"Lily!" Petunia squealed and hugged her sister. "Happy anniversary!" She said and Lily smiled.

"Thanks Petty." She said and ushered, Petunia and Dudley inside, Vernon cautiously walked behind, not having very good experience with magic.

As they walked into the lounge, Petunia gasped and Lily looked up to see Harry and Draco making out on the couch

"Harry James Potter!" She barked and they jumped apart. "I thought I told you to go get ready!" She said and Harry stood up. He ran off and Dudley followed. "Draco. Go home." Lily said and Draco blushed and apparted away.

As they got to Harry's room, Dudley closed the door behind him and sat on Harry's bed as Harry striped off his robes for muggle clothes.

"Cuz, what happened?" He asked as Harry picked up the suit off the bed in his boxers.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked and Dudley poked the layer of fat still on Harry's stomach.

"This! You used to be so thin!" He said and Harry sighed.

"It's complicated."

"Well, you'd better lose it, don't want you looking like this!" He said poking his own belly.

"Yeah, yeah!" Harry said as he put on his tie.

"Your third?" Petunia asked Lily as she watched her play with Crosby in the restaurant.

"No, two are more than enough for me, Crosby is my grandson." She said and Petunia, Dudley and Vernon's eyes all travelled over to Harry, who blushed and looked down at his plate.

"Who's the mother?" Petunia asked her nephew and he didn't answer. "Oh, did she dump him on you?" Harry shrugged.

"You could say that." He said and Petunia stood up after nodding slightly.

"I have to go to the bathroom." She said and after nodding at Lily, stood up and followed.

"I'm going for a walk" Vernon stated and got up and left the restaurant. Leaving Harry, Dudley, James, Sirius, Remus and Peter sitting at the table.

"Man, and I thought you couldn't get any weirder. But in 3 years, it's gotten worse than I thought!" Dudley said shaking his head

"What's so weird?" Harry asked.

"Well, you're gay, you have a son, and then of course there's all the weight you've put on." Harry tensed. "When did you start putting on? You know sport can get rid of it easily." He said and Lily, coming back from the bathroom sat down.

"My weight is none of your business, as is my sexuality and my son. So keep your nose out of where it doesn't belong or I'll hex it off your ugly face next time!" Harry said and Sirius had to turn his laugh into a cough.

"When did you grow a backbone? You have changed!" He said and got up to go to the bathroom.

"And you're still the same stupid ass you were in Primary school." Harry said picking at his food.

"Harry! There's no need to be rude!" Lily scolded.

"Like Dudley's any size to be picking on my weight. I'm doing my best to lose it, there's no need for anyone to rub it in." He said and Sirius starting to turn blue from the lack of air stopped Lily replying.

It seemed awfully quiet that night in the manor, while James was preparing a 'surprise' for Lily, he had shooed her out the room. As she walked past Harry's door she heard a sad sigh and decided to investigate.

She entered room and saw Harry looking miserable, lying on the bed watching some sad muggle romance movie. Lily sat down on the edge of the bed and Harry switched the tv off with the remote, but otherwise, he didn't move, his head, upside down and off the edge of the bed and his eyes focusing directly on the set.

"One year, one entire year." He said sadly after a few minutes.

"One year for what?" She said.

"One year since my world turned upside down." He said.

"Oh, that whole Sirius thing," She said and Harry nodded. "Well, something good came out of it, didn't it?"

"Yeah, I don't know how I'm going to be able to go to school at the end of the month, he's only a few months old and already means more than any man ever will." He said and Lily stroked his hair.

"We all have to part with them sometime or another," She said.

"Sure, and it took you at least 5 months before we could leave him with Sirius." James said from the doorway.

"We did leave him before, but then he took him on that awful thing. Even you weren't happy when he tookhimon his motor bike." Lily replied and James laughed.

"Are you ready for your surprise?" He asked and she nodded.

"Just give me a minute." She said. "Night Harry, cheer up."

"Yeah, night mum." He said and she kissed his forehead before walking towards the door. "And mum," Harry added, sitting up. "Use a silencing charm please." He smiled and Lily laughed and left the room.

