james is a lot like the man after which he was named, his grandfather. he is a natural jokester, always willing to do anything for a good old laugh. sometimes at the expense of others' feelings. james has this air about him that just boasts self confidence and right away one can see that he is very difficult to tear down. he has a strong personality that is not to be challenged. james gets along with mostly everyone, unless your last name is malfoy or you wear slytherin robes.
nothing matters more to james than his family and friends. coming from such a large family makes him very family oriented. he would do anything for those that he loves, without question. he would also just about do anything to impress a girl. james potter is very flirtatious. but he is also very charming, so he flirts with girls with a certain amount of class and suave that really makes it hard for a girl to turn him down. however, many of the girls around hogwarts know of his "flirty bad boy" reputation and therefore write him off or brush off his attempts to charm them. james doesn't take rejection well. when it comes to girls rejecting him, he won't let it show, but it bugs him. it only makes him try harder to get the next one. he is also very competitive. he hates losing. especially to people he dislikes. all around, though, james is a pretty great guy.

after the boy who lived had defeated the dark lord voldemort, he was finally free to live a happy life in the wizarding world. he became an auror, and he got to marry the girl of his dreams. harry potter and ginny weasley weren't alone for long, though. a few years after getting married, the two decided to have a child. upon hearing it was a boy, they frantically began coming up with names. they wanted one that would somehow commemorate those they had known that had died. it took them a while until they had decided upon james sirius, after harry's father james potter and his godfather sirius black.
james was born and by the time he was one, ginny and harry knew it was the right name for him. even at such a young age he was showing the signs of a true little trouble maker! news of the boy who lived having a child spread like wildfire and james, too, would grow up in the spotlight. he wasn't alone for long, though. harry and ginny had enjoyed having one child so much that they decided to have another. albus severus was born a year after james. james didn't take this change hard at all. in fact, he was thrilled to have a playmate! the two bonded quickly, with james occasionally taking the upper hand and being hard on albus, playing little harmless pranks on him and just generally being an older brother. he loved albus nonetheless. then came along the youngest potter, lily luna. she was the only potter child who had got the read hair, while james and albus got more of his father's looks.
james actually was a near spitting image of his grandfather. growing up, so many people told him that he looked just like his old pop. not only did he look like him, but the older he got, the more he was told he acted exactly his grandfather and his father's godfather; his namesakes. james began causing trouble at a young age. not because he was out to prove a point, but because he thought it was fun. he liked making people laugh, and he liked the joy he got himself from pulling pranks on people. he was told that james potter I and sirius black were the same way. in a way, james looked up to them. even though they were two men he had never met and would never meet in his life. there was something about being told he was so alike to these men that made him proud and happy.
it was no surprise that james was sorted into gryffindor. he was one of the first in the whole family to enter hogwarts along with three of his other cousins, aside from his eldest cousin victoire, whom he loved to make fun of for snogging her boyfriend teddy. teddy and james were actually pretty close, like brothers, but james still liked to make fun of him for liking victoire. hogwarts was a great thing for james. being around others his age that weren't his cousins or siblings was thrilling. he found that he really liked attention from other people, which most of the time came from pulling some joke on a slytherin or back talking a teacher. all of this came with a few stern letters from his mother, of course. oh well, it was always worth it.
the first thing james did that had ever made his father extremely proud of him was getting onto the quidditch team as a seeker his first year. just like his father and grandfather before him, james is an extraordinary seeker. it's in his blood, after all. it would be a shock if he wasn't. there are few things james loves more than quidditch, and he knew that the moment he had set a finger on that broom when he was ten. flying through the sky, dodging bludgers and cheering on his teammates gives him a rush like no other (except maybe chasing girls.) james has assisted his house in winning a few quidditch cups in his time, and there is nothing he holds nearer and dearer to his heart. it is, after all, a big part of his relationship between he and his father. harry and james bond over quidditch. they have for years. they have harmless arguments over which team will win each year and they even give each other a few pointers. while harry doesn't play anymore, james has succeeded in teaching his father things he never knew about quidditch before. his third year, his father took him to his first quidditch world cup and he was thrilled. such an event experienced together only made their bond stronger.
