According to one of my anonymous reviewers (I don't know if you want me to say the name, but you know I'm talking to you!) I am a GOD! Darn, my cover is up….
You shouldn't say these things to a Slytherin, btw; we already are too much self-centered!
Thanks all of you for reviewing!
And now, the Potter family drama begins….
Things you don't know about…
JAMES POTTER
1. It wasn't easy being the eldest son. It wasn't easy being a Potter. It wasn't easy being called James. He felt like he was constantly walking in his father's shadow. And when he put the Sorting Hat on his head, he almost asked it to sort him into Hufflepuff. But that same evening, when he wore his Gryffindor robes, he suddenly felt at home. Where he belonged.
2. His middle name is Arthur.
Arthur. Not Sirius.
3. When he was seven, a kid was mocking his cousin Rose in the park. When he was done with him, that stupid brat never tried anything ever again. No one messes with his favorite cousin.
4. Ten years later, he broke Malfoy's nose. It wasn't because he had the nerve to call Rosie a Mudblood.
It was because he broke his sister's heart.
5. When his brother Al got Sorted in Slytherin he put up his best "told you so" face, and made sneering remarks with his fellows Gryffindors. But inside he was miserable: his playmate was gone. It was as if his innocence was gone. But the next morning, when Albus sat at the Gryffindor table for breakfast, he knew nothing had changed. And, at the same time, everything did.
6. Okay…breathe…just a few steps…don't make a sound…don't be a coward, open that damn desk, take it and run for your life.
When, minutes later, he looked at the old parchment in his hands, he thought about the world of possibilities in front of him for the next few years at Hogwarts.
Uncle Fred would've been so proud of him.
7. He thought his mother had the best scent in the world.
Then, one day, while he was running to Herbology, he smelled the most beautiful, most seductive scent ever. He stopped, turned around, and Flora Longbottom was there.
8. He was the temperamental one. His mother often told him he was the spitting image of his Uncle Ron. He'd fought with both his parents many times. But he could never have guessed that Disarming his father that night meant he was now the rightful Master of the Elder Wand.
9. He kneeled in front of the grave. The grass has been recently disturbed: Lily, what did you do?
10. He didn't think about glory or power, when he ran through Hogwarts's underground chambers. He didn't think about the great, wonderful things he could do with the weapon.
When he took the wand from Albus Dumbledore's dead hands his only thought was saving Lily.
Okay, stop yelling at me! I know that James's middle name is actually Sirius, but what the hell! Again, I wrote this before that infamous family tree, and I still don't like Sirius as the middle name, and I'll tell you why: Ginny. Ginny didn't get to name not even one of her children. I was furious with JKR, and with Harry too, for good measure. Ginevra probably got to choose Luna as Lily's middle name (which I find atrocious, btw, too many Ls), but I was frustrated and extremely disappointed for the lack of "Weasley" into the Potter family. And, let me tell you, for me James Arthur still sounds better than James Sirius.
The debate is open!
As long as names are concerned, I really like the name I came up with for Neville's first born: Flora Longbottom got my immediate fondness from the moment I put her name on paper. I don't know why. I need to write a oneshot or a brief story with her as the leading lady. What do you think? Do you have any suggestion?
Number 4 is obviously the B-side of Rose's number 6.
Oh, and yeah, Lily, Lily, Lily…Questions? Comments?
Two to go!
Next is ASP!
