A morning with the Potters
It's morning.
"Lord James, it's time for you to wake up!" Minnie, My maid said.
she's the best, she's always been there for me, taking care of me, since I was a baby.
"You need to meet, Your Fiancé, Lord Regulus, Today." She said, Giggling, I could see the feint blush on her cheeks.
It was still quite hard to believe that I was getting engaged...to someone other than Lily.
To her,
Lily Evans, The girl of My Life, My Dreams. She is my everything. well, was. Since, I'm engaged now. She still will never be able to leave my heart. One night changes nothing.
To me, This engagement is only because, My Parents, mainly, My father wants me to be the heir.
Since my eldest brother, Sheldon is already married but started his own family tree, He was granted a title by the Queen, Mary.
My second brother is too smitten by his mistress and is incapable of handling the responsibilities the position of the Duke has to offer.
Since, I'm the one next in line, My father wants me to inherit the family name as soon as possible.
*Flashback of What Regulus said in the Garden, yesterday, comes back to James head.*
He realises what he had said and done. Quite embarrassed by what he had said. he put both his hands on his face
" Sirius " He remembers, his best friend, He realised he was gonna marry his Best friends younger brother.
soon after, he remembers, " Lily " Ah, His love, his one and only one.
"Young Mast-----"
"Young Master! James!"
Oh? He realises that he was late because he was busy overthinking. Thanks to Minnie's voice, he realised that.
He rushes to the Dining room, finding his 5 other brothers and 6 other sisters, sitting on the Table, all so busy in chitter chattering.
"Your Late, This is quite unusual for you, as your the one who's always excited about breakfast, My dear", Said Eumphonia.
"The Shocking Engagement must've gotten to his head, Ma" said Rodrick, My Second brother.
"Oh! Shush! I've told you not to discuss about that matter with James any further, Only we can discuss about this matter, Me and Your Father. No one else, other than us."
said Eumphonia, in an angry tone but not exactly one.
"James, Come one, Now, Dig in" says Louise, His fourth oldest sister. Younger than him but certainly mature than him, he'd say.
" Sure, I will. " said James.
During ---------------------- Meal
"Brother, Are you not gonna meet your Fiancé, Tonight?"
said Brimsley, His fourth brother, who was a year younger than him.
Suddenly, Everyone at the table has stopped eating. All eyes on him.
James could feel the pressure, even though, he couldn't see it.
" What will his answer be? " I bet that's what their thinking, James thought.
" Yes, I will meet him after all, He's gonna be my bride soon, also, your brother in law, is he not?"
said James, with a Grin on his face.
Everyone suddenly goes back to how they were before. Now, Knowing what he thinks of This.
That day,
James was the first one to finish eating.
