Chapter 26: Adventures
Disclaimer: Sigh. Must we go over this again. I would think you would know it by now. I do not own the characters or the settings (unless you've never seen them before) I just like to screw with their minds and lives.
Tonks was stunned. She never knew two children could cause so much trouble in so much time. 'Remus and I will not be having kids anytime soon,' she thought as she looked at the two boys.
The boys were covered in chocolate from head to toe, surrounded by broken wood, and happily talking and playing. Tonks looked at the two boys who chose to meet her eyes at that moment. Two identical grins lit their faces making them look so cute and innocent.
"Alright boys. Let me at least fix my desk. Then I will find something for you to do." Tonks waved her wand and repaired the desk. It wasn't hard. She broke so much stuff with her clumsiness, she had mastered repairing spells.
It had started the moment they walked into class. Hermione, the ever thinking one, had conjured a gate to surround a play place for the two boys. The boys were happy with this at first. Then Harry showed Draco his new favorite toy. That was when it all started.
Tonks was lecturing the class on the correct way to shield ones-self from a harmful spell. No one payed attention to the two toddlers (well an occasional glance) playing in the back.
"Dwaco. See Puff. Me dwagon toy." Harry held his toy out for his brother to see. Tonks had told them they were brothers on the way there and both boys had accepted it. They didn't know what a lie was much less if anyone was lying to them.
Draco took the toy and pushed Harry down. "Me Puff. Me." Draco said stubbornly.
Harry began to cry. Tonks stopped talking and looked at the two boys. "What's wrong kiddo?" she asked the crying boy.
Harry pointed at Draco. "'e 'ushed me. It huwt. Puff mine. No Dwaco, me." Harry told on his brother.
Draco got angry.
"Mine!" he stated firmly and pushed Harry away.
By now the whole class was watching. Tonks tried to give Harry the other stuffed dragon to calm him but Draco got mad.
"Mine!" he proclaimed taking the toy from Tonks.
Tonks looked at the boy shocked. "Draco! Share with your brother. It's his toy. You have your dragon he has his. Can't you two get along for just a little bit?" Tonks asked while she tried to reach for one of the toys.
Draco screamed at her. Suddenly she thought of another idea.
"Will you give me the toy if I give you candy?" Tonks tried to bargain with the small boy.
Draco contemplated for a moment. He met her eyes after a moment of deep thought and nodded solemnly.
Tonks went to her desk and took out a bar of Honeydukes chocolate she kept in the drawer for emergencies. She broke the chocolate into smaller pieces and gave a piece to each boy. That was her mistake.
Draco was angry. He was the one giving up the toy but Harry still got a piece of chocolate. Draco threw the toy at Tonks and balled his little fists in anger. Suddenly there was a loud bang and pieces of wood flew everywhere. Tonks reflexively shielded the two boys from the remains of her desk.
That was how she got to where she was now. Now it was time to figure out what exactly she was going to do with two toddlers so they won't cause trouble. Tonks looked at the boys for a moment.
They were playing happily with each other. Both dragons lay forgotten on the floor as they took turns adding blocks to the top of the stack.
Hermione giggled at the two boys. Soon the whole class was giggling at the two little boys antics.
Harry looked up at the sound of laughter and noticed all the stares. He backed off quickly and went to hide under Tonks' repaired desk. Sobs were soon heard from his hiding place. Draco got angry and stood glaring at the class, trying to intimidate them, while shaking his finger at them.
"No laugh. Hawy Scawed. You no laugh." Draco yelled at the class before going to retrieve his brother. This quieted the class a little. Hermione looked shocked and peaked under the desk where Draco was hugging the smaller boy and trying to sooth him with what little words he could say. "They no laugh 'gain. We pay now. 'Kay?" Draco looked kindly at his older brother.
Harry looked at the boy through teary eyes. "'Kay." He said and they went back to playing.
Tonks looked at the boys in utter confusion. 'These kids have more mood swings than a pregnant woman.' Tonks thought for a moment before returning her attention to the class.
The class continued with the two little boys giggling happily in the background and the class virtually ignoring them.
The magical chime rang and Hermione and Ron picked up the two boys, "We'll take them to class with us Tonks. You probably have enough work to do." Hermione volunteered.
"No, Dumbledore said to take them to him and that's what I'll do. Come on boys, lets see what the Headmaster has for you to do." Tonks cooed at the boys, making her way to the gargoyle.
Tonks knocked patiently on the Headmaster's door. No one answered. Tonks sighed and went in search of another teacher to take care of the boys.
McGonagall looked surprised at the offer and accepted quickly. (Much to Tonks relief) This soon proved to be a mistake.
McGonagall was of course teaching the sixth year advanced class. Ron and Hermione watched as the two boys began playing. The class was supposed to turn a quarter into a unique inanimate object.
Hermione of course got it easily and turned it into a stuffed unicorn with a changing color horn. Ron soon did something similar and they gave them to the two boys. The boys of course thought that the whole waving a stick thing was funny and decided to try it. Draco, with the help of McGonagall's chair, took the Professors wand from off the desk and waved it.
The boy giggled when part of the gate disappeared. Harry grinned and took the stick from his brother and waved it making McGonagall's hair change to green.
No one had noticed the two boys play yet.
The boys made their way out the door (which had been left open) and began wandering the halls. They continued taking turns waving the stick at things and making things happen. The boys ran into Mrs. Norris and found that if you waved the stick at her she would yelp because her tail would catch on fire.
After discovering this, Draco decided to try again only this time it put out the fire as well as vanished her hair.
The two boys giggled as then wandered the school. Suddenly, they shrieked as they were grabbed from behind.
"Now what are you two doing unattended in the halls?" the man holding them asked the two boys.
