Au where James and lily live and Sirius didn't go to prison and Remus wasn't left alone and Peter didn't betray everyone and eVEYONE IS ALiVE AND HApPy AND ThEY ALL HELP RAiSe HARRY ANd HARRy ALWAYs FEELS LOVED ANd EVERYThInG IS OkAY
Baby Harry would get piggy backs from a huge black dog atthe park and someone would be like “your dog is so well trained” and Lily wouldprobably laugh for ten years and then tell James later
Peter would buy all these baby blankets for Harry all thetime until the others had to sit him down and stage an intervention like.Peter. We are LITERALLY giving blankets away on the street because we have SOMANY. Please STOP buying them honestly.
Lily reading to Harry a lot and Harry would have favouritebooks and James would buy him the magic ones with moving pictures and he wouldgiggle like a baby and Lily would take 8203945809 photos and James would stickall of them on the fridge
When Harry’s two they’d have a another daughter calledEleanor and Remus would paint her room green while Peter hung the curtains andSirius chain-smoked outside pretending he was providing ‘moral support’ whenJames and Lily arrived
Ellie would LOVE chewing on peoples fingers but herfavourites would be Sirius’s and James would say it was: ‘probably all thenicotine’ and ‘I swear Black if my daughter starts smoking I will watch as Lilykills you’
Harry would be really confused like who is she???? How longis she staying???? I mean I like her and all but????? She is pointless and can’teven eat mashed banana that’s pathetic honestly
Harry soon realises that normally what Ellie wants she getsso he would go up to everyone and be all “Ellie told me she wanted to go thepark later and get ice cream” and “Ellie said that she wants Peter to show herhow to reach the cookie jar on the top shelf” or maybe just “Ellie wants somemashed banana”
Harry would watch muggle cartoons with Remus and Sirius like“what the legitimate FUCK is happening Remus how is this girl lost she’s meantto be an EXPLORER and she has a MAP in her BAG and WHY does that monkey haveboots on IT IS A MONKEY”
“Sirius you are majorly over thinking this stop DRAFTING ALETTER TO THE NETWORK”
Harry would start muggle primary school around the time thatLily and James have another kid called Rose and Harry would go around being all‘I have TWO whole sisters. TWO. That is ONE PLUS ONE” because Peter had taughthim a little math before he arrived and Harry would be very proud of it.
Rose aka the loudest baby of all baby’s honestly shescreamed once and literally a window broke and then Ellie tried to sit in allthe pieces and that’s how the lot of them ended up in St Mungo’s and it wasonly ten .a.m.
Harry would do his homework while Sirius sat on the kitchenbench and told him to ‘take a stand against the man’ and ‘fuck school work’ butthen Lily walks in and ‘no lily I wasn’t sitting on the bench I’m helping harrywith his homework like a GOOD GODFATHER okay MERLIN I am NOT a bad INFLUENCE that’sINSANE’
Group photos around Christmas where all three kids aredressed as elves, James and Sirius had a fight over being Santa so they bothhad to be reindeer as a compromise and Remus is Santa and Peter is the ‘reindeerhandler’ (just an excuse to put both Sirius & James on leashes) and Lily isobviously Mrs Claus and they send this photo to everyone including McGonagall.
Ellie and Harry would have ‘secret meetings’ but its reallyjust them sitting under a fort whispering to each other about what’s for dinnerwhile James and Sirius try to eavesdrop
Rose would have SUPER red hair like Lily but Ellie and Harrywould both have black hair like James and Ellie would be all ‘what if she feelsleft out’ and so in the middle of the night James walks in bleary eyed to findhis two eldest children colouring in his youngest daughters hair black with amarker.
Harry being confused at why he has so many baby pictures ina fawn suit like Sirius why are you laughing seriously answer the question whoput me in this suit
Being around other wizards like: “you don’t have a werewolfuncle???? Or another uncle who shows you where the cookie jar is when Mum hidesit????? You must have another uncle who has a motorcycle and lets your sistersbraid his hair. You DON’T??? but then who comes over all the time forDINNER????? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S JUST YOUR PARENTS WHAT HOW
Harry loves his sisters a lot like he would do colouringwith them and watch TV with them and read their lame books and he has suchrespect for his badass little sisters like Ellie helps Sirius work on his motorbikebecause she loves mechanics and Rose doesn’t have time for bullshit because she(quote) ‘just wants to have naps and colour’ like aren’t his sisters the bestever
Don’t tell them he said that they would make fun of himforever you CAN’T tell them
James would pick him up from school like the cool young dadhe is and sometimes Sirius would pull up on his motorcycle like “yeah Rosestuffed crayons down this kids mouth at day care because he called her hairstring cheese and so your parents are currently confounding the teachers so meand Uncle Peter are going to teach you how to play poker while they’re out”
Ellie and Rose being best sisters since forever they fuckingOWN their dad like Ellie could say “Daddy please fill the bathtub withchocolate milk” and James would be half way through before Lily comes home andis all the fuck are you doing you’re the PARENT
When asked to draw his family at nine Harry draws one tallblack haired guy and a red headed lady holding hands, a long haired guy in a motorcycle,another guy with a shirt that says ‘I’VE GOT A FURRY LITTLE PROBLEM’ and adifferent guy eating cheese with two little girls eating lollipops sitting onthe motorcycle bars
Sirius makes Remus a shirt that says ‘I’VE GOT A FURRYLITTLE PROBLEM’ and Remus attempts to strangle him with it at dinner
James and Lily having to have a talk with Rose because ‘babeyou CAN’T keep making things catch on fire at school, it’s freaking out yourmuggle teachers and Peter says that you laughing really hard after you do itmakes it hard to believe it’s really an accident’
Family game night. Just imagine it. They don’t talk about itanymore but just know that the door came off the fridge, Lily threatened to ‘strangleSirius with his own hair’ if he didn’t stop cheating, James & Ellie triedto carry out the threat, Remus accidentally broke Peter’s thumb and Harry had aheated argument with Rose over the rules for ‘Go Fish’
Harry would play soccer for ‘muggle exposure’ in theQuidditch off season and the lot of them all sitting on the side lines cheeringfor him as Lily is held back by James because she doesn’t agree with the refereescall and Sirius, Ellie and Rose eat all the oranges meant for half time.
Parents James and Lily Potter who make breakfast and spillmilk everywhere and are always counting children to make sure no one’s missingbecause once they left Ellie in the washing basket and James would hold a kidwith one arm and eat something with the other and Rose would like how her Mummy’shair is the same as hers and how Daddy tells really good jokes
Ellie would get Peter to tell stories of what they did atHogwarts and she finds it so cool andher parents are awesome and Remus isso smart and her Dad laughs at allher mums jokes and Sirius let her go on his flying bike but only if shepromised not to tell Mum and Peter likes hearing about all her school stuff andHarry is lame but he’s also sort of wonderful and Rose is annoying but she’salso kind of lovely
Harry on the train to Hogwarts and Remus & James made asign that says ‘WE’LL MISS YOU’ and Rose would demand he send back sweets andEllie would try to sneak on the train and would have to be carried off bySirius while Lily and Peter both cry and Harry waves at them out the windowbecause he loves them so much and can’t even imagine what how life would belike without the lot of them
