James and Albus
Harry gathered all of his Gryffindor courage, tried to pretend that he wasn't deeply embarrassed, and knocked firmly on his eldest son's bedroom door. When the necessary acknowledgement had come from within, he entered to find his two eldest children, one lying on the bed, the other reclining in an old Chudley Cannons chair with his feet propped on top of a pile of homework he probably hadn't done, passing a quaffle between themselves. He thanked Merlin for small blessings; he was only going to have to do this once.
Momentarily, he wondered whether he should scold the boys for flouting Ginny's rule about playing sport in the house (it caused too much mess, in her opinion - or at least that was what she had announced after the living room ceiling had collapsed) but then he remembered that she was not having to go through this, and he let them continue as a sort of compensation.
"Ahem. I … I have decided that it is time that I discussed the … erm … facts of life with you boys."
James looked slightly surprised. Albus quirked an eyebrow.
"I, erm … well … You may have started to notice girls …"
"They're a little hard to miss, Dad, what with all that bloody giggling."
"Watch your language, James. Like I was saying, you might have started getting, ahem, feelings …" and with that, Harry Potter launched into the most awkward, ineloquent speech of his life.
Finally, it was over, and he breathed an unsubtle sigh of relief.
"Dad, I'm sixteen."
Harry looked blankly at his younger son, so Albus elaborated.
"You're a little late. We already knew."
"It's okay if you were a slow-starter, Dad," James added comfortingly. "You were busy saving the world, and all that."
"I was not a slow -" the eldest raven-haired man announced indignantly, and then shook his head.
"I can't believe I'm having this conversation with my children," he murmured, wandering out of the room, shoulders hunched in a dejected fashion.
James and Albus barely managed to contain their laughter until the door had swung closed.
A/N: I hope you liked it … please review and let me know if you want me to continue, and feel free to check out the poll on my profile :D
I will write about all of the next generation mentioned by J.K. Rowling, so Lorcan, Lysander, Scorpius and Teddy will all be included, too. Oh, and it won't be in chronological order.
Up next … Lily Potter!
