James Potter I
Disclaimer-Do you really think if I was JKR I would be writing fan fiction?
1. He was an only child. He really didn't mind it, in fact he loved being spoiled by his parents. They would always give him everything that he wanted and gave in to his every whim. But when he met Sirius he discovered that having a brother wasn't all that bad.
2. He couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts. When he was little, he would fantasize about how great of a wizard he would become. How he'd become the crowd favorite at every quidditch game and command all of the attention when he walked in the room. And most importantly, how he'd be sorted into Gryffindor and make his father proud.
3. In all truth the first time that he saw Lily Evans on the Hogwarts Express he felt kind of sorry for her; crying and mumbling something about her sister. He almost wanted to comfort her, but decided against it as Sirius was sitting just across from him. But when that lanky, greasy haired boy walked in and started to console her he couldn't help but feel just a little but jealous that the other boy had gotten to her first.
4. He always looked forward to the full moon every month. It was a time that he and his best friends could roam freely without a care in the world. He loved spending the whole month planning on where they would go and what they would explore. Nothing in the world compared to the feeling of changing into Prongs and letting his animal instincts take over.
5. At first he really didn't understand why Lily wouldn't go out with him. He was a good guy. I mean sure he had a lot of self confidence and a bit of an ego, but all of the other girls like him, so why shouldn't she. Not until fourth year did he realize that there was only one thing standing between him and his girl. It was then that Severus Snape became his arch-enemy.
5. When Lily finally agreed to go out with him he couldn't believe his ears. After five years of insults and injuries, she had finally given in. That Hogsmeade weekend after he and Lily had gone through the shops and had a drink at the Three Brooksticks he led her back up the castle. When they arrived at the gates she thanked him, gave him a quick peck on the lips, and hurried off to rejoin her friends. He stood there for what seemed like hours with a stupid grin on his face, running his fingers over his lips where Lily's had been just moments ago. This, he decided, was the best day of his life.
6. When he, Lily, and the other Marauders graduated he was extremely glad to finally be out of school. But at the same time life wouldn't be the same for him. No more waking up in the familiar dorm, nor more monthly trips to Hogsmeade, no more quidditch games to look forward to, no more exploring the grounds every full moon. Yep, he was going to miss this place. But on the bright side, he had his whole life to look forward to with Lily by his side.
7. Many things ran through his head the day of his wedding. What if things go wrong, what if Lily and I aren't meant to be together, what if she gets cold feet, what if, what if, what if. When he took his place at the alter and watched the bridesmaids and groomsmen stride down the isle one by one he felt like he was going to be sick. But all of these fears soon vanished when Lily came through the doors and walked daintily towards him, a smile on her face and emerald eyes shining. He was the luckiest man in the world.
8. The day that his son was born was both joyous and terrifying. For ten hours Lily had nearly screamed herself hoarse until little Harry had finally made his entrance into the world. He was shocked at how much he looked like him. But when he finally opened his eyes James was glad to see Lily's bright green eyes instead of his hazel ones. James couldn't have been more proud.
9. During the time that he, Lily, and Harry had gone into hiding was the most depressing time of his life. Every day he would stare out the window and imagine what it would be like to sit comfortably in the Gryffindor common room with his friends by his side and Lily tucked protectively in his arms. Not having to worry if each day would be your last day. He missed the old days and would trade almost anything to have them back.
10. People say that you feel all warm and fuzzy right before you die. James Potter says to hell with those people. As he saw that fatal green spell coming towards him as if in slow motion, he felt his blood run cold. The thought that he would never be around to see Harry grow up killed him inside. Though he took comfort in the thought that maybe, just maybe because of his sacrifice Lily, his lovely Lily, might get to raise their son. He smiled slightly at the thought. And as the spell hit him and his body crumpled his last thought was that if his son could grow up to live a normal, happy life, than that would make his whole life worthwhile.
