"You're in trouble now," Hugo stated, pointing to the broken vase sitting on the floor. Lily Luna stuck her tongue out at him.
"You're the one who dared me to do it,"she replied. "You're the one who's in trouble."
"Shut up the both of you. If we hide it, Mum will never know and none of us will be in trouble," Albus said, looking at his younger sister and cousin.
"She'll know, she'll know, she'll know," Lily chanted.
"Where would we even hide it?" Hugo asked, looking up at Albus. Albus was nine, and today, he was in charge of the two six year olds. Well, technically, his mum was in charge of them, but she was busy dealing with Rose and James.
"Under the bed?" Albus suggested.
"There's monsters under there!" Lily screamed, her hazel eyes wide. "They'll get you!"
"Monsters aren't real," Hugo argued.
"Are so!"
"Lily, enough. We'll just put all the pieces in a box and put it in the attic. No one goes up there."
"Dad did."
"That was at Christmas. It's July! He's not going up there and getting Christmas decorations in the middle of blood July!"
"Bad word, bad word," Lily chanted. Albus ignored her as he carefully picked up the pieces of the ugly broken lamp. He had a feeling no one would even notice it missing. It wasn't as if they used it. They had magic and the lamp, a gift from his Uncle Dudley, used that Muggle stuff.
"There, its in the box. I'm going to go put it up in the attic. Distract Mum if she comes this way. Think the pair of you can do that?" he asked.
"How?"
"I don't know, sing some song or something?" he suggested. Lily smiled.
"Got it!" she yelled.
Albus had managed to slide the box into the attic when her heard Lily singing a song about frogs at full volume. He scampered down, closing the door behind him.
"That's lovely song, Lily," Ginny said. Albus slipped back into the room, pretending he had been using the loo.
"Alright, lunch, for all of you, come on now."
The three kids followed her to the kitchen.
"Did you do it?" Lily whispered.
"Yes, we're clear," Albus hissed back.
"Clear on what?" Ginny asked.
"Um, uh..." Lily started to say.
"Lily broke a lamp!" Hugo blurted out. Ginny sighed.
"As if Rose breaking James' nose wasn't enough. Where is it?"
"Albus hid it in the attic," Hugo admitted.
"Snitch," Lily hissed, glaring at her cousin.
"Sorry, I can't lie! I'm horrible under pressure!"
"Albus, go get the lamp. I'm sure it's not irreparable," Ginny said. Albus slipped out of the kitchen and returned with the box. Ginny opened it and laughed.
"You would break this one. Repario!"
The three kids watched as the pieces of the lamp flew back together as if it had never been broken.
"See, nothing lost. Now, about the fact you tried to hide and cover up the crime," Ginny started. "You three will be punished for that."
"Yes, Mum," Lily and Albus said as Hugo chimed in,
"Yes, Aunt Ginny."
