James Potter was not some great man. He was a pathetic little bully who could only feel good about himself if he got everything he wanted and put down someone who could not properly defend himself three on one.

Thank you for review but I do disagree with your statement.
This is my interpretation of how Xander would've seen James. Despite his actions during his time at Hogwarts, James did turn himself around. We don't even know a lot about James and his actions after Hogwarts so, we really don't know what he might've done. The same could be said about Severus Snape, his actions during Hogwarts were shallow and selfish and even his actions to help Harry were shallow because of his love for Lily. Snape was also a bully to Harry while Harry was at Hogwarts because of his jealous nature.
If you decide to create a 'verse of some sort from these ficlets of yours, you do realize that I'll do a happy dance, right? Right. Good.
I do believe you just implied that Xander was related to James somehow. Whether you meant as a son that was put up for adoption for some reason or just as a relative that the others didn't know about, that was the impression I got. Unless it's just supposed to be coincidence. But either way, I really liked this and the way you have each character knowing about the other's world and that moment at the end where Xander saw the Malfoys and wanted Anya just made me go "Awww."

Hmmm, maybe? ;)
Well honestly, it was just a coincidence type thing, but now you have me thinking. I did the Anya thing just for you :)

Brief, but well constructed and tied off. I like how you were able to keep the story contained within one well written scene. Good job.

Thanks, I knew that if I didn't at least try and get it all in one scene it would've made no sense. I'm glad I was able to do it, thanks for reading! :)
