It was evening at Godric's Hollow and Lily Potter was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Her children Harry and Cherrie were sitting in their highchair happily watching their mother cook. It was October 31. Halloween. Lily's husband, James was working late like normal.
"Hey Lily!" said two sudden voices.
Lily turned to see Remus Lupin and Sirius Black standing in the doorway of the kitchen. Harry and Cherrie squealed at the sounds of their 'uncles' voices.
"Hey Harry! Look at you! You look more like James every time we see you. And Cherrie, you look too much like Lily!" Sirius cooed at his godchildren.
"Sit down. Sit down." Lily ushered to the two of the four marauders.
"Thanks, Lily. Hey where's Prongs?" Sirius asked as he and Remus sat down at the table on either side of Cherrie and Harry who were at the head of the table.
"He's working late again and he told me this morning before he left that we were to start without him," Lily said as she continued her cooking.
"Unca Padfoot, look!" Cherrie laughed holding up the drawing she had done earlier. Harry looked at her, giggling and clapping.
"Wow Cherrie! That is the best one you have done!" Sirius said with a smile.
Cherrie grinned before her mother put her food on the tray of her highchair, Lily did the same for Harry, of course.
"Sirius, can you feed Harry for me? And Remus, could you feed Cherrie?"
"Sure thing!" Sirius lifted the spoon up and tried to get the food into Harry's little mouth but missed.
Remus smiled looking at the little girl, but something happened before Cherrie was able to eat.
Harry laughed as the food from the spoon flew through the air and hit Remus in the face. Harry laughed again and clapped his little hands. Sirius laughed with him. Cherrie didn't laugh, which was very awkward.
She looked down at Remus. "Mo-ony?"
"Lily can I have a cloth?" Remus asked before returning to Cherrie.
"Why what...?" Lily turned around from her cooking to see the food on Remus' face.
"Oh sorry Remus," she said as she quickly handed him a cloth to wipe his face.
"No need to apologize, Lily. It wasn't your fault." Remus said aiming a threatening glance at Sirius.
"Mo-ony?" Still no answer.
"What don't blame it on me," Sirius spat. "Harry must be showing signs that he is a wizard. Both of them are."
Remus kept quiet knowing that his old friend was right.
"Mo-ony!" Cherrie yelled this time, trying to get Remus' attention. Remus got shocked and turned around seeing that Cherrie was showing him with her tiny hand that he dropped his chocolate.
"Oh, clever one!" He smiled, taking it from the ground. "Lily, Cherrie will be a very clever witch. Harry too."
Lily smiled at these words.
"Hey guys!" Came a voice in the doorway.
"Daddy!" yelled Harry and Cherrie.
"Hey you two," James said ruffling his son's hair as he entered and touching Cherrie's nose softly.
"Hey Prongs," Remus and Sirius greeted.
"Moony. Padfoot," James said nodding in the direction of his 2 best friends.
