DISCLAIMER – I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER OR THE CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY. THEY ALL BELONG TO QUEEN J.K ROWLING

'So Teddy, what do you think we're going to have for breakfast today?'Harry Potter asked his five year old godson. They were both standing in the kitchen of 12 Grimmauld Place, wearing aprons matching aprons and rolled up sleeves.

'PANCAKES!' Teddy Lupin exclaimed cheerfully, jumping up and punching both of his fists into the air to show his excitement.

'That's right,' chuckled Harry, ruffling Teddy's currently chocolate brown hair, 'so first thing's first, we need to wash our hands.'

After washing his hands, Harry got out a stool so that his godson could reach the sink and began to measure the ingredients as the younger of the two started to wash his own hands. An act that Harry thought would take one minute ended up taking five because Teddy decided to fill the sink with soap and water and have a 'bubble party'. After magically cleaning the soapy water that was on the floor, around the sink and on Teddy's jumper, Harry began to sieve the flour into the large bowl that Teddy was holding in place. After adding the eggs, milk and butter ('Can we add chocolate too, Harry?' 'No, Teddy.' 'Aww.') he instructed Teddy to mix the mixture whilst he turned the hob on. Unbeknownst to him, however, while his back was turned, a mischievous smirk was on his godson's face as he was eyeing the flour on the table.

'Hey, Harry.'

'Yes, Teddy. What's the mat-'

FOOP

Just as he was turning around, the young metamorphmagus threw a handful of flour straight at hs face. Teddy was laughing madly, his hair turning bright pink, as he watched his godfather cough and splutter while trying to wipe the flour off of his glasses. Harry narrowed his eyes at the laughing five year old and decided that breakfast could wait for now.

'You think that's funny, do you?' he asked, trying to sound intimidating but it seemed like Teddy couldn't hear him as he was still laughing with tears coming down his eyes. Harry then grabbed a handful of flour of his own and flung it at him. Teddy immediately stopped laughing, blinked at his godfather who was roaring with laughter and hurled an egg at him. Then war broke out. The two started to go through the fridge and kitchen cabinets and began throwing and squirting various food items at each other: flour, eggs, ketchup, mayonnaise and even the pancake mixture. Harry threw some cocoa powder on Teddy which Teddy retaliated by flinging some of the leftover mashed potatoes from the day before at him and running into the living room.

'GET BACK HERE LUPIN!' Harry shouted, arming himself with an egg and running into the living room. He was about to throw it at his godson when the fireplace flared green and Ronald Weasley stepped into the room.

'Harry, mate sorry about coming uninvited and all but I think I left my – WHAT in the name of bloody hell happened here!' Ron exclaimed staring at the food covered duo who were frozen in place and at the messy kitchen.

Harry and Teddy looked at each other then at Ron and said in unison, 'Cooking.'
