Choices- James Potter [ON HOLD]

The box

"It's christmass!!!" shrieked Lily into Cassiopeias ear "Merry Christmas!!" 

"Shush" groaned Cass burying her head into her pillow "I need my beauty sleep"

The Black heard her red headed friend huff and the room went silent. Assuming she left Cassie hummed in satisfaction a small smile gracing her lips as she snuggled deeper into the warm pillow until.

Thud.

"ow!" Cassiopeia groaned as she rolled around on the floor after being pushed out of the warm bed "Fuck you Evans"

"Ahh love you too sweetie pie" she cooed sarcastically "Get up bitch it's Christmas" 

"Meh"

"Don't be a grinch"

"A what?" Cassiopeia frowned sitting up looking at Lily in confusion who was rolling her eyes at the girls cluelessness 

"Never mind" replied the muggleborn with an eye roll. "A letter arrived for you this morning" 

"Really? from who?" frowned Cassiopeia in confusion. It couldn't be Regulus or Narcissa as there was no doubt that they would avoid speaking to her until they reached Hogwarts, and even then conversations would have to be done in secret. 

"Dumbledore" smiled lily giving the Black a knowing smile

"What on earth could he possibly want?" 

"Maybe he wants my hamster to fight Voldemort" said Lily dramatically wiggling her fingers in a spooky manner. 

"Oh but of course he does" nodded Cassiopeia in agreement "Ol boy wouldn't stand a chance.." 

"Of course not" scoffed Lily and the room went silent Lily clearly itching to ask something. 

"Come on Evans spit it out" laughed Cassie as she noted her friends anxious look

"Whats he like? Voldemort I mean.."

"Terrifying" summarised the girl "but not in the way you'd expect..he looks harmless, actually he looks rather attractive like if he wasn't a murderous sociopath I'd totally do him." explained the girl "But he's more scary in the way he holds himself..I don't know how to explain it..it's almost as if you can tell what he's capable of just by looking at him..he has this crazed look in his eyes...and he's a very skilled legilimens" she paused momentarily trying to find the best way to summarise it to her sister "He's the type of guy who drinks orange juice after brushing his teeth."

"After brushing his teeth?!" gasped the girl in horror

"And that's not even the worst part" gossiped the Black

"How can it get worse?!" 

"It's orange juice with bits" she spoke slowly and quietly

Lily gasped and her eyes widened sheer terror all that was portrayed on her face "That monster!" she cried "I'm going to be sick" she said gagging 

"Let it all out love, it's traumatising just to hear I know" nodded the Raven haired girl in sympathy. And the two burst into a fit of giggles.

"Come on let's go open some presents" laughed Lily calming down and pulling Cassiopeia out of bed.

"I hope Cass is alright" said James for the fifth time that morning as the Potters sat around the base of the Christmas tree. "She's so pretty isn't she" he gushed dreamily sighing as he thought about his girlfriend "And she's smart..and funny..and god those t-"

"James!" scolded Sirius 

"-reats she bakes us" frowned the boy looking at his best mate "What did you think I was gonna say?"

"I-" but the boy was soon interrupted by a beautiful black owl with beady eyes swooping down through the window and perching itself on James shoulder dropping an envelope into his lap.

James' eyes lit up in excitement as he recognised the writing on the front of the envelope. "It's her! it's her!" grinned the boy in excitement waving the letter about wasting no time in ripping open the envelope and scanning the contents of the page, a small bush rising to his cheeks as he read the final paragraph something Sirius noticed. 

"What does it say?" frowned Sirius snatching the letter out of his best mates hand then reading out loud. "Cassiopeia thinks that what the letter says is none of Sirius' business and he should keep his nose out of it unless he wants to be bald before the beginning of next term"  James snickered as Sirius sighed something about 'bloody charm'.

"Told you she was smart" smiled James "But she asked if it was okay for Lily to come stay with her when she visits..they live together now" the boy explained 

"Oh but of course she can!" agreed Fleamont "If she is to be the future godmother of my grand babies I only deem it as appropriate for me to meet her too" 

"Dad!" whined James with a red face

"What?" asked the man obliviously "Now James I think we ought to have the talk"

Sirius let out a large bark like laugh "Think it's a bit late for that one Monty mate" he snorted 

The elders eyes widened and they looked at their son with a look that demanded explanation. 

"It was one time!" defended James but the couple did not remove their gaze from him "two." still not moving "three" he said sheepishly "Okay fine maybe it was a few more than three" he said sighing in defeat. 

"Right" nodded Euphemia "Monty get the box"

"Ahh the box" nodded the man the disappearing upstairs 

"Box?" said James incredulously "What box?" but Sirius stifled a laugh knowing exactly what was about to happen. Mrs Potter didn't answer her son and avoided eye contact and James asked again. "What box?" 

"Aha!" the sound of Fleamonts voice echoed throughout the manor and he hopped down the stairs a shoe box in hand "The box" he said blowing dust off of the top.

"Now James..we were going to wait to give you this until you were ready to well..you know." explained Euphemia gently 

"But it seems you and Cassiopeia can't seem to help yourselves" chuckled Fleamont "Good on you I say" 

"Fleamont!" scolded Euphemia slapping her husbands arm

"Right- Uh sorry. Look son" said Fleamont lifting the lid off of the shoebox to reveal an assortment of contraception methods. James looked inside the box pulling out a shiny gold wrapper containing a condom and scrunching his nose up at it. "Now condoms are the easiest to use of course-"

"Dad! Please don't do this not now" James begged 

"It has to be done James" said Euphemia 

"I don't really fancy becoming a grandpop whilst my son isn't even seventeen yet" snorted Monty "Now this book..lots of contraceptive charms-"

"Dad please it's Christmas!" the bespectacled boy begged as his parents looked at each other and sighed in defeat.

"Oh fine" sighed Euphemia "But don't think you're getting away from this James Fleamont Potter!" called the woman as he dashed out of the room 

"Never mother!"

"Oh that was brilliant" wheezed Sirius "should've seen your face!" 

"Oh fuck off" grumbled James flopping onto his bed.

"No but seriously I'm too young to be an uncle" 

"Sirius!"

a/n; sorry for the lack of updates on this book, had major writers block and got caught up on 1976 so here's a filler chapter I guess.
