Chapter 3: Feeding Baby Harry

After the whole wand incident was done and over with, and Remus had finally stopped laughing, it was about time for Harry to eat. This should be fun. They had both seen Lily and James feed Harry and it never ended pretty. More of the food was usually on their faces, well James more than Lily because she could give a look that would make Harry quickly stop throwing food and actually eat.

"Padfoot, put him in his highchair." Remus said, looking through all the baby food jars for one for Harry to eat. He decided on strained peas. Sirius scooped his godson up off the floor and put him into his hair chair.

Harry giggled and sat there nicely, swinging his little legs. He figured he would be nice for now because soon food would be all over the kitchen. He saw the baby food and giggled. Green was hard to get off the white walls, even with magic, and mommy wouldn't be happy with them.

"Alright Harry, ready for some yummy peas?" Remus asked, sitting on a chair on one side of Harry, Sirius on the other side. He got a nice big spoonful and tried feeding it to Harry, who hit the spoon away and splattered green peas all over Remus' face.

"Nice one Moony!" Sirius said, laughing hysterically at the look on Remus' face, dripping with the green gunk.

"You try it if you're so smart then." Remus said, pushing the bowl and spoon into Sirius' hands. Sirius grinned, shrugged and got a spoonful of baby food. "Here come the broomstick Harry!" He said as he zoomed it in circles to the toddler's mouth. Harry giggled and clapped and opened his mouth for the food. Sirius grinned in triumph until Harry spit the food out all over Sirius' face. Sirius grimaced as Remus laughed.

"Maybe we should try a different one Pads." He said once his own laughter and Harry's giggles subsided. Sirius glared at Remus and grabbed a towel to wipe his face off with.

"You think?" He snapped, wiping off all the baby food he could.

Remus chuckled and grabbed some strained carrots from the cabinet. He poured them in a bowl and let Sirius try to feed him a few more times. All of which Harry pushed the spoon away and covered Remus in carrots.

I like this game! Harry thought to himself, giggling as Remus cleaned the carrots off himself yet again. Sirius was laughing when Remus grabbed the bowl of spoon from him.

"Harry, please eat?" Remus practically pleaded. He then got an idea when he glanced over at Sirius. "Uncle Padfoot likes it!" He declared with a smirk. Before Sirius even had time to think or react Remus shoved a big spoonful of the orange good into his mouth. Sirius made a grossed out face and went to spit it out but Remus stopped him. "Harry's waiting for you to swallow Pads." He said in a mocking tone.

Sirius glared at Remus and very reluctantly swallowed the disguising baby food. "I'm going to kill you." He warned through gritted teeth, but this seemed enough evidence that the food tasted good for Harry because he ate the next spoonful offered to him and didn't even spit it out.

"At a boy Harry!" Remus said with a wide grin, feeding him some more baby food and ignoring Sirius' threat. After the bowl was empty of carrots he grinned. "Now that wasn't so bad, was it Harry?" The baby giggled and clapped his little hands together. He then turned to Sirius who was eating what looked to be a jar of strained carrot baby food. "uhm..what are you doing Pads?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

Sirius looked up and grinned. "You're right, this stuff isn't that bad."

Remus rolled his eyes and snatched the jar from Sirius' hands. "That's for Harry." He said, putting the top back on. He waved his wand and floated the jar into the fridge. He then waved it again and cleaned the walls, himself, Harry, and Sirius off.

"Uhm..Moony..what's Harry doing?" Sirius asked cautiously as he looked over at Harry. Remus looked over also and saw that Harry was red-faced with his tiny fists clenched. After a moment he sighed in relief and looked very pleased with himself. Sirius and Remus both raised a questioning eyebrow until a horrible smell invaded their nostrils.

"Oh god!" Sirius exclaimed, covering his nose quickly. Remus followed suit and did the same. "What in the name of Merlin is that?!"

Remus gulped as Harry's eyes started to water right before he started to cry. "Sirius...I think he needs to be changed.."
