   Summary

   Returning for his fifth year at Hogwarts, James knew a great deal about himself and the world he lived in. It was foolish to deny that he cared too much about those close to him, was too good at many things, and was too trusting of some people, even if they were his best friends. Allowing himself certain liberties towards others, getting up to endless mischief, and trying to rest as much as possible before joining the Order, James learns more and more that not everyone lives in the same world as he does.
