Interlude I - A Glimpse In The Future

An Ordinary Day

1990, Potter Manor

The atmosphere was tense.

The other two occupants of the room were watching as the two on the couch battled on. Concentrating hard.

Anna had her tongue between her teeth as she pressed the button on the controller hard trying to urge her kart to go faster.

Nick, sitting beside her on the couch, was at ease though as he was sure of his win.

As they reached the finish line Nick won the race and Anna threw her controller on the couch as she got up with a huff.

"You cheat. I know you cheated somehow." She said angrily as she turned to him, pointing an accusing finger.

"What's there to cheat Anna? It's a race. I was just faster and had better power-ups, I guess. But you could have had them too, if you knew how to play." Nick taunted.

"I know how to play, perfectly fine. You just cheated, I know it." She said angry still and stomped out of the room.

"You beat her again. Congrats." Leo said cheerily as he turned back towards his book.

They then heard the sound of breaking china coming from the direction Anna went.

"Hey guys. What's happening?" Sirius said as he entered the room with Ada, confused as he too heard the noise.

"Its Anna. She lost the game." Nick informed them waving at Sirius to join him.

"Oh." Sirius said perfectly understanding the situation. He moved to take Anna's place at the couch and they started a new game.

"You all sure take them seriously." Aidan said with a chuckle as he decided to join them as well and moved to the couch putting his book down.

"I'm going to join Anna to relieve my stress. See you all." Ada said curtly, as she stalked off towards where the noise was coming from.

"What's got her grouchy?" Nick asked as he watched her go frowning.

"Bumblebee." Sirius replied.

"Ah. Still on her case then?" Nick guessed.

"Yup. The old man just won't leave it alone." Sirius said, shaking his head.

"I think its hilarious." Aidan put in his two cents.

"Of course you would." Nick said, rolling his eyes.

"And she was so sure she would be left alone now." Sirius continued.

"Yeah. Anna's stumped as to what to do about him as well." Nick shrugged.

The noise has increased as they were talking as Ada joined Anna with her destruction.

"When do you think they will be done?" Leo asked as he closed his book with a sigh.

"The least they could have done is put a muffliato up." He added as he moved to sit with them.

"They are both paranoid. If we put one up, they will surely think something was wrong." Nick said, shaking his head.

"Yeah. I know. Say, how do you do it anyway? Beat her, I mean. It sure is hard. She knows all the tricks in the book." Leo asked Nick.

"Come here." He said beckoning him and Sirius, who had turned to him curious at Leo's question.

When they were all huddled he said, loudly at that, "It's a secret."

Then chuckled at their disgruntled expressions.

"Come on. Only you and Ada know how to beat her. Even Aid doesn't know it." Sirius whined.

"Don't call me Aid." Aidan said at the same time as Nick exclaimed, "Of course Aidan knows as well."

"You do? But I have never seen you beat her." Sirius and Leo said at the same time this time.

"Jinx." They both shouted.

"Double Jinx." Leo said victoriously as Sirius came short.

"Now you can shut up for the rest of the day and I can have peace." He said happily as Sirius huffed.

"But if you do know how to beat her then why don't you?" Leo asked turning towards Aidan.

"I don't know how to beat her. Nick is lying." Aidan said airily.

"Of course you do. You can't possibly not know." Nick exclaimed, incredulous.

Aidan huffed at Nick then said, "She promised me the unlimited supply of her chocolate stash if I don't fight her seriously."

"She what?!" Nick said dismayed.

"She hardly ever shares them. I would throw all my games for that." He exclaimed.

"You would? I thought you hated chocolate." Aidan said confused.

"Only an idiot would hate chocolate. And her stash at that." Nick said seriously.

"Hey, plenty people don't like chocolate." Leo protested.

"It isn't nectar or ambrosia." He added rolling his eyes.

"You don't like it?" All the others looked at him incredulous.

"I'm just saying that not all people think it is a necessity for living." He said exasperated.

"I like it." He added with a huff at their expectant faces.

"Well good for you. And it is actually a part of the ration in US military you know." Nick added the trivia for their benefit.

"Oh? Well still. Some people are lactose intolerant-" Leo started but Nick cut him off.

"And they can eat dark chocolate which doesn't contains any milk." Nick argued.

"Hmm. They can, I guess." Leo admitted but rather than arguing more he decided to change the subject.

"Its gone quiet." He said and they all realized that the noise of breaking china had stopped.

"What do you think they are doing?" Leo asked.

"Are we going to speculate or should we just go and check out?" Nick said standing up and stretching.

"Oh come on. I was winning this time." Aidan said outraged as Sirius, who was losing, happily got up in the middle of their game.

"Come on. Let's see what they are up to." Nick said pulling Aidan up.

"You guys are such killjoys." Aidan said moping.

Nick just rolled his eyes at him.

When they finally found the girls they were flying on the quidditch pitch, without any brooms.

"It was cool of you to teach us that trick Nick." Aidan said, excited to fly with them as well.

The other two nodded. Though Sirius looked like he wanted to say something but he took the games seriously and so was frustrated, unable to talk.

Leo rolled his eyes and said, "You are free Sirius Orion Black."

"Thanks. I was saying, nothing can beat playing quidditch on brooms. Even if flying without them is cool as well." Sirius said as they watched the girls circle the pitch moving towards them.

The others didn't comment, because they knew if they did he would start an argument.

"Hey! Are you just going to stand there too scared join us up here?" Ada taunted as they moved back towards the opposite end of the pitch.

They decided to join the fun then.

One by one they all launched themselves in the air and flew towards the girls chasing each other on the pitch.

And soon they all were playing a game of tag in the air. Laughing as they crashed with each other mid air.

The day passed in fun as they forgot the troubles for the time being and enjoyed themselves.

The two adults and four kids, flying through the air, laughing and chasing each other, sure made for an interesting sight. Though it was up for discussion who really were the adults and who the kids. For those who knew it, the situation was totally reversed.

But they all were kids that day. Playing with each other. Not thinking about the war that was on the horizon.
