When Stars Align Chapter 1: Collide

Fic Summary: James Potter finds his perfect and orderly life upturned by the arrival of Regulus Black, former Beauxbatons student who fled France with his brother, Sirius, to escape their abusive family. Unexpectedly, their two worlds align. While James is trying to make sense of the unplanned, Regulus is trying not to fall in love.

Meanwhile, Remus Lupin, a boy hyper focused on school with no room for anything else, never imagined himself as a romantic. To him, it was distant and unimaginable. After Sirius Black enters his life, he finds himself entangled in an unsuspected romance, with the once unseen possibility of love unfolding before his eyes.

I'll be posting this fic on ao3 and the first two chapter are up now! but i'm posting the first chapter here too :) hope u like it!

When Stars Align - Chapter 1 - msmoony7 - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling [Archive of Our Own]

Wake up, eat a breakfast large enough to feed an army, say goodbye to his parents at the train station, sit in a train compartment with his friends on the way to school, catch up with everything they missed over the summer apart. Every September first for the last six years has been the same for James Potter. Routine keeps him sane, and he holds familiarity close to his heart.

He expects his seventh and final year to be all the same as all the others and it was starting out so. He got up bright and early, he has always been a morning person, and went downstairs to greet his mother who was making breakfast.

“Mornin’ Mum,” he says while giving her a kiss on the cheek. “Mornin’ Dad.” He ruffles his dad’s hair before sitting down at the table. Normally, he would help his mum out with breakfast and setting the table. But on September 1st, she loves getting everything together herself for her not so baby boy. Breakfast is ready quickly and the three of them eat while chatting about anything and everything to fill up their last few moments together before James is off to school once more.

“I remember your first trip to Hogwarts like it was yesterday.” His dad starts reminiscing over past September 1st’s as he does each year. “You cried the whole way to King’s Cross,” he adds teasingly.

“You remind me every year,” James smiles back. His first trip to Hogwarts is one he won’t forget. Scared and young, he had no friends and had never been away from home or his parents before. He cried the entire trip to the train station and almost the entire train ride, only to be consoled by a small boy by the name of Peter Pettigrew. Quiet Remus Lupin was also in the train compartment but was no help to James and quite literally just stared at him as he sobbed. The sorting ceremony came next and thankfully, all three boys were sorted into the same house. Having a familiar face nearby always helped James out. Since that day, the three have been inseparable. After going through this the first time, his friends have made the trip and distance from home easier. Still, he makes sure to treasure his time home with his family.

After helping his mum clean up, against her wishes, his parents load up the car with his luggage and get ready to leave for the train station. Surely he can get there himself, but his parents want to see him all the way to the train.

The drive is filled with laughter, which eases James’s nerves. Even after doing this six times before, he still gets anxious about leaving home. Once at the station, the three of them walk inside and prepare to run through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. This has always been James’s favorite part of the entire day.

Once through, he quickly finds the Lupin and Pettigrew Families minus Remus and Peter.

“How’d summer treat you?” Remus’s dad, Lyall, asks James. His accent is thick and almost too difficult to understand. But after years of being Remus’s friend, he’s caught on to the Welsh twang. Casual chit chat fills the air between James and the adults while James is filled with excitement on the approaching school year. Too excited to see his friends, he says a quick goodbye to the adults as he pulls his parents away to say their goodbyes.

“I’ll miss you guys,” James says to his parents, holding back tears. This is the worst part, he thinks. And no matter how many times he does it, no matter how many friends are waiting on the train for him, he’ll never be able to do it without tears brimming his eyes.

“We’ll see you soon, honey.” His mom consoles him, running her thumb across his cheek.

“Please, no more trouble either,” his dad adds light-heartedly. Over the past years, he and his friends have been given the title of troublemakers in the halls at Hogwarts. “No promises,” he replies, pulling his parents in for one last hug before boarding the train in search of his friends.

Every year on September 1st, the three boys sit in the same compartment they met in. James heads over to their designated spot near the front of the train and yells to his friends as he opens the door. “Remus-” he cuts himself short as he realizes that Remus, in fact, is not in the cart. His eyes lock with a curly black haired boy he’s never seen before.

“What the fuck is a Remus,” he says annoyed as he looks up from his book. James blushes slightly at his French accent and his attitude.

“Oh, sorry. I’m looking for my friend Remus. We sit here every year.”

“Okay,” the mystery boy says as he looks back at his book, leaving James standing in silence. “Are you gonna stand there and stare all day? I want to finish this before we get to school.” He says without looking up from his book.

