"James?" Lily's voice floated through Harry's room where James was playing with his son.
"Yes, flower?"
"Alice is holding a party and she wanted me to baby-sit her son while she prepared for it. The party's at 7 so I'm leaving now."
"Oookaaayy... How does this concern me again?"
Footsteps were heard as Lily stomped up the stairs. She stood at the doorway of Harry's room and glared venomously at her husband.
"Harry should be safe and unscathed both physically and mentally when I get home or else I won't allow you to watch him anymore."
"Of course! Do you think I'm an irresponsible father?"
"Yes, I do. Furthermore, I'm wasting too much time; I have to go soon. So, Sirius is not allowed inside this house, got it?"
Sigh. "Yes, ma'am"
"Good. Bye, love, take care. Mum'll be home soon."
"I love you too, Lily, but I don't think I like calling you mum."
"Not you! I was talking to Harry."
"Oh. Well, bye then."
10 minutes later,
"Sirius, mate, I think you can come out now. "
Sirius Black stepped up from behind a cabinet and let out a low whistle.
"I'm glad I never married. Is she always like this, Prongs?"
"Not always. She's much better in bed."
"Thanks for the information." Padfoot replied sarcastically. His face broke into a grin instantly, though, at the thought of Lily not in the house.
"Let's get the fun started, shall we, Prongs?"
