This is my first fanfic ever and it's really short. I hope you like it. Please review.
Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, do not own Harry Potter. (Unless you count my copy of the series.)
Chapter 1. The Prank
I am in serious trouble. This thought came to James' mind as he looked at the faces of his family, all different, except for Albus, who could have been his father's twin brother from the past. All of these faces, though different, show only one expression, outrage. They were furious and he could tell. A blind person could tell from a mile away.
Now you might be wondering what James could have done to receive these looks, well this is what happened…. As the family sat down for Christmas dinner everything seemed normal. But once Harry pulled of the cover off the turkey, that took Grandma Molly all day to get just right, an explosion of fireworks came flying out. (Courtesy of Weasley Wizard Wheezes') The smoke had cleared to reveal a very charred looking turkey. James who thought all this was hilarious started laughing at the looks of surprise, shock. His laughter finally subsided as the shock was gotten over and comprehension took place, finally the families expressions landed on outrage.
Harry was the first to speak. "James. Sirius. Potter, may I ask what you think I should do to you?" Harry asked very slowly. "Um, well, um, yes, yes you may ask?" James answered, only he made it sound like a question. "Well then if you were in my position, what would you do?" "I would let myself off with a gentle warning." James said smiling weakly. "Wrong answer."
Harry voice was threateningly close to breaking out of its calm tone. "Try again. You've got three chances. This is your second if you don't guess right then your mother and I brain storm over night. And let me tell you it will be longer than two weeks," Harry told him.
Alright James second guess, you've only got one left. More than two weeks. Weeks. All of this was running through James' head as he thought of a punishment. "A month without my broom?" "Not good enough," answered Harry. Not good enough! I'm giving up my BROOM. My BROOM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Then the worst punishment crossed my mind. Surly my dad would shorten the time span if I told him this one.
"Take away my wand and everything that proves me abnormal to the muggle world," James said quickly because as the words came out they felt like acid.
"Ooo that is a definite possibiltaly. Well James, I would love to hear what else you can come up with but it seems you have run out of guesses. A pity," Harry said as if discussing a business deal that he wasn't interested in. Oh my God, I have never heard my dad act so devious. Was he actually considering taking away everything that made me me for a whole MONTH! This was swimming in James' head along with other things. This could not be happening.
