James
Chapter 2
I knew I'd get a letter. Everybody in my family got one. Mine just came late. We're going shopping for my first wand and everything. This is going to be a great year. I'm so excited. I'm going to explore the first chance I get. Get away from the family and look around. This will be great. Today is going to be a good day.
James Potter is a boy who came from a long line of wizards and witches. He has jet black hair and dark blue eyes. He has two other brothers and they already went through the seven years of school. He always has lived in the shadow of his big brothers. He was a smart boy but he didn't really want to work.
James has always been a trouble maker. His parents tried to get him to be good and act like his big brothers but that didn't work. James was just curious and couldn't help it.
"Hey mum. Can we use the floo powder, please." James asked as they were about to leave.
"Of course we can. That's the only way you're going to get there without using magic." James' mom said. She was very nice. James looked like his mother. She had jet black hair and blue eyes just like him but his brothers and father were different. His father had brown hair and brown eyes. He was a stern man who believed in principles. While James' mom was a free woman. She didn't like to be told what to do and when to do it.
"Well, let's go. We don't want to get there and everything be closed."
"Alright, mom. Dad not going?"
"What do you think. You know how busy he is."
"Yeah. Busy ignoring me."
"He loves you. You're just not like your brothers. You're special and I love you just the way you are."
"Thanks, mum."
They used the floo powder and found them selves in the Leaky Cauldron. Professor Dumbledore was sitting next to the fire.
"Hello, Mrs. Potter. Hello, Mr. Potter. How are you today."
"I'm especially well today, Dumbledore," replied Mrs. Potter.
"Where is Jack?"
"He doesn't like me because I'm not like him," James said in a monotone voice.
"James don't say that."
"Well, well, Mr. Potter. I always agree with speaking your mind but when you get to school, if you could, try and hold your tongue."
"I'm so sorry Dumbledore."
"There is no reason to be sorry. I know how Jack can be. He only thinks about himself. I warned him about that when he was in my office." Dumbledore turned to James and said to him,"He was in my office quite a few times. Let's hope I never have to see you like your brothers."
"I'll try, Professor."
"Who are you waiting for, Dumbledore?" James' mom asked.
"I'm waiting for a muggle born child. She is very smart and powerful."
"She sounds like a very good student."
James walked away. He didn't want to listen to this conversation. He walked over to the bartender and asked for a pumpkin juice. He saw a man that he knew him and his father didn't get along with. So James figured he would like him. James' mom walked over to him when she was done talking to Dumbledore.
"We should go right now."
"Why?"
"Because the guy your father doesn't like is here and I'm not a big fan of him either."
Right when they were about to go up to the entrance to Diagon Ally, a man called his mother's name. It was Magnus Malfoy. James' dad and him didn't really get along. James had always wondered why.
"Helen." he said in a very smooth, mysterious voice.
James mother made a face before turning around. "Magnus."
"How have you been?"
"Great. Listen, we have to go shop so if you don't mind..."
"Please, my dear. You know you could have been mine instead of that high strung Potter fellow."
"I married him because he wasn't a stuck up, stuborn, person who doesn't know how to be sensitive. Now, if you'll excuse me, my son and I have to go shopping." When she turned to walk away, Magnus grabbed her arm.
"I didn't excuse you." When Magnus touched James' mother, his blood started pumping hard.
"Let her go," he said threw gritted teeth.
"Well. Who might you be?"
"James Potter."
"Well, I have a little boy about your age, Lucious. Get over here. A little boy with blonde hair and blue eyes came over to them."This is my son."
"Seems you got over my mum very easily."
"Your mom will always have my heart. I just had to pass down the Malfoy genes."
"You're still holding my mother's arm."
"What are you going to do, Potter?" said Lucious in a sneer of a voice.
"I'll go over and get Professor Dumbledore to fix this mess. He right over there." Magnus and Lucious looked over and found Dumbledore talking to a little girl with brunette hair and green eyes.
"Fine. We know when we've lost a battle."
"But you haven't won the war." said Lucious.
Whenever they left, James' mother turned to him and smiled a soft smile.
"Well. It looks like you just made your first enemy." Then they both started laughing. "Let's go get your supplies."
