Brown Eyed Little Girl

Author's Note: I thought this challenge would be cute to do with Harry and Lily. It's the Father-Daughter Challenge by LupinTonksLove. Italics are flashbacks. Kind of short, but I hope you still like it (:

Prompt: "Breathe, Dad, Breathe."

Disclaimer: I don't own anything


"Daddy?" Lily walked into her father's office.

"Yes Tiger Lily." Harry smiled at his five year old daughter.

"Can you teach me how to fly a real broom now?" she was holding Albus' old broom.

"Of course sweetie, did you ask Mum first?"

"No, she's gone with Al to Aunt's Hermione's."

"Lily, didn't we talk about this? When it comes to quidditch and broom riding Mum wants to be there because I taught James and Al to ride without Mum knowing."

"Okay Daddy." She turned around started to drag the broom behind her.

"But as soon as Mummy comes home we can go out." Lily turned around and Harry smiled at her.


"Harry, Lily will be home in ten minutes! Is the living room clean?" Ginny was yelling at Harry from the kitchen.

Lily and her husband, Lysander were on their way over for our Sunday dinner.

Moments later a distinctive pop could be heard on the front bridge. "Mum, Dad, we're here!" Lily was yelling as she opened the door. Harry was there to greet them, Lily's eyes lit up when she saw her father. Lily's eyes were the same as her mother's; their brown iris' were the exact same shade.

Ginny came in from around the corner, "Hi sweetie. What's new?" she smiled.

Lysander smiled at Lily as she looked up at him then to her parents. "Well Lysander and I have some news for you so why don't we go into the living room?"

Harry sat in his chair and Ginny on his lap, Lily and Lysander sat on the loveseat. "I'm pregnant." Lily just came right out and said it.

Ginny started squealing and jumped out of Harry's lap to congratulate her daughter and son-in-law. "Harry, dear?" Harry still sat in his chair he started to sweat and get nervous. He just stopped breathing.

"Dad? Are you ok?" Harry was speechless.

"Breathe, Dad, breathe." Harry was now almost blue in the face.

Harry started to breathe heavily. "Yes, I heard you. Congratulations honey." He said as if nothing had happened. "I've got to go get a drink of water."

He got up out of his chair and went into the kitchen, Ginny of course followed. "Harry, what's the matter with you?" she hissed, "We're having a grandchild, shouldn't you be happy?"

Harry looked Ginny straight in the eyes while tears started to form in his, "I'm happy Gin it's just that I thought she'd always be my brown eyed little girl."
