CHAPTER TWO: THE TODDLER

Harry laughed, "James could you please give it a rest? Either Remus or I am going to be the person who teaches Harry to talk! The thing we decided you would teach him is to play Quidditch!"

"But Lily! I don't want his first word to be mum! I want it do be something awesome like Dad or Quidditch or bludger or something!"

CRACK

"Did I miss anything?" Sirius Black had just entered the room. "Harry! Hows my little bludger?" Harry just made his little baby noises.

"We are trying to teach him to talk but Lily only wants to teach him 'sensible' words! Like quidditch isn't sensible!'

CRACK

"Doesn't anyone use the front door anymore?" askd Lily rhetorically before storming out of the room.

"Hey, what are you doing?" asked Remus Lupin looking around curiously from the back of Lily disappearing into another room and James and Sirius standing around Harry.

"WellI was trying to teach Harry to talk and now Lily is a bit mad at me for some strange reason!" exclaimed James confusedly

" Don't worry 'bout it mate, just giver her a present it always helps!" said Sirius, demonstrating his knowlege of women.

"Why don't we teach him to talk with sensible words as a present to her?" suggested Remus

James groaned. Siruis meanwhile didn't mind and actually levitated harry across the room into his High Chair.

"Ok Harry can you say mum MM UH MM"

"NOOO Moony! Harry say quidditch; CW I DD I T CH"

"Your both wrong, Harry say D O G"

Harry opened his mouth and ... burped.

"JAMES AND SIRIUS I AM TRYING TO DO YOU A FAVOUR! SO IF YOU DONT SHUT UP I WILL CURSE YOU INTO OBLIVION!" barked Remus.

"Sheesh Remus get over it, Sirius and I will come back when Harry can talk then. See ya!"

"Well that is that. Come on Harry say MM UUH MM!"

Harry again opened his mouth. He said... Cwiddy!

Remus almost screamed in fustration. Harry, who seemed to get quite scared accidentley magicked a big barrel of water to fall on Remus's head.

Remus, dripping wet, looked reproachfully at Harry."Hey,"He said. "I don't think I deserved that when you are the one who is going to make your mummy very unhappy! Now say mum!"

"Cwiddy." Remus sighed. "Well James will be pleased."

James was whooping in delight! "WoopWoop! Harry can almost say Quidditch!

Lily was a bit upset, although she still took the news much better the James had anticipated. James also decided to throw a party to celerate. He invited all the Weasleys,Sirius,Remusand the Patils, whose mother was Lily's best friend.

The part was going well. All the women were talking inthe kitchen, the men were talking outside and the children were playing in the lounge room. Fred and George Weasly were showing off because they had got new toy brooms. Padma and Parvati Patil went over to try and grab the brooms of them but they fell down on top of Fred and George. Harry laughed, and said "Cwiddy "and Ron laughed too and said "BaBa Boo." Parvati however, started to cry and being a young witch, acidently turned the broomsticks into spiders which scared her even more, causing her to make such a racket that Ron, Harry and Padma started to cry. Molly, Lily and Leanne (Parvati's and Padma's mum) rushed into the lounge room each picking up their children. The noise gradually began to cease. Sirius was once again demonstrating his knowledge by saying " If you hsve done something wrong, simply make your child cry to distract your wife so she doesnt notice!"
