"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!"
James Potter was currently hiding from his mother in the broom closet. She was extremely mad at him for giving his sister, Lily, one of the Ton-Tongue Toffees his uncle George had given him. The toffee had enlarged Lily's tongue so much that when she tried to hex him she couldn't say the spell (Even though she couldn't perform underage magic without punishment, she seemed to take the risk when it came to him)
"DAES YU GE DOW EER!" Another voice screamed.
He heard his mother's footsteps getting louder until the closet door flung open to reveal an enraged Ginny Potter.
"Downstairs. Now." She hissed. He quickly got up and walked downstairs to see his sister glaring at her swollen tongue.
He could tell just by looking at her that Lily was going to kill him. He was the one who made her tongue look like this, and he was the one who was going to pay. Lily looked in the mirror to see James walking down the stairs. She bounded up to where he was and started hitting him as hard as she could.
"Ow! Mum do something! Lily you're hurting me! Ow! Lils I'm sorry! Bloody hell, you can hit!" James exclaimed in between hits.
Ginny quickly got to her kids and shouted, "PROTEGO!" The spell was so strong that both of the kids flew backwards and hit the wall. "I swear, you two never stop fighting!" Ginny exclaimed.
Right at that moment the swelling in Lily's tongue started going down until it reached it's normal size.
"Mum! It's back to normal! Look!" Said Lily, pointing to her tongue
"I see it, sweetie. James Sirius Potter you are going to have a nice long talk with your father when he get's home." Ginny said.
James looked down at his feet and mumbled a "Yes mum."
About twenty minutes later Harry apparated back home after a long day at the Ministry.
"I'm home!" Harry yelled.
"Very interesting." Ginny yelled back.
Harry walked into the dining room where he saw his beautiful wife and kids sitting around the dinner table though he saw that one face was missing. "Where's Albus?" He asked.
"He's over at Ron and Hermione's with Hugo, Scorpius, and Rose." She answered.
"Oh… What happened with these two?" He asked, motioning to his kids.
"James thought it would be funny if he gave Lily a Ton-Tongue Toffee." Ginny explained.
James looked down at his hands, but looked up at his father when he gave a small chuckle. Ginny sent Harry a nasty glare after he decided to laugh at his son's misfortune.
"James you're grounded for the weekend." Harry said.
James nodded and Harry thought he saw a small smile playing on his son's lips, but kept quiet.
Harry sent the children to bed soon after the discussion they had. "So the kids are asleep and we have some time to ourselves…" Harry whispered in Ginny's ear.
"As much as I would love to, I'm really craving some custard creams right now." She said.
Harry watched as she walked to the kitchen, and came back with a plate of custard creams.
"Here." She said popping one into his mouth.
As the sweet went into his mouth a small moan escaped his throat, "Mmmm." He opened his eyes to see Ginny laughing hysterically. He raised his eyebrows and looked down, where his arms should've been were feathery wings.
"Canary Creams!" Ginny said in between laughs.
It may be odd, but things like this remind Harry that pulling pranks and terrorizing your sibling was a strange way of saying I love you… it was a special kind of love.
