

"..She is a very nice girl" mum finishes and both of them grin. Phew, I sigh in relief.

"Merlin! Aunt Ginny , nice? She is extraordinary. I mean , let's be honest , James is NERVOUS!" Teddy says appearing out of nowhere. We all laugh.

"Can't disagree , Teddy" dad confirms between laughs."The James Sirius Potter is nervous. Inform the Daily Prophet!!"

"Oh the Daily prophet knows , dad , a lot more than you think" I say matter-of-factly  while mum shoots dad a looks that says 'Really, Harry?'

Dad laughs nervously "R-Right! Need some time to get used to that!" While Teddy is holding his stomach and laughing his head off. Mum and I join his laughter and soon dad does too.

"Okay everyone , it is 10:30 p.m. already. Good night , Teddy , James ." Mum says standing up along with dad .

"G'night" Teddy and I chorus.

Mum , dad and teddy go up to their rooms but I stay in the living room, thinking over the evening's incidents. Today went quite well.

Suddenly , a patronus comes in. It forms the shape of ... a husky...? Whose could that be? Wait ... wasn't it Mavis' mum's?

"Speak" I tell the patronus.

"James. This is Mavis' mother , Artemis. Is Mavis staying at your place for the night? She hasn't come home yet. Send me a reply soon, please" I hear her voice say through the husky patronus .

Mavis hadn't gone home? But it has been long since she left.... I need to find her. But if I tell Ms. Black that her daughter is nowhere to be found she will worry a lot.

"She is staying the night at my place, Ms.Black. Don't worry. She will be home tomorrow morning" I inform the patronus as it nods in response and leaps away.

Just as it leaves , an owl knocks with it's beak on the window. It has a letter. Now? Who could it be? I walk upto the window and open it. The owl flies in , drops the letter and leaves through the same window. Okay..?

I open the letter and read:

James,
Want to see Mavis again?
NOT GONNA HAPPEN
She is mine now .
S.T.P.

My breathing hitched. Mavis has been kidnapped by someone? Obviously that's what seems to have happened ... but who is S.T.P. ...? This guy obviously likes Mavis. (And is a possessive b**** . 😂)  Seems like I know this writing style... STP.... . Suddenly , I realised it. Sam Thomas-Patil. He has had a crush on Mavis since long. God , doesn't he know how to move on? I sighed.

Well where would he hide her? Somewhere secret and secluded .... I never showed him the room or requirement and he tells Joe everything who tells Matthew who tells Fred who tells ME. He cannot keep a secret if his life depended on it . My eyes light up as I remembered a detail. Of course! I should ask Matthew! Joe definitely knows about this and has told him! I quickly send Matthew my lion patronus asking him about a very secluded place Sam knows about. The patronus soon comes back.

It says: "James, the little alley beside Borgin and Burke's is a very secluded place Sam knows of. At the end of the alley , there is a brick wall , looks like a dead end but if you tap your wand on the fifth brick from the top of it in the centre of the wall, a door will appear which will lead you to a room. And next time don't ask me such things at so late at night . You're lucky , I wasn't asleep yet!"

I chuckle at his last comment and make the patronus vanish. I should leave a note just in case it takes longer than expected. So I write a note and leave it on the coffee table. I leave the house and apparate to Diagon Alley .

~At Diagon Alley~

Hmm, there are still people roaming . I thought there would be none , I think. I start sneakily going towards knockturn alley. I hide near the daily prophet's old office that was destroyed years ago. I look around . No one's seen me. I quickly sprint towards knockturn alley and enter it . I quickly put on a disillusionment charm on myself so that I look like the people in Knockturn Alley.

I have reached the little alley , Matthew told me about. Now... fifth Brock from the top ..... and supposed to be at the center... uh... GOT IT! I tap the brick with my wand and the bricks vanish , showing a door. I open it and see ......

NOTHING. It's pitch black! "Lumos" I whisper. I see no doors along the little corridor I am walking. But at the end of it , I see a blue door. And light seems to be coming from it as the edges of the door were bright. I put my ear to the door to listen what was going on inside the room. There is someone walking around , obviously Sam . And some muffled sounds...  Mavis! That's it! I am breaking in.

I stand up , point my wand at the door and shout "Bombarda!!" The door gets blasted off its hinges and flies across the room behind it. I enter the room and see Mavis tied to a chair and being gagged and Sam , across the room , on the floor , coughing . I quickly run towards Mavis and free her limbs from the chair . She quickly gets up and grabs her wand which was on the floor . We both turn around to see Sam who was now standing with his wand in hand and an angry look on his face .

Well now is time for battle. I got ready in my duelling position but Mavis puts her hand on mine . I look at her

"Let me" she whispers to me , determination in her voice.

"Be my guest" I reply.

She stands before me and gets ready .

Mavis' POV

Sam looks at me and smirks. That piece of crap . He always underestimates females. I am gonna kick his ass now! I shoot him a look of disgust.
We start duelling. (Non-verbally , guys)

stupefy.
Protego.
Reducto!
Confringo!
Ah-ha!
Got him!

"Petrificus Totalus!!" I shout . He was caught off-guard and gets hit. I smirk at him.
"Never underestimate women, Thomas-Patil" I tell him , holding his figure up by his dark hair.

"Mr.Potter?" I say teasingly.

"Yes, Ms.Black?" James plays along.

"I assume you will be taking care of this rubbish?" I ask , pointing at my kidnapper.

"Yes, ma'am!" He replies saluting "Leave him there for now , Babe , tomorrow Molly and I will come and take him to the ministry"

"Alright then. This guy kidnapped me just as I was about to enter my house" I say with a sigh , walking towards James.

"I see. Anyway you're safe now, Mav. I'm here for you now" he assures hugging me .

"I would have managed it myself , honestly" I joke and giggle.

"Uh-huh. Sure" James laughs.

"How did you find me btw?I know Sam sent you a letter but how?" I ask curiously , pulling away from the hug and looking at his handsome face.

"I'll tell you tomorrow." He says , smiling and tapping my nose "Let's go to my house. Your mum sent me a patronus asking about you. I told her that you were staying at my place for the night so that she wouldn't worry"

"Ok . Let's go" I say grinning at him . I'm happy I can spend more time with him.

We get out of knockturn alley , and side-apparate to Potter Manor . We enter the house quietly so that we wake no one up. James grabs something that was on the coffee table in the living room and we go up to his room.

"I don't have pyjamas though , James" I inform him pointing at the black dress I was wearing. He thinks and then reaches into his closet and throws me an overlarge T-shirt .

"Problem solved!" He says cheerfully .

"What about pants?" I ask him. He shrugs, blankly. I narrow my eyes and throw a pillow at him.

"Okay , okay , just kidding. Go to my sister's room , two doors to the left , and see if any of hers fit you. She wouldn't mind." He recommends.

" 'Kay" I grab his T-shirt and go to Lily's room. I find a pair of grey shorts that fit me and change into them. I walk back to James's room and see him waiting for me .

"How do I look, babe?" I ask him showing him my outfit.
"Beautiful as always~" he says smiling cheekily. I shake my head at his cheesiness, a little smile playing on my lips. I close the door to his room. It was now almost midnight.

He jumps on to his bed and opens his arms. I grin and craw onto the bed and into his arms. We cuddle each other and soon we are asleep.
