"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."
