The Twists And Turns Of A Screwed Life
Chapter 4: Baby-sitter's Hell
"Come on, Harry. We'll go to my boot." Tonks smiled.
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"You're going there, if you want to or not."
"No."
"Suit yourself." Tonks sighed and picked up Harry, carrying him to her boot. She put him down as soon as they arrived. "Man, you're heavy, Harry. How in the world can your father and Sirius carry you on one arm?"
Harry just smirked in reply.
"Is he giving you trouble, Tonks?" Amilia asked.
"No, he's just heavy."
"On question, did any of those tow say if he shows signs of magic?"
"No, why?"
"You might just get more then you bargained for."
"Help?"
"Well, I got to get back to work. See you, Tonks."
"Amilia, please."
"No can do."
"Great."
"Nymphy doesn't want to baby-sit anymore?" Harry said in a childish voice with puppy-dog eyes.
"Sure I do, Harry. Don't cry."
Harry grinned devilishly while Tonks wasn't looking. This could be fun, Moony didn't fall for his tricks anymore, but Tonks.
"Oh, does baby need to baby-sit?" The teasing voice of Dawlish said.
"I don't see them asking you." Tonks retorted.
"We're Aurors, not baby-sitters, Tonks." Williamson said.
"At least I can do two things at once."
"Like your the only one who can do that." Dawlish grinned.
"You do know uncontrolled magic can have pretty nasty results."
"You know you can control your magic." Williamson smirked.
"Oh, but I wasn't talking about me."
The smirks were whipped from their faces as their eyes fell on Harry.
"We'll be going now." Dawlish said and the two left as fast as possible.
"Harry?" Tonks asked as she turned to the young boy.
"Yeah?"
"What did your father say about those two?"
"That I shouldn't trust them."
A smile appeared on Tonks' face.
"Good, those two are Fudge's dogs, They'll do anything he asks."
"Wasn't Fudge Minister of Magic?"
"Only because Dumbledore and your dad refused. I don't know why anyone would ask him, but hey, everything is better than nothing."
"Why did Dumbledore and my dad refuse?"
"Dumbledore doesn't want to leave Hogwarts and your dad, well. Being an Auror he doesn't have to work every day and that's what he wants because of you."
"I don't get it."
"Your daddy loves you and wants to spent as much time with you as possible. If he would be Minister of Magic, he would be lucky to spent a Sunday at home."
"I'm glad daddy's an Auror." Harry smiled brightly.
"Me too, Harry, me too, but I have to go back to my paper-work."
"Ok."
~~~10 minutes later~~~
"Nymphy?"
"What is it, Harry?"
"I need to pee."
"Ok, come on."
Tonks took Harry's hand and led him to the toilets.
"Here you are."
"Thanks."
Harry slipped into the toilet. He would spare Tonks this time, but next time he was going to have so much fun with her.
He washed his hands when he was finished and stepped outside.
Tonks was talking to a tall man, not as tall as James or Sirius, but still tall. He had red hair and five children were standing with him, four of them looking rather bored.
"Done."
Nobody seem to notice him. He smirked, maybe he was going to have some fun with Tonks after all. He took a deep breath.
"Nymphy!" He screamed.
"I'm not deaf, Harry."
"Sure looked that way." Harry said sheepishly as the four bored children sniggered, but the fifth made a strange face.
"Oh, Harry, this is Arthur Weasley from the department of misuse of muggle artefacts and these are his children, Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny."
"Hi."
No reply.
"Hello?"
The five just kept staring at him.
"Not that The-Harry-Potter-shit again?" Harry sighed.
"Harry! Does your father know you use that kind of languege?" Tonks said.
"Yes."
"And."
"And he doesn't really care, thinks it's rather funny if you ask me."
"Wanna switch?" The boy named Fred asked, or was it George? The boys looked so much alike.
"No way." Harry smiled happily.
"Come to work with your father, Harry?" Arthur asked.
Harry nodded.
