Part I: Harry's First Words

March 31, 1981,

"C'mon Harry!" James said. "Say "Dada""

Baby Harry just blew spit bubbles.

"That's not how you say it." James told him. "Da-da."

Lily laughed quietly at her husband. He was getting desperate.

Remus and Sara were visiting the Potter that day. Harry was nine months old today and the gang (or what was left) was getting together. Peter had RSVPed earlier to say that he couldn't make it because his aunt was sick (Eh hem). Sirius was going to show any second.

"Here Moony." James said handing his son reluctantly over to one of his best friends. "He likes you. Maybe you can get him to call me "Dada"."

"Harry." Remus asked the infant. "Would you PLEASE say your first word so your father can give us ALL a rest?"

Lily laughed louder at this. This was getting too good.

James looked over into the kitchen at her from the living room. "I still have yet to hear him call you "Mama""

"I know." Lily said. "But he's only nine months. And M's are hard for babies. That's why most babies' first words are "Dada". D's are easier."

"However, there are SOME exceptions." Sara added

"So, "Moony" is out of a question for now?" Sirius said coming into the living room. He had heard the conversation from the hall.

"Please say "Dada."" James begged his son.

"Pafoo." Harry said as he saw his godfather.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and starred at the baby.

"Well," Lily said breaking the silence. "Not really what I was hoping for, but at least he CAN talk."

"Pafoo?" James asked his son in shock. "Of all the billions of bloody words in the world, "Padfoot" is your first?"

"James!" Lily scolded. "Watch your language!"

"All right Harry!" Sirius cheered as he took his godson. "I knew you could do it."

"Idot." Harry added.

Silence.

"Excuse me?" Sirius asked.

"Padfoo Idot." Harry said

Harry was really repeating a phrase that he made up from two words that he had heard his parents and non-biological family use repeatedly (which is how babies learn to talk). His father and Uncle Remus would call his godfather "Padfoot" and his mother, Aunt Sara, and sometimes Uncle Remus would call his father and godfather "Idiot." Harry was looking quite pleased with himself as he said the phrase.

There was more silence.

Suddenly, James started laughing. HARD. Lily, Sara, and Remus joined in the laughing.

"Good one Harry." Sara said.

"Please say "Dada"" Sirius begged.

"Pafoo Idot." Harry repeated.

Part II: Megan's First Word

It's been about 16 years since Harry said his first words. Naturally his vocabulary had expanded. It took him about a week before he said "Dada", but he never used the phrase "Dada Idot" like Sirius wanted him to.

"What's so funny?" Ginny asked Harry who was laughing silently as he starred out into the country rolling by.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were on the train from Hogwarts. Ginny had two more years left while the other three were going to begin their last year in a few months.

"Hmm?" Harry asked snapping out of it. "Oh. I was just thinking of the memory Remus showed me."

Remus had shown him the memory of Harry's first word.

"What was the memory?" Ron asked with his mouth full of chocolate.

"My first words." Harry told him. "I said two words when I first spoke and for a week I could only say one comprehensible phrase."

"What was it?" Hermione asked interested.

"I'm not going to completely quote myself." Harry told her. "Because it was in baby talk. But it was "Padfoot Idiot.""

The car with the four students was filled with laughter.

"Has Megan said anything yet?" Hermione asked when they calmed down.

"I don't think so." Harry said. "I think I would have heard."

"I wonder what's going to happen when she turns 15 months?" Ginny asked solemnly.

The original Golden Trio looked at her confused.

"Wasn't that how old you were when…you know?" Ginny asked Harry.

"Oh yeah." Hermione said doing so quick calculating. "After Megan turns 15 months, your parents will be new at raising a kid."

"That's right." Harry realized. "But they have Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to help. Megan will turn 15 months in…"

"January." Hermione told him. "January 15th."

"Maybe we shouldn't mention it." Harry said. "Mum has a tendency to feel guilty about what happened THAT night."

"Right." The group agreed.

"Are you ready?" Lily asked her 9 month old daughter. "You get to see Harry again. Isn't that exciting?"

Megan, like her brother before her, just blew spit bubbles.

"C'mon Meg." James said taking his daughter from his wife. "Can you say "Dada"? Let's get you talking before Harry gets here."

"Here we go again." Lily sighed remembering that day that seemed like yesterday to her.

"And if you say "Padfoot"," James told his daughter. "Be sure to say "Idiot" as well."

"James?" Lily asked. "What are the chances that her first words will be the same as Harry's?"

"I'm not taking ANY chances." James told her.

"And we don't call our friends by those nicknames anymore." Lily reminded him. "How would she learn Harry's first word?"

"I'm just paranoid." James told her. "Happy?"

"James Potter paranoid?" she mused. "Oh yeah. I'm happy."

Just then, the train whistle was heard. Megan just giggled.

