"Baby Pictures"
Harry pulled his legs up and tucked them against his chest as he looked at the book, so simple but so important. He already knew it would be important and he hadn't seen much of it yet. Sirius turned the first page which had all of their names written on it, each in a different handwriting and charmed to glow or crawl across the page. The next was a collage of pictures, baby pictures.
"When I said this was our history I wasn't lying. Lily, your mum had this thing about putting everything in chronological order. Your dad thought that if we did do it that way we might as well do it right. Can you tell who is who? I mean besides me being the best looking of all of them." Harry gave a chuckle, and his heart felt a bit better for some reason, he couldn't place why but it just did. Sirius moved the book so Harry could see all of the pictures clearly.
There were five little baby pictures; two little bald babies, one was cute and happy looking, the other one thick for a baby as far as Harry was concerned; there was two babies which could have passed as twin, one with very little black hair and the other one with curly black hair. One had their eyes open and they were a beautiful blue. The last baby was obviously his mother, Lily. Her hair was curly and red, a very bright red. Her eyes were closed. As the other pictures moved, the babies cooing, rolling, and the chunkier one sucking his thumb the one of Lily remained the same, an unmoving Muggle photograph.
"I think I can." Harry said. "This one here, the Muggle photo has to be my Mum, Even without the fact that the photo is a Muggle one her hair is red, she was the only one with red hair." Harry ran his photo over the picture, his Mum. She was just a baby, so little and she didn't know that she was going to be a witch and marry James and have a little boy and die before he could walk. She didn't know any of it.
"Yup, that's her. Easy one, now what about the others?" Sirius motioned back towards the pages.
"Ok, well I think this one is Remus. I don't know why but he looks sort of like Remus to me." Harry pointed to the happy who rolled over in the picture.
"Another one right. You haven't gotten to the tough ones yet."
Harry looked back at the pictures, he had already figured out which ones were Remus and his Mum. One was his dad, the other was Sirius and the last one was.him. Pettigrew. Looking back over the pictures he decided that the cubby one had to be Peter, it just had to.
"That one is Pettigrew." Harry said with hate in his voice pointing at the picture. "And one of these is you and the other is my Dad." Sirius looked at little Peter. He hadn't looked at this book in the longest time and little, baby Peter looked so deceiving. So wrong. Shaking the thought from his head he looked back at the pictures.
"Two left, the handsome baby and your father. Which baby would you say is the cutest?" Harry studied the pictures and noticed that there was the tiniest group of freckles on the curly haired baby's neck, side glancing at Sirius he saw the patch, very light and very small but there. He hid a chuckle in a chough.
"This one is the cutest." Harry said pointing at the one that was definitely his father, James Potter. Sirius did a small double take.
"You have odd tastes. The other one is much cuter. That one," he motioned toward the one Harry had pointed at, "is James. Made fun of me because of this picture you know, my curly hair. He couldn't be bald could he, no full head of hair.
"Relax Sirius, both of them are cute and it wasn't the hair." Sirius gave him a questioning glace. "That," Harry put his hand on Sirius' freckles, "is what gave it away." Sirius hand moved to his neck and then he looked at the picture, leaning forward he squinted his eye.
"I can't see them there. It's those Seeker eyes. Your father could see a knut down the street in a storm." Harry smiled and adjusted his glasses. "That one is me." Sirius pointed at the curly haired baby.
"Well it would be from process of elimination wouldn't it?" Harry piped in.
"See, you are like Uncle Sirius. Sarcastic. Told James and Lily I would rub off on you."
"I think I'm a bit like all of you." Harry added, his eyes getting lost in the pictures.
"Well, your smart like your parents, and I think there is a bit of me and Remus in you."
"Pettigrew too, Sirius."
"Before he turned Harry, before he turned. Now what do you say we look at some more of this book?" Sirius began to turn the page and Harry glanced at his Mum and Dad as the parchment turned. "Now here we sort of skip ahead a few years."
