This chapter was actually the first one I wrote in this story. It just sort of came to me one night. I think it's super cute, but that might just be me ... read away. Oh and if you were wondering about the title of this chapter, Binky/Pacifire, or whatever you want to call it.
"GIVE ME BACK MY BINKY NOWW!" yelled a very angry 3 and a half year old.
"NO Fire! You don't need it anymore. Don't be such a baby!" Trevor yelled back sternly.
"Come on Fire," Tyler tried to reassure his baby sister. "You need to grow up faster so you can go to Hogwarts the same time as us!"
"Pweese Tyweh, Tervah, we can start tomorrow. I NEED my binky.." she replied in a small voice as her brilliant blue eyes started to water. She really was trying in her lessons, that her twin brothers were teaching her, but this was her binky we're talking about. She didn't want to be left behind.
"LOOK AT THE BABY CRY!!" yelled Trevor, and the twins started to laugh.
Her little, chubby, baby hands fisted up with rage and she sat down and hugged her stuffed unicorn Stella. She was used to this. The twins always did this, and even though she was young, and they would be doing this for the rest of her life, she was already tired of it. She glared at them as they danced their victory dance.
The twins on the other hand were glad that she hadn't cried like she always did. She would cry for 'daddy' and he would always come to her rescue. If she did that, then they always ended up in trouble. They wondered why she just sat down, but they didn't think much of it and continued their victory dance. They had won!
She continued to glare. How come when Teddy did it, it worked right then? She just wanted it to turn pink. Just like Stella's feet. … finally. She started to giggle.
Tyler, who was always the more patient of the two when it came to their baby sister, came over to see why she was giggling. "What's up Fire?"
"Youw haiw!!!!!! It matches Stewa!" she managed before she burst into laughter. Tyler turned around to ask his brother what she was going on about, when he saw it. His brother's hair was PINK! That meant his hair was probably PIN K too! PINK is a GIRL COLOR!!!! "AAAAAHHHHHHHHH" yelled the twins as they ran around the family room trying to make it go away.
Fred Weasley came running into the room, and evaluated what he saw. His trouble making sons were running around the room … with pink hair? The exact shade of pink that matched the hooves on the unicorn he got Sapphire for her birthday almost one year ago. Sapphire had tear stains on her face, but was now laughing. Hmmm it looks like someone did their first magic … "MIONE COME QUICK!"
She hurried into the room, and saw exactly what her husband had seen. "Oh my baby girl! Using her magic … just like her mum, don't you think Fred!?" she said as she walked towards her daughter and picked her up.
"More like me," I mumbled with a smile. ((It's Fred's pov now))
Johnny came into the room to see what the noise was … "HAHAHAHAHA YOU TWO LOOK LIKE GIRLS!!"
"WAAAAAHHHHHHH DAD!!!!!! FIX IT!" the 6 year olds whined to their father. "I DON'T WANT TO BE A GIRL!!!!!"
"Now you two … look at me and stop your crying!" I waited for them to look up. "How did you hair turn pink?"
They looked at each other confused, and then Tyler said. "I swear dad we really didn't do it this time … honest!"
"Yea!" agreed his twin. "We wouldna made it this yucky pink, maybe a cool blue, but not pink." Trevor said with a look of disgust on his face.
I laughed "Well boys, I think you learned a valuable lesson. Don't take something that doesn't belong to you!" he told his sons sternly as he pointed at the pacifier in Trevor's hand.
"… well … you see dad …" Trevor started before he looked at his twin, and passed him the binky.
"MINE!" yelled Sapphire from her mother's arms, with a mad look back on her face.
"I know Sapphie, we're really very sorry" said Tyler as he walked towards her and handed her the binky. She smiled at him in thanks and put in in her mouth happily.
"Now you two need to stop tormenting your sister," I begin.
"Really dad, can't you see they only took it so she 'would stop being such a baby, and grow up.' They think that if she acts older she can go to Hogwarts the same year as them. They don't want her to be sad when they leave for Hogwarts and she doesn't. Like how everyone was sad when Toire and Teddy left yesterday for school. They also heard mum talking yesterday, about how Fire was getting a little old for her binky." Explained his 8 year old son Johnny. He always was the practical one.