the summer before james' fifth year, he had gone into his father's office looking to have a good ol' friendly match of backyard quidditch but harry was not there. james, being the curious fourteen year old that he was, began to poke around. he skimmed over his father's desk, seeing important papers about auror work - yadda yadda yadda - but then, he tried opening a drawer. this drawer was the lowest drawer on the desk and it was the only one that was locked. for a moment, james pondered if he should leave it, but then figured if it was locked it must be very important. so, of course, curiosity got the best of him. he took a paper clip from a little jar of them and unfolded it (a muggle trick his uncle george had taught him, another one of james' role models,) and stuck it into the lock, wiggling it around until the lock clicked. he opened the drawer and inside was just a lone piece of parchment. immediately he knew what it was. harry had not kept his past a secret from his children. he was very open about the dark lord and all of his old adventures with his aunt hermione and uncle ron. this piece of paper in his hands was none other than the famous marauder's map. after checking to make sure the coast was clear, james stuffed it in his jean pockets and closed the drawer. he went off to his room and kept it hidden in his school trunk until school had begun.
the map proved to be great use to james and his partner in crime. the two snuck around hogwarts at all hours of the day, finding new secret passageways and hidden areas they had not known about before. it was around this age that james began slacking in school. quidditch, girls, and friends became more important to him. he started to realize that school really just didn't matter to him; much to his mother's dismay. it was halfway toward the end of his fifth year, after the holidays, when james recieved his firs howler. many onlookers wondered how this could have been his first, considering james' behavior. well, harry had found out that james had took the map and at first he was so furious that ginny felt the need to send a howler. what with his taking the map and his failing grades in school. when he opened the howler at breakfast that day, ginny potter's voice rang out through the great hall. his cousins and friends laughed, and even james let out a chuckle or two. getting his parents mad was something he was used to. it was no big deal to james. in fact, by the time he had returned home that summer his father wasn't mad. he didn't even ask for the map back. "keep it," he had told james. "in fact," he began, and then he handed james a cloak. for one of the first times in james' life, he was speechless. his father was handing him his invisibility cloak. at first james couldn't accept. he knew how much it meant to his dad. but after harry insisted, he happily accepted and embraced his father. ginny, who had been watching from the other room, rolled her eyes but a grin was on her face nonetheless.
what with two family heirlooms passed down to him, james was free to roam the castle and cause all the trouble he pleased in his sixth year. he was busy with that, and of course fighting boys off of lily. he is, to this day, very protective of both of his siblings. he's protective over his entire family, but lily and albus hold a very special place in his heart. he considers them two of his best friends, and even granted them access to the cloak or the map whenever they needed it. and when albus and lily aren't using them, james keeps them locked in a small trunk under his dormitory bed, so no one else can take them.
james didn't do extraordinarily well in his n.e.w.t.s but his sixth year did bring the promise of quidditch captain. which only inflated his social ego more. over the years he has developed a suave and charming personality, which helps him charm the ladies left and right. he spends many of his hogsmeade weekends sneaking off to snog girls near the shrieking shack. it's basically his "spot" where he takes girls. he shares with only his best friend, his partner in crime.
while on the train to school on his final year, most recently, james had been in a compartment with his two best friends when he saw a mysterious person move swiftly past the compartment window. it was at that very moment the train stopped suddenly and the lights went out. adrenaline was immediately coursing through his veins as he told his friends to stay put and he went out into the train hall. he heard a compartment door slide closed just a few down from his own. he stopped, saw a bright green light heard a very loud girl scream and then panic. he looked all around him. he looked behind him to see if anyone was coming and then he turned back around to run to the compartment. he slid the door open and there she was. a first year, in her robes, lying on the compartment floor. james sank to his knees in awe as he realized he was staring at the first dead person he had ever seen.
