Harry woke up on the hard old sofa to the feel of someone poking him, picking up his glasses which were laying on the ground Harry put them on to see a black haired boy staring at him.
"Do you want to go outside and play Quidditch" James asked his bright brown eyes watching him. Harry sat up and looked at the clock for the time which was just past 5.30am the sun wasn't even up and it was chucking it down with rain.
"It's 5:30 in the morning, James" Harry sighed and sunk back down in the sofa pulling the blanket closer towards him.
"So?" James said.
"It's too early to play Quidditch the sun's not even up" Harry said indicating the window.
"So" James repeated looking out the window.
"It's raining" Harry said half asleep
"So" James repeated once again
"Your mum will kill us" Harry said, he didn't not want to get on the wrong side of any of the Weasleys today who were all fast asleep upstairs.
"She doesn't need to know" James said with a hint of mischief in his voice.
"She will find out i guarantee you that" Harry said realising he will get no more sleep this morning.
"Please" James pleaded.
"No because your mum will get angry at you and everyone will get furious at me" Harry said.
"Can i go play outside by myself" James asked walking toward the door.
"No, you cannot" Harry said sternly, the last thing he needed was James getting lost.
"Why not" James said irritated.
"Because you'll freeze to death" Harry said nearly as annoyed as James.
"Not if i wear a coat" James said.
"You'll be blown away" Harry said
"That's the point of Quidditch" James said crossing his arms.
"I said no" Harry said
"Mummy say you used to play quidditch in the middle of the night with her" James said and Harry wondered how much Ginny had actually told James about him.
"Not in the pouring rain, i'll play quidditch later with you ok" Harry said trying to compromise with the 5 year old.
"When is later" James asked walking back over to Harry.
"10am maybe" Harry said.
"10 that's ages away" James said annoyed.
"It's not that far away" Harry protested.
"Yes it is" James said.
"Just go to sleep now" Harry said exhausted.
"Sleeps boring" James said.
"Just go to sleep or i won't play quidditch with you later" Harry said and James reluctantly trudged off to bed.
"Night James" Harry said as James walked up the stairs.
"Night Dad" James said as he disappeared from sight and Harry realised that was the first time anyone had called him dad.

Ginny felt strange being back at her childhood home, being in her childhood bed everything felt different from when she left. Teddy was still stumbling around when he tried to walk when she left but now he was running around with ease, even her brother had settled down and gotten married and had kids of their own. But for a reason she couldn't explain she felt like a stranger to all of them, she could feel their stares on her, judging her for every little thing she did. Harry unlike her brothers wouldn't even look at her, she had hurt him deeply and she knew it would be unlikely for him to ever forgive her. Ginny knew her family would ask her questions and she was prepared to answer them, she knew they would want to know why, why did she come back after 6 years instead of just staying put?.
FLASHBACK
"Mum" James said picking at his dinner.
"Yes, James" Ginny said looking over at her son who was playing with his peas.
"Where's Dad" James asked and Ginny froze, James had not once asked about his dad.
"He's in England, why do you ask" Ginny said panicking, she had not spoken to a single soul about her family.
"Is he in jail, Oscar doesn't see his dad because he's in jail is that why we don't see him" James asked still picking at his dinner.
"No he's not in jail" Ginny laughed at the thought of Harry in Azkaban.
"Then why don't we see him" James asked.
"Do you want to see him" Ginny asked nervously, ignoring James question.
"Yeah" James said with only a slight hesitation, Ginny knew at that moment she should've went home as soon as James was born but she told herself that Harry wouldn't want a screaming baby around so she stayed put. Several years later she convince herself that the last thing Harry would want in his life was a grumpy toddler and someone he had not seen in 3 years, she knew the time would come when James would become curious about his family and ask questions but she believed it to be in the far off future.
"Ok, would you like to meet you uncles and your grandparents" Ginny asked.
"Yeah, yeah" James said enthusiastically
"Well you have to eat all your dinner" Ginny said eyeing the plate in which James had not touched for the past 2 minutes.
"All of it" James said looking down at his plate.
"Yes" Ginny said.
"Half of it" James was as stubborn as his mother and would not give up without a fight.
"All of it" Ginny argued.
"No" James said protesting.
"Yes" Ginny said sighing.
"Nope" James said as he shook his head.
"If you don't eat it you won't get to see anyone" Ginny threatened and James reluctantly ate some of his dinner before leaving the table to go play with his toys. Only then did Ginny realise what she had let herself in for.
