Harry's First Babysitters
Sirius Black
"Are you sure you'll be alright?"
"Positive. I promise I wont blow up the house or anything"
Lily narrowed her eyes at her husband's best friend, "That's what you said last time we left you here on your own"
Sirius chuckled guiltily, "I'm older now and now know you must never put mix the contents of the medical cabinet together and put it in the microwave" Lily raised an eyebrow, "Even if I was helping modern science" Sirius finished quickly and smoothly stepped out of slapping range.
"Come on Lily or we'll be late" James called from the doorway as he pulled his coat on, Lily clutched her son a little closer to her chest,
"It's so hard to leave him. He's so innocent"
Sirius sniggered; "His first word was 'asshole', I hardly call that innocent" Lily glared at him before reluctantly loosening her grip and handing the small boy over.
"Hey mate!" Sirius whispered to the infant, "How you doing?"
"Come on" James whispered leading Lily out of the house, Sirius grinned
"Alone at last. What shall we do to pass the time?"

"Merlin I'm bored" Sirius groaned before looking up at the ceiling, "Oi! Merlin! I said I was bored!" There was a small flash of light and a game of Travel Scrabble appeared on Sirius' lap.
He eyed the game, "Well that's just great! And who do you suppose I play this with?" he threw the game on to the pile of others besides the settee and turned to Harry, "You know. Merlin can be so unimaginative some times. Must come with been dead and all"
Harry shrugged and continued going through Sirius' coat pockets on the floor, he gave a squeal of delight and pulled out a red lolly pop with glee.
Sirius heaved himself off of the settee, "No Harry, I promised your mum I'd give you no sugar, remember?" Harry shook his head and undid the wrapper of the lolly, Sirius lent over to take the lolly only for Harry to move aside, making him fall flat on his face.
"Opf! Ow!" he groaned, "Harry, give me the lolly pop" Harry shook his head and tried to move away. Sirius pounced and his fingers wrapped around the offending sweet, Harry held on tight.
"Harry…give me…the sweet!" Sirius huffed in the effort to prize the infant's fingers from around the wooden stick in vain.
"Harry!" Harry merely doubled his efforts to regain the lolly, "Alright kid, you asked for it" with an almighty heave Sirius hosted the lolly up into the air and over his shoulder, "AHA! Harry?"
He spun round in panic, looking for the missing child. He heard a giggle behind him; looking over his shoulder he let out a scream and jumped about a foot in the air. "AAAAA! Harry!"
Harry grinned back at him his chubby little fists still clinging to the lolly stick.
Sirius looked at him in ewe, "Well at least we know you're magical" he stuttered, Harry gave him an acquiring look, "Oh! Fine. Have the damn lolly!" Sirius declared gently lowering the infant to the floor, Harry grinned.

"Hey, we're back a bit early" Lily called out into the dark hallway as she peered around the front door.
"See" James said from behind her, "It's all in one piece" Lily smiled guiltily at him and shrugged her coat off and hung it up.
"Must be in here" she muttered tiptoeing into the living room, a minuet later she stuck her head out, "James come and see this"
James stood next to his wife and peered into the room, a smile graced his face at the sight that greeted him.
Lighted by the lamp nearby the couple saw Sirius sprawled out on the settee with Harry on his chest, both fast asleep.
"Aww" Lily sighed, "Is that a lolly pop?"
