2015
It had been a long hard day. Harry had had to deal with a ton of paperwork, not to mention a new lead which turned out to be a complete disappointment. He was tired and irritable by the time he was able to leave the office.
It had been a long hard day. Ginny had had to sort out several fights, and tell James off because he refused to come in from the Quidditch field. She had an article due the next morning, and had simply no idea where the day had gone.
But, that evening, it seemed as though all irritation had been forgotten. It was just a normal evening. Harry sat with Lily on his lap, reading to her from The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Albus and James were playing Wizard Chess in the corner, surprisingly quietly.
Ginny was busy mending a hole in one of James' shirts, was leaning against Harry, her head quite comfortable against his shoulder. She listened to the smooth tone of his voice as it unfolded the familiar words. It was almost like a lullaby.
Harry finished the story, and gave his little girl a kiss on the nose. He looked at Ginny, to see her fast asleep on his shoulder. He didn't have the heart to wake her.
