Names - James Potter
On today’s episode of ‘Guess What TV Show Anna’s Been Watching’, I present a Marauders Era story, hopefully you guys will like it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone knew who James Potter was. Quidditch extraordinaire, prankster, troublemaker and attractive as all things. No one had ever ignored him or turned down an opportunity to ‘hang out’ with him, even if they knew they were just going to be a fling.
That is, until Y/N came along. She was a pretty girl with y/h/c hair which often fell in front of her eyes as she studied, her ignorance to her beauty making her more attractive to the Gryffindor male. The two of them had never held a conversation but they had exchanged fleeting glances and smiles in the halls and from across the classrooms. Occasionally they had met in the common room but no words had been spoken between them.
One morning Y/N was sat at the Gryffindor table eating breakfast with one of her friends. Just then the Marauders ambled in and James quickly spotted the girl and told his friends he would be with them in a minute. As the boy approached, Y/N’s friend looked up and decided it was time for her to leave, saying goodbye to the unsuspecting girl before walking out of the room, and in her place appeared James Potter. The girl glanced up, her eyebrows shooting up in surprise.
“Can I help you?” She asked, making the boy smirk.
“That depends. Can you stop being so pretty? Because that’s the only way I won’t be distracted by your beauty.” He replied smoothly. At this Y/N laughed, causing the boy’s grin to widen.
“Wow, that was quite something. How many girls have you used that on?”
“Why, I’m offended. No one could compare to you, and no one has ever been on the receiving end of such a compliment from me before.”
“Whatever you say. Anyway, I’m not sure I can do that. Anything else you want help with or are we done here?”
“Well, you could always help by, I don’t know, accompanying me to Hogsmede on Saturday?” The girl laughed again, gently shaking her head.
“You’re very forwards, aren’t you. Thanks for asking, but I’m afraid I’ll have to reject your kind offer.” James looked at her in surprise, not used to being rejected.
“Oh? And why’s that?”
“We don’t know each other. Unless I’m forgetting something, this is the first time we’ve ever spoken.”
“But that doesn’t mean we don’t know each other. I know you, you’re Y/N Y/L/N, we have Charms together. And you know who I am, so I don’t see the problem.”
“And Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures, but close enough. You’re Jack Potter, right?”
“It’s James, not Jack.”
“Oh, my bad, sorry John.” The boy tilted his head slightly in confusion as the girl looked back at him.
“My name is James, not Jack or John.”
“That’s what I said, right?”
“No, you called me Jack, then John.”
“Sorry, Joe, I’m not great with names.”
“Are you doing it on purpose or..?” James asked in a mixture of confusion and amusement.
“That’s for me to know and you to, eventually, find out. See you around Jacob.” And with that Y/N got up and left the smirking boy where she sat.

Hope you liked it, I was thinking of doing a part two if people want that. I’ve got two ideas for it, one fluffy ending and one angsty ending, so let me know which one you guys want!
