James Potter

I've been distracted lately though from what I gather, it sounds like I've missed a lot. I've been thinking about the future, I guess. I have two quidditch offers, and I applied to some other jobs, but I still don't really know what I want to do. I'm not sure I want to play professional quidditch especially since as a seeker, losing is so devastating, but it's also hard to turn down a good offer even if someone else probably deserved it mo. But I guess I'll wait and see what happens. We still have interviews to get through before we make a decision.

Suddenly we're all so old and grown up. It's strange

Private to Garrett
I should have told you sooner but I'm sorry I let you down. again. Are you alright? You've been quieter at practice.

Private to self
I'm still thinking about that stupid article. I know it's not technically true, but I can't help but think it's based on truth. It feels like professors do sometimes give me more leeway than I deserve. People do sometimes treat me differently. And maybe next month, I will be offered a job I haven't earned. I received two offers already, and I can't help but feel it's because my dad saved the world and mum was a talented player. It definitely wasn't because of my horrible performance on Saturday, and I wonder if they overlooked that because of my legacy. I think to some extent, that's life but it doesn't seem fair. But what can do you? I can't change my family, even though I wish sometimes I was someone other than James Sirius Potter. It's hard always living in your father's shadow, especially since there's no way I can ever measure up.

Private to Lily, Albus, Rose, Hugo
Do you think we get special treatment because of our parents?

Private to Dom
Were you ever planning on telling me about you and Roald?

Private to Kingsley
Rumor has it that you punched Chase. Talk. What's going on with you.

Private to Chase
Are you alright?

Private to Danny
Do you have any idea what is going on with our roommates? I am tempted to give Chase a drug test, but I have no idea what has set Kingsley off.

Some old man followed me around for much of this morning, giving me unsolicited quidditch advice. He vowed he'll never send his children to Hogwarts if we lose this tournament, and he seemed to think pestering me was the best way to ensure that doesn't happen. Come to think of it, I think he may have been a little bit mental. But he kept going on about various quidditch strategies and training methods- most of which sounded a little questionable or outright illegal- and I don't think he really knew what he was talking about.

My first mistake was confirming that yes, I am James Potter. I should have just pretended to be someone else. My second was not telling him to bugger off because he followed me for a good half an hour before I managed to escape.

I think I need to lay low for the rest of the day in case he somehow manages to find me again.

My hair seems to have magically grown overnight. And now I actually look like a Weasley.

It was funny for all of two seconds, but whenever I try to cut it, my scissors breaks or my wand malfunctions. I think it just makes it grow more to spite me. And the tangles. I think it ate part of my comb when I tried tame it, and I think I just angered it into tangling more.

There's no winning, it seems. I think I will just have to look like a hobo for a week. That is not something I am happy about.

Private to Dom
Why am I being targeted?

Private to Corrie
I'm sure you've probably heard from everyone else by now so I apologize if this is the last thing you want to hear again, but how are you holding up? Is there anything you need? I'd be happy to watch after Aimee for as long as you want me to.

Private to Chase
You've been distance since this weekend. I figure talking about it is the last thing you want but is there anything you need?

And I hope you realize that we don't think you're useless or that you're some kind of lap dog or whatever. You're an important part of the team and everyone knows that.

Private to Feiyi
I think it's time for Jamie and Aimee to have a play date.

Though really it's just an excuse to spend time to you. How are things going?

Private to Dominique
You seem to be extra chipper lately. Did something exciting happen or are you just pleased over some plot involving Louis and hair products?

Private to Hugo
So uh. That performance to Kingsley.

Is everything okay?

Congratulations, Beauxbatons. You all played really well. It was a good game.

Private to Hogwarts team
I'm sorry I lost us the game. Everyone played so amazingly, despite losing Eddie and Garrett. I didn't mean to ruin it.

Private to Eddie and Garrett
How are you feeling?

Private to Potter-Weasleys
Sometimes I hate playing seeker. You only have one thing to do, and one mistake means you lose the game. We're only barely behind Durmstrang, so it could be worse, but I can't afford to miss the snitch again.

Private to Roald
Is everything okay? I heard about the girls you've been with.

Private to Dom
Are you okay? I know how Roald's been behaving.

(added later) Private to Hugo
Will you leave Roald alone?

Private to family and close friends
I have been invited to something called the Handsome Men's Club. I have no idea what that means. Was anyone else invited? I feel like this must be a joke because I can't see the school allowing something like this to exist. And the letter is just so strange. I don't know what to make of it.

Also I think the fish Riley gave me is dying. It won't eat anything, and I don't know what to do. Schmendrick keeps eying it though; I'm surprised he hasn't actually killed it.

Private to Vlad
So what exactly is this club?

The gala last night was a lot of fun, actually. I met some interesting people, and it's always nice to have a break from the typical school parties. And, of course, I had the lovely Dani as my date so I have no reason to complain.

Though if anyone of you were wondering where Clover and I vanished off to, this should answer all your questions.



We admittedly had a little to drink and we're not the world's greatest musicians (and this was by no means our first shot at this), but we had fun and that's the important part, yeah? But we heard this song play and then we stumbled upon a music room, and it seemed like fate.

Private to Clover
I'm really glad that we got to actually spend some time together. Things have been so dramatic lately, and we haven't really had any time to just relax and enjoy ourselves, you know? And I've missed that. And, to be honest, it was nice to get my mind of Aggie and Eirik I promise that I won't spend our last term at Hogwarts complaining about my life all the time though. But you really are wonderful at making me forget all of problems and worries.

Private to Dani
I hope you enjoyed yourself yesterday. I'm really glad you agreed to go with me. I had a truly fantastic time.

