His Lost Family

Chapter 1

Miami, Florida, USA

1st of august, 1996

It was early morning, and a certain redhead was pulling her husband out of bed.

"But Lilyyyyy, it's Saturday. I wanna sleep in,"James wined at his wife, who was more than ready to levitate him and drop him into the bathtub.

"EXACTLY!! Look, you need to wake up the kids while i take my shower, then you take a shower and wake the kids up again cause knowing our children, Bella will be the only one up and getting ready" replied Lily sharply.

"And why exactly do we have to wake up so bloody early in the morning ?"muttered James burying his face further into the pillow.

"Seriously James? We're taking the kids to Canter Coast today, remember? "

James sat up in a matter of seconds, all thoughts of sleep forgotten, "THAT'S TODAY? oh god, how did i even forget that," he cried out, scrambling out of bed and through the door.

"Oh, and James?" Lily called after her husband just as she was entering the bathroom. "Please take Leo with you to Bella's room," she said gesturing to the small pup who was laying on a comfy-looking pillow beside their own bed.

James re-entered the room, grabbed the dog who was just starting to stretch and proceeded out the door towards what his wife likes to call "the only decent looking room in the house". His only daughter's room.

The youngest Potter's room was quite dark, the only light coming in through the small window on the furthest wall from the door. Through the soft light, James could see his little girl sleeping, her small chest rising and falling and her messy red hair spread out across the cream colored pillows. He was trying to think up a nice way to wake his youngest when she rolled over murmuring a soft greeting.

"Hey baby," James smiled, bending over to press a small kiss to her forehead. "Sleep well?"

"Yea slept alright," She sighed softly. "Is mum feeling better?"

"Yes sweetheart mummy's feeling much better than yesterday," James answered a small smile etched on his face. "Now c'mon i don't think she'd appreciate it if we weren't ready by Nine."

"Alright," she sat up and stretched. "Can we take Leo with us?"

"Of course sweetie. Just get ready, grab his leash, and come down for breakfast, alright?"

"Okay"

"Love you baby"

"Love you too daddy"

James quickly exited the room, shook his head lightly. One down, three to go. He walked across the hall and ducked into another room.

"C'mon boys wake up, we're going to Canter Coast"

His words had the desired effect on the two young teens as they both bolted up and hopped right out of bed.

"We're going to Canter Coast?"

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"When are we going?"

"Can we go right now?"

"Please"

"Please"

"PLEASE," the twins endded dramatically, clasping their hands together.

"Alright alright," James chuckled. "Get dressed and head down to breakfast, we'll be leaving directly after that."

"YES!" Ray pumped his fist up into the air while Jay performed his own little happy dance."Thanks dad."
