Chapter 7
Family Pains
The next day was pretty laid back at first. They where planning to go over to Rose's house near lunch time, but in the mean time the house was pretty calm. Harry had gone to work before anyone else had gotten up and Ginny was planning to leave shortly after breakfast. James and Lily had flooed to Fred and Roxie's house right after eating.
"Al don't forget to lock the door before you two go. Also, put the leftovers away. Where meeting over at Uncle Bill and Aunt Fluer's at five tonight, okay." said Ginny, putting her camera in her bag along with a notebook.
"Okay mom." said Albus with an understanding smile.
"Don't open..."
"Mom, we're fine. Go." said Albus, ushering his mother towards the back door.
"I'll see you tonight. Have fun you two." said Ginny giving them both a hug and leaving.
"Your mom worries a lot." said Scorpius.
"You havn't seen anything until my dad's the one leaving after my mom. He refuses to leave until he's repeated everything twice. More than once he'd go to work later, just to make sure we where all at our destinations safely." said Albus, with a chuckle.
"Maybe its something to do with the war. My parents never let me out of sight when I'm home. I've been here what, five days. I have gotten eight letters from home." said Scorpius, eating some more toast.
"That would fit, you have no idea of the charms on this place. The other house is even worse, It's like insane to get in." said Albus.
"Other house? You have two?" asked Scorpius.
"Yeah, and one that my parents and my Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron share ownership of. That ones in the far north, we don't go there much. I was there when I was five, don't remember it much. I think they plan on going one of these summers when they can get off for longer than a week." said Albus.
"So what are we doing at five?" asked Scorpius getting more pumpkin juice.
"Going over to my Uncle Bill's and Aunt Fluer's. Oh you get to meet Dominique and Louis. Those are Victoire's younger siblings. Dominique and Louis went to France last year for school, stayed over the holidays. Dom hated it there, Louis. . . I think he liked it." said Albus.
"Isn't Dominique coming to Hogwarts next year?" asked Scorpius.
"Uhh... Victoire said she was, but you never know with Dom." said Albus, putting the rest of the food away.
"So what are we going to do until lunch time?" asked Scorpius washing the dishes.
"Why do you wash them. I'll do that in a few seconds." said Albus with a sigh.
"I like washing dishes, its so... its so fun." said Scorpius happily.
"Didn't you have toys as a child?" asked Albus.
"Oh yes plenty. My parents never let me do things like wash dishes and stuff. The House elves did that. I like it." said Scorpius rinsing the soap off some plates.
"Fine, then wash till your hearts content." said Albus with a roll of the eyes.
"Oh I will." said Scorpius as he scrubbed a plate more than needed.
"Obsessive Compulsive." said Albus as he dried the dishes.
"I am not." said Scorpius, placing a cup perfectly in the center of the drying area.
Albus pushed it over, it only took a second before Scorpius re-washed it and placed it back in the center. The same glass was tipped and re-washed several times before Scorpius splashed Albus. Twenty minutes later the kitchen, Albus, and Scorpius where soaked. Both stopped laughing after a moment and looked around.
"Soooo I'm going to get some towels." said Albus standing up and running to a lenin closet.
"Good idea." said Scorpius running along with him.
After an hour Scorpius and Albus went to go play around in the basement area, which served as a game room as well. Scorpius had become slightly addicted to muggle electronics, like the Playstation 5 and all its wonderful games. It had taken him all of a day to figure out the controllers. When he'd played with the guitar, he'd missed everything, but he was determined.
"Scorp, why don't you just play the controller?" asked Albus, twinging at the annoying sound.
"No, I want to figure this out." said Scorpius.
"You could play drums or keyboard. Heck, you can sing if you want. Please stop." pleaded Albus.
"If I don't practice it'll never get better." said Scorpius.
"But if my ears bleed I can't hear the notes either." said Albus.
"Then you don't want to hear me sing." said Scorpius.
"Sing."
"No."
"Yes."
"Never."
"Yes."
