"And I will." James tugged his hair playfully before hugging him close and nuzzling against his shoulder. "I missed you so much, it hurt."
Remus rolled his eyes, bouncing Harry up and down in his arms and enjoying how the baby watched, babbled and got so very excited. "He's inquisitive, isn't he? What a bright young boy. I hope he takes more after you than them." Remus gave the two hugging idiots a look and then smiled at Lily. "I'm okay. Overall."
Still no job, still broke, still a werewolf but yeah, he had a hot new boyfriend.
"I know! My heart yearned for you and only you." Wait. He should probably add a qualifier to that, now he was actually dating someone. "Because I was with you, Moony, so I didn't have to yearn."
Lily rolled her eyes while Sirius was giving Remus a thumbs up and grinning widely. "I'm so sorry you are dating them now too." Still, she put a hand on Remus' shoulder and gave it a slight squeeze. "I'm happy you worked it out. I know how dense he can be."
"I can hear y-- Whoa, is that the broom magazine you told me about?" Sirius' attention span wasn't always the best.
At least it left Lily some room to talk to Remus. "You do know that we can help you out, right? Whenever you need it. I know it's not easy for either of you."
Between Remus' werewolf status and Sirius' status of actively alienating a lot of very, very powerful people, mixed with an unhealthy distaste for any authority short of, say, McGonagall, Lily knew it wasn't easy. "Or, you know. He could be a stripper."
"It's fine, I've known them since I was eleven. I'm used to them. Sirius will always love James, it's cute in an annoying way." With a playful smile, he gave a thumbs up back and then shook his head, rolling his eyes as he chose to focus on his darling little nephew. Yes, nephew. Harry belonged to them. Like family.
As James hurried off to show Sirius his magazine collection, stepping over several baby toys to get there, Remus looked at Lily with a small, unsure smile.
He hated getting into these talks. "I'm really fine, we both are. I know everyone is worried but I don't care what job I take. As long as I have some money for us two and my friends around, it can't go too badly, can it?" He had Sirius, his best mates and little Harry - he felt he was luckier than he should be, honestly.
"Besides, Sirius would be an incredible stripper but I think he'd get bored of it eventually." Short attention span and all. "He's thinking of forming a rock band."
"Because that is such a reliable job prospect." Lily laughed, but she also pulled Remus in for a hug, kissing his cheek. "I'm sorry, I know you can work things out for yourself. I just want you to... Honestly, I'm just so pissed at everyone not hiring you. You are the most capable wizard in our whole year!"
Well. Arguably some might be more powerful, such as James, Severus and Sirius. But out of them, she didn't think any really had any good idea of how to approach real life. At least not without a of of guidance.
"I don't know about that. I'll keep on trying. My plan is to start at the bottom, work my way up to something... mid-level. Ish. And then we can live comfortably at that." As long as he didn't have to support Sirius and his rock band. "Thanks for worrying though. You're sweet." Smiling, he lifted Harry up and into the air a few times, enjoying the giggles he got as a reward. "I got him to spoil now so we got to get some money in. Speaking of..."
He looked over at Sirius and tried to get his attention. "Oi! Pads! We got that-- thing we gotta give." The gift they got Harry and he covertly wanted to bring it up without saying it. God, he hoped Sirius remembered to bring it. Cause he did not.
"Right! Thing!" Sirius slapped his forehead and then rushed back over to Remus' side, wrapping an arm around him and getting distracted again, just looking at Draco. "Such a cute boy! The best boy. You are the best boy, Harry, did you know?"
Harry didn't know, but he did gurgle. And tried to go for the hair again.
"THING!" Sirius remembered once more, reaching into his pocket and retrieving a wrapped up little present. He enlarged it to its proper size and then handed it over to Harry, smiling at him. "You can open it."
He could not. But he could chew on the wrapping paper beautifully. Which delighted Sirius. "Look! His mouth is red." Brilliant stuff.
"Careful! He's a baby, he might choke." Remus warned as he pulled the present aside a little and tried to fumble to open it with one hand. Luckily James came over and took it, opening it in front of Harry. It was nothing special, it was just a chewy blankie with a dog on top. "Sorry it's not much but we're low and we didn't know what to get so--"
James grinned and showed Lily, cutting off Remus eagerly. "That's so cute. Look, little man, you got your own Pads now."
Making happy woofing noises, James made the dog kiss the top of Harry's head a few times and then passed it on to the baby, beaming at his friends and reaching out to half hug Sirius. "Thanks, guys. We really didn't expect anything so this is brill."
"I wanted to get him chocolate, but Moony said that you shouldn't feed babies chocolate and then I wanted to look up what wolves are allowed to eat and he told me that I'm not allowed an opinion." Sirius said it cheerfully, then woofed at Harry, who squealed with joy. He was a happy baby, when it wasn't middle of the night and time to keep his parents up.
"It's so cute!" Lily loved it. "James, we'll have to take so many pictures of him with it. They can go with the pictures of him with Pads." Well, Sirius was a photogenic dog, what could she say?
"Remember when I looked way better than Prongs in our engagement pictures, Lils? Oh, what could have been."
Lily sighed. "So true. I'm very jealous, Remus, stealing the love of my life."
"I want to be more pissed off but it's frustrating how good you looked that day. Your hair was extra bouncy." And it was so annoying because he really overshadowed James. He regretted that moment he said 'hey, let's get a picture of just you and Lily' so much. "Damn you and your luscious locks."
"I got lucky." Remus couldn't believe his luck as he eyed up his boyfriend. Hee! Boyfriend. It was so cool. He grinned excitedly and cuddled Harry close. "Dunno how I pulled it off."
James reached out, poking Harry's little chubby cheek. "I hope Harry takes more after Sirius then me. I know he's not the father but ... I support my boy having beautiful hair."
