The Babysitting
"Ron! Please! Can you baby-sit Victoire? Please?"
Ron sighed. He really did love Bill, and Victoire was his favorite niece (slash only niece). But, sometimes, there wasn't much he could do.
"Bill, I really do need to be going to work. I don't think Victoire wants to be stuck going to work with me."
"But it's only sitting on the sidelines, watching them practice!"
"But-"
"Ron. Fleur and I haven't gone out on a date since before Victoire was conceived. That was four years ago."
"I'm sorry, but-"
"Would you like it if that happened to you and Hermione?"
Ron groaned. Bill always knew what to use on his youngest brother. "Fine. I'll baby-sit."
"Thank you! Fleur will be very pleased!" Bill grabbed Ron into a hug, and plopped a small girl into his arms.
"Bye Ron, bye Victoire."
A kiss was planted on the small girl's cheek, and Bill apparated away. Ron surveyed the young girl. She had Fleur's silvery blonde hair and features, but her father's warm soft brown eyes. Ron had always wanted those eyes. But, he was stuck with the blue eyes. Other than his mother, he was the only one in his family to have them. And to him, blue was boring.
"Ronnie!" Victoire squealed in his arms. She had always seemed to like him best, out of all of his uncles. She tugged at a lock of his hair, her sign of affection.
"Hello, Vic," Ron replied back, tickling her under her chin, so she squirmed cheerfully.
"Where's mommy and daddy?"
"Oh, they're out on a date together."
"Am I going with you today?"
"Yep. And we'll have loads of fun!"
Victoire clapped her hands in delight. "Let's go!"
Ron stood ready to apparate stopping first to wonder if apparating would hurt Victoire. In the end, he decided to do it. Victoire very much liked adventure, even if it meant pain. She had once explored the back yard thoroughly. She had been caught in the bramble of thorns, but didn't wince once while being treated. In fact, she tried to do it again the next day.
So, anyway, Ron apparated to the pitch, where everyone was already there, except for Harry.
"Aw! Look at her! She's so cute!" Alicia squealed, running over to fawn over Victoire.
"Ron! I didn't know you had an illegitimate child!" Angelina cried, teasingly.
Fred and George looked at him. "What are you doing with Bill's kid? Did you kidnap her? Cause we'd only accept that if he was abusing her," Fred threatened.
"Relax. I was stuck babysitting."
"Oh, okay- wait! Why didn't he ask us?"
"Because you're immature gits, who would most likely harm his daughter," Katie replied, glaring at the two.
"Us? Harm our niece? Never!" George scoffed.
"I think that's really sweet of you, Ron!" Hermione smiled at Ron. Ron beamed back.
"Where's Harry?" asked Oliver. "We need to start practice!"
"Relax, Wood. It's a tournament. We can take off one day to spoil certain kids rotten!" Katie laughed.
There was a crack, and Harry appeared, holding a blue-headed boy.
"Teddy!" Fred and George cried, rushing over to the boy. They had always liked Teddy. Early on, he had shown an interest in pranking and trouble making. He must have got it from his father, somehow.
"No escaping it now, Wood. We will take the day off to spoil these two kids rotten," Angelina smirked.
"Hey, Harry!" Ron called over to his friends. "Got stuck babysitting too?"
Harry nodded.
"Why don't we all play with them?" Ginny suggested. There were mutual murmurings of agreement at this.
"Ooh! House!" Victoire cried from Ron's arms.
"Any objections, Teddy?" Harry asked the blue-headed boy. Teddy shook his head.
Ron let Victoire down. "Vic, you can decide you everyone is, alright?"
Victoire nodded, and announced, "We're playing fantasy!"
There were several raised eyebrows at this.
Victoire waddled in front of Angelina. "You're the witch!"
Angelina laughed. "I can curse Fred now, right?"
Victoire nodded, and moved on to Fred. "You're Humpty Dumpty."
"I am not fat!"
Hermione leaned over, and whispered something into Fred's ear.
"Ohhhh!"
Victoire move onto George. "You're the king! And she's the queen!" Victoire added, pointing to Alicia.
"Harry's the big bad wolf. And Aunty Ginny's Little Red Riding Hood."
Toddling over to Ron and Hermione, she appointed Hermione as Belle (from Beauty and the Beast) and Ron as the Beast.
Teddy was made the prince charming, and Victoire was Cinderella. Celestina was crowned the good fairy.
The last people to be named were Katie and Oliver. Katie became Sleeping Beauty, and Oliver was her prince charming.
"We're getting a divorce after this is over," Katie joked. But Ron could tell Oliver was hurt.
"Let's start!" Victoire cried.
Angelina grinned, and started by cursing Fred into oblivion (pretending of course).
"Imperio! Crucio! Avada Kedavra!" she cried waving around a stick she found on the ground.
Fred fell immediately to the ground, very dramatically. "OW! Ow! Pain! Pain! And suffering! DO NOT FORGET THE SUFFERING! Just burn me at the stake already! BURN ME AT THE STAKE!"
George smirked, but kept playing on. "We should probably put him back together, shouldn't we?"
"Nah," Alicia grinned. "We can make omelets with him."
"Great idea!" Harry called. He crawled over on all fours, and began to 'eat' Fred.
"We're having a ball!" Alicia announced.
"MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA! YOU CANNOT EAT ME NOW! YOU STINKING WOLF!" Ginny yelled.
"Why not?" Harry taunted back.
"Sleeping Beauty over here and I have a secret weapon!"
"Whatever," Harry muttered, turning back to Fred's 'dead' body.
Ginny and Katie were perched upon a broom.
"Isn't this flying machine I made in my basement awesome?"
"Is that duct tape?" Katie asked in mock concern. "And tin foil?"
"Yep! And We're going to fly over that pool of sharks soon."
Katie pretended to faint, and fall off the broom, onto Celestina.
"Oops. She's out cold," Ginny said brightly.
"You did this!" Celestina shouted, pointing at Ginny. She aimed a hex at Ginny, but Ginny ducked, and it hit Ron instead.
Ron instantly started growing fur, and transforming into a beast.
"Ooh! I can do this now!"
Ron ran over to Victoire, and picked her up, swinging her all around.
"I need a fairy!" Victoire shouted.
Celestina popped over, and transformed Victoire's clothes into a ball gown.
"Go! Go to the ball!" Celestina urged.
Victoire ran over to where George, Alicia, and Teddy stood, pretending to dance. Victoire grabbed Teddy, and made him dance with her.
But not until after she stomped on Oliver's foot, and whispered, "Go kiss Katie!"
Katie was still 'out cold'. Hermione, on the other hand, was reading a book. Ron walked up to her.
"Go out with me?"
"No."
"Be friends with me?"
"No."
"Enemies?"
Hermione giggled. "No. But I'll kiss you."
Hermione flung her arms around Ron's neck, and kissed him. He suddenly looked like normal.
"Go out with me now?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Cause you're not ugly now."
"Wow. That's superficial if I ever saw it."
"That's the Beauty and the Beast for you. At least, my version of events."
Oliver was standing next to Katie. "Do I have to kiss her?" he whined.
Katie peaked an eye open. "Am I that bad?"
Oliver blushed, but didn't do anything.
"Kiss her already!" Fred yelled.
Oliver closed his eyes, and leaned in. He gave Katie a peck on the lips, but it deepened into a more passionate kiss, that had everyone's eyes turned. Until, of course…
"OLIVER DAVID WOOD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Oliver quickly broke apart to see who it was.
It was Carly.
AN: Hm… Sucky, right? Well, review! Again, this is what happens when I don't get ideas.
