James ✖ (Verses)

VERSES:

O N L Y C H I L D

James Potter is an only child. He tends to be given anything he wants. He’s friends with other purebloods, but also halfbloods. He doesn’t quite understand the big deal, about blood status. He’s also reckless and has broken way more bones, than most children. His parents are older, and don’t watch him close enough.

E V E R Y B O D Y L O V E S M E

From the moment James Potter entered Hogwarts, he was popular. He and Sirius Black both were. They became friends quickly with Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, and the boys ruled the school. James was cocky, and was known to pick on some people, especially Severus Snape, but a lot of it was immaturity. Getting girls was easy for him, well except for one.

H E A D B O Y

At the beginning of his seventh year, James Potter of all people, became Head Boy. He had matured a bit, was a lot more serious and was noticing that the world was becoming worse. He still got in quite a bit of trouble, but he also took being Head Boy serious. That didn’t mean that he didn’t use it to his advantage, though.

T H E O R D E R

Before leaving Hogwarts, James was recruited by Dumbledore, to take part in the Order of the Phoenix, a group that would fight against Voldemort and his followers to hopefully put a stop to the Wizarding War. It was something that was dangerous, but if anyone could handle it, he could.

S A F E A N D S O U N D

James and Lily are hidden away, while she was pregnant, because their son may be part of the prophecy, and what Voldemort is after. Only the secret keeper knows where to find them, which will be their undoing.

Verse to be expanded on, where James doesn’t die.

BIOGRAPHY:

James Potter was born On March 27, 1960, to Fleamont and Euphemia Potter. Although they were older parents, they both still actively worked as aurors for the Ministry of Magic. Due to the fact that they spent the first few years busy with work, James was mostly raised by their house elf. They didn’t ignore their son though. They loved him as much as two parents could, showering him with all sorts of gifts and a lavish lifestyle, being that they were wealthy. When James turned 11, he didn’t wonder if his acceptance letter to Hogwarts would come. He knew that it would. He also was confident that he would be sorted into Gryffindor. His parents were both Gryffindor and James had every quality that is frequently found in Gryffindors. He was brave, almost to the point of being reckless and had the many injuries from his many adventures to prove it. James Potter was right, and off to Hogwarts he went. On the train, he befriended Sirius Black, and the two boys took an instant dislike for Severus Snape, which would grow throughout the years. This caused him to butt heads with Lily Evans, although there was something about her that even 11 year old James Potter couldn't help but be intrigued by. As predicted, he was sorted into Gryffindor, and the two boys quickly grew attached at the hip and befriended Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. Early in second year, James had been noticing more and more that Remus continued to disappear. After grabbing his invisibility cloak that his father gave him before leaving for Hogwarts, he followed him out and that was when James discovered that Remus had a secret: He was a werewolf. James had been stunned and didn’t know how to handle it, in the least. But the one thing that he did know was that Remus was his friend. After not speaking of it to anyone, he had spent the next day in the library and while Remus was still recovering, James went to Sirius and Peter with an idea. They would become animagi and do what they could to help protect Remus during his transformations. James knew that transfigurations was something that they needed to excel in and he was at the top of their year already. When he went to Remus, Remus was determined that he didn’t need anyone to help him but James wasn’t convinced. He wanted to help his friend and wasn’t going to take no for an answer. As the Marauders continued to rise in popularity and pranks, which did include James and Sirius bullying people, particularly Snape, they worked hard and finally becami animagi, and did what they could to help Remus. As James’ popularity grew, his ego continued to grow and it didn’t help that he excelled at everything that he did. He quickly rose to be one of the best Quidditch Chasers Hogwarts had ever seen and impressed girls in all directions, except for the one he wanted to impress: Lily Evans. James hatred for Snape continued to grow, the more Lily continued to reject him and James and Sirius took great pleasure in making the boy suffer. It wasn’t long until James was learning to turn Snape’s hexes against him and he took great pleasure in it, even if he continued to ask Lily to go out with him and she continued to reject him. But it all came to a head in the spring of their fifth year. James had gathered his fellow Gryffindors out at the Lake, and as Sirius encouraged it, James hung Snape upside down by his trousers, quite enjoying the boy’s public humiliation. A part of his arrogance faltered when Lily defended Snape and he released the hex on him, as he fell to the ground. James was horrified when Snape called Lily a horrible name, and as much as he wanted to kill him for what he had done to her, he knew that part of that was on him, and it caused him for the first time to consider his actions. The summer before their sixth year was one that James couldn’t forget. On a particularly dark night when James was still grounded for the incident at the Lake with Snape, there was a banging on their door. As his mum answered it, he saw his best friend on the other side. But this wasn’t the arrogant Sirius that mirrored James’ ways. He was broken and James heart broke for his friend, moving to hug him and from that day on, James Potter and Sirius Black were brothers. Sirius was part of the family and had found a new home. Although most people didn’t become Captain of the Quidditch team until seventh year, James was made Captain at the start of his sixth year. As sixth year unfolded, James continued to ask Lily out and she continued to reject him. He still spent his time hexing Snape when he could, partly because he was still mad that he had hurt Lily the way he had. But one night during Remus’ transformation, Sirius took it too far and lured Snape to the Weeping Willow, so that Remus could get rid of him once and for all, while a werewolf. James found out about the plan and even though he hated Snape more than he hated anyone, he stopped it and at the last minute, he saved his life. James continued to spend time with girls from all directions, notably Emma Vanity and Glenda Chittock. But not long before sixth year ended, he and Lily wound up sharing a heated snog in the dark corridors, and Jame knew then that no other girl would compare to her, and broke it off with both girls. That summer was one that changed his life completely. One day an owl arrived from Dumbledore, and he had been named Head Boy. After pulling Sirius off the floor from his laughing, James wondered what the hell Dumbledore was thinking. But, his mother, who had grown rather ill had pulled him into her room late that night and told him this was a chance to change, and that he needed to deflate his head. But, the next few days were ones that James Potter hadn't seen coming. His parents had died, only a few days apart. He was broken. He only confided in Lily Evans, who as she helped him through it and they served as Heads, they grew closer, and eventually, after them not labeling their newfound intimacy, he finally got her to agree to be his girlfriend. He really started to pull it together but the more he pulled it together, the more he started to see that he was growing up and starting to see that the wizarding world was getting darker and finding less joy in the recklessness he once had. Dumbledore noticed it too and right before Christmas, he approached James about getting involved with a new project, a resistance to fight Voldemort and his followers. James signed up eagerly and became the first student to be recruited into the Order of the Phoenix. Along with the Aurors planted at Hogwarts, James helped recruit people that could help, and backed the Order financially. He even found himself proposing to Lily before leaving, and helped lead Gryffindor to victory in the Quidditch Final. James Potter left Hogwarts how he wanted to: popular and a Quidditch Star. Once out in the real world, it became quite clear that this war threatened to destroy them all. James resolution to help fight and end this war was stronger than ever. He tried to still find things to take lightly, but it got harder, the more blood that was spilled. It became a real question, whether, any of this was going to break James Potter once and for all, or if he will rise up and be the fighter that he was likely born to be. Lily was often his rock and them marrying was something that managed to be something happy in their lives. As time went on, things just continued to get worst. Just when James and Lily thought that nothing could become more complicated, Lily became pregnant. While they were overjoyed at this development, they both knew that it was frightening. It became even more frightening when their child became a part of a prophecy. Though they went into hiding, they were betrayed, and Voldemort came to kill Harry. James tried to fend him off, wanting to give Lily and Harry time. He knew he would be killed, and he was right. He died protecting his family.
