Could you imagine the Potter family’s dinners on Sundays?
Sirius coming in with a loud greeting and scooping up his precious godson into a hug.
Remus hanging his coat as he chuckles at his husband friend before handing Lily a tray of sweets that he had made (usually brownies or cookies).
Peter showing up fashionably late but with the peace offering of beer for his mates.
Lily rushing around the kitchen making dinner because, while they did have a house elf, she loved cooking the muggle way.
James grinning as he takes the offered beer and immediately begins a conversation about quidditch with Sirius.
Harry being passed around to his uncles and loving every second of attention and chocolate from Remus he gets.
Remus and Peter stepping into the kitchen to help Lily set the table.
Lily sharing news on different potions and charms she’s been working on and Remus listening intently as Peter sneaks food from the counter.
Calling everyone to the table and it being a bit like a mad house as they all race to their seats.
Harry sitting next to his dad and insisting on eating the same exact thing as daddy because he’s in that phase.
James smirking at Lily who rolls her eyes in amused exasperation at Harry.
Stories being exchanged around the table of things that’s been going on for them.
Raising a toast for Peter who got a promotion.
Raising a toast for a new law that passed that enabled werewolves to hold a job in the ministry.
James offering to do dishes because he was the type that helped around the house without being asked.
Everyone settling into the sitting room and entertaining Harry with stories from their Hogwart’s days.
Harry sitting and building with blocks with Peter as the others laid around.
When it’s bedtime for Harry, the others immediately have a quiet contest of who gets to put him to bed.
Remus winning and grinning at the pouting faces of the others as he scoops his honorary nephew up and carrying him upstairs after he says goodnight.
Getting Harry tucked into bed before reading him one of the muggle fairytales that Lily insisted they buy for Harry.
Ending the night with quiet conversations and a few memories before parting their ways with the promise to meet up again next Sunday.
Remus supporting Sirius who had a bit too much to drink, but smiling fondly as Sirius gave him that look of adoration he loved.
Peter kissing Lily’s cheek and clapping James’s shoulder before heading home.
Sirius pulling his brother into a hug and James chuckling because Sirius would never have done that when sober.
Lily and James finishing cleaning up downstairs before heading upstairs for the night.
Just the perfect Sunday evening for that little family.
