AU Name: James Alexander ‘Jamie’ Carter
AU Birthday: July 31, 2003

AU History: James Alexander Carter, or Jamie for short, was born to a loving couple in Kaisou: his mom, an English high school teacher, struggled with infertility before she and his dad, a pediatrician, got lucky in having him after trying and praying for a child for so long. Realizing that they may not have more kids in the future and acknowledging that there are many displaced children who deserve a loving home, they decided to adopt three more kids, all younger than him, so he wouldn’t feel lonely at home. Having loving parents who look after him and siblings who look up to him showers him in so much love and gives him a stable life. With his mom’s teaching background, he learns to love reading and writing at a young age: he would read almost every book he could get his hands and get lost in various worlds. With his dad’s past as a swimmer, he got into swimming very early in his toddler years, making him feel one with the waters that he wants to swim competitively at school. Reading plenty of newspapers with dad every morning soon gives him an idea to become a journalist himself: he wants to find what lead to many things happening in the world and report on the latest news.

When he was five years old, Jamie was reading old books in the city library during the winter when he feels something weird, the feeling of being drawn to the supernatural rumored to be felt within the city and sensing the presence of spirits lurking within the library. Jamie was a little weirded out by the thought of feeling the presence of spirits and he did try not to think too much about it until he got out of the library and he is shocked to discover that he can tolerate the cold without a coat (he forgot to put it on while running out to the library entrance) to some degree. Then it gets super weirder while he was washing dishes after dinner that he notices the water in the sink moving by the movement of his hands. It scares him for life that he really didn’t want to discuss about his supernatural experiences to anyone publicly. He also excels very well in school: being in the swimming team, getting above average grades (with History and English being his best and Chemistry his worst), writing for the school paper, and being the member of the book club. At the moment, Jamie is a second year college student studying Major in Journalism and Minor in Creative Writing at Kaisou University. In addition, he works hard as the captain of the mens swim team, a news writer for the university’s newspaper, and a part time cafe barista.

AU Personality Differences:

No prophecy = No Chosen One. Jamie is not saddled with Chosen One burdens and the fate of the world is not on his shoulders compared to what Harry had gone through. This allows him to pursue his dreams and hobbies much early on and live life his own way.

Jamie is raised in a loving home and by a family who absolutely loves him dearly unlike the Dursleys. He doesn’t feel like he is useless in the family and truly enjoys the time he spends with them.

Being the eldest of four kids means a lot of responsibilities and Jamie sometimes feels pressured to set an example for his adopted siblings to live by. That means more stress and more headaches for him in this world. Juggling plenty of things in his student life is just another avenue for stress for him.

Unlike Harry happily accepting magic, Jamie thinks having magic is like a curse. When you start to see weird stuff happening and having water magic at an early age, you have a lot to fear of being called a freak for life. He will not try to say much about the supernatural and his experiences with it unless you get to know him more.

He has more confidence in himself due to the support from his family and friends. That allows him to display his ambition to be a journalist more compared to Harry’s unassuming outward persona concealing his ambitions and goals, making Jamie leaning towards Slytherin more than his old self.

He is more hardworking in order to achieve his dreams thanks in part of his parents instilling a drive to work it to earn it in him and his siblings. This is something Harry seems to hide publicly often in canon.

Because of the need to be a good example for his siblings and not having to deal with plenty of terrible people, Jamie is not as snarky as Harry would be. He doesn’t want to risk snarking so much that it would sully his reputation.

Jamie is more social than his old self, due to being raised in a more loving and warm environment and working to get a job that requires him to talk with people to get news.
