Note: The first of these has the original thought in its note. This one came about from some rambling thoughts I had about how James might have taken Harry's coming out of the closet. Again, I've pretended Voldemort was, I dunno, defeated before Harry's time or something.

"I don't know what to think, Lily, I don't!"

"Well, why don't you quit being such a sodding arse for starters! This is your son you're talking about."

"Exactly, my son."

"He can hear you. He's just in the next room."

(throwing hands in air) "Do you think I'm an idiot, Lil? I know precisely where he is!"

"Calm down. Think about everything. Do you want me to have Harry go?"

(shaking head and sitting down) "I don't know what I want."

(sighing and sitting down across from James) "James, I don't understand what is bothering you. I have always suspected something off. Harry's never dated a lot of girls and even then none for more than two weeks. He always breaks it off saying it was too awkward."

(runs hand through hair) "I dunno, maybe I just wanted to not see it. I mean, yeah okay, I knew he didn't date women that much. I just thought that maybe once he got through puberty he might get himself straightened out. Haha, straightened out."

(smiles a little) "This is not as bad as you're making it out to be. Do you still love your son?"

"Of course I do!"

"Then what does it matter he's homosexual?"

(runs hand through hair) "I dunno. It doesn't really, I guess."

"Well then, let's go back out there and reassure your son that you don't hate him."

(nods and grabs Lily's hand) "Okay, let's do this."
