Chapter One:
Lily and James Potter were sitting on the couch, playing with their one-year-old baby Harry, waiting for their babysitter to arrive so they could get away for the weekend. "James, are you sure that he'll be able to take care of Harry?" Lily asked her husband while he tickled Harry's stomach.
James looked up from Harry's giggling and smiling face and nodded. "I'm sure they'll be fine." He said, looking up at Lily who still looked worried. He picked harry up and held him in front of his mommy. "I love staying with Uncle Padfoot!" He said in a mock-baby voice.
Lily couldn't help but to grin in spite of herself at them. Harry giggled and clapped his tiny little hands together. "Pa Foo!!!"" He said happily. James grinned widely and Lily sighed. "Alright, I guess if Harry's ok with it then I don't mind."
James grinned triumphantly and kissed his son's tuff of messy black hair. "That's my boy!" He said happily as the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" He volunteered, carrying Harry over to the door with him. He peeked through the peephole and grinned when he saw his best mate Sirius Black grinning back at him. He opened the door wide. "Padfoot!" He said happily as Sirius came into the house and grabbed Harry out of James' arms.
James closed the door as Harry squealed "Pa Foo!!!!!" And wrapped his tiny little arms around Sirius' neck.
"Prongslet!" Sirius laughed, hugging his tiny godson.
Lily walked in and smiled at the two of them hugging. "And you thought it was a bad idea for Sirius to baby sit.." James grinned, slipping an arm around Lily's waist. Lily smiled and kissed his cheek quickly.
"Alright Sirius, everything you need should be in the house. You know where everything is. Make yourself at home and emergency numbers are by the phone." Lily told him, going over and kissing Harry on the cheek. "Bye baby." She said to him with a smile.
"Bye bye mommy!" Harry giggled in his cute one year old voice. Lily smiled and James kissed him on the forehead and ruffled his already messy head of hair.
"Don't be good for Uncle Paddy." James told him with a wink.
Harry giggled again. "Bye bye Daddy!" He said happily. Sirius laughed and said bye to the both of them.
As Lily and James walked towards the door, Sirius glanced over the list of Emergency numbers they left for him. He got to the bottom of the list and yelled to them "You put Remus on the list?!" Lily and James both just laughed and left the house. Seconds later Sirius heard an apparation pop and grinned to Harry. "You're all mine for the next 2 days Prongslet!"
Harry giggled and clapped. Sirius grinned and quickly locked the door before going into the living room. "So what do you want to do first Harry?" He asked setting the baby down on the floor and sitting cross legged next to him. He flipped the TV on for some background noise. Harry grinned and stood up slowly, wobbling around for a bit before walking the few steps over to Sirius.
"Doggy!" He announced happily.
Sirius laughed. "You want to see the doggy Harry?" He asked his godson who nodded and giggled happily. Sirius sighed. "Alright." He said before changing into Padfoot. Once he did Harry giggled happily, watching the doggy try and chase it's own tail for a second while trying to keep himself from falling over.
That didn't last long though because seconds later the 'doggy' nudged Harry's stomach gently with his nose and the toddler fell over with an "umph." Sirius grinned and wagged his tail as Harry giggled and scratch behind the dogs ears.
After a few minutes--in which Padfoot was found on his back, having Harry scratch his stomach while his leg went wild--Harry found something much more interesting than the doggy. He saw what looked to be a stick rolling across the floor.
Hey, mommy and daddy both have ones of those! He thought to himself. Well I want one too! Harry decided. He crawled over to the wand and picked it up and started playing with it, sending a few sparks around the living room.
This caught Sirius' attention as he turned back into his human form. "Harry, no! Give uncle Padfoot back his wand." He said, slowly crawling towards the baby and holding his hand out. Harry looked up at Sirius and grinned. A grin that made Sirius gulp slightly, he had seen the same grin on James countless times before. "Harry..what're you--" He was cut off when he got a big jet of orange paint in the face.
He rubbed it out of his eyes and looked at Harry, astonished. "Bloody hell! Where did you learn to do that?" He asked, before his mouth was filled with soap bubbled which he repeatedly spit out for a few second until they were gone.
"Langige!" Harry yelled with a look on his face that reminded Sirius of Lily. Harry grinned to himself, having seen Mommy do that to Daddy and Uncle Paddy so many times before.
Sirius couldn't help but start to laugh, paint and soap bubbles dripping off his face as he did so. He tried to get the wand back a few more times, with no luck. He sighed, decinding there was only one thing for him to do.
Sirius left Harry on the floor by the couch, keeping a careful eye on him, and went to the phone. He dialed a number when a hoarse but cheerful voice answered. "Hello?"
"Moony?" Sirius answered. "It's Padfoot, can you come by Lily and James'?"
"What's wrong Pads?" Remus Lupin asked.
"I'm babysitting Harry and I need some help.." Sirius answered with a sigh as Harry sent red and gold bubbles all around the living room and giggled happily.
He heard Remus laugh on the other line. "I'm on my way.." Before hearing a click of hanging up.
Seconds later Remus stepped out of the glowing green fireplace to see Harry and his many bubbles, holding Sirius' wand. He slapped his forehead. "You let him get your wand?!"
Think I should keep going?
