The Lupin Childe - One Shots

This is a collection of one-shots from my story the Lupin Childe (as the title may suggest). They're all by request unless otherwise noted, so if you like them, thank my lovely reviewers!

As a side note, it would be a good idea to read the Lupin Childe first, or, chances are, none of these will make since to you, 'kay?

The "Challenge"

In chapter 13 of the Lupin Childe (I think… I don't know. Whatever.), I made a proposition to my readers. Because I skipped so many months of little Harry's life while he was in France with the Cahors/ Lupin family and all his little friends I told them that if they wanted, they could suggest one-shots that would fill in the time slot. All they have to do is name the characters they want involved and maybe give me a starting point, and I'd be happy to write them! This is the result!

Chapter One - For yellowcardgirl13

Challenge of sorts: characters - Harry and Lianna

Plot Bunny - pulling a prank on Levi

Green eyes blinked open sleepily as a small click was heard. Harry sat up in bed and looked towards his door which was only cracked open a bit, as it always was, so that some light would shine through and he could easily get to Remus should he need him.

He squinted to see if there was anyone outside the doorway, but there wasn't. It was as empty as it was when he'd fallen asleep after Remus had tucked him in. A half hearted glance around the room, while stuffed to the brim with toys and books, showed that it lacked anything that could have just made the sound. Confused, but much to tired to care, Harry lay back down, pulling Maurice to his chest and placing his thumb in his mouth as he closed his eyes…

"Honey-child…?"

Harry's eyes snapped open and found clear blue ones, framed by pale eyelashes, gazing back at him. Pure shock was the only thing that kept him from screaming in surprise. "Wake up, lovely. Come one now." Lianna whispered with a grin and Harry blinked rapidly and sat up stiffly as his aunt flittered away from him and over towards his closet. He watched silently as she quickly gathered clothes and came floating lightly back toward him. She smiled. "Arm's up," she instructed and while still monumentally confused, Harry obeyed. Swiftly and with only a slight rustling of cloth, Lianna stripped him of his night shirt and replaced it with a black turtleneck sweater, and, with the same rapidness did the same thing with his pants, replacing them with black sweat pants. Harry clung to her neck as the woman picked him up and tipped out of the room as silently as possible.

Harry stayed quiet as she took him downstairs and out the front door without making a creak on the steps or a squeak on the front door. Harry even kept quiet until they were well away from the house and pass the front gate before he spoke. "Tante Ly?" He asked quietly.

"Yes lovely?"

"Umm, where are we going?" Lianna grinned at him and adjusted him so that he was more comfortable in her thin arms. "Just to get a little something, honey-child. Don't worry, we'll be back soon and if anyone wakes up before then, I left a note with Remi. But I doubt we'll be missed." Harry frowned a bit at her but was much to sleepy to care. He lay his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes. Lianna laughed lightly at him and hugged him close. "I'm gonna have to apperate us, okay? Do you remember what that is?"

"When you move from one place to another almost instant-instantaneously." Harry stuttered lightly but repeating the exactly what Maribell had told him.

"That's right!" Lianna grinned and a moment later they were gone.

Harry shuddered a bit at the feeling of apperation, it felt like he was being sucked through a straw but he held tight to Lianna who never once released her grip on him. When he opened his eyes he saw they were on a dark street lined with even darker shops, one of which they stood in front of.

Lianna let out a quite giggle and stepped foreword towards the shop. She knocked twice on the door and it open silently. Harry glanced at his aunt but since she didn't seem the least bit worried he bit his toung and hoped for the best.

Lianna, still carrying him, stepped through the door and it closed just as quietly as it had opened behind them. And then the lights burst to life. "Lianna! How are you? It's been too long!"

Harry started and craned his head to see who had spoken. A short man, shorter then Lianna by about a foot, stepped through a doorway of the brightly lit and colorful shop. "Hi Timothy!" Lianna chirped in greeting and the two came together and Lianna bent down slightly so that the man could kiss her cheek.

"And who is this?" the man, Timothy apparently, ask jovially and Harry blinked at him mouth slightly agape. The man was brightly dressed in pink and purple stripped pajamas and the shop around them only added to the oddness of the situation. Streamers hung from the ceiling and the walls were packed with boxes and toys all equally bright. Some of them were even exploding on their own or emitting pops or bubbles. Harry wasn't sure where they were but it certainly wasn't what he was expecting with all the sneaking around Lianna had been doing.

"Oh this is Harry! He's my nephew!" The man blinked owlishly and squinted at him.

"Well he looks a bit like Maribell but he's not hers, surely." Lianna laughed.

"Oh no, he's Remus'"

"Ah," the man nodded. "That makes more sense."

"Anyway," Lianna continued. "Where her for a little bit of business."

The man slowly let a slightly evil grin creep onto his face. "Well of course," he purred. "Follow me to the back…"

The next morning Harry sat quietly at the kitchen table as Maman flitted around making breakfast. Remus was sitting next to him reading the paper which Harry had already determined was the French version of the magical paper Madam Poppy sometimes had. The man had come to wake him up about half an hour ago and as he promised Lianna the night before he kept quite about their outing… and the vile of liquid he held in his pajama pocket.

