CHAPTER 1 – THE TROUBLE BEGINS
"Oh, you would never believe what happened to poor Harry
and his Muggle family the summer before he graduated Hogwarts, children,"
Hermione Weasley was sitting in the living room with Ron and their four
children. The children wanted to here another story about Harry Potter.
"What happened?" the youngest child, Celeste, wanted to know.
"Well, you see, it all started the day after we returned from
Hogwarts," Hermione paused to let the four children gather in closely...
"Have a good summer, Harry!" Ron called, waving, while following his
folks, "see you next summer!"
"Yea, see you soon!"
Hermione charged over and hugged Harry. "Have a wonderful summer,
Harry!"
"Yea, thanks..."
Suddenly, the Dursley's came over. "Come, boy," Uncle Vernon
commanded.
And so, Harry's summer began...
The next morning, Harry woke up and went downstairs. Not
finding any of the Dursley's in the kitchen, he took the time to have some
breakfast in peace.
All too soon, though, the Dursley's came bounding down the stairs. And that's
when all the trouble began...
"Well, as you can imagine,
the Dursley's didn't like it when Harry ate their food without them,"
Hermione continued.
"Why not?" their only son, Beryl, wanted to know.
"Well," Ron answered, "You know that the Dursley's were never
nice to Harry."
"So?" Celeste looked at her father indignantly.
"He should be allowed to eat when he wants to!" Shirley muttered.
"You're right," Ron agreed, "but the Dursley's thought
otherwise."
"I don't like them," Mackenzie replied.
"Well, you don't have to, dear" Hermione stated, "I don't think
any one likes them!"
The six of them started laughing.
"Back to the story, unless you four want to go to bed?"
A chorus of "no's" answered her question...
"What are you doing, boy?!" Vernon
snatched the bowl of cereal from Harry.
"Eating. What's it too you?"
That had been the wrong response. Vernon
slapped Harry across the face. But unbeknownst to anyone in the house, someone
was watching all of them through a magic mirror.
"Well, well. We can't let them do that to Harry, can we?" Fred
Weasley said to his twin brother, George.
"Of course not!"
And with that, George pulled out a sack.
After raiding through it, he pulled out a few different pieces of candy.
"Well, that should solve the problem!" Fred said once he figured out
what candies George had pulled out!
"What's Uncle George gonna
do?" Mackenzie wanted to know.
"Shush, stop interrupting, you'll find out," Ron told her.
"Well," Hermione continued...
George put a piece of candy in his mouth and as he ate it, he seemed to
disappear. "Another success with our Disaperogumies!"
came George's voice.
"Yes, sir!" Fred said and saluted his
brother, "You know what to do! I'll be watching!"
"It's time to give the Dursley's a taste of their own medicine!" and
upon saying that, George left the room, while Fred resumed watching Harry and
the Dursley's.
By now, Harry was at the stove, cooking bacon for his hot-air balloon-sized
cousin. Petunia was keeping a hawk's eye on him to, but she couldn't see the
invisible George Weasley when he came in behind her.
Shortly thereafter, Harry set the table and put their pancakes, bacon, and eggs
on the table with their coffee.
"George crept around and dropped a piece of candy into each of the Dursley's coffee mugs."
"Why'd he do that?"
Beryl asked his mum. "I like Uncle Fred and Uncle George's candy! He
shouldn't waste them!" he gave his mum an indignant frown.
His parents started laughing.
"You'll see dear. Why do you like their candies?"
"Well, cause they make strange things happen."
Shirley gasped, "He's gonna do something to
them!"
Again, Ron and Hermione started to laugh...
After he had dropped the cadies in the mugs, George quickly backed out of the
kitchen and into the hall, where he sat on the stairs. He didn't want to miss
this!
The three Dursley's began to gobble down their breakfast. Shortly after they
had finished, the walked into the TV room to watch the news like they did every
morning and left Harry to do the dishes. Then, the fun began...
Harry dropped a plate when he heard his aunt scream. As it shattered on the kitchen floor, he ran to the living room. What he saw there was so unexpected that he began to laugh.
"What happened? Why'd she scream?" Mackenzie asked.
"Yes what?" Beryl asked.
"SHHHHH!" Celeste hushed them, with her
pointer finger in front of her mouth. "I wanna hear the story!"
He watched as a tail burst from Dudley's
backside and fur sprouted out over his body. Within minutes,
in Dudley's place sat a large dog.