Private to Clover, Amber, Lily, Albus because he does not seem to do public entries anymore

So I may have just gotten myself two dates.








Is that bad?

Thank you for that walk the other day. And for helping to get my mind off things. You were really wonderful, and I'm sorry I didn't thank you sooner. I've just been. Distracted, I guess.

How are you though? Any exciting plans for the holidays?

Private to family, Clover, Kingsley, Amber, Dani, Danny, Chase, Alice, Feiyi(?), other close friends I forgot but no Krums
Aggie's seeing someone else.

Aggie is seeing Eirik Krum. Who I thought was my friend.

My friend is dating my ex.

What the fuck. How is that okay? I don't know what to do. I guess I figured she'd move on eventually but not like this.

And I haven't moved on so I hadn't expected her to

Private to Roald
Did you know?

Private to Eirik
you ars Aggie? Of all the girls here you had You're my friend, you don't do that to pe you couldn't tell me you should have asked if you wan how could y I don't even know what to say to

Private to Potter-Weasleys
Well if Albus has a date for this Warbeck thing, I figure I should find one too. I can't be upstaged by my bald, younger brother. That would be embarrassing.

Except I have no idea who to ask. Suggestions?

Is it weird that I am asking my family for dating advice?

Private to Clover
Are you alright? It was sort of hard to talk at the party.

Did something happen with Chase? Do you need anything?

Private to Alice
Did you leave because I was a bad d You disappeared last night. I tried finding you again, but I couldn't. I hope I didn't do anything to upset you. I would feel awful if I did something unintentionally that stopped you from having a good time.

Private to Dani
Thank you for the costume idea. And the dance.

Private to Eirik
Where did you vanish off to last night? I was trying to say hello, but then I lost you. What, did you wander off with some pretty girl?

Private to Dom, Lucy, Albus, Louis, Rose
So how did your dates go? Not too traumatic, I hope. And I hope Toby didn't pine over Ess It seemed like everyone was well paired though- which, Dom, I must admit I was pleasantly surprised by. Albus, I take it you made it through without having a panic attack. And Dom, I hope you were nice to Roald. Don't break his he

Of course, half of the school was acting weird at the masquerade; I would assume somebody spiked the punch, but that wouldn't explain why only some people were affected and not others. Are you feeling alright, Lucy? You weren't drunk again, were y

So it is really bad luck if you dream that you die?

Well, I woke up before I was actually dead, but it was clear that was the direction it was heading in. It was a dream about the apocalypse, and there were these two people who turned into monsters because they were trying to destroy the earth in order to rebuild it. And there were tsunamis, and I was drowning. And then I woke up. It was very strange, but less scary than it should have been. I don't really understand dreams. But it could just be my body warning me that I have consumed too many sweets, and that if I keep it up, it'll turn on me. I don't know.

Apparently Hogsmeade is this weekend. To be honest, I forgot we even had a trip coming up. With Quidditch and the gender swap (which thank Merlin is over), I guess I've been a little distracted. I only remembered because everyone was talking about dates. So who doesn't already have plans and wants to do something?

Private to Clover
So are you going with Chase, then?

Private to Aggie
Thank you. It especially meant a lot since I didn't think you'd even want to acknowledge my birthday. I wouldn't have blamed you.

So, ah, how are things? I assume you survived being a boy?

Private to Garrett
Congratulations on being made captain.

Wait. So if we're attracted to a girl who's really a guy are we gay? But since we're now girls, if we're normally straight would be now be attracted to guys who are really girls? And what if you get turned on by yourself?

Is there any way we can come out of this without royally screwing up our sexualities?

I am just doing my best to not look at myself.

Even though it is really weird to have breasts.

It's weird that this is my last first day at Hogwarts. To think, some of us just saw our last sorting. But as far as last years go, having an international Quidditch tournament is a pretty fantastic though I've never been that passionate about Qui. A three day weekend is not bad either as I don't have classes on Fridays. This will be a different year, obviously, but I think it will be an interesting one. It's also strange starting the year single

Private to Hogwarts quidditch players
Now that we are back at school, how do people feel about a group practice? Obviously we won't be figuring out strategies or anything since we don't know who is on the team, but training together and getting back in shape wouldn't hurt. Besides, we're all so used to playing against each other so I think it'd be helpful to see how we work together and maybe begin to put those house rivalries behind us.

Private to Roald
I have no classes tomorrow. What are you doing?

Well since most of you have seen me half naked by now, I think it's time for me to introduce myself. I wouldn't want you thinking that I'm just a nice face. I'm James Potter, and I'll be trying out for seeker. I'll be a 7th year, and no, I have no idea what I want to do when I leave Hogwarts. I never really know what to say in these intros, but you can ask me anything and I'll do my best to answer honestly. I know that we'll be playing against each other (in theory at least, implying that I make the team) but I don't see why we cant be friends. You already know what my siblings and I look like (and probably my parents too) so I'll spare you another picture. Instead, you can meet another member of my family.


This is Schmendrick, on the day we got him. Mum wanted one of the ones in the back, but I liked him the best. He seemed to want to be a dinosaur and I like a cat with big dreams. You can meet him as well this year, though now he's older and less inclined to pretend to be something other than a cat.

Private to friends
So is everyone going to this party on Saturday? I haven't decided if I want to or not.

Private to Clover
So are you going to be talking to me this year?

Private to Aggie
I'm sorr I miss yo I was an arse but c Will you ever forg I hate not talking to you I still lov

do you ever feel like our whole lives have been planned out for us? That we're just gonna end up like our parents? Aren't we entitled to choose to just be happy?
