a little manpower - neighbour!james potter x reader

wc: 1141

cw: none? reader moving into an apartment and meets james

an: i wish it was summer here so bad I'm struggling!!! what are 1 degree mornings!!!!

Why did nobody tell you it was so bloody hard to move out? Like, everyone talks about the money and the forms and all the confusing adult things, but why did no one tell you about the actual pain in the arse it would be to have to physically move everything you own into a flat three floors up? You didn't consider yourself the fittest person ever, not by a long shot, but you worked out and you didn't think you were weak. Yet there you were, panting like a dog after carrying another box up to your new home.

And of course, it was just your luck that you'd planned your big move-out during what may be Britain's only hot day in the whole year (only slight exaggeration). Still, you felt bad complaining. Your parents had helped you in the morning, moving in some of the IKEA furniture you'd picked out and had a good go of assembling some of it too, so you did have a bed to sleep on. Plus, a college friend had stopped by for an hour or two to keep you company and lifted some boxes with you.

So you didn't have much of a reason to complain, except that you didn't want to be doing it anymore. You were tired of walking up the bloody stairs and your arms were aching from the over-filled boxes. Plus, you had one armchair you'd found at a vintage store that had been sitting near the entryway all day, waiting for you to develop the motivation to drag it upstairs.

When your full-length mirror (deceptively heavy) had you almost in tears you decided enough was enough and it was time for a break. Not brave enough to sit in the woefully unpacked flat you trudged down the stairs one more time, crumpling on the grass nature strip until you were lying on your back.

Everything seemed a bit calmer like that, grass surprisingly cool on the back of your arms and legs. Your muscles relaxed for the first time in hours and you thought if you were in a cartoon you'd probably start fusing into the earth. The only thing that would make the moment nicer would be the peace of mind of knowing your belongings were all safely away in your new flat. And maybe an ice cream.

"Alright, love?" A male voice came from just beyond your head. You tilted it back to crack one eye open. A man was standing a few metres away, more shadow than human because of the positioning of the sun.

"It's hot," You said, "And I'm tired. And my limbs don't work anymore." You knew you probably sounded a bit like a child, but who were you trying to impress? The man laughed and it didn't quite match his silhouette; carefree and juvenile juxtaposing the muscles he clearly had.

"Understandable." You could kind of see him running a hand through his hair, "You must be the new tenant, right? I heard you were moving in soon. We heard you drop something heavy before... and cry a little." Sensing the conversation probably wasn't going to end with that, you sat up and turned to face him, still squinting from the sun.

"You heard a girl cry and didn't do anything about it? What a gentleman."

"I came out here, didn't I?"

"And you're not on the way out somewhere?"

"Touché." He had the decency to appear a little sheepish, at least from what you could see of him. He held his hand out for you, pulling you to your feet effortlessly. It was easier to see him now, the sun not being at such an uncooperative angle, and you tried not to look so surprised. The man was gorgeous, tall and muscular with dark curls, but his face was so friendly you couldn't help but smile. He was physically intimidating, but in the way that you knew he wasn't trying to specifically gain muscle, it was something he'd gotten through activity, like a sport or trade.

You stood for a minute, face to face but both silent. You wracked your brain for something to say.

"I'm sorry about the big old armchair blocking the entry hall, I can't lift it on my own and I just need a little extra manpower but I couldn't get any friends over to help today. I promise it'll be gone by tomorrow," You said, glad for both something to say and to get the guilty feeling off your chest. The man's face broke out into a wide smile.

"It's no worries," He assured you, "The people here hardly ever leave their apartment, I doubt they'll even notice. Don't you worry about it." Something about the way he spoke calmed your nerves, both about the chair and moving into the building as a whole. It was your first time properly living on your own, and you wanted to find somewhere quiet but welcoming. If this neighbour was anything to go by, you'd made a good choice. You smiled in return, weight lifted off your shoulders.

"Right, thanks. I guess I'll see you around..."

"James," He finished, shaking your hand firmly in a way that you didn't expect. You introduced yourself in return and you both hesitated, unsure of how exactly to end the conversation.

"Right, well, I've got training," James said awkwardly, gesturing to the kit bag around his shoulder. You nodded, starting to step back towards the door to the building.

"Have fun with that," You said, giving him a small wave. You waited until you were safely inside before cringing at your attempts at conversation, sending a bitter glare to the armchair as you passed it.

You didn't leave the apartment until the next morning, opting to peck at whatever you had in the pantry for dinner before passing out on a half-made bed. But you had to pick yourself up and decided you did need to grocery shop and actually fill up the pantry you'd just acquired, so you laced up your Converse and picked the keys up from the temporary table next to the door.

And there, waiting outside your door, was the old green armchair, waiting for you as if it had been there all along. You smiled, rubbing a hand along the velvet slowly. There was only one answer as to who it could have been, and James was clearly honouring whatever higher being gave him all that muscle by using it for good. You decided you'd have to make him cookies to thank him and set off for the shop.