"When hell freezes over."
"Suddenly the ground is cold."
"Proof?"
"How?"
"I don't know."
"Sing."
"Darn it. No."
"I will harass you all day."
"Why?"
"I want to hear."
"I can't sing."
"I bet you can."
"No I can't."
"Who says?"
"Me."
"What do your parents think?" asked Albus.
"They are obligated to say its wonderful." said Scorpius.
"Can I judge."
"No."
"Later?"
"No."
"WAY Later?"
"When we hit puberty."
"Why?"
"Voice is changed and you can freshly judge."
"Just SING!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"MAKE ME!"
"..."
"Al, what are you doing. STOP!" Albus had tickled attacked Scorpius.
"Sing then." said Albus stopping.
"No." Albus tickled him again, "OKAY!"
"Yay, okay sing!"
"I hate you."
"No you don't and stop changing the subject." said Albus.
"Curse you."
"Sing."
"I can't."
"Why?"
"Your cutting off my lungs."
"I am?"
"Yes, get off."
"Oh yeah." said Albus sitting up, "Now sing."
"I don't like this peer pressure." said Scorpius, looking up at the screen.
"There's only me here, honestly. I'll sing. But I truly am not that grand. James calls me a dying chicken. If you don't I will never again stop singing." said Albus, an evil smile on his face.
"I am not sure I want to hear you sing ever." said Scorpius, who was glaring at the carpet, "Fine."
There was a loud clunk upstairs and then a familiar voice greeting the empty house. Scorpius sighed and ran up the stairs before Albus could argue. Teddy had knocked over the kitchen table and was now just staring at it as Scorpius came out the basement door followed by Albus. Teddy's hair was brown at this moment, then it turned to an vivid blue and he gave a nervous grin at the two.
"Could you help me find the leg please?" asked Teddy looking under the table.
"How?" asked Albus looking at the disaster.
"I forgot that the parents would be out today. So the apperated scrambling spells on. Nearly splinched. I was aiming for the living room, but because of the charm I ended up in the kitchen. Strange, normally I would have ended up in Brazil or something." said Teddy as he flipped the table over.
"I think mom thought dad cast it, and in visa versa. So this is yesterday's charm." said Albus.
"Geesh my backside hurts. I tell you, falling straight onto a table and being yanked by the charm, it causes a lot of pain." said Teddy as Scorpius handed him the leg.
With a wave of his wand the table was fixed and flipped right side up. He waved his wand again and the the mess was cleared. He turned the two standing there with amused looks and looked around. He could hear the games going downstairs.
"Where's Lils and Jimmy?" asked Teddy.
"Uncle George and Aunt Angelina's." said Albus.
"I actually came to talk to Dad, but I guess he's not here. I needed to get something out of his office." said Teddy, "I'll wait till later. So what are you two up to?"
"Albus was forcing me to sing." said Scorpius.
"Albus."
"Yeah Teddy?"
"Don't make people sing, it's not nice and sometimes they sing, you say there good, and never again will they silence themselves when your around." he grimaced.
"Victoire?"
"I love her, but it's like a Crow... being stabbed." said Teddy.
"Why didn't you just tell her the truth?" asked Scorpius as they headed downstairs.
"I was trying to get her to go out with me at the time." said Teddy, "I love the outcome, but regret to additions to this dating."
Teddy hung out with them and played games for an hour, but had to leave for Auror Training. Albus and Scorpius decided to go outside in the yard. They didn't do much but walk through a bundle of trees and talk about Quidditch. Albus also mentioned muggle games like fotbal, football, Baseball, Tennis, and several others like dodge-ball. Scorpius made a mental note for a demonstration of these games, but lunch time came and they headed to the fire place.
"It's Weasley Manor." said Albus, "You first."
"Ohm, okay. Did you lock the door?"
"...No." said Albus who walked over to the doors and locked them, Scorpius waited, "Happy Mother."
"No, not with your attitude." Scorpius serious face broke and they both snickered.
