One year after the appearance of Voldemort's child, Delphi. Harry tries to be a better father to his children. Paying more attention to the three of them, spending more time with his children. Understand them with each other. Even though it wasn't easy to do it all, Harry enjoyed doing it. He realized that after that incident, he didn't pay much attention to his children. The pressure they get because of being his child. Harry understood the feeling.

The night sky was so beautiful it seemed like the day would be fine. The stars twinkled slowly indicating calm. In a simple house, you can see a small tent set up in the yard. A light brown thin cloth was spread in front of the tent with several family members sitting on it. Small smoke rises from the corn they grill using charcoal.

Tonight was Harry's birthday. He and his kids and Ginny camped out outside the house to celebrate. It had been a long time since he had been able to gather with his family because his auror work continued to burden him. Moreover, in recent months there have been continuous attacks in the muggle and wizarding worlds. It is not yet known who is behind it and what its purpose is. Harry, Ron and several of their aurors continued to track the whereabouts of the troublemaker, but they were always quicker to recognize the aurors.

Harry didn't really expect his life to go smoothly. It seemed like he wasn't supposed to be like that. But at least today he could relax because there were no reports or calls for him.

"Dad, is the corn not yet cooked?" Asked a little girl with red hair fluttering behind her. Peeking at his father who had his back to him.

"Wait a minute Lily." His father smiled at him.

Lily pursed her lips impatiently waiting for the corn to cook. He glanced at his two older brothers who were busy playing magic chess. He didn't know what to do.

"Mother." Called Lily looking at the beautiful woman beside her, leaning her head on her mother's chest. Her mother's red hair shone under the moonlight. Her mother stroked Lily's mane gently.

"Yeah, you lost again Al. You have a lot to learn from me." Said the oldest boy cheering mockingly at his younger brother. His younger brother snorted displeasedly, straightening his legs which had been bent.

"Well, at least I'm better than you when it comes to studies." He said in reply to his older brother. He took one of his books and opened it.

"What do you see in there?" James asked, bored of seeing his little brother always carrying books everywhere.

"Knowledge you don't want to understand." He said sarcastically.

James glared at his brother and turned his gaze towards his father.

"Dad I want to help." He said taking over some corn and taking another fan. Today they use muggle techniques so everything is manual.

James faced Harry while the charcoal grill was in the middle of the two. James fanned his corn which was emitting thick smoke. He deliberately fanned the smoke towards his father, making Harry cough. Harry moved sideways to avoid him.

"James!" Harry said glaring at his son.

"Sorry dad." James said laughing at his father's annoyed face.

Harry's annoyed face turned into a small grin, he waved his fan harder at James until James' face couldn't be seen due to the cloud of smoke. Ginny could only shake her head at the behavior of her eldest child and her husband.

Harry threw his fan and knocked James onto the grass behind him. Tickling his child's body.

"Dad is ticklish." said James squirming trying to get away from his father.

"Feel, who told you to prank me."

"Mother, please."

Harry still didn't let go until Ginny warned him.

"Harry!" Ginny said in a gentle tone.

"Okay, okay." Harry said with a chuckle as he sat down next to the grill. James sat back down and picked up his thrown fan.

Harry took the cooked corn and gave it to his children and Ginny. They enjoyed it while telling stories about the things their children did at Hogwarts. Like James telling his jokes with Peeves and his Quidditch. Albus told some of his discoveries in the book he read. Lily showed off her friend's gift of a muggle game. So much laughter and happiness that night. Without them realizing the problems that will come at any time.

After 12 o'clock at night they all slept in tents. This tent looks small from the outside but is very spacious inside. Even though there were several mattresses inside, they decided to sleep downstairs with mattresses pushed together so they could sleep together. Harry was flanked by James and Albus while Ginny was flanked by Albus and Lily.

"Good night all." Ginny said while kissing her children.
