fatherly duties (April 25th prompt; Thrill) @jilymicrofics

“You’re staring, Lil.”

Lily startles, nearly knocking James off his feet as she spins around to face him.

“Woah,” he breathes, steadying her with his hands on her shoulders. “Just me.”

Lily frowns up at him, though she can’t completely hide the slight blush that warms her cheeks, noticing his bemused expression. “I wasn’t staring James, I was just—“

“Staring. Yeah.” James interrupts cheekily, giving her his typical lopsided grin.

“Checking.” Lily corrects him, crossing her arms. “I was just checking if he’s alright.”

James’s smirk softens at that, and is replaced by an understanding smile. “Yeah.” he says quietly, looking past her at the door to Harry’s bedroom, which stands slightly ajar. “I was about to do that, though. One of my fatherly duties.”

Lily can’t help but chuckle at his feigned displeased frown. “Oh, is it now?” she asks amusedly. “And what else, may I ask, would those fatherly duties include?”

James presses a finger to his chin, thinking. “Well…there’s telling horribly flat jokes, for one.” he muses, smirking slightly at Lily’s eye roll.

“Hm, they’re called Dad jokes, I think.” she replies, acting as though this conversation was indeed very serious.

James can hardly hold back a laugh. “Yes, yes, exactly those.” he agrees. “Oh! and there’s also, teaching him all the hidden ways around Hogwarts and—“

Lily slaps his chest. “James Potter!” she hisses quietly. “He’s gotten into more than enough trouble on his own, he definitely doesn’t need your encouragement.”

“Alright, alright.” James sighs, but in all honesty, he does agree with Lily. Hearing about Harry‘s many previous escapes has had them both feeling less than thrilled, to say the least.

“Well, I’ve got another one then,” he adds, walking up closer to the door to peak inside the moon lit room — the room that once belonged to Sirius and now hosts his son. “Protecting him, with my life.”

Lily feels her chest constricting with the entirety of the statement. “With our lives.” she corrects him quietly, leaning her head against his shoulder.

She watches Harry’s sleeping face, and tries her best not to think of the last time they’d vowed to do that — and the last time they almost did do that. And she’d do it again, in a heartbeat.

James wraps his arm around her shoulders, kissing the side of her head.

“Merlin, I’d take a hundred curses for that kid,” he says after a minute. Then, with a breathed chuckle. “Although, you know, I’d still prefer not having to bite the grass anytime soon.”

Lily smiles weakly. “You always hated to eat your greens.”

James turns his head to look down at her, an incredulous expression on his handsome face, before he suddenly bursts out laughing. “Wow.” he snorts. “Can’t believe Prefect and Head Girl Lily Evans would ever pull a pun.”

Lily giggles despite herself, reveling in this moment of quiet solitude. “Oh, she’d never,” she replies with mocked disapproval, before her lips tug into a smile. “But Lily Potter certainly would.”

She thinks James’s smile could probably light the entire bloody house. “I love you, Mrs. Potter.” he smiles, like the love struck teenager he hasn’t been in almost seventeen years.

Lily blushes, although she reckons she really shouldn’t anymore, being in her thirties and all. “I love you too, Mr. Potter.”

A slight creak to their right makes them both turn, and Lily’s blush increases, now twinged with a bit of guilt as she’s met with the confused eyes of their son.

“Dunno what’s more worth asking about,” Harry lulls tiredly, blinking against the light in the hallway. “Why you two’ve been standing in front of my bedroom for the past half hour, or what’s gotten you to giggle on about…?”

Lily bites her lip, sparing Harry a sheepish smile. “Sorry, sweetheart,” she replies genuinely. “We didn’t mean to wake you.”

“We’re just checking on you.” James adds, perhaps unnecessarily.

Lily notices the look of confusion on Harry‘s face. “Uh…right,” he replies slowly. “Checking for what?”

“To know you’re okay.” she explains gently.

Harry raises a brow, lips twitching amusedly. “I’m fine,” he chuckles. “I was asleep, you know…not much I could do that you’d have to check on.”

“It’s just a nice change,” James pipes up, clearly wanting to lighten their conversation. “You — sleeping so quietly, not scurrying around, beating your old man at quidditch.”

Harry snorts. “Yeah, well, I could still beat you, even with my eyes closed.” he retorts jokingly.

James gasps in mock appall; „In your dreams!“

Harry snickers, with that same cheeky glint in his eyes which Lily‘s seen plenty of times before, on James. “Yeah, there too.”

After James came out

Euphemia: Careful, the plate is hot.

James: Don't worry, I'm attracted to pans, not plates.

