A/N So this is my first fanfic ever and I'm slightly nervous.. Anyway, here it is, my Halloween Jily/Potters fanfic, hope you like it!
Thanks to the lovely Cristina (malcolm-faede on tumblr) for betaing.
James had always loved Halloween.
His parents always let him choose the pumpkin, and it was the best time to prank people with the rest of the Marauders.
Lily also loved Halloween. She had never celebrated it as a child, the Evans didn't have time for that nonsense. But she fell in love with it at Hogwarts.
Harry... well, he didn't understand it very well, but he started giggling and clapping as soon as Padfoot and Moony came in. Peter had called saying that he had to do some work for the Order.
The five of them had a nice afternoon, playing board games and trying maybe a bit too hard to forget about the war.
"Its getting late, I'm going upstairs to bathe Harry."
"Well, we should go then." Said Remus.
"I'll walk you to the door."
Half an hour later, Harry was clean and ready for bed. James picked him up and started rocking back and forth, singing.
"Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Daddy's gonna buy you a quidditch pitch
And if it turns out that you're shit"
"JAMES!"
"... daddy won't love you less for it.
And if you're actually pretty good
Daddy's gonna buy you the newest broom
And if that broom won't fly,
Daddy's gonna buy you a patch of sky.
And if you find it dark and with too much room
Daddy's gonna put new stars for you
And if those stars ever burn out
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town."
It wasn't until Teddy was born that Harry heard a lullaby again.
A/N Ta-daa. Please tell me what do you think about it
Also, my sister pointed out that Sirius was the one to buy Harry the newest broom
Also, I wrote this inspired by John Green's video " Adorable Baby Is Adorable"
