"Mom said I was too young." Harry objection sounded weak in his own ears, while staring at James' broom. Even though it was just a kiddie broom it was more of a broom than Harry had been on in more than a year. "Mom doesn't know what she is talking about, besides she said you were too young to have one not to ride one" James said looking quite sure of himself. "Oh, okay." Harry said. Extending his hand towards the broom. "Can I?" James nodded.
Harry marvelled the feeling of flying again. He looped and pulled some other stunts making his brother whoop and cheer. "See, I told you mom didn't knew what she was talking about. You're a natural." James said, after another looping. "Mom doesn't know, eh." A stern voice said from the doorway. Harry landed immediately and looked with big eyes at the angered woman in the doorway. "Oh, hi mom." James said abashed. Jane marched into the room and grabbed them both by the ear. "Oww, Mommy." Harry whined, but she was unrelenting as she pulled them all the way up to James' room. "You two stay here and just wait until your father come's home." She said, before leaving.
"Sorry for getting you into trouble Harry." James said as soon as the door was closed. "Don't care, I got to fly." James laughed. "You were awesome." James said, making Harry grin. "We'll have to do that again sometimes. James decided to read some of his magazines to Harry to entertain them, which they were still doing when their father walked in just before dinner.
"Now if only you'd done this in the first place and you wouldn't be in trouble." Clark said. Harry and James shared a look. "Sorry dad." They chorused. "Sit up." Clark ordered. Both boys scrambled to obey. Clark conjured an armless chair and sat down. "James Charlus Potter, can you tell me what the house rules are?" He said sternly. James swallowed. "Be respectful, truthful, and obedient and save, sir." He responded dejectedly. "Now, which rules did you boys break, Harry Jacques?" Harry swallowed. "All of them?" He said looking up from under his bangs. "Indeed. You were disrespectful when you said your mother didn't knew what she was talking about, you were dishonest when you said you would be playing in your tree house, you were disobedient when you decided to let you brother drive the broom, you were being unsafe when you did so without adult supervision, especially when he is by far too young for this broom, didn't we say we would buy him a toy broom?." Clark said sternly to James. "He could've gotten hurt, James and if I ever see you allowing your brother to be in a situation in which he could get hurt, I'll make you punishment of today look like a couple of love pats, am I clear?" James nodded hurriedly. Clark turned to Harry. "And you are no fool either, so you are not excused. The same counts for you as for your brother. You know the house rules, obey them." Harry nodded woefully.
