A/N: I'm writing this story simultaneously with There Goes My Life. I'll be posting the chapters alternately, so I'll most probobly be posting every other day or two. Thanks for bearing with me.

James stomped away to his room. Harry watched him go as he crossed his arms across his chest shaking his head a bit. Ginny was watching too. She had managed to get Lily to sleep without crying because she didn't like the dark.

"Weren't you a bit too hard on him?" asked Ginny. Harry didn't reply. Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry's waist and leaned on his back. "Albus was not hurt at all. He's all right. James was just joking around. He is so much like you, though, Harry," she whispered softly close to his ear.

Harry let out a heavy sigh. "That much I know," he said. "That's what I'm afraid of. He'll be off to Hogwarts pretty soon. Without being watched, what will become of him? I bet we're going to send him more than a thousand and one Howlers even before he comes back for the Christmas break," he said, rather disappointed.

"He's just a boy, Harry," reminded Ginny. "We won't know unless he's off to Hogwarts. Even if we do have to send him a lot of Howlers, what makes him different from you? May I remind you that you and Ron flew with that Muggle car in the air and were seen during your second year in Hogwarts. You even bumped into that Whomping Willow that could've killed you. At that time, you were almost expelled. If your mother and father were there to see it, don't you think they'd send you a Howler? Don't forget the time whe-"

"I get it now, Ginny," interrupted Harry. She held Ginny's hands and lowered them. He turned around and gave her a peck on the lips. He caressed her face as he said, "But that year was the best and the worse year of my life, seeing you in the Chamber of Secrets," he whispered. He gazed into Ginny's eyes and began to smile.

Ginny closed her eyes and kissed him. "I bet it was," she whispered back. She opened her eyes again. "But we are talking about James right now. If you've gotten my point, try to go a little easy on him. I know you understand what he feels. Take to account that he has your father's blood mixed with a little this and that of Fred and George's," Ginny said, amused.

Harry sighed and slowly nodded. "Oh all right. I'll talk to him when I've cooled down a bit," he said. He turned and sat on the couch. "Come to think of it, James is nearing eleven, isn't he? He's letter is arriving soon. We'll take him to Diagon Alley and buy him everything he needs. I still remember the time I was there with Hagrid. It was amazing."

Ginny looked at the fireplace. "I should've seen your face," she said. "Harry," she started. Harry looked at her. Ginny's facial expressions seemed to change. She began looking worried. "We haven't told the kids anything about our years in Hogwarts yet. They've asked a million times…" Ginny looked at Harry. "James will know them soon."

Harry nodded. He slightly tugged Ginny's robes motioning her to sit beside him. She did. Harry placed his arm around her. Ginny leaned on his shoulder as the both of them looked into the crackling fire in the fireplace.

"I believe he will soon know about it," whispered Harry. "That's partly what I'm afraid of. James doesn't like to be under anybody's shadow, let alone ours. Let's just hope he doesn't take drastic measures to make a name for himself," he said.

Ginny sighed heavily. "I don't really mind him doing a couple of mischief here and there. We were not so perfect at our years in Hogwarts. I just hope if he finds put, he won't do too much mischief to get him expelled. You know him, Harry. He'd do anything to be better. If you told him before he goes to school and warn him about being a troublemaker…" Ginny's voice trailed off.

"…then that would give him more reasons to make trouble," continued Harry. "Parenting can be hard sometimes, can't it? I remember Teddy asking me about Lupin and Tonks. I couldn't bear tell him the whole story afraid that he might be affected in a way. Unfortunately, same goes for our son."

Ginny nodded. "I guess we made a mistake by hiding everything from him, didn't we?" she said. Harry shrugged. Ginny closed her eyes. "I just hope he understands why we had to do it. At that time, I thought it was best he didn't know anything about the war. I guess I kept thinking of him as a baby that I didn't realize that he was growing up so fast," she explained.

"Me too," agreed Harry. "We can't tell him now. I guess he'll just have to find out on his own what happened back then. I hope James would still be able to enjoy Hogwarts even if he comes to know it. I'd be happy if he finds a way to make a name for himself without getting into too much trouble. Let's not think of the matter and just go to bed, it's past midnight."

But by the time he said it, Ginny had dozed off. Harry smiled. He kissed her cheek. "Good night, Love," he whispered. He let his own thoughts about James gong to Hogwarts linger for a while before he leaned back on the couch to sleep as well.

A/N: Please review. Sorry that this was kind of short. I was writing it at 3 in the morning because I wasn't able to get back to sleep after my brother woke me up…but anyway. The next chapter would be a little longer. Please drop a review, thanks!
