Prologue:
How many people can look back to one moment of their life and say that moment was the moment their whole world changed? My life was filled with these little moments that stuck out more than most. I remember the first time I rode a real broomstick. I was six, it was my birthday. There were exactly four clouds in the sky. I remember the way the wind felt in my hair and the sun shined bright. I remember the day I got my Hogwarts letter. I was eating cereal for breakfast when an owl swooped in and dropped a letter right in my bowl. It took me about two seconds and then I realized what it was. I didn't even bother opening it, instead I ran around the house showing the rest of my family. I couldn't wait to go to Diagon Alley and get my wand. That in itself was memorial as well. 11 inches, Rowan wood and with Demiguise hair. It was particularly good for transfiguration Mr. Ollivander said. When I held it, it felt the time stopped and the world shifted. Even though it sounds sappy, when I held the wand it made me feel complete. The first time I saw Hogwarts, my first ever real Quidditch match, there were all of these first but the moment that changed my life the most was today, when Alison Leighton dragged me away from a party to tell me three small words.
"James, I'm pregnant" she said.
My heart stopped and I was sure I misheard her, but I knew... Something in me knew she was pregnant. And that the baby is mine.
My dad always told me that we live in moments. One small thing can change a life. One decision no matter how tiny can alter not only your future but the future of the people around you. Seeing as my father has saved the world on numerous occasions I didn't disagree with him. This was it, my biggest moment.
Nothing I did or said would be the same after this.
