March 27, 1960, St. Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies

Outside St. Mungos, it was sunny with clouds and it snowing. Everything was peaceful. Inside was completely different. Two words to describe it : complete chaos. You're probably wondering why it would be so chaotic. Well it is really very simple. Maria Potter was having a baby. Not a big deal right? wrong! The Potters are a very reknowned family so there were many people there. Maria Potter was screaming very loudly. David Potter, her husband, was in the delivery room with her holding her hand, trying to help to soothe her pain. Finally, with one last push, the baby was born. This baby was a boy.

"I want to name him James. James Harold Potter," Mrs. Potter told her husband once she calmed down and was holding James.
"James Harold Potter. I like it. Welcome to the world James," David complied with a smile. He then looked down at his son with love in his eyes.
"Mr. and Mrs. Potter, congratulations, your son is healthy and is a wizard," the Head nurse said to the Potters.

Maria was then taken to another room so she could have visitors. When they got there, their close friends and Professor Dumbledore were there with presents to welcome the new baby. They named their friends, Arthur Weasley and Molly Prewitt his god parents (I'm not sure if they went to school with James but I'm having them go to school with James' parents). The next day, The Potters were allowed to go home with James. When they got there, James started to cry because he was hungry. This was how it went for a while. James would go over to the Weasley's, and David and Maria would go to the Ministry where they were Aurors. That was until July 10 when Maria had an announcement to make to David and her friends.

That night, she invited Molly and Arthur over so could tell them and her husband the news at the same time. She was very nervous and that nervousness only grew when the Weasleys arrived. That night, she made the classic fish and chips. James had mashed vegitables. She was about to make the announcement when Molly said that she and Arthur had to make an announcement.

"Maria, David. We're getting married!" Molly and Arthur announced together. Maria and David were both surprised, and were even more surprised to find that Arthur and Molly wanted them to be the Best Man and the Maid of Honor.
"Congratulations! I have an announcement as well. I'm expecting!" Maria exclaimed. Molly, Arthur and David were all very happy for her. Time went by and Maria's stomach got bigger. Maria was on maternity leave and everything was great with everybody.


February 10, 1961 St. Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies again

Maria Potter was in the delivery room again. It was 5:20 am and the baby wouldn't come! She had been in labor for 36 hours already and she wished the baby would come already. Her wish came true at 5:30 when the baby finally came. Maria was happy that the baby was finally born. The baby was cleaned and given to the mother. It was a girl.

"Maria, what do you think of the name Jessica Michelle Potter?" David asked when his wife calmed down.
"I like it. Hey Jessica I'm your mommy and that is your daddy. The Head nurse came in at that time.
"Congratulations again, she is a witch, and she is healthy," the nurse said with a smile.

Maria was taken to an room so she could recooperate. All of their friends were there, and James, and they all brought gifts for the baby. As soon as James saw Jessica, he instantly became protective of her. Every one thought it was cute at the time, but they had no idea how much aggrivation it would later cause. Jessica was later taken home and things fell into routine like before. Jessica and James went to the Weasleys and Maria and David went to work at the Ministry. The Weasleys got married and every one was happy. For now.


10 years later, September 1, 1971

All of the Potters were standing at Platform 9 and 3/4 at Kings Cross Station. Today was the day that James would be starting at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His mother was crying because he was leaving and his father was proud that he was going to Hogwarts. Jessica was happy and sad. Sad that she couldn't go to Hogwarts until the next year and that she'll miss her brother, happy because he wouldn't be around to be over protective. James and Jessica or Jessie as she prefers to be called, went to a muggle school before they would go to Hogwarts. James was very protective of her. He didn't let the boys talk to her and the girls just did what he said because they thought he was cute.

Jessie had to admit that her brother was good looking even at 11 years old. He was 5 foot with black messy hair, hazel eyes, and wire rimmed glasses. He was good looking and he looked like their father. Jessica, however, looked like their mother. She was 4 foot 7 with dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and was thankful for not needing glasses except for reading the chalkboards if she wasn't close to it. She then decided that she better say goodbye to her brother because she wouldn't see him until Christmas.

"Bye mum, bye dad, I promise to write as often as I can! Jessie! Be careful, I dont want mum or dad writing to me saying you got into trouble for accidently dying the teachers hair again," James said to her.
"That was one time, one time and you still won't let me live it down! I feel so loved! I'll miss you too Jamie" she retorted sarcastically.
"I'll miss you too Jessie. Don't be too different when I come back for Christmas okay?" He replied and hugged her before getting on the train that would take him to his home for the next seven years.

A home where he would have the greatest friends anyone could ever have, a place where he would learn that everyone isn't as they appear, aplace where he would find love, and a place where bonds would be tested. This place...

was Hogwarts.
