   Summary

   James Potter had never been very interesting. His interests were mostly only things like Quidditch and Muggle sports. He was boring. Until one day in their first year of Hogwarts, when James decides to steal one promising book off of Sirius' bookshelf, a collection of Muggle books. Taking one look at the epigraph, James Potter falls in love. Who knew one book could change a little boy's life forever?
