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.

"She's never going to move on, is she?" "No, I don't believe so." In which Hazel McVay does her very best to get over James Potter, with the help of some friends of course. - A short story with short chapters. A bit cringe looking back on this. All credit goes to the Harry Potter series, except my OC.

[BOOK ONE OF MISCHIEF MANAGED SERIES] "Just look at her, James!" Sirius cried out exasperatedly. "Can't you see it? You're in love with her." He shook his head stubbornly. "No, I love Lily." "Get over yourself. It's always been Catherine, Prongs. Just look at her!" And so he did just as Sirius did too. And in that moment, Catherine tipped her head back to laugh at whatever Lily told her, and James realized that it was true. He was in love with a girl he never expected to fall for. But it wasn't only him, Sirius too realized he had fallen for her. ««•»» Catherine Valentine had it all. She was exceptionally kind, beautiful, tall, a mischievous prankster, had a loud melodious laugh, belonged to a rich family, could care less about blood status despite being a pureblood, and an exquisite personality everyone loved. Oh, and let's not forget the heart of a certain Marauder. Not one but two Marauders. Highest Ranking: #1 in Marauders #1 in Mischief Managed #1 in JK Rowling #11 in James Potter #61 in Sirius Black #20 in Remus Lupin

[ EDITING] James Potter was a skilled and talented wizard, his name a renowned one amongst Hogwarts students. Many knew him because of his outstanding Quidditch skills, most because of his infatuation with Lily Evans, but everyone knew he was a key member of the infamous Marauders that tormented the castle on a daily basis. Everyone thought he was an open book, easy to read, easy to keep up with. No one really understood how a chap as charming as James Potter would end up falling in love with Alexis Riddle, a renowned name in her own right, for being Lord Voldemort's little sister that is. But of course, James had always been cursed with having the worst of luck in love, and the fact that his loved one had been conceived under the use of a love potion proved so.
