After Quidditch, the players all needed showers. Luckily enough, there were 5 bathrooms in the new Burrow house.
Andromeda, Narcissa, and Hermione decided to go shopping for a bit, to get some stuff for a surprise baby shower they were planning to give Molly, Angelina and Fleur.
They decided to drag Gabrielle with them, because they didn't know Fleur as well as they did Angelina, and wanted her opinion. She didn't want to go with them, but they insisted. All she wanted to do was go curl up with Ron.

Ron went into his room, grabbed fresh underwear and clothes and went into his bathroom.
When Ron came out of the shower, Teddy was bouncing vigorously on the bed. Ron laughed, and watched him for a moment, then noticed powder bouncing off the sheets in little puffs around him.
He narrowed his eyes, and grasping Teddy around the waist, pulled him off the bed, grabbed his wand, and gathered all the powder to the middle of the sheets. He pulled the powder off the floor, and added it.
He walked downstairs, carrying Teddy, now up on his shoulders. When he got downstairs, he looked around, and saw Ginny and Harry standing there talking to George. He handed Teddy off to George, and without saying a word, bent down and hoisted Ginny backwards over his shoulder, turned around and started back up the stairs.
"What the .. WHUMPH" Ginny started to protest, when Ron gave a little jump, and she came momentarily unseated off his shoulder, then had the breath knocked out of her as she was landed sharply back on his shoulder.
George and Harry stared after him, too stunned to say anything. Then George grinned. Something was up. He headed upstairs, Harry right on his heels.
Ron walked into his room, and tossed a struggling Ginny down on the bed, stunned her with a Petrificus Totalis, and then he rolled up the sheets around her. He summoned her comforter from her room, and wrapped it around the bundle, and then lifted her up and rolled her over twice one way, twice the other way, upside down, and then right-side up, twice, also.
Harry and George arrived in Ron's room just as he was finished. Harry started to say something to stop it, when he noticed powder all over Ron's bed. He looked up at Ron, puzzled.
Ron nodded, gestured his wand toward Ginny, and unwrapped her, pulled the sheets off her, again gathered all the powder, and wrapped everything up carefully, floated her and her comforter to her room, and released her, walking out the door.
He motioned George and Harry out of there. George grinned, still holding Teddy, and just followed Ron back to his room. Ron happened to glance up at Teddy, and said, 'What the bloody hell?"
Harry was staring at Teddy, too. George glanced up at Teddy, whose hair was rippling in different shades of red, striped with black, and his skin was pale and freckled.
They stared at Teddy, wondering what the powder was. Both of them looked carefully at it,
Then, Ron wrapped all the sheets tightly, and floated them to his mom's laundry hamper downstairs, and put them in it.
He walked back upstairs and changed his sheets and looked at Teddy again.
There was a bit of powder on the floor, and George set Teddy down, pulled out his wand, and gathering the powder up in a pile, looked carefully at it.
He didn't want to touch it, but he had a feeling he already had, by holding Teddy. He flicked his wand, "Aperio", trying to reveal what magic was used, or what spell.
"Esmovoir Laetus Ludere Requiro Cupio" appeared in the air.
George groaned.
Ron groaned.
Harry looked blankly at them. He didn't recognize that spell. Apparently, they did.
Harry spoke, "What was that, and what is happening to Teddy?" He looked at all of them, then started to reach out to touch the powder.
"No!" Ron yelled, and slapped his hand away. "Don't touch it, Harry."
"Oh shite!" Ron shouted, and ran downstairs as fast as he could.
Ron reached the room where they had put a muggle washing machine, and where Ron had deposited the sheets. And, then he groaned again, and let his head drop,
Arthur was loading the sheets into the machine and explaining how it worked to Draco. Arthur liked using the muggle appliances, and had installed a power generator, just so he could run things like this. It ran off the water flow from the river that flowed through his property, and a windmill generator that collected that energy, and solar panels installed on the roof of the house.
They both turned to look at Ron, who was quickly followed by Ron and Harry and Teddy. And, both of them were holding the sheets, loading them into the machine.
"Ron, what is this stuff?" Arthur asked, looking back at the sheets.
"Powder," Ron muttered.
Arthur turned to look back at his son, and quirking one eyebrow, "And what does it do?" he asked sarcastically.
It is spelled to influence and heighten happy thoughts, emotions, and desires, and amplify the physical results of them, towards the people you are seeing." Ron muttered again. There was no way out of this. And, his dad wasn't going to find this funny.
"Why is it on these sheets?" Arthur asked, looking at Teddy.
Ron shook his head. "Ask Ginny." He shook his head. Why the hell had she chosen to use this? He knew soap wasn't going to help her. And no way was he taking the blame for THIS.
"Why ask Ginny?" Arthur looked at Teddy. "What has happened to Teddy?"
Teddy's hair was now pulsing between the three shades of red that were George's, Ron's and Arthur's hair, the black shade that was Harry's hair, and the white blond of Draco's hair. His skin tone kept rolling between all of their complexions. It was kind of freaky.
