"Are the boys up yet, Jack?" A woman with fiery red hair and charming hazel eyes asked.
"I don't know, but I will go check on them," Jack, a man with untidy black and wire rimmed glasses, said as he sat his cup of coffee on the table and headed upstairs. "James? Sirius, are you two awake?"
There was no answer so Jack took that as a no. He grinned from ear to ear because now he could have some fun with the two boys. He knew James, his son, and Sirius, James' best friend who was like a son to him and lived with them, were quite the pranksters at school. What they didn't know was that when Jack was in school himself he was a prankster too. Jack walked into James' room and conjured a large bucket full of ice water and made it hover above his son. Next he went in Sirius' room and did the same thing. With a smile he went back downstairs and sat back at his place at the table and looked at his wife and said, "I was hear the whole time," then with a flick of his wand the next thing heard was two boys yelling at the same time.
"James I'm going to kill you."
"Sirius you are so dead."
"Dear what did you do?" Julie asked.
"Nothing love, why would you think I did anything?" Jack said with the most innocent expression on his face.
"The boys may not know what you were like in school but I do. Remember I was there," Julie said as she leaned across the table and kissing her husband before conjuring herself another cup of coffee.
Jack smiled and said, "How could I forget? You hated me,"
"I didn't hate you, you were just an immature prat. Who knew that we would both be put in the same auror training group and that you would have grown up and I would fall in love with you and then marry you and have a son to you."
The next thing Jack and Julie Potter heard was something that sounded like someone tumbling down stairs. They ran from the kitchen to see what happened. When they go to the living room they saw two boys wrestling around on the ground soak and wet. Julie pointed her wand at the brawling boys and yelled, "Immobulus."
The boys were frozen in their tracts and Jack was laughing as he said, "Now boys what's going on?"
"He started it," James said. "He dumped ice water on me."
"No he started it, "Sirius retorted. "He dumped ice water on me."
They boys were throwing glares at each other and Julie said, "Would you two stop it. James, Sirius didn't throw water on you and Sirius, James didn't throw water on you."
"Well them mom, who did?" James asked. By this time Jack was rolling on the floor laughing at the two boys. "Jack get up and tell the boys who drenched them with ice water so they will stop this endless bickering."
"Yes, dear. Actually boys it was me.," Jack said smirking.
"Jack I didn't know you knew any pranks."
"Aw yes Sirius, I was quite the prankster in school. Now dear before you take the spell off them dear, I'm going to work. I will see you after you drop the brats off at the station," Jack said and was about to apparate away when he couldn't move.
"I don't think so Jack. For one you are coming with us to the train station because it is our sons last year. For two your one son is head boy and finally I'm going to let them pay you back," Julie said and then lifted the body bind on the boys and then said, "Ten minutes boys and then you need to come in the kitchen and eat breakfast because we leave in an hour."
"Yes mom," both boys chimed in unison and then turned to Jack with smirks on their faces.
"Julie your not going to let them prank me are you?"
"Yes," Julie said and returned to the kitchen.
Ten minutes later James and Sirius came strolling into the kitchen with smiles on their faces and Sirius asked, "So mum what's for breakfast?"
"Pancakes, waffles, French toast, whatever you would like," Julie said setting piles of food on the table.
"I would like three of everything," Sirius said.
"James where's your father?"
"He should be coming in any minute now."
"Boys how do you change this back?" Jack asked.
"Jack what happened to your hair?" Julie asked referring to Jack's lime green hair with hot pink highlights.
"The boys hexed it. Now boys how do you take it off?" Jack asked obviously very amused.
"It will wear off in 24 hours," James said as he finished his breakfast.
"You know what they say son, pay backs are a bitch. Wait until you two come home for Christmas. I will so get you back."
"Yes but until then, boys go get your trunks and meet us at the car and Jack lets go," Julie said.
About fifteen minutes later the boys came downstairs with their trunks and climbed in the car and they headed off towards the train station for James and Sirius' last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
