I own nothing except my own ideas, J. owns Harry Potter.
"It's a little small, isn't it?"
James Potter was pacing up and down the corridor of St. Mungo's hospital, Lily was fast asleep in the room with baby Harry lying peacefully next to her. James had sent a patronus to Peter, Remus and Sirius as soon as he had found out the baby was coming, but where were they now? He wasn't particularly worried just yet, they were allowed to be late of course! But he was so excited for them to see Harry! His son was so perfect in every way and even had James' hair. Harry was not yet a day old but James was the proudest father in the Wizarding World, probably the muggle world as well.
James soon got bored of waiting for his best friends so he went back to his wife and baby and picked Harry up and sat down to hold him and bond with Harry in their time alone. He hugged Harry and held him close and just enjoyed the moment they had together. He imagined all of the fun things they could do together as Harry grew up. He could teach him to fly and play Quidditch so he could be on the school team, Harry could be a Gryffindor Chaser just like him, but any member of the team would be perfect. He would wave Harry goodbye from platform 9 ¾ every year and listen to all of his stories each summer. But right now he just wanted to hold Harry close.
He was just rocking Harry to sleep when he heard loud voices coming from outside in the corridor. The noise got louder and louder so he got up and went to close the door so that Lily would not be awakened. Just before the sound was blocked out it became distinguishable that the voices belonged to his friends! Peter, Remus and Sirius were here at last! He felt excited all over again and went to sit down so he could surprise them with baby Harry.
Before he saw his friends, he saw a huge blue balloon float into the room first, closely followed by Sirius hurtling through the door, a large toy dog in his arms. "Congratulations Prongs! Where's the little Prongslet then,eh?" He beamed over at James with the happiest smile on his face.
"Congratulations James!" Peter and Remus said together as they made it inside afterwards.
"Thanks guys, it's great to see you! Lily's asleep right now but she will be so pleased to see you all," James was so happy now that they were there, they completed his family. He beckoned them over as he stood up with Harry cradled in his arms. They all crowded round and peeped into the bundle of blue blankets their best friend was carrying and let out a collective 'awww!' as he was such a sweet baby. His mass of messy black hair surrounded his round face, with chubby cheeks and big sleepy eyes gazing up at them.
"James, you must be so proud, he is adorable,"
"Prongs what are you naming him?"
"It's a little small, isn't it?"
Sirius Black might not turn out to be the most mature Godfather ever, but he would certainly be a lot of fun and a great friend to Harry and James knew he had made the right decision.
Now he just had to break the news to his friends...
