Lair of Serpents

By The Night Is My Friend

Summery- The five Potter children. All the same year of age. Three girls, two boys. Boys identical and two girls identical. The third girl was thought to be the prophesized. The others were sent away. One prophesized, or was it four?

Disclaimer- I own nothing except Kelsey, Faith, Fay and Harlan and maybe some others no one has ever heard of.

Severus woke from a deep slumber early the next morning. He yawned as he arose and, rubbing his eyes, walked to the door. As he took away his hands he yelped. In front of him was a huge spider web. He cried out again as a horrible furry spider landed on his head attached to a thread. When it didn't move he pulled it away to find that it was made of rubber. He scowled as he pushed back the bits of thread that the brats had obviously put there. He took the spider with him and in his fury he forgot never to open a partly opened door.

"AAAAHH!" He stood stock still but shaking with a strange mixture of cold, anger, and humor. However when he opened the door to the bathroom the humor vanished as a big pot of honey fell from the door onto his head. Then he just sat down on the floor and put his head in his hands.

The four peeked around the door and looked at each other guiltily. Silian stepped forwards followed by the others.

"Dad?"

'Darian and Dalas, go get a bucket and mop with some soapy water, Salas? You come with me.'

As the other two sped off, Silian and Salas ran a bath with soap and bubble bath. Somehow they managed to dump Severus in the warm water where he lay and relaxed as the water started freeing him and his robes of honey and the cold.

Meanwhile the four were mopping up the mess from the pranks. After a bit Salas and Dalas went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

After half an hour Severus was clean and wrapped in a big towel and they sent him of to his room to get changed.

As Severus got changed he scowled. He hated those pranks. It reminded him of Black and Potter. But Potter would never have felt sorry after and helped him, Snivellus. As he realized this he also realized that the kids did it for fun not to humiliate him.

With this thought in mind he stood up and walked through to the kitchen. When he got there he was amazed at what he saw. The children had cooked breakfast! On the table there were six plates with an egg each, six knives, six forks and several plates full of bacon, fried bread, fried tomato and sausages! As he smelt it he felt like he was in heaven then a little voice called him back.

"-ad! I said how many eggs do you want!" It was one of the boys.

"Oh, uh, three please," Severus quickly replied and started to move into the cooking area to make them but two firm hands stopped him. It was Darian and Salas. They had smiles on their young faces as they shook their heads.

"We cook you relax and eat." Severus started to protest but they pulled him over to a seat and sat him down and filled his plate with food.

Not long later they were all sitting down with their eggs and other food.

"No, no, no! You have it all wrong! Darlin was twenty six not fifty six, so he still had his full powers when he was trying to save Atlantis."

"No! You fool; he was 18 so just coming into his inheritance so the powers were new to him, that's why he failed!"

Severus was listening to this strangely educated argument between Silian and Dalas with amazement.

"But the Pythagariatorius theory clearly states-" Started Dalas

"That's only the Pythagariatorius theory, the Rectocorvioso theory says-" Interrupted Silian

"Hold on, how do any of you know this? You're four!" Cried out Severus. The four looked at each other.

"We read some of your books." Said Darian guiltily. It was the truth.

"My- MY BOOKS?" Severus sprinted off and grabbed several of his books and brought them back with him. He gave one hurriedly to Silian. The four year old glanced at the cover.

"Read it. I think that the author, Jancanine Stone was wrong; there is no way that a wolf can be transformed into a human unless said wolf was originally a human-" Darian interrupted,

"No, no! What about werewolves?"

"Werewolves were originally human so-" Severus cut them off by fainting with glee. Potter had given up four over genius children to his worst enemy from school!

Again I ask if you have any requests for powers.
