James looker around the great hall to try and find you. He hadn't seen you in awhile.

'James.'

He looked at Sirius.

'He's not here.'

You were friends with the marauders. You used to be a girl but you recently changed your gender. You had always felt more like a boy.

You expected you'd feel happier like this. During the holiday you did feel that way.. but at Hogwarts everyone knew you as a girl. Everyone would just stare at you and bully you. It was horrible. All you wanted was to feel happy with the new you but everyone made it impossible.

Dumbledore and McGonagall were very supportive. They even allowed you to sleep in the boys dorm now.. but other teachers would still often called you: She or by your old name.

'I'm worried about him. I haven't seen him in days. He's distancing himself on purpose.'

'Wouldn't you? Haven't you seen what everyone does to him?'

'I'm going to go look for him.'

James got up. He was really really worried about you. He thought you were amazing as a girl but it made him so happy to see you totally become yourself as a boy. He had always liked you and that didn't change. He still had a thing for you.

He walked towards the Gryffindor common room and walked up towards the boysdorm. He opened the door to your room and saw you just sitting there on your bed. You looked up and your eyes met James'.

'Hey.' He said.

'Hey.' You responded.

'I haven't seen you in awhile. Thought it'd check up on you.'

James walked into the room and shut the door behind him. He walked over to you.

'How are you feeling?' James asked.

You shrugged. James sat down on the bed besides you. You looked at him.

'Why are you here? Don't you have some big activity planned?' You asked.

'It's boring without you.' James said.

You looked at him.

'I don't believe that.' You said.

You looked away from him and played with the sheets of your bed.

'Y/N, I know what's going on. I can see it everywhere You go.'

He saw your expression change right away.

'Y/N..'

'James, just.. let of go, okay?'

'No. You reserve to be happy with the new you.'

'I am happy.'

'You're not.. and that's not because of you. It's because of other people.'

You looked away from him. You didn't want to be weak. You used to feel unhappy but now it was even worse. You thought you fixed it. You really did.

'Y/N..'

You looked at him. He saw the tears in your eyes.

'Talk to me.' He said.

'I just wanted to be happy. I didn't want this. I didn't know that this was how it was going to be. I just wanted to be a boy.'

James pulled you cl8ser and hugged you. You hugged him back and wiped a few escaping tears away.

'Let me be there for you. Let me help you.'

He let you go and you looked at him.

'Will you be able to?'

'I can try.' He smiled.
