James' POV - been a while

"You invited Petunia?" I ask bewildered
"Yes"
"Why?" I run my hand down my face
"She's my sister" she shrugs
"Yes but she hates all things wizard, which I'm sorry includes me and you, oh and our son" I sigh exasperated, shaking my head
"She doesn't hate it besides she's making an effort she wouldn't do that if she hated all of it. It's her husband who is the nightmare" she adds
"Is he coming?" I question
"Not sure but I doubt it" she shrugs again "she is bringing her son Dudley" she tells me, I roll my eyes
"James, she's my sister and I'm trying to fix our relationship, you'll have to meet her someday. And please try with her, for me" she pulls the puppy eyes
"Fine" we hear a faint cry from the living room "I've got him" I head in and pick Harry up "are you hungry?" He gurgles "of course you are" I rub my nose on his.

Timeskip

"I'll get it" Ro heads to the door to let in her sister "come on in" she leads them into the living room where I'm bouncing Harry on my lap "Petunia this is my husband James Potter" I get up and head over, placing Harry down next to his toys as I do.

As soon as I'm standing in front of her I hold out my hand
"It's nice to finally meet you" she looks me up and down, I feel like I'm being judged
"You to" she shakes my hand still looking at me in a way that makes me feel deeply uncomfortable

"Okay" Rose interrupts thank Merlin "should we head outside? The fireworks should start any minute" me and her sister follow behind her ,holding the two boys, in silence.

Once the fireworks start i situate myself next to my wife, Harry in one arm leaning against my waist his head on my shoulder whilst I wrap my other arm around my wife's shoulders.

"They're beautiful aren't they Harry?" Rose pinches Harry's cheeks, kissing his head. I hear Petunias son let out a cry
"Argh he needs changing" Petunia groans
"Bathrooms the first room up the stairs on the left" Rose tells her, Petunia hums and heads inside following Rose's directions
"She's not exactly making an effort is she" I comment
"James... please don't"
"I'm sorry" I apologise

"Thanks" I turn around to see Petunia has joined us again

The night goes by slowly, for me anyway, but finally Petunia leaves. I put Harry to bed and then get ready for bed myself.

"Thanks for trying with my sister" Rose gets into bed beside me
"I probably could have tried harder" I whisper
"Yeah" she nods "but Petunia didn't help much either"
"We could take the kids to the park and get some lunch with her" i push a strand of hair behind her ear
"Thanks" we share a meaningful sweet kiss and then she cuddles into my side laying her head on my chest
"Goodnight gorgeous"
"Night handsome"
