NOTE: I do not own Harry Potter.

and enjoy! (:

Punishment became something very familiar to James. James began to get them two times a day or more. Well, he did until he realized how to use Albus. Soon everytime James would do something that upset Harry or Ginny he would look up at his parents so innocently and say in the most cutest tone, "Awl did it…"and blame everything on his one- year-old brother. Neither of them got into trouble, most of the time, so it was just a harmless little fib. James was so happy to have Albus to blame things on that he was more than happy to find out that Mummy and Daddy was having another child. James couldn't wait to train this child like he did Al. Albus did whatever James said and he was just fine with that. Especially when it came to eating vegetables.

"James Sirius, eat your veggies." Ginny scolded the young two-year-old. James gave her one huge nod and smiled, "Awlwright Mummy." He then, would wait till she turned around to fix her own meal. Once she did he would point at his veggies fiercely and Albus would merrily take them off the plate and eat them. Even though, he disliked them as well. Ginny would be so proud of James when she turned around oblivious to what had actually happened. That was just the way James wanted it to be. He would snicker to himself when he had an extra cookie before bed and Albus did not.

James always had a little pinch of jealously of Albus's eyes still. When people would say to Albus, "Everyone definitely knows you are your father, you look more like him every single day." James would give them a cold stare. He quit throwing fits about everything though. He also quit hurting Albus. Albus was too good of a servant to hurt. He truly was a wondrous servant.

One evening before bedtime James and Albus sat in the living watching their favorite movie while eating their two cookies a piece. Albus had just turned two early that week. James had been three. Ginny was now six months pregnant with the newest addition to the Potters so she was asleep. It was Dad who was watching them. Noticing his Dad leave the room James turned to Albus and placed his hand out so his palm was facing upwards. "Albus cookie now." No please, no thank yous, but Albus still happily handed over one of his two cookies. James ate that cookie with the widest of all smirks knowing he was in control of this house. Well, when Daddy and especially Mummy wasn't around. Life was good.

Three months after that event the whole Potter Clan was in St. Mongos for the birth of the newest child. Harry and Ginny were in the delivery room as Molly and Arthur Weasley watched James and Albus. Sometime within the fifth hours of sitting in the waiting room James had fell asleep in his Grandfather's lap. James was always more connected with his Grandfather than his Grandmum. (Mostly because Arthur gives James more cookies before bed.) Molly had Albus in her lap as he talked about who knew what. Things seemed to be working out for this family well.

A few hours later James woke up. He yawned and rubbed his eyes with his small hands in a fist. He gazed up at the old red-haired man's face with his chocolate brown eyes. He knew immediately it was Grandpa. He let his eyes scan around the room a couple of times before mumbling softly, "Whewe Mummy?" James could now pronounce almost every word except for the ones with R's in them.

Arthur grinned down at his oldest Grandson and said, "She is getting your new sibling buddy." He ruffled James's coal black hair.

James let out a little sigh and laid his head in his hand. His eyes that were usually lively became full of sadness. He typed his fingers, of his free hand, on his small thigh. "She no done yet Gwanpa?" James was a Mommy's boy. Albus got Harry and James was with Ginny. It was just how it all worked out.

Arthur tried not to laugh at the small child. He gave James a tiny shrug before saying, "Well, don't worry James, your Mummy should be done anytime now. Anytime…" Arthur thought it was strange it was taking this long. Maybe the kid just didn't want to come out yet, he thought to himself.

James gave another long sigh before scanning the room again. There weren't many people in the room. Some younger mother and her daughter were in there. But that was all really. Over at the toy section of the room James saw Albus finally. He scouted off Arthur's lap immediately and ran over to Al. Instead of stopping when he got to Al he continued running until he pretty much tackled Albus. "Awlbus!" James giggled happily as he did it. It was the way the three-year-old showed affection.

Having his brother flipped over him Albus's emerald green eyes began to whimper. His eyes widened into a round circle and tears formed in them. James stood up and locked eyes with Albus trying to figure out what was wrong with him. Not understanding what was causing Albus to be hurt, James asked sympathetically, "What's wong Awlbus?"

Albus pointed to the elbow that he had fell on when James flipped over him and whimpered, "Ouch…" That was all he said. James bit his lip a moment before turning around so he was facing Molly and pointed to Albus. "Gwama, Awl is huwt!" He paused for a minute before adding, "Fix him!"

Molly gave James a nod and walked over to the two boys. She kneeled down beside Albus and asked, "What hurts Al?" James didn't let Albus have time to respond, "Awl huwt his elbow!" James touched Albus's elbow making Albus let out a whimper. Molly picked Albus up into her arms and said, "How about you rest some Al?" Al gave her a nod. Molly then took away James's only playmate.

After a few minutes of running in a circle to let out his energy, James ran up to Molly and poked her knee repeatedly. "Awl okay?" He asked after a while. Molly gave James a nod, "Yes, he is fine." James's eyes lit up and he began to jump up and down, "Awl come play with me now!" Albus clapped his hands and grinned as Molly let him down. Right off the bat Al and James were playing James's new favorite game, wrestling. "No one get hurt okay?" Molly told the two boys. Arthur laughed, "That's what they seem to do best though." Both Grandparents began to chuckle.

