"Hey Harry," Sirius Black said to the little boy as he walked into the small room. "Look at what I got you for your birthday!"
Harry, who had looked up when Sirius had first came into the room, looked at his godfather with his curious green eyes.
Sirius held up a long, thin package. It was badly wrapped and some of the tape came undone when Sirius had put it done, shakily.
"Uncl' Pa'foot?" Harry gurgled at Sirius and then turned his attention to the package lying in front of him. With Sirius' nod, Harry grabbed the package and ripped off the paper. Inside was a broomstick, much smaller than a regular broomstick, but it was obviously made for small children.
Harry grinned, first at the broom and then up at his honorary uncle. Sirius winked at him, ruffled Harry's hair and left the room to talk to James and Lily, then apparated back to his apartment.
Harry, being the excited little boy he was, wanted to try out his new birthday present. Grabbing the broom as if he wasn't going to let it go, he stumbled over to the couch.
Harry looked over to the side and could see the family's cat, Sunny, purring to herself.
Harry, who was smiling happily and excitedly, held the upper part of the broom tightly, just as he'd seen his dad do when he got to fly. He slowly put his leg over the other side of the broom.
Harry kicked off the couch and flew bumpily around the room. He guided the broom towards the open door that Sirius had left open. Grinning, he shot into the room and past his parents, who were both wearing shocked expressions, though James's was more of delight.
James then proceeded to run after little Harry, which made Lily burst out in laughter.
Harry had just realized that his daddy was coming after him and went even faster on his new broomstick. He flew back to the room he had just came from and James, who followed him, and Lily, who was still laughing at her husband.
Harry flew in circles for a few minutes, with his daddy still following him. Lily, who wasn't laughing as hard now, had grabbed the camera. She quickly snapped a photo of James and Harry playing cat-and-mouse, with herself in the corner laughing at them.
Lily smiled at the photo and went back to watching her husband chase her son over the room. Lily pulled up a chair from the table behind her and continued to watch them play.
Harry was getting tired, as it was nearly time for his nap. All he wanted to do was land back on the couch, curl up and sleep. But he knew he couldn't let his daddy win, so he kept on going.
James could see that Harry was getting sleepy, so he decided to slow down for him a bit. Who knows what Harry was thinking about when he did what he did next? Maybe he was thinking about sleeping, and maybe that's why he decided to land.
Things went wrong for him, however, when he had attempted to land on Sunny the cat. Lily was shocked, Sunny ran and James ran to catch Harry. He nearly missed Harry but, by jumping towards him, he got there just on time.
Harry clung onto his dad when James picked him up from off the floor as soon as he had got himself up first. Harry hugged his dad, who took him to Lily, who hugged them both tightly.
After kissing both James and Harry, Lily took her son to his room for his afternoon nap. Harry almost instantly fell asleep once he had touched his mattress inside his crib.
Lily shut the door quietly. She then turned to glare at James. She said to him, "I'll kill Sirius for getting him that." And James, being slightly scared of his wife when she was mad, nodded and gulped.