James blushes. “Sorry,” he mutters quietly before shutting the door. It takes a lot to get James to revert into himself, yet this boy did it in less than a minute.

��James! In here!” James is saved by his friends calling him over a few compartments down.

“James!” Peter yells once he enters the compartment. “How was summer?”

“Amazing, how was yours?” James poses to both boys, trying to include Remus in the catchup. Conversation flows naturally between the three boys and they talk about everything from what books Remus was reading to new quidditch rules passed over the summer.

“What’s with that boy in our seats?” James asks.

“No clue,” Remus replies. “Didn’t get more than a sentence from him, not even his name. Knew he wasn’t gonna move so we just sat here.”

“Yeah,” James says quietly.

“It’s okay that we’re not in the same compartment,” Peter says, trying to comfort James, knowing exactly what he’s thinking.

“I know, just that it’s our last year here. It’s kinda sad.”

“We’ll ride the train a few more times before the year’s over. We’ll get there soon, don’t worry.”

The conversation falls into comfortable silence. Remus goes to read his book and Peter has fallen asleep. James decides this is a good time to stretch his legs and walk around. Staying in one place too long is one of his least favorite activities. He gets out of the compartment quietly and begins walking down the narrow hallways of the train. The sun is setting and everyone is in their prospective areas, many of which are sleeping. Sleeping on the train was always difficult for James, so walking was how he passed the time this late into the evening.

His train car was near the front of the train, so he decided to walk towards the back. He glanced into every compartment he passed if he was able to; He was a sucker for people watching. He noticed friends in his year, students in the younger years, and first years who looked scared out of their minds. It wasn’t until he got to the very last compartment in the car that he stopped in his tracks. Isolated in the very last car, he’s met by a boy who looks scarily similar to the one in his usual seat. Weird, he thinks. At first, James is intimidated by his appearance. He’s wearing a black leather jacket, black jeans, black Doc. Martens, and has messy eyeliner smudged across his eyes. The boy notices James staring and opens the compartment door, smiling, which puts James at ease.

“Sirius Black,” he smiles. “What’s yours?”

“James Potter,” he says tentatively. “Who are you? I’ve never seen you around here.”

“Just transferred here from Beauxbatons. You wouldn’t have happened to see a pretentious twat in here reading that book?”

“Pretentious twat. That’s a little aggressive, don’t ya think?”

“If you had a younger brother that shadows you with academics so hard that he literally jumps to your year, you’d understand.”

“I did see a boy reading a book. I gotta be honest, he kinda scared me.”

“Typical Regulus fashion.” Regulus, that’s a nice name, he thinks

“So, you’re not sitting with your brother?” James questions as he takes the seat across from Sirius.

“No,” he replies, “he likes being alone and he walked me to the opposite end of the train to ensure we aren’t near each other. I know better than to bother him. Saves us the argument.” James nods in response.

“So, what was Beauxbatons like?”

“Fine, just needed a change I guess,” Sirius mutters quickly. James takes note of his change in expression and changes the conversation.

“Hogwarts is great, you’ll love it here.”

“Thanks, I hope so. It took a lot to get here and I know Regulus will be displeased if it’s any less than he expects.”

“I’m sure it’ll be better than he expects.”

The two boys spend the next few hours talking. Turns out, they have a lot in common. Laughter fills the compartment and James knows that he’s found a new best friend. After Sirius tells a joke that has James gripping his sides in laughter, he hears the door to the compartment open. One look up and everything in him stops. His laughter, his breathing. He swears even his heart stops.

“Oh god not you again,” Regulus says while looking at James.

“Me again!” James teases. After speaking with Sirius for hours, he feels to have gained some confidence when speaking to Regulus that he was lacking the first time. “Why didn’t you tell me you had a brother? He’s a joy.”

“Can you leave? I need to speak with him.”

“Dramatic as always, Reggie,” Sirius says.

“I told you not to call me that,” Regulus says sternly.

“Told you,” Sirius says looking at James now, “he’s a twat.”

“I should get back to my friends now,” James says. “You guys are welcome to come over,” he adds.

“Thanks, but I better stay with him. He seems to be getting cranky.” Regulus smacks Sirius on the arm as James gets up to leave.

“Suit yourself,” James laughs. “I’m sure I’ll see you two around,” he says.

“Hopefully not,” Regulus adds.

James laughs once more on the way out before scurrying back to his friends.

“So there’s two new French students here and you think you’re in love?” Remus says in response to James’s twenty minute tangent after he got back from his three hour walk.

“Essentially. That’s pretty much the gist. Yeah.” His face looks prideful in his discovery.