Peter quietly shut the door, and grabbed the handles off his bike, a stack of newspapers shoved into the basket in front. He sat down on the bike, ready to peddle when he spotted James walking over.

"Hey, Mate!"

Peter leaned over the handrails, "What you doing here?"

James shrugged, "Got your letter the other day about your new job and thought it'd be fun to see you in action."

Peter huffed, "But it's so early, James!"

James grinned, "Eh, I would be up anyway."

"Well hop on I guess", he motioned behind him.

James' grin widened and he ran over, jumping onto the back of the bike and wrapping his arms around Peter.

As Peter began to pedal down the road, James piped up.

"So your job is the same as an owl?"

Peter laughed, "Yeah, I guess."

"That's strange... I knew owls didn't deliver to muggles but why wouldn't they just get an adult with an actual car to deliver the newspapers?"

"Cause it's low paying I suppose, and some kids our age need a job and all. Plus it's early morning, so muggle kids can do it before school starts."

Peter stopped the bike, grabbing a newspaper from the stack and jumping off to post it through a house's letterbox.

As Peter walked back over to the bike, James' eyes widened with an idea.

"Hey, how far do you think I could throw one of these papers?"

Peter bit his lip, "If you break it or lose it then it'll come out my paycheck."

James huffed, "Come on, Pete, I'll just give you some galleons if something happens."

"Fine", Peter untied another paper and passed it James.

James grinned, rolling up the paper before glancing around, thinking about where to aim.

"Hey, what's the next house you need to hit?"

Peter pulled the list out his jacket pocket, "Number sixteen, just a few houses down.

"Great", James kept the newspaper rolled up tight in his grip, "Let's go!"

Peter headed to the house, but before he could come to a stop, James yelled out, "Watch this!"

He chucked the paper towards the house, it derolled in the air, and landed neatly right outside the door.

Peter cheered, "How did you do that?"

James shrugged happily, "It was easy", he nodded to the house, "Do you need to put it through the letterbox or is it fine like that?"

Peter smiled, "It'll be fine... You want to do that again?"

"Yeah", James reached over and grabbed another paper himself whilst Peter rode to the next house.

The Car Owner and the Kickboxing Champion

A little sequel to "Noisy Neighbours and Bloody Bell Peppers"

Five years after their fateful first meeting, it's time for Harry to repay the favour and help his (very pregnant) stepmother Lily.

“Maybe I’m just too old to be pregnant.” “You’re not old,” Harry pinpoints, following her. “You’re thirty-eight.” “Geriatric,” she declares.

@jegulus-microfic september 28, debt, 291 words

Regulus’ hand is still hovering in the air where he’s just knocked when the door swings open, and Jesus Christ; it’s not fair that someone can look so good wearing something as basic as shorts and a tshirt.

“Regulus, hey! Let me grab your parcel.” He disappears out of view before sliding back around the corner in his socks, a small parcel in hand. “Here you go.”

Regulus had been out and about when he got the notification that his parcel was arriving today, and had quickly shot his neighbour a text asking if he could sign for it. James had sent back three thumbs up emojis.

“Thanks so much for signing for it, I owe you one.”

Keeping his eyes very decidedly on James’ face and not on the sheer amount of thigh he has showing, Regulus takes the parcel and turns to walk back across the hall to his own apartment.

“Let me take you on a date and consider your debt paid.”

Regulus drops his keys, feels the heat rush into his cheeks as he picks them up and tries to compose himself. He turns back around and says, “Are you trying to bribe me into going on a date with you?”

“No, I was just hoping that you’d want to anyway and this was an easy way to break the ice. So…?”

Regulus tries to hide the growing smile on his face, tries to appear cool and unphased when in reality he can hear his heartbeat thrumming in his ears and his inner monologue is just oh my god on repeat.

“I’m free on Saturday.”

James clearly has no qualms about hiding his enthusiasm, evident in the huge smile he gives him.

“Alright, Saturday. It’s a date!”

I JUST HAD TO WRITE THIS B4 I FORGET ABT IT BUT

Harry coming home late and trying to sneak inside the house but right as he opens the door he finds his husband with his children standing in front of the door and looking at him with a pout on their lips, arms crossed and one leg tapping impatiently on the floor.

The worst part is, his oldest, scorpius is holding a microphone and yells

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG MAN. DO U HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS RIGHT NOW??"

"WE'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK" says his second child, lily. and his youngest, jamie, is just punching on his leg with his little balled up baby hands, barely feeling it.

And his husband, damm that man for letting them do this...is just trying his damn hardest to hold in his laughter in the corner

In the end, Harry can be seen with red cheeks with his hands trying to cover up his face,and an embarrassed grin sneaking its way in, while his family, --he'll never be tired of saying that-- are laughing their ass off, stomach and cheeks hurting from the laughter that seems to force its way out

He'll have to apologise to his neighbors tomorrow morning

james’ fingers ran through sirius’ curls. his back was resting against the tall walnut tree in the potters’ garden, and the sun shine on them through the thick branches and leaves.

