WORD COUNT: 2.1k

“Roxie, where are you?” Y/N’s voice rang through the house, the chaos screeching to a halt after the Potter-Weasley family heard her voice. She called out again, setting her bags by the bottom of the stairs. “I missed you!”

Roxanne ran across the foyer, pushing her brother and cousins out of the way. “Y/N/N!” She scooped her friend up, spinning her around. “Thank Merlin you’re here. Your boyfriend was starting to-”

“Starting to what?” James’s voice broke through their reunion. “Do you mind, Rox?”

The girl scoffed, but let go regardless. “Whatever James.” She whispered to Y/N, hiding her head in her hands. “I can’t watch.”

Y/N giggled, patting her friend on the shoulder sympathetically. “Sorry Roxie, but you know how impatient he gets- Mmph!” James wrapped his arms around her waist, effectively silencing her with a kiss. “James!”

He grinned, pulling away slowly. “You were supposed to be here hours ago, love.”

She threw her head back in laughter. “James, I told you my parents wanted to have one last lunch before they sent me off.” “Yes well…” he sighed, playing with her fingers. “You know I love your parents, but…”

“James.”

He looked up, dropping her hand. “Yes?”

“Less talking.” She smiled, pulling him back in. Or she tried to that is.

“James Sirius Potter, let the girl breathe.” James groaned, leaning his head against hers. “She just arrived and you’re already bombarding her.”

He scoffed, mumbling. “For your information, she attacked me.”

Mrs. Weasley scoffed back, and Y/N realized that more of his attitude came from his grandmother than he would like to admit. “What was that?”

“Nothing.” He let go of Y/N kissing his grandmother on the cheek. “Nothing at all.”

The old woman laughed, shooing her grandson away (although he didn’t stray very far, leaning against the doorway and staring at Y/N the way that made her knees weak.) “Come here, my dear, let me look at you.” Her cheeks flushed, walking forward slowly. “You’re quite the beauty. Jamie is quite a lucky boy.”

Y/N smiled. “I’m much luckier, Mrs.Weasley. Your grandson is perfect.”

“You’re inflating my ego, love.”

She yelled over his grandmother’s shoulder. “I don’t think that’s possible, love.”

His grandmother smiled. “Full of spark as well, that's good, especially if you have to deal with him

” She hooked her arm through the young girl’s, dragging her into the kitchen (past James, who was stifling a laugh after looking at his girlfriend’s horrified face.) “You look positively frail, my dear. Here, I’ll show you the kitchen. I made rolls for dinner, but you can have some now if you’d like.”

Y/N tried to open her mouth, but James interrupted. “She had lunch an hour ago, Grannie.”

“Ah. Well, still.” Mrs. Weasley let go, building a plate for her. “It wouldn’t hurt.”

Y/N smiled, taking it gratefully. “Thank you, it’s very sweet of you.”

Mrs. Weasley smiled, patting her on the shoulder before playfully glaring at her grandson. “Behave yourself, James Sirius.”

James saluted, grabbing Y/N’s arm and pulling her back to the foyer. “Here, I’ll help you with your bags.”

“James, you really don’t need to do that.”

“I want to.” He kissed her on the cheek quickly before grabbing both bags. “Follow me.”

She had to, she’d never been to his home before. She’d been to Roxie and Fred’s, the Burrow, Rose and Hugo’s, and the Weasley’s beach cottage, but never her own boyfriend’s home.

In her defense, she’d been friends with Rose, Roxie, and Dominque long before she had started dating James.

“Your house is wonderful, Jamie.”

“It’s been in the family for generations. The Potter side, that is.” He stopped at the end of the hallway, opening the door. “Here we are, your room for the summer.”

“It’s-” She stopped, gasping at the room. “This is too much.”

“What do you mean?” James raised an eyebrow. “I’m sorry?”

“No, don’t apologize.” She grinned, turning around. “Have I mentioned you’re perfect?”

He shrugged, stalking toward her with a boyish grin on his face. “Once or twice.”

She jumped on the bed, urging him to follow. “Perhaps I should show you?”

