A hidden life
Prongs aka James Potter
Occupation:Auror
Interests: Quidditch, Marauding, and some other things not even the other Marauders know about.
About me: Everyone thinks they know me, but all they see is the jovial, fun-loving, carefree me. Even the Marauders have never seen my darker side. It's crouching in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to break free of its bonds and spring out into the open to launch its attack... an attack that would be lethal to all... especially me...
Wishlist: A normal life
A spot of mischief "There you are, James! You left your schoolbooks on your father's Cleansweep 7!" James jumped as his mother's voice boomed from nowhere. Hurriedly, he feigned innocence and began whistling at the top of his lungs, pretending that his mother was not standing next to him.
"James!"
The whistling grew louder.
"JAMES!"
James still showed no sign of acknowledging his mother's presence.
"JAMES ADRIAN POTTER!!! STOP IGNORING ME THIS INSTANT BEFORE I ..."
"Okay, okay, sorry!" James finally whirled around. He had been punished by his mother before and it was certainly unpleasant. Nuts, she found them in the end. James cursed and decided he would have to find a better hiding place for his books.
Smiling in a sickeningly sweet way, James walked forward and took the books from his mother. He bowed in an exaggerated manner. "Oh, thank you
so much, dear mother. I would
never have been able to go to school without them. I owe you my life for this
heroic deed that has saved me from a gruesome fate. How can I
ever thank you for..."
Exasperated, James' mother stalked off without another word.
James gave a whoop of joy. He was free to board the train without his mother watching him. Grabbing his belongings, he raced towards the start of a new life far away, without anybody there having the opportunity to unearth his past.

Wow, Prongs. Great post. Though it is not that related to the main story that much, it helps in character development. Do continue posting. I'm eagerly waiting for more!
PRONGSIE~!
I do remember this. I'm glad you posted more, although you could edit it a bit on the language side. For example, it's not 'ok' but 'okay'. 'ok' isn't a proper word. For it to be, it should be 'O.K.' or 'OK'.
Sorry for the nagging. Other than that, YAY for the wonderful second post~! And visit my blog, okay. Free advertising, haha.