“Now I’m not saying no,” Remus starts, “but you should think before you barrel down the hallway confessing your love. I don’t think your ego can afford another Lily.”

“Well Lily told me if she wasn’t in love with Mary, I’d be first on her list, so my ego isn’t too damaged thank you very much,” he beams in response. Nothing can knock his pride down.

“Whatever, I know nothing I say will stop you.”

“See, that’s why you’re my best friend.”

The rest of the train ride is filled with James boasting about his new friend and new lover, leaving Peter and Remus to count the minutes until the train arrives at Hogsmeade station. Thankfully for Remus and Peter, that time comes sooner rather than later and all three boys are off to the carriages. Once on, James is sure to point out Sirius and Regulus in the distance. Remus is thankful it’s dark out, blush creeping out on his cheeks at the sight of Sirius.

“See, I told you they’re cute,” James says to Remus.

“Oh shut it.” Remus can’t help but slide further into his seat as heat fills his cheeks once more. He tries to push the thought of Sirius to the back of his head, but there’s a small sliver of him begging to be paid attention to. Remus would have to work on this.

james🙏🏼

beefy james will follow chubby reader anywhere

especially when they’re at a formal event and she looks so pretty in her dress and she pulls his tie to get him to follow her 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yes!! Beefy!james and chubby!reader are that ‘walk him like a dog’ tiktok audio!!

James hasn’t spent a moment with you since you got here. Usually you’d be fine with it, he’s busy at his fancy galas but you really miss him and he’s wearing a pretty black suit that fits him perfectly and you want to squeeze his arms a little.

“You doing okay, doll face? Looks like you’re burning arrows into Coach Fennel’s head.” Sirius leans on the bar with his hand cupped around a glass.

“I wish I was. Maybe then I’d get a moment with James.” Sirius smirks, you and James are as equally obsessed with each other as people could get.

“Think I can help you with that, doll.” Sirius downs the rest of his drink and is off towards the coach before you can say a word.

You have enough time to order a cherry soda before you smell the expensive raspberry and leather scent of his cologne before James holds onto your hips.

“Heard you were missing me, angel.” There’s all sorts of amusement in his tone and you fight the pout because he looks too handsome.

“I was, haven’t seen you at all since we left home.” You sound a little petulant but James doesn’t mind.

James drinks you in as you take a sip of your drink. You’re in a lovely deep mauve dress, the silk of it molding to your curves and falling over them like it was made to. God you look like something right out of his imagination, perfect and gorgeous and all his.

His hand holds the column of your neck, thumb pushing into the hinge of your jaw making you look up from his broad chest

“I’m sorry, pretty baby,” he’s laying it on very thick. “How can I make it up to you, hm?”

Your hands trail up his arms and shoulders, squeezing as you go. “Kiss me?” It’s innocent enough, and James takes the bait leaning into you.

The kiss is sweet, he can taste the cherry soda on your tongue and leans in a little more to chase you. He moves to pull away but you grab him by his tie.

“No,” James chuckles at the wicked little sparkle in your eyes.

“M’heart, you have to let go of the tie or we’ll be leaving now.” You giggle madly, kissing him again, hand still clutching on his tie.

He suffers another hour before he lets you whisk him away, hand in his tie again and everything.

New Beginnings

Summary: Y/N transfers to Hogwarts from Ilvermorny and finds herself intrigued by the quiet, sandy haired boy Remus Lupin.

Pairing: Remus Lupin x Fem!Reader, reader not in a specific house

Word Count: 1.4 K

Genre: fluff

Warnings: none

masterlist

You wake up in your bed to the sun shining and the birds chirping through your opened windows. You arrived late last night to Hogwarts and slept in a little later than you had liked; It was nearly lunch time. Classes are starting tomorrow, so you are planning to explore the castle a little before then to get used to your new surroundings. Transferring schools in your 5th year was difficult, so you were hoping to make the adjustment as easy as possible for yourself.

Since there are no classes today, you’re free to dress however you like. You opt for a pair of light blue jeans, black converse, and a blue sweater with some vertical stripes over your chest. You sit at your desk and do your usual makeup and hair routines before unpacking the rest of your things. First you unpack your records and record player. You put on your favorite album - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars by David Bowie - while you finish unpacking. You got lucky and your dorm has a big bay window with a built-in seat with cushions and large bookshelves built into the wall around it, which is great for you due to your love of reading and insane collection of books. Your bed is in the middle of the room with a huge bed frame and blue curtains draping from the top. After you are all unpacked, you decide to make your way down to the Great Hall for lunch.

