SNIPPET # 1.3
"Harry. Darling. It's four in the morning. You do not want to get up." Harry screams his disagreement with this assessment and Lily gives in, hoisting him up out of the pen and into her arms. Old enough to toddle around and get at things toddlers really shouldn't be touching, so she had James built a small play-pen for him, warded so he couldn't will himself out of it. The bassinet has been abandoned in the corner of the nursery for a while now, and there is no earthly way that Harry would be sharing the bed with her and James.
Outside is nearly dawn. And someone really should trim that verge, she thinks. Must get Peter on it. "James," she calls out, busy providing Harry with sustenance, "you should get up. Snape will be here in a few. Come on, it's nearly dawn."
She hears the unmistakable thud next door as James falls out of bed and staggers into the bathroom. "Your dad's a bit silly sometimes, isn't he?" She asks Harry, who giggles a reply, resolutely chewing on half a chilled banana.
