Chapter 5: A Morning at the Potters

"Jordan, get back here and put your shoes on?"

"Nikko, for crying out loud, will you stop pulling of your jumper? I just put it back on for the tenth time this morning," growled a frustrated Harry Potter.

"Nah, nah, nah, nah, you can't catch me," a little boy with black unruly hair shrieked gleefully as he watched his big brother chase him around with a blue shoe in his hand.

Perturbed with Jordan, Harry turned back to put Nikko's jumper on again.

"No. Don't want it," another little boy with the same unruly hair as the first screamed dodging his brother's hand and running off to join his other brother on the other side of the room.

Harry cursed under his breath. He had been up at the crack of dawn because he couldn't sleep. Sitting in the home office trying to work on a contract proposal, memories of his past came rushing refusing to leave him alone. Then at six a fax came alerting him that his 1 pm meeting had been changed to 7:45 am instead, turning his whole schedule upside down.

After which he tried getting through to Dobby and Winky to see if they could come in to see the kids but got a negative on that saying that they had already made plans for the day, which then he had the brilliant idea of the boys starting preschool early hence bringing him back to his current predicament of getting them ready to go and thus him making it on time to his meeting.

"Look if you two don't come here and let me finish dressing you, you'll be late for your first day of preschool," Harry told them. And I'll be late for my meeting he muttered.

"What is pisscwool?" asked Nikko.

"It's preschool Nikko and it's where you go to learn, make friends and have fun." said Harry smiling and trying to sound excited to get the boys to comply with his wishes.

"Yearn? What is that?" asked Jordan frowning.

Sighing and dismissing Jordan's question for now, Harry ran his fingers through is hair and decided to approach the twins differently.

"Look Boys. I have a very important meeting today that I can't miss. I need you both to co…I need you both to help me out here."

"But I don't wanna go nowhere. Wanna stay home with Ms. Winky and Mr. Dobby," said Nikko.

"Me too." said Jordan.

"Winky and Dobby can't come in today to watch you. It's their day off remember."

"Why not?"

"Yeah, why not? They do it all the time when mummy and daddy are bisyes." said Nikko frowning this time.

Looking at the clock for like the hundredth time that morning, Harry looked at the boys. Okay desperate times calls for desperate measures Harry thought. Walking towards them silently, Harry grabbed a distracted Nikko and lifted him by his two arms.

"Ah gottcha!" Harry exclaimed triumphantly.

Nikko began screaming and squirming to get loose. Harry sat him down on the bed and held him in a tight grip while trying to wrestle the red jumper back on at the same.

Thinking his brother was being hurt, Jordan came barreling towards Harry punching and kicking him from the back with his little fists and legs shouting, "Let go of my brother? You're hurting him."

"Arggg…Ouch…Jordan stop that? I'm not hurting him?"

"Yes you are. Let. Him. Go?" screamed Jordan as he proceeded to grab a handful of Harry's hair to get him away from Nikko.

Seeing Harry distracted a bit Nikko sank his teeth onto the hand gripping him and held on making Harry release him immediately. Nikko then quickly started pounding his fists on Harry's chest.

"What the f…Ouch…Stop…Let go. Now." shouted Harry in pain.

Suddenly heavy footsteps came pounding down the corridor and the bedroom door was flown open.

There standing in the doorway was a short petit woman in her early fifties gaping at the scene before her.

Hands covering her mouth and eyes wide, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Looking at the woman in the doorway laughing like a hyena, Harry's anger grew.

"Instead of bloody laughing like a god damn hyena. Come get these freaking cretins of me?" He growled at her angrily.

"Master Harry! Don't use such language in front of the younglings," she reprimanded. She then bent and pried Jordan and Nikko fists away from Harry.

She calmed the twins down and she then turned to study Harry trying to recompose himself. He looked disheveled. His robe was hanging of his shoulders and his hair was messier than usual. She could tell he was furious because his hands and jaws were clenched and eyes his were burning wholes into the twins.

"Master Harry. What happened?" she asked with a straight face. Well as straight as she could.

"He ignored her and snapped, "Just get these two dressed and ready to leave in the next…," looking at the clock, Harry saw that he had forty-five minutes left before the meeting started. "In the next 10 minutes.

"What? Why? It's only 7am?" she said looking from a disheveled Harry to the clock.

"Well Winky the boys are starting preschool as of today. And if we don't hurry and get them there, I'm going be late for my meeting. So just don't there gaping at me, get a move on and dress them." he said a bit snappishly and strolled out of the room leaving a shocked and amused Winky to attend to the boys.

