As Idiots Do
Summary
James texts the wrong number. The last thing he expected was a sarcastic person that would change his and his bestfriend's whole world. This is a college wrong number fic babes, mistakes were made. And apparently, Sirius and Remus really need to get their shit together. Mary, Lily, and (even) Marlene are complete angels. Regulus really didn't think responding to a random number calling him a dick would change his life but it did. Unexpected reunions, lost causes, and a lot of shit that we can't control. And apparently, Barty and Evan really need to get their shit together. Pandora, Dorcas, and Andromeda are complete angels.

Unknown Number

You are a dick, you know that?

We need to work on this project by next week and I won't have Minnie on my arse for you. 

So send me the fucking slides. 

Unknown Number 

While I appreciate the concern, it'd be nice to know who this is?

Not that I'm denying I'm a dick. 

I am. 

But I'd like to know who came to that conclusion so quickly. 

And what slides? 

Unknown Number

Stop being a douchebag, Snape. 

I'm just trying to get through this project.

It's not like I chose you. So stop making this hard. 

Unknown Number

Well, as much as I appreciate being called a douchebag. I regret to inform you my name is very much *not* Snape. 

Thankfully. 

That sounds like an awful name to be stuck with. 

Not that mine is better by any means.

But still. 

Unknown Number

Ok, you aren't Snivellous. 

I know for a fact that man has no sense of humour. 

Sorry mate, wrong number. 

Unknown Number

Wonderful reasoning, stranger. 

Given that I *told* you. I would like to say it's not that much of a suprise. 

Unknown Number 

I know. I'm a very smart man, stranger on my phone. 

AHA. 

I have a name for you. 

Stranger In My Pocket

So very ingenious really.

 
Truly impressed. 

However...

Why the fuck would you give a random person on your phone a nickname? 

Unknown Number

Same reason you still answered babes. 

Just curious and bored. 

Stranger In My Pocket

....

I'm leaving now, goodbye. 

Unknown Number

But the stranger on my phone!

I have nothing better to do! 

 

Stranger In My Pocket

Do you not have friends or something? 

Not that this isn't *so* delightful, of course.

But some of us have coursework to actually do for our classes.

Unknown Number

Come on! 

And I do have friends. 

Only that he is currently thirsting over my other friend. 

and pining quite terribly. 

There are only so many times a man can hear his friend go on

about his other bestfriends amazing qualities before he calls it quits. 

I'm also very much ignoring what I think is sarcasm on your last text. 

 

Stranger In My Pocket

I would say it couldn't be me. 

But that is very much me. 

Only that my friends don't realize it. 

So it's pining but with more moping.

Glad you noticed the sarcasm ;)

Unknown Number

OH was that a winky face, stranger? 

ALSO please don't be a 50 year old person, cause this is about to be awkward if you are. 

Stranger In My Pocket

...

I literally just told you I had coursework to do?

...

You are in uni too, right?

Oblivious Idiot 

OH THANK GOD. 

Oh wait. 

You gave me a nickname! 

Stranger In My Pocket

🤦

...

Ok. Goodbye.

Oblivious Idiot 

No wait! 

...

Stranger?

Hi?

Ok, you left.

Now I'm bored again. 

...

hi.

Stranger In My Pocket

Jesus fucking christ, you really don't have friends do you? 

Oblivious Idiot 

STRANGER

Stranger In My Pocket

I'm going to regret this aren't I. 

Oblibious Idiot

Well given that you aren't blocking me. 

I would like to think this isn't too bad. 

 

Stranger In My Pocket

I'm tempted to....

stranger?

oh shit you actually left.

I mean deserved.

Anywho, bye, stranger. 

Oblivious Idiot

WAIT

I didn't leave! 

SOrry, my pining friend just came back. 

Is moping again. 

Apparently friend #2 didn't realize friend #1 likes them. 

I suppose that staring at them dumbly doesn't really say much about feelings. 

Stranger In My Pocket

Well, good luck to both friends.

Cause seeing how my friend #1 and #2 are going...

that might take a while.

Oblivious Idiot

We are hoping that our Moony figures that out before friend #1 passes out. 

Because he will die otherwise. 

 

Stranger In My Pocket

Moony?

Oblivious Idiot

OH. That's friend #2's nickname. 

I would say friend #1's nickname but he made me solemnly swear that I couldn't. 

So, you are stuck with just friend #1.

Unless I think of something else. 

And seeing how it's going. You can just call him Mangy Mutt. 

Stranger In My Pocket

....

This oddly sounds like a gang?

Oblivious Idiot

Yeah. A gang :D of friends :D

Stranger In My Pocket

Oh Lord. 

Oblivious Idiot

That's what she said. 

Stranger In My Pocket

Yeah no. Blocked for sure. 

Oblivious Idiot

But Stranger in my Pocket! 

ok yeah, thats getting to long to type out

I will just call you...

SIMP

Stranger In My Pocket

Simp? I literally have not simped for anything rn?

I'm confused.

Oblivious Idiot

And you call me oblivious...

Those are your initials! 

Stranger in my phone = simp. 

:D

Stranger In My Pocket

I'm concerened as to why I'm answering back.

But whatever.

Oblivious Idiot

But Simp! 

 

Stranger In My Pocket

No. 

Oblivious Idiot

Then what do I call you, Stranger in my Phone!

Stranger In My Pocket

How about you don't? 

Given that I'm only texting you for today. 

Oblivious Idiot

You're leaving me???

I'm proper heartbroken now. 

Stranger In My Pocket

God help me. 

Fine. 

You can call me Leo.

Oblivious Idiot

Is that your name?

Stranger In My Pocket

Yeah of course not? We just met?

Oblivious Idiot

We are proper friends now Leo! 

...

Is it an astrology thing? 

My friend is obsessed with stuff like that. 

Stranger In My Pocket

Sure whatever, friend who I don't know the name of. 

And yeah...sort of.

Your pining friend?

 

Oblivious Idiot

Yeah, my pining friend :( 

Who right now is telling me to stop ignorning him

So I might have to go. 

 

Stranger In My Pocket

Tell pining friend to talk to Moony. 

Ask him out to a movie or something. 

That might help a little bit. 

Idk I think that would help my friends if they weren't so oblivious to their own feelings.

Oblivious Idiot

Will do Leo :) 

Text you later 

 

Stranger In My Pocket

Text you later, stranger.