Euphemia: 😑

Sirius: 🤦

Fleamont: 😆 [is really proud of his son's stupid dad joke]

Five year old James who would follow his mother around tugging on her skirt and hiding behind her legs whenever he's scared but always is always going on about one thing or another

Ten year old James finally tall enough to jump up and sit on the counters and talk her ear off as she cooks, despite the many side-eyes he gets for his chosen seat

At fifteen Effie has bullied him into helping her cook while he chatters away about school

(A year later he brings home Sirius Black who at first was to hesitant to talk away at her like James does and would instead hover by the door of the kitchen, after a couple weeks he would settle and join)

Somehow at twenty James has managed to get his fiance pregnant and this time is Effie ranting at him while he sits in embarrassed silence

A year later there are no Potters who are able to follow each other around with their famed rants.

But one day a young Harry Potter, while much more hesitantly than his father, would help Molly Weasley in her kitchen with a quiet grin and stories for the ages

Best dads||D.M/H.P

Summary: your husbands Hogwarts rivalry never went fully away and now they compete as dads

After you had the twins James and scorpius the competition between your husbands started up again

You were breastfeeding James as scorpius was asleep beside you as your husbands were quietly fighting

"I can so change a diaper faster then you." Draco says and Harry looks over shocked

"In your dreams Malfoy." Harry says and you sigh as Draco smirks

"I mean I see y/n in my dreams all the time so yes a Malfoy is in my dreams." Draco says and you chuckle at that it was cute but well your also a potter as you married them both

"I'm also a potter tho isn't that why I hyphened Malfoy and potter for my last name when we got married." You say and Draco sighs as he pretends to look annoyed when he wasn't really but he's in competition mode with Harry, so he fakes his old I hate Harry Potter and everything to do with him like in Hogwarts "Oh right Draco you both were fighting about changing diapers please do go on." You say and anything to be able to nap more, and hey the competitions are great tired mom you gets to sleep more

"Oh right thank you y/n, now potter come at me let's go see who is the better diaper changer loser." Draco says and Harry nods

"Ok winner gets y/ns affection for a week and the other doesn't." Harry says and you shake your head

"No winner gets the prize of changing more diapers then the other and a kiss on the cheek." You say and Harry shrugs

"Fine." Harry says not that pleased but pleased enough to not give up, like he would have anyways

"Okay and I'll change Scorpius, you can change James we have to change the diaper under a minute or else we lose and it has to be flawless." Draco says and Harry nods

"Okay deal." Harry says and Draco and Harry shake on it as you sigh this is going to be a long week

These rivalries you thought they would abandoned it when you got with them both but well no, they first always had little rivalries first it came with sex always towards you of course, but then they got over it now it's with the twins which hopefully they will get over it eventually, maybe? Well one day they will hopefully

You hope the twins won't have to deal with their fathers fighting about which one can get them to the Hogwarts train quicker then the other

But right now as babies it works perfectly so you can rest but as they get older you will stop them more

"Ah seems they both need a diaper change now." You say as you could smell scorpius from here and he was in a basket on the ground gosh it smells terrible

Draco and Harry take their twin they choose and smirked at each other

"May the best dad win."

Best Harry Potter Hubby

I am curious as to who people think the best husband is. Please try to be as objective as possible. It doesn't matter if the man is a villain or antagonist. It's not even about the ship. Like you can prefer Hinny over Romione but think Ron makes a better husband than Harry for eg.

It's a bit hard for some of these guys since their marriage may not have a lot of screentime or no screentime at all. Use how they acted as boyfriends as a rough estimate??

Propaganda from moi:

I personally think Vernon is the best husband in HP. The dude is an abusive jerk to Harry but the man is always ready to throw hands to protect his family. Plus, the dude treats Petunia like a queen and respects and loves her. I just think the Dursleys have the best marriage on paper. Unlike other HP couples, I can't find any fault with Vernon as a husband.

James: Ma, what would you do if I was a bug? Euphemia: Crawling bug or flying bug? James: Let's say crawling. Euphemia: Sweep you outside so you can be free. James: But I'm your son. Euphemia: A bug. James: What if get eaten by a bird? Euphemia: Circle of life. James: Okay, well, what if I was a flying bug? Euphemia: Same thing. Shoo you outside for you to fly or smack you with a fly swatter. James: YOU'D KILL ME?! 😭 ~~~~~~~~ James: Papa, what would you do if I was a bug? Fleamont: I would build you a little bug house. James: Thank you! Mom said she'd kill me. Fleamont: Yah, she really would.

Sirius : *standing at reg's room door with a bag* Reggie, please come with me

Regulus : No.

