Opposites Attract

He hated staying in one place for too long. She'd never left her hometown. He was famous. She wasn't. He was a player. She'd never even had a boyfriend. They were complete opposites but loved each other either way.

It started ten years ago. Madison Philips was out shopping. James Sirius Potter was making trouble. He ran into her and knocked her over. Madison stared after him for a minute.

"Hey!" Madison yelled. James spun and looked at her.

"What are you doing on the floor?" James asked.

"You knocked me over," Madison growled, crossing her arms. A lopsided grin appeared on James' face.

"Oh. Sorry," He said then stuck out a hand to her. She grabbed his hand and he pulled her up. "I'm James Potter," James grinned.

"Madison Philips," Madison told him.

"POTTER!"

"Bye," James said before running off. Madison scoffed and shook her head.

They didn't see each other again for almost a year. Madison decided to leave the country. She wanted to travel. She went to France. James was there. The first time she saw him, he was completely drunk. She shrugged and joined him.

"Hey!" James slurred. "I remember you. I knocked you over in the store. You're Madi!"

"It's Madison! My name is Madison, not Madi," Madison said. James took another shot.

"You need to lighten up, Madi. Hey!" James called to the barman. "Vodka shot for this little lady!" Madison was given a shot. She shrugged and drank it.

An hour later, Madison was completely smashed and dancing…on the bar. As soon as the song ended, James helped her down. "Marry me?" James asked her. She stared at him for a minute.

"What?" Madison asked.

"Marry me?" James repeated.

"Okay," Madison nodded. James pulled her to the French Ministry of Magic. That night they were married in such a way that they couldn't get a divorce.

At first they hated each other but after a while, they grew to love each other. James had realized it first. It was just after a big fight. Madison was viciously making dinner.

James had never been very good at showing his feelings. That's why they always fought. But that night as he watched his wife, he finally figured it out. He took a deep breath and let it out.

"I love you," he said. She stopped and turned to him, tear tracks on her face. That was when she figured it out.

"I love you too," she cried.

Three months later, she looked at him seriously at dinner. "James, I'm pregnant," She'd said. James' head snapped up to look at her. He looked at her for a minute then a grin spread across his face.

Their daughter, Ellie Sophia Potter was born six months later. When Ellie was five, James, Madison, and Ellie vacationed to Australia. That's where it all went wrong.

There was a bad man in Australia and he had something against the Potters. Madison, James, and Ellie unknowingly wandered right into his trap. His minion cornered them.

James and Madison fought as best as they could. There was only one left when it happened. "Evada kedavra!" he yelled. Madison dropped. James exploded in rage.

"Reducto!" he yelled. Madison's killer was killed instantly. Ellie was kneeling by Madison's side, shaking her.

"Mummy! Mummy!" she yelled. James kneeled, closed Madison's eyes then pulled Ellie into his arms. They cried for Madison together.

James took Ellie and Madison's body back to Britain two days later. James never remarried and Ellie was able to see the thestrals that pulled the carriages from her very first day of her second year at Hogwarts. When she found out why she could see them, she cried. She cried for hours.
