Navigation
Harry woke first from the sun streaming in through his bedroom window, he groggily rubbed his eyes as he lifted the covers and planted his feet down and letting his toes wiggle in the fluffy rug by his bed. Standing up he stretched, tilting his head as he does before heading out of the room and down the hall. On the way he passes by your room with the door slightly ajar, he glances in as he walks by to see you haven’t woken up yet. Making his way down the stairs and into the kitchen he sees his mum fiddling with something on the counter while his dad seems to be helping from behind, arms wrapped around hers, both smiling and giggling away
“Morning” he chirps catching the attention of his parents
“Morning honey” his mother smiles brightly
“Hey little man” his father says with a similar expression, pressing a quick kiss to his wife’s cheek before moving away and sitting down
“What’s for breakfast?” Harry asks as he takes his usual seat, sitting right back so his legs dangle off of it
“Pancakes…well there will be pancakes, we weren’t expecting you up so soon” James lets out a chuckle “Y/n up yet?” he inquires to which Harry shakes his head
“Well honey while dad makes pancakes why don’t you come with me and we’ll trim your hair” Lily suggests
His eyes light up nodding quickly and following his mum through to the living room. He weirdly loved getting his hair cut, to start he hated it because it made him all itchy when the hair stuck to his neck and his dad used to do it for him. Not that his dad wasn’t good at it, it was more he was rather chaotic and Harry just didn’t match that energy as well as you did, his sister, so you and he switched, after that he loved it as he got to spend quality time with his mum
“Sit down honey while I get the scissors” Lily gestures to the seat she pulled out, placing it on the hardwood so hair wouldn’t get stuck in the carpet
As he sat down he wiggled on the chair to get comfy, soon his mother returns and wraps a little cape around him before beginning to pull some of his hair between her fingers and trim along it
“So what do you want to do, it’s a gorgeous day outside” his mother says as she continues to trim the back, little clumps of hair falling softly on the floor by her slipper clad feet
“I’m not sure” Harry shrugs to which earns him a light scold to ‘stay still’
“Well your uncle Sirius and Remus called earlier and suggested a BBQ” she informs him as she moves around to the left side of his head
“Oh” he lifts his head to look at her before cringing “Sorry mum” he watches her giggle at him motioning with her finger to keep his head straight
“So, does a little barby sound alright? We could even see if your Aunties Dorca and Marlene want to join” he can feel her smile as she says their names
He resists the urge to nod his head “Yeah! Can you ask uncle Sirius and Remus to bring their dog?” he pouts at his mum with big doe eyes, he really liked their dog but he never got to see it often
Lily lets out a little giggle as she moves to trim the front, taking some of the hair and holding it up high and to the side as she speaks “I don’t know honey we’ll have to see” he sees her giving him a knowing look like she knows something he didn’t, but be doesn’t have time to think as the hair lands on his nose to which he tries to blow it away and fails wiggling his nose as he tries not to sneeze
Lily leans down and brushes the hair out of his face gently pulling on the ends to check they are even “My handsome little man” she leans in and nudges her nose with his, a habit she had done with him since he was a baby “Okay honey almost done” she says moving to the right side of his head continuing to cut
As he looks forward he can see his dad in the kitchen preparing the pancake mix, he smiles as he sees you walk up and pull on his sleeve. Watching as he kneels down to your level and you whisper something in his ear before giving him that little look filled with a smidge of mischief which means you were planning something
“Lily love?” James pops his head through the door “I’m going to take y/n up to get her hair cut” he smiles
Lily stops cutting and looks up “Okay…hi sweetie” she peers down at you whose head is poking out from behind James
“Hi mum” you say before turning to Harry, giving him a big smile, ‘what are you planning’ he mouths to you, to which you mouth back ‘you’ll see’
Your eyes slowly fluttered open as you gripped the quilt closer to your chest, stretching your legs out as you wake. Lazily looking around you let you a little yawn before lifting the covers and swivelling your legs out. Gliding your feet into your slippers you stand up grabbing your cardigan, well actually it was your uncle Remus’ and it was huge but he let you keep it since you loved it so much. Walking out you head down the hall to go annoy Harry, pushing his door open you saw his bed empty so you headed down the stairs instead.
