I should be packing and cleaning. But I made the mistake of visiting another fan-fiction site and read a fic on James that got one of my plot bunnies ticked off!
In this fic he was a right prat and abused his kids.

James Sirius Potter
Owner
James couldn't stop looking at the nameplate. In all his years of playing he had never dreamed that he would own a quidditch team someday. Thankfully he had listened to Teddy and invested every spare knut he got from the time he signed with the cannons.
Fred had done the same and now he had enough to finance his magi zoology studies without touching the family money. Damn James wished he were here, not in south America.

Maggie and Rose were laughing as they headed to the diagon alley WWW. They had just spent a quiet morning looking for baby clothes. Maggie and James had most of the things they needed, especially after the joint baby shower the family had thrown for them , Freddy and his wife Amy, but a few more practical outfits would help too.
Roxanne quickly finished with the delivery witch when she saw her cousin and best friend enter the store. Her stomach was rumbling, it was defiantly time for lunch.

Soon the three friends were settled in eating Hannah's excellent food.
"So has James come down from buying the cannons yet?" Roxanne asked laughing.
"No not yet, but he is having some problems with the older established workers."
"What kind of problems?"
"There seems to be a lot of resentment that someone so young is the owner. They all think an older wizard would have been a better boss."
Rose snorted, "That would be why the cannons have consistently been at the bottom! You can't approach sports with a centaury's old attitude and make money! Making money is the only way to get the good players."

Later, Rose and Scorpios were curled up on the sofa at the burrow. "Did you have a good day with Maggie?"
"We sure did. All those cute clothes. It almost makes me want to have kids someday!"
Scorpios had to laugh, his girlfriend was the least domestic person he knew. Still he also knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He had the ring in his pocket. Yesterday he had the hardest conversation he had ever had with her dad.
He was waiting to ask though. James had a question he wanted to ask her first. Al had told him about it today at lunch. James needed to have people he could trust, and who understood the new era of quidditch, in key positions at the cannons. Tomorrow James was going to ask Rose to join him as his vice president.
Scorpios wanted her to make that decision before he asked her to marry him.

James and Maggie were enjoying a quiet supper when an owl began urgently tapping on their window. James retrieved the parchment and gave the owl a treat.
"It's from Freddy! They went to the healers today and it is most defiantly a boy! Oh no! Amy wants to name it Fredrick Fabian Weasley the third! That will be 3 Freds at family get togethers!"
Maggie knew how confusing the cross naming between the Potter's, Weasley's and Lupins were. "I promise darling we will name ours ANYTHING but a name that someone already has in the family!"