You only have to stop and ask 6 kids along the way if you were going in the right direction. The ever-changing staircases made for a confusing walk there. But finally, you make it down the last set of steps and can see the Great Hall in the near distance. You’re about to turn into the hall when you stop in your tracks as you hear a great boom in the hall followed by smoke and yelling. You see a guy with long jet-black hair run past you first with a glasses wearing brunette on his trail, followed by a shorter boy with blonde hair.

“Come on, Moony, we’re gonna get caught!” you hear the first boy yell. You’re about to turn around to walk into the Hall and see what’s going on but before you could do so, you hear an “oh, shit” and as you turn fully around, are knocked to the floor by someone running full speed out of the hall. You hit the ground and lock eyes with a sandy haired boy who's laying fully on top of you. You’re staring at each other for a solid five seconds before the blonde boy yells at him.

“Moony, hurry up! Snape’s coming!”

Moony, who you gather to be the boy currently laying on you, quickly helps you up, mutters a quick “sorry” and runs up the stairs to follow the other three boys. You can hear them muttering and making fun of him for falling onto you as they’re running away, and you see “Moony” trip again before all four boys disappear up the steps. Just as they disappear, a raven-haired boy with smoke and powder all over him storms out of the hall and up the steps. You make out that he must be Snape and that the explosion was definitely caused by those boys.

You finally gather yourself and you see three girls standing by the doorway who must’ve watched everything go down.

“Quite a tumble you took there. That’s Moony, he’s a klutz,” says a girl with dark, curly hair and a darker complexion, “My name’s Mary. Are you new here?”

“Yeah, my name’s Y/N, I just got here last night.

“Ahhh you’re American! I’m Marlene,” the second girl speaks up. She has blonde hair and a really cool vibe to her.

“You can come eat with us, if you’d like. I’m Lily, by the way,” says the final red headed girl.

The four of you walk into the hall and you cannot contain your amazement at what you’re met with. The ceiling is the highest ceiling you’ve ever seen, and it’s enchanted to look like the sky. Unlike your old school, which had tables divided by the houses, this hall had numerous smaller rectangular tables so that you could sit with whomever you liked. The four of you grab a table and start eating your meal.

“Those boys are the biggest troublemakers in the school,” Mary says, “Always pulling pranks.”

“Yeah, we still love them though,” Lily replies.

“You more than others,” Marlene says to her as she nudges and winks at her.

Lily blushes in response, “James, the one wearing glasses, yeah, he’s my boyfriend. A real sweetheart. Unless you’re Severus, of course.”

“I take it that’s the boy that had all the smoke on him?”

“Yep, you’d be correct. The boys tend to overreact, but he really isn't a nice person. Steer clear of him,” Mary says.

“Noted. So, that guy, Moony, what’s up with him?”

“Ooooo, Y/N’s got a crush already?” Marlene snickers towards you, making you blush.

“Not a crush, but from our five second interaction, I think he’s pretty cute.”

“You should go for it,” Marlene says, “In all our years at Hogwarts, I don’t think I’ve seen him talk to girls that weren’t us for more than a minute. I’d say you have high odds.”

“Oh, I can’t do that. I’m too shy,” you contest.

“Well, that’s perfect! He’s pretty shy himself. What do you do in your free time?” Lily asks.

You list some of your hobbies for the girls, including reading, writing, and music.

“Well, aren’t you the perfect girl for him. He loves all those things. Tell me you like Bowie,” Mary says. You say nothing in response, shocked that they can read you so well, which causes the girls to yell. “You ARE the perfect girl for him. Come we’ll show you around the castle and then we’re sending you off to him.”

Before you can fight them on this, they’re pulling you around the castle showing you every nook and cranny. You’re grateful for this; You wouldn’t have been able to find your way around otherwise. They show you all the classrooms, take you on a tour of the grounds outside, up all the towers, and finally, you end the tour at the library.

“This is the library,” Lily says, “Since you like to read, I’m sure you’ll spend so much time here. Lucky for you, this is Moony’s favorite place! And if my calculations are correct, he should be in there right now. C’mon, let’s go find him!”

Lily is dragging you inside, and she’s a lot stronger than she looks. They drag you to the far back corner of the library in a hidden nook, revealing the sandy haired boy from before sitting on a couch, nose deep in a book. He doesn’t hear you guys approaching at first and once you guys are a few feet away from him, he pulls his head out of his book and looks up. He immediately locks eyes with you, causing both of you to blush.

“Gotta go, bye!” Marlene says as she pulls Lily and Mary away from you, leaving you alone with the boy. The two of you still staring at each other, not knowing what to say.

“Hi,” you say breathlessly.

“Hi,” he says back.
