[JAMES SIRIUS POTTER]

JAMES SIRIUS POTTER



these eyes you bought have gone to my head
but they won't take you to my bed

"Oh, hello. My name, you ask? I'm James Potter. James Sirius Potter if you must know my middle name. I was named for my father and his best friend, Sirius Black, which I suppose is kind of cool. Though, I'm not sure it's exactly the best omen to be named after people whose lives ended a heck of a lot earlier than they should have. But I don't mind. It's better than being named Albus Severus, thats for sure. Who would want to be named after an old man and a guy whose hair was so greasy there's still stains left in the potions classroom at Hogwarts? Seriously though. Most people just call me James, so I don't really have any nicknames. Except.. ugh.. if you must know sometimes people close to me call me Jamesy when they're teasing me. I hate it but it's definitely better than being called Jim. Jim doesn't seem like a very cool name, after all. Names don't really matter all that much though, I suppose. No more than the purity of ones blood anyway. Which, if you're asking me what I think, means absolutely nothing when it comes to determining the sort of person you're associating with. I'm a halfblood, if it matters. Or, I guess it would technically be more like three quarters since mom is a pureblood and dad is a halfblood. But, again, it doesn't matter. In the twenty six years I've been alive I've never once come across a situation in which it was my blood status that saved me. If you want to know even more about me, nosey pants, I just obtained a position as the transfiguration professor at Hogwarts School. Really, I don't know what made me do it. I hate children, especially teenagers. And most kids at Hogwarts are in their teens. Little bastards that they are.


Some people tell me I look like that Henry Cavill fella. But I don't see it. I'm clearly more attractive than he is."

you talk a good game, but girl you've been played
look at this face you choose to play

"Errrrmm. I'm not being examined for something am I? Like some sort of strange, creepy science experiment? No? Alright well then I guess it won't hurt to tell you a bit more about myself. But this almost seems like one of those silly muggle dating group things? You know, on the Innerts? Innernet? Oh whatever the hell it's called I can't remember. I saw an advertisement for one when I was in London one day. Silly muggles. I have to admit, I do find muggles to be quite interesting. I guess you could consider that something I like. Quidditch, obviously. Have you seen the family I come from? I think if I didn't like Quidditch I'd probably have been tossed in the rubbish a long time ago. I like the way it smells outside after a spring rain, and the way the leaves on the trees look in the fall. Though, red, orange and yellow aren't even close to my favorite color. I like blue the best. Women you would think would be pretty obvious too. But then, Albie is into guys so I guess things aren't always what you would expect them to be. But more than just women in general, I like the way a woman can give you that look and make you do whatever she wants. You know what I'm talking about, right? It's sort of a combination of sultry and innocent. Quite strange, to be honest, but quite sexy too. I tend to prefer brunettes, though really I'm not that picky. And I like to laugh... alot. Practical Jokes are sort of my specialty. Though now that I'm all grown up everyone expects me to be all serious and out of that phase. Umm.. I like to eat pretty much anything. Though there's nothing better than a home cooked meal by mum. She makes the best food everrrrr. Except maybe when compared to Grandma Molly's food. And then, naturally, I'm pretty close to my family. Okay, I'd say more than pretty close. Yes, even with Albus.

As for dislikes, hmmm. I don't know. Who ever likes to think about the things they dislike? I don't really like to see people get hurt, though sometimes I guess it is necessary. Strangely, I hate pretty much every green food on the planet. I know, I know. Green foods are healthy but they remind me of slytherin and I generally loathe everything from Slytherin house. Although, the girls are kind of slutty and seeing them with so little clothing on isn't necessarily a bad thing. OW! Okay, okay, that was a stereotype. Sorry, sorry. I think I told you earlier that I don't really like children. I guess someday in the future if I get married and my wife wants kids, maybe. Or maybe if mum gets on my case enough to give her grandchildren I will. I dunno, just the idea of having to change diapers and be responsible for another human scares me. I don't really like cold weather or snow. And I'm terrible at being alone. I absolutely HATE it. I always find myself bored when I'm by myself and I think more than just being alone, I hate being bored. I strongly dislike dishonesty but I've found that most people who lie are weak or lacking in conscience. So, instead of being mad at them for it I usually feel more sorry for them than anything. Oh, and I hate my nose. Ugly thing. Is that enough now? No? Guhhh what more could you possibly want to ask me?

.... Right then. I'm not really sure how you can expect someone to explain negative and positive traits about themselves. Most people tend to ignore the things that are negative about themselves. Or, at least, refuse to acknowledge that they're actually bad. I guess you could say my biggest flaw, or negative trait, is my arrogance. It gets me into trouble at times because I generally think I can do most things better than anyone else. I'm a bit obsessive, too, which definitely is a bad thing at times. It sort of causes me to get to focused on one thing and forget about other things that need my attention as well. I do sort of have committment issues when it comes to love. Or, maybe I'm just frightened of it? I'm not really sure which one it is but I've sort of always fought against the traditional sort of relationship. Then again, I doubt my short temper would help me out very much if I ever did decide to pursue that sort of relationship. Strange, I'm starting to think the things that are bad about my personality all sort of play off one another. Though, really, are any of them all that bad? OW! Okay, okay you're right they're not so great. OW! Okay, okay you're right they're not at all great they're bad. They're negative. But who would want someone who had absolutely zero negative traits about themself? Isn't that what makes people interesting? No? You think me avoiding answering uncomfortable questions directly is a negative trait? Alright, I guess I can see that but screw you. I'm sick of ripping on myself. Lets talk about the things that are good about me, shall we?

