The first few days back in classes went by incredibly slow. It was tough not seeing the boys every minute of every day, I had gotten used to sleeping with James, sleeping in late, breakfast made by Remus and Sirius. I missed the holiday already.

Since I was back to sleeping alone, I slept restlessly and often woke up with nightmares, asking for James.

Jolie even had to wake me up once because I started talking and thrashing in my sleep. After calming me down, she laid down in bed next to me so I could fall asleep.

It wasn't the same though.

My lack of sleep was making me increasingly irritable, which didn't go unnoticed.

I had my head hung down at the breakfast table, staring intently at my cereal.

"What's wrong with you?"

I slammed my spoon down on the table, "Nothings wrong-, why would something be wrong with me?"

"You're quiet and angry, and keep zoning off."

Remus tried to get Sirius to shut up, but failed, making James widen his eyes at Sirius as if telling him not to say anything stupid.

"I'm fine, I just don't feel well." I admitted, trying not to scowl at Sirius.

His grey eyes narrowed, "Bloody hell! Are you pregnant?"

"Do I look pregnant to you?"

"Don't answer that." James mumbled.

Sirius held up his hands, "You don't! I'm trust trying to find an explanation and I can't find one other than Prong's pullout game."

Remus smacked Sirius upside the head, finally silencing him.

I stabbed my fork into my sausage, "I am not pregnant. I am exhausted-, I can't sleep through the night, I have nightmares, and I hate my fucking bed!"

My eyes began to pool, and I quickly blinked the tears away, making sure that no one saw.

James wrapped his arm around my shoulders and kissed me on the head, "Hey, let's go for a walk. How's that sound, love?"

I nodded and grabbed my bookbag, slinging it over my shoulder before taking James' hand as we walked out of the Great Hall.

He led me down the corridor before turning and leading me into the abandoned girls' lavatory.

"James, what are we do-"

James pushed me against the wall, wrapping his arms around my waist. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing." I lied, looking down at my shoes.

He tilted my chin up, "Don't lie to me."

The tears began to pool again, and this time I didn't blink them away.

"I-, I am exhausted," I sighed, "I can't sleep, and when I do, I either have awful nightmares or get woken up by Jolie because I started talking and thrashing in my sleep. Then, she has to sleep in my bed with me, otherwise, I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack."

I took a breath as a single tear slid down my face, but was quickly wiped away by James.

"Hey-, hey, don't cry darling." James whispered as he pulled me into a hug.

I wrapped my arms around his body and pulled him tighter.

"Were the nightmares always this bad?" James mumbled as we pulled apart from our hug.

I shook my head, "No, they got bad once the war stuff got bad."

James kissed me, "Why don't we skip classes today, we can nap in my dorm."

"Can we?"

"Of course we can."

I kissed James again, "Thank you, love."

We walked up to the common room, hand in hand, only to discover that it was empty. I looked at the clock-, classes were starting in five minutes.

James led me up to his dormitory and set his book bag down on top of his trunk. I placed mine next to his and kicked off my shoes.

He walked over to his dresser and quickly pulled out a jumper that I could wear instead of my godawful uniform.

I silently undressed, pulling the red jumper over my head, and unzipping my skirt. James was changing out of his uniform and into a pair of grey sweatpants, and no shirt.

He crawled into his bed and flipped back the covers, patting for me to lie down next to him.

I happily obliged and crawled into the small bed next to him, resting my head on his bare chest as his arms instinctively wrapped around my waist to pull me closer to him.

James sighed, "I missed this-, I missed you."

I looked up at my boyfriend, "Me too, thank you for skipping classes."

He kissed me softly, "Anything for you, Daph."

James pulled the blankets tight around us, and I quickly found myself falling asleep quickly and peacefully. Something I hadn't done since we returned from the holidays.

James shifted against my body as he began to wake up from our nap, waking me up.

I looked up at him, sleep still in my eyes.

"Shit, I didn't mean to wake you up!"

I kissed him on the cheek, "It's okay, I feel much better now. No more crying."

"Good, I don't like it when you cry, it makes me sad."

"I don't normally cry-, I was just exhausted."

James absentmindedly played with my hair as he spoke, "It's okay, I just don't want to see you cry-, and I don't ever want to be the reason that you're crying."

I laced my fingers with James', bring our hands up to my lips as I kissed his hand. "You won't, I trust you. You won't purposely hurt me."

He squeezed my hand, "I won't, and I trust you. Don't break my heart, Beaufort."

"Don't break mine, Potter."

We laid in comfortable silence for a bit, letting the sunshine in through the windows of the dormitory, casting shadows across the sun-filled room.

"What time is it?"

James looked at the clock, "Almost lunch."

"If we go down, then people are going to ask why we weren't in class."

James grinned, "That's why we'll go to the kitchens instead."

"Well, I'm not hungry right now."

