James glanced up in time to see his distant cousin coming towards him and smiled slightly at her as he noticed her trying to catch every bit of breeze she could. As she took the place next to him, he leaned slightly into the chair and chuckled at her words. "So this is Alabama." The man looked into the sky for a moment and then back at her. "The Alabama summer, just wait until winter, it can get cold." The man said to her as he looked back at the waitress. As the woman waved over the waitress, James looked at her. "May I have whatever you're bringing him?" Seeing the roll of the eyes, the country boy lost his smile. "Fetch it, Yankee." The woman still seemed to have no reason to do as she was asked, even though it was what she was paid to do.

"Hey, will you get what she asked for, or do I need to go somewhere else to find better service. You are being ruder then a pissed off rattler." The woman was slightly taken back by his words, but went into the cafe to get what he wanted, or so he hoped. Looking back at his cousin, he gave her a look of apologize. "Sorry, not everyone is as polite as others." The man said before seeing someone else coming towards them.

"I don't know how you do it." The man smiled at his younger cousin and glanced at the waitress as he seemed to ask for the same thing. "I'm going to die of heat stroke by the end of the summer, you know. I might just go live at Salem with this sort of weather." The man laughed and leaned backwards, balancing on the tip of his boots. "I'm use to it, you will get use to it by then." The man said as he watched his cousin suffer in the heat. "Long time no see though." The man nodding in agreement with his cousin.

Finally, the woman left the table and headed into the little wizarding café to get them their food. It was finally it and James sat back and just balanced on the rear legs of the chair. It was so nice to relax with a cousin, even though they were just starting to get use to each other. As he waited the man felt the eyes of the waitress on him from inside the building, but he tried to be rather ignorant to that fact. Don’t pay her any attention and sooner or later, she would leave him alone.

"Yeah James, we might have to talk your parents into coming back to Hogwarts with us, I'm going to melt and summer only began." The man chuckled at his cousin and shook his head. ”You are welcome to try, Wyn… But, Momma and Dad are in Washington most the time now… I’m goin’ there this weekend, want to tag along?” Recently, his father had been re-stationed and they had to make a new portal from one home to Washington State where his father was. It was good to have a muggle father, it was always interesting. As the food came, the sound of his chair hitting the ground again was easily heard and he smiled at the food. ”Looks good. Thank Ya.” The man said, grabbing his sandwich and taking a good size bite out of the food. It was good, as always, and he smiled as he felt his stomach thank him for finally feeding it.

"Well we've got a family reunion on our hands, how are you?" The man looked up at the waitress who seemed to wonder what the hell the Indian was speaking about, but James just smiled lightly. ”Pretty good. Went to Louisiana for a few days. How have you been?” The man asked his cousin as the waitress just moved away and continued to think over what had just been said. Why did people always judge? It was rather annoying and even in the wizarding world, the small-minded people didn’t change. Unfortunately, his grandmother had told him about the time of the muggle civil rights, it even extended to the wizarding community

Though the man had plenty of experience with women trying to get into his jeans, the man had made a promise to himself and his mother he wouldn’t until he was out of school. Call him a momma’s boy, the man didn’t want to let the woman down, especially since his father would make sure he was worked to the core during the summer if he let his mother down. As the man sat their looked at his cousin, he glanced a couple times at the waitress and waited to make sure she didn’t try anything stupid. James grew tired of people who were rude and the man did his best to make sure his friends and family were treated fairly. ”Thanks, James, but I’m actually heading to Paris tomorrow. My friend Maddie invited me to spend some time with her and her boyfriend.” The man smiled lightly at that. ”Well, that sounds nice. Don’t stay too long over there, I think my mom wants to show you around and have you meet all the family once you are settled in. I keep hearing that she is trying to invite all the family over for a pool party.” The man gave her a smile at his words and waited to see her reaction.

Watching as the waitress placed the food in front of his cousin, he glanced up at her for a moment and then back at his own food. “Thanks.” The waitress still kept eye balling him and it was time to make sure she got the message that he was perfectly happy and content with who he was dating. The man had opened the door to have his girlfriend brought into the picture. ”Your girlfriend is from there right?” The man nodded and caught the attention of the woman. ”Yep, met her parents the other night as well as her older brother.” The man smiled thinking about the encounter. It hadn’t been all that bad.

