okay but imagine that james wasn\u2019t in the house that halloween. he was talking to dumbledore or out to get groceries or anything that has him out of the house. so lily is home alone but she still sacrifices herself for her son, so the curse still rebounds and hits voldemort and\u00a0\u201ckills\u201d him. so harry is still the boy who lived, but james is alive<\/i>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

and of course it\u2019s awful. it\u2019s a terrible moment, burying lily. james is devestated and has no idea how he\u2019s going to raise harry alone. he has to testify that peter betrayed the order, because he\u2019s alive to pass on the knowledge that peter was his secret keeper, not sirius. sirius doesn\u2019t go to prison because he\u2019s too busy helping james cope with lily\u2019s death to go after peter, and peter\u2019s already faked his death by the time he can leave james.\u00a0<\/p>\n

remus and sirius move in with james to help take care of harry, because he swears he can\u2019t do it on his own. remus doesn\u2019t have to focus on rent and food money because james tells him he\u2019s family, so he can focus on a job he actually enjoys such as editing or writing, something freelance so he can take full moons off and no one will wonder why.\u00a0<\/p>\n

sirius refuses to get any job beside full time babysitter, curls up as padfoot and keeps harry warm and safe, especially when the boy gets older and starts having nightmares about what happened to his mom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

harry is raised in the wizarding world, with the most protective family of anyone he\u2019s ever met, and invites ron and hermione over to his house during the summer and somehow padfoot always gets them into some<\/i>\u00a0sort of trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n

when harry goes through hardships at hogwarts, he always has his dad to turn to. james would stroke his hair back from his forehead and kiss his son\u2019s scar and remind him,\u00a0\u201cyour mother was the most brilliant witch there ever was and she\u2019s watching over you, so you\u2019ll never have to worry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

even when pettigrew comes back and revives voldemort, james is on the quidditch pitch the minute harry comes back with the cup and cedric\u2019s dead body, remus and sirius right behind him and swearing he\u2019ll destroy anyone who doesn\u2019t take his son seriously.\u00a0<\/p>\n

the fight at the ministry harry\u2019s fifth year, james would remind sirius to keep focused, remind him not to get overwhelmed with adrenaline and to focus, and would watch not just harry\u2019s back but his best friends\u2019 too. when he sees sirius too focused on making fun to notice bellatrix amazing a curse straight at him, he dives in front of it to push sirius out of the way and ends up in St. Mungo\u2019s after the fight, a little bruised and battered but with promises that he\u2019ll heal and a sheepish apology from Padfoot in the former of an old, drool covered chew toy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

when harry disappears seventh year, he and james keep in contact with the magical mirrors that belonged to sirius and james paces the kitchen every evening, listening to potterwatch and shrugging off Sirius\u2019 shoulder on his hand telling him that their boy will be okay because he\u2019s incredibly smart and incredibly brave and honestly mate how\u2019d you make such an amazing boy?\u00a0<\/p>\n

and then the fight at hogwarts happens. remus and sirius have each other\u2019s backs and james just wants to find harry. he does, a little too late, being carried out of the woods in hagrid\u2019s arms. he breaks down and drops to his knees and remus and sirius look at each other and think,\u00a0\u201cthere is no way we can fix him after this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

but then harry is back and voldemort is dead and james\u2019 face is tear stained and they\u2019re all worn out and bruised but their family is alive<\/i>\u00a0and sirius, a little hesitantly, offers,\u00a0\u201c\u2026so who wants ice cream?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ow my heart.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

that\u2019s okay, my uncle\u2019s a heart surgeon becauSE YOU JUST STABBED ME<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
