Chapter Four: Breakfast time
The next morning saw a more chipper Harry. He was up at dawn and he made Lily’s favorite breakfast, teddy bear pancakes, eating the first two attempts himself, before he got a perfect teddy bear with a big belly, two arms, two legs, a head and two ears. The trick was to get the pan hot and then pour the pancake mixture quickly without pouring too much for the bear’s extremities. He used berries to make the bear’s face. Then he poured some orange juice and milk, all of which he placed on a breakfast tray, with some syrup. He used magic to carry the tray behind him, as he carried the last of Lily’s school clothes upstairs. He put the tray down on her desk as he finished loading her clothes, and the last of her books into her school trunk. It was actually his old trunk that she had demanded he allow her to use, but only after he had used the strongest charms to make it impenetrable to damage and thieves, his idea.
He glanced over at the bed, and snorted softly to himself. A jackhammer in her room wouldn’t wake his daughter. He just hoped the gift he had stashed in her trunk would be enough to get her out of bed in time for class while she was at Hogwarts. Actually, he had secreted several gifts including a brand new Marauder’s Map that he had made with Remus’s help just for Lily. Including all of Hogwart’s, there was also a small map of their house so that she would be able to check on him while he was there. He kept the original so that he could keep track of her. He had also included his father’s invisibility cloak, with a warning about how precious it was, and to not abuse the privilege he was passing on to her. He sent her trunk on downstairs into the foyer with a flick of his hand, before using a charm to straighten Lily’s clothes for the day that she had laid out the night before.
Harry then went over and sat on the edge of Lily’s bed. “Oh, Lilypad, it’s time to wake up,” Harry paused and when she didn’t even crack an eyelid, he continued, “Lillly. You have to get ready to go to Hogwarts. Don’t tell me you don’t want to eat your special teddy-bear pancake, that I made especially for you?” Harry teased as he gently shook his black-haired daughter awake.
Her bright green eyes popped open and she jolted upright, with a hand on her chest, “Daddy! You scared me,” then she laughed, “Just kidding. You know, pretty soon I’ll be too old for teddy-bear pancakes,” She said it matter-of-factly as she climbed out from under the covers of the queen-size four poster bed.
“Well, I guess I’ll just have to eat them myself, so that they’re not wasted by my daughter, who thinks she’s too old for my special pancakes,” He made as if to go for the pancakes, going so far as to grab the fork.
She grabbed the fork from his hand and used it to cut off the head of the teddy bear. She had always beheaded them first, ever since she had learned that that was how he had killed Voldemort. “Daddy, is it really true that you killed that evil man by cutting off his head with the sword of Gryffindor?” She asked suddenly as she ate one of the legs.
“Lily, what have I said about not eating with your mouth full?” Harry asked as he sat back down on the edge of her bed, with his arm wrapped around the post at the foot of the bed. Lily was now seated at her desk eating her food.
“Daddddy! It’s not full, it’s only about half-filled! See,” she replied opening her mouth and showing him the half-chewed contents.
“Okay, I get your point. To answer your question, yes I did. I’ve told you that before, sweetie, why did you need to ask again?” Harry asked troubled that she would ask about Voldemort.
She put down her fork, and took a sip of her milk, well, actually she guzzled it all down, but to Harry she sipped it lady-like, or so he liked to imagine. “If you could do stuff like that, then why did my mo…Ginny do what she did to you? Why did you let her get away with hurting you? Why do you let people think bad things about you?”
“Come here, baby,” Harry said sadly, patting the bed after a moment of thinking. When she sat down next to him, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and continued, “Lily, I learned a long time ago that you can’t let your feelings take control of you. I hurt some people very badly, because I was angry with them. Angry at myself. Angry at the world. I learned I had to control myself, and not let what others think bother me, or at least not cause me to lose my temper and hurt people. That’s why I always send you to your room, when you do something that makes me angry. That way I can punish you with a clear head.” He paused, before ruffling her hair, “Now that you’re going to Hogwart’s, it’s important that you understand that you have to consider the consequences of your actions. Now, I’m not saying you can’t have fun, or goof off, but realize there are consequences for your actions. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Just make sure that the good outweigh the bad.”
“You mean, like me being a really good thing, even though your marriage was bad?” Lily asked uncertainly.
“Of course. You made everything worth it. I’m just sorry I never noticed how badly Ginny was treating you, or I would have put an end to it much sooner. You must think you finally have proof of how horrible a father I am, don’t you. So you can throw it in my face. But I guess, you need something more then, ‘Daddy, I hate you singing to me all the time.’ ‘Why can’t you be normal, and go to work.’” Harry said sadly.
“Daddy, I love you, and your singing,” she paused, “I’ll never use that against you. You’re the best daddy in the whole world.”
Harry could feel the emotions welling up inside, trying to burst out of his chest, “ I love you, too Lilypad. But hurry up, we have to get you off to your next adventure, known as Hogwart’s.” He paused to compose himself and got up from the bed, he started towards the door, before turning back and saying, “And, Lily.”
“Yes, Daddy?” she asked looking up at him with her bright emerald green eyes.
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine without you here, a little bored, but fine,” Harry said gently ruffling her dark hair, before saying sternly, “Now get dressed. We’re meeting Fred and George at their shop and taking the three of you to the train.”
