hiddenpolkadots:

• the jaw thing
• stubble
• that stupid grin that makes her want to push him against a wall and snog the living daylights out of him
• when he rolls up his shirt sleeves to practice spells or make potions
• loosening his tie at the end of the school day
• the jaw thing
• unbuttoning the first button of his shirt at the end of the school day
• being sweaty and flushed after quidditch practice because it makes her think about things which she totally shOULD NOT BE THINKING ABOUT
• forearms though
• the jaw thing
• when he stretches while doing Heads stuff and groans slightly
• SUCKING ON A QUILL IN CLASS AND GETTING GRILLED BY HER FRIENDS WHY SHE’S BLUSHING SO MUCH
• when he tries to be smooth and suave and comes across as awkward and endearing
• let’s talk about the perpETUAL SEX HAIR he sports
• have I mentioned the jaw thing as yet
• trying to be serious and then having his glasses slip down the bridge of his nose
• that one time she went to the boys dormitories to fetch Remus for rounds and instead found him with naught but a towel on after a shower and was blushing for the rest of the night
• she didn’t sleep that night
• because all she could think off was James Potter in a towel
• and then James Potter without the towel
• the jaw thing seriously
• leaning on the back legs of his chair like Sirius but inevitably falling off
• playiNG WITH HIS HAIR AND HER HAIR
• telling her dirty jokes
• when he starts feeling sleepy and looks all cute and adorable
• not deciding if he wants to be adorably puppy dog cute or quidditch sex god that has her alternating between wanting to snog him and wanting to ‘snog’ him
• sending her stupid notes in class with stupid hearts and stupid smiley faces with his stupid jokes in his stupid handwriting
• her stupidly replying to his stupid notes
• HER KEEPING ALL THE STUPID NOTES THEY SENT EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH HALF OF THEM ARE THE TWO OF THEM BICKERING AND BEING LIKE ‘OI GINGE, YOU HEAD LOOKS AS THOUGH IT’S ON FIRE’ ‘CALL ME GINGE AGAIN POTTER AND YOU’LL BE ON FIRE’
• buying her sweets and them surprisingly appearing in her bag or pocket or something after a particularly rotten day
• telling her that she looks nice in yellow
• her wearing yellow 80% of the time now
• the whole casUAL TOUCHING THING
• as in ‘my arm’s tired I’ll just use Lily’s shoulder to rest it’
• basically everyone thinking they’re dating already by the end of sixth year
• when he bites his lips or licks his lips or does anything that attracts attention to them
• consequently hating anything that touches his lips because hello, why aren’t they touching her’s
• pushing each other into the lake
• subsequently realising that pushing him into the lake means a wet James Potter and that brings back the towel fiasco and NOW SHE’S THINKING BAD THINGS AGAIN THANK MERLIN HE ISN’T A SKILLED LEGILIMENS
• hugging her at the end of the school year and Lily realising ‘oh, his arms are actually sort of comfortable I like it here.’
• WRITING MORE STUPID NOTES THOUGH THIS TIME IT’S LETTERS OVER THE SUMMER HOLS
• meeting up in Diagon Alley
• Lily taking him and the Marauders out to muggle London
• James being obsessed with how everything works
• James and Remus arguing over how a television works because even though James knows Remus is probably right he still suspects that there’s some sort of magic involved and doES THE JAW THING
• NO BUT SERIOUSLY THE FUCKING JAW THING I CANNOT
