No but ten year old Bill and nine year old Charlie getting stuck with baby Harry during Order meetings.

Neither of them knowing what to do. He’s so small. So chubby.

Bill so specifically remembers smushing his little face, a face that’s so tired and worn when they finally meet.

But Charlie, Charlie remembers his eyes. Specifically, he remembers telling Lily she has pretty eyes like Harry. He remembers the way they crinkled up into a smile when he said it. He also remembers those same eyes, albeit behind glasses, wide in terror as the looked at a Hungarian horntail.

There are so many things that people don’t tell Harry that they know about him, and it takes him years after the war to slowly start picking up those pieces.
