A/N: Here is the next chapter. Thanks to Bramble IceDancer and ElementUchihaMaster for reviewing one.
Harry was a smart child. He could sit up on his own and he was already attempting to crawl. Yet he never said a word. He was eight months old at this point. So when Lily went to go get groceries, James watched Harry, not expecting anything out of the ordinary. He watched as Harry colored in a coloring book, or attempted to get color on the moving pictures. Suddenly the fireplace flared green and out stepped Sirius. "Pafoo!" Harry exclaimed. James' face drained color. Lily swore to him if Harry's first word was something that involved James' friends, she would kill him.
"Yeah mini-Prongs. I'm Padfoot." Sirius said as he picked up Harry. James jumped up and began to panic. He loved Lily, he did, but he was terrified her when she got mad, especially if it was directed towards him. He really didn't want to die yet.
"Come on Harry, say anything else, say Daddy." James begged, hoping that Harry would forget the first word he had ever said.
"Pafoo."
"Daaddy."
"Paafoo." Harry said, trying to imitate his father. Suddenly the fireplace flared again and out stepped Remus. "Moony!" Harry exclaimed.
"OH COME ON!" James exclaimed. He looked to the heavens, "JUST KILL ME NOW!" He begged. He would rather face lightning then Lily when mad. The fire flared for a third time and out stepped Lily. "Mama!" Harry exclaimed. Thank you. A normal first word. Please don't let Harry send me to my grave. James thought to himself. Lily's face lit up. Harry's face also lit up. He looked up to Sirius, "Pafoo." He then pointed to Remus, "Moony." He then pointed to his father, "Pongs." Seconds later, James dove for the floor as a Stupefy spell came his way. He trembled as Lily came towards him, wand drawn and pointed at his face. He may be head Auror but he was still whipped as Sirius often loved to tell him. In fact the first words out of his lips were, "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" Any sane person who had been on the other end of the red-head before him would have probably said the same.
"There's only two reasons I'm not killing you." Lily said as she put her wand away. "One, I don't want Harry to be the witness of murder(A/N: Ironic huh?), and two,…" Lily muttered the second part. James slowly got his confidence back at Lily's hesitation.
"What was that Lily, I didn't quite catch that." James said as Sirius put Harry on the floor.
"I mumble mumble to much." Lily said.
"One last time." James prodded.
"I love you too much! There I said it. I've gone mushy." Lily said.
"Mama." Lily looked down to find Harry reaching up, his emerald eyes begging her to pick him up. Lily easily picked him up and put him on her hip.
"How'd he get over there?" Sirius asked. They all came to the same conclusion. All of them just missed Harry's first successful crawl.
End Chapter. I'm mostly going to go by Harry's firsts mostly because his parents missed so many of them.
