where it all starts [kelsey and james]

[padfoot]

there's something that i can't quite explain,
i'm so in love with you...

This was going to be the start to their new lives. This was really it. James felt good about today, he and Kelsey were going looking for their first home together as a married couple. Their first home as a couple period. And now he knew he had a way to financially support the household they were about to create. Boy did he have a surprise for her when she met up with him! Or perhaps he would wait a little while to tell her? Either way, she would be just as excited as he was. Or at least, he hoped. He had told her that he was going to his parents house for a little while in the morning hours of the day, so she would not worry about him not being around early because since she returned at school the two of them were making it a point to spend more time with one another. That technically meant he lied to her today, but she would not be so mad about that when he told her just where he had actually been. He assumed she would probably be quite pleased come to think of it. After all, all their plans would work out when the school year was over now.

James decided he would tell her everything when they were walking down the street, hand in hand, deciding on which places to look at first. They had picked a bunch of apartments and flats out of the papers, both muggle and wizarding. But he now was able to tell her they could afford something even better! Which would be an amazing feeling, knowing right out of school he would be making enough money for the two of them to live in a decent sized house if they wanted. He was going to be able to give her everything she had dreamed about recently. Well, as far as the peaceful home life setting she kept imagining that is. He swore if there was anything, ever again, that he could give to her, she would have it. He did not want something like what happened before to happen again, and if something were to happen to either one of them again, he wanted to know he had done all he could possibly do to keep her happy and safe.

The whole thing had put a lot of stress on the newly formed marriage in the past few months. But now things were going good, they were eating dinner together, and seeing each other all the time during the day. She was well now, a lot better than before. He could not wait until they would have a little bit of fun in the bedroom... or classroom, again. After all, it had been a while and James knew he could wait because it was for her, but that did not mean he had to enjoy it. For their first night in their new home, he was already making plans. But the problem was, right now, he had no idea what he had to work with. After all they had not even settled on a place yet! Hell, he was not even with her yet! So when she finally showed up in the Great Hall the couple walked out to Hogsmeade together, and from there James aparated them to London.

Finally the two of them were walking down the street to start looking for the first place on their list. James wondered if they should have gotten someone who knew what they were doing to come with them, but he figured that an adventure was an adventure and the two of them could use some non-stressful excitment. Not that choosing your first place was not stressful, but a lot less than anything the couple had been through recently. And that was exactly what they needed. Something remotely normal going on in their life. He took her hand as they walked down the street together, just as he had been hoping to do. Then he stopped, right in his tracks, his hand holding hers firmly so she had no choice but to stop as well. He got in front of her and he kissed her right in the middle of the sidewalk in London. "I love you." he said with a handsome smile on his face the entire time. He just stared at her for a minute and got next to her and said, "Common," and started walking again.

"So, I have something to talk to you about..." he said, but it was not a nervous sound like it would have normally been when I guy said that to his wife. He was not nervous to talk to her at all, he thought what he was about to tell her was an extremely good thing, and he could not wait to tell her the news.

[Kelsey Rachel LeBlanc]

The past month had been a living hell for Kelsey. She had been through something that no girl in their entire life should have to deal with. She was raped, multiple times, and was used as a sex slave. All of this had been done by none other than Jack Riddle. She felt so used and violated. She thought that she would never escape that bloody vault. However, her father came to rescue her. She never felt so much love for him as she did when she saw that he had came for her. Together they left that vault and Kelsey's nightmare.

After a few days of recuperation, Kelsey was back at school. She knew people were talking about her and saying things but she didn't care. She was just happy to be alive. Kelsey walked the halls, avoiding gazes from everyone. She was rather jumpy, having been taken against her will and scared it would happen again. If someone would even look at her suspiciously, Kelsey would draw her wand and run away. The poor girl was on her nerves and hated it. Of course you too would be on your nerves if you were raped daily for a month. She had even missed her birthday because she was kidnapped.

Kelsey wanted to be on her own so badly but couldn't be. Her father was constantly two feet away from her. He was even more scared that something would happen to her again. Then there was James. He would not leave her side unless forced. She loved that everyone was looking out for her but she also needed her space. She was scared to be alone though. The last time she was alone in the castle was when she was kidnapped. She just wished that she could forget all of this and move on with her life.

Now that a week or so passed by Kelsey was starting to get better. She really just wanted everything to go back to the way it was before. James had been really supportive and always provided a shoulder for her to cry on. It was tough though. Somehow word had got out about her being raped and everyone was gossiping about her and giving her sympathetic looks wherever she went. It was beginning to become maddening for her. Kelsey kept that brave smile on her face though and held her head up high. She knew she would be better in time, if only she would stop having dreams about the event.

