"Mom! We're going to be late!"
Harry watched from his floor as his mother finished tying his sister's pretty red hair into a bun. The girl was seven and already a dancer. She was a natural at spinning and she could jump really high.
Harry could watch her dance for hours.
His sister was quite famous in the wizarding world for her ability to capture a room's attention. People from all around would come to see her perform. She was an icon of light for both the wizard world and muggle world.
The muggle world saw her as an amazing force. She gave children hope that them too can be amazing at such a young age. The wizarding world saw her as the Potter's daughter. A light family completely devoted to Dumbledore. Plus she was beloved in the muggle world and that gave hope of a possible alliance.
"No we're not Abby, now calm down before I mess up your hair." Lily scolded softly.
Abby huffed and crossed her arms.
"Mama! Mama! Do my hair!" Harry giggled. The three year old slowly stood and ran to his mommy. He pulled at her dress causing her to mess up Abby's hair.
"Ow!" Abby screamed glaring at her brother.
Harry whimpered at the glare, "s-sorry," he whispered.
"Harry, I can't deal with you right now. Go play by yourself." Lily said.
"B-but," Harry's bottom lip started to quiver.
"Harry!" she yelled.
Harry whimpered. He didn't like it when his mommy yelled at him. He ran back to where he was sitting before and watched Lily finish Abby's hair and apparated away.
Harry waited a bit wondering what to do. This was not the first time he was left alone at home. He would just wait for his dad and brother to come home. In the meantime he was hungry.
Harry made his way to the kitchen and looked around for something to eat. He pouted when he realized he couldn't reach anything.
Harry perked up when he heard the door open.
"Daddy?"
James looked furious but Harry didn't notice. The three year old just bounded up to his daddy and smiled.
"I can not believe the nerve of those muggles. You were so much better than they were." James fumed.
Harry's brother sighed, "no dad. It was my fault. I should have practiced more."
"Nonsense Matt. You will just do better next time."
Matt was five and he was the Potter family heir. He was also a child actor for the muggle world.
"Daddy! I'm hungry!" Harry said tugging on his James' pants.
James ignored his youngest. "I'm going to give those muggles a call. They will hopeful give you a second audition."
"Okay daddy. I'll go practice some more."
Harry pouted as he watched his daddy walk away. The boy returned to the kitchen. He would just have to make something himself.
He pushed the nearest chair against the counter where he knew the bowls were. He steadied himself before opening the cabinet. He carefully took one of the bowls out and held it in his hands. He then crouched low so he could climb down but slipped. He tumbled to the ground with a huge crash. The bowl in his hands shattered into a million peices that dug into his skin.
Harry started crying.
James rushed in angrily. He had been on a very important phone call when a loud crash distracted him.
"Harry! What are you doing!" James yelled. He stopped when he saw his child bleeding and sobbing on the ground. He slowly made his way towards the boy careful not to step on the broken bowl. He noticed the chair pushed up against the counter and figured out what had happened.
He lifted the boy onto his hip and carried him to safety before magically piecing the bowl back together and putting it on the counter.
"Shhh, baby, calm down." James whispered, gently bouncing the boy. When that didn't work he sat the child on the counter and magically healed his wounds.
"I'm sorry," Harry cried.
"It's okay, what happened?"
"I-I was hungry so I was just going to get some cereal." Harry hiccuped as he slowly calmed down.
James felt a pang of guilt shoot through his heart. He had waved Harry off earlier. He lifted the boy off of the counter and looked him over.
"Sorry baby. How about I make you something yummy? How does pasta sound?"
Harry nodded excitedly. He bounced a little and giggled. James smiled and put a boiling pot of water on. "why didn't you ask your mother to make you something?"
Harry suddenly looked sad. "she was angry with me and she left."
James paused. "she left? You mean she left you alone in the house?" he asked in disbelief.
Harry bit his lip, "she had to take Abby to her dance thingy."
James growled, "she should have taken you with her."
Harry frowned, he didn't like it when daddy and mommy said bad things about each other.
