::Harry:: Kicking a Soccer Ball

[James Potter]

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through

James was in the backyard kicking and dribbling the ball around the yard. This was the first time his father hadn’t to tell him to take the soccer ball outside and kick it there. He usually has to tell him to go outside to play with his soccer ball when he a lot on his mind or that he was frustrated. This time he had a lot on his mind and most of it was about Albus and his father. He wanted to know if it was true about him hitting his brother. He cared about his brother but he wasn’t going to leave his father either. He still loved his dad and always will. He had always been a daddy’s boy from the beginning and sometimes that had hurt his mother probably and he would never know because she was no longer alive.

Kicking the ball into the goal he smiled when he made the shot. After retrieving the ball from the net he began to dribble down the long way again. Even though it wasn’t a proper soccer field he still enjoyed dribbling the white and black checkered ball. With every amount of energy he had he had the ball in control. He also wished he had someone to play soccer with. He wished that some of his muggle friends would come over and play with him but they were all busy doing other things like working and going out with their so called love ones. He stopped dribbling the ball for a moment and looked up into the sky. He missed his mother and he knew it and was sad about it. But if it was his father that had been killed he was pretty sure he would change sides in an instant and blame her for his father’s death. But as it was it was his mother that pa*sed away.

Looking back towards the net he pictured an goalie and other players and he had to get pa*s them. ”He goes left. Oh no it looks like he is heading for trouble oh but look at him go he fakes right and is heading straight to the goal. He isn’t even pa*sing the ball to his team mates. His coach is yelling at him to pa*s and he looks around and none of them is open. He has to do this all on his own. The score is tied zero to zero and the game is intense. So far no one was able to score a goal. Both teams has great goalies. He stops the ball and looks at the goalie and gives him his best scary face he has and kicks the ball and-” he said in his best announcer voice. He kicks the ball and in it went. ”My oh my I can’t believe it Potter has scored the first score and only score for his team. The Eagles had won the game! And do you hear that crowd?” he said in the announcer voice again and then making it sound like a crowd was going around while running around with his arms out on either side and flapping them like a bird.

'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

[Harry James Potter]

Harry heard his son in the back yard this was something that he had not heard in a while. He smiled though his son Jameas was the one that was most like him and the one that he was happiest to have home but he would have loved to have Albus and Alex here. He walked outside and looked at James he was happy but he was also somber because Ginny wasn't here.

Harry looked at his son and smiled, he'd played Soccer a bit with him when he was younger. He smiled to James and went out to go see what was going on with the boy. He was sure about what he was going to do next with his life, Harry knew he was going to ask about playing with him.

"Hey James want your old man to play with you?" He asked as he looked at him, he was unsure whether or not if his son wanted him to play. He smiled as he looked at the boy about playing soccer since Harry hadn't ever been really good at this game with James. He waited to see if his son wanted him to play along at this game that the boy liked to play more than he does.

"Anything going on that you need to talk about?" He said as he looked at him and smiled he was sure about these things. For the moment he waited to see what he would do if James said no. So for now he stayed near to the family that he had, so for now he stayed to where he was trying to be able to play a game with his son. He waited to see what was going to happen next if he didn't get to play Soccer.

James stopped the soccer ball when he heard his dad speak to him. "Dad you aren't an old man! You are still standing and walking around like a middle age man." he told his father for a moment. He stood there and looked at his dad and he did realized for the first time he saw that he had his father's hair but he had his mother's eyes as his father's was green while his mother's was brown. "Dad you can play if you like too!" he said with a smile on his face.

He just stood there for a moment. He wondered if he should ask his father about him slapping Albus. And disowning him he wasn't exactly sure why his father would do that to him. He is quite happy though to be his son. He wasn't exactly sure what his father would think if he became a professional soccer player either. He suddenly felt like a five year old kid just standing there looking at his dad. "Dad I feel like I'm a five year old kid just standing here!" he said with a small smile on his face.

