Chapter 121: “Suspicious attitude”

One day in mid-January, James as usual went to the Room of Requirement to continue his training and study routine. He went alone, as Lupin had fallen behind on several assignments, as he spent more time studying more advanced subjects and left aside assignments in History of Magic, Astronomy, etc.

That day, James finished his training later than usual. He usually stays in the room for about three and a half hours. He leaves the room at half past eleven at night. This time he stayed five...

Chapter 120: “Special honor”

In the following days, James had Potions class and was in a group with Snape and Emily. He felt so sorry every time he saw his first friend.

He couldn't believe that she had to live through so much physical and verbal abuse by her stepmother and her blood father completely ignoring her as if she didn't exist.

Also, from what Gwen told him, the physical abuse was severe. To the point that they left wounds on her arms, legs, back, etc. Especially since they were places not visible w...

Chapter 119: “Secret revealed”

James first went to the Great Hall, but she was not to be found there. Then he went to the library, and there was no sign of her either.

There were only two possible places: the Slytherin common room, a place where James couldn't pass by and talk to her. And the balcony on the fourth-floor tower.

James headed there. He touched the camouflaged button on the frame and when he opened the door he could see Gwen sitting on the floor with her head between her knees.

Gwen's head wa...

Chapter 118: “Practice with Narcissa Black”

On Saturday, James headed to the Dragon Club to practice and hang out with Gwen. Since the talk they had at the Florean Fortescue ice cream shop, their relationship was much improved.

He also talked to Lupin about his condition, and everything went swimmingly. The other marauders also accepted him. He managed to solve all his problems with his friends, and his training was going well.

His new ability, which was a sort of Wingardium Leviosa, but without a wand and non-verbal, was g...

Chapter 117: “Forgotten talent”

Monday, January 1, 1973.

The students had only one day to rest before classes began. James, when he arrived yesterday at Hogwarts already found Sirius, who looked like he had been at the castle for many days.

This was normal since he was coming back as soon as possible, but this time it was worse. From what Lupin and Toby, who had stayed at the castle told him, Sirius arrived on Christmas Day running away from home.

It seems there was a big argument with his family. The rest...

Chapter 116: “Potter Manor”

James would be spending this Christmas at the home of his grandfather, Henry Potter. Rather, at his grandfather's Manor: Potter Manor.

Potter Manor is the ancestral home of the Potter family and the current residence of his grandfather. The mansion, was located in Gloucestershire, England. It was gigantic. Not even the Shafiq manor or other pureblood family manor came close in size.

The Manor was built in 1212 with the permission of King Richard I of England. Its first owner was L...

Chapter 115: “Presentation”

For the next week Professor Eustace was in the infirmary and constantly going to the bathroom.

The students were spared from having classes for a few days, but it was better than nothing. Many students watched the trail of liquid shit as if it were an attraction until Filch had to clean it up with a grimace of disgust.

No one suspected that the professor's shitting was the fault of some students. Everyone thought it was because he ate some bad food or something. The plan had gone ...

Chapter 114: “Revenge”

The balcony was not very spacious. The walls were of stone with warm, earthy tones, they were skillfully intertwined with vines that looked like they had been there for a long time. Through the sale was a panoramic view of the lake and the Forbidden Forest.

"Yes, very beautiful. How long ago did you find it?" asked James.

"Last year. When... we fought. That's why I didn't show it to you. The view is much more beautiful at sunset," replied Gwen.

"Do you want to wait until sun...

Chapter 113: “Debut”

Sunday, November 6, 1972.

The day of the match arrived. Today was the day James and Sirius would make their debut on the Gryffindor team. At breakfast, there was great excitement for the quidditch season to begin.

James noticed Sirius' hand trembling as he brought his tea to his mouth. His expressionless face did not accompany his trembling hands.

"Don't be nervous, Sirius. Everything will go as planned. If you stick to the plan," William said as he saw Sirius's trembling ha...

Chapter 112: “Laxative Potion”

The Saturday James headed to the Dragon Club. He had an interrogation from Gwen, but luckily, he was able to calm her down by taking the conversation down a different path, and they ended up practicing some offensive charms.

'It's very tiring dealing with her when she's angry...' thought James with sweat on his forehead.

...

October passed, and so did Halloween. It was a big party. The whole castle was decorated with pumpkins that seemed to have a life of their own, hundreds...

