Title: A Little Piece of Advice
Character/s: Harry, Albus, Ginny, Lily, James II
It was family night in the Potter household. Around the coffee table sat five figures, each taking turns asking questions to the others. It was something that Harry and Ginny had started as newly-weds, when they hadn't know that much about each other, and it had become a family game after a young James exclaimed that he wanted to join in as well. There was only one rule in the game, and that was that you had to answer truthfully.
Currently, it was the last question of the night, and Lily was up. She glanced at her father and said, "What was the best advice you've ever received?"
Harry frowned slightly in thought.
"I would have to say the best I've received was from your grandfather, Arthur," He said, smiling at the confused looks on his children's faces. "He said, 'Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.'"
Harry received three flat stares. He raised his hands in defense.
"What? It was a great piece of advice! It's helped me through some tough situations both in the past, and now."
"Sure, Dad," Albus said sarcastically. "We all know that you're totally not biased or anything because you like Grandpa the best."
The three of them got up go to bed, while Harry stared mournfully after them. "Why must they criticise me so much?"
Ginny rolled her eyes at her overdramatic husband.
