Harry Looks Just Like James
Lily Potter was in the kitchen finishing the dishes that they dirtied from that night. The sound of the water running always made Lily get lost in her head. So when James spoke her name from the living room, it reached her ears but with her brain miles away it went unheard. Lily didn't realize that the dishes were done and she had just been staring at the swirling water going down the drain. Doing such mundane things made her think of all her friends fighting the war, while they read books and washed dishes, but this is what they had to do. Right? "Lily?" She whirled around to see James standing in the middle of the kitchen entrance staring intently at Harry. Lily let a little sigh escape before she turned the water off and asked "Yes James?" Still staring at baby in his arms, "I think I've changed my mind." Lily leaned against the sink and tilted her head at him skeptical of where he was going with this, James went on, "I think… I think he's going to grow up to look exactly like me." James looked up from the baby's face to give Lily a very serious look before he looked back down at Harry. Lily shook her head lovingly at her husband and gave him a smile, "We're going to have to warn McGonagall or she just might have a heart attack." Lily expected James to laugh at that one, but he just kept his eyes on Harry. Lily shifted her eyes to Harry too. Despite it being so late Harry's eyes were still open and showing no signs of sleep as his little chubby fingers relentlessly tried to grab he's fathers glasses. As Lily stared her son, her feeling of regret left her, remembering she would to anything to protect her son. James spoke again this time with a grin spreading across his face, "But, he does have your eyes." Lily walked over to James and Harry, both were now staring at Harry and his bright green eyes that were filled with innocence only a child could have.
