James's awoke to find only his Grandparent's were still there. Grandma Molly was holding Albus in her arms cooing over the infant. James let a tired smile enter his face. Ginny peered down at James and grinned, "You well rested, love?"
Her voice warmed the one-year-old's body. He nodded and put on his most lively grin. He hugged his Mother tight and then snuggled up next to her. Harry glimpsed at James then smiled at Ginny. Molly was still awing over Albus.
"You are so handsome you know that Al." Molly cooed. "Ever so handsome. You look just like your Daddy with your beautiful eyes. You have a strong life ahead of you."
James listened to his Grandma. He frowned a bit when she repeated how Albus looked like Harry. James looked like Harry too. Why wasn't she saying that? A brand new feeling erupted in James for the first time. This will soon be a well-known feeling for the boy-jealousy. James slid off the bed and stumbled over to his Grandma. He tugged on her flowered dressed.
"You are even born in the same month as your Daddy, yes you are." Molly kept complimenting the boy until she felt small tugs on her dress. She grinned down at James. "Hmm?"
"Me wook wike Daddy too." James said.
This made everyone in the room chuckle a bit. Not understanding why they were laughing James looked around with his round eyes from person to person to person. A small frown stretched itself onto his face and he backed away a bit.
"Wa funny?" He asked curiously.
"We know you look like your Daddy, James. You don't need to tell us that." Molly said to her grandson. "I'm just making your brother feel good." Molly assured James.
"Me too." James complained.
Arthur piped in and spoke,"You need to feel good to boy?"
James gave one huge nod.
Harry laughed at his son and kneeled down next to him. "You are very handsome too." Harry told the frowning boy.
"Fank yoo." James grinned as he hugging Harry.
Harry hugged James back and kissed his head lightly. "How about you go play with some of your toys now?" Harry asked picking James up off the ground and carrying him over to the bag of toys that Ginny and Harry brought for him.
"Twoys! Bwang! Bwang!" James squealed.
Harry placed James on the floor again by the bag and unzipped it. He then dumped out some of James's toys. James went straight for his favorite one, which was a muggle toy. It was a toy racecar. It was red and blue and had a white number painted on each side of it: 15. Harry walked over to Ginny and sat next to her as James began to play making all sort of noise.
Molly handed Albus over to Arthur. Arthur chuckled at Albus as Al squirmed around in his arms. Every now and again Arthur would say, "Where you heading boy?" or "What you think you're doing." James would look over at the adults everytime someone said something thinking they were talking to him. No one was though. Everyone was back to paying attention to Albus.
James put down his toys and walked over to the center of the crowd again and asked, "Woo wans to pway wif me?"
"Not now Jamie." Ginny said tiredly. "Everyone is sleepy."
That was the accuse for whenever no one wanted to play. Being tired was something James understood so he nodded and went back to his toys. Every few moments though James would ask again and he received the same response. James wasn't to fond of this new boy in his family. Not at all.
Everyone kept on talking about Albus and Emerald Green or something. James didn't understand at that point of what they meant by Emerald Green but he still disliked it. He wanted the spotlight on him not his brother. He folded his arms and sat down on the floor. He was getting reckless now and desperate for his family's attention. James took a toy car of his and threw it into the air. It hit smack in the middle of sleeping Albus's head.
"Whoops." James muttered innocently. Normally that would get him out of trouble but now things were different and James was going to be introduced to rules and discipline. Two things he would totally rebel against later in his life.
"James Sirius Potter!" Ginny and Harry both yelled in unison. Ginny took Albus from her father and Harry walked over to James.
James looked up at his father, who was towering over him. He backed away slowly. He tried to make himself invisible. The look on Harry's face scarred him and made him realize he wasn't going to be getting away with things any more. James smiled weakly up at Harry but Harry just shook his head.
Harry knelt down to James level. James looked into his dad eyes and stood still.
"James you do not throw toys. You know that. You could have seriously injured Albus. You are his big brother you need to protect him. Do you understand me?" Harry said strictly.
James looked around the room and didn't reply. It cut into Harry short temper from tiredness.
"James Sirius answer me now. Do you understand what I just said?" He asked in a powerful voice.
"Yes." James swayed back and forth. "No fowing twoys."
"Good." Harry said. He got up and started turning away. James picked up another toy and threw it lightly on the ground to test his father.
Harry turned around and gave James a warning glare; James backed away and understood exactly what Harry meant. Harry's glare turned into a smile as he sat back down by Ginny.
James picked up his toy and stopped when he saw sight of Albus. Whatever emerald green was, James was despising it. He was not fond Albus. Albus needed to be gone and fast.