Arthur's face was straining not to laugh. It wasn't funny, but it was. Sort of.
"Why is it on these sheets?"
"Ask Ginny."
Arthur pulled his wand out, and circling it above him, spoke the word, "GINEVRA".
The sound reverberated throughout the house, and although Arthur never repeated the summons, in just moments, Ginny walked into the room as if she was being pulled.
"Ginny, can you explain why this powder is on these sheets?" Arthur demanded, trying his best to look stern. He didn't actually think she would know, since it was Ron and George that had run down here.
Ginny's eyes had been drawn to the pulsating Teddy, and had started to giggle, when her father spoke. Her eyes snapped up to him, and then she looked down at the floor.
"Ginevra." Arthur said, demanding an answer. He could see the guilt on her face.
"IwstryintamakRonstink." She mumbled.
"What?" Arthur asked. He hadn't understood a word of that. When she didn't answer, and didn't look up, he got annoyed.
"Look at me, and answer the question, please. And, speak clearly." He let his annoyance show.
She signed, and then looked up, straight into her father's eyes. "I was trying to make Ron stink." She looked miserable. "What's wrong with Teddy?"
She looked back at Teddy, who thought everything was funny. He wanted back up on someone's shoulders. He reached for Ron, who obliged. He was pretty sure it didn't matter. He had touched the powder, and so had every other wizard in this room, except for Harry.
"So you used powder that was spelled to enhance emotions?" Arthur asked.
"What? No, I used Odiferus Malodorous powder." She was shaking her head. No wonder she was feeling the way she was. If she looked at Harry, she wanted to just attack him.
"Ron, what was that powder?" Arthur looked at his youngest son.
"A powder spelled to enhance happy emotions and desires, whatever you long for, tuned to the people you can currently see." Ron answered. "We call it Esmovoir Cupio".
"Why is it in these sheets?" Arthur asked both of them. He looked back and forth between them.
"I put it there. I thought it was a powder to make him smell bad." Ginny stated, hanging her head. "How did it get all over Teddy?" she asked Ron.
She could tell that was what had happened. Teddy loved all of them, and he loved to copy their looks, and that was what was happening to him. He was copying everyone's looks, and because he was seeing so many people he loved, he was flicking through their features like a fast-forward muggle film.
"Teddy was jumping on my bed." Ron answered her. "I brought the sheets down here before I knew what the powder was."
"And, now it is all over all of us," Arthur surmised. "Does it shower off?"
"Yes, but it is absorbed immediately into the skin, as soon as you touch it." Ron answered. "It has to wear off. We should shower, to get it off us, but it is already affecting everyone."
I'm not feeling any effects." Draco asked. Not that he wanted to, but if they were all affected, why was he not?
"Hopefully, it's because you aren't attracted to anyone in the room." George answered, grinning. "It is designed to work on your physical desires of the people you can actually see. It is only affecting Teddy right now, because he can and does like to physically change his appearance to look like us. So, he is."
"How long does it take to wear off?" was the next question fired at Ron. Arthur was beginning to realize he had a serious problem. How in the world was he to tell Molly and Dromeda about Teddy?
"Three or four days, if you don't use a lot." Was the answer.
"So we all need to go and shower again, and you and Ginny need to clean this up." Arthur suggested. Then he thought of something. "Did you put it anywhere else?"
"Yes."
Arthur rolled his eyes at her. "Where?" He snapped.
"It is all through Ron's clothes and socks." was her answer. She was staring at the floor.
"You will go clean Ron's room, thoroughly. And, you will clean this powder from the entire house. And, then, you are grounded."
"What?" Ginny asked on that last part. "For how long?"
"Until I decide differently." Arthur stated, shaking his head. He was really frustrated. "And, you get to explain this to Dromeda." He pointed at Teddy.
"Daaaaad!" she wailed.
"Ginny, you used an unknown, spelled powder, with no thought to how to actually control who got exposed to it, and you exposed a child to it." Arthur stated. "This was really irresponsible."
Then Arthur had another thought. "And, you gave no thought as to how it will affect everyone."
He turned to look at George, then Ron, "Do either of you actually know what the effect is? Or are you guessing?"
"We know. We tested it on ourselves." George answered.
When he didn't say anything further, Arthur cocked his head to the side, and asked, "Well, are you going to enlighten us?"
"It tends to bring out physical desire," George rolled his hips in a humping motion, "At least in me."
Arthur looked at Ron, "Me, too, Pops." Ron agreed, grinning. "What a weekend." Ron shook his head, chuckling.
"No extracurricular activities this weekend." Arthur snarled, looking at both Ron and Harry.
"I wasn't talking about this weekend. I was talking about the ones where I tested it." Ron said, laughing.
"Are you telling me that this is going to make us all horny?" Arthur asked, incredulous. He had an entire house full of guests.