Kelsey was surprised that with everything that had happened to her since the beginning of March, she had not resorted to going back to alcohol. She had not let a drop of the amazing drink past her lips since that day at her house with her father and mother. Now, more than ever before, she found herself craving a drink. Whenever she would wake up in a cold sweat from her nightmares she would reach under her bed for the tall bottle of vodka that she hid there, only to remember that she had threw it out. She would sometimes find herself daydreaming about having a drink during class. However, despite the temptations, Kelsey had stayed sober for two months and was proud.

Kelsey had gotten up the courage one day to ask her father if she could move in with James and go apartment hunting one day. After a lot of deliberation, her father had finally gave in and allowed her to do so. Kelsey was so excited. She wanted nothing more than to begin her life with James. Kelsey could feel the excitement rush through her body as she greeted James in the Great Hall and they set off on their adventure. Kelsey had a smile of glee on her face as the two of them walked hand in hand down the busy streets of London. This was everything Kelsey pictured this day to be. Here she was with her husband, setting out to buy their first apartment. Sure, Kelsey's dream was to have a nice little house near her Surrey home but all they could afford at the moment was an apartment. Kelsey's thoughts were interrupted as James surprised her by stopping dead in his tracks and placing a kiss on her lips, right in the middle of the busy street. Kelsey felt her whole body tingle with joy as they broke the kiss and he told her he loved her.

"I love you too, James," Kelsey said with a small, shy smile on her face as she looked at James with her wide hazel eyes. This man had a way of making her feel so special that it was still amazing to her every time he said those three words. As they began to walk again Kelsey felt her heart stop when he said he wanted to talk about something. In her life's experience, there was never anything good that came after saying that phrase. Kelsey tried to relax herself but failed.

"Sure love. What do you want to talk about?" Kelsey asked, her voice slightly worried. James seemed really calm about everything so maybe it wasn't going to be all that bad. Kelsey just hoped that it wasn't. She really wouldn't be able to handle anymore bad news in her life at the moment. Things were finally starting to go good for her. She really didn't feel like having them messed up again.

there's something that i can't quite explain,
i'm so in love with you...

Kelsey seemed pretty happy with the kiss he had randomly planted on her. He was pretty sure she would be even happier if they were in a hotel or their soon to be apartment having sex, because he knew that just like himself she couldn't wait much longer either. The two of them were like addicts, and neither one had had their fix for quite a while. Not that he blamed her or even himself any more. When she had first been rescued he felt like it was partially his fault in the first place, but now he knew he had been stupid to think that. In no way shape or form had it been his fault he just wanted someone to blame other than Jack because he knew he would not be able to do anything about the fact if it was Jack. He still wanted to rip the man limb from limb and let him bleed until his heart stopped. But he knew that Kelsey would never forgive him if he was in Azkaban for the rest of his life, even if it was to kill her rapist.

Doing his best to not think about that anymore, James heard her nervous sounding voice shake a little when he had said he had something to talk to her about. And he smiled. Which he was sure was the exact opposite reaction that she had been expecting. She probably assumed there was something wrong and that was what he had to talk about. Now, he could tell her right now that he got a job for after graduation, but he wanted to drag it out a little. After all, what fun was it to tell her if he could not toy with her a little in the process? He did not look at her right away, he just kept walking down the street thinking about how he should phrase the next few sentences. He was not going to let her think there was anything seriously wrong happening but he did not want to come right out with, i've got a job! Because that just wasn't his style at all.

"Well, you know I said I was at my parents house this morning but I wasn't..." he stopped there, trailing off as though in thought again. The smile never faded from his face though and if you looked at him you could clearly see that he was enjoying himself. It was fun to draw out that sort of thing and just make her wonder. Especially when he was about to tell her something that would probably make her day just like it had with his. He swung their hands back and forth as they walked down the streets, he looked up and down all the buildings looking for one of the apartment buildings he still wanted to look at. He figured they might as well check out all their options even if they would be making enough for a house to start out with! Oh how he could not wait to finish that sentence for her, but he had to let her think for a few minutes longer.