Sirius : Reggie

Regulus : Sirius. You know I can't.

Sirius :

Sirius : Why not Reggie?

Regulus : Someone has to stay here Sirius, don't you get it? They won't let both of us go! Go. Have your freedom, I'll stay.

Sirius : *tearing up, on the verge of shouting* It doesn't have to be like that Regulus! Who cares what they will let us do or will not, the potters will protect us. For god's sake Reggie, choose me for once, choose yourself!

Regulus : Sirius.

Sirius : Regulus.

Regulus :

Regulus : Oh bloody hell, Sirius I'm going to be so pissed if this doesn't work out. Come on let's get out of here.

Sirius : *brightening up* Let's go.

Hello!! First of all I wanted to say I’m obsessed with your writing ❤️ Your hinny feels so real and nuanced, and I really appreciate how well you address their trauma and struggles they might have in their relationship while also showing their deep love for each other. Because of this, I would LOVE to hear any thoughts you have on what Harry and Ginny would be like as parents, such as what their biggest challenges would be/how they'd get through it, etc (and if you have hcs about the kids that would be the icing on the cake 😁)

you are a true angel for this! although i do (of course, always) have takes on harry and ginny as parents, i'm going to save them for another day while i still have other writing bits to do. BUT what i do have is a WIP fragment of a dad!harry and james scene that i originally wrote for the orchards sequel and that i'll probably never do anything with but that i sort of like anyway, because james is my favourite potter child for no reason other than i love the idea of harry potter and ginny weasley having accidentally given birth to someone easygoing/ronald weasley 2.0. i really hope you enjoy!

In the kitchen, four o’clock, sunny day, warm. He takes the potatoes out of the oven, gives them a good shake in the tray.

‘It’s nice, our house.’

When he looks up, James is at the kitchen island, going to town on an enormous bag of crisps. It’s a source of professional anxiety how easy it is for his children to sneak up on him. ‘Glad you think so,’ he says to James, as he puts the potatoes back in the oven. ‘You’ve only lived in it your whole life.’

‘Yeah, but I never really thought about it before.’ Big bite, raspy crunch. When he turns back, James is looking out of the kitchen window, peering into the garden, like it's his first time seeing it. ‘When you’re little, you just think it’s your house, don’t you. You don’t think, hey, this house is nice. You just think, this is our house.’

‘I suppose not. Don't fill up on crisps, you'll not want dinner.'

His son scoffs at that - as well he might, the appetite on him these days. Gin says it's a Weasley birthright. With another munch, James starts examining the ceiling beams. 'I like it,' he says decisively. ‘It’s a good house. Big, loads of light. Homely. Good garden, plenty of bedrooms. Gets sunshine from all sides. Not far from Granny and Grandpa Weasley’s. Near the sea.’

‘Is this you telling me you’re considering a career as an estate agent?’

‘Nope. Just saying.’ James considers his next crisp clutched between his forefinger and thumb. ‘Reckon I’ll raise my kids here, too. Leave it to me in the will, won’t you?’

‘Not sure about that one. What about Al and Lil?’

Dismissive wave of a hand. ‘Easy. I’ll pay them off. There’ve got to be some perks to being the eldest son. First-come, first-served, that’s the rule.’

'And Teddy?'

'Easier still. He still owes me for running over my foot in that driving lesson. I've been limping whenever I see him, laying the groundwork.'

He looks at James, black birdnest of hair, bright brown eyes, scrum of freckles. He’s got quaffle blisters on the base of his palms.

‘You’re doing it again.’

‘What thing?’

‘What thing, he says. Staring at me. That sentimental thing you do.'

‘I don’t do a sentimental thing.’

‘Yeah, you do. Al and I take bets on how many times you'll do it at family events. Your eyes get that spaced-out look. You’re about to tell me you love me, aren’t you?’

‘I do love you.’

'Yeah, yeah.' Eye-roll from James, though he's grinning. Tosses the crisp packet in the bin with a Chaser's precision. They take love in their stride, his children: receiving it, giving it out in spades. 'Listen,' he says, 'about those roast potatoes - very important - '

‘Crispy. I’m on it.’

'Good man,' says his son, and heads for the door. 'Back in a bit. I'm going to go map out where I'm going to put my swimming pool.'

#writing #next gen #i don't know what this is but i hope you like it anon #just a dad roasting some potatoes for his hungry son #and the hungry son roasting him right back #that's parenting folks!#dad!harry has my heart #james sirius potter #potter family #ginny weasley #hinny #if you squint #microfic

If James knew one thing to be true, it was that he was going to be the best father possible like his dad before him.
