Chapter 2:

James Potter was addicted to Quidditch while he was at Hogwarts. He was the first person since his father to make his house team as a first year. He became Captain by his third year. The youngest captain in the history of Gryffindor. He ruled his team with an iron fist, and anyone who didn't take the sport seriously was kicked off the team. As captain he won 4 out of 5 Quidditch Cups. He took every loss personally and was often spotted studying his playbook when others were studying for OWLs or NEWTs. In his seventh year people took bets on which professional team James would go to. James found himself being bombarded with offers and "gifts" from various teams. At the end of his seventh year teams waited to hear from him. The media stalked outside of the Potter residence trying to get a clue. The fact that reports were risking the ire of the famous Harry Potter by camping out on his front lawn was a feat in itself. But months went by and the Quidditch world had to move on.

James Potter didn't make the papers again until the end of summer where his wedding was announced. No one in the wizarding world had ever heard of his new bride. Jaws dropped when it came to light that the new Mrs. Potter was a muggle supermodel and was most known for wearing expensive underwear and wings down a walkway. What wasn't reported was that James wasn't hiding. He never had any intentions of playing Quidditch professionally. It was all just a part of his research for making Blitzball a reality. It all started back when he was ten:

James woke up late, but that wasn't a surprise to anyone. Rubbing sleep out of his eyes James went downstairs and headed for the kitchen. He noticed something was odd, but his hunger was too great for him to really pay attention.

He sat down and his mum put a plate in front of him. James had taken his first bite of bacon when he realized the dishes in the sink weren't washing themselves. The wireless wasn't on. Pictures were frozen in their frames.

"Oh no."

"James" his mum chided.

"The Dursleys are visiting?" James complained.

"Yes, James. They're family" Harry said.

"They're so boring" Lily commented.

"And we're not allowed to do magic when they're here" James added.

"You don't even have a wand yet" Ginny pointed out. "No magic in the house til you're seventeen."

"I don't see why we have to meet up here, though. At least at their house there's a telly and games" Al added.

"They're bringing over a gaming system. An X-Station or something" Harry replied.

This only caused James to frown. If his cousins were coming to spend a couple of hours, why would they bring their own gaming system, unless...No way.

"How long are they staying for?"

Harry winced. He knew one of his kids would catch on. "Two weeks while Dudley and Amanda go on a second honeymoon."

"Two Weeks!" the kids exclaimed.

"We can't go without magic for two whole weeks."

"You can't be serious."

"Where are they going to sleep? I'm not sharing my room."

"Calm down" Ginny said and everyone quieted. "Hailey is staying in your room Lily. Devon is sharing with Al."

"Why me? Why not James?" Al asked.

"Because I don't trust James not to prank Devon in his sleep or try to feed him Wheezes. Hurry up and finish breakfast and take a shower. Your father is going to charm some extra beds for your cousins and I want your rooms to be clean. That goes for you too James. The Dursleys will be here at noon."

They all grumbled and complained but followed their mum's orders. No one wants to see Ginny Potter upset. Most Weasleys would rather face an angry veela than face an angry Ginny!

Harry came home from work to hear arguing coming from his den. They were only three days into the Dursleys' stay and Harry was tired of the fighting already. Lily did not like sharing her room. Hailey is a year younger than Lily and not as organized. Hailey left all of her Barbie dolls all over the place. Lily tripped over one and thought it would be a good idea to cut off all of the doll's hair in revenge. It appears that it was Hailey's favorite which caused her to cry and scream until Harry promised to buy her a new one. Harry also made Lily apologize, so now she wasn't talking to him.

Al didn't like sharing his room either but he took a different approach. He taped off half of his room and told Devon not to cross the line or touch anything that wasn't his. Devon found Al's Henry the Muggle action figure and went to pick it up. When he touched the toy it burned his hand. Harry had to come up with the excuse that the toy had been too close to the heater as he bandaged Devon's hand.

As Harry entered the den he saw that the fight was between James and Devon.

"You cheated!" Devon accused. .

"I didn't cheat you just suck!" James fired back.

"It's my game, I don't suck. You cheated" Devon yelled.

