Chapter One; Woman's Day
Ron plopped down on the couch in front of the television set with a bag of chips. Then he started shoving them inside his mouth with one hand while picking up the remote and turning the TV on with the other hand. That's when suddenly Snape walked inside the room. "Hey Weasley where's Harry?" he asked him.
"Haircut." He responded.
"Really? We were scheduled to play a game of wizard chess together. It's been forever since we've scheduled one on one father and son time." Snape began before taking a pause. "What about Hermione?" he asked him.
"She took the kids to the beach." Ron told him.
"Alright so then why didn't you go with her?" Snape wondered.
"It's way too hot outside and I might get a sunburn!" Ron exclaimed as turned his head to glance up at him but Snape just simply rolled his eyes.
"That's what suntan lotion is for." He told him.
"I know, but I always forget to bring it." Ron said as Snape rolled his eyes again.
"Alright Weasley I give up, do you want to play a game of wizard chess with me or not?" he asked him as Ron just simply grinned at him.
"Alright, but you do realize that I'm going to totally kick your butt. After all, I am the champion when it comes to wizard chess." He told him as he put his bag of potato chips down on top of the coffee table and started getting to his feet.
"Oh yeah, well we'll just see about that. Harry's taught me how to play pretty well." Snape told him with a grin as they walked over to the kitchen table and started setting the game up together.
…..
After Harry finished getting his hair trimmed, he started driving down the highway heading to work. That's when suddenly his cell phone rang. Harry gripped one hand on the wheel tightly while digging his phone out of his pocket with the other hand. "Hullo?" he questioned.
"Hey Harry it's Aaron." The voice on the other end of the phone said as Harry grinned.
"Oh hey Aaron what's up?" he asked him.
"I just wanted to let you know that I've called off work today. Me and the rest of the guys have got to rehearse for the concert tonight." He said.
"Oh yeah, that's right, that's tonight. Everyone's really looking forward to that. Especially Eve. She's been a fan of you guys ever since she was in preschool." He told him as Aaron chuckled.
"I know, I can't believe she's twelve years old already. She's really growing up fast." He told him.
"Don't I know it." Harry said.
"Yeah, before long she'll be a teenager like Tobey." Aaron told him.
"Don't remind me." Harry began. "Teenage girls are a lot more difficult to handle than teenage boys." He told him.
"Alright, well I better let you get going since my guess is that you're probably on the road. We'll see you tonight Harry and give the family my love." He told him.
"Alright Aaron, I will. See ya." He told him quickly stepping on the brake to slow down a little before moving his foot back over onto the gas. No sooner had he hung up when suddenly his phone rang again and this time it was his father calling him.
"Dad no offense or anything but I really can't talk right now. I'm driving." He told him.
"I know, I realize that son but this is going to be really quick I promise. Hermione just came home from the beach with the kids, and I was wondering if you could take Eve shopping and out to lunch during your lunch break." He said.
"Shopping, for what?" Harry asked him.
"Well,.. you know." His father told him as Harry's eyes grew wide with horror.
"What!?" he exclaimed. "Uh, uh! Why can't you take her she's your daughter!" he cried.
"Because I've got to take Tobey to the dentist to get braces put on his teeth and Ron and Hermione will be watching Teddy and Heather for me." He told him as Harry groaned and hit the brakes again as he started slowing down and pulling over onto the exit before hitting the brakes again and coming to a complete stop behind another car.
"Oh alright," he began hitting his turn signal. "But she's got to sit on a towel, I don't want my leather seats getting ruined." He told him.
"Thanks Harry and don't worry she'll be fine for now. I'll tell her that you'll pick her up later." Snape told him as the light turned green and Harry stepped back on the gas pedal and accelerated before turning his car to the left.
"Alright, but just remember you owe me big time." He told him before telling him goodbye and hanging up while continuing to drive along the road.
…
Harry and Eve walked into the convenience store together before walking up to the counter. "May I help you?" the woman from behind the desk inquired.
"Yes I was wondering if you could tell me where your pads are." He whispered.
"I beg your pardon?" she questioned.
"Pads." Harry repeated in the same hushed tones. "For my little sister." He told her but she just stared at him blankly shaking her head at him. "Oh for heaven's sake! The thing that girls stick in their underwear when they have their menstrual cycle, I need you to tell me where those are!" he hollered angrily while breathing heavily and trying to control his temper.
"Oh those," she began with a grin. "Aisle ten." She told him.
"Thank you! Now was that really so hard!?" he yelled back at her with a rather loud growl and a roll of his eyes before he started to turn around and walk away. "Good Lord forgive me." He said when all of a sudden he heard the woman whisper to one of her coworkers.
"We've got another one of those." She whispered as Harry quickly stopped and turned around before withdrawing his wand and pointing at her before waving it in a downward motion.
"Silenco!" he exclaimed as red sparks shot out of it and she had found that when she tried to open her mouth and shout back at him she had lost her voice completely. Harry grinned before blowing the tip of his wand and storing back inside his pocket. Eve giggled.
"That's was brilliant Harry!" she whispered. "But you know, you really shouldn't do magic in front of muggles." She told him.
"I know, but this was an emergency. It will wear off eventually. C'mon, let's go." He told her before he guided her away.