"James don't hurt Albus." Harry said sternly walking into the room. Without looking up James responded, "I will Daddy." Noticing what he had said he jumped off of Al, who he had pinned to the floor, and ran over into Harry's arms, "Daddy!" Soon after Albus came running to Harry as well with another, "Dwaddy!" Harry hugged them both and kissed their heads, "Whats up boys?" James looked up at Harry and grinned, "Me was beating Al in westing." He gave one huge nod. "I bet you were." Harry chuckled. Arthur and Molly were soon standing next to the lot of three. "Has Ginny had the baby?" Molly asked. Harry let go of James but picked Albus up, mainly because Albus wouldn't let go of him, and smiled, "Yeah, it's a six pound girl." He added after a moment, "You can go in to see them." Molly and Arthur nodded and walked into the hospital room to see their daughter and their newly born granddaughter.

Harry looked at his sons with a grin on his face, "So boys, you ready to see your new baby sister?" Harry prayed Albus wouldn't react to Lily like James had done to Al. He took a deep breath as James nodding his head excitedly and Albus did as well. "Okay then," Harry continued, "Lets go in the room to met her." Harry opened the door and James flew inside. He ran to the bed Ginny was in and tired to climb it.

Ginny peered down at him, "Want help Jamsie?" James quit jumping for just long enough to put his hands on his hips and snap, "No Mummy, me a big boy." Then he was off to trying to climb it again. Ginny laughed at him. Harry walked in and handed Ginny Albus who had wanted her to hold him. Albus hugged Ginny tightly, "Mummy! Mummy! Mummy!" Albus yelled excitedly.

Getting tired, James quit jumping and sat on the floor. He looked around noticing Molly was holding something in her arms. "Pink!" James recognized the color of the blanket and pointed. Harry sat down on the floor next to James and pulled him into his lap. "You know who is in the pink blanket James?" Harry asked. James shook his head no. "It's your baby sister, Lily." James cocked his head to the side and got up from Harry's lap and began jumping to try and see her in Molly's arms. "Wily? Me no see hew." Harry chuckled and picked James up and placed him on the bed next to Ginny. "Okay hold on there, before you tire yourself out." Harry said to James. He walked over to Molly and took his brand new daughter from her and walked back over to James.

"Okay James, I think you are big enough to hold her but you have to do what I say so you do not hurt her okay?" James nodded in agreement. Harry laid Lily on James's chest and directed James's hands around to make sure he was holding her right. "Now make sure you hold your hand behind her head." James looked up at Harry when he said that, "Why?" He asked. Harry chuckled and answered, "Well, because Lily isn't strong enough to hold her head up herself. That's why." James smiled, "Oh okay." James then looked at Lily and giggled, "You weak Wily." Ginny laughed at James's commented so did every other adult.

Noticing the attention James was getting for holding Lily Albus crawled over next to James and studied Lily. After debating for a but about what to do Albus slapped Lily gently on the arm. Lily's eyes began watering and Ginny was getting ready to take Lily away from James.

"No Awlbus! No! Bad!" James scolded his little brother. "Nice to Wily Awl! Nice! She little! You huwt her! Nice!" James leant down and kissed Lily's forehead lightly and grinned. The tears in Lily's eyes vanished when James kissed her. Albus, copying his brother, gave Lily a kiss too. "Wike dat Ames?" Albus asked. James nodded happily. "Yes!" Albus began clapping for himself. Ginny kissed the top of James and Albus's head. Ginny looked over into Harry's eyes and the same thought went through both their heads.

If only James had known all that for Albus's first year of life. Things would have been a lot simpler.

The sound James hated was coming out of Lily. Ginny took her from James and uiushed the crying baby. At that moment , James knew he would have even less attention than before but knew everything would be all right. He knew Ginny and Harry loved him and tried their best to spend as much time with all of them. James looked around the room again. He stopped at the sight of Lily's eyes. They were chocalate brown eyes, like his own. She had puffs of bright red hair on her head. He heard Molly say something like, "Looks so much like her Mummy." James looked at his mother. James had her eyes but not her hair. He looked over at his father. He had Harry's hair but not his eyes. "And Albus looks just like Harry..." Arthur's voice came into James's ear. For the first time ever after hearing that, James did not feel the big evil monster known as jealously inside him, but instead the three, almost four, year old felt happiness as he blurted out, "And James looks wike both, Mummy and Daddy!" That was something that made James feel speacial. Sure Albus looked like Harry and Lily looked like Ginny, but he got the plasure of looking like both of them and nobody could take that away from him. James was James that was all that there was to it. And in his mind he was twice as good as Albus and Lily because he resembled both of their parents something they did not.

James may have not been able to have the eyes of emerald green for himself, but he could protect the one with them and Lily. He could teach them and save them from making mistakes he did. He could effect their whole future help out about how they were going to turn out. He had too didn't he; he was their oldest brother. Their only oldest brother. It was his duty and James took it with pride. He also took the role of beginning king seriously too. It was James's house and things were done James's way. That was final. Well that was if Ginny and Harry weren't around. If they were around it was their house.

-For right now, this is the last chapter. I was going to make it longer to when James was a teenager, but I thought this was a cute and innocent way to end it. I think I am going to write an epilogue about how James and Lily act together when Lily is about three. I am not sure… tell me what do you think? reviews are nice. :)