Petunia began to scream again though when she and Vernon started to shrink. Within another five
minutes, there was an infant in the place of Petunia and two inch tall girl in
the place of Vernon!
Celeste, Beryl, Shirley, and Mackenzie started laughing.
Petunia tried to scream again, but started crying instead. She was a baby now
after all! There was whimpering coming from Dudley and the funniest thing was
when two-inch tall female Vernon
started screaming shrilly at
Harry, threatening him.
Then, George walked into the room, as the invisibility spell wore off.
"Well, Harry, what do you think? Think you'll have a more enjoyable
summer?"
"You did this?"
"Of course!" George picked up the miniscule girl. "Hmm something
went wrong here...you weren't supposed to shrink! Either way, you need cloths
miss!"
Vernon began to
turn beet red. "I am NOT a miss!"
"Oh yea?" George walked to the mirror in the hall way and set Vernon in front of it. Vernon gasped when he saw
his nude feminine figure." What did you do to me!?"
"Well, VIRGINIA,
I turned you into a girl! A two inch tall one at that."
Petunia started to wail and Dudley started to
bark loudly. 'Virginia's'
eyes went wide. "What is going on? There are NO dogs or babies in my
house!"
"O yes there are!" As Harry started to laugh at his un-aunt's
misfortune, George carried 'Virginia'
to his beloved wife and son!
"Well, I guess two of you need cloths!" George
stated.
"George?"
"Hmm?"
"Where's your brother? I know he's in on this too!"
"Oh...He'll be here soon!"
George turned around and conjured baby cloths for Petunia and a cute little
dress for tiny 'Virginia'.
"I will NOT wear a dress!"
"Oh, yes you will! But first you need some underclothes!" George conjured
a tiny bra and panties. Then he handed them to 'Virginia'. "If you don't put them on
yourself, I'll have to put them on for you!"
That's when Fred appeared. "George, that was sooo funny to watch in the mirror!"
"Watch in the mirror?" Harry asked.
"Yep. We have a magic mirror and we were watching
you with it!"
"Oh." Harry shook his head. "You two are nuts!"
'Virginia'
slowly conceded to putting on her new clothes when George went to pick her and
the undergarments up.
While George was getting Virginia dressed,
Fred conjured a collar for Dudley and Harry
dressed Petunia.
"So, how are you two going to change them back?"
"Oh, they'll change back on their own...in about three months!"
"Three months?!" Virginia
screeched.
"Yes three months. But I guess we can unshrink
you."
"I don't know. Should we?"
"Yes Fred," Harry said, "I don't want to carry around a two-inch
tall girl."
"Ok."
Fred said some words quietly and Virginia
began to grow. Of course, her new dress ripped in the process.
"You did that on purpose!" Virginia
glared at Fred.
"Of course! It's not everyday I get to see a
naked GIRL!"
"I'm NOT a GIRL!"
"Yes you are!" George conjured another dress and set of undergarments
for Virginia.
"There you go, Get dressed!"
A little later they had
conjured some baby stuff for Petunia and put her to bed for a nap. Then, with
some persuasion, they got Virginia to walk Dudley.
"So, Harry what do you want to do this summer?" Fred asked while
shuffling thru his sack.
"I don't know. But I have to do something about these three now."
Fred dropped his sack and its contents scattered. The three of them quickly
went to collect everything.
"Boy you two have created tons of candies!"
"Of course!" George replied. "We have to; we're running a joke
shop!"
"Ooo I like Uncle Fred and Uncle George's Joke
shop mummy!"
A chorus of "me too!"s
followed Shirley's comment.
"Well, maybe we can go their tomorrow."
"Really mummy?!" Shirley exclaimed.
"We'll see. If you are good."
"YAY!"
"Well, Hermione, I think its bed time for bonzos!"
"Nooooooo!" the four children called.
"I do believe so."
"Ohhhhh..." they chorused again.
"Come on, off to bed. More story another day. I'll be up soon to tuck you
in."
"Oook," came the response.
As the four children charged up the stairs, Ron took Hermione into his arms.
"Well, I take we're going to my brothers' shop tomorrow?"
"Yes," she responded and kissed him soundly on the lips. "I'd
better go tuck them in."
"Yea, I guess so," he responded smiling, "but not before I get
my Hug!"
The two of them wrapped themselves in a warm embrace and then after another
kiss that lasted two minutes, Hermione went to tuck in the kids.