But then he could not wait any longer. He did not want her to seriously worry anyway, and he knew she probably would even though the excited smile on his face obviously showed that nothing was wrong. "Hon, I did not tell you where I was going because it was an interview and try out for the Tutshill Tornado's this afternoon." and he said nothing passed this, he just had the biggest and happiest grin he had worn since they had run away to get married. Which was a pretty happy look he had to assume. Because this was a big deal, he had always dreamed this would happen right when he got out of school, but for heaven's sake he was not even graduated yet and was signed on for the next pro season! This had to be the best feeling he could have right now, knowing he would be able to provide for himself and his wife. They had plenty enough money to make it the summer before she left and his season would start about a month after she left.

"Let's just say we can move into that house you've been dreaming of recently if you wanted." he said keeping the smile on his face, looking at her while they walked and he held her hand a little tighter. This was just making his day, could it get any better? He supposed probably not.

[Kelsey Rachel LeBlanc]

If there was one thing Kelsey missed most in the world right now was sex with James. Her whole body craved to be with him again. Her stupid doctors had ordered her not to be having any sex for a few weeks, though she really wasn't feeling like it at the time. She needed the time to heal in her vaginal area so that the scaring and trauma would get better. However, as the days went on and on, and things began to get better, Kelsey found herself craving more and more for hot steamy sex with James. She knew that James too was craving for it. She could see it in his eyes. He wanted her, almost as bad as she wanted him. He was a man and all men are hornballs.

Kelsey could feel her heart beating faster and faster as she waited for James to give her an answer. She fiddled nervously with her wedding ring on her ring finger, trying to keep herself from going insane waiting. Then he started to speak and Kelsey could feel her heart begin to pump faster than ever before. She was so nervous at that moment that she could faint. he then said he wasn't at his parent's house. Where could he have been? Kelsey had to take deep breaths to try and calm herself from going insane.

"Well where were you then?!" Kelsey asked, looking at him with a concerned face. That smile that was on his face was making her very confused. He seemed to be happy about whatever was happening, but what was it? As they continued to walk in silence Kelsey began to feel herself go slightly insane. This was a cruel form of punishment. "Oh come on, you bloke! Just come out and tell me already! This is driving me insane!" Kelsey exclaimed, her impatience showing. Kelsey was a very impatient person, just like her father. She hated to wait for anything for an extended amount of time. Kelsey was just about to scream before James started to speak again. Kelsey felt her heart totally stop as he spoke. A huge smile appeared on her face. She stopped walking to look at James with a completely stunned and happy look on her face.

"Oh my Merlin! Did you get the job?! Please tell me you got the job!" Kelsey said with a huge smile on her face. She could feel the anticipation growing inside of her as she waited for him to answer. Then, her smile got ten times bigger and actual tears came to her eyes as James told her that he got the job. She immediately took him into a hug and placed a huge, passionate kiss on his lips. He did it, he really did it.

"I can't believe it! This is amazing! I am so happy for you! We.. We can actually get a house! A quiet little house in the country. I am so happy! I love you! I can't believe that I, Kelsey LeBlanc Potter, am married to a quidditch player! This is so cool!" Kelsey said with tears in her eyes and her voice more than excited. She leaned in and placed another kiss on his lips, showing just how happy she was for him. This called for a celebration. She knew a certain lucky boy who would be getting amazing sex tonight.

there's something that i can't quite explain,
i'm so in love with you...

Watching her be so frustrated about him making her wait to find out what he was doing was honestly kind of fun for James... In a twisted loving sort of way. She should know he would not be smiling if he had done something wrong, but of course her brain would jump to the worst knowing her fathers relationships in the past. But still, would he be smiling if he had gone off and done something stupid? No. When he finally told her she went insane trying to get the answer out of him. Had he got the job? She was literally seeming to be more excited than he had been all day. When he had gone down there to meet the rest of the team and have his try out and such he had been more nervous than he had been in his life. With the exception of his wedding and perhaps the first time seeing his father-in-law after the wedding. But he had been pretty damn nervous and that had been the longest couple hours of his life.

James had gotten up early that day and took a shorter run than normal, and made sure he was dressed in his Quidditch robes, his knee brace was on and he looked nothing but ready for a Quidditch match when he left Hogwarts grounds that morning. Now that he could not wait any more he made certain she knew that he got the job. And that she could get to live in whatever house she wanted when the school year was over. After all, he was a signed professional Quidditch player now, and he could afford it! Even if the season for him did not start until late fall he still knew that he would be able to support her the way a husband should support his wife. And who would think that he would have all this right out of school? Who would think that he would be married while he was in school? At the beginning of this school year, even he would not have guessed he would be where he was now.

