Madam Pomfrey wasn't pleased either and lectured them on how they should have come to her first. James had to point out that there was a tiny problem of the crowd getting in the way and enabling Lockhart to beat them to it. He sat beside Harry by his bedside who gave him a worried, helpless look as he held his hand.

"Son, you'll get through this. You'll be alright," James put his arm around Harry and stroked his hair as his son leaned into his chest.

"Your father's right Harry. We're here for you," Sirius also sat beside Harry and put his arm on his shoulder.

"Madam Pomfrey will have you fixed in no time," said Remus, joining them on the bed.

Ron and Harry argued with Hermione about Lockhart since she continued to defend him. James hoped she would eventually get over her infatuation with Lockhart and see him for the phony that he was.

Madam Pomfrey returned with a bottle of Skele-Gro after Harry had changed into his pyjamas.

Harry squeezed James's hand with a painful look on his face when he swallowed the Skele-Gro. He did his best to comfort his son as Ron, Hermione, Sirius and Remus all scurried to help Harry gulp down some water.

They were all pondering how the bludger got fixed when the rest of the Gryffindor team showed up to see Harry with plenty of treats. What looked like it was going to be a small hospital party was quickly shut down by Madam Pomfrey who asked everyone to leave.

"I'm staying with my son," said James.

"I'm afraid I can't allow that ," said Madam Pomfrey.

"Why not?" He crossed his arms.

"Because we don't usually allow anyone including parents to stay overnight unless it's a severe case. As distressing as your son's situation is, he isn't in a severe state needing parental care. He's perfectly fine under my care," she said.

James pressed his lips and took a few deep breathes, his arms still remaining crossed. "But Madam Pomfrey …"

"Dad, it's alright. I'll be be fine," said Harry reassuringly.

He knew that his son would have preferred him staying but didn't want to make a fuss or have rules bent for him.

"Alright Harry," he relented. "I'll see you tomorrow alright? Owl me or have someone do it if you need anything. I love you," he kissed Harry's forehead.

"Alright. I love you too dad," Harry hugged him.

After exchanging goodbyes, they all left Harry alone with a heavy heart.

Sirius read and reread the piece of parchment in front of him. He bit his lips and furrowed his brows, unsure if he was doing the right thing.

Dear Draco,

Do not be disheartened by the Quidditch match and do not listen to your father if he tries to make you a failure for it. It had nothing to do with your lack of skill but more of luck. You could have won just as easily. I'm in no way taking away my nephew's victory and am glad it was him who won, but I had to write as I know how it feels to have parents to who scorn any less than victory.

Cousin Sirius.

Sirius didn't actually think Draco could win over his Harry and hated that he had to write that, but some manipulation was needed to get through to that boy. He had committed to try taking on the boy as a project and decided to stick to it. Folding the parchment, he tied it to his owl and sent it Draco Malfoy's way. James, Remus and Miranda had been skeptical when Sirius had told them of his desire with Draco Malfoy but were nevertheless supportive and hoped for the best outcome.

After about an hour, his owl returned with a reply. Sirius quickly opened it.

Sirius Black,

I'm not sure if I should be owling you. I don't think my father would like this. I don't even entirely understand why you owled me. But nevertheless I appreciate you acknowledging that your nephew won due to his luck rather than being more skilled than I am. If I'm being honest, it actually made me feel better.

Draco.

Sirius sighed exasperatedly but felt himself smiling when he felt two arms around him.

"Draco replied?" asked Miranda.

"Yeah," he handed the owl to her as she read through it.

"Sweetheart, this is just the beginning. I'm sure he'll eventually come around," she said encouragingly.

"I know. And I realize that I chose to take on this suicide mission and should probably have more patience to see it's results, but it's still frustrating to deal with that boy".

"I understand sweetheart. But you'll feel better when you focus on the finishing line over the roadblocks in between and I trust you'll succeed." She cupped both his cheeks.

"You're right," Sirius put his arm around Miranda and kissed her forehead.

Harry had been awakened by Dobby to find out it was him who closed the barrier to Platform Nine and Three Quarters two months ago and confunded the Bludger to go after him. He had to resist the urge to strangle the house elf. This was even harder when Dobby said it was to "protect" him. Dobby refused to divulge more other than telling Harry that the Chamber of Secrets existed and that he had to leave to which Harry was confused as he wasn't in danger from the Chamber as a half-blood. Harry refused to leave Hogwarts especially when his muggle-born best friend would be in danger. Once Dobby had left, the staff including Dumbledore and McGonagall came in with a petrified Collin Creevey, the next victim of the Chamber. Harry who was pretending to be asleep overheard them confirming what Dobby had said about the Chamber.

After Harry had been released from the Hospital Wing the next day, he found Ron and Hermione brewing the Polyjuice Potion in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom and filled them in on last nights events.

James sighed exasperatedly as he paced up and down the front door of Sirius and Miranda's apartment. It had been ten minutes and they still weren't home after asking him to come over immediately for an announcement. He had stupidly left his copy of their key at home. Just then, a blonde hair, blue eyed girl walk towards him.

"Alright Jenny? They called you for their announcement too?"

"Yeah. Said it couldn't wait," she said and they exchanged a fleeting hug.

"How's Harry? Has his arm recovered?"

"Yes. No thanks to that moron, Lockhart"

"He might have …" she began but fell silent at his look. "Sorry. I promise. No more blind defending of Lockhart facilitated by my hormones."

James chuckled. "Thank you. What happened to your hand?" he narrowed his eyes to the bandage on her left palm.

"My nephew. Had to babysit the little monster," Jenny explained.

"Come Jenny. He's only five. He might be a little mischievous but monster is little harsh, ain't it?"

"He bit me when I tried to stop him from using my wand. And bad enough to leave this," she held up he hand. "It would take a day for it to heal."

"Yikes" James gritted his teeth.

"Not funny," she said at his amused look.

"Sorry. I do sympathize but ..." he began but was cut off by Sirius and Miranda arriving with a large bottle of orange crunch and a large box of chocolates.

"Is Remus here yet?" asked Sirius as they exchanged greetings.

"I'm here," came his voice.

Soon they were seated on the sofa with Sirius and Miranda looking gleefully at their three guests.

"Come on Pads, don't leave us hanging. What's your announcement?" asked James.

Sirius and Miranda exchanged smiles before turning towards them and saying "We're pregnant"

Jenny squealed as Miranda and her jumped into each other. Squealing aside, James himself was no less enthusiastic as he practically pounced on his best friend.

"Congratulations mate!" James exclaimed. "I'm really happy for you".

"Thanks mate". They gave each other once last squeeze and pat before letting go of each other.

They continued taking turns exchanging hugs before settling on the couch and celebrating with their orange crush and box of chocolates. Orange crush was their favorite fruit drink that couldn't rival any other ordinary orange juice they've tried.

"Wish Harry was here to celebrate. But we'll send him an owl soon," said Sirius.

"He'll feel like he's becoming a big brother," said James.

"Harry's technically this baby's godbrother since Sirius is his godfather," said Remus.

"True," they agreed.

Guys, I have to say that one reason that I'm considering James and Jenny is because in every Lily lives fanfic I've seen, she always marries Snape or someone else, and I'm like "Oh yeah, Lily, if you're going to be that way, then James can be too". But of course I haven't decided yet and am considering the fact that most fans seem against it.
