Teddy 12
Teddy was beginning to suspect that Uncle Harry, Aunt Ginny, Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione should not take vacations together anymore. Aunt Fleur said that Uncle George should open up his island as a fertility clinic.
New Years eve had began routinely enough. Grandma and Teddy had flooed to 12 Grimwald place early that day to help with the preparations for the annual family new years eve party. Things were going smoothly, well as smoothly as could be expected when Fred and James were bored and stuck inside the same house.
Aunt Ginny and Aunt Hermione had been forced by a determined Kreacher to sit, with their feet up and supervise the preparations.
Teddy had made it his job to try to stay one step ahead of the terrible two and prevent all but the most minor of disasters. So far he had gotten Fred's hand unstuck from the jar of honey the two had nabbed and taken to James' room to eat, rescued James from the flour bin where he had fallen in to trying to get to the pies cooling on the highest shelf, put out the fire they had accidentally set when they had tried to see what would happen if you stared at sunlight through a remembrall, Calmed poor Gog after Fred had accidentally set off a firework, gotten the owl treat unstuck from James' nose and the Bernie bot's bean out of Fred's ear.
It was a relief when the Hogsmede WWW had sold out early and Grandma Molly had arrived and placed a timeout charm around the two boys and confined them to separate bedrooms.
Teddy and Victoire volunteered to help after Aunt Angelina flooed with the news that the Diagon alley store was over run with customers and they could not bring up stock fast enough. WWW was actually calmer than #12 or shell cottage!
Aunt Fleur and Aunt Aubrey had all the babies at shell cottage because the rest of the family were so busy. Victoire brought Dominique and Molly with her and settled them upstairs in the flat, contentedly playing with their dolls. Grandpa Arthur called it the "Weasley divide and conquer method of child rearing".
At seven Uncle George sent the staff home and popped over to the LC for a cauldron to go of Aunt Hannah's famous cockaleeky soup for them to enjoy before they cleaned up the shop.
Lee Jordon's voice relayed the news of the day over the wireless as they sipped butter bears and surveyed the nearly empty fireworks shelves. "A rouge bludger attacked a bus of American muggle tourists today in Leeds. Percy Weasley, Sports equipment regulation head for the Ministry of magic reported;" "Thankfully no one was killed. We were able to heal those involved and they have had their memories modified. It's just another example of why more regulation is needed on equipment being made in China."
"In other news, aurors were called to the tower of London this afternoon after a threat to the safety of Queen Elizabeth was found scrawled by the use of magic on a public loo. When asked if he felt that this threat was connected with the incident this morning at the London Bridge wheel, where leaflets stating that the muggle prime minister should abdicate in favor of the minister of magic were found, Harry Potter, head auror, had this to say:" "No I believe these are separate incidents. It could be no more than a early spate of too much firewisky to celebrate the new year."
Ron's head appeared in the fire. "George by any chance do you sell a sweet that turns a person different colors after eating it?" Teddy spit his soup out of his nose when he caught site of Ron. His face was definitely violet with delicate paisley patterns of puce. "Bloody hell Ron! What happened?"
"We've been so busy in the department today that my team grabbed a quick bite at that new magical pastry shop near the ministry. A half an hour after eating we all began to resemble fabric swatches. You should see Denton! He's neon green with shocking pink polka dots!"
While WWW didn't sell such a product, George did head over to the ministry to try and help figure out what had been used.
10:30 found the parlor of #12 full of very tired people. George had just arrived with a only slightly lavender Ron. It had been determined that a tipsy delivery person had mistakenly switched a carton of "Pansy's patented fabric potion" with "Poppy's pastry flavor elixir."
Kreacher's scream tore through the house. Teddy, being younger and quicker, was the first to the kitchen. There he found the poor elf passed out on the floor, Fred and James jumping, trying to get the pieces of pie Albus and Roxanne were peacefully eating while hovering 5 feet off the ground. It was all too much for poor Aunt Ginny who promptly went in to labor.
Uncle Charlie arrived a half hour later to find, instead of a party, Kreacher on the parlor sofa, a bottle of butter beer in his hand while Victoire fanned him, most of the adults at St, Mungo's, Fred and James rubbing their very sore bottoms, Teddy asleep on a huge pile of fluffy cushions, each hand wrapped firmly around an ankle of a floating baby, and Uncle George lying, laughing hysterically, on the kitchen floor.
