You look just like your father Everyone used to say to James. Except your eyes, you have your mother's eyes. And her hair and freckles, James thought but people never mentioned that, hearing it used to annoy James.

People were saying it less and less as years went by though. It could be because he was becoming his own person, James thought. Or it was because it was clear, he wasn’t his father.

Dad had been halfway to saving the world by now, James thought pulling a textbook to him, he was going to be lucky to pass his O.W.Ls.

Ah, poor James. It can't be easy to live up to a father who saved the world before he was 18.

[lightofdaye]

Thanks! James certainly feels he has a lot to live up to.

Poor James. This is so canon. I can totally see it. Nicely done.

[lightofdaye]

Thank you! Part of James', all the potter kids really, growing up is figuring out they're their own people.

[sportivetricks]

Awww, Jamie. :( It doesn't help that he's the firstborn, either.

[lightofdaye]

He'll rise to the occasion I'm sure! Note he's overestimating Harry as of ootp.

Thanks for reading :)

[sportivetricks]

Yep, I was thinking, Aunt Hermione could disillusion Jamie of Harry's O.W.L.-level genius quick enough. ;)
