Lily had conjured a basket (a/n: think car-seat…or sort of…) to put the baby in it and she arrived in the hall that night, holding it in her hands. Several heads turned to look at her. The Slytherins sneered at her and she saw loads of people whisper.

Sighing, she plopped on the bench. Dumbie started to wail.

'Oh no,' Lily said. 'Not now, I'm gonna eat now, Dumbie.'

She sighed and reached out to take the baby in her arms. 'What is it?' she said, lulling it to calm it down.

After a few minutes, Dumbie stopped crying. Lily smiled at it. 'There!' She gently placed it in the basket. 'Can I eat now?' she asked him. 'Huh?'

Then she realised she was talking to a doll. 'Okay, I think hunger is getting to my head.'

'Hey Evans!' she heard. Her head swivelled to the Slytherin table. 'I need a babysitter for my little brother, want the job? Oh I forgot...I don't allow Mudbloods in my house.'

And as if that were funny, they laughed at Lucius Malfoy's joke.

'I hate it,' she said through gritted teeth to Lennie as she glared at Malfoy. 'I hate him.'

'Just don't bother,' she replied, squeezing her friend's arm. 'It's no use.'

'You're right,' Lily said sitting upright and putting the basket next to her on the wooden bench. As soon as she put it down, it started to cry again.

Lily took the child. 'What now?' she asked frustrated. 'Change of nappy? Ugh, no, not on the table where I'm gonna eat...Hungry?'

She took the milk bottle and stuffed it into the doll's mouth. Then the doll made sounds like it was drinking. 'So that was it, you were hungry.' Lily said.

After fifteen minutes, the doll had fallen asleep and Lily gently put it back into the basket. At last, she thought. She could not keep ignoring the grumbling of her stomach.

'Done!' she turned back to Lennie and saw that the plates had already filled with food and that they had started to eat. So much for me, Lily thought as she started to serve herself.

'Do you realise that I'll have to take care of it while I eat?...And all the time, actually?' Lily shook her head. 'No more free time, I'll always have to be there and present.'

Lennie shrugged. 'That's what being a mother is about.'

'Please,' Lily told her. 'Next time I tell you I want a child, remind me of this. Oh and next time I want to marry, make sure it is not with James Potter.'

Lennie laughed and looked over Lily's shoulder. 'Speaking of whom,' Lennie jerked her head towards someone behind her. 'Here comes your husband.'

'Lennie, he is not my husband, okay?' Lily hissed.

'Speaking about me?' James grinned sitting next to Lily.

'Ha! Sorry Potter but we have better things to talk about than you,' Lily snapped.

James ignored her. 'So how is the little Monster doing?' James smiled reaching inside the basket and grabbing the doll roughly.

Lily looked at him horrified. 'Potter! No!'

Too late, the doll started wailing.

Lily sat there frozen, glaring at James. This has to be a joke. I have to be hallucinating.

James was desperately trying to make it shut up by waving it in the air and pulling faces. 'Wohoo! Hey shhh...please, Harry, sssshhhhhhh...'

'I had a hard time trying to make him sleep you stupid git!!' Lily said, putting emphasis on each word.

James looked at Lily. 'Oops.'

Lily turned to Lennie. 'Hold me back...Hold me back or I'm gonna murder him,' she said through clenched teeth.

Lennie reached out for her arm and gave her a squeeze. 'Calm down, Lils, violence will lead to nowhere.'

Lily heaved a sighed. 'When Potter's around its hard to keep that in mind." She turned back to James who was still holding the crying doll. 'Do what you have to do, Potter, but make it shut up.'

James looked at her with pleading eyes as the doll wailed and wailed louder and louder. Lily shoved the Baby Kit in his hands and took back her spoon, royally ignoring him.

A few minutes later and the doll was still bawling. Lily ignored it and stuffed a spoonful of pudding in her mouth. There's no way I'm helping him out. Dumbie was perfectly sleeping and he had to go and wake him up!! It's his problem and I'm not helping him...no

After a few minutes, Lennie gave her a gentle shove. 'Hey, you know,' she whispered. 'This crying is becoming very annoying.' She said, rubbing her ear and jerking her head towards James.

'No,' she hissed back. 'I'm not moving. He's got to learn too. I'm not going to do everything myself, will I?'

'Yeah, but you could show him.'

'I don't wanna show him,' Lily protested.

'But you have to if you don't want to do everything yourself.' Lennie told her.

Lily sighed and glanced at James. He had pushed aside the plate and forks and was changing its nappy. Well, at least trying.

He was even having a hard time taking off the nappy off the doll and was catching the attention of everyone as they stopped eating to look at him.

Lily sighed and pushed his hands away, taking the baby in her hands. 'Not on the table where everyone is eating Potter. That's not...hygienic!'

'If you've got a better idea,' James snapped. 'Be my guest.'

Lily reached out and grabbed the pacifier. She stuffed it inside the doll's mouth and it instantly stopped crying.

-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-

Before going to sleep, Lily met James again in the Common Room.

'There!' Lily said. 'Your turn to take care of it. It's been a real angel. I've just changed it, I've fed it all you have to do now is make it sleep again.'

James took the basket Lily was trusting at him and looked at her. 'Make him sleep?'

'Yes, Potter, sleep, babies have to sleep,' Lily said to him. 'I'll take it back in the morning and then you'll have it in the afternoon, okay?'

James nodded, 'Okay,' he said warily.

Lily looked at him and shook her head. 'Oh and have you made a decision about the Godfather of Dumbie?' she asked.

'Harry,' James told her. 'His name is Harry.'

'You call him whatever you like, every mother has a pet name for their child,' Lily told him. 'And instead of just calling it 'Darling' or 'Baby', I'm being original! No one will ever call his child "Dumbie"!'

'I wonder why,' James muttered under his breath rolling his eyes.

Lily ignored him. 'So? About that Godfather?'

'Well, I'm going to take Harry to choose which one he likes best now,' James said putting great emphasis on Harry.

'Okay, whatever. Still meeting Sunday afternoon to plan the Christening, aren't we?'

'Yes, of course, honey,' James smirked.

Lily glared at him. 'Don't make me swear in front of that child, Potter.'

'What did I say?' James asked playing innocent.

Lily ignored him. 'Here is his blanket,' Lily said showing him a gold and red blanket with Harry James 'Dumbie' Potter written just under the Gryffindor logo. 'It will keep him warm all through the night and he'll be happy thinking that his mother made it for him.'

James stared at it. 'You made that?'

'I did!' Lily said brightly.

'Well, it would be better without that "Dumbie" name,' James said taking out his wand. 'Let me fix that.'

'No!' Lily said.

'Yes!' James retorted.

"No you're not!"

"Yes I am!"

Lily shoved the blanket behind her. 'You're not changing anything about this blanket! I made it! Go make yourself another blanket!'

'I will change this.' James insisted, pointing his wand at her. 'Come on, you're not going to let my son sleep in there!'

'Our son, Potter!' Lily said. 'It's our son!'

At that James lowered his wand and that oh-so-detestable-smirk of his appeared. 'You're right. Our son. You know, I'm glad you pointed that out Lily. So, when are we going to work on getting our son a sibling?'

Lily groaned and shoved the blanket in James' hand.

'And don't you dare change what's written on it!' Lily shouted at him before whirling around and walking to the staircase that led to her dorm.

'Or what exactly?' James asked.

'Or you'll be very sorry for having married me in the first place, Potter,' Lily said as she walked up the stairs.