"Love, you really should eat-"

I cut James off by pressing my lips against his, kissing him roughly compared to our usual kisses.

He quickly kissed me back, pulling me into his lap so that I was straddling him.

When we pulled away for air, James was smirking, his lips blood rushed. He looked me up and down and bit his lip, "Yeah-, lunch can wait."

I smirked at him and began trailing kisses down his neck, all the way to his collarbone. I left love bites as I went, earning the occasional moan from James.

His erection grew beneath me, pressing against me as I returned my lips to his.

James kissed me passionately, with his hands gripping my thighs as he slipped his tongue in my mouth, deepening the kiss.

I used my fingers to trace every dip and curve of James' abs, trailing my fingers down to his v-line, where I fiddled with the waistband of his sweatpants.

James pushed me off of him and climbed on top of me, propping himself up on his elbows.

His lips left a trail of love bites on my neck, making me moan softly as he sucked on the sensitive skin above my collarbone.

James leaned back to admire his art, "You're such a tease."

"I'm not a tease, you just have to ask for what you want." I whispered, not taking my eyes away from James' hazel ones.

"Oh, do you want me to beg as well? Or is that optional?"

I bit my lip, "Either is fine with me, just tell me what you want."

"I want you, simple as that."

Just because I felt like pressing his buttons, I kissed his neck, making him grow even harder beneath me. I pulled away, "You already have me, love. You're going to have to be more specific."

James gripped my wrists and lifted them above my head as he began kissing the outsides of my thighs, working his way inwards.

"You're a brat." James muttered, shaking his head at me in between kisses.

"And you're secretly a sub."

He stopped what he was doing and looked up at me, "Is that so? Because I don't remember you saying that when-"

I rolled my eyes at him, "Do you want to fuck me, or not?"

James bit his lip and nodded in agreement.

"Then tell me," I teased, "I can't just make this easy for you."

James climbed back on top of me, pressing his boner against my heat, making me shudder with anticipation.

He kissed me deeply before looking up at me, "I want to fuck you, and I want you to be moaning my name."

I grabbed my wand off of his nightstand, "Silencio."

James smirked at me as he grabbed the hem of my-, well his, jumper, and pulled it over my head, discarding it on the dormitory floor.

I sat up and pulled down his sweatpants slowly, before laying back on the bed and pulling him on top of me again. James kicked his sweatpants off and climbed back on top of me, propping himself up on his elbows. This lean body moved slowly against mine creating friction.

James kissed my collarbone and breasts before kissing down my body. He kissed me right below my belly button before grabbing the waistband of my panties and pulling them down.

"Is this okay?" He whispered, his voice husky.

I nodded, "Yes-, please."

James took them from around my ankles and threw them on the floor where the rest of our clothes were piling up.

The butterflies followed along with James' lips as he kissed my inner thighs, where I wanted him. He moved up to kiss me but his hands stayed there.

I moaned as James began to rub circles around my clit. He was so close but was careful not to actually get there, teasing me.

"Who's the tease now?" I muttered.

James looked up at me and flashed his signature grin.

My eyes met his, begging for him. James rubbed circles with two fingers on my clit making me moan, and arch my back slightly.

I desperately pulled on the waistband of his underwear, tugging them off to expose all nine inches of him.

"Eager are we?" James muttered against my lips as he quickly sped up.

I nodded against his mouth and was practically waiting to have him inside me.

James saw this, and positioned himself with my entrance, slowly sliding into me.

He started slow, allowing me to adjust to his length since it had been a while since the last time.

James rubbed my clit as he moved in and out of me. His dark hair fell in his face as his thrusts sped up.

I moaned when he moved his hand to my clit, and began to rub figure eights. His breathing was heavier and he was slowing down.

I arched my back when James thrust in, hitting my g-spot. We both moaned softly as James sped up, which caused me to tighten around him as I released. He moaned as I tightened, and thrust one last time before stopping to cum inside me.

James slowly pulled out of me and grabbed his wand off of the nightstand. He pointed it at my stomach, "Conceptuum impeditionem."

"Contraceptive charm?" I laughed.

"Yup."

James laid back in bed beside me, pulling blankets over our bodies. He kissed me on the forehead, "I really am hungry."

I rolled my eyes at him, "Let's get lunch then."

I pulled my clothes off the floor and slipped on my panties as I stood up from James' bed.

My knees buckled and all I felt was an aching pain. I sat back down on the bed and looked at James, who was eyeing me curiously as he got dressed.

"Um-, I'm going to stay here, just bring me back some food."

James chuckled as he walked over to his dresser to retrieve a t-shirt, "Already hurting, huh?"

I flipped him off, "It's not funny."

"It's kinda funny and very impressive. I surprised myself."

"Okay-, okay, yes it was impressive," I admitted as James smirked at me. "Just go get us some food, lover boy."

James kissed me on the cheek, before throwing his invisibility cloak over him and disappearing out the door.