As if summoned by the thought Lianna came through the door. "Good morning!" she greeted breezily. And sat in the seat next to Harry and winked at him in a rather obvious way. Gran who's back was turned only said good morning back and quickly smiled at her youngest daughter but Remus who was in clear view of her face raised an eyebrow at the gesture before shaking his head. He didn't want to know.

"Morning, Lianna. Sleep well?" Lianna sighed over dramatically and dropped her head on the table.

"My gosh! I tossed in turned all night! It was like I didn't get any sleep at all!"

Remus blinked slowly and Lianna expertly held her innocent look. Harry had to press his lips to keep from smiling. "…What are you up to?" Remus asked hesitantly.

"Nothing." Lianna smirked.

"'Nothing' nothing or nothing to do with me 'nothing'?"

"The second one."

Both Lianna and Remus looked in surprise down at Harry who was looking at his adoptive father seriously. Lianna ruffled his hair with a smile and Remus sighed. "Fine." he relented. "But nothing had better blow up."

Harry and Lianna glanced at each other. "Err…" Lianna started before a 'boom' echoed from upstairs and shook the house.

Harry along with Remus and Maman looked up at the ceiling. A moment later a yell was heard followed by a series of bangs as furniture obviously fell over and the stomping of feet as someone raced down the stairs. Mere seconds later Leverett burst through the door, or… at least what they thought was Leverett.

Maman covered her mouth as a chocked sound emitted from her and Remus out right laughed. Leverett glared, seething. "Lianna…" he growled and even she had trouble keeping a strait face as she took in the sight.

Leverett, once a proud six foot three had shrunk to a meager four feet and was now colored a deep sea green. His hair, usually slight messy was sticking strait up and defying all laws of gravity and scorch marks were in place of where his eyebrows used to be. As he flared his nostrils in anger, tiny pink hearts floated out and as they popped, purple glitter rained down on the man, making him sparkle in the light.

"Hi Levi," Lianna greeted and hastily picked up Harry. "Now, now. You wouldn't fatally injured your baby sister who just so happens to be carrying your favorite nephew, right?"

"I'll be sure not to miss," Leverett growled and whipped out his wand. Lianna's eyes widened.

"Now Harry!" she squeaked and after starting a moment Harry, much to the surprise of the other three in the room, fished a vile out of his pocket and threw it at Leverett who out of surprise didn't even consider moving until the little glass cylinder broke at his feet. A yellow cloud of smoke enveloped him and when it cleared Maman chocked again with laughter as did Remus and Lianna. Harry giggled.

Leverett stared down at himself and a dark green color which could only be described as a blush considering the color of his skin rose to his face. He was now, instead of pajamas, dressed in a mini skirt and a coconut bra, with the added appendages to fill it. Much to his mortification he even felt something, well, lack of something, between his legs. Lianna giggle insanely and after passing Harry off to Remus took off out of the back door. Leverett's mind took only a moment to catch up to the situation before he took off after her.

Maman, grinning madly, rushed to the back door and looked out. "Oh Remi, look!" he snickered and Remus rose to peek out as well and indeed it was something to snicker at. Levi seemed to have forgot it was early winter and they'd had their first frost several days ago. He was hopping from foot to foot to avoid the cold of the white dusting still on the ground and Lianna was laughing loudly at him as she pelted him with snowballs that when they fit him decorated his green skin with patched of pink.

"Where'd she get snowballs from?" Remus asked himself aloud as he looked around. There hadn't been nearly enough snow on the ground for the amount Lianna seemed to have in her possession.

"We bought them last night from Mr. Timothy," Harry supplied helpfully and grinned when Levertte's face became pink coated. Maman blinked.

"Mr. Timothy?" she questioned. "Not Timothy Pastey? The man who owns the joke shoppe?"

Remus quirked a smile as a snowball the size of a basketball hit Levi in the stomach, making him 'oomph!' and showering him in a sticky blue substance that glowed with a florescent light. "I think that may be him."

"What. Happened." A voice questioned behind them and Harry smiled over Remus' shoulder at a irritated looking Maribell.

"Me and aunt Lianna pranked oncle Levi!" he told her happily as she joined them at the back door. She looked tired and wore a grim look which wasn't all that surprising since it was still way before 12 o'clock, her normal wake up time.

She hummed in acknowledgement and pulled out her wand sending a body binding spell at both of her siblings who, having not seen her, didn't have time to react and feel on the still cold ground as their bodies snapped to attention. Almost lazily she flicked her wand and ropes appeared around their ankles and with another flick they were suspended upside down to one of the many trees in the yard. A soft 'finite' ended the body binding spell and both Lianna and Leverett gaped at her from there positions, Leverett once again 'blushing' as his skirt fell up revealing frilly orange panties. Remus dutifully covered Harry's eyes and turned away.

"Okay, that's enough of that." he muttered and went to sit back down. Maman ignoring her children's shouts of for assistance closed the back door to the cool here and went back to preparing breakfast. Maribell replaced her wand in her bath robe pocket and walked out of the kitchen, ruffling Harry's hair fondly on the way out. Harry blinked as a cup of coco in front of him and smiled up at Maman.

"Thank you Gran." he said and she smiled. "

That's for a job well done." she grinned and Harry blushed and grinned back shyly as he settled back into Remus' chest. Well, the skirt and bra had been his idea…

Hoped you liked that yellowcardgirl13! I tried my very best! I hoped everyone else liked it too. Feel free to make suggestions for future chapters.
