Harry's First Babysitters
Peter Pettigrew
"Remember. No sugar, no cake, no alcohol and under no circumstances is he to stay up past 6:30"
"Yes Lily" Peter answered holding Harry at arms length as the child tried to pull his hair out. James sniggered by the doorway,
"Come on Wormtail, get a spine will you? He's only a baby!"
"Un huh" Peter, otherwise know as Wormtail, muttered whilst Harry continued to discover just how much pulling power was needed to rip his uncle's hair out.
Sirius rolled his eyes, "Want to watch it Pete, that kids evil", Lily whacked him round the head. "
Peter will be fine, can we go now? Or must we wait for you any longer?"
The three left the house letting the door shut behind them, the resounding click echoed by the whimper of Peter and the cackle of baby Harry.
Peter sat in the corner of the living room, knees to his chest and a spatula in hand, opposite him sat Harry who was grinning.
The grin was one his uncle Padfoot had taught him, it was also scaring Peter out of his wits. Harry widened his grin so all three teeth could be seen, Peter whimpered.
"BOO!" Harry suddenly screamed, he then began to giggle at his shaking uncle who was furiously casting a drying charm on his trousers whilst muttering curses under his breath.
Peter raised the spatula threateningly at the one year old, "N-n-no more f-funny business. It's s-straight to bed for you!" he declared waving the spatula as though it were a great defensive weapon.
Harry raised an eyebrow, Peter gulped.
"Padfoot! That was fantastic! I'm so glad I actually let you talk me into it!" James declared as he opened the door,
"I know!" Lily gasped, "I never thought I'd enjoy an actual night out while Harry's still young!"
Sirius grinned and straitened his shirt out cockily, "Told you" he smirked,
"Yes, thank you" Lily said hanging up her coat in the toilet.
"HELP!"
The three of them paled and drawing their wand raced into the living room, not to find a Death Eater attack or even one of Peter's 'Devil Socks' (if you smelt them you'd understand) but to find a giggling Harry clapping his hands whilst his uncle did Grade A acrobatics up-side down on the ceiling.
"OH MY GOD! What on earth did you give him!" Lily cried, James and Sirius merely collapsed on the settee with tears rolling down their cheeks amid their silent laughter.
"Harry! Stop it this instant!"
With a crash Peter fell to a heap on the floor twitching slightly, Lily continued her rant, "Sugar! You let him have sugar! I warned you what he's like with sugar and with his powers growing it's a wander your not on 'Ripley's Believe it or not'!" she then turned her attentions to the stunned one year old on the floor, "Harry, you should know better!"
Harry grinned guiltily at his mother.
Peter twitched.
Well, what did you all think?