As you made your way to the kitchen you saw through one of the adjoining doors Harry getting his hair cut, how could you forget, you had it marked on your little calendar for weeks. You quickly walked into the kitchen seeing your dad mixing something so you tug on his sleeve to grab his attention
He stops what he’s doing and kneels down in front of you straight away “Morning my little fawn” he smiles brightly at you as you beam back, loving the nickname even if you didn’t fully understand it
You shuffle on your feet “Dad?” your voice goes up at the end
“Yes?” he matches your energy and copy’s the tone
You glance over at Harry and your mum “Can you cut my hair differently than usual?” you ask pouting as you sway
“What you thinking?” he looks at you intrigued, you never really did anything different always a trim keeping it long like your mum
You lean in and whisper “Can you cut it short?” gesturing discreetly to your shoulder “Like auntie Marlene and then when I curl it will look like Uncle pads?” you bite your lip looking at him to see if he’ll grant you permission
He tilts his head almost confused as he thinks before a big smile takes over his face “Sure” he nods making you light up “You want to do it now?”
As your dad prepares the chair, getting out the scissors and comb, you rack through your drawers for a picture, smiling as you find it, it was one of your mum and Marlene taken before you were born.
You hand it to your dad “Like this please” you say eagerly
He chuckles as he takes it admiring it for a second before nodding and gesturing for you to sit, before he makes any cuts he kneels in front of the chair “You sure?” he asks but you know he already knows the answer
“Yes” you give a confident nod
Your dad moves back, wetting your hair with a spell before brushing through it. He then pulls out a few hair ties and splits your hair into four even sections, securing them just below the length you wanted. He then makes the big chop, you try to keep your head still as the excitement grows. After he cuts another he moves to the front giving himself fake pigtails with your cut hair which makes both of you laugh.
As he finishes cutting off the length, he starts picking up the hair in smaller sections, lining with the comb as he adds some layers for volume
“Keep your head really still, okay?” he says as he moves to begin shaping the front smiling dearly at you
As he finishes he runs his hands through the front sections of your hair, getting you to stand up and lean your head back as he checks everything is perfect before casting a quick spell to dry it “Can I look?” you ask
“Yeah” he nods
You walk over to the little mirror in your room, a huge grin on your face as you see your new do, you look so different but in the best way. Turning back to your dad you run up, he seems to know what you’re doing and drops down to his knees to give you a big hug
“You like it?” he asks as he pulls back
“No I don’t like it” you say with a cheeky pout “I love it! Thanks dad” you throw your arms around him again as you pull back you ask one more thing “Can we curl it?”
“Of course”
Harry was currently helping his mum bring out the plates as his Uncles arrived, both offering their hand by bringing out the pancakes, toppings and juice although they did cheat by using magic. He took a seat at the table, his mum on his left and Remus on his right, while Sirius sat alone opposite
Remus looks over at him and his mother “Where Prongs and y/n?” he tilts his head
“She’s getting her hair cut…although they are taking longer than usual” she notes
“I think I know why” Sirius nods for them to look back at the house
Harry looks around first, smiling as he sees his dad and you with your new hair “WOW!” he exclaims jumping up and running over
You look at your mum, seeing her look shocked before a pleased smile appears on her face but you don’t have time to see what your uncles think as your brother reaches out to check touch your hair “You like it?” you ask a bit nervous as his opinion meant the most to you
“I love it you look so cool! You think I could pull off longer hair?” he asks pulling the ends of hair down a little
“No” you say straight away making your dad bark out a laugh while Harry scrunches up his nose and wiggles it in false annoyance
You then run up to the table hopping up next to Sirius as your dad take a seat on your other side and Harry returns to his “You like it mum?”
She nods “You look so pretty sweetie” she says giving you a warm smile
“Cutie pie” Sirius adds giving you a light nudge
Remus hums in agreement “It looks great, what inspired the change” he asks kindly
“I found a photo of auntie Marlene and I thought it would look cool” you answer
Soon you all had eaten and Harry insisted even with a belly full of pancakes that he wanted to fly around on his broom, to which your dad soon run off to join while your uncle Sirius took a seat next to Remus first. You watched as he took a bobbly off his wrist and put Sirius’ hair in a half up and half down style, after he was finished Sirius turned around and gave him a quick kiss before running off inside to grab one of your dads’ spare brooms
You looked down at the bobble on your own wrist, standing up and walking around to sit with him while your mum was going to greet your aunties as they would be arriving any minute “Uncle Moony?” you look up at him
“Yeah pup?” he smiles
“Can you do my hair too?” you hold out the hair tie “Like uncle pads” he lets out a chuckle nodding as he takes it, you turn around and let him split your hair and up it up just like he did before, as he finishes you turn and give him a big hug, which he returns right away “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome pup” he says before glancing over at Sirius the two seeming to have a similar idea in their head
