James Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways. For one he was a wizard
and was about to start his seventh and final year at Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry. For another he had no parents as they had died
when he was 5. He missed his parents but staying with his aunt and uncle
was not bad at all. James was busy writing a report on Werewolves: What to
do when he noticed a sudden shadow fall over his work he looked around him
and so an assortment of owls carrying varying packages. It was July and it
just so happened to be James' birthday (Oddly enough he was to share this
date with a son). He got up from his desk and walked over to the packages.
He looked at the first one it was from Hogwarts and heavier than usual. He
left that one till last a he usually received complaints about his behavior
and owing to its size they were sure to have found why the Slytherins
carriage got left behind when they headed home for the summer holidays.
Instead he opened a package from Sirius. Sirius was James' best friend and
sent him a key and a map. The map showed a secret passage from the Boys
Dormitories to the Girls Dormitories and the key was obviously to open and
closes the passage entrance and exit. A letter was also attached:
' Happy Birthday James
Congratulations really I hope you find this useful as I certainly have. See you in Diagon Alley as planned
Sirius
His second letter was from Remus and Wormtail (in one package) it was a Gold set of Wizards Chess. A hurried letter was attached.
Happy Birthday
Enjoy playing with these James.
Remus and Wormtail
There was one package left. James opened it nervously. He took out the first bit of parchment. It showed a list of his school supplies. The next letter was written in strange loop writing. James struggled to read at first but was taken aback when he managed to figure it out.
Dear Mr. Potter
we are pleased to inform you that you have been nominated to be this years Head Boy. Thanks for your co-operation and we shall see you at Hogwarts were you will be informed of your duties.
'Wow' James said allowed to himself. He put away his cards and presents and made a mental not in his mind to owl his friends the next morning. With that he got into bed wondering what his Aunt and Uncle will give him
James woke the next morning his Aunt and Uncle were already up and he slid down the banister to the living room. There were three presents two from his aunt and Uncle and one from his niece. After he said hello he started unwrapping his presents. His first one was a Broom servicing kit from of his niece, an advance look at spells and hexes from one either his aunt Uncle or both. His last present was small. When he opened it he saw the words my dearest love inscribed on them. 'It was your mothers' he heard Aunt Marietta say. 'I am sure she would have wanted you to have it'. 'Thank you' replied James.
Lillian Evans woke up in the mean time. She was also a 7th year attending Hogwarts cool of witchcraft and wizardry. She had come home for the summer but would soon be leaving for the Cinemas with her best friend Janet Willoughby and her boyfriend Todd Jackson. They too attended Hogwarts but Todd was in Hufflepuff and Lily in Griffindor. She liked Todd very much but she couldn't see him as the one she slept with for the first time. As she got dressed she too noticed a Hogwarts letter rather larger than usual. She opened it and first took out the supplies list then her attention shifted to the second letter.
'O my Gosh' she exclaimed as she too had been made Head Girl.
'Mum, Dad, I'm Head Girl' she shouted running down the stairs. Her parents were of course Muggles and were indeed 'proud to have a witch in the family. 'Well done dear' they said as they each gave her a kiss. Petunia just sat and stared at Lily and she said 'freak' very audible whisper. She was a Muggle and it didn't bother Lily what she felt or said.
The doorbell went.
'See ya later Mum, Dad'
'Enjoy yourself honey' they replied.
After James had received his Birthday presents he went back to his room to owl Sirius, Remus and Wormtail.
You wont believe it guys I got made Head Boy! I wonder why, don't worry I wont become all no this no that, I will still be James (with a little bit more authority) don't tell anyone please I don't won't anyone else knowing, yet.
Prongs
He tied it to his own owl Bowten, and watched her fly through the window. Then he took a shower and got dressed. He re-read all his cards and found his Head Boy badge, and then he went down stairs to tell the rest of his family. They were all seated around the table. His uncle was a big hairy mad with a beard and he had two teeth missing. His Aunt was small and petit and had long brown hair and deep blue eyes. None of his family showed any resemblance to him. His niece was about as tall as him but she went to a Muggle school called Clair's Court He was the only wizard in the family. 'Hi James' they all replied in unison when he sat down. 'Now what did you want to tell Pad foot that was so Sirius' said his niece laughing at her own joke. 'O, haven't I told you. Last night I got this Letter from Hogwarts... His aunt and Uncle's eyes narrowed, and they immediately looked stern. 'It wasn't anything bad' he said spotting the looks on their faces.' Anyway, you wont believe it but I got made Head Boy!' he finished with a grin. 'You got what!' shouted his Uncle. He was always very stern with James. 'Look James, just because it is your Birthday doesn't mean we fall for your tricks. 'But I did, really... 'James stop lying. I meant for you to enjoy your Birthday but it still is no time to muck about. Fine James said to himself. He had an idea it was going to be hard convincing his friends and if he went to get the badge as proof, his uncle still wont believe him. In fact he would be even madder as he'd certainly think that James nicked it. James thought it best not to say anything and he hurried his breakfast before going up stairs to get some Floo powder.
