I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters used here!

A delightful scene indeed. A young couple at home. The man, who has a ruffled hair, plays with the baby boy. Meanwhile, his wife is in the kitchen.
"What are you doing there, Lil's?", he asks, throwing Harry to the air and catching him back.
"I'm baking some snicker doodles! And stop using your son as a Quaffle!", she shouts back.
James put the baby boy on his knee, and Harry shouts to show that he wants to keep playing. His father kisses his cheek and gives him a Snitch. Distracted with the new toy, he forgets about the old game.
Lily takes the cookies out of the oven and put them on the kitchen table. She feels the strong arms of her husband hugging her, and he kisses her neck.
"They smell great, ginger," he callx her for her special nickname, "just like your hair."
She looks at him, and kisses his lips.
"What is Harry doing?", she asks, and goes to the living room, shouting, "Do not touch this cookies, they're for Sirius and Remus!"
At the minute she leaves the kitchen, he steals one cookie and put it on his mouth. The heat almost makes him split. Lily smirks, with Harry on her lap.
"I told you", she says, making sparkles with her wand to amuse Harry.
He enjoys for a little moment, but then gets bored, and uses his lovely baby talk to ask his mother to go to the floor. Lily releases him, and he crawls to his toys, watched by his parents. They kiss each other, full of love and joy.
If they knew what would happen in less than a year. If they knew that one of his best friends was traitor. If they only knew.
