James Potter's first introduction into the true wizarding world starts with a broken clock, a heart-to-heart with his father, running into a snobby, very rude kid with a strange brother who he tells himself he doesn't like, and wounds on his palms that he'll continue to bring up long after they heal.
OR:
A Marauders fanfic, centered around James Potter, that's all about growing up, meeting new people, and finding the little things in life that make every day seem a bit less dreadful than usual. Pranks, laughter, tears, comfort. Just four boys, learning, loving, and (at least for a bit) living. All the while, the world beyond Hogwarts grows more dangerous with each day.
Basically, James Potter is young, dumb, ridiculously immature, and has no idea what he's getting into.
Good thing he meets 3 other young, dumb, and ridiculously immature kids. Now they can wander the world in confusion together. :)
Honestly, just read the story, and if you like it, stick around! <3

Mischief Managed Year Two Part One: The Poisoned Truth
Remus was sure he'd have to say goodbye to his friends this year, but oddly it seems they have forgotten about his secret entirely. Or, more likely, they are hatching some sort of plan to uncover it. But with a strange new Professor who seems determined to lessen his classes' prejudices, maybe, just maybe, there's hope yet-even though Remus knows it's only a matter of time they find out. However, he has bigger things to worry about. Mainly keeping his other two friends from murdering Peter, finding a way to be supportive about Quidditch to both Sirius and James, and trying to hold off Patricia's attempts to take them to the forest, which seem far too dangerous and suspicious. Oh yeah, and the Triwizard Tournament is being attempted to be held at Hogwarts for the first time in hundreds of years, though if the attempt will be successful is anyone's guess, especially since there might be a secondary reason for why some of the students from other schools are at Hogwarts. Between classes, Quidditch, tasks, and moons, Remus doesn't know how he's going to make it through this school year without slipping up, but he sure is gonna try.

Little Riddle | James Potter
[ 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.

"We cannot be togther!" Remus shook his head vigorously. "Never in a million years!" "And why not, love?" Amane smirked, taking a step further at the brown haired boy. He took a step back. "Because... we're supposed to be enemies." _ A dark, slow-burn, gothic romantic-suspense set in the Wizarding World with the warm, whimsical Hogwarts charm in the background. ▪ I do not own Harry Potter or the Wizarding World. It belongs to J.K. Rowling and all credit goes to her. I only own some of the original characters I made up for this story. And I would also like to mention that while I absolutely love the Harry Potter books, movies and were a big part of my childhood (and unashamedly in adulthood as well), I certainly DO NOT support any of Rowling's views on transgender community in any shape or form. I thoroughly condemn her transphobic remarks and her trans-exclusionary writings. _
The Order of Mischief III (Marauders)
[EDITED] THIRD YEAR AT HOGWARTS --- Seven years at Hogwarts is enough to create the most loyal of friendships that will last a whole lifetime, or enemies that will try to outlive you. The daughters of the House of Zion find themselves standing alongside strangers in their first year, only to later be split apart as they are placed in the four different houses. Because of their shared blood, the girls frequently meet up and attract the attention of their schoolmates, and eventually that of the Marauders. From first year to seventh year, James Potter and his friends (the Marauders) gather to become the most popular group of boys, all whilst pulling pranks on their peers. As they grow up, some of their friendships fail to maintain platonic and become romantic, even with the most unexpected of people. But with the threat and worry of Lord Voldemort gaining power, the Zion's and Marauders find themselves in tricky situations, where they question their loyalties and priorities. From discovering their own powers, trading secrets and inventing foolish pranks, to fighting to save the world and protecting all that they love and care for, the group learn they are no longer children and have to give up more than they anticipated they would ever have to. --- Writing Dates: September 21, 2024 - Present
