It was the morning of the first quidditch match of the season – Gryffindor 'vs' Slytherin, and the morning on which the three Malfoy's had decided to bring their plan to fruition. No better way to land their parents in detention than to do it in front of the whole school, now is there?!...
The great hall was abuzz with excitement, Green and Red colors flowing all around the hall, after all it was the morning of the match between the schools biggest rivalry. Everyone seemed to be in a great mood except for the 'Parkers'. Lily couldn't help but notice how anxious the siblings looked hunched over on a single notebook. It looked like they were nervous about something, whispering back and forth and even having what looked like a whispered shouting match.
For the life of her Lily couldn't understand what could be so nerve inducing on a morning like this. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, bees were humming, happily collecting nectar… everything and everyone was cheerful and excited, except for those three.
On the other side of the table, Abigail sat anxiously going over their plan a hundredth time while her brothers checked the inventory list.
"Are you sure you remember everything? How to do it and all? What if you screw it up? What happens then?" Terrance whispered harshly to his brother who seemed to be doing some sort of mental calculation that had him focusing all his energy and would probably give him a headache later.
"It's not like there were a thousand things to remember, Terrance, and I have done this before, remember?!" Regis replied once he was done with the mental check.
"Yes but knowing you, you could leave a troll sitting in the living room and forget all about it."
"Would you two please stop behaving like children?" Abigail whisper shouted at the two.
"That is…" before Regis could complete his sentence though, a loud screech echoed through the hall. There in the middle of the great hall, a small, round metallic 'thing' sat puffing smoke.
"Uhmm…guys is that what I think that is?" Abigail felt dread settling in her stomach. 'If this thing was sitting here, it was no doubt either her Uncle Hugo's doing or her mothers, and if it was her mothers and she got banned from today's game for being responsible for the chaos that would ensue in, no doubt, the next few seconds their plan would literally go to the gutters.'
"Oh yea…looks like we are going to experience the first prototype test of the globe bomb…awesome!" Regis exclaimed.
"No…not awesome. Who do you think is carrying out the test for Great Uncle George, you idiot!"
"Whoa…relax sis…don't worry, we won't let anything happen to mom before we are able to get to her."
"And how do you plan to do that Reginald?"
"That's not even my name!...Anyways, I have it on good authority that this is not mom's but our Uncle James' doing"
"Yeah, that's not possible"
"Uh yeah it is…look behind you…"
'Oh yeah there he was, hugging mom, more like crushing her…I hate those hugs...but I miss them right now'
"Hey, why hasn't the bomb exploded yet…it's supposed to burst in like 2 seconds of it puffing smoke right?"
"Yea but you are forgetting the prototype part. In 2023, the bomb was just a prototype, George perfected it the next year."
That's when there was long whistle that emitted a long, shimmery gold line that exploded into golden firelights right at the ceiling. The next minute the prototype was lying dead on the floor, wheezing, whirring and emitting smoke.
"Looks like the first prototype was a dud."
"Yea well you got to start somewhere right. Hey, what do you think we go say hi to Uncle James? We could use a good laugh right now." Regis suggested.
"Terrance is already there. Let's go."
"…and then there was supposed to be like this big explosion of colors..everyone in the vicinity of the bomb would be temporarily stuck with the colors until the end of the day! And..."
"That sounds great!...So what colors would it have emitted if it would have worked?", Abigail asked coming up behind her favourite uncle but all she got in return was a questioning look.
"Oh..James this is Abigail and Regis, she and her brothers are new additions to Hogwarts, you have already met Terrence of course."
"Hi", the three chorused.
James just continued to stare at them as if trying to figure something out. They looked familiar to him somehow.
"Uhhmm…so what colors?" this time it was Lily who asked the question, more to break the awkward silence that had suddenly befallen the group under James' scrutiny of the Parkers, than anything else.
"Uhh…yea..gold and red..Gryffindor colors all the way! Why do you think I brought it here to be tested?!.." James replied finally coming out of his reverie and slipping his easy smirk back on his face.
"That explains it's vicinity to the Slytherin table….It would have been something if the slytherin players would have walked out on the field in red and gold colors huh!.." Lily mused.
"Yea it would have been," James chuckled.
"And Lily Potter catches the snitch and GRYFFINDOR WIIIINNNNSSSS!" Claire Williams announced happily.
A cheer broke out through the red and gold stands. Abigail and Terrence joining while Regis looked on glumly, sad that his house had lost.
"Can we go now? We Have to put our plan into action, just saying..."
"Aw, Don't be such a sore loser now Reggy!" Abigail teased while Terrence celebrated.
"Fine, fine let's go," Abigail replied after seeing the glare that her brother threw her. She maybe the short tempered and dangerous one but you never crossed Regis when he lost a game, he became just downright scary to even look at if teased.
"What?!...Nooooooooooooooo, come on just a few more minutes, it's fun!"
"Stop being a child Terrence we have work to do!" Abigail scolded.
"Fine!" Terrence huffed.
The three siblings descended the stairs down to the ground. Regis, with careful precision pointed his wand and aimed the spell at his mother. The instant the spell hit her, the snitch went hurtling towards Scorpius Malfoy hitting him on the back of his head, who was standing on the side of the ground with his team, berating them for the unethical tactics they used during the game.
Lily still clueless about the missing snitch didn't see the small ball hurtle back towards her, hitting her square on the forehead with a light thud.
On one hand, Scorpius Malfoy seething from his teams defeat would not handle any mockery dished out towards him from the youngest Potter, and on the other, Lily Potter had just about had it. She thundered towards the Malfoy heir demanding to know how he managed to get the ball away from her and hit her in the head with it without it flying away.
"SCORPIUS FREAKING MALFOY, HOW DARE YOU THROW MY SNITCH IN MY FACE?!"
Turning to face the red faced midget, Scorpius replied in his most seething tone, "I wasn't the one who started IT!"
"Ugghh, you…you insolent little…how DARE you accuse me of such childish behavior?!"
"I dare to accuse you of such behavior because you DID act like a child!"
"Ughh," with that Lily had pounced on the 6 foot 3 Slytherin team captain throwing tripping, tickling and other variety of hexes with Scorpius replying back with the same concoction along with a few choice words being exchanged between the two.
"And I thought YOU two were childish when fighting," Abigail exclaimed.
A/N: So here it is, THE 5th chapter after 3 years! Anyone interested in Beta'ing for me?!
