A/N: I know the last chapter was a very very short one. I'm sorry. I still do hope you review this chapter. Thanks a lot!
A picture was taped on top of a book called The Quidditch Times: a Seeker's Secret. On top of book, he looked intently at the picture. It must've been taken when he was a lot younger. His father was holding him with his mother beside his father. They were waving back at James and they seemed so happy. He looked at what his mother was holding and James's eyes widened. A Quidditch Cup…it can't be that my parents were…James quickly pulled off the picture and reread the book title. They were Seekers?
It turned out to be a sleepless night. James stared at the ceiling. He couldn't believe that his parents were Seekers and they seemed to have forgotten to mention it, although this was just his guess, but he figured out he'd probably be right anyway. James turned on his bed and sighed. He closed his eyes when he heard footsteps coming towards his room.
"Is he awake?" whispered Harry. Ginny shook her head. Harry walked over to James's bed. He bent over to stroke his hair. "He looks awfully tired. The day must be one heck of a day for him. Happy birthday, son." Ginny pulled up James's covers. Harry looked around. His eyes lay on the photo album. "Look Ginny," he hissed.
Ginny kissed James's forehead and walked to wear Harry was pointing to. "It's an album," she said in a low voice. "I remember these photos. They were taken by Colin, weren't they?" James's ears perked up. Ginny flipped through the photo album. "Colin would've been a good wizard. I remember on our first year, how he bravely took those photos of the basa-"
Harry placed a finger on his lips. Ginny nodded. She put the photo album on its original place and took one last look at James before leaving the room. James opened his eyes and sat up. He walked towards his desk and picked up the photo album. Who was the Colin they were talking about? Then he remembered the letter. He reread it and found out that Colin was Denis's late brother.
James took the photo album and looked at the photos once more. He was happy to see his parents when they were about his age. They both looked so vibrant and adventurous. All James wanted was to know more of what his parents were like. He couldn't wait to get to Hogwarts. He couldn't wait to find out about his parents' past. James fell asleep as he held the photo album to his chest.
"James, get dressed. We're heading to Diagon Alley today," said Harry as he saw James rubbing his eyes and coming down the stairs. At this, James ran back upstairs and slammed the door excitedly. Harry smiled at Ginny. "I can't believe it's time to buy him his wand already. Seems like yesterday when I was still changing his gravy diapers," he said.
Ginny giggled. "Oh yes, I have to agree with that." She placed the toast in front of Lily and Albus who were already dressed by now. "Now you two be very obedient to your father. I won't be able to go with you this morning. I'll meet you at Diagon Alley this afternoon. If I hear one word from your father again like the last time you went out without me, I will put bars on your window," she warned.
Harry began bursting with laughter. Ginny looked at him sternly. Harry tried to compose himself saying. "I'm sorry, dear. I just couldn't help it. I just remembered something your mother told Ron," he said, still laughing.
Lily looked up. "What did Granny tell Uncle Ron, Daddy?" she asked, intrigued. She had not yet seen his father laugh so hard in weeks. "Daddy, come on. It's just a simple question. What did Uncle Ron do to make Granny warn him like that?"
"That is none of your business, Lily," snapped Ginny. She looked even more sternly at Harry. She bent down and kissed Harry on the cheek. "You best keep your mouth shut," she whispered to his ear as she collected Harry's plate.
James came down the stairs buttoning his shirt. "I'm ready," he announced. He sat on the chair and began eating breakfast. Albus watching him quickly gobble up his food. James does bring the word disappear into reality when he's excited in finishing breakfast.
"Time to go," said Harry as he kissed Ginny. "Lily, you hold my hand. I don't want you getting lost in the crowd. Say good-bye to your mother now." The three children kissed and hugged their mother good-bye before heading to Diagon Alley with their father.
As the Potters walked along Diagon Alley, some turned to stare at them. Harry walked faster, hoping that the kids wouldn't notice. They went straight to Gringotts first.
"Harry Potter," a raspy voice said. Harry turned and saw a goblin looking at him. Harry smiled. The goblin nodded pleasantly. "We've heard what you've done, for Griphook. It's been a while since we last saw you, though we still haven't forgotten…"
Harry nodded again, hoping that the goblin would stop. "We were off to buy Hogwarts things for my eldest son. Can you show us to our vault? Potter, Harry. That Vault," he said.
The goblin nodded and got the key for Harry. He rode on the cart with them and headed for the vault. When it was opened, James, Albus, and Lily couldn't stop staring at the gold that was all over the place. Harry simply got the amount of money that they needed to buy James's things and called the children, though he remembered himself having the same facial expression when Hagrid first came with him.
"Let's see now. I think we'll go for James's robes first," said Harry. He accompanied James to get his robes done. Lily and Albus trailed behind them, making sure that they wouldn't get lost. Harry looked around at all the children. Most were probably starting their first year at Hogwarts in September. After fitting for a robe, Harry and the three children went back into the street. More people are now walking about. "Now let's go to Ollivanders next," Harry said.
Before they reached Ollivanders, someone called out, "It's Potter!" Harry rolled his eyes. He nodded at everybody who looked at him, which was almost everybody who heard the call, whoever made it. Harry could tell that James was now very suspicious.
