You are a loser that much was known.
Between blending in the background at home due to petunia and Lily fighting to being a quite observer at school you didn’t really know anyone.
It was weird, James was the only to actually talk to you. And it wasn’t in a condescending “you’re too dumb” manner and it made you feel oddly seen.
James on the other hand didn’t mind that much, it’s not like you bothered him and most of the time you didn’t even say hi to him during school. Well besides the little waves and smiles.
At least you tried to talk to him. He was you’re only friend.
You never really tried to get acquitted with any of his own friends and Lily friends didn’t like you since you hardly spoke so…when you had some questions about certain topics you would go to James.
And given you were growing up you wanted to know how to get a boyfriend so who better to ask than James ‘gets all the girls’ potter. It was perfect especially since it was during summer and he had invited his friends over for a pool hangout.
Yes you were his friend as well