For some reason James had never seemed like 'husband' material. Perhaps it had something to do with the way he used to be a bit of a womanizer. He used to flirt up a storm with everyone and fool around with everyone. He had not discriminated about house at all and age was not too much of a concern. When he was younger he was generally with older girls and when he was older he was generally with younger girls. But then there was Kelsey. Who in the back of his head, he had always wanted. And he knew that. And when he was finally drunk enough to act on it they both could not believe they did not remember it the next morning. But now here they were, married, been through hell and back already once and he knew there was more to come. But if he could at least give her one good thing in her life he was going to.

James smiled as she jumped into his arms and started to kiss him. It was a long passionate kiss and it was probably one of the most meaningful ones since their wedding. Or perhaps since the day he first saw her again after the whole kidnapping ordeal. Either way he knew that he had not been so happy and smiled all the way through a kiss in a long time. It felt so good to know that she was there for him and she was probably more excited than he was. After all she was only sitting there saying 'oh my god I'm married to a Quidditch player!' And actually, James had not even thought of that yet. He was actually going to be doing what he loved for a living. And right out of school and on top of that it would already be serving the purpose he knew it was meant to. He had a feeling that without being married he would not have gotten so lucky.

"So do we want to give up on apartments and go right to the country to look at houses?" he said through a smile before planting another long kiss on her before she could even breathe long enough to answer his question. He was already looking forward to every night the couple would spend in there together. Oh what fun the two of them would have owning their own home. After all, that was something that was all theirs, no one else's. That meant that neither one of their parents could control anything that happens there. They could not tell them not to be drinking or to not be having sex or in James case smoking. Anything, they were really open to anything. "I think we can have it all fixed up and ready for us to just move ourselves and our trunks in there after I graduate. Don't you? he asked her with excitment still written on his face and he hoped she was on the same page. But with the look on her face, he was pretty sure she was.

[Kelsey Rachel LeBlanc]

Kelsey couldn't believe this. She was so happy for James. He was finally achieving his goal to be a Quidditch player. He was going to be living his dream and Kelsey was ecstatic for him. She was probably more excited for him than what he was for himself. Kelsey was happy because now she could see that her bad luck was finally turning around. Maybe the whole being kidnapped thing was the worst thing that would happen to her. Now it was her time to have a good and peaceful life from now on. Well, for now at least. She knew there were going to be more troubling times in her furture. After all, she was still a horcrux. She still had that battle to overcome in the future. She had been taking the necessary precautions to prevent the horcrux from taking over her but maybe it wouldn't be enough.

The kiss that James and Kelsey shared was one that could not be defined in words. It was epic in its intensity. This kiss made her legs go weak and her whole body tingle. She still couldn't believe it that they were beginning their lives together by doing his major step. They now had an income coming in and were on their way to buy a house. Kelsey felt so grown up and mature, even though she was the furthest thing from mature. All this good fortune was telling her that maybe her life wasn't so screwed up. She had a loving husband at the age of seventeen. Most women have to wait until their thirties or late twenties before they find their one true love and here was Kelsey who already found hers. She was lucky to have James and knew that getting married wasn't a mistake. It was probably the best thing that has ever happened to her.

Kelsey was about to answer James' questions when she was suddenly taken into a very loving and heart warming kiss yet again. this kiss mad her feel so happy again. She couldn't wait to move in with James. The fun they would have would be amazing. Think of the killer parties they could have! Kelsey knew that those parties would be legendary. She really couldn't wait for the summer now. "I really want a house. There is a nice little cozy house just like ten minutes from my house that is for sale. I don't want to be too far away from home. I kind of promised my father that we wouldn't get a place too far away from home. You know how protective he is, especially from everything that has happened. Plus it would be easier to move my stuff since I want it to be done as quickly as possible," Kelsey said with a smirk, leaning in and stealing a quick kiss yet again. She broke the kiss and smiled at him, showing all of her excitement. She was so over joyed that words could not being to express her feelings. It was the happiest she had been in a really long time and it was all thanks to James.

there's something that i can't quite explain,
i'm so in love with you...

It was funny how happy she was for him, it was almost more than he felt himself. Even though the smile would not fade from his face for days, he knew that for a fact. This was honestly the second biggest event in his life so far and it was the one that would determine the rest of his life. So long as he did not do anything stupid and get himself hurt and kept out of playing then he had nothing to worry about. Right? After all, what would stand in the way of a Quidditch Career other than injury? And now since he was not Captain yet being the newest and youngest member of the team, he would not be doing training the same way. Right now he uses himself as target practice for the beaters regularly, which was definitely not so good for his body. And yet he was still in amazing shape for all the beatings he takes during practices, and all the drinking and smoking he does.

