A/N: Ok, I don't have much to say about this chapter so I'll just thank everyone who reviewed and ask you to enjoy.
Lily had moved out of the family home when she finished Hogwarts and Albus had left when he had gotten married. It was James' turn; he couldn't help but think that the Potter children had gone backwards.
But that didn't change the fact that James was now twenty-four and Amber was five. It was time, James knew, to get their own home, as their own little family. He wouldn't have been able to do it before now because of his lack of knowledge about taking care of children, he had needed his parents help with that. But now he had raised Amber for five years, he knew her personality and what she needed to make her happy and healthy. He didn't need Harry and Ginny's help as much.
It took him some time to find the perfect house. One that both he and his parents were happy with because Ginny didn't want them being too far away just in case he or Amber needed her for something.
Now it was time to sell Amber on this idea. This proved more difficult then James had anticipated.
"Amber," James came to her one day while she was playing in the backyard. She had dirt on her face and Ginny had pulled her messy black hair into plaited pigtails, which the Potter hair rebelled against and stuck out despite the tight braids.
"I have an adventure for us." James had thought long and hard about the best way to bring moving out up to her and this seemed like the only way.
Amber was immediately excited at the prospect of an adventure. "What is it daddy?" she asked eagerly.
James bent down to her eye level. "Do you remember when Aunt Lily moved out and went to live in her flat and when Uncle Al moved out and went to live with Aunt Flora?"
Amber nodded. "Yeah I remember. Are they apart of the adventure too?"
"No," James chuckled, "But I was thinking that we could get a place of our own like they did."
"'Kay."
James was a little thrown by her easy acceptance and decided that maybe she didn't understand. "That would mean that we wouldn't be living with Gran and Grandpa anymore." he elaborated.
This brought her down. "Oh," she mumbled, looking at her feet. "I don't think I like that."
"I know that it's a big change but you might like it," he suggested.
Amber didn't respond and continued to stare dejectedly at her dirty and play worn tennis shoes.
James thought for a moment. "How about I show you the house that we would live in and then you can decide."
"'Kay," Amber said reluctantly.
Taking her small hand in his James walked Amber to the front yard and down the sidewalk.
"Why can't we live with Gran and Grandpa anymore," Amber asked gloomily as they walked.
"Because we can't live with them forever."
"Don't they want us?"
"Of course they do," James tried his best to explain it to her, "but we've lived with them for a long time now and it's time we get a place of our own."
"But I won't get to play with them and Gran and Grandpa won't be able to say good night to me, we won't be seeing them in the morning when we wake up and I won't get to eat Gran's pancakes on the weekends anymore. I won't get to sleep in Aunt Lily's old room and Gran won't be able to fix my hair." Amber pouted.
James stopped when they had walked a ways and bent down to her level. "Amber, we need to have our own place, and Gran and Grandpa need to have their own place. Most kids and their parents don't live with their grandparents. Romulus, Lita, and Leslie don't live with Bill and Fleur do they?" James used the only example that he knew Amber would accept as she loved Rom like a brother and looked up to the Lupin twins. It was a tactic that Harry use to use with James when he was young; if Harry said that Teddy did something then James would do exactly what Teddy did.
"Besides," he continued as she thought this over. "You'll still see Gran and Grandpa everyday; we only live two houses away from them." James turned her head to their new home; the one they stood in front of at this moment. It was a little much for just the two of them, being two stories high. Amber looked behind her to her Grandparents house which had been her home for so long and then looked back at her new one.
"Oh," she said as she look back and forth, gaging the distance. "Kay, I'll try this adventure."
