Lily Serenity Evans was laying on her side when she felt a weight fall upon the bed. She could guess who it was, but she would rather wait until he started to talk.

"Where's Harry?"

"Wormtail's babysitting him. His exact words: I just enjoy the chance to come along for the ride. Babysitting is easier than Death Eater busts," Falcon clarified. "I was planning on resting an hour before the class I'm meant to teach, but you've come and disrupted that."

"With good news."

"If it's another class I'm meant to teach, I will throw you against that wall."

"They all have new wallpaper," James argued. "You even chose them."

"Walls could get cleaned."

"Getting used to the spy life, eh?"

"In a few years, Harry would be a part of the kids' group."

"I can already hear the advice the Heads would give."

"Which is?"

"Don't teach your kid with the rest," James tried to put on his best Head-like voice.

"They're right. It's best if we teach him alone. The other kids would take the piss out of him. He's father is James Potter!" she read his mind, and answered before he could ask the question.

"His mother is Lily Evans. Unless she takes the family name."

"What?" she acted as if she had been turned deaf for a moment.

"I've got a mission for us. Black-tie. Malfoy Manor."

"The Malfoys?"

"Apparently celebrating the first summer their son experienced."

"Wasn't he just born?"

"The rich do crazy things, especially if the rich is Lucius Malfoy."

"I'm guessing Narcissa is the forced planner."

"Who else? But, it would be good. Plus, there is a hotel right in front of the Manor where we could stay for a little while."

"Is this a mission or a vacation, Potter?" she finally looked over her shoulder at the man she preferred to be hers.

"Why can't it be both?"

"When?" Lily sighed.

"Tonight."

"Tonight?"

"We just got the news!" he defended. "I've got babysitters handled since Wormtail has a little thing at night and Puma said she'd handle your dress."

"Lily's waiting downstairs, but thank you," James thanked the trio once more.

Albeit, it was a bit odd to have Sirius Black, Marlene McKinnon, and Petunia Evans babysit one child altogether, but Harry Potter could be a handful if he wished to be. But, he'd rather not tell that to the babysitters. James would wait and see if they figure it out today, tomorrow, or sometime in the future when the little devil in child from decided to show up.

"Go, get to the mission, and try to live."

"Are you giving me that advice?"

"Just because you have a son, doesn't mean you have to be strict."