"Moony couldn't baby-sit today, don't know why."
That was a lie, because Harry knew about Remus being a werewolf, but he also knew not to say a word about it.
"Moony?" Arthur asked.
"Remus Lupin." Tonks smiled.
"Ah, well, I got to be going."
"Yeah, and if you've had enough of those five, you can always dump them with us. Then Harry has someone to play with."
"I will. Bye Tonks. Bye Harry."
"Bye Arthur."
"Bye Mr Weasley."
Arthur and his children left and Tonks took Harry back to Auror Head Quarters.
"Nymphy?"
"What is it now, Harry?"
"How old are those Weasleys?"
"Oh, I didn't tell you? Sorry. Well, Percy is ten, Fred and George are eight, Ron is six, like you and Ginny is five."
"Percy will go to Hogwarts next year, right?"
"That's right, why?"
"I wanna go to Hogwarts."
"You know you have to wait five years."
"I don't care."
"Harry, please."
"He does take a lot after his father, doesn't he?" Kingsley said, walking into the boot.
"You aren't going to sent me away too, 'cause then you'll be baby-sitting Harry."
"No, I'm not. Just came to check if you could combine baby-sitting Harry and your work."
"I'll manage."
"I sure hope so."
"You don't trust me or something?"
"I didn't say that."
"Yeah right."
~~~Half an hour later~~~
Harry was beginning to get bored. His dad and Sirius hadn't returned yet and he had nothing to do.
"Nymphy, I'm bored."
"Oh, well, what would you like to do?"
"I don't know."
"Damn."
But help was on the way, just a few moments Arthur Weasley walked in with his children.
"Hey, Tonks. I have to go out. Some walking table is running around in Bristol. Could you watch these five."
"Sure, just pick them up when you're finished."
"Thanks, you're a lifesaver."
"No problem."
"Ok, well, you five behave, I'll be back as soon as I can. Bye."
"Bye dad." The five said in unison and Mr Weasley was gone.
"Well, Harry, now you don't have to be bored anymore." Tonks smiled relieved.
"Ok." Harry replied and turned to the five Weasleys. "What shall we do?"
"Why don't we sneak out and bug someone?" One of the twins said.
"George!" Percy warned.
"Perfect Percy, never knows how to have fun." Fred whispered to Harry.
Harry sniggered.
"We could always bug Nymphy."
"How?" Ron asked.
"Well, I might have an idea."
Fred, George, Ron and Ginny came closer to Harry as he whispered his plan.
~~~Ten minutes later~~~
The five were playing sweetly and Percy was reading a book. Tonks was going through her paper-work, occasionally looking up to see if the six children were still there.
"Give it back." Ginny yelled.
"No, I think I'll keep it." Fred said, holding Ginny's doll.
"Fred, give it back." Harry tried not to snigger.
"No way, we're playing with it now." George said.
And then the fight started. Ron, Harry and Ginny on one side, Fred and George on the other.
"Stop it you five!" Tonks yelled, but it didn't work. "Oh, shit."
For the next ten minutes Tonks tried to separate the five fighting children, with no luck. She was getting frustrated and didn't notice the evil grins on their faces.
"Harry!" James voice boomed.
"Woops."
"What do you think you're doing?" James looked really mad.
"Keeping Nymphy busy?" Harry tried and put on an innocent face.
James shook his head and opened his arms.
"Come here you."
Harry smiled and jumped into his father's arms.
"What is going on?" Tonks asked confused.
"That fight was an act, Nymphadora. Anyone could figure that out." Sirius laughed.
"Damn, I can't believe I fell for that."
The five children were laughing their heads of by now and Percy was looking at his siblings in disgust.
"Babies." He muttered.
"Perfect Percy." George retorted. "We just know how to live."
James grinned.
"Shall we take it from here?"
"Be my guest, I've had enough of them." Tonks replied.
Sirius sniggered.
"Come on you five, we'll go to our boot, that's much more fun."
