chapter 2
The next morning I wake up to the smell of food,´. I stand up and get dressed. When I go downstairs and into the kitchen I see my beatiful husband cooking breakfast, shirtless. I can feel my face heat up. Right now I must be as red as a tomato. "Good morning." I say. Hey replays with, "Good morning, Reggie. I´m almst finished with breakfast. It would be lovely if you could bring the plates to the table." "Sure. You know, Jamie I love to seeing you shirtless or completely nacked, but it would be lovely if you could put on a shirt. I really don´t want you to catch a cold." "Could you maybe then get one for me than from upstairs?" "Of course, but first I will put everything on the table." After That I go upstairs and get James one of his hoodies. When i come down the stairs again, he is putting the pancakes on the table. I give him his hoodie and sit down at the table. "Thank you, love", he says. Then he puts on the hoodie and also sits down. We star chatting with eachother, while we eat and at the end we come to the conclusion, that we want to invit Sirius and Remus over for dinner tomorrow on sunday. After we put everything away, James comes to me and says that he has a surprise for me, but we have to drive there a bit. When we are in the car he gives me a blindfold, that I put on. We drive for a bit. When the car stops, James gets out and helps me to get out of the car. When he takes the blindfold off, I look at him confused. We are standing in front of a pet store. "You always wanted to have a cat and I thought why don´t make your wish come true." "Are you for real?" "Yes, we are getting a cat." "Thank you, Thank you, Jamie. You´re the best." "I already looked for a owner who sells there kitten, but I thought that we should first pick up stuff for the cat." After we got the stufffor the cat, we drove to the person, who´s selling the kittten, to take a look at the kitten. When we arrived there, we were gretted by a nice older lady. She showed use to the little kittens. All the kittens strait up came to us, but my eye got caught by one that stayed at the back. I asked the lady about that kitten and she told me that this one was a little bit more shy and when she didn´t like someone she could be really feisty. She really caught my attantion so I slowly came near and hold out my hand, so that she could smell it. At first she backed away, so I sat down and waited. Then she slowly came near and sniffed my hand. Then she came even closer and made herself comfortable in my lab. I turned to the lady and asked if we could take her. She said, that we coud definatly take her. She never seemed to like anyone, but her. So she´s really happy that she found someone that would want to take her. We filled out all the formales and went back to the car, now with a kitten. When we got home I start to play with the little one, while James takes out his phone and calls someone. I know that he called my brother, when he says "Hello Padfoot.". When we still went to shool, they were a friendgroup and they had thouse silly nicknames for eachother. My brother, was padfoot, his husband, Remus was moony and my husband James was prongs. James seems to have ended the call, because he comes to me and says that they would love to come over tomorrow, to meet again and to meet the little kitten. He also says that he will go to the supermarket to get things for dinner tomorrow and he asked if I need anything. I say that he should uy some chocolate, but exept that I didn´t need anything else. The chocolate was more for Remus, because he really likes chocolate.
While we were in school me and my brother had some difficulties and didn´t like eachother that much. I didn´t really had friends, but at some point me and Remus kinda became friends. He was the first person that I told that I had a crush on James. He was really supportiv and even wanted to set us up, but I said no, because there was no way that he could like me back. The first time me and James really talked was in my 5th and his 6th year of school. It wasn´t really a happy talk, because that day I found him crying on top of the astronomie tower. At first I just waanted to walk away, but I could´nt bring myself to leave and he had already seen me and tried to hide the fakt that he had been crying. "Oh, hi Reggie. What are you doing here?" "Hello Potter, I just came here for some peace, my roommates can be hella annoying." "Oh, if you came here fr peace I should propably leave." "Why? You were here first." "Yeah, but I´m loud and annoying, so I wouldnt give you the peace that you´re searching for." "Yes, you can be a bit more loud, but annoying? Who said that to you?" "The people say that all the time, when they think I can`t hear them." "You know, you´re allowed to cry. I won´t judge you." "What do you mean?" "I saw that you cried when I came here. I also know that I´m probaply the last person that you want to talk with about that, but if you want to talk about it I would listen to you." "Wow, Reggie, i didn´t knew you were that soft." "I take it back, Potter and don´t call me Reggie." I say, while getting