”I’ve been good, getting the house set up. My friend Damian is moving in with me, we’re going to surprise his girlfriend.” Lifting an eyebrow he wondered if some of the crazy stories were true. Of course, he wouldn’t butt into the business, but he had heard about a few things about Maddie and that she had a very open relationship with a select few people. "Sounds like fun, I'm sure Maddie will like it." The man gave her a smile, in fact, the made didn't seemed bothered at all by any form of relationship Wynter might of have or have with them.

The southern gentleman had heard enough rumors, though he wasn't a man to judge and it was something his mother made sure he didn't do. Never would he judge another's soul, it wasn't his place. If there was a God, which James had been raised around and he believed in, it was that Man's place to judge, not his place. "I can’t wait to meet your mother, and I’ll be back whenever you guys want.” James smiled at his cousin and drank some from his glass before looking at her. "Well, there wouldn't be any rush and my mother doesn't consider herself your guardian, though she probably would give you plenty of advice like a mother." James chuckled at the thought since he knew his mother was always trying to give advice to everyone she met... It was one of her gifts.

"Your mom sounds nice; would she be okay if I wanted to bring Damian and Maddie along?” The man smiled and gave a simple nod towards her. "Mom wouldn't mind at all, she doesn't judge anyone, in fact, she would probably cook them breakfast, lunch, and dinner." The man smiled lightly at the thought and kinda felt his stomach rumble even though he was eating. As they both ate, he looked around and then at her as she spoke. "How did that go over?” The man smiled lightly and sat back. "Pretty good... Her brothers a bit of a hard ass, but I think that is given... Protective of his sister, I would be the same with my sister." The man said as he sat back slightly in his chair and put his sandwich down so he could get another drink.

“They probably loved you; you’re like a parent’s wet dream.” The man laughed a bit louder that time and he looked at her. "They seemed to like me, but I am waiting to hear from Charley to tell me what they said about me after I left... Kinda nervous about that."

“She’ll probably smack us both when she finds out.” The man smiled and shrugged. "Maybe, or she may jump all over you." The future held more thing and they would never know until it happened. “But I think she’ll be really happy. It’ll be nice to have my two best friends at Salem with me.” The man smiled at her and nodded. "Sounds like you guys are settling in great together."

The young, southern gentleman tried to see the very best in everyone he met and got to know, especially his family. Even though Wynter was down the line in the family, she was his cousin and the man would treat her like such. They were family and it didn't matter how shallow the blood relation was, family was family. As they ate, held a good conversation, the two seemed to have known each for years, yet they had only just met. "Warn me now, James, will your parents have problems if I show up with a girlfriend?” The man smiled, wiping his face with a napkin and stretch his paw slightly as he used his tongue to pull some food from his teeth that had gotten left behind. "Wyn, my mother has a cousin... Her name is Kym and she is older then my mother... When I mean older, I mean like fifteen years older then my mother... Kym is really awesome and she is a Lesbian... My mother does not judge anyone... The woman would probably hug both of you, welcome you both to the family and cook a huge dinner and make sure your girlfriend had a place at the table." James said to her with a smile. "Mom always says it ain't her place to judge, that is up to the good Lord upstairs." The man said as he looked at the last bite of his food and tossed it in his mouth and washed it down with some of his drink.

“He’s probably just being a good big brother, making sure that you’re good enough for her.” The man nodded in agreement with her on that. Knowing that he would do the same thing to his sister's first boyfriends... "You know, I don’t think I’ve met your siblings yet. Is it just the one sister?” The man shook his head. "I got a little brother too." The man said to her as they sat there and he enjoyed the conversation.

As she laughed and ruffled what little hair he had, the man pushed himself backwards, but smiled and laughed at her. "Something like, oh that James is such a nice guy! That James is so good for you, Charlotte!” The man laughed at her attempt to make a southern voice and it came out with her true accent. "Don't worry, Wyn... Stay with us long enough, that southern twang will come to ya." Giving her a wink, the man chuckled lightly as he leaned slightly on the outside table.

"Maybe, but pretty soon, Damian and Maddie are going to want to try monogamy and I’ve got to try to figure out what to do with that.” The man smiled and looked at her. "You'll be fine."
