The Life After War

Chapter 1: James Potter Jr.
It was a quiet day in April. After the war Ginny had given birth to a young boy very much like his grandfather, called James and then 3 years later Albus was born. Today was James's eleventh birthday and he couldn't be happier. He raced down the stairs at 6:30. "Dad, mum get up!" yelled James with the biggest smile on his face. Eight year old Albus stood next to James and yawned. "James, let us sleep!" said Harry
"No! Today is when I get my letter!" said James bouncing up and down uncontrollably.
"He sure is a morning person, Gin," said Harry.
"Dad its only 6:45!"
"Go to bed!"
"C'mon PLEEEEEESEEEEEEE"
"Oh fine!" Harry and Ginny got up miserably. They went down the stairs to see an owl pecking at the window holding what looked like a letter. "Oh gosh! This early, at bloody 7:00?" said Ginny.
"YES! I'm magical!"
"Really? Cool!" said little Albus.
"I know little bro!" said James excitedly
"What does the letter say?" asked Harry. James ripped the letter open and read aloud;

"When can we go, when can we go?!" said James.
"Tomorrow." said Harry.
"Did you forget about presents, James?" asked Ginny. James paled.
"THERE'S PRESENTS?" James asked.
"Well of course!" said Harry. Harry pointed to 5 presents stacked in a neat pile.
"The red one is from me," Albus said proudly.
"Thanks Al!"
"You're Welcome!"
James tore open the red one and found a small golden snitch. "Cool! This'll help me practice! Thank you Albus!" James said. "You're welcome James," said Albus.
"Open mine in the yellow wraping paper, James. I think you'll like it a lot," said Harry. James ripped it open, finding a piece of blank parchment folded up. James unfolded it and looked at it, puzzled. "Dad what are you playing at? Its blank!" said James. Harry took out his wand and said, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." The map read;
"

THE MARAUDER'S MAP"
It had secret passageways and the people with their exact footsteps in Hogwarts. James grinned ear to ear. "Thanks dad!" said James.
"TRY not to get in to too much trouble, James," said Harry.
"I can't believe you got him that Harry!" Ginny exclaimed.
"I think it's cool," said Albus
