A/N: This is the new revised version of Love Triangle. Basically same stuff, only I think that it's definitely better then it was before. So check it out, and the other chapters will be following soon!
Chapter One:
Most people don't know me by my real name. Instead of calling me Will or William or something along those lines, they call me James Potters older brother. It used to bug me a lot. But I grew used to it after time. Now if someone were to refer to me as his older brother, I probably wouldn't even recognize the fact that they didn't use my name. Its become part of my life.
I know what your thinking now. Wait. Wait a minute. James Potter doesn't have a brother! If so, how come I've never heard of him? You just had the same reaction that most people have when they find out we're related. No way. Or you've got to be kidding me. But I'm right there, next to my brother on the family tree. And the answer to your other question is quite longer I'm afraid. But simply put is that we're polar opposites. Like the North pole and the South pole. They just don't go together like Europe and Asia do.
But despite the fact that were not twins at heart, we do get along fairly well. I'm probably not about to ask him if he would be my best man or anything. But a couple of years ago, I didn't really like my brother. I secretly loathed him. Of course I never told him this or anything, I was always brotherly towards him, I never really let on about my true feelings. But I really was disgusted with him and myself. I hated that he was good at everything that I wasn't. He was popular, funny, athletic, outgoing, and he was naturally good at all of his classes. I wasn't. I was shy, quiet, not athletic, and I had to study all the time to make good grades in my classes! I felt like I was always in his shadow. That no one would never know me for me. Not to mention the fact that every time I would find a girl that I really liked, it would turn out that she would just use me to get to my brother. And every time another one of those petty girls broke up with, I thought that it was my brothers fault. That he had something to do with this. That he had put them up to it. He would always ask me at least after the whole affair, if it was okay if he went out with them. I said no. That it didn't matter. When actually it did. Each time, it ripped me into shreds. And made me loath him even more. And I blamed my brother for this. For everything. For all of my problems. This all changed during my 7th year.
That year was the year that my brother entered into his 5th year. I had known that he had an infatuation with a girl named Lily Evans. I knew that this girl would not give James the time of day, and this pleased me. I thought that this would be good for the kid, and maybe he wouldn't be the obnoxious prat I thought that he was. Well, I wished that he was. See, when I finally met this girl, I found myself in love with her.
I know. I know. In love with Lily Evans? No way!! I mean their like…like soul mates! Yes. Yes they are perfect for each other. Its really actually sickening if you've been around them for long. But anyhow, I was in love with her. In love with the same girl as my brother. What a terrible brother! Can you imagine? But I thought that it was okay. Seeing as my brother had everything else. What could one girl mean to him? I mean he had all of the other girls hearts in the school. Why did he have to have hers? He didn't! Besides I knew that if Lily agreed to going steady with my brother, that they would go out for a couple of weeks or a few months, and then she would just become another shiny trophy that he could add to all of his others. And then he would dump her and go chase after another one to add to his collection. So I figured that it wouldn't matter. It wouldn't matter, if I got Lily, and we ended up together. It really wouldn't matter. But how wrong I was. How very very wrong. But nevertheless, let me go on with my story so that I may possibly redeem myself before you give up on me entirely and think that I this sick awful prat.
So as I entered my 7th and final year at Hogwarts, I mad a vow. A vow that I would no longer stand in my brothers shadow. I would no longer just accept the fact that I was known as James Potters brother. I would stop self-sacrificing, and start doing things for myself. This was the year that I would finally do something my brother never would. I would win Lily Evans.