“i’m glad you’re here,” james said, looking down at his friend, whose head was resting in his lap.

sirius hummed, contentedly, and smiled, his eyes closed. “i’m glad i’m here, too, mate.”

ever since sirius had come to the potters, it was obvious that he was doing better. instead of the ghost-like pallor that he had when he showed up on the potters’ doorstep, sirius’ skin had taken a light, pleasant tan. his hair had gotten longer and his smile wider, and he was no longer glaring at james’ mother and father, instead now making light conversation with them, doing crosswords with fleamont and laughing with euphemia.

and, selfishly, maybe, james thought about himself, too. about how he was lonely during the summer holidays. his parents were great, that was undeniable, and they offered him everything they could; however, he could not, with them, achieve the wordless connection that he only had with teenagers, that he only had with sirius. he thought, within him, that this was good for both him and sirius; sirius finally had a safe place to live in, with people that loved him, and james had his best friend back.

james looked up to the thin rays of sun peeking through. it was bound to be a good summer, he was sure of it.

Disgraceful - Chapter 5

Summary - James Potter is attracted to his neighbour. Lily Evans wishes she wasn't attracted to hers.

During some time in the past twenty minutes, Lily knew she had gone from feeling warm and tipsy to screeching-along-to-the-music-until-her-throat-turned-raw drunk. Sweat trickled down her temples in streams, strands of hair stuck to the back of her neck despite the ponytail she’d secured them into before leaving the apartment. She was grinning too wide, cheeks hurting, face flushed red, and it was the best fucking party she had attended in quite a long time.

She was immensely grateful to Dorcas for forcing her to step out after classes despite all of her earlier protests.

Read from the beginning

Wrote this whole chapter in one sitting, hope you enjoy 😈💖

baby fever

pairing: james potter x f!reader

you’ve always heard your friends talking about the feral feeling they get when they see their boyfriends holding a child, but never actually experienced it until now. “whose this little one?”

james beamed at your sudden appearance next to him after you’d been busy helping his parents in the kitchen. “go on and tell her your name sweets.”

“kaia.” the little girl whispered shyly, her head nuzzled into your boyfriends neck in attempts to hide away. “are you jamie’s friend?”

“my girlfriend sweets.” james corrected. “i told you about her before, remember?”

kaia nodded and before you could strike up a conversation with her, somebody had called her name and she wriggled out of james arms and ran into somebody else’s. “she’s cute.” you smile, leaning your head on his arm. “she’s the neighbours daughter?”

they had only moved in recently and euphemia and fleamont had decided to have a little garden party as a welcoming.

james hummed in response to your question as he manoeuvred you around to be in his arms, your face resting on his chest. “missed you.”

“i was only gone for 10 minutes.” you chuckled, lifting your head and leaning back slightly to get a good glimpse of his face.

“10 minutes too long.” he groaned, squeezing you tight and only pausing when kaia shouted his name and waved something in the air to show him. “she’s the sweetest.”

you agreed. since you had walked out and seen him, your head had been clouded with dreams of your future. “you’re gonna be a really good dad one day.”

“to our kids?” he quirked a brow.

“yeah, to our kids.” you smiled bashfully at the huge grin that spread across his face as soon as you confirmed it.

“reckon we should get started soon?” he leaned to whisper. “i want a full quidditch team.”

you laughed and teasingly pushed him away. “you’ll have to learn to push them out yourself for that.”

he was quick to bring you back to him, always wanting you as close as possible. you’d always been very affectionate together and even though you’d tell him to tone the pda down in front of his family, he couldn’t help but keep a hand on you at all times. “i wouldn’t mind. i’m excited for our future.”

“yeah? when are you gonna propose to me then?” you grinned smugly.

“that’s a secret! don’t you give me those eyes.”

I just saw this video and I had to recreate it:

Jegulus texting:

Regulus: Why did you leave me a 20 dollars bill with a note saying "Bye ♡"

James: For the bus. Wtf are you still doing at my place Reg?

Regulus: I just woke up

James: Why the hell did you sleep for so long? Lily is off work, she's probably going home

Regulus: Shit shit shit she's here

James: Hide somewhere!!

Regulus: I'm under the bed. You do something!! Take her out, she's wandering around the place.

Regulus: The note and the bill are on the table

Regulus: James?

Regulus: Potter?

Regulus: ANSWERE ME

James: sorry I was on a meeting

Regulus: FOR A DAMN HOUR

Regulus: when is Evans leaving?

James: Tomorrow?

Regulus: I CANT STAY HERE TILL TOMORROW

James: Just sleep, I'll try to make her pick me up

Regulus: Someone rang the bell

James: whom?

Regulus: a girl, I think she is your neighbour

James: Does she have dark hair?

Regulus: I don't know James, I'm under the bed

Regulus: Holy shit they're on the bed

James: Doing what?!

Regulus: You don't really want to know...

James: Hold on! I'll be there in two minutes

---

Regulus: That's you opening the door?

James: There's no one here, did you lie to make me come home sooner to help you?

Regulus: She's hiding under the bed with me
