Chapter 4 - James Evans

Miles away from London...

in Blackpool, England,a man called James Evanswas sat in his bedroom reading Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens.
It was supposed to be a timeless classic butJames thought that it was quite boring at the beginning but once you got into it, it was ok really.
Jamesthought that he had heard an owl hooting but told himself that he was imagining it.

Jamescarried on reading and he heard the hooting noise again.

Jameslooked at his open window and saw Hedwig sitting on the windowsill.
James jumped off his bed and walked over to the window and said "How did you find me" and he suddenly remembered that this owl could find almost anyone without an address.

Whilst he was thinking about thisJames heard the front door slam which meant that his flatmate Brittany had come home from wherever she had been all night.
Jamesquickly snapped back to his senses and quickly took the letter from Hedwig and shooed her away from the window before his flatmate could see her.
Jameslooked at the letter and went to put it in his chest of drawers but instead of putting the letter in a drawer which was full of things from the wizarding world such as parchment, quills, ink pots, spell books, books about the wizarding world and his photo album that Hagrid had given him shortly after saving the Philosopher's Stone at the end of his first year at Hogwarts, he looked at the writing on the roll of parchment and thought that unless Ron's and Hermione's writing had changed considerably since he last had letters from them, it wasn't from either of them.

Jamessuddenly found the letter very intriguing and was opening it when his flatmate Brittany knocked his door and entered his bedroom.
On hearing the click of the doorJames looked up and smiled.
"Have you watched the news and read the newspapers lately James" Brittany asked.
"No, why do you ask"James replied.
"Coz apparantly there's an escaped prisoner from a prison somewhere up north or something."
"Really what are they called Britts"James asked.
"Oh something really difficult to say and I can't say it."
"Please just try to say it"James prompted.
"Oh it's Bella... Bella..." Brittany struggled to say.
"Yes"James said eagerly while looking at the pretty, blonde haired girl.

"It's something like Bellatrix Lesomething or rather" said Brittany.
Brittany then looked at the letter thathe was clutching.

"What's that James" she asked.
"Oh it's, um nothing."
"it has to be something because you are holding onto it for dear life. Just tell me. Anyway I know where it is from."
"Oh where then Brittany Stokes"
"London, where you come from" Brittany replied while glaring atJames for using her full name.
"Actually, I don't come from London, I come from Surrey. I just know people who live there."
"Well from those people then and anyway I know about your drawer and you being a..."
Brittany stopped talking and looked atJames not sure whether to continue or not.
James gave her a look as if to say "carry on".
Brittany continued "I. I know that you are a."
Brittany took a deep breath and swallowed then continued "a wizard."
Jameslooked at Brittany and turned very white then stammered "N. N. No I'm not. There are no such things as wizards."
"Ok, I'll leave you alone then" Brittany said as she walked towards the door.

As she reached the door Brittany looked at the door then asked "do you miss Quidditch James"
"Oh yeah, I mean it is the best game in the world. I was Seeker for my house team at school and everytime I flew I felt so alive and all of my troubles seem to disappear"James hesitated then continued.
"How did you find out"
"I found the drawer full of stuff and I read the book."
"What book? There's loads of them in the drawer."
"The Quidditch one"
"Oh Quidditch through the ages"James asked.
"Yeah that one, I read a couple of pages or it and found it really interesting. So who's the letter from"
"Oh I don't know, I was opening it when you came in. I don't even know whose handwriting it is. And anyway who from the wizarding world would write to me coz I'm not exactly flavour of the month there at the moment."
"Why" Brittany asked.
"Oh it's a long story. You don't want to know Britt."
"Try me"
"Ok then. In my 7th and final year at school..."
"You have to stay in school for 7 YEARS" Brittany interupted.
"Britt, are you listening or not"
"Yeah sure, sorry James"
"Anyway in my 7th year I duelled with this other wizard and kinda saved the wizarding world from dark magic and when I got back to school I was talking to one of my best friends - Hermione and I don't know why but one minute we were talking and the next we were snogging each other in our house common room. When we finished snogging we went back to our own common room coz we were head boy and head girl and our other friends - Ron and Ginny were in our common room getting drunk so we sat on the couch and kinda finished off what we started and it kinda progressed to my bedroom."
"You mean, you slept with one of your best friends" Brittany asked.
"Yeah, but that's not why noones talking to me"
"So why aren't they talking to you then"
"I'm getting to it. So it progressed to my bedroom and I remember thinking "What am I doing. I don't even fancy her". I know it was wrong but it felt so good. And she didn't even fancy me herself coz she openly fancied Ron - our other best friend and I fancied Ron's little sister Gin... What"

"You fancied your best friends little sister" Brittany asked in disbelief.
"Yeah but I never told her, him or anyone and me and Hermione only slept together because she had a big argument with Ron and I was kinda upset coz I thought that Ginny didn't fancy me anymore coz Ron told me that she was seen snogging her ex, Dean Thomas by the lake and I was gonna ask her out that night in the astronomy tower."
"So it was a rebound thing"
"Yeah and the next morning I woke up really early and saw the paper which had said that a major criminal was caught so I legged it quietly coz Ron and Ginny were asleep in our common room. I left a letter saying that I would tell them by owl post where I was. But I never did. I just sent my owl back to them so I guess they got pretty mad at me. Then the next thing I know, I get this letter."
"Open it and see what it is then" Brittany said.
Jamesopened the letter and read it out loud.
After reading it Harry concentrated on the words 'All my love' and wondered whether she meant it.

"James?"

"Yeah."

"Who's it from?" Brittany asked as he had stopped reading after the 'All my love' part.

"Oh. It's from Ginny. Look I have to go to London Britt."

"Why?"

"Coz this Bellatrix Lestrange is the person who murdered my godfather and I have to get my revenge on her. Also I have to talk to Ginny, Ron and Hermione"James said as he packed his trunk with the things that he would need in the Wizarding world.

"So, is James Evans your real name?"

"No. My real name is Harry Potter. I made James Evans up. James after my father and Evans was my mothers maiden name."

"So you're the famous guy that every one of those books go on about. Are you gonna come back?"

"Yes and I don't know – I'll send a letter."

Brittany looked sceptical and said "promise?"

"Promise"James said with a grin.

He finished packing then walked over to Brittany.

"It's been nice knowing you Britt. See ya around."

"Yeah, bye….." She hesitated then said "Harry."

Harry gave her a hug then walked back to his trunk, held onto it and disapparated to Grimmauld Place.