Chapter 111: “Lily's request”

October began at Hogwarts. Halloween was getting closer and closer. James sent a letter to his mother letting her know that Headmaster Dumbledore knew about Lupin's condition and had taken appropriate measures.

Lupin had already recovered after his transformation, and for the first time, a friend accompanied him to the infirmary. It was a strange feeling, but not a bad one.

Madame Poppy Pomfrey. The Hogwarts nurse was very surprised when James said he knew about Lupin's condition....

Chapter 110: “Patronus Practice”

On top of all the training and studying James was doing at this time he had to try out for the quidditch team.

James had a second-year competitor who wanted to try out for Seeker, but he crushed him. William gave them a couple of tryouts, and James passed with flying colors.

Sirius also decided to try out for the team. He had originally intended to try out for the beater position but had given up on that some time ago. For the simple reason that in that position were the two Prewe...

Chapter 109: “Professor Eustace Burke”

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class was worse than James initially expected for two reasons: the professor and his method of study and that they again had to share classes with Slytherin.

The professor's name was Eustace Burke. A middle-aged wizard with some wrinkles, dark skin, brown eyes, and glasses. His aura didn't command any respect. He looked like a kindly old man you would find sitting on a bench feeding pigeons.

He wore a light green tunic with a hat of the same color...

Chapter 108: “A good friend”

After dinner, James and Lupin headed down the corridor of corridor seven in their invisibility cloaks. It wasn't curfew yet, but James wanted to get started as soon as possible.

Reading and practicing Transfiguration could be done in the Gryffindor common room, but James preferred to have a quiet room to himself. Besides, he could practice defensive and offensive charms with Lupin.

So this time, he asked for a room with a medium-sized sparring area and another study area with comf...

Chapter 107: “Unforgivable Curses”

Potions class was over. James and the other Gryffindor students hurried to the greenhouses. They had about ten minutes before the class with Professor Sprout began.

On the way many of them complained about the group they got. Sirius incredibly did not complain that he was with two Slytherin girls. At first, he didn't seem too happy, but now he seemed in a good mood.

James didn't mind being with Emily. It was even a good thing, as he would have to chat with her, and they could reac...

Chapter 106: “Particular group”

Monday, September 5, 1972.

Classes officially began. Students had the weekend to settle into the castle after the summer vacation.

Quidditch tryouts would begin in the second week, and you had to be at least a second year to sign up. Although James was assured of a place, as it was almost impossible for there to be a better Seeker than him, William told him that he would have to try out for the formalities so that they wouldn't think he got differential treatment.

James didn...

Gwen Shafiq Fancast

Some of you may recognize the actress if you saw the One Piece live action series that was recently released. She's the girl who plays Nami. Her name is Emily Rudd.

She's the actress who gave me the most Gwen vibes, although her age is older (31 years old) compared to a girl in her teens :u, but she doesn't look that much.

Chapter 105: “Dark Arts”

The new Hogwarts students were placed into different houses by the Sorting Hat, which shouted out the name of the most suitable house for each one.

James found it curious to watch the nervous new students. Although much of the nervousness was due to being watched by hundreds of eyes.

Sirius' younger brother, Regulus Black ended up in Slytherin. Sirius clicked his tongue, but he already expected his brother to be different from him.

Regulus looked like his older brother. He h...

Chapter 104: “Thestrals”

"Nice to meet you. Do you want to be a reporter?" asked James.

"Yes! I want to have my magazine and work only with the truth!" replied Xeno with a smile.

"Oh Like the Prophet?" asked James. When that name came out of James' mouth, a disgusted expression appeared on Xeno's face.

"Tsch, those crappy reporters. They should be ashamed of themselves working for that corrupt and deceitful newspaper," said Xeno, spitting on the ground in disdain.

"..." James partly agreed wit...

Chapter 103: “Back to King's Cross”

James was riding in the back seat of his father's Peugeot 504. The destination was King's Cross station in London. Next to him was Shadow in his cage, resting quietly, oblivious to the occasional potholes that Fleamont failed to avoid.

James was looking out of the window deep in thought. The sky was full of gray clouds. It looked like it might rain at any moment.

James wasn't thinking about his friends or the pranks he wouldn't be able to pull this new school year, or the fact tha...