Taking his mind off of what could possibly ruin the day they were having he looked back at his wife. She was still holding on to him and it felt like the two of them would never part again. Which he would have no problem with to be completely honest. He kissed her forehead gently and he held her closer to his body and he never wanted to let go. But then she looked up at him and started talking and being the good husband he was he made sure to listen to the every word she said. Because he knew it would all be important, which even though it took him a long time and a lot of ex-girlfriends to realize this at least he finally had figured it out just about the time he got together with Kelsey. She told him about a house that was about ten minutes from the house she lived in with her parents now, and he did not say anything but that did not sound completely ideal for him right now.

After all, wasn't half the point of moving out to be as far away from your parents as you could be? To get a little freedom for once? Maybe it was because of everything that had happened recently that she did not want to be too far away from home, but he would prefer to not be quite that close to his father-in-law. After all he was pretty sure that even now he still did not like him so much. Even if he respected him a little more now for who knows what reason. The two could be civil but that did not mean in anyway that Robert LeBlanc and James Potter got along now. That would be the day, when the two of them agreed on anything that had to do with something other than Kelsey and perhaps what drink they want. For some reason even though James was Head Boy he had never liked him, even before Kelsey and him got together. But of course after that there was even more hatred towards James.

"Honey, are you sure you want to be that close to your house?" James asked curiously. "I could move your stuff perfectly fine no matter where we chose. There could be lot's of houses around the area that are not ten minutes away..." he said with a smirk on his face trying to show her that he would do it if it would make her happy but he really did not want to be that close to her father. It was just a safety precaution for himself, Robert did not like him and he wanted to continue living long enough to make it to his first professional Quidditch season and if Robert did not like something he did or said he might not make it that far. Not that he was really that scared of his father-in-law anymore he just did not want any more bull shit to deal with.


Well, he felt defeated now he knew how much Kelsey wanted to check out that home near her own and he did somewhat understand it. When you have not ever really lived too far away from home (other than school in their case) then it was understandable to not want to give up what you know and love so well. "Why don't we just go take a look at it baby? Then we can look a couple other places and decide on what's best for us okay? We can't know if that is the right one without looking at others still too, right?" he asked her in hopes that he would at least get to look at a couple other homes, when in the end he had a feeling it would be the one she wanted now that they bought.

[Kelsey Rachel LeBlanc]

Never had Kelsey felt so protected than when she was in James' strong embrace. His hug and loving body were all she needed to get through the day. Even when she was miserable and ready to die, all James needed to do was hold her and hug her and tell her everything was alright. He was the only person who could cheer her up when everything was going wrong. Kelsey loved him with all of her heart. Never was there a love stronger than this before. They could be the model couple if they wanted to. Kelsey felt her whole body tingle as he placed a kiss on her forehead. Those lips were the sweetest things of life. She could stay there in his arms forever if she had the choice to.

A part of Kelsey wanted to move as far away as possible from her parents. She wanted to be on her own and more independent. She wanted to be able to go around her house naked without worrying about her parents coming to the front door at any moment. She wanted to be able to sleep at night without worrying that James and her father were just a mere killing distance away from each other. However, there was a separate part of Kelsey that feared to be away from her parents for too long. She was scared that maybe something terrible would happen and her father would be too far away to save her. However, she needed to take the chance. It was time that she lived on her own for once.

"Well I don't think it is such a smart idea anymore. I mean, I was scared of being so far away from home but I realized that it would mean having you and my father as far away from each other as possible, which is a good thing. Lets just find a place that we like and that is close to everything," Kelsey said with a smile and a light giggle. She then began to brainstorm on possible housing options. It needed to be in the perfect location so that she could get their easily. Then, Kelsey got an idea. Why hadn't she thought of it earlier. It would be the perfect location for a starter house at the moment and they could move once the year was over.

"How about we forget all about that house. It was too small anyways, like a broom cupboard. Lets look at houses in Hogsmeade! That way you won't be too far from your job, and during the school year you will just be a walking distance from me. I can just like go home every weekend since it is right there in the village. You could come visit me too and we won't have to be apart!" Kelsey said with a huge smile, finding that her plan was fool proof. She was amazed that she could come up with such an amazing plan all on her own. Why hadn't she thought of this sooner? Kelsey mentally slapped herself. There must be some houses for sale in Hogsmeade. The houses there were huge also! It would be an amazing starter home, and quiet too.