He grinned, pulled his wand out of his back pocket, and slammed the door shut. “You drive me wild.”

She laughed, covering her face with her hands. “James, stop trying to make me blush.”

“I’m not trying.” He whispered, leaning down until they were inches apart. “You’re very easy to compliment. It’s not my fault you get all red and adorable.”

“He did what?” Y/N laughed. “That’s not what I was told.”

George nodded. “And what exactly did my dear nephew tell you?”

“It wasn’t just James. Both he and Fred convinced me that the car was given to them. They told me that they were supposed to wait for their grandfather to teach them how to drive it.”

The table burst into laughter yet again, and James looked like he wanted to murder his cousin. He hissed, kicking Fred under the table. “You just had to tell him.”

George leaned forward, drawing the focus back to him. “The boys were never supposed to get the car, it was supposed to be Hugo and Albus’s. They stole the car, and had the whole family searching for them for two days.”

Y/N gasped, cackling while she clutched onto James’s arm for support. “You absolute nuisance.”

Harry smirked. “Quite.”

Ginny shook her head. “Don’t encourage him. After we found them, this nuisance was then grounded for two weeks.”

James glared, sticking his tongue out childishly at his mother. “The worst two weeks of my life.”

“I thought you said the worst two weeks were when McGonagall made you clean out the toilets for that prank you pulled in fourth year.”

He tilted his head. “Well… that would have to be a close second.”

Y/N laughed, kissing his cheek gently. “Ever the dramatic.”

She had just drifted off to sleep when her door was flung open. She grabbed the covers, pulling them up. “Who is it?”

The light illuminated the intruder, and she sighed, jumping out of her bed and pulling him in the room. “What are you doing? I thought you said your parents had wards on all your rooms.”

“I did.” He nodded, shutting the door behind him. “But I also know how to deactivate those wards.”

“Ah.” She grinned. “James, what are you doing in here?”

“Fred, Dom, Roxie, Al, Lil, Hugo, Rose, Lucy, and the rest of the cousins are going down to the lake. I thought…” He inched toward her, draping an arm over her waist. “You’d want to come with.”

Her eyes sparked. “Let me find my bathing suit!”

James turned around, tapping his foot as he took in his surroundings. “I’m sure whichever one you pick will look perfect.”

She smiled, crossing her arms. “You can turn around now.”

“About ti-” His jaw dropped. “Godric. You’re an angel.”

She scoffed, her whole body flushing. It felt like she was burning, especially with the way James was staring at her. “Stop it.” She walked past him, grabbing his hand. “Let’s go.”

“Marco!” James called out, flailing his arms around as he tried to catch anyone around him. The rest of them laughed, muffling themselves so he wouldn’t find them. Roxie leaned over, whispering in her friend's ear. “He’s utterly helpless.”

Y/N nodded. “You think he would be better at this game, with all his athletic ability.”

James scoffed. “I can hear you two.”

They shrieked, paddling away. Fred yelled out, creating a diversion. “Polo!”

James whipped around, racing toward his cousin. Albus laughed. “He’s too entertained by this game.”

Y/N nodded, getting out of the lake and laying beside him. “It’s sweet.”

Lilly laughed. “Of course, you think so. You have to say that.” She sat up, wiggling her eyebrows. “The Boyfriend-girlfriend code and whatnot.”

Y/N shrugged. “Whatever you say Lils.”

Fred cackled and drew their attention away from their conversation. “He’ll never get me!”

James groaned, opening his eyes. Fred gasped. “That’s cheating.”

“I don’t care.” James teased. “Start swimming.”

Roxie hissed. “Don’t get too loud or the parents will find out.” She laid her head on Y/N’s lap, picking at a daisy. “Technically speaking, we’re not supposed to be out here this late.”

Molly rolled her eyes. “Roxie, come on. Live a little.”

Lucy shook her head. “We should all listen to Roxie a little more. Remember last time they found out?”

Hugo laughed, nodding. “When were were nine?” The rest of the cousins started laughing too. “They don’t care anymore. Relax Lu. Go back to your book.”