I'm a pretty driven guy, to be honest. Once I set my sights on something It's almost impossible to get me to quit until I've achieved whatever it is I am after. I'm undyingly loyal to those who are my friends and family, and will do anything thats asked of me for them. Maybe that makes me gullible and foolish. I don't know. I just don't think there is anything more important than friends. My dad says that my grandfather was like that. The one I'm named for, I mean. He says thats what he was told once, that his father would have taken it as the gravest offense to mistrust ones friends. I think my humor is a good thing too. It sort of counters the short fuse I have. Instead of getting angry about things if I can make a joke out of them and laugh, I tend do to better. Plus, I am a pretty funny guy. Something that sort of goes hand in hand with my arrogance is my confidence. Don't ask me what the difference is. I guess there isn't really any difference, just how people see your actions and demeanor when you fail and when you succeed. Now, I don't really know how to determine this last trait, but I've been told I'm a pretty charming guy that can put most people at ease with a simple smile and a few kind words. I don't know. Thats just what I've been told so I guess I should let you make that decision for yourself, eh?

Goals, fears and strengths? Well, first of all wouldn't positive traits and strengths be the same thing? You know what, never mind that. I don't want to know how you were going to answer that question. I guess as goals for my life I'd like to become Headmaster of Hogwarts some day. I know I said I don't really like kids all that much but I do like teaching and I like the idea of molding the future generations of witches and wizards. And, well, I'd sort of like to settle down some day. It scares me a bit that there is that desire hidden somewhere inside of me. I try to ignore it for the most part but I suppose one of these days I'll have to give into it... or risk being tortured into insanity by my mother. Fears. Honestly, I'm terrified of not living up to the legacy that my name expects of me. I mean, my dad never knew his father and really he only knew Sirius for a few years at best. Sometimes I feel like he expects a ton out of me and I worry that I'll let him down. Along with that, I'm terribly afraid of losing either of my siblings. Not necessarily by death, though that would be awful too. But.. every family has fights and disagreements. I just worry that one of these times Lils or Albie might decide they're sick of me. I think that would pretty much crush me. When it comes to my strengths, I've always been pretty athletic. I played Quidditch for four years in primary school and I've always been in pretty good shape. Some people would say my creativity and ability to think outside of the box is a strength too. I'm good at finding solutions to problems that aren't exactly obvious. And, finally, I'm pretty much the best at remembering things ever. Okay, no. Thats just me being 'confident'... or arrogant whichever way you want to look at it. But I do remember even the smallest of details from most major events in my life. So yeah, if you make an impression on me you can bet i'll never forget you."

the town talk keeps me up to date
we will never be the same

The first born child of Harry and Ginerva Weasley, James, has always been a child who felt like the weight of the world rested squarely on his shoulders. Not only that, but he has always been one who has believed he has taken that burden on with great ease. As a child he grew up fairly normal. Albus was born before James could realize he was losing out on the attention of his parents and so he never developed the grudge that some children develop towards their younger siblings. Still, there are some stereotypical traits of a first born child that James carries on. Often times he could be found immitating his parents and following them around trying to be involved in what they were doing instead of playing with toys and generally being an average kid. Instead of being a playmate with Albus and Lily, James instead felt more like a supervisor than anything else. Though he still did develop a close connection and affinity for both of them over time. To this day he still sees himself as more of a protector than anything else when it comes to his brother and his sister.

Nevertheless, there were still moments when James allowed himself to be a kid. As with most children of magical birth, James learned as much as he could about Hogwarts before his eleventh birthday. When his owl finally came with his supply list he was, without question, more excited than he had ever been before in his life. Every day up until September seemed to drag by with increasing slowness. Though, finally, the day came when his parents brought him to Diagon Alley with his brother and his sister in tow. Supplies were bought, though James cared little about anything after his visit to Ollivanders. From there it was onto the Hogwarts Express for his first ever trip to Hogwarts School. Nervous and excited, James remembers little about the sorting ceremony aside from the most important moment in which he was sorted into Gryffindor. James settled in quickly, as his parents had assured him he would. And, as they had also told him, there were classes that he hated and did miserably in, and classes that he loved and did wonderfully in. Transfiguration, from the get go, seemed to be his bread and butter. But James generally appeared to be respectable in most subjects that allowed him to work in a hands on, practical manner. It was the more abstract and book based lessons that James struggled mightily in.

During his third year James nearly got himself expelled for attempting to charm the whomping willow into uprooting itself and hunting down any slytherin students he could find. Instead, he was granted detention every weekend for the final four months of the school year. It wasn't the first time he had been caught doing something he should not have been, but it was, by far, the worst punishment he would endure during his seven years at Hogwarts. Going into his fourth year, James told himself he would try out for the house quidditch team and earned a spot as keeper on the starting squad. After winning that spot his pranks and practical jokes, and general overall mischief seemed to decrease. In private he told his friends, who from time to time would encourage him to come with them on their escapades, that he could not for fear of being stuck in detention as frequently as he had been the previous year. After all, detention every weekend would likely mean the end of his quidditch season and that was something he simply could not expect. During his Owl year James managed to achieve at least an acceptable grade in every subject that he was tested but two. But only in Transfiguration and Defense Agains the Dark Arts did James achieve an Outstanding. In Potions and Charms he managed the grade of exceeds expectations. The rest of his scores landed in the acceptable range except for his ancient runes and mythology scores, where he achieved a Dreadful and Troll grade respectively.

At the end of his seventh year, like many other students his age, James did not immediately move into a career. Instead he would spend the next few yearas of his life travelling across the world, mingling with muggles and essentially enjoying life. Though he had heard of the opening for the transfiguration professor position earlier in the year, it wasn't until he ran out of money that he chose to return home and apply for the position at the school. Needless to say he had always been strong in the field of Transfiguration, and there hadn't seemed to be much competition for the job as it was. A week after his interview with the Headmaster, James was granted the position.
