7. Parents

"Oh, thank Merlin!" Molly's voice reached his ears.

"How is she?" asked Arthur. The rest of the Weasleys stand up. Fred and George took a step forward.

"They are both fine." said a smiling Harry.

"What is it?" asked Charlie eagerly.

"A boy!" answered Harry.

Everyone cheered.

"Congratulations!" said Bill and Fleur.

"Do you want to go see them?" asked Harry.

They nodded. Harry smiled "Room 349 "

They left the reception, some say 'congrats' and others patted his back. After they left he turned to his parents.

"Congratulations" said Remus.

"How did you named him?" asked James hesitantly.

"Did you have to ask that?" said Harry. "Naming the first born after the grandfather is a law for centuries." He answered diplommaticly.

"I know. You just don't look too fond of us these days!"

"Did I ever?" asked Harry.

"What did we do to you to deserve all these?" asked Sirius.

"The right question is 'What you did for me'?" Harry asked back. "Do you even know me?"

Sirius opened his mouth to say something but Lily cut him and said "Of course we do. If not we will get to know you, now!"

"Now? After 24 years?" he asked incredulously.

"What's wrong with now?" asked James.

"You didn't just ask me that. Seriously?"

Sirius opened his mouth but again his was cut. Remus this time. "Don't even think about it. This is not time for your old, lame joke!" he glared at Sirius.

"What? Did you thought that after Alex died you will give all your time to me?" he ignored Sirius. From their faces though he understand that was what they thought. "You are unbelievable! You seriously thought that I will give you a chance? After all those years? And what about Alex? Would you still be here if he didn't die?" he asked raising his voice. "Of course not. You wouldn't even remember that I exist. Or I had left!"

"That's not true!" Lily frown. But she knew deep down he was right.

"You know I'm right, Mother! As for Alex he was an arrogant, bustard, lying brat-who-lived!" he contracted her.

"That's enough!" yelled James. "You can say whatever you want for us but you will never speak like that for Alex. Did you hear me?" he continued his rant.

"I know that the truth hurts, but you need to open your eyes and see what Alex was. And he wasn't perfect. He was far from it."

"Of course he wasn't perfect..." Sirius scold.

"Nobody is" said Remus.

"But that doesn't mean he was lying! Or that he was a bad boy." continued Lily.

"You know what? Forget it. You don't understand. I'm leaving." he turned to leave "Oh! And don't come near me or my family again . Pretend I don't exist. You are good at that." Then he past the doors leaving four gaping people behind.
