Potty Trained Yet?
Disclaimer:I don't own anything
"Harry, please," James was seen kneeling in front of a pouting toddler, "Harry, trust me, it feels really good to go without nappies, see? Mummy and Daddy don't use nappies, and we are perfectly happy!"
The little boy who looked remarkably like James widened his emerald eyes as he thought of something, and with childish and simple words, he said,
"Daddy no veggie, Daddy no nappie, Harry no nappie, Harry no veggie?"
James looked shocked at his proposal, then shook his head,
"Harry, no. Veggie is for babies! Harry is baby!"
Harry continued to pout, one hand lay protectively on the hem of his diapers as James slumped off to find Lily.
They had tried to potty train Harry for 2 weeks now, to no avail, when Lily heard from her mother boasting about how Dudley (what a hideous name!) was already able to tell Petunia the need to use the potty, Lily had became furious, and being as competitive as she is, she forced James to potty train Harry.
"Lily! That kid got your cleverness and my mischieviousness! He is threatening me to exchange diapers for vegetables! I told you you gave him too much vegetables!"
Lily was not happy.
"What do you mean I give him too much vegetables?" Lily roared, "He needs those! and you! You aren't trying your best! Harry needs to get potty trained! And I thought you could do it!"
"Well, why don't you try it!" James was suddenly very angry due to frustration and the constant danger, he is looking for a way to let out his anger and pressure for a really long time, "He certainly got you stubbornness! He won't even budge!"
They are both fuming, and Lily stalked off ignoring Harry altogether when he tried to be picked up by Lily, but was unable to since Lily is walking too fast for Harry to catch up. Harry looked at Lily's back and turned to look at his father, James ran a hand over his hair, and went off the other direction to the garden. Harry stood in the hallway, where minutes ago his Mummy and Daddy where yelling at each other, he doesn't understand this, is it because he would not sit on the plastic thing that looks exactly like that thing Mummy and Daddy sits on, unaware of the danger of falling in and disappeared in the circular motion of the water?
Any ordinary baby will cry at that thought, but Harry is no ordinary baby, so he just sat there and lay down on the carpet, feeling the soft carpet on his bare limbs playfully.
Much later, Lily and James still haven't talked to each other, they still did what they normally did, Lily still showered behind the shower curtain as James brushed his teeth, and Lily still brushed her teeth while James put Harry to bed in the other room, and they still lay on the same bed in the night, but with two different dreams.
When James was starting to doze off, a crash was heard in the direction of the nursery,
"Harry!" James and Lily both said at the same time, and they leapt out of their bed and rushed to the nursery, but what they found was an empty nursery and an empty cot, Lily looked at James accusingly, but James said,
"He must have magicked his way out, I did put him in!"
They walked out and found out that the bathroom light is open, they stood in the open doorway, and what they found was heart warming.
Harry is sitting on the plastic tiny potty, his pants down and smiling up at his parents,
"No Nappie!" Harry shouted gleefully,
"Yes, no nappie," James smiled, and hugged Lily, bring his lips to hers even as Harry watched.
A/N - In case you have a dirty mind, James and Lily did not go any further than kissing.
I got this idea when I was reading fanfiction and I thought I want to do a fanfiction about the brief life of parenthood for James and Lily.
