Daddy's story

Summary: A story of the Potter before. What if after graduating Hogwarts, James decided to go on a journey of self discovery. Leaving everything behind, he then used a Time Turner to go to a time where there was no magic...but not realizing that he stumbled into the supernatural. And then...he meets a friend on the way.

Disclaimer: I do not own both Harry Potter and Supernatural. They are owned by J.K. Rowling and Eric Kripke.

A male with messy hair and glasses grinned softly as he stared at his three best friends, who were looking at him like he was mad.

"James are...are you sure you want to do this?" Remus asked as he was biting his lower lip for a moment, watching as the mischievous seventeen year nodded his head.

"Don't worry so much Moony. Besides, you still got Padfoot," He winked at the other, who was then looking embarrassed and flushed.

"I still think this is a terrible idea, Prongs," Sirius spoke up as he looked to the glass eyed boy, "What if you can't come back,"

"Psh, don't worry so much silly Padfoot, it doesn't suit you," He cooed with a teasing smile, "You could always use the other Time Turner that Moony obviously stashed away and come visit me," He then calmed down as he then sighed, "...I need this. After all what with-"

The four Marauders looked over to watch one Lily Evans smiling brightly, holding hands with an equally happy Severus Snape as they were heading out of the Hogwarts express and then walking out of the station together. It sometimes fickled Remus how they ended up together, but then again, with James trying to pretend to be cool and sauve and being a bully to the Slytherin, the werewolf couldn't blame Lily to being pushed to Snape.

"Snivellus. How dare he steal Evans from you," Sirius growled but then looked over at James sighing once more, "...We could come with you, you know. You already know that I don't have a home to go back to, and Remus too-"

James raised a hand up then smiled weakly, "I just need to be alone for a while. You have to understand that I need to...to find myself you know?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, as Remus then sighed, and nodded in understanding.

"And yet you still won't tell us where you're going," The shaggy haired male pouted, as James then gave a quirk of a smile.

"One day I'll tell you,"

"When?"

"In a few weeks time in a letter,"

"How?" Now it was the wolf's turn to ask.

"I'll figure out something. You know me, I can do most anything," James winked cockily but then turned serious, "You'll know it's me when the time comes," He smiled then was hoisting his backpack behind him and saluted to them, "Until then Marauders. Take care of yourselves,"

He was then surprised as Sirius hugged him, then Remus, and then Peter, despite not having said anything. James then hugged all of them back and then clapped their backs and kept a brave face, grinning as he then waved to them, walking out of King's Cross station with his head held high. It was high time that the King of Gryffindor grew up, and faced the real world ahead of him. No more will he be skirt chasing after Evans, or bullying the hell out of the greasy haired git of Slytherin. No more will he be hanging with his boys every summer and make plans for the next prank for the years to come.

No...James knew something else was calling to him. Something that was out of his element.

Looking at the golden trinket in his hand, he smiled as he then tapped at the dial of the sands, and vanished into thin air.

Palo Alto, California

November 12, 2001

Brown eyes scanned the bar for a moment, grinning at the customers coming in and out with the charm that always had people trusting him.

You might all be wondering WHY James Potter picked a place such as this to stay in, and what caused him to come here. It has been at least three months being here, and James was already fitting in the Muggle life. He had hidden himself in America after being sent forward in time, wanting to be away from magic for a while.

Might as well see what the fuss of being 'human' was all about from Evans and Sni-Snape.

And those two were somewhat the reason.

And being seventeen, apparently it wasn't a very adult age in the States, so he had to produce a fake I.D. to be twenty-one, and thanks to his aura of being so friendly and charismatic, no one seemed to bat an eye about his age. He wanted to feel independent, not just as a person. He had a feeling that his life was being decided for him, and he wanted to break free from that. And so here he was, working in a bar and just living the simple life. A new chapter on his life. It wasn't so bad, it was better than being under the rich Potter Manor and always having to be so...uptight and such because of his heritage. Here, no one just liked him for him. Just James.

The door swung open and James grinned as he then recognized a figure coming in.

The figure was tall, taller than him by six feet he could guess, with slight shaggy brown hair and dressed in a plaid shirt and jeans. And he had books with him. Lovely. The ever studious student, James could tell. It reminded him of Remus for some reason. But that's not what interested him the most. It was the brownish green eyes that was so bright and innocent in a way, it held no candle to Lily's eyes.

The male then spotted James then smiled a bit as he walked over to him and then laughed, "I thought I'd find you here,"

"I'm always gonna be here, mate," James' accent was still thick, even when he was just here longer, making the other flush a little and rub his head sheepishly, "Now what will it be?"

"One beer today. I don't wanna have a hangover tomorrow for my interview,"

"Ah, still going at it with the Stanford dream, eh?"

James made a friend in this young man. His name was Sam Winchester. The two have met when Sam was new around a month ago, saying he ran away from family and wanted to study nearby in the University of Standford instead of taking the family business that the other never talked about. Something about mechanics, James remembered. And since then James always welcomed Sam in, and helped him find a place nearby that was next to the flat James' was staying at. The wizard had used his money and converted it into muggle dollars and kept some safe just in case.

"Anyways, hopefully I can get in for Law,"

"Ew, bloody hell, why go for law?" If there's one thing that James didn't miss from the Wizarding world, was the damn awful politics of the Ministry of Magic.