"Dad there's something I want to ask you!" he said with a small smile. "Dad did you really hit Albus across the face?" he asked his father for a moment. He wouldn't be upset much but he would be disappointed in his father for doing that. He sure doesn't like hearing it from Alex and he didn't believe him and he also had something else to say. "And I also want to tell you that I may become a spy for the DA but I'm going to have to make it look like I quit the DA. No one else can do it. They won't believe Phoenix, Roxy won't let PJ Zabini to do it. And I don't think Rose would let Ryan to do so. So it's up to me to do it and I'm going to become a spy for the DA." he said with a smile on his face.

[Harry James Potter]

"Yes but I'm older than you by a fair number of years wouldn't you say?" He asked smiling at him at his comment, he had to realize just how much like him James seemed to look. Why had none of them but Lily inherited his green eyes? He shrugged it off, then walked towards his son and heard his comment about playing as well he was smiling to. Harry smiled to him, and nodded "Sure I'd love to play, I'm sure Ginny would appreciate this." He then felt himself begin to tear up at the thought of his deceased wife.

Harry was standing there on the field with his son and then heard his comment, he smiled to him and looked at the son was so like him. He was unsure about what it was but something was going on and he was sure of it and for now he sighed and stood looking at his son. "Really? Your not a five your old kid, though I'm glad you have that sentiment." Harry told him smiling and laughing a bit at the thought of James being five again. That was something that was rather amusing to think of, though Harry was sure that his son was a good kid though he didn't know about his future. "What do you have planned for your future after Hogwarts?" He asked him wondering what he had planned.

"What is it?" Harry asked looking at James curious, when he asked about him hitting Albus Harry gulped. "James I have to say honestly yes I did do that to your brother, but I was angry and I was under some heavy stress from the ministry. I did not like what was going on and well it was not something I would have done normally I was just far to stressed to realize that I was hitting my child. I wish now I could take that back and help my son out, but I know that I can't Albus and now Alex are beyond my help they have followed the path of the dark wizards. I fear that I will have to one day face my twin sons on the opposing sides of a battle." Harry told him his voice choking up about the thought of having to fight and kill Albus and Alex. "Why not Liam Baddock?" Harry asked wondering why the lover of Hugo couldn't help the DA in that regard, he'd rather not have James be at risk like that.

[James Potter]

James looked at his father. "I know you are older than me by years but that doesn't make you an old man!" he said with a small smile on his face. "Besides you don't even look old enough to be called an old man yet. You have to have gray hair and you don't even got a strand of gray hair yet!" he pointed out with a smile on his face. "I'm pretty sure mum would want that too!" he said kicking the ball towards his father.

"This yard has too many memories. Actually so does the Hallways where mum keeps yelling at me to take my soccer outside to the backyard and she always had to get you to get me outside. And I've always wondered how you managed that." he said with a smile on his face. "But I'm pretty sure she's smiling down right now that I'm playing outside instead of inside the house for a change!" he said with a small smile. He would even go outside when it's raining cats and dogs just to kick the soccer ball. He stopped for a moment. "Not really actually." he said with a small smile. "I am currently thinking of becoming a pro baseball player though!" he said with a small smile. He isn't really sure what he wanted to be though. Either it was with the Ministry of Magic or with the muggle community!

James looked at him for a moment. "DAD!" he screamed not meaning too. He was just surprised to hear that. "You aren't suppose to hit a child." he said for a moment. "Albus can be a pain in the butt but he doesn't deserve that. Sure a kid can do something wrong at times that we all don't like. But hitting them isn't the answer. It's a no wonder why Albus and Alex dislikes you so much." he said with a small frown. He then had an idea for a moment.

"Hugo wouldn't like that idea." he said for a moment. "Yes dad Hugo is gay." he said with a small smile on his face. He couldn't believe that his own cousin is gay. "And I think I am the best canidate for it. You actually gave me the reason to do so to. I can pull this off. And I can keep an eye on Dannielle Wood. Espeically since she too lost her mother. I maybe able to get her to join the DA again but I'm not quite sure I can do that but can through out time. But it's the matter of getting her away from Scorpius is the trick. But then again she's in Gryffindor as well. So I can talk to her then." he said with a small smile. "But I have to get her trust first. And I think I can get that trust from her!" he said with a small smile. "Or I can get Shayleigh's brother to talk to her. He's in Gryffindor too!" he said with a small smile.
