A lump arose in James’ throat and his head buzzed with sudden confused thought and feelings. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. He should be pleased for Albus- he really should- so why on earth was he finding it so hard to smile? He paused, confused and then it came to him. He realised why he wasn’t so happy for his brother; James was jealous! For a whole year he was been the special one... the wizard. He was the one who came home in the holidays with pockets of chocolate frogs and amazing stories to tell of his time at Hogwarts. Its true- he may have exaggerated slightly to Lily but only because he loved being there so much. Now he would have to share this title with his silly little brother! He could not pretend he wasn’t expecting the letter to come, and knew he was being completely unreasonable but just couldn’t help it.
Anger rose inside him like a volcano and the words left his mouth before he could stop them. He regretted them instantly. ‘Who would let Albus into a wizard school?’ he scorned hatefully, ‘look at him, he is practically a squib!’ He wanted to seem cool and hard, maybe even just get rid of his anger, but he didn’t mean to hurt his brother. He saw Albus’ formerly beaming face crumple with shock and hurt, and James sat down in horror at his spiteful words.
