i fully believe that the first time james introduced regulus to three year old harry, regulus tried to formally shake his hand

[genericarchiver]

James and Harry’s relationship is like :

James : see Harry? all better *kisses the band-aid he just carefully placed on his sons cut*

Harry : thank you, ba

Whereas Regulus and Harry’s relationship is like :

Harry : dad, it hurts!

Regulus : *drops everything* where?! why?! who did this?!!

Harry : … me.

Regulus : oh, okay sweetheart. let’s go clean that up then :)

jegulus picking harry up from preschool but one of the moms starts obnoxiously flirting with james while they wait for the kids to be dismissed. james is somewhat clueless, because he’s so social and thinks she’s just making polite conversation. he pleasantly engages while regulus is literally fuming right next to him. the lady is like twirling her hair n shii and openly hitting on james, while regulus is standing right there. so while the lady is complementing james’ figure, gushing on and on, “gosh, i can tell you work out a lot , you must be so dedicated!” regulus interjects their conversation and says, “yeah, his figure is even better when you’ve seen all of it-“

james jolts in suprise, blushing, scolding, “reg!” the mom looks towards regulus for the first time and sneers in a challenge. regulus shoots her a smug expression right back, reciprocating the challenge. it’s that moment when the kids start pouring out the building and harry runs out yelling “pa!!!!” “dad!!!!”. reg kneels, prompting harry to jump into his arms. when he does, reg swings him up with an enthusiastic “heyy buddy!” and “how’s my little haz-elnut?” while harry giggles, reg leans him towards james so he can greet his son as well, and while james is busy cooing over harry regulus shoots the now sour-faced woman a wink before starting off with his gorgeous husband and adorable little boy. moral of the story; don’t challenge regulus black.

Headcanon that Effie always used to make Christmas cookies and James loved them, especially the thumbprints. One day he comes into the kitchen to see Harry standing on a chair while Regulus directs him to press his little thumbs into each cookie, and he melts on the spot. Later, when he tries them, it’s just like Effie is still there with them.

just imagining jegulus dads!au where harry is nervous about dressing up as a princess or something for halloween so James Potter, 6'1" bear of a man wears like a little sparkly skirt because no one is making his son feel ashamed for wanting to wear a bloody skirt and regulus didn't think he could fall even more in love with James but here we are

In the first few months after Harry was born, the Potters were extremely tired, and this situation occured:

Regulus: *leaving the bathroom looking confused* why is there a full toilet roll on top of the bin, and why is it wet??

James: *looks slightly embarrassed* I blew my nose earlier...

Regulus: *looking even more confused* and how does that link to my question??

James: well, you see, instead of throwing the used tissue into the toilet... I kind of.. urm

Regulus: *stifling laughter* you threw the full toilet roll into the toilet?

James: *sighs* yes.. I put the used tissue on top of the tank and threw the roll into the toilet

Regulus: *shoulders shaking with silent laughter*

James: I'm tired okay! *throwing his arms up in defeat*

Regulus and James sit in the dimly lit kitchen, murmuring amongst themselves, when the newly-six-year-old Harry comes shuffling down the hall while cuddling his well-worn padfoot plush. The two exchange a look before James pushes his chair back, letting out a loud screech, and heads toward Harry.

"What're you still doing up, Har," James asks, while he scoops the tired kid up in his arms. Harry just flops his head onto his Da's shoulder, much to the parents' amusement. They share a secret, endeared smile over the kid's head.

"Couldn't get to sleep," comes Harry's muffled reply. He lifts his head to look beseechingly at Regulus, the sterner of the two, "Can you pleaaaaase play me a song? Pretty please?" Harry tops off his request with big puppy dog eyes and a jut lip. Behind him, James mirrors Harry's face, silently begging Regulus for a song as well.

Regulus just rolls his eyes with a smile and gets up from his chair, too. "Well, since it is your birthday, I suppose you can have one last treat."

He gently takes Harry from James, sneaking in a quick cheek kiss to his husband. Said husband just gives a goofy grin, and dashes to the living room. Regulus snorts at his antics.

Harry settles on Regulus' chest as James grabs the guitar from where it's settled by the couch. He sets himself up on their worn, red couch as Regulus sits him and Harry down on the piano bench right across from James.

Both instruments are well loved, with James' mismatched tuning pegs on his guitar, and the places where paint was beginning to rub off on Regulus' piano.

James strums a few discordant chords and turns the pegs a bit, before smiling at Regulus, who just nods back. He ruffles Harry's hair before placing his hands on the keys and making them hum.

James joins in on Regulus' melody, adding riffs and weaving through the idea Regulus puts into the air. Regulus then slows down and only plays chords while James take the lead with his guitar. They continue this conversation between instruments well into the night, far past when Harry falls asleep cuddling Regulus.

As Regulus' nimble fingers push the last key, and James' hand strums the last chord, they both sit and let their music ebb and fade away into the night.

Regulus smiles down at their snoring kid, then lifts his head to smile at his husband, who already has the softest grin folded on his face. Regulus lovingly rolls his eyes, then gathers up Harry once more, careful not to wake him.

Once he's sure he is settled, he leans down to press a kiss to James' forehead. James hums. And as Regulus slips down the hall to Harry's room, he plucks just a few more notes from his old guitar.
