Part Five

Lily really should have known it would happen. And she wasn't surprised. Really, she was more amused than anything that the Marauders seemed to all be trying to get Harry to say their name as his first word.

"Come on Harry, say Padfoot!"

"No, Harry, say Peter! Pe-ter."

"Harry don't listen to those barbarians, prove your Potter loyalty, say Daddy!"

She and Remus just sat back and watched the show. It was hilarious, because Harry, while clearly paying attention to all of them, was flat out refusing to cooperate.

And then.

"Moony!"

Dead silence.

"What did he- Harry! What did you just say?" James looked from Remus to Harry to Lily and back to Harry.

"Moony!" Harry repeated, a proud smile on his face. "Moony Moony Moony Mooooooony."

"Awww," Remus said, looking vaguely teary. "Good boy, Harry."

"Ohhhh Harry! Why am I surprised? Of course you say the name of your real father first..."

"JAMES HARRY IS NOT REMUS'S SON FOR THE LOVE OF MERLIN GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!"

Again, silence. All four adult men and one baby stared wide eyed at Lily.

"Mama?"

"Awwwww Harry I'm not mad at you," she cooed, swooping down and hugging him tight. "Nooo, Mummy is just mad at your idiot Daddy."

"Id'it."

"Yes, good baby."

"Lils please don't teach our son to call me idiot instead of Daddy," James said in a strangled voice.

"Then don't be an idiot," Lily returned with vicious sweetness.

"It just comes out sometimes I really cannot physically stop myself."

"I know," she sighed heavily. "I was there at the wedding."

At the wedding, James tearfully interrupted the ceremony to try and let Lily marry her one true love, instead, so she beat him around the head with the bouquet until it fell apart while Remus respectfully declined James's offer, Sirius somehow reminded them that they were in the middle of their vows and should get on with things, and the guests were all kind of horrified.

Or something like that.

The End.

Thanks for reading!

Much Love,
