Because I was sitting in class when I saw the tweet for the first time the other day, and I still almost cried.
James had spent so many years looking forward to attending Hogwarts, and now it was finally here. Now he could eat in the Great Hall, try out for the Quidditch Team, show off his new Gryffindor colors proudly, and learn how to be a better wizard. James was right where he'd always wanted to be.
But James had spent so many years looking forward to all this that, in all the hype, he almost forgot about everything he was leaving at home until the first, quiet night in his dormitory when his parents didn't come in to kiss him goodnight.
Another update already? Whattt? I was just super inspired by September 1st and all of the magical things it brought this year. And super conflicted about hearing more about the nextgen characters because I already have such strong headcanons about them, and how do I reconcile those with Jo's thoughts? Anyway, this would have been up earlier, but FF wouldn't let me log in until today. Thanks for reading xo
