Disclaimer: 'Tis not mine. Except for the plot. Sorry that this chapter is so short
My entire family has always been in Slytherin. I myself am in Slytherin. I don't want to be here though. I respect muggleborns, and the intensity in which they bring knowledge to the Wizarding World. Pureblooded maniacs are useless to me.
And yet, I go along, pretending to be one myself. Perhaps that's why I'm in Slytherin. I've always wondered, why not Gryffindor? I always have had a streak of rebellion and bravery. Scars lace my back, from times when I should have listened to my father, but didn't, and had to pay the price. I know better now.
My spirit has been crushed so many times, I'm surprised that I get any recognition at all. But I do. I get tons of it. Most of it is unwanted. There are a few select people whose attention I long for, and a very little amount of those few actually give me the time of day. Of course, I am just a dirty, slimy, Slytherin, like the rest of my brethren.
Except for 3. My three best friends in the entire world. Together, the three of us can let our true natures show. Let our feelings escape. Help each other with our feelings. We come from all different houses. One in Hufflepuff, one in Ravenclaw, one in Gryffindor, and I in Slytherin.
The bond between us is unbreakable. Really, with all of the things that we are willing to do for each other, we should all have been sorted into Gryffindor, but only one remains in that house of glory.
We will stick together. Through thick and through thin, through school and through home, through girls and through family. Diseases, Dark Lords, whatever. We'll handle it together.
I just wanted to make all of that clear.
Right now, we are handling the biggest task we have ever had to face. Me, a pureblooded Slytherin, for Merlin's sake, Is interested in a muggleborn Gryffindor. One who has had to deal with the taunting and torture of the rest of my house for the past 6 years. But this year, our last year, I'm going to make it better.
I fell in love with her, and I want to protect her. I may be hunted and killed by my family and the Lord that I am to serve, but I don't care. I am a Slytherin by name, but a Gryffindor by heart.
My name is James Potter, and I fell in love with Lily Marie Evans.
Hello everyone!
This is a much darker story than My Life From A Bird's Eye View. I'm not going to stop writing that, but I came up with this idea and had to write it down. I'm not sure how long it's going to be, because I haven't planned out much of the story yet. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
