"the dreamers and the realists" Daisy Evans was the forgotten sister, probably because she wanted more. She believed there was more than the small life that Petunia wanted but she wasn't welcomed into the magical life of a witch that Lily had. No one from Petunia's life or Lily's life even knew that Daisy Evans existed until James Potter picked the lock on her door. "i could still see us lost in the memory" based on the song, august by taylor swift #7 in james potter on 2.16.21 #23 in potter on 3.6.21 #5 in remuslupin on 3.25.21 #2 in james on 4.7.21 (i recommend listening to 'clouds' on repeat while reading this :))

It has been over a year since the murder of his wife, Lily, and James Potter wishes every day that it is simply a nightmare that he will wake up from. Unfortunately, it isn't and in the wake of her death, James finds himself as a single parent to their son, Harry. The Boy-Who-Lived is known all around the wizarding world as the one to defeat Lord Voldemort on the same night that Lily was killed as the proclaimed "Dark Lord" attempted to rid of the child as well, yet failed. However, James is just trying to do his best in raising Harry in the most normal fashion as he can possibly muster but it's not easy. With one of his former best friends in Azkaban for the betrayal to the Order and his two remaining best friends not on speaking terms, James finds himself drowning in stress. Yet, relief comes in the form of a young woman, named Renata, and their first encounter is nothing short of a chaotic mess. But at the same time, it's the first thing that's made James laugh in months.