"I'm a Potter. We don't cheat, we're just good at everything we do."

Harry rolled his eyes.

"Enough you two."

"Dad you're home" James said.

"Mr. Potter, can we go to the game store and pick up new games. I left most of mine at home and this one sucks."

"Yeah dad, let's buy a new game I can beat Devon in" James added.

"Racing games are stupid. I bet you can't beat me in a boxing game."

Harry winced, he didn't want his kids playing violent games. That's why he asked Dudley to make sure Devon didn't bring any violent games with him.

"I bet I can beat you in any game there is" James replied.

"Twenty notes!"

"Deal"

The boys shook on it.

"No betting" Harry said. "I'll take you to the video game store, but I'm only getting one game and no fighting."

Harry dragged Al along hoping he'd be some sort of peacekeeper between the two. So far Al showed very little interest in video games and the telly in general. He preferred listening to music and reading in his room.

"That game is for teens, pick something else…. Is that price for real? Absolutely not…. Put that back…. No, Al you can't go to the store next door...This looks okay. Do I have to buy the guitar? A drum and mic as well? Nope. Pick something else…."

Who knew it'd be so hard to pick out a video game?

"Those are RPGs, RPGs are for sissies" Devon said when James picked up a game.

James didn't know what the game was he just liked the cover. He had no idea what an RPG even was.

"They are not!" a feminine voice spoke up. "RPGs are the best. Only muscle headed wankers play shooter games."

James noted that Devon was holding up a game where there was a man on the cover holding a long gun.

"Says the little girl." Devon fired back.

"Ignore him" the girl said flipping strands of her curly strawberry blonde hair. Follow me. I'll show you all the best games to play. What's your system?"

"Um, Xstation?" James guessed. He assumed he got it wrong at the girls frown. "I don't have one yet. I was thinking of buying one" he lied.

"Oh, okay. So it's between Xbox One and Playstation 4. I would recommend the PS4 because you can download their legacy games. PS2 had the best games. There's always the WiiU but that's more for families."

James followed the girl around the store and listened as she talked about different games. So far RPG, which he found out stood for Role Playing Games, sounded like the best. It was awesome how muggles saw fantasy and magic.

"James, I said I was only buying one game, not a whole system" Harry said.

"I'm buying it with my pocket money" James replied. He didn't have muggle money on him but he knew his dad did and he figured he'd pay him back when they got home.

Harry frowned, but he wasn't going to stop James from spending his own money.

"My name is Blossom. Here is my gamertag" the girl scribbled something on James' reciept. "Friend me when you get your system setup and we can chat."

James looked at what she wrote: FierceFlowerXIV.

That's how it all began. The game James took home with him was Final Fantasy XII and he became obsessed. He couldn't wait for the next game in the series to come out so he brought the retro games. He had his parents hook up the internet so he could play online and chat with Blossom. The internet got a bit woky when people used magic in the house, but it was awesome. When James found out Blossom lived in the next town over he started to visit her house.

As years went by they were only able to hang out during the summer. He went to Hogwarts and she went to a boarding school in France. It only took two years for James to slip up and use magic in front of her. She wasn't repulsed, in fact she thought it was cool. He made her promise not to tell. He didn't want to get in trouble with the ministry.

At fifteen Blossom got discovered and became an international model. James meanwhile was starting to make plans on how to make his favorite games a reality.

That's why after school James didn't play Quidditch. Instead he used his inheritance to get into investing. He dipped his fingers into multiple projects both muggle and wizarding. That's when he created Potter Enterprises. It changed to Potter Corp. when he got corporated.

When James' and Blossom's wedding made muggle news, paparazzi tried to get information about him. They had about as much luck as the wizarding ones. They did manage to dig up his net worth (well for the muggle side of things) and started calling him the real life Christian Grey, whatever that meant.

"I told you your family would be on board" Blossom said later that evening after mostly everyone went home. Albus was still sleep in a guest bedroom.

James wrapped his arms around her. "And what do I owe you for being right?"

"A full body massage in the bath with bubbles, champagne and the works. I'm tired. Today has been a long day."
