A/N: This is my drabble using the Princess prompt.

Princess Potter

"Daddy! Daddy! Wake up!" a muffled voice shouted as tiny fists pounded on Harry and Ginny's bedroom door.

Harry groaned and reached an arm across the bed, but was disappointed to find it empty. He figured Ginny must have gotten up early to make breakfast. He slowly sat up and glanced at the door, which Lily continued to knock on insistently, then at the clock. He sighed as he saw that he had only gotten five hours of sleep after returning home late from his mission in America. Though he was exhausted, he knew he could not fall back asleep now. Besides, he had missed his family desperately, especially his little princess who was still shouting at him to get up. He grinned and waved his wand at the door to open it, bracing himself for the fiery six-year-old that bounded into the room. Lily launched herself onto the bed and climbed on Harry's lap. She giggled happily as he wrapped his arms tightly around her, raining kisses all over her face.

"How's my princess?" Harry asked, hugging her close before pulling her back to get a good look at her. It had only been a week since he last saw her, but he still hated to miss any time with his family. He loved his job, but he always felt like he missed so much while he was away.

"Mummy and I had the whole house to ourselves yesterday! We played dress up and made biscuits," she informed him eagerly.

"Did you save any for me?" Harry replied.

"Maybe…" She gave him a sly look that reminded him so much of her mother.

"Maybe? Well, if you won't tell me I'll just have to…" he trailed off and started tickling her stomach, sending her into an uncontrollable fit of giggles.

"Okay…okay! We…saved you…some," she capitulated between gasps of laughter.

"Good!" He stopped tickling and hugged her close again. She squirmed around so that she could plant a sloppy kiss on his cheek.

"I missed you, Daddy. Don't go away again. Please?" she begged, looking up at him with her big brown eyes that never failed to make him melt.

"I missed you too, princess. I'm going to have to go away again eventually, but not for a while," he promised. She pouted and snuggled closer into his chest.

"I guess that's okay," she sulked.

"I'll make it up to you, I promise. Now, enough moping! Let's go see about breakfast, shall we?" She scrambled off his lap and jumped down from the bed, grabbing his hand to bring him with her.

They reached the kitchen, where Ginny was standing at the stove cooking bacon and eggs. She turned as they entered and smiled.

"Morning, love. Sorry for the early wake-up call; I tried to keep her occupied but she just had to see her Daddy," Ginny said, grinning indulgently at their daughter.

"That's alright. I wanted to see my princess, too," Harry replied. He kissed her, lingering for just a moment before reluctantly turning to get Lily settled at the table. "Where are the boys?"

"Oh, they're spending the weekend with Ron and Hermione," she answered.

"Bless them. Probably didn't know what they were getting themselves into, especially with James," Harry chuckled.

"Well, at least they didn't have this one, too," she replied, nodding towards Lily. "Then they really would have been in trouble."

"Too right," Harry laughed, ruffling Lily's hair. She scowled at him.

"I'm not trouble. I'm a princess!" she declared, folding her arms.

"Princesses can get into trouble, too," Harry said.

"I don't get into trouble! Trouble finds me," she pouted while Harry and Ginny burst into laughter.

"Merlin, that sounds familiar! Must run in the family," Ginny said, smirking at Harry. He stuck his tongue out at her.

"I was hoping not to pass on that particular trait," Harry responded ruefully.

"Were you trouble, Daddy?" Lily asked.

"Princess, you have no idea," he replied, shaking his head as Ginny snorted behind him.

"What if I get into lots of trouble, Daddy, will I still be a princess?" she asked seriously. He pulled her onto his lap and kissed her cheek.

"You will always be my princess," he affirmed, running a hand through her wild red tangles of hair. "Just try not to get into too much trouble, okay?"

"Okay," she agreed happily.
