"Ana! Ana! Ana!" Harry cried to me as he toddled out of the house.
"Munchkin! Munchkin! Munchkin!" I cried right back, as I ran over to him,
grabbing him into a hug. Harry threw his arms around my neck, giggling
happily. "And how is my favorite little boy today?" I asked him, giving him
a big kiss on the cheek.
He giggled, slapping me on the head. Lily and James came out right then, smiling. James thought I was the best person to watch over his son, even Lily thought so. "We're probably going to be gone most of the day Anya, so you can take him to the park or something. Make sure he's wearing a coat though, it might storm today."
Lily always fretted over Harry. James and I laughed over it, but we both knew it was for the best. Lily most definetly loved her son. She gave him a kiss, before they were off. James waved goodbye before Lily dragged him off to their car.
I rolled my eyes, and said to Harry, "Well munchkin, it's just you and me. What do you want to do today?" "Pway!" "Okay Har, we'll play.What do you want us to play?" "Bwocks and pawk!" "Okay, we'll play with your blocks, and then go to the park. Did James and Lily feed you, or am I supposed too?" "Had cheewies and juie."
Cheerios and juice were Harry's favorite easy breakfast. James and Lily apparently were in a hurry, so James, who usually made breakfast, must have just given Harry anything he could find. "That's yummy. I know they wouldn't mind if I had breakfast, cause I woke up late. Is that what mummy and daddy did?" "Woke wait Ana."
I smirked. Right, as always. On important days, those two tend to sleep late for some reason. Picking up Harry, I carried him into the kitchen, and put him in the portable playpen, while I fixed myself a bowl of cereal. James was a big softy when it came to cereal, so the house was equipt with all of the different kinds you could ever want.
When I was finished, I washed the dishes, and got out Harry's blocks. All of them, which took awhile. The munchkin loved to build things, and Lily loved to encourage his creativity, so by this time, he had about a thousand of them. He clapped happily when I carried the last of them in, panting.
"Oh, you think this is funny do you munchkin? Well, I'd love to see you try to carry all of these blocks in here. Now what do you want to build? I'll help you if you want." "Hoggies." "Hogwarts it is." So we set to work, building an almost perfect model of the Hogwarts Castle. It took a very long time, and was filled with little models of the ghosts and professors.
Lily was defense against the dark arts teacher at Hogwarts, and Albus Dumbledore, her boss, loved Harry to death. He had given Harry the blocks we used to make the miny castle we had just finished. It was a birthday gift, for his first birthday. And Harry loved Albus right back, but because he was a baby, and he loved everybody.
As soon as we were finished with the castle, Harry wanted to go to the park. It figured. So I found his jacket, got him ready, and we were off. The part wasn't that far off from the house, so I got Harry in the stroller, and we walked there. Even though Harry could walk, James, Lily, Remus, Sirius, and I tended to either use the stroller or carry him.
He had been sick for a few months after he was born, so he was kind of weak. Everyone who knew babied him. And he adored every second of it. The second he gave you those big ole puppy dog eyes, you melted. With his tossled black hair and bright, big green eyes, who could resist? Not me, that's for sure. I'm a sucker for my baby cousin.
The park wasn't that crowded, which was surprising for a Saturday afternoon. I spotted the mother of two of my friends, Elizabeth and Janessa Weasley, who had a son Harry's age that was with her. "Hey Mrs. Weasley. Hey Ronnie. It's good to see you." "Hello Anya. Babysitting your cousin?" "Yeah, Lily and James wanted to go out today, so I volunteered to watch the munchkin. Liz and Jan here?"
"Yes, dear, Elizabeth and Janessa are off playing with Fred, George, Percy, and the baby. Do you want me to get them for you?" "Yes please Mrs. Weasley." "Alright, could you watch Ron for me?" "Yeah, my pleasure." So Mrs. Weasley went off to find them, while I watched the boys.
He giggled, slapping me on the head. Lily and James came out right then, smiling. James thought I was the best person to watch over his son, even Lily thought so.
