James Apparated as close to home as he could without letting the others know that he had arrived. He wanted to surprise the family with his arrival, even though Lily knew he was arriving today. He hadn't told her when he was arriving, though, so he hoped he could sneak up to the house without her seeing him. He was struggling to bring his luggage and the giant box of books that he had with him for the kids. He had gone shopping for books on witchcraft like the stuff that the witches from America used. He had about twenty books, and he hoped that he had ones that everyone would enjoy. He had a book on spellcraft, a book on healing, a book on crystal and metal magick and what crystals can do. He had many other books, including ones on protection, ritual magick, candle magick, and clairvoyance to name a few more. He had others on anything he could find, and nearly bought the entire section of books on the subject of witchcraft from a local bookstore.
"Uck," he said, trodding along slowly. "Why did I offer to do this again? Oh, that's right, because I riled everyone up." He thought for a moment while he was walking. "I hope that these books at least have some accurate information in them. Maybe I'll borrow some and show them to the visitors and see if there's anything to them. If not, at least we have some entertaining things to read once in a while to compare to our stuff." He made sure that he was mumbling this quietly enough that no one who passed him by would hear him saying it. He made sure to sneak around the way that no one would think to watch for him, especially Lily.
When he arrived at his home, he pulled everything up to the front door, took a breath, and knocked loud enough to be heard.