Once James finished cooking he scooped some pasta into a bowl and sat Harry down on a chair before handing him a spoon.
"Is this good?" James asked after pouring the rest into another two bowls. He called Matt's name.
Matt ran into the kitchen in his muggle Spiderman pajamas and started eating with the other two. Harry nodded and grinned as he shoveled more into his mouth.
"I'm going to have a talk with your mother." James decided once he finished. He washed all three of the dishes and put them away neatly. "Let's get you boys to bed. It's getting late. Pick a book for me to read you Matt."
The five year old nodded. James picked Harry up and followed Matt to his room where he read them the bedtime story Matt held out to him. James smiled as Matt's eyelids fell shut. He kissed the brunet's forehead and tucked him in. He lifted Harry into his arms and gently rocked the sleeping boy so he would not wake up. He switched off the lights in Matt's room before making his way to Harry's.
The front door slammed open startling James and causing him to wake his youngest. Harry began crying from the rude awakening.
James growled and rocked Harry slowly. He glared at Lily as she and Abby made their way into the house. Abby was glowing, she had a cute plastic tiara on her head.
"Daddy! I won!" the girl giggled pointing out her crown.
"That's wonderful baby." James smiled at her, "did you eat yet?"
Abby nodded, "yeah! We had extra cheesy and yummy pizza!"
"I'm jealous! Go shower and change and I'll tuck you in later, okay princess?"
James waited until the girl had disappeared before he returned to glaring at his wife.
"What is your problem?" Lily asked, annoyed as she hung her jacket up. "and why isn't Harry in bed?"
James growled. He continued to rock the child in his arms, "he was asleep until you woke him up." James cradled the boy against his body. "I know he isn't yours but I would appreciate if you treated him like he was."
Lily scowled at that. It was true. Harry was not her son. Neither was Matt. Only Abby was hers. She had too much of a complication with Abby. James didn't want to risk a second child but they had always wanted a big family.
Sirius had offered to bare James and Lily a baby. He had always loved James and Lily bribed him. She would tell him that this was the closest to James he would ever be and she let him stay in the house over the pregnancy.
James had been happy because he thought Lily and Sirius were finally getting along. Sirius being him best friend and first love. They had never gotten together because James had always been obsessed with Lily.
After that they had asked Severus to carry their third child. He had been in love with Lily and would do anything for her. He refused however and Sirius carried Harry as well.
"Don't give me that! I love him!" Lily growled.
"You left him all alone in an empty house! He's three for Merlin's sake! What if he had gotten hurt?"
Lily frowned at that. "I thought you were home."
"You know I leave early for Matt's auditions."
Harry started crying again. He did not like it when his parents fought. And they fought a lot.
"I'm getting us a house elf. We need one." James said calmly. It would solve so many of their problems.
"No! We don't need one!"
"Lily, we aren't muggles. We don't have to live like them." James said evenly. "I let you have your muggle wedding and by a house in a muggle area and you even have a muggle job. But this is where I draw the line. You said you would clean and take care of the kids and cook but when I came home Harry was hungry and alone and the living room was a mess."
"Well sorry I didn't grow up with magic!" Lily screamed. "I like the muggle way."
James growled at her.
"Daddy? Mommy?"
The duo turned to see Abby shivering in a white towel while staring wide eyed at them while Matt was sleepily rubbing his eyes and staring at them.
"Kids, go back to bed." Lily said.
"Daddy? Mommy? Why are you shouting?" Matt asked scared.
James sighed, "baby, go back to bed. Abby, finish dressing."
The girl frowned. She did not want to go to bed if her parents were fighting.
"Mommy and I were just talking." James tried. "I'll tuck you in now. Okay?"
Lily glared at him. "I don't think so. Kids, come here. We're leaving."
"Leaving?" Matt asked innocently. "why?"
"Because your father is a stuck up pureblood." Lily said.
James growled at her, "don't you dare touch my kids."
"Your kids? What happened to them being our kids?" Lily shrieked.
James huffed.
