Preface
"Mommy, what was Uncle James like?"
Nicole, or Nicky Potter was sitting at her kitchen table with her ten year old son Jimmy. Jimmy had his mother's black hair, and his uncle's mischievous smile. Jimmy was a lot like his Uncle James and loved hearing his mother talk of her brother, even if it was only a little bit or a quick story.
"I've told you a million times, Jimmy he was just like you!" Nicole exclaimed. She was trying to clean up the breakfast dishes. Her husband had gone to work, leaving her and Jimmy alone.
"Mommy, tell me the whole story! I wanna know!" Jimmy complained.
"I don't know hunny, why don't you go upstairs and play, or do something constructive for a while," she suggested. This way she could clean up a bit, and have time to think of what to tell him.
She pulled her long curly hair into a bun with a tap of her wand, and continued to clean. She had a pretty good life here. She had married her Hogwarts sweetheart, Evan, and they were married a year after Hogwarts.
Her parents had died in her seventh year, and her and her brother James stuck together through that time. If only James and his wife hadn't died a year after THEY had gotten out of Hogwarts. Nicole and Evan had been married a year, and were expecting Jimmy when they had died.
They were the cutest couple and the nicest people you could ever meet. They had hated each other for the longest time; it was surprising that they got together. But some people saw it coming, like Nicole's best friend Danielle. She was really good at telling whether relationships would last and things like that.
So Nicole and Evan had one child, and were expecting another one, and were really happy with their lives. Nicole only wished her brother and sister-in-law were here to share in this. See they themselves had had a child before they died, but Nicole had only seen him once. He looked just like his father, it was so cute.
But young Harry was sent to live with his aunt on his mom's side, and was told he would be better off there. Nicole though differently, and made arrangements to check up on him in a way he would never know.
Harry would be about Jimmy's age, and Jimmy couldn't wait to meet him. He had no idea that that wasn't possible.
"Mommy, now?" Jimmy asked running down the stairs.
Nicole thought about it, and decided it would be best if she told him the whole story, since he would be going to Hogwarts extremely soon.
"Okay. Where should I start?" Nicole asked.
"Um, what about how he met Remus and Sirius?" Jimmy replied.
"Okay, I'll shorten that though," Nicole replied.
Mr. and Mrs. Potter were very high in society and constantly held huge parties with all of the other "important" people.
Nicky and James, their kids, were always forced to go to these parties, and rarely had fun. But at this one particular party, they were going to have more fun than they planed.
Nicky was off talking to Danielle, her best friend, while James was sitting under a table in the ballroom. He was extremely surprised when another boy climbed under the table.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't think people usually hid under here," the boy replied while he began backing out.
"It's ok, stay. I could use some company," James replied with a smile.
They sat and talked for a while, and even managed to make a peep hole in the table cloth.
"Hey it looks like that boy is lonely, let's invite him under," James suggested. His new friend, Sirius, looked skeptical, but agreed.
"Psst!" James said.
The boy looked around.
"Down here!" Sirius whispered. The boy looked like he was losing his mind.
"We're under the table you idiot!" Sirius said.
It looked like something clicked in his head, because he climbed under with them, and the three of them sat under there for the rest of the party.
"I wonder where James wondered off to," Nicky thought out loud.
"Who knows," Danielle replied pushing her long reddish hair behind her ears.
