Yes, yes, yes! I'm really waiting for this! Also, how is Jamie going to react to the cat and owl? Blaise is such a naughty kitty!

Well, currently Derek's cat, Blaise, HATES Derke's roommate and teh feeling is mutual.

In september, blaise got sick and puked on the roommates bed, which in retaliation, the roommate threw Derek's paintball helmet out the window.

The owl. I don't know? I do plan on having Blaise and Bronte (the owl) ransack the apartment due to a fight.

Also, where are Jamie's parents from? Are they from the philippines, china, american born?

Do you have a plurk? Mine is beianzhen

You can contact me at

NonnaMari; if you have discord, I'm Mariposa21 #4257.

Well, Jamie's adopted folks are of Filipino and Chinese origins; out of all them, only Ricky's parents (aka Jamie's grandparents) were actually born in the Philippines (legal immigrants to be exact), everyone else were born in the States. Yes they do speak fluent Filipino and Hokkien pretty well for overseas Chinese Filipinos. It's a generational thing.

As for Bronte and Blaise having a hissy fight, let's hope and pray that both of them aren't home when it happens.

Oh, don't worry, Derek is going to walk in on the mess and freak out.

Hmm, I kind of imagine Derek going over to Jamie's house a lot as they grew up, and with the whole filipino "must not let guest leave hungry" thing, I'm sure Derek would have gotten his fill of filipino food.

Was Jamie adopted when he was a baby? I wonder if they would have bonded over the fact that they were both adopted.

Also, Derek has already had a few memories with Harry in them. How would Jamie react if Derek says, "To be honest, one of the guys in my momories... kind of looks like you..."

Yeah, that would be notable. Here's hoping that the land lord/lady doesn't fine them with destructive pets.

Yeah, it is nice to know that Jamie has someone to share these experiences, after all, Filipinos are among the warmest people on the planet. A little warning with Anna's cooking though: she cooks like Jamie handling a Chemistry experiment without Derek's guidance; in short, the family's #1 kitchen rule is "Never let Mom step in to the kitchen and burn the house down". Maybe Derek could pick up some Filipino slang words (weh! or nosebleed (not the literal kind) for example) from Jamie's household.

Oh yes, Jamie's birth parents died early so he doesn't have that much closeness with them when compared to his bonds with his adopted folks and Harry longing for his parents, bonds are thicker than blood in this case.

As for Harry looking like Jamie, it'll be like WHAT!?! Jaws dropping in horror!!!

Yes, have Jamie's family smother Derek with love. Derek is a huge chocolate lover, so he would have embraced champorado.

I can see Derek totally helping Jamie with Chemistry.

Due to Derek's childhood amnesia, he still has a longing desire to know who his birth parents are. With Jamie being a journalist, maybe Jamie would know possible avenue's for Derek to search. I'm still working on how Derek will figure out his family stuff.

Oh yes. Jamie's family are more than happy to welcome any friend of their kids. If there is a party being held at the Lim residence, maybe they will try to make sure that Anna doesn't create a disaster in the kitchen.

Sure thing with Jamie's problem with Chemistry, that's what friends are for. This ties in with Harry being poor in Potions initially in the series. Can you imagine how many times he was this close to burning down the school Chemsitry lab?

Jamie will try his best to find some leads regarding Derek's birth parents' death. Have they left something for him prior to the accident?

Well, Derek knows where they are buried, and his visits their graves, even though they are unmarked.

All he has left of them is a teddy bear, which will be getting ripped open this month thanks to Blaise and Bronte. While he and a couple of his siblings are cleaning up he will find a safety deposit box key, which he will realize was inside his bear. Though it will take him time to actually be able to open the box due to legal stuff.

He has found the newspaper article about the car accident he and his parents were in. He found that in highs school when he got obsessive about it for a while. However, due to his lack of resources he really couldn't further his investigation. This is why he became a CSI, so he could have access to the police report. Jamie would know about Derek's search for his birth parents and would have listened to Derek stress about it in high school and into college.

Man, I can't imagine how horrfying it was for him to endure it. So yeah, they have a lot in their hands to sort this mess out. At least that's one clue down, now they've have to hunt down for that mystery deposit box.

I think I read someone you said Jamie is a bit of a troll. Derek, is such a troll. Derek likes pulling pranks, especially in high school. Would jamie have helped him? This could be one of the many reasons they became friends.

Hehehe, it could be.

I can see it now. It started as small pranks on siblings when they were younger. Then in increase through middle school and high school. But here's the question: Did they ever get caught? Because Derek would try his hardest to not get caught.

Hard to tell, but Jamie's also doing his best not to be a trouble magnet either.

Maybe they got caught once in middle school, then from that point on more meticulously planned their pranks so they wouldn't get caught.

Yeah, that would be pretty cool. ~~Oh God, when in the world has Harry and Draco become more like Fred and George in this other reality?~~

~~No, they are the new marauders.~~