Lily made a lunge to grab Harry from James' arms. James growled and took a step back. He lifted Matt into his arms and stood in front of Abby. Lily growled and grabbed Abby, lifting the girl into her arms. James glared, "give her to me."
"No, she is my daughter!"
James growled. "mudblood." he spat.
Lily gasped. James followed her outside and watched her apparate away. James clutched his sons and apparated.
xXxXx
"James?"
Sirius was leaning against his bedroom door stifling a yawn as he watched James enter through his front door. He yelped as Harry was plopped into his arms.
"Can we stay here? I don't want Lily taking them." James said.
"What? Lily taking them? What are you talking about?"
James turned his tired eyes onto Sirius, "I'll explain in the morning. Please?"
Sirius sighed and nodded. He looked at his two biological sons and smiled a bit. He would have loved to spend more time with them and James.
"Okay." Sirius agreed. "we'll put the kids on the couch. Where's Abby?"
James shook his head. "Lily took her."
"I see," Sirius said. "you can take my room. I'm going to finish some paperwork so that I won't have to do much tomorrow."
James hesitated. "are you sure?"
Sirius smiled, "yeah." he took Matt from James, the boy was shaking and he looked so lost and confused. Harry wasn't much better. The boy was whimpering and silently crying. "I'll calm them down. You get some rest."
"Thank you," James nodded.
"You boys want me to tell you a story?" Sirius asked cheerfully once James had disappeared into his room.
He received no answer though he was not really expecting one. He gently laid Matt down on the couch and laid a pillow under his head. He placed Harry inbetween the couch cushion and Matt. He covered the boys in a cotton blanket and began telling them a story about some embarrassing thing James had done in school.
Once he had the boys giggling he told them a boring story about a princess and how she was rescued by her prince.
Sirius waited five minutes after the boys had closed their eyes before stopping his story. He adjusted their blankets before dimming the lights and walking to his study to finish paperwork.
xXxXx
Harry giggled as Sirius joked at him. They had been living with Sirius for a month now. He did not understand what was going on completely. Only that daddy was mad at mommy and wanted something called a divorce. Harry didn't care. He did not miss mommy that much. He liked Sirius.
James was currently at the Ministry doing something called a custody trial. Sirius had dressed the boys and fed them saying that they had to be at the Ministry soon.
Harry and Matt both took one of Sirius' hands as the man apparated outside a phone booth. He ushered them into the booth and Harry watched him do something causing them to descend.
"You boys behave now, okay?" Sirius said kissing both boys on the forehead. He led them to a separate room where a old woman was looking over a group of children.
"Abby!" Matt cried running over to her. The girl wrapped her brother up tightly in her arms.
"Where's Harry?" Abby asked. She looked around and ran to her littlest brother and lifted him into her arms. Harry wrapped his arms and legs around her and refused to let go. Abby didn't mind. She didn't want to let him go either.
Matt sat next his sister and rested against his sister.
xXxXx
"Mommy!" Matt grinned at her.
"Come here you three," Lily said opening her arms. She had tears in her eyes.
Abby ran forward and jumped into her mother's arms. Matt and Harry followed her example.
"Your father is taking you for now." she whispered. "I will still fight for you though." Lily had almost no claim on Matt and Harry since they were not even hers. James also had all the money and the better lawyer. Lily had got close to nothing. She had gotten one weekend with Abby a month. But she would fight for the girl with everything she had. Abby was her one chance at children.
"Kids, say goodbye to your mother. Your father is waiting for you outside."
Lily glared up at Sirius. "you will never be half the mother I was. Don't think I don't know what you're doing to James. I told you, two children may be yours but I am still their mother."
Sirius lifted Harry up into his arms and motioned for the other two out. "I will be a better mother than you ever were." he growled.
Lily glared at him as he left the room with her kids.
Harry did not know this then but this moment changed his life.
xXxXx
So, what do you guys think of this? I'm not sure where it's going yet but I have an idea. I see so many stories with both James and Lily as horrible parents or with just James as a horrible dad and Lily as an angel but never really just James.
James is a pureblood and Sirius is a pureblood so that makes both Matt and Harry purebloods.
Please review :)