"Well, it makes wizards horny. We didn't test it on witches." George said. He looked pointedly at Ginny,"Is it making you horny?"
"DO NOT ANSWER THAT." Arthur snapped at her, and glared at Harry. He had seen the look she had shot at Harry.
"Do you realize what this means?" Arthur nearly exploded.
"It means there will be a lot of shagging tonight at the Burrow." George said, somehow managing not to crack a smile. At first. Then his face broke into a wide grin.
Arthur glared at him. "Excuse me?" There will be no shagging at the Burrow this weekend." Arthur glared at Ron.
Harry had quickly wiped the smirk off his face, and noticing that Draco, who was now standing right next to him, had an identical smirk on his face, elbowed Draco hard in the ribs.
Draco, who had powder all over his hands, put both of his hands on Harry's arm, and wiped down it.
Harry rolled his eyes, "Thanks."
"No problem. Just didn't want you to feel left out." Draco answered.
Luckily for Draco, Arthur had been glaring at Ron and George, and didn't see this.
"Alright, everyone up to the showers, again, before dinner. And, Ginny" Arthur glared at his daughter. "Clean this stuff up, out of the house, before all the ladies return."
Everyone headed up to shower. Ron and Draco both reached for Teddy at the same time, and he laughed, holding one arm up to each of them.
They looked at each other, then Ron shrugged, and grabbed one of Teddy's arms. Draco grabbed the other, and they lifted him up.
"Swing me." Teddy demanded. He really wanted to play.
"Nope, buddy, we have to go shower." Draco answered.
"No." Teddy stated, quite emphatically, trying to pull his arms out of their grasp.
"No?" Draco looked down at his cousin. "NO?" He arched one eyebrow. Teddy had never told him no.
"I don't like showers. I like baths. With boats. And submines." Teddy said.
"Ok, let me take a shower, and then we can run a bath for you. Where are the boats?" Draco asked.
"Gamma's room." Teddy said.
Draco started to go get them, and was halted by George.
"Draco, you may want to go wash that stuff off you before you traipse it all over the house." George explained. "Or you may be explaining to Andromeda why that powder is in her room, and what effect it has."
Draco paled, and nodded. He had no wish of needing to explain to his aunt or his mother why they might be feeling arousal. And, he wouldn't want to know if they were.
He let Ron put Teddy on his shoulders, and followed them upstairs.

Andromeda, Narcissa, and Hermione dropped their purchases off at Malfoy Manor, and Andromeda noticed Hermione shiver when they walked past the drawing room. She had an idea, and tossed it out there. "You know, when Teddy and I visit here, he is going to need a playroom. What about remaking the drawing room? It looks like you don't use it any more."
They walked back in, and within a couple of minutes, Hermione had lost her melancholy mood, and was fully engrossed in plans for creating and charming a playroom.
By the time they left, they had plans drawn up, and wanted to talk to Teddy to get some ideas for what he liked to play. They agreed that it was going to be a lot of work, but Narcissa was excited that her sister and her nephew would be coming over on a regular basis, and there would be a child and laughter in the house, again.
Plus, perhaps Draco would soon think of settling down. They decided to go talk to Teddy, and stepped into the floo.
00000000000000000000000
When they got back to the Burrow, they were all surprised to see Teddy alone, jumping up and down on the sofa, with nobody else around.
"Teddy, what are you doing? Andromeda asked.
Then, she took a good look at him, just as Hermione asked, "What's wrong with his hair?"
"And his face?" Narcissa asked.
Teddy was not only jumping on the sofa vigorously, but his hair was pulsing different colors. It almost looked like it was alive. Narcissa thought it kind of looked like Hermione's hair would if she were a metamorphmagus.
His hair was rippling and pulsing, constantly changing to match Hermione's, Andromeda's, and Narcissa's hair colors. His face looked a lot like his Draco's, but that was family resemblance.
"Teddy, where is everyone?" Hermione asked, as she went to get him off the sofa.
"They're Shagging." Teddy replied between jumps.
Hermione started to catch him, but his answer shocked her and she pulled back. "What?"
Teddy looked at her, and grinning just like Uncle George had when he had said it, "They're shagging."
"You mean they are playing another game of quidditch?" Hermione prompted, remembering that discussion.
Teddy thought about that for a moment. Then he remembered why they were doing something.
"Nope. They're horny." Teddy answered. He remembered they kept saying that word.
Hermione's mouth dropped open, and she looked at Andromeda, who wasn't amused.
"Teddy, stop jumping." Andromeda told him.
Hermione reached out and lifted him off the sofa when he stopped jumping.
"I am going to torture and then kill some wizards. Slowly. I think I could actually mean Cruciatus, right now." Andromeda growled. "Even if they are aurors with the ministry."
She reached out to take Teddy from Hermione, and he hugged his grandmother tightly.
"Bath-time?" Teddy asked. He remembered Uncle Draco said he was supposed to take a bath.