10 Minutes Later

Harry came running down the stairs with his briefcase and car keys in his hands. Looking in the foyer he didn't see anyone. Damn it. Where are they? He thought. Hearing childish laughter coming from the kitchen he went in. Sitting at the table feet dangling were his evil twin ahem I mean twin brothers chatting happily with Winky as if nothing had happened.

Now they both looked clean and decent. They were both wearing long soft kaki pants. Their hair were brushed back neatly as it could get and surprise, surprise they were wearing the same shoes and jumpers he had been wrestling them to put on not ten minutes ago, except the items were on the opposite twin. Instead Nikko had on the blue jumper and matching shoes and Jordan had on the red one with the red color matching shoes. A taken back Harry thought, wait a minute isn't that Nikko's jumper Jordan is wearing and isn't that Jordan's shoes Nikko is wearing. Confused Harry cleared his throat to make his presence known.

"Good morning. I see we're all dressed and ready to go. Um…question though…why are Nikko and Jordan wearing each other's clothing?" he asked.

Confused at Harry's question, Winky looked at the boys and then thought back to her little chat with the boys while dressing them. Oh…she thought. She chuckled and said, "Well Master Harry, it seems your little comedy fest with the boys this morning happen to be about clothing."

"What? I don't understand?" said Harry.

Snifling a laugh Winky told him, "Well you see, you made the boys put on each other's clothing." she said shrugging as if it solved everything.

Taking a minute and then catching on Harry growled deeply, "You mean to tell that all the running about and flinging of clothing was due to a blunder of whose clothing was who's?"

Laughing a bit Winky shook her head up and down saying yes.

Harry flung his hands in the air and then looked at the boys who were meanwhile watching him in their different positions at the table.

"Why didn't you two just tell me that instead of having me run all over the place trying to catch you?"

"Me and Jordy thinks it was funny, right Jordy?" said Nikko innocently. Jordan looked at his big brother and smiled cheekily at him and nodded his head.

Harry chocked back a harsh retort and clenched his briefcase tightly just in case he got the urge to strangle his 5 year brothers. Breathing in and out Harry thought, one of these days I'll look back at this moment and laugh. Yes that's what I'll do.

Looking at his watch he stifled a groan. He had barely 20 minutes to get to his meeting. He raised his head and told the boys sternly, "Come on? Let's go? We're late as it is."

Walking through to the foyer Harry turned to Winky and said calmly, "I'm sorry about yelling at you this morning." Winky just nodded in understanding. She had already forgiven him for his earlier rudeness towards her. She knew this had to be hard on him, after all this was new to him. She also knew how much he was sacrificing by taking care of his brothers and her whole heart went out to him just for that.

Turning to Winky once more, "How comes you're here anyways? I thought you said you couldn't come?" he asked.

"I told Dobby that you sounded desperate on the phone this morning and that I was worried. So I told him I'd come see what was so urgent."

Looking at the boys and seeing them making hand gestures at her, she sighed and then looked at Harry. "You know Master Harry I can take care of the boys. You don't need to take them to preschool today." She told him.

No. It's alright Winky. It's yours and Dobby's day off. I had no right imposing, especially this early in the morning. And plus I think it's time the boys started preschool anyways. The last time I spoke to my parents they'd decided that they would enroll the boys at Luna's Preschool sometime this year so why not a little early. Besides the boys are beginning to become a handful and I don't want them harassing you and Dobby all the time. And don't start that thing again about it's your job."

"But Mas…"

Holding up a hand to ward Winky off Harry said, "No buts Winky. I've made my decision. Oh and about the whole master thing, I thought I told both you and Dobby to stop it and just call me Harry."

Winky didn't say a word. She just nodded mutely and then turned to the boys and shook her head sadly at them.

Hearing the boys sigh beside him, Harry turned and opened the closet. "Come on boys hurry grab your coats and let's go." he said

They seemed to comply because they did what he told them within less than a minute muttering quietly amongst themselves. Mmm…well it's about time they realized who's the boss around here, he thought grinning like an idiot.

Or maybe not because the last thing he heard as they were leaving through the front door was, "Don't forget Ms. Winky, you owe us lots of ice-cream for doing this," they chimed enthusiastically and ran down the steps laughing.

Before he could comment on that with Winky she looked at him innocently and slammed the door shut in his face. With a shake of his head, Harry turned and walked down the steps towards his car sighing and thought once more, oh yeah, so much for being the boss around here.

AN: Well hoped you all enjoyed this chapter…Let me know what u think?

This chapter was supposed to be something else but then I thought that I hadn't written any scenes with the twins as yet so I decided to write this instead.

Oh yeah one thing to WHERE-MY-HEART-RESIDES: I Know I said this chapter would have another big revelation; well it will be in the next chapter coming up soon.