up, so that I could leave. "Please dn´t go. I´m sorry, Regulus." "I will stay, if you tell me what got the always happy Potter to cry" "Fine, but just because I don´t wanna be alone right now." "Now, Why were you crying?" I asked, while sitting back down. "It´s just really much pressure. With all the exams coming up and my parents want me to have perfekt grades. There also pressuring me into getting a gierlfriend. When I told them last holidays that I´m bisexual and like a boy, my Father didn´t toke it that well and now he´spusching me even more to get a gierlfriend, so that I can´t ruin the family name and bring shame on my family. All the time till the end of the holidays I could hear them fighting. I know that´s my fault and I just want them to stop fighting. On top of that there is also the pressure of being the quidditch captain. I have to make sure that we´re prepaired for the matches and then there is also the planning for our pranks. So I come here sometimes to just let m emotions out, because nobody really comes here. But why do you even care? Where not even friends or something like that. Omg, I´m sorry. I didn´t mean to say that Regulus." "It´s okay James. You´re right we´re not friends." "So why did you asked now?" " Because like I said I was wondering what made sunshine Potter cry and also, because Remus said that he was worried about you. He said you´re spaicing out really often and that you just didn´t seemed as happy as before." "Of course moony noticed it. He really is observend and clever. Wait, since when do you and Remus talk?" Fuck. I didn´t think before talking",I tought. "Ähm, we study sometimes together in the libary." "Of course, you two really are Nerds." "Were not we just like reading and want to have good grades. But you´re changing the subjekt. i really think you should talk to them about that. It can make things easier and they can help you. And no word to Sirius about me and Remus studing together." "No word is leaving my lips, but I can´t talk to them about that. I´m supposed to be the happy friend and to help people with there problems and not burden people with my problems." "James, You don´t have to bottle everything up, you´re not aburden. Everyone has his problems. It´s only naturel." "I don´t know." "It´s you´re choice. I´m just saying it could help." Then we hear footsteps coming up the stairs. "Shit" I curse "That must be Filch" "Here come to me." He says. I go to him and he puts a coat around us. Then Filch comes in the room. He looks around a bit and then walks down the stairs. "Why didn´t he see us?" I ask James. "It´s an invisibality cloak. It´s been in my family for generations. But we maybe should head back to our doorms." We walk together till we have to take different ways.
I get pulled out of my thoughts by the door slamming shut and James yelling,"I´m home, love." I stand up and go to the door. I give him a kiss and take the bags out of his hands, so that he can take off his coat. I bring the bags into the kitchen and put everything away. "I was thinking that we could make lasange.", my husband said while coming into the room. "That´s a lovly idea.Maybe we could also invite Dorcas, Marlene, Mary, Lily, Pandora, Evan and Barty, because we have last seen then long ago." "That´s a good idea. I will just quickly write a message in the groupchat, so that everyone knows there invite and before you worry we have enough ingriedints to make lasange for everyone." "Good." "I think I will start cooking the sauces now, so we don´t have to worry about time tomorrow." "That´s a good idea, Jamie." "Lily wrote that she, Mary and Pandora would love to come and moony and padfoot oviesly wrote that there coming." "Great, If you dont need help, I would go upstairs and work a little bit." "Do that, my love. I don´t really need help" I go upstairs into my office and start working. After some hours James comes into the room. "You done with work, love?" "Yes. I´m done. Should we head to bed?" "Yeah, I´m not really tired, but you look you´re going to fall asleep any moment." We go to our bedroom and change into our pjamas. Then we turn off the lights and go to bed. I fall asleep to James playing with my hair.
In the middle of the night I wake up to the shaking a bit. At first I don´t understand whats going on, then I turn to James and see him trembling in his sleep. That means he must have a nightmare. He started getting those three months ago, when his mother died. He´s constandly affraid that something happens to me or his friends. I carefully shake him awake. He quickly sits up. His eyes search trough the room. When he lays his eyes on me, tears start to well up in his eyes and he hugs me tightly. "Hey, my love. Everything is fine. It was only a nightmare. Wannatell me what happend?" He shackly inhails and says. "You died. You died in my arms. I saw the life creeping out of your body." He starts crying even more. "Mon amore, look at me" He lifts his head. "See I´m alive, it was only a nightmare. After James finally calmed down, I ask him if he wants to go back to sleep. He says yes and we go back to sleep.
