Chapter 4: Mischief Not Managed

Notes: I don't own Torchwood or Harry Potter. This was written with the hurt/comfort bingo prompt: Body/ mindswap. I've been playing around with this story idea for a while what would happen if Ianto was related to either James or Lily and became guardian of Harry? And what if Jack's daughter Alice was really Alice Longbottom? How different would Harry and Neville be? How different would Torchwood be? So yes expect a full story from me when I get the time.

Ianto Jones could feel a headache forming, a rather common thing of late when dealing with five children instead of the usual three.

"Sorry Taddy!" Twin voices chimed as one as Ianto was treated to duel puppy eyes.

An anger that Ianto might have had, he had very little and melted at the eyes his two "sons" were giving his way. "It's alright boys I'm not mad at you but can you tell me what happened here." Ianto asked bending down so he was the same height as his two little troublemakers.

Harry (formerly Potter) Harkness-Jones and Neville (formerly Longbottom) Harkness-Jones exchanged looks that screamed pure guilt and Ianto knew he wasn't going to be overly fond of their reasoning as to why or how they made Gwen and Myfanwy switch bodies.

Ianto had never planned on being a father not with his life at Torchwood but he hadn't the heart to give up his nephew when his brother had been killed over to Lily's sister to be raised, he dreaded how they would have treated the boy. When Ianto was given full custody of Harry he didn't expect to be asked to raise Neville Longbottom as well or that the young boy was the grandson of Torchwood Three's Leader Jack Harkness.

Nor that his two little charges would take it upon themselves to team up with Toshiko Sato to play matchmaker for him and Jack.

"It was an accident. We really didn't mean to do it. But Gwen was being mean to poor 'fan and Nev said he wishes there was away to make her be nice or feel what it's like to be alone." Harry blurted out.

Ianto fought back the groan that wanted to escape Harry and Neville were still young and didn't have control over the magic that runs through them and it was no secret that either Neville or Harry cared much for Gwen after she tried to get Jack to see her way of thinking that Harry and Neville would have been better raised by her and Rhys, after all they were in a loving and committed relationship.

Ianto had promptly told her and Jack where they could stick it, he threaten that if Jack ever considered giving his sons away Ianto would take them far away and Jack would never be able to find them. Ianto had connections that no one in Torchwood knew about and he would use every single one to keep his boys safe.

Jack told Gwen to drop it while constantly reassuring Ianto and his two boys that no one was taking them away from Ianto and him, if they tried to it would be the very last thing they ever did.

The boys never forgot that and they never warmed up to Gwen who returned the favour, it was no secret that the newest recruit had a very big thing for Jack and would dump Rhys in a second if she thought she had a chance at playing happy families with Jack.

"Boys, I know that Gwen can be trying and troublesome but we shouldn't switch her body with Myfanwy's." Ianto gently scolded.

Harry looked incredible serious as he turned to Neville, "Taddy's right who knows what harm we could have done to 'Fan. Taddy can you turn them back?"

"Yay Taddy we didn't want to hurt 'Fan." Neville pleaded adding his puppy eyes to his brother's.

"I know boys and I'm sure you didn't." Ianto had to admit that it was very amusing watching Myfanwy in Gwen's body trying to fly as she awkwardly hopped from one spot to the next and he would say only to himself that the wired chipping noises that she was making was far more pleasing to the ear than when she demanded him to fetch something for her. Still it wasn't right to keep her like this no matter how tempting it was. 'I'll just have to make sure that Tosh saves me a copy of the CCTV footage.'

"Come along boys I will show you what to do should this ever happen again." With a resound sigh Ianto went to undo the accidently bodyswap that had happen with Harry and Neville's tiny hands firmly in his, he could tell this was going to be a long day.
