James Potter apparated to the headquarters of The Order of the Phoenix without his wife for the first time.

Truth be told, it was also the first time he kind of wished he could've stayed back home. To spend some time with his wife and his new born son. Shaking away these thoughts, he put on a smile and entered the room where the meeting was supposed to happen.

Walking in, he had attracted everyone's attention, but the atmosphere was rather grim, and nobody spoke to him. Sirius Black, his best frie- brother, winked at him subtly, and Remus Lupin wore the gentle smile he always had.

There had been attacks on muggles by the Death Eaters once again, but other than that, there was nothing that happened. The meeting came to an end, and some aurors and members left.

Minerva McGonagall and Albus Dumbledore  approached James, and despite already having graduated, he couldn't help feel like he was young once again, and was caught doing something he wasn't supposed to do.

"Congratulations on the baby, Mr. Potter", said Dumbledore. McGonagall actually smiled at him, and said "I hope Lily's doing okay."

"Thank you sir, and yes Minnie, she's fine".

Dumbledore chuckled, his eyes twinkling. "Have you named him yet, Mr. Potter?"

"Yes sir, his name is Harry James Potter. Would you like to meet him?"

Both McGonagall and Dumbledore looked thrilled as soon as he asked this, that he had to refrain from laughing. Sirius and Remus, who also happened to be listening ended up joining them in meeting baby Harry.

To all of their surprise, Minerva McGonagall became extremely emotional looking at Harry. Harry on the other hand, was in his mother's arms, looking around at everyone with his big green eyes.

"He's already infatuated with magic", said James. "When he cries, all I have to do is make some sparks from my wand, and he becomes really silent".

Hearing this, McGonagall immediately turned into a cat. Harry looked at the cat, transfixed. Suddenly, he let out a giggle. Lily gasped, as he had never done that before.

That night, the Potter Household was a mess. When the two professors left, everybody tried making Harry laugh again. It was their little mission for the night, but little Harry was tired and fell asleep on the always-warm Remus.
