harry potter x y/n #2

christmas with the potters.

"are you men being mean to my y/n." Harry came up from behind you, being playfully protective, James crying out some more.

"she started it!"

You started laughing and Harry joined in, "i'm sure she did pops." remus patted his back and walked away to go get a shot of whiskey from the kitchen. James sniffled and you could tell he was trying to keep a straight face but it didn't work, he started laughing harder than ever. making Lily shout at you to quiet down and get ahold of yourselfs.

James cleared his throat and started walking to the kitchen, "sorry Lily dear." you heard him say, making you and Harry giggle softly. "stop acting like a child James, set the table for dinner." Lily said in her soft yet scary and demanding voice.

Harry kissed your cheek and took your hand, leading you over to the sofa and sitting down, pulling you down so you were sitting next to him.

"you look quite happy darling."

you nodded and had a dopey smile, "always am when i'm around your family."

Some nights had past. it was finally Christmas eve.

You had been up early, helping Lily with breakfast while Remus was fixing up coffee and tea. he walked over and handed you a cup, along with some asprin for the hangover you achieved the night before.

"Thanks moony." you tiredly smiled and took them, turning back to what you were doing, slicing the strawberries on the cutting board. "you know you could've stayed in bed y/n. I didn't invite you to do work." Lily commented as she took the sliced strawberries and slipped them into the pancake mix, you ignored it and started grabbing the dishes to set out.

"I also don't come here to let my future mother in law to do all the work. If you would let me i'd force you to relax all weekend." You looked at her and winked with a cheerful smile, setting the plates down carefully. Lily just scrunched her nose at you, mixing the strawberries in and sighing when she heard James loud mouth come walking down the stairs.

"can you be quiet? we're all bloody hungover." Remus whisper shouted and hit James in the back of the head, which in response James hit him back, which resulted in both men fighting like they were sixteen again. "boys!" Lily shouted causing you to wince a bit, "we're not sixteen in the gryffindor common rooms anymore! behave." she huffed, throwing some of the batter onto the stove.

Remus shoved James off and rolled his eyes at him, James just laughed, like always. Sticking his tongue out at the poor old moony.

"James." Lily warned in an angry tone, you watched the grown man get up as if his wife was a monster, "sorry darling." he said quickly.

You looked back at her and couldn't help but chuckle, "you live with this man?" you joked lightheartedly.

"sadly." she laughed.

Christmas eve night, there were lots of laughs and games played, lots of childhood memories told, lots of stories. you couldn't be any happier than you were at this moment. You were with your family, your boyfriend Harry, it was perfect.. something you had always dreamed of.

"someone switch on the record player." James shouted and Lily obeyed, yours and harrys song immediately being the first to play. Harry immediately jumped up and reached out for you, Sirius awhing in mockery but was shut down when Remus also reached out for him.

You smiled and took Harrys hand, getting up and being twirled in a circle, a hand going on your waist and you and Harry began to glide with eachother. humming to the tune of the song. The whole world in that moment going silent and the only things you could hear were the song and Harrys awful singing, making you giggle.

Your cheeks were quite red and they hurt from smiling so much. Harry made you happy, this whole week had made you inexplainibly happy, you felt very happy.

The song went on for a few more minutes until it stopped and faded out, claps from the people around you started and you blushed even more. Harry kissed your forehead and led you to sit back down, whispering sweet nothings in your ear, making you giggle like a little girl again.

Christmas day. the best day.

It was the first time all week that Harry had been uo earlier than you, already downstairs and chatting with his family. You could hear them from your room.

You got up and fixed yourself before heading downstairs, rubbing your eyes and grabbing Harrys coffee out of his hand as you sat down next to him. Remus cheered as it was time to open the presents finally, Sirius being way too excited and starting to hand them out to everyone as soon as Remus breathed.

A few minutes had passed when you finally got down to your last present which wasn't wrapped, it was a small black velvet box and Harry seemed awfully fidgety as he took it out of your hand. He moved and your eyes followed him thinking he was about to get up and walk away but you were wrong, Harry was down on one knee and your breath hitched and your heart starting beating faster than ever. Your eyes welled up with tears and you heard Lily excitedly gasp behind you.

"y/n you've—" Harry started but you knew how it ended. "save the speech you fucking dork of course i'll marry you." you couldn't help but basically jump up after he slipped the ring onto your finger, you being the first to pull him into a long shared kiss and a very tight hug.

"holy shit i have a daughter in law!" James yelled and hugged you both, Lily, Remus, and Siriu joining in after.
"i'm definitely helping the wedding planning!" Lily laughed.
"Oh my god we have to tell Molly." Sirius said as he went into the other room to write to her.
"I called it!" Remus shouted and high-fived James.

The laughs and giggles were echoing in the room, Lily already getting ahead of herself and James prancing around.

"Merry Christmas darling." Harry snuck in beneath all the chaos surrounding you two, "Merry Christmas my love." You replied, sharing a long kiss with him again.