Chapter 102: “Bittersweet ending”

Euphemia forced James to dance with her, and he didn't dare to refuse when he saw her enthusiasm.

Sirius, who thought he wouldn't have to dance, had to dance with Andromeda, who forced him to dance. Since she was the bride, Sirius could not refuse and reluctantly had to dance with her.

Andromeda considered Sirius as her little brother. With Sirius, she got along very well, and they had the same thoughts when it came to blood purity and so on. This was very hard to find especially ...

Chapter 101: “Andromeda Wedding”

Sunday, August 28, 1972.

At six o'clock in the evening, James and Sirius stood in front of the large white tent, set up in the extensive park of Alphard's house. They were waiting for the guests, and both of them already had their robes on.

James tried to do his hair as well as he could for the special occasion. His hair was very difficult to comb, but he had it much better than normal.

The two boys were holding a seating plan in their hands to help the guests find their sea...

Chapter 100: “Lend a hand”

The days at Sirius's uncle's house passed. They were more fun than James first thought. This was because Sirius and James had total freedom.

Alphard let them do whatever they wanted. Leave the house unannounced and explore the town. Throw quaffles in the middle of the room without caring if they broke anything. Flying brooms in the backyard of the house, which was huge.

Even Alphard told them they could use their wands since their house had protections that allowed them to cast ma...

Chapter 99: “Upper Flagley”

James and Sirius began to explore Diagon Alley enthusiastically. The first store they visited was: Gambol and Japes Magical Prank Shop. Located on the south side of Diagon Alley.

This store sold a wide range of joke items and other products that served as entertainment. The owner was a man with a white beard and mustache.

James and Sirius stocked up on many dungbombs. Each one they bought for 1 Sickle and 21 Knuts. They also bought fabulous no-heat and wet-start fireworks from Dr....

Chapter 98: “Alphard Black”

James still had time before he met with Sirius and his uncle, so he took the opportunity to buy the necessary books for the second year.

Several books would continue to use the same ones from the first year, such: as A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration; A History of Magic; A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms; and Drafts and Magical Potions, among others.

One of the things he did this year was to read the entire book: A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration. James was planning t...

Chapter 97: “First date?”

James was up at 11:30 in the morning. After breakfast, he was ready to head to Diagon Alley for his meeting with Gwen.

"See you in a bit," James said, waving goodbye to his parents. How first he would meet to talk to Gwen his parents would not go with him. They would go to say goodbye when it was time for him to leave with Sirius and his Uncle Alphard.

"Good luck on your date," Fleamont said with a smile, and Euphemia laughed under her breath.

"It's not a date!" retorted Jam...

Chapter 96: “Invitation from Sirius”

The days at the Potter House passed. With three days to go before Toby had to return to the orphanage, Peter arrived.

The situation of his mother paying more attention to Toby than to him was repeated several times in those days. However, James did not want to show it to his friend, so that his friend would not feel bad.

It was not the same with his mother. He started to distance himself in some things like for example in the goodnight kisses, he told her that he was too old for t...

Chapter 95: “Jealousy?”

James was awakened by the rays of sunlight streaming through his window. He looked at the clock hanging on his wall and noticed that it was later than usual.

'Ugh... I shouldn't have stayed up so long reading that damn book,' James thought, rubbing his eyes lazily.

After Toby got home, he didn't have as much free time for his study routine, so he started reading more in the evenings.

'Weirdly, Mom hasn't woken me up,' thought James, standing up and stretching lazily. He took...

Chapter 94: “Gwen's Birthday”

Sunday, July 17, 1972.

County Wiltshire in southwest England.

Surrounded by extensive grounds one could see a majestic residence with walls that seem to be very old. This was Shafiq Manor. Where Gwen and Emily moved several years ago, leaving their mansion in Godric's Hollow.

Compared to their previous mansion, this one was much larger and with much more extensive gardens. The main entrance is marked by an imposing wrought iron gate, flanked by stone columns supporting a cla...

Chater 93: “Talk with dad”

Over the next few days, James wore the contact lenses, and they were almost perfect.

If you wear them for more than eight hours, you will feel a dry or irritated sensation that gets worse the longer you go over eight hours. Although eight hours is a good wearing time, James wants them to last twice as long. About 16 hours without uncomfortable sensations or eyestrain.

Luckily for him, his father took this problem very seriously and began research to magically fix these contact len...