Sam raised a brow and then frowned a little, "What's wrong with Law?"

"It's so...boring and fickled," James made a face as Sam laughed.

"That's because you're a troublemaker Jamie,"

"Hey! I told you not to call me that you bloody wanker,"

"I still don't know half the things you call me,"

"Good," James stuck his tongue out, but then was called over by a customer and hollered back that he was coming, then winked at Sam, "Anyways, the beer is coming your way mate, on the house,"

"You always give me beers on the house," Sam looked worried, "Won't your boss be mad?"

"Nah, he's alright of a bloke. Besides, you can owe me one day," He grinned devilishly as Sam groaned, and soon James sautered off with a laugh.

Stanford University

...Four years later...On a Halloween Night...

James tilted his head as he watched Sam for a moment with his fellow students of Law and some sweet thing on his lap dressed as a nurse. It was Halloween Eve and mostly the bar had been turned to the college kids, especially ones that were graduating. James was very proud of his friend, but he was sort of not liking how the blond woman was clinging over the taller male with the bat of her eyes and that sweet smile all lovey dovey. James had to wonder if he was envious of Sam having a girl and James did not. It was then that James thought of Lily again and sighed. He really should stop thinking about her.

But the good news was, that James did indeed found a way to write back to Sirius and Remus, finding some old spell and used some sort of book, thanks to finding out there was indeed a magical district in Seattle that could write down anything to another book like it. Sort of like exchanging a very old email (James learned the technology here, fascinating than magic these days) and soon he was writing to the two everyday. Mostly about his life in the bar, having to explore America and meeting the weirdest of people. He did mention Sam a couple of times, but assured them that the muggle didn't know that James was a wizard. In turn, James found out that Sirius and Remus were a thing now and that Lily and Severus were getting married (Remus had to hit Sirius' head for that stupid announcement). And James was okay with that. He said he had moved on and he was okay being single.

But for how long, he wondered.

"Hey,"

James looked up, expecting it to be Sam but blinked as he then saw it was a handsome bloke with chiseled features, short spiked hair and the most amazing green eyes that James had ever seen. It was then he realized that Sam wasn't there anymore, and neither was the blond girl he was with (James forgot the name, but he knew that she was Sam's girlfriend for almost two years). The glass eyed mane was speechless for a moment the coughed, as he then grinned charmingly in return.

"What'll be?" His American accent had gotten better a bit, but it still had the hint of good 'ol England.

"One Jack Daniels," The stranger winked as he was leaning against the counter, "And your name, if possible,"

James rolled his eyes for a moment. This one was pretty blunt, he had to admit that was brave of him, "One Jack Daniels...and as for my name, I think I'll let you wonder on that," The wizard grinned as he then was turning to get the man's drink ready.

"Aw don't be like that sweetheart," The other drawled as he then was giving a smouldering look, "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours,"

"Not interested mate," His accent slipped out for a moment as he then was shaking his head.

"Not from around the U.S. are ya?" The man noted as James turned to him and placed the drink down in front of the man.

"Still getting used to it," He hummed as he then was cleaning the glasses once more.

"Anyways," The other was taking a sip as he then looked around, "I'm actually looking for someone,"

"Oh?" James raised a brow, knowing where this is going, "And who, exactly, are you looking for?"

"Know anyone by the name of Sam Winchester?"

James paused his cleaning and eyed the man once more then hummed, "Yes, he comes here every now and then. But you just actually missed him," He spoke up with a shrug and then continued with his business.

"Ah, alright...you sure you won't at least give me a hint on your name?"

A chuckle escaped the Brit and then raised a brow, "You look more like a ladies' man than swinging the same team, mate,"

"I can appreciate a beautiful man when I see one," The man was at it again with his flirting, that James had to feel a little flattered.

"...James," He just placed out as he then smiled a bit.

"I'm Dean," The man introduced and then raised a brow with a smirk, "And, James, what time do you get off?"

James hummed for a moment then grinned, "In ten minutes, why do you ask?"

"Curious," Dean hummed a little as he finished his drink and slapped his cash down on the counter, "Ever rode a '67 Chevy Impala before?"

"I don't think I have,"

"Well then, come outside and take a look at my baby,"

"Harry?"

Emerald green eyes looked up for a moment, staring at a red head male and a bushy haired woman then smiled weakly, "Y-Yeah?"

"Mate, you've been reading that book for hours," Ron spoke up as he looked at his best friend worried, "We were trying to call you to let you know we're heading off,"

"Oh!" Harry blinked and shut the book he was holding and stood up, "Alright, um, let's get going,"

"What were you reading anyways, Harry?" Hermione asked as she was walking with her two best friends out of Number 12 Grimmauld Place together.

"Just...something I found from Sirius' possessions," Harry hummed as he then held the book tightly to him.

"What is it?" Ron tried to peer over his best mate as Harry smiled a little.

"Something from my Dad...a long time ago,"

And thus the story begins. This will take place somewhere at the beginning of Harry's fifth year, and now you get to see an AU story that's not featuring Harry for once. *gasp* that's new eh? Anyways yes, I shouldn't start another story so soon since placing up 'Moonlight Sonata' but still. Thought I'd make a SPN story with HP that's not involving Harry. Anyways, please tell me what you think of the story. I won't be continuing this unless I get reviews on what you guys think of it :D I'm sure you have a lot of questions. Thank you for reading and hope to see you in the first chapter :D