"Whew." Lily sighed. "I was scared that SHE'D be scared of the train."

"Nope." James said.

The train pulled up and students started to leave the train. Some of the younger students ran to embrace their parents. Others had parents running to them.

Megan eyed each of the students. She had never seen so many people. Suddenly, four of the students caught her eyes. She smiled as she recognized one of them.

"What is it Love?" James asked his daughter.

"Airwy" she said pointing at her brother.

The fact that the nine-month old spoke shocked her parents enough to where it didn't register WHAT the child meant.

"There they are!" Harry said as he found his parents and baby sister.

"Maybe they'll know where ours are." Ron said.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny made their way to the Potters who were starring at Megan.

"Hello?" Harry said wondering if they even saw him.

Megan reached for her brother.

Feeling his daughter move, James snapped out of it and realized that Megan wanted to be held by Harry.

"Oh!" James exclaimed as he realized his son was standing in front of him with his trolley in tow. "There you are."

James handed Megan to Harry who took her.

"What happened?" Ginny asked.

"Airwy." Megan repeated as she hugged her brother.

"She spoke her first word." Lily answered as she also snapped out of it.

Harry was now in shock since he heard Megan say his name.

"Who all knows?" Hermione asked.

"Just us." James said. "And the people around us, but I think they were paying more attention to their own kids."

James and Lily turned to see Neville reunited with Frank and Alice.

"C'mon kids. Let's get you home. Ron, Ginny, Hermione, you're coming with us."

"I thought as much." Ron said. "You okay Harry?"

"Yeah." Harry said snapping out of it before looking at his sister. "You're not going to call me "Idiot" right?"

Everyone laughed.

At Potter Manor,

Remus had flooed from Hogwarts to be with his pregnant wife. After Sara found the cure for Remus' "disease", he and Melissa had a little bit more freedom in their marriage. She was now 8 months pregnant. Sara also flooed in from Hogwarts. Like Melissa, she had also gotten pregnant. John had shown up at Hogwarts to visit Remus and Sara one day. Sirius, Spica, and their two month old daughter had also shown up. The Weasleys and Grangers were also there at Potter Manor to spend the summer. Once the Potters got back with the kids, they would put up enough wards to keep the press and any still loyal Death Eaters away from the younger crowd.

When the Potters came with the kids, James put up the wards while Harry went to talk to Fred and George about business.

"How's the store coming along?" Harry asked Fred and George.

"Great." George said.

"We couldn't have done it without you." Fred whispered to Harry.

"No problem." Harry said. "At least you remembered to put Cedric as one of your benefactors."

"Do you still want to remain anonymous?" George asked.

"Yes." Harry said. "Do you have any new products?"

"Oh yeah." They said with matching mischievous grins.

"It came out on the first anniversary of the final fall of You-Know-Who." George said with a Marauder-like grin.

"You have a joke in there somewhere." Harry told him.

"It's the name of the product." Fred said.

"We call it…" George started.

"You-No-Poo." Both twins said.

Harry quietly laughed. Leave it to the twins to think of something like that.

"What did your mother say?" Harry had to ask.

"That we'd be murdered in our beds…" George started.

"…By still loyal Death Eaters." Fred finished.

"C'mon Meg." Lily said bouncing her daughter in her arms. "Say it for Aunts Sara, Mel, and Spica."

"Did Megan say…" Fred started

"…Her first word?" George finished.

"Yes." Harry said with a small laugh.

"What was it?" Arthur asked James.

"Airwy." Megan repeated herself.

Everyone looked between Megan and Harry.

"That's so sweet." Molly said. "Her first word was "Harry"."

"Hopefully it won't take her a week to say "Dada"." James said looking at Harry

"Oh? It's MY fault her first word was "Harry"? I've been away at school." Harry said to his father.

"I'm just teasing." James said ruffling his son's already messy hair. "I'm going to get something to eat. Want anything?"

"Nah." Harry said. "I got us some snacks on the train. Thanks for the offer"

After James left the living room to go into the kitchen, Megan followed him with her eyes.

"Dada?" she asked looking at the entrance to the kitchen.

"Wow." Spica said hearing her goddaughter. "How long did it take Harry to say that?"

"A week." Lily said smiling at Megan. "JAMES POTTER! GET IN HERE!"

"What?" James said entering the room eating an apple. He had been looking for something to eat when his wife called, so he just grabbed an apple on the way out.

"C'mon Meg." Harry said to his sister. "Say it again."

"Dada." Megan repeated looking at James.

James dropped his apple in shock. He was expecting another week before Megan said that word.

"ALRIGHT!" James cheered as he took his daughter from her mother and swung her around. Megan giggled.

"I knew you could do it." James said.

"Déjà vu." Remus said.

"That was the same way James treated Harry when HE said "Dada."" Sirius informed his wife.
