A/N. Just a little note for everyone. This story is to set the mood and give some background to another story I'm writing at the moment. Totally AU. Its'not the longest story or the most detailed, but I think it sets the mood just fine for the next story. Havnt got a title for the second one but I'll let you all know when it comes. Now just a few things, there are some things in this story that are different to what's been said on the internet about certain characters like about James' Parents. I have named them myself seeing as there wasnt any where that said them. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story. Please feel free to review! I love reading them.
THE BEGINNING
CHAPTER 1
It was 1965, James Potter was 5 years old and his Mum, Louise Potter was about to give birth to his little sister. James waited patiently in the waiting room with his dad, Lucas Potter.
"Well congratulations Lucas and James, it's a little girl." The healer midwife said as she came out of the delivery room.
"Can we go see her?" Lucas asked.
"Of course, right this way." The midwife said. Lucas held James' hand as they entered the room and saw Louise holding a small tiny baby.
"James, this is your little sister, Madelyn Ava." Louise told a curious looking James. James was fascinated by just how small she was.
"Mum, was I ever this small?" James asked.
"You were my dear, all babies come out small." Louise replied. James held her tiny hand and as he moved to his hand away, she held tightly to his finger.
"I think someone likes you." Lucas said and James smiled. James spent the rest of the afternoon watching Madelyn sleep.
"Is she a witch like I'm a wizard?" James asked Lucas as they left St Mungos.
"I'm sure she will be, we just have to wait." Lucas replied.
"When are they coming home, can she talk yet?" James asked "I can teach her about my toys." He added.
"They'll be home tomorrow and no she can't talk yet." Lucas told him "And as for your toys, maybe not just yet, they might be a bit too big for her." He added.
"So what toys can she play with?" James asked confused.
"Remember the nice soft toys we bought home the other week, those types of things." Lucas told him.
"Ok cool." James replied smiling. James was looking forward to Madelyn coming home; he had already decided to call her Maddie.
"Just remember when she comes home, to be very quiet as she sleeps." Brad explained to James.
"So do babies do?" James asked.
"Well at first she won't be doing much because she's so tiny." Lucas said "Babies sleep a lot and feed a lot. They don't do much other than that." He added.
"So it's not fun to have a baby around?" James asked.
"It is fun to have them around, you get to watch the little ones grow up and learn everything." Lucas told him "And then few years down the track, you can teach Madelyn new things." He added.
"Ok then." James replied.
"There's a very big responsibility with being a big brother." Lucas told him.
"What do I have to do?" James asked curiously.
"You will have to set a good example for her and look after her when she needs you." Lucas said.
"That is very big." James said.
"But you'll have us to help you be a big brother." Lucas told him seeing the worried look on James' face.
"Good." James replied and they both headed home.
