An: All kids have quirks. Some are cute and adorable some scare the crap out of you. But very rarely do they make sense.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The 5 children were all playing together, as they usually did on weekends. It was the first of spring and they had all settled into their new, gifted school. There were a few hiccups at the beginning when the first school they tried wanted to separate Harry and Hermione from the others. Amelia and Moody had to be called in due to an explosion of magical mayhem. They still weren't sure how 2 magical kids had caused so much trouble. The second school was a bit farther away and more expensive but tailored the work to benefit each child and was designed for students of different levels to all work in one class together. They only had 7 other class mates but they were friendly with each other.

Knowing Harry, the real Harry, not the one that was terrified of his own shadow, for more than a minute could tell you he was smart, curious and shy. It took a bit longer to learn he was also a dare devil who was afraid of nothing, well afraid of nothing accept strangers. But he was getting over the trauma of nearly 3 years with those monsters.

Dan and Qadir had command of the children that day, all except Rachel who had to go to her eldest brother's rugby game. They had been having a lively debate about sports. Qadir argued that golf shouldn't be a sport and Dan thought otherwise. The two were inattentive for only a few minutes. And as any parent knows that's all it takes.

Qadir noticed first. His ears told him something was amiss. It was quite. Far to quite for 4 very active children to be playing in the back yard. So they looked. It was so quite because there were NO children in the yard. All four were gone, vanished. They were like sneaky ninja and when there wives got back from a girls day shopping and visiting the spa they were going to kill them. Dan was sure by the end of the night Emma would be a widow, do to her ringing his neck or Amelia he wasn't sure. He did think Diya would be busy with her own husband.

The two fathers ran outside to find their children. Because even in a safe neighborhood like theirs 2 five-year-old's and 2 four-year-old's alone is not good. It didn't take long to find them. In fact as soon as they headed out the front door to check the neighborhood Hermione called to them and waved. It did however take several minutes for the fathers to get their hearts back in their proper place and minds to confirm what they were seeming.

Harry, Hermione, Susan and Dean were on the roof of the Granger house playing tightrope using the eave of the roof as their rope. How they got up there and where they got the idea was a mystery. So was how to get them down. Well till the ring leader had another marvelous idea.

Harry stood on the eave perfectly balanced looking down at a shell shocked Dan and Qadir. He then got what has sense been called the Marauder smile, on his face. He shrieked "CATCH ME!" and ran down the side of the roof and jumped... JUMPED OFF, right at Dan. Thankfully he still had enough wits to catch the hellion. Harry's momentum took them to the ground but neither were hurt. Susan being just as reckless as Harry repeated his stunt on poor Qadir. All the poor men could do was blink at these two and hope the others didn't follow.

They didn't Hermione and Dean slid down the roof on their butts then shimmied down the water spout. They did run over and drag their friends off to go play. Dan and Qadir were far to out of it still to object to going to the park. Once the kids were safely on the playground and not likely to do any more wild stunts Dan turned to Qadir. "We don't tell anyone ever. Agreed?"

"And we never take the children to the circus." He added nodding in agreement. There wives would never know this happened, never ever, if they could help it. Hopefully it was a one time incident.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Unfortunately it wasn't. That was just the beginning of Harry the high wire act. They learned that Harry could climb near anything and he loved to be in the air. The less between him and free fall the better it seemed. Emma would never forget when she was called to the school because Harry, and the others of course, some how ended up in the rafters of the gymnasium. Not walking the tight rope like last time... oh no. They where all hanging upside down using the lips on the I-beams and playing spy. Why you ask? Because it seemed like fun.

The gym teacher had called the headmaster and he called Emma. They were trying to get a ladder tall enough to get up there but they couldn't find one. It was just the teacher, Headmaster, Emma, Dan, Diya and Sirius in the gym by them. The kids were like cats that got up a tree. They didn't know how to come down again. They were all getting very tired.

That was when the trouble really began. They were all nodding off against each other. The adults were yelling trying to keep them awake but it wasn't working. They all began to sway. Susan was first. She swayed to far and slipped. She was startled awake by falling and grabbed Harry who tried to stay up but he was tired and the beam was slippery. The others grabbed him and all 5 went down. There were falling 4 stories at least. An there was nothing they could do about it.

Sirius, being the only wizard had the choice of a life time and split seconds to make it. He could only cast one spell. He could only save one of them. He knew Susan and Harry would likely be ok because their magic would save them but the other 3 were near doomed. He cast at the one that was falling fastest. His spell hit Rachel and she came to a stop mid air and lowered gently to the floor. Susan hit the ground first. Then she bounced like she was made of rubber. Harry and Hermione both stopped themselves several inches above the ground and just hovered before looking down, which is when they fell the last little bit. Dean... Dean splashed. He hit the ground and flattened like a cartoon character before peeling off just like in cartoons and then 'popping' back to 3D.

There was total silence from the adults. Emma came out of it first and ran to her two kids. Hearing the silence broken Diya copied her checking over her son. Sirius sent a Patronus to Amelia letting her know what happened and that there were 2 muggles that needed memory augmentation. He then checked on Rachel. He preformed a charm on her to test for active magic. He was relieved to know he had saved a life. Rachel was a pure born, home grown muggle with out an ounce of magic. Once the teacher, and the Headmaster were taken care of he ran the charm on all the children just in case. They were all positive. There was going to be a talk between the family and now the Thomas' would need to be included.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Once all the families save the Tymes were there they started the discussion. It went long into the evening explaining what happened and about magic. The Thomas' didn't have to much trouble believing them, not when there were wizards and witches to give proof. They were all more concerned about the kids love of high dangerous places.

"I think we should enroll them in gymnastics." Remus said

"You want to give them more ideas to do more crazy stunts?" Amelia shouted back. "Are you mad?"
"Actually I think he may be on to something." Emma said.

"I agree." Added Alexander. "If they get all this out of their system in a safe environment they will be less likely to make mischief at home."

"And exercise using magic." Moddy added since he was there to help erase and rewrite memories. "The more they use up the less is left for the out bursts we've been seeing."

"Yeah and all of them read high for their age. Harry being nearly off the charts." Sirius told them. "that could be why they are so hyper and active. They have such powerful cores, even at this age."

"I think we will have to watch the brain children even more now. We all know how clever and intelligent they are. Who want's to bet they don't start playing with magic now that they know it's there?" Dan added to the collective.

"What are we going to do about Rachel?" Angie asked. "She's a normal girl. She won't go to Hogwarts like the others. They all care for her but would it be better for them all to lose a friend now or wait till 11? Or do we tell her father about magic and let them try and stay friends?" She seemed worried about the girl.

"Can we let Rachel know but not her family?" Qadir asked. "You said the issue with people like Hermione and Dean is exposure. That witch hunts will start again. Then the fewer that know the better but I don't like taking away the kids friend."

"Yes we can." Amelia said "and I agree. I can see all the points you have all made. We will find all the physical activities that 4 and 5 year old's can enroll in and Moddy will put a spell on Rachel so that she can't mention magic to anyone that doesn't know already. If their relationship turns sour then she can't use that against them or expose magic. The kids can pick what they want to try and that will be that."

"Knowing ours they will want to do everything." Dan joked, But no one laughed because they didn't doubt it.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AN: so Harry's crazy harebrained ideas start early. And they learn who is magical

The reason the Longbottoms try to 'scare' the magic out of Neville, like in cannon, is... because the spell can show a false positive when used on squibs. Sometimes it doesn't like with Cathryn Weston when the Death Eaters attacked... Yeah that sounds plausible, we'll go with that.

Don't worry Rachel will be their friend for a long while still.