"We got to go or Rose will lecture us about being punctual." said Albus.
"What about poised and dignified?" asked Scorpius.
"I don't think you and muggle movies should be mixed." said Albus, "I knew Mulan was a big mistake."
"Oh, but I wasn't the one quoting Mushu all night." said Scorpius, "I don't think JAMES should watch them."
"Very true, the whole night I thought the movie was replaying with a very bad accent." said Albus.
"We have to go remember." said Scorpius, both of them chuckling.
"Right, you first." said Albus, holding out a nice vase filled with floo powder.
"Weasley Manor, right?" asked Scorpius, he stepped in the fire place as Albus nodded, "Weasley Manor!"
He felt himself twist and calmly watched the fireplaces change, glimpsing rather odd ones as he went. He then felt himself stop turning and looked to see a rather nice living room. It was rather large and he realized he was in a small mansion. The windows where open and the room was lit by the sunshine. There where nice chairs and couches perched near the fire, he looked at the clock as he left the fireplace, they where early. Albus came through a second later and stepped out of the fireplace dusting himself off.
"Good your here. Lunch is ready." said Rose from one of the door ways.
"Hi Scorpius." said Hugo where he was coming down the stairs.
"Hello Hugo." said Scorpius with a smile.
"I am simply no here." said Albus with a nod.
"Hi Al." said Hugo with a laugh.
"Sure, now you say it." said Albus with a smile, leaning on his cousin.
"Be warned, Rose cooked." said Hugo in a low whisper to the two.
"Is it bad?" asked Scorpius.
"Not as bad as Aunt Hermione's." said Albus, "But I wouldn't favor eating it on a daily basis."
"Have you told her?" asked Scorpius.
"Yes." said Hugo, "She punched me. She did get yelled at though. Still it hurt a lot more than her just getting yelled at."
"No, because I fear her ever since the easy bake oven incident when we where five." said Albus, he continued at Scorpius confused look, "James criticized, her magic blew it up, she cried, and said if anyone would ever insult..."
"You guys are sure taking your time." said Rose, then she looked at them, "Hugo stop saying my cooking is bad, it's not."
Scorpius looked at her, it was slightly amusing, she was pouting like a three year old. He actually fought back laughter as she glared at Hugo and yanked all three of them into the kitchen. He had to admit, the chicken looked good and he ate it, nearly choked on his own vomit, but he ate it all. Despite the fact Rose had yanked it away after his face had hit a green shade on the second bite. She forced Hugo and Albus to eat more though, probably because they verbally abused it.
"If Scorpius dies after eating that, I will seek vengeance." said Hugo.
"You guys eat it." growled Rose.
"We're used to it, that's his first dose and he practically overdosed." said Hugo.
"You are so annoying."
"At least I CAN cook."
"I can cook!"
"No, that should have been proven a hundred times. Scorpius turned green."
"Can you leave me out of this Hugo?" asked Scorpius, although he did feel rather like vomiting.
"I can't believe you made me eat more than Albus." growled Hugo, giving a nod to Scorpius about leaving him out.
"Well if you get sick at least I wouldn't have to put up with you."
"What is all this yelling!?" Ron had come in the kitchen, he saw the chicken, "Oh."
"Bathroom?" asked Scorpius, covering his mouth.
"Straight across." said Ron opening the door and letting him run out.
Rose ran out as well, heading up the stairs and down the hall. Either to her bedroom or the library. Albus stood for a second and decided he had a better shot with helping Scorpius by holding his head. Rose needed a little bit to calm down, he knew her process. Hugo ran up the stairs and to his bedroom. Ron stood there and sighed.
"I don't even have the heart to blame Malfoy's kid. He's suffered enough." Ron grimaced at the chicken.

FYI: Alot of the situations in NG are based on what happens to my friends and I. Just a little magic added. The broken table. Happened. Hurling because of food. Happened. I LOVE doing my friends dishes... I was never allowed to do them otherwise... REVIEW!!
