Cuz-in-Law
James was having a baby. Or rather, Lily Potter was having a baby, and James was going to be a father. Henry still couldn’t quite wrap his head around it. Accidentally meeting Katie after a few run-ins with Zephyr was one thing, but a member of Henry’s legal family having spawn? The idea was laughable.
Also a little terrifying. Henry’s default opinion of parents had, for the longest time, been “they’re terrible and the traumatizing of their children is inevitable.” Except lately it had come to his attention that Henry’s only real evidence for that was his experience with the Burkes. James was nothing like them. And Henry assumed Lily wasn’t either. He’d never actually had a full conversation with her, although they’d been in the same year at Hogwarts and Henry had been on James’ side of the church for her wedding.
Well, now he stood on her porch bearing gifts for mother-to-be and future infant, and knocked.
“Lily! I bring gifts and chocolate. Is James here?”
