Interesting. Love to see a chapter from Harry and Ginny's POV now that James is gone and married or to see one from Albus (if he realizes what a brat he was to Rose and James).

Really not sure where you ate taking this, and it sounds like you aren't either.

this is really interesting!

This is believable, I can see James feeling this way. I look forward to the next chapter.

this is fantastic! i always felt that the epilogue made it seem like harry and ginny favored albus over james so i love it when other people pick up on that too. i'm really curious about the events that lead to harry not knowing chase and james not being in contact with his family!

Interesting. I completely agree with your take on CC and James SP. Harry seems consumed with Albus, even if it is negative at times, and work and I always wondered how Lily and James would feel about that. I've seen that dynamic before, where the troubled kid gets all the attention and the non troubled kids start to resent it badly for good reason.

Interesting. In Cursed Child Harry seems to spend an inordinate time worrying about Albus, even if it is negative. Sometimes the "problem" child sucks up all the attention and the other children are left at the wayside. I always thought James and Lily would probably have some resentment

So what caused the animosity between James and his family?

Oh, I hope you’ll continue this? James is my fave too and I admit that I’m a bit disappointed at how he’s treated in canon (and in the fandom too). If there’s any one of Harry’s children that should have pressure on his shoulders it’s his oldest child, and just because James knows how to deal with it better doesn’t make it any less true.

Anyway, really great story, and I would love to see some more! Chase obviously knows how he’s related to Harry and now Harry knows too... will Chase tell James that they ran into Harry? How long has it been since they had any contact with James? And what happens when they meet again...?

I like it :) are you planning to continue this?

You should continue this. Just WHO is Chase POTTER and his mom, especially since Harry seemed to NOT recognize the lady when they were face to face. How old is Chase? Older than his eldest kid or younger? Though if hes younger, then WHEN and WHERE did Harry get together with her in order to make Chases mom pregnant?
