Chapter 3: Sirius the Nanny
August, 1981.
"FRED! No GEORGE! No FRED! Whoever you are, PUT THAT DOWN, THAT'S MY WAND!" Sirius yelled as he attempted to change Neville's diapers. Emphasis on the word ATTEMPTED.
Fred was running around the nursery room, with Sirius' wand in his hand, creating little red and gold fireworks.
"You'll be a heck of a Gryffindor…" Sirius muttered, still trying to change Neville's diapers, he made a face at Neville's… present, "How can someone so small create something so…"
"Mr. Sirius, Mr. Sirius…" A 5-year-old Percy tugged Sirius' shirt, "Can you PLEASE tell Fred and George to quit running around, I cannot concentrate on reading my book!" He proudly held up a battered "Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump".
"Urghhh…" Sirius called, "BILL! CHARLIE! CONTROL THE TWINS."
The two red-haired boys who were playing Wizards' Chess looked up. Bill said, "No way, I'm not going near the twins, last time they made me bald! Once I'm at Hogwarts… I'll be away from them!"
"Awww, buck, what will happen to me?" Charlie groaned. Only he didn't say 'buck'. Sirius' eyes widened. So did Bill's, the twins' and Percy's.
"CHARLIE, what did you say? THAT'S a bad word! Wash your mouth! Where did you learn that?" Sirius sounded aghast.
"YOU said it just now, and I quote exactly 'Man, why am I stuck with baby-sitting duty? I should be discussing the latest Death Eater attacks… but nooooo… Because Molly, Lily and Alice didn't want to miss Order meetings every time to look after their kids, we have to draw names! Fuking hell.' And you repeated that word again when you tried to change Neville's diapers!" Charlie said smugly.
The kids sniggered. Fred and George started chanting their newly- learned 'bad' word. Sirius went horror-struck, murmuring, "Shi… SHARK, Molly's going to kill me."
Percy looked at them with disgust, and said pompously, "I would never say such things."
"Good for you, Percy, now sit over there at that corner, and read quietly," Sirius pointed to the squishy chair near the fireplace.
"You didn't say 'please'," Percy folded his arms across his chest.
Sirius twitched, as if wanting to punch Percy, but thought better of it, then forced a smile, "Please, Percy?"
"Okay!" chirped Percy, and ran over to the chair.
"AND YOU THREE!" turning to Fred and George and Charlie, "I NEVER WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT WORD! OR ELSE… I'll tell your MOTHER!"
The three of them immediately stiffened. And quickly returned to their seats.
"Bill. You're going to Hogwarts this year, BE a role model for these kids." Bill nodded.
Just then, the bundle in Sirius arms started wailing, he looked down, "Oh… Neville, I forgot about you… how do you DO THIS THING?" he fumbled with the diaper, making a complete mess, but managed to put on Neville's diaper in a very… unique way.
At the sound of Neville's wailing, Harry and Ron and Ginny woke up from their naps, and started crying as well.
"Oh. Shickity, ickity…"
A/N: That's the end of Chapter Three. Please review!! A rather short chapter. I don't know if this chapter is as funny as I hoped it to be, but I've done my best to create a this scene. Haha. Is Sirius OOC?
Next chapter, the soul transference, and Sirius' reaction!
