He wasn't sure what exactly had made him do it. It probably had something to do with the dream he had last night: sitting on top of his (flying) Mini Cooper with a Union Jack flag waving next to a flag with the Ministry M on it, waving as he hovers down the main road in Godric's Hollow. It was a good dream. Unbelievable because Lily wouldn't let him charm the car, but still a good dream. Somehow that dream had turned his joking scribble in his son's journal into an action plan.

No excitement. What kind of a birthday was that? Probably the kind that even James Potter had forgotten about until that morning, when he was woken up by an owl nipping at his bare shoulder. Also the kind of birthday in which both Mr. and Mrs. Potter were expected at work, and Mrs. Potter tied up in the afternoon with appointments so Mr. Potter couldn't even have a birthday luncheon with her. Turning 38 was proving to be, well, boring.

It hadn't finally happened, had it? James surely hadn't become an adult.

He looked up at the décor in his office. A color changing broomstick, Hermes-esque shoes that floated around the room at will, a radio tuned in to—yes—BBC Radio for sports highlights, soon to be switched over to sportTALK, and then later WWN once wizarding sports went live for the afternoon. His Hogwarts tie hung on the coat rack, swinging slightly from the passing-by of the Hermes shoes. Nothing to worry about; he was still James Potter. Luckily.

He just wished his birthday wasn't so bloody boring.
