"Sirius! Could you please be a man while around my newborn baby?" Screamed a much frazzled Lily Potter holding a small boy with green eyes and jet black hair. She was in St. Mungos and Sirius and Remus had come to see their best friend, James's new boy.

"Right, sorry Lily" said Sirius who had turned into back into a man.

"Chill honey," said James, "Harry may as well get use to a big black dog being around because his god father is one.

"Yes well you guys better be off because I am going home to day and I want to see a clean house!"

All of the men looked at each other. Out of James happiness of being a dad He, Sirius and Remus had had a men's night with a lot of butterbeer. In short they had trashed the house a bit with dog hair everywhere and a small scorch mark on the roof where a Fabulous Filibuster non heat wet start firework had accidentally gone off.

"We'll sort of meet you home with an awesome surprise" said James glancing around the room before hurrying off with Remus and Sirius.

When they were at James house in Godric's Hollow they stared guiltily around the room.

"Well" said Remus rather briskly, "not very hard to clean up," and with one long sweeping movement of their wands the three men had transformed the room into its former state. Just as Lily walked into the room holding Harry bundled up in a blue blanket.

"Well at least it's clean now" she sighed.

When Harry was in his cot Lily, James, Sirius and Remus sat down in the kitchen with Lily lecturing them on being responsible adults. Remus was sort of paying attention but James and Sirius just leant backwards casually on their chairs grinning lazily and casually levitating various object around the kitchen. Lily then just stood up sighed and went out to Harry.

"James," asked Remus, "do you know how to be a parent?"

" Sure" replied James love your kid, feed it treat it good and make sure it can play quidditch." Sirius sniggered loudly.

"Well I suppose you are TECHNICALLY right prongs."

"Man I just love to hear you say that" Moony laughed.

"Yea say it again, come on" sniggered Sirius. Remus just suppressed a smile and suggested they go down to the leaky cauldron to meet up with Arthur who had had a kid a few months ago. "Yeh ok I'll just pop up to tell Lily while Padfoot can you put your head in the fire and tell Arthur?"

"No Prob."

Meanwhile upstairs

"James, I can't let you take Harry."

"But Lily I want to show him off"

"Sorry James I'm having friends over in a few minutes and I suppose it would be better if you took the boys and went out." "Fiiiine. Love you Hun," and with that he left.

Meanwhile downstairs Sirius had his head in the fire and was chatting to Molly Weasly, asking whether good old Arthur was able to meet them at the Leaky Cauldron in 5 minutes.

"I think so Sirius dear." Said Molly Arthur's red headed wife.

5 minutes later 4 men were walking into the dim interior of the Leaky cauldron. "I'm am so stoked at being a dad, Arthur," Said James to Arthur,

"Mmm, the novelty soon wears of and your lady gets really irritable," replied Arthur knowledgably.

"James, do you really think it is going to be smooth sailing?" Questioned Lupin. "Sure how could it no be?" Remus Sighed.

"You'll see."
