"Lily! What did you do to your hair?'
"I cutted it!" two year old Lily Luna Potter announced happily looking up at Ginny. "You like Mummy?"
Ginny didn't know whether to laugh or burst into tears. Somehow, Lily had managed to shave half her head, cut another fourth of her hair to her chin, the rest hung down in limp stands around her face.
"The better question is do you like it, Lily?" Ginny asked slowly wondering just how Lily had managed it.
"I love it! I can put bows on the long parts and color the really short parts like Aunt Tonks, and this part," she pointed to the shaved part, "I can draw on with markers! I already drew a heart," she announced. Ginny looked closely and realized Lily hadn't used markers for the heart. She had used something else, something sticky and glittery.
"Did you draw the heart in glitter glue?" she asked as if she couldn't quite believe it.
"No! I drew it in marker, but the red marker wouldn't show up since I've got red hair. So James said he could make it pwettier."
"James put glitter glue in your hair?"
"Yes! You really think I can draw that good of heart on my own head?" Lily asked. Ginny wondered if there really was a correct answer to that question.
"James Sirius Potter, get your arse down here!" she yelled. She heard footsteps on the stairs a few moments later.
"Yes, Mum?" James asked looking at up his mother. Ginny couldn't believe how innocent he could look when he tried, and he was most certainly trying to look innocent at the moment.
"Did you put glitter glue in your sister's hair?"
"It was her idea!"
"Was not! You said you could make me pwettier!"
"I did not!"
"Did so!"
"Enough, both of you. James, did you put glitter glue in Lily's hair, yes or no?"
"Yes," James said after a moment.
"You know that was wrong. Where are you allowed to put glue?"
"On paper and craft projects," James recited.
"Is your sister paper or a craft project?" Ginny asked.
"No."
"Correct, James, go back to your room while I get Lily cleaned up. I'll decide your punishment depending on hard it is to get the glue out what's left of her hair."
"Yes, Mum," James sighed walking back up the stairs. Ginny turned her attention back to Lily.
"Alright, Lily, bath time!"
"With bubbles?"
"Sure, with bubbles."
"Yay! Bubbles!" Lily exclaimed jumping up and down. Ginny wondered if it would better to try and regrow Lily's hair or leave the horrid haircut alone, at least until Lily realized she didn't like it after all. She settled for leaving it for now, without the glitter glue, at least until Harry got home from work.