Lucy scoffed, sticking out her tongue. “Fine, I will.”

A shadow cast over the pair, and before they could react, James started shaking off his lake water on them. “James!” Roxie and Y/N shrieked, but he didn’t stop. He grinned, crossing his arms. “The both of you- scratch that- the lot of you are quitters. Fred and I were the only ones playing.” He glared at his girlfriend. “Your betrayal hurts.”

She jutted her bottom lip out, feigning empathy. “Forgive me, love.”

He sighed. “If you insist.” Popping his hip, he stared at his cousin until she opened her eyes.

Roxanne raised an eyebrow. “May I help you?”

He nodded. “I believe you’re in my spot.”

“Finders keepers Potter.” She closed her eyes, leaning back. “There’s room beside her.”

James scoffed. “Actually, come to think of it…” He extended his hand. “I have a surprise for you.”

“Oh?” Y/N grinned. “What kind of surprise?”

Everyone groaned, Lily, going so far as to gag. “Godric you two, take it somewhere else.”

James hissed at his sister. “That’s what I’m trying to do Lily.”

Roxanne whined. “Please don’t move Y/N/N. I just got comfortable.”

Y/N laughed. “Roxie…”

Fred smirked. “She’s using her ‘get out of detention’ voice.”

“Roxie, can you please move?” She smiled sweetly. “I promise tomorrow I’ll be all yours.”

James scoffed. “What-”

Y/N whipped her head up, widening her eyes. “Please?”

Roxanne rolled over, releasing her friend. “Fine, fine.”

Y/N grabbed James hand, following after him eagerly. Albus laughed. “They’re smitten.”

Lucy sighed, looking up from her book. “They’re adorable.”

Louis smiled. “They’re getting married.”

“Who’s getting married?” Another voice broke through the comfortable arguing.

“Teddy!” Lily and Albus jumped up, racing toward her godbrother. He grinned, catching both of them effortlessly. “Helga, I missed you two!”

“Victorie!” The rest of the cousins raced toward the eldest, grinning. They quickly sat back down in a huddle, gossiping about the missing couple. Molly leaned forward. “So why do you think they’re getting married?”

Teddy laughed. “Besides the fact that James wrote me and said he wants to marry her? Not much.”

Fred rolled his eyes. “We all know James is dramatic, we don’t know what will happen.”

Roxanne turned around, tilting her head curiously at her brother. “So you don’t think they’re going to get married?”

“I didn’t say that.” Fred grinned. “Sometimes, when James is sleeping, I can hear him talking about her.”

Albus laughed, shaking his head in secondhand embarrassment. “Salazar, he’s humiliating himself.”

“James, take your hands off of my eyes.”

“What good is a surprise if you can’t see the awe on your face?” They stopped. “Ready?”

She nodded. “Whenever you are.”

“Prepare to be amazed.” He pulled back his hands. “What do you think?”

Y/N tilted her head. “Jamie… it’s a wall.”

He sighed, feigning disappointment. “Oh sweet sweet Y/N.” He hooked his arm around her waist. “Hold on.”

“Hold on? Why would I-” She gasped, grabbing his waist. They floated past the first floor, past the second, and the third, landing on the roof facing the sunrise. “James.” She let go, walking closer to the edge. “This is beautiful.”

She turned around, kissing him gently. “Consider me surprised.”

“Glad I could be of service.” He leaned his forehead against hers. “I- I have to tell you something.”

“Tell me something.” She whispered, their eyes locked in a dangerous dance.

“I-” He swallowed thickly. “I lo-” She lept up, colliding their lips.

“I love you too.”

He grinned, shaking his head. “You didn’t even let me finish my sentence.”

“I’m sorry.” She smirked. “You were saying?”

He nodded. “Good. As I was saying…” He stared at her again, his cheeks bright red. “I love you.”

“James…” She smiled.

“Yeah?”

“In the future, please make sure the surprise doesn’t face your cousins.”

“What-” He looked behind her, laughing. “They’ve been watching us the whole time haven’t they?”
