Title: Long Day
Prompt: Merlin
Harry was the one who took James school shopping before his first year. Several trying hours after the trip began, Harry was trudging up the front steps of the Potter home, James running excited circles around him.
As soon as they were inside, James was tearing up the stairs to find his siblings.
"I got an owl!" James shouted. "And I named him Merlin, after the wizard on my chocolate Frog card!"
"Good job, Dad," Ginny teased, smiling a little wickedly as Harry collapsed, exhausted, on the sofa beside her.
"Next year, you're taking him," Harry groaned.
Ginny just laughed.
