Chapter 11
Swut up Serus!
SIRIUS' POV
Just then Harry's cries came from down the hallway. Had it really been only yesterday I had held him? Lily rushed to him and came back rocking him in her arms. He stopped crying when he saw James, Remus, and I. When he looked up into my eyes, green to grey, Harry said his first words.
"Swut up Serus!" he cooed.
It took my and James' mind a second to register this. Then we stared at each other, a triumphant smile filling my face, a scowl on James'.
"He said my name before yours!" I chanted happily, dancing about. Lily and Remus still didn't get it and I answered their puzzled expressions.
"Ha Lily! You thought I had bad influence on Harry! James taught him how to say 'Shut up Sirius'!" I laughed as her confusion turned into rolling eyes. Remus' face was unreadable. Then a smile went from his lips and reached his eyes. Of course, he sided with me.
"Oooo! Burn James! Burn!" he yelled. We each were each other's dancing partners as we annoyed James and Lily even more.
Then Harry said something else, "Honey. Whime Home!"
Staring at James again, I couldn't help but continue to laugh uncontrollably. "He's got the process mixed up," I said through gasping breaths. "First, I bang the door open and yell 'Honey, I'm home!' Then you, James, scream at me to 'Shut up, Sirius!'"
It was no wonder it was Harry's first words, as he had to hear the same thing every single night. Tears from laughing so hard fell down upon my face. I gripped onto the closest solid thing, which just so happened to be Remus, but apparently he needed my support as much as I needed him. We both fell onto the floor. With both Remus and I in hysterical fits, I knew James wouldn't last much longer. Sure enough, he started to laugh with us. Then Lily fell for it and giggled. Harry smiled and laughed too. It was beautiful, ripples of joy filling the house which just last night had been full of pain. This memory was something I would treasure always.