Kids could be very troublesome, but I have learned that they usually had some exotic reasoning behind everything they did. Mione thought it was cute, but I found it some what irritating, especially when I had somewhere to go. Of course it wasn't Mione's wand that was covered in peanut butter so it didn't get a 'cold.' Or it wasn't Mione who couldn't find any of her shoes for a whole week, because they were in the twin's room at their 'shoe shining store' that they had just opened. It wasn't polish either. It had been blowing bubbles that had made them shiny, so they weren't just shiny, they were sticky too. My kids actually were really entertaining though, and plus I love them.
It was time for a talk … "Now you two, I think we need to sit down and have a talk." I said as I pointed at the couch. They scrambled over and sat down. Trevor pushed Tyler off the end, so he could sit closer to me, so Tyler just sat on the floor. They both then put innocent looks on their faces. So much like George and I when we were younger … and still are.
"Fred can you hold Sapphire?" Asked Mione as she brought her over, so I could take her. "Johnny and I are going to go finish dinner." Sapphire looked very content, sucking on her pacifier and hugging her unicorn she brought with her everywhere. She snuggled close to me on my shoulder and closed her eyes. Daddy's little princess …
"Hmmmm where do I begin? … I know you two love your little sister very much, but I'm afraid no matter what you do she can never be in the same year as you in Hogwarts." I stopped, waiting for their protests I knew would come.
"But dad! Don't you want us to watch out for her?" asked Trevor
"Someone could be more mean to her then we are!" said Tyler
"Son, I want you to watch out for your baby sister, especially when it comes to boys, but I also want you two to be nice to her. You don't need to worry about leaving her behind, because she has cousins in her grade. She'll go to school with Joey, Jake, … and Preston. They can watch out for her during classes, and you two can show her around because you'll have been there for two years. I also don't think you two should worry about this yet. You won't be going to Hogwarts for a while."
"Gee dad your right …How come you always know?" asked Trevor. He always knew when to suck up.
"I have special super powers," I say with a smile.
"Wow!" says Trevor, but Tyler stayed on topic.
"Yeah ... Joey and Jake will help her too, but Preston will be too scared to help her. She'll help him." Joked Tyler and we all started to laugh.
"Too true." I agreed as I changed their hair back to it's normal red, and we all walked towards the kitchen to see if the food was ready. Dinner was bound to be ready soon, and I was starving. "Hungry boys?"
"YEAHHH!" they yelled as they ran the rest of the way into the kitchen and sat at their places. I placed Sapphire in her highchair and put her unicorn and pacifier on the table. She hit her fists on her tray table and looked up with her big blue eyes and said, "Daddy I'm Hungy! And so is Stella! But we don't want no yucky vebetable. So you let mommy we only want candy!"
"I'll make sure to tell her that Princess, but you know mum …" I said playing along as she started to frown.
"You know Fire, if you say 'don't want no' it really means yes, because there's two negatives in one sentence." Said John as he sat down at his place beside her.
"I said yes to vebetables Johnny?" asked a very panicked Sapphire
"… yup." Said Johnny with a smile.
"And mum heard you!" Smirked Trevor.
"oh no! But Stella and I don't like them!" Sapphire said looking sad.
"Maybe we won't have any tonight." Tyler tried to calm her as he hit his twin on the head.
Mione came out levitating the plates of food. It was spaghetti with meat sauce, broccoli, French bread with butter, and milk to drink.
"PASKETi AND TREES!!!" yelled a very excited Sapphire as she clapped her hands, when her mum put the plate on her high chair tray. This was her favorite meal, and I'm convinced it's because she ends up wearing practically her entire plate. I can't get over how cute she is. I never remember the boys being this cute … they just caused trouble.
"Should we tell her broccoli is a vegetable dad?" asked Tyler in a hushed voice as everyone began to eat.
"No son. I don't think we should. You know how stubborn Fire gets with things once her mind is made up. Remember when she wanted you and Trevor to dress up as baby dolls for this Halloween? She was so angry Halloween wasn't in July she cried for hours. And you two best hope she doesn't remember you promised you'd be dolls once October comes!"
Tyler gulped, and glanced at Sapphire to make sure she didn't hear what we were talking about, "I really hope she doesn't remember. I can't wear a dress! Greg would never let me forget it."
"I'll see what I can do once Halloween arrives, but I'm not making any promises. She has a Weasley temper," I said with a smile. My baby girl was such a little cutie.
Soooooo? What'd you think? Review and I'll update, -Grace
