A/N: Hello! Call me Stagger. Don't ask about the name. I'll make this as
short as I can. I don't like long author notes. If one is to long I want to
hurt my computer. People want to read the stories not A/N s! This is of the
good ol' days with the M.W.P.P. and my own person of course. I own mine own
people and everything else can belong to J.K. Rowling so she can have lots
of fun trouble. ^_^ Oh! I own the name too. (story and stagger
soooooo...mine! no touch!)
CHAPTER ONE - part one - A Lovely Day
"Ahhhh! What a lovely day!" An almost teenage girl with dark brown eyes and the same coloured hair but with blonde highlights said as she opened the window. Fierce warm wind blew in as she stood in front of her window. Clearly it was summer. "Humph.looks like rain." She said flatly. "But it'll be a good day." She then crossed over to her walk-in closet and chose some clothes to wear. With the hint of rain in the wind she chose some light weighted gray sweatpants and a very big, very loose T-shirt that happened to be a black starry night sky complete with a moon. She pulled some her almost waist length hair back into a ponytail. She went over to her mirror and studied her odd hair cut. Her bangs went into her eyes and some of her hair by her ears only went down to her shoulders. Very odd since most of her hair was three times that length. The short hair by her ears drew attention to her ears, which could or couldn't be a good thing. Her right ear had three pricings in it. In the closet one to her head she put a single silver hoop earring. In the next she put a star earring that had a moon hanging from it. She put a single star earring in the last one. In her other ear it wasn't much different. She had three pricings in this one as well but one was on top as the others were on the bottom. In the top she placed the other single star earring. In the one closest to her head she put the other hoop earring and next to that she placed the other star earring. Believe it or not, this girl didn't wear any make-up and didn't fuss about how she looked. She was a complete tomboy. Finally happy with her earrings (the only thing she was 'girlie' about, well not really but still.) she grabbed her dragon necklace and went down stairs for breakfast.
Already there was her father reading the morning paper. He was a tall man with blonde-brown hair, had deep brown eyes and was well-built in a gray suit. "Morning Papa," the girl said as she kissed her father on the cheek. "Morning dear." He said smiling at her. "Morning Mama." The girl said as she kissed her mother on the cheek as well. "Morning honey," She replied smiling and going back to cooking breakfast. Her mother on the other hand had more red than brown hair, hazel eyes, and was just a bit shorter. Today she was wearing a blue blouse with black pants to go. "it'll be ready soon. Could you go wake your sister, please dear?" She added. "All right." She sighed.
She walked up the stairs to her sister's room and rapped on the door. "Wake up sleepin' beauty!!" She called as she opened the door. A lump in bed moaned. "Up an at 'ems!" She said jumping on the bed. "..jamess." Her sister moaned. "Yes sweet lovable older sister Kris?" James said blinking her eyelashes. "..i'm.going to kill you!!" She screamed as she jumped her sister. "Oh my! We are a bear when we don't have food aren't we?" Kris glared. It was awhile before there 'sisterly bonding' was done. But eventually they were down stairs eating breakfast. Before their parents left for work a large brown owl flew in and landed on the table. It was gone as quickly as it had come but left two letters written in green ink. "The Hogwarts letters!" Kris said in an almost surprised voice. "We'll reply tonight and go shopping later this month." Their mother said before kissing them each and leaving for work. "Don't get in trouble!" Their father warned, as he too left, but not before kissing his daughters each. The two girls looked at each other and, only after he left, smiled.
At the end of the day did they only first look at their letters with their parents. They had indeed had had a good day. They went to the muggle pool and to the local mall with their muggle friends. They had come from a magic family. The only one who was of muggle disengage was their grandfather on their mother's side. They lived in a wizarding town but took a bus to visit their other friends from time to time. In fact, they had only just gotten home and changed when their parents had walked through the door. Shortly after they had dinner they sent an owl to Hogwarts saying that the girls would attend.
Part two - James and James
It was almost time for school to start. In exactly 1 week James and Kris would be broading the Hogwart's Express. The family happened to be in Diagon Alley that day getting school supplies. James happened to be wearing the same thing she was wearing when she first read her Hogwarts letter. This time her hair was up in an old gray muggle cabby hat she was wearing backwards. Most people didn't pay any attention but those that did had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't a boy they were seeing. They were finished with their shopping and heading home when James saw the Quidditch shop. She moved towards the window were the newly laid broomstick was, not noticing that her family had moved on without her. "Look at that!" She said under her breath. The new broomstick was a 'Nimbus 750.' This by far looked the best out of all the ones she'd seen in magazines. She looked at it longly as her eyes sparkled. And suddenly she was pulled from her daydreaming by her sister's voice - "James! Oh come on! Not the broomsticks again!" Kris said pulling her sister's hand. "But the pretty pretty broomsticks." She said as she let herself be dragged away. Meanwhile as this happened the two girls didn't know that a very curious boy with very untidy black hair and dark eyes watch with interest. "Hey James!" The boy turned around and saw a boy the same age as him with the same hair except it was a bit more tame and gray eyes, his best friend, coming towards him. "Hiya Sirius!" James smiled. "What's with you? Looking at the brooms again?" Sirius asked smiling. "Oh yeah. You won't believe it! I just saw a kid with the same name as me!"
"Really? Is he going to Hogwarts?" Sirius asked excitedly. "Don't know. But he looked our age!" James replied. "He's into brooms and everything too! His sister even had to pull him away from the window!" "No way!" They both laughed then headed home, thinking of this new 'James' that James had seen.
End of this chapter
A/N: Well? I hope you liked it. The others should be good too so I'd stick around. Sorry about the very long first paragraph. I felt it was important to tell about her earrings and clothes since you can tell what she's like by what she picks to wear. She's into moons and stars (obviously) and really likes earrings for an eleven year old. Part two was shorter but part one was a bit longer. The reason I did parts was because I wanted it to show the time periods. I know, I could have done this -
Almost a month later we find the family in Diagon Alley blah blah blah ~~~ and so on and so forth.
but I didn't so deal with it. And I know what you guys are thinking. No her name isn't really James. You'll find out later, most likely in the next chapter. Fyi- Her sister is a year older and is Kristin. James just likes calling her her nickname and visa versa. Bye for now!