Harry sighed and got up before getting up and sitting on the ledge by his window and staring out into the dark moonlight sky.

It wasn't long before the moans and screams started coming from the direction of his parents room and he sighed, thankful that Jack had charms on his room so he could be heard if he cried but couldn't hear anything outside his room. A few seconds later, a cry sounded and Harry swore under his breath, remembering that the charm had not been put on Crosby's room.

"Keep it down in there!" He shouted as he left his room before hurrying to his son's room.

He picked up the crying baby and held him on his shoulder, rocking him and singing until the cries turned into small whimpers.

He sat for a half-hour, Harry was still busy trying to get him to sleep, but Crosby seemed to refuse now that he was awake.

"You're being difficult tonight aren't you?" He said and the small baby just blinked at him with his wide grey eyes. "Your Grandma's probably going to kill me for this, but anyway. I'll show you what I do when I can't sleep." He said and picked up the baby blanket out the crib before wrapping it round him.

He silently carried Crosby downstairs and to the indoor Qudditch pitch on the ground floor, which resembled the beauty of the Hogwarts, with the exception of reinforced glass windows that were charmed to let a gentle breeze blow through them but not too much, surrounding it.

He went to the large walk in cupboard and opened it, Crosby sneezed at the dust. Harry held his face away and Crosby buried it into his shoulder, something he had picked up and seemed to do whenever he wanted to show affection to his 'mother'.

Harry picked up his broom and took off from the ground, Crosby tensed and Harry held him tightly. After a minute he removed his face from Harry's shoulder, looking at his surroundings.

Harry flew around slowly and Crosby's eyes started to close. After a few more minutes he fell asleep and Harry smiled as he looked at him, it was hard to believe almost three months ago, he had actually given birth to him. It was even harder to believe it had been exactly a year ago that he had been conceived.

"I love you baby, I love you so much already I don't know what I'd do without you." He said and Crosby snuggled up closer to him.

"Life just doesn't get much better than this." He thought.

"Harry James Potter!" Harry's eyes snapped open, the light almost blinding him. "What do you think you are doing out here?" Lily scolded.

"I must have fallen asleep." He said, looking around at the familiar scene of the Qudditch pitch. His arms ached and he looked down to see Crosby sleeping peacefully in his arms, his soft black hair falling gently into his face, creating an even more adorable than usual look. Lily must have seen him too because she gasped and Harry received a slap to the back of the head.

"You went flying with your son!" How could you be so irresponsible?" She said angrily, raising her voice slightly but obviously not wanting to wake Crosby

"It was just to put him to sleep last night!" He argued and Lily helped him up before they went to the kitchen, where James was trying not to burn the bacon while keeping Jack from knocking his food over as he tried to feed himself.

Lily came in and took over cooking to James's relief. He took Crosby from Harry's aching arms.

"He's still asleep? Usually he's awake by now, isn't he?" James asked

"Your son took him out flying last night!" Lily exclaimed from the stove.

"Really? How'd he like it?" James asked, earning himself a slap on the ear.

"He liked it! He was asleep in like 10 minutes." Harry said. "I used to think he was paying me back, now I know it." He added.

"What do you mean?" James asked.

"Well, remember when we found out I was pregnant? It just started to become obvious then, the mood swings increased 10-fold" Harry said

"Who could forget?" James thought.

Flashback

James looked up from his daily prophet as Harry walked into the kitchen snivelling and his eyes bloodshot.

"Are you alright Harry?" He asked and Harry glared at him

"Do I look alright?" He snapped.

"Well, I was just asking." James said and Harry burst into tears.

"Why do you have to snap at me?" He asked, running from the room and Lily and James looked at each other.

"Mood swings." They both sighed before going to look for Harry.

End flashback

"Well, it was also that day that I unfortunately had to give up flying. Coincidence, I think not." Harry said

At that moment, Crosby woke up and gave a yawn from James's arm. Lily and Harry watched in amusement as James cooed over him and made all sorts of baby noises until Crosby started squirming away after spotting his mother across the table.

James looked disappointed as Harry took Crosby and immediately calmed him down before taking him upstairs.

"It's hard to believe there was once a time when he when he was that small" James said and Lily nodded....
