Chapter 57
Percy entered the Burrow's front door and heard screaming coming from the living room. He rushed forward and had to grip the door frame to keep from skidding into the wall. He took three steps into the room and immediately had to duck his head to avoid being hit with a Quaffle.
"I said there would be no Quidditch in the house! Knock it off! Give me those balls now!" shouted Bill as he swiped at a child with black messy hair that jumped off the sofa, ran under Bill's arms and towards the entrance to the room. What the child hadn't counted on was a new addition to the room. James was too busy watching behind him to see if Bill would chase him when he ran headlong into Percy's abdomen, bounced off and fell onto his bum.
"You took your bleeding time Percy, while I've been here chasing after a couple of damn hooligans," Bill said angrily.
"You shouldn't say bad words mister. They're bad," said the red headed child from the arm chair. Bill grunted and closed his eyes in annoyance.
"Thank you Arthur. I apologize. Percy, why don't you take James and watch him in time-out? Sirius and I will clean up the mess they made in here. Da—Arthur, you can…just sit there for now, okay?" Bill said as he grabbed James' arm and stood him up.
"Er, okay, I guess," said Percy as he led James into the kitchen. "Sit down Mr. Potter," he said.
"I'm too excited to sit down. Can't I go outside and play? Bill won't let Sirius and I play inside, so we should just go outside. Please? Have you ever had chocolate chip biscuits? I think they're my favourite. I don't like those Oatmeal Raisin ones, they're icky. And they have sour bits in them and I don't like the sour bits. Did you know I'm four years old? That's the same age as Sirius and Arthur. Arthur's kind of weird. He keeps telling Bill not to say bad words, but I don't think Bill likes us very much cuz all he does is yell and take away our fun. Are there anymore biscuits? That nice man, Ron, gave us a whole plate full before he left. Do you play Quidditch? I think I want to play Chaser when I grow up. I'll play for the Arrows and win all the games," rambled James as he bounced up and down.
"Uh huh," Percy said in awe of the child's ability to jump from topic to topic.
"Can I have some pumpkin juice?" James asked suddenly. Percy stared for a moment waiting for the change in subject, but James just stared at him waiting patiently. Percy nodded and got a glass from the cupboard and filled it half way with juice before setting it on the table in front of James. He turned and started to tidy the kitchen counters.
"You two made an immense mess in the living room from what I saw. Bill had the right to punish you both. You could take a leaf out of Arthur's book and try being good, calm boys instead of raving lunatics wreaking havoc where ever you go. I'll add that I've never heard Bill yell like that at anyone under the age of eight. Not even when our brothers Fred and George inverted the colours of his bedroom when they were five. He was furious because he'd just finished decorating his room with a more adult décor and the twins changed the muted grey-blue to a vivid pink and purple theme." Percy finished cleaning and turned around to find an empty kitchen. "Where—" he started to ask before he heard a loud crash outside the house.
"What the—Sirius! Where'd you go?" he heard Bill shout from the living room.
"He went outside a little while ago," said an accusing voice from the arm chair.
"Why the hell didn't you say anything?" asked Bill as he ran into the kitchen. "Where's James?" he asked Percy.
"Um, mister? I think you should come out here. Sirius is hurt I think," said James from the doorway. Percy and Bill shared a quick glance before darting towards the door.
Outside they ran around the house and found Sirius lying on the ground next to a broken broom. Bill cursed again before crouching down and saying, "Enervate!"
Sirius slowly came to before he started moaning in pain. By this point James and Arthur showed up behind Percy. James was watching with his mouth closed and his eyes wide while Arthur was watching Bill.
"Sirius, I need to know where it hurts, okay. Where does it hurt?" Bill asked in a soothing tone.
"It hurts," whimpered Sirius as he lifted his finger. "Right there," he finished pointing to his bum before bursting into giggles. "Will you…kiss it?" he shrieked with laughter. James exploded into giggles as well, while Arthur rolled his eyes but had a small smile as well.
"That's it…You two are in time out even if I have to stick your backsides to the chair with a charm. Come on. Percy, keep Da-Arthur entertained. I'll take care of these two," Bill said as he picked Sirius up and carried him under his arm, while grabbing James' hand and pulling him into the house with him.
Bill indeed followed through with his threat and stuck the two boys to the kitchen chairs with Sticking Charms while he went back into the living room to fix the broken lamps, picture frames, and furniture, put all the books back onto the shelves, and finally mop up the spilled Pumpkin juice and tea that coated the entire floor. How the two boys were able to make such a mess in the time it took to Floo Percy and then for Percy to actually arrive, Bill didn't know, but what he did know was his siblings and their friends were going down in a pit of shame for this stunt.
Meanwhile outside, Percy and Arthur were taking a walk around the yard. Percy wasn't talking much but he was learning his father had a talkative side. Arthur rambled on and on about random things. Percy slowly learned that the child couldn't remember anything from after breakfast. Only that he'd met a nice man and woman earlier and they said that a spell had gone wrong and he had temporarily lost his memories. They were nice people too. The man had given the three boys biscuits and juice. But the other two boys were bad and ate all the biscuits when they were told not to.
Percy sighed. Listening to his four year old father was tiring. He steered them back to the house and as they entered the kitchen Arthur started giggling. Percy stared at his father for a moment before the red haired child pointed at two chairs that held, not two children, but a pair of trousers each.
"Uh, Bill?" Percy called out.
"Yeah?" asked Bill as he entered the kitchen. Percy merely pointed at the chairs. Bill looked and saw his charges missing once again and gaped.
"How the bloody…er, how the heck did they do that? And where are they?" he asked Percy loudly.
"How am I supposed to know that? You were supposed to be watching them while I had Da…er, Arthur," Percy exclaimed. Bill moaned.
"This is so not how I expected to spend my Saturday…" he muttered. They heard a loud thud coming from upstairs. Once again Bill and Percy shared a look before Bill took off up the stairs. Percy motioned for Arthur to follow him and they trudged up to the third floor where they found Bill standing at the entrance to Percy's old room. This caused Percy to quicken his steps and when he arrived at the doorway he saw something he never expected.
Furniture was piled helter-skelter around the room with sheets and blankets draped over them.
"Cool," muttered Arthur as he pushed past Percy and ran into the room. "Can I play?" he asked the other boys. Bill and Percy shared yet another look.
"How did they get all this stuff in here?" Bill whispered.
"I have no idea," Percy said back quietly. They both checked their pockets and found both wands secure.
"You don't think…could one of the kids be here under Harry's invisibility cloak?" Bill asked even quieter. "They could be helping James and Sirius make more mischief than usual." Percy gave him a look and waved his wand whispering the human revealing spell.
"Nope, it's just us five here. How could two little kids carry that entire sofa in here? Not to mention carry it down a flight of stairs from mum and dad's room? And that camp bed is from Ron's room!" Percy pointed as he spoke emphatically. "Someone had to have helped them…" he finished.
Bill entered the room where the three boys were playing. "James, Sirius, can I have a word with you two. Then you can go back to playing, okay?" he asked calmly.
"We're not going to be in trouble again are we?" asked a voice from somewhere in the jungle of furniture and drapes.
"Nope, you finished your time outs, I just have a quick question to ask and then you can continue playing in your fort. Please come out here for just a moment," he finished. James crawled out from behind the camp bed while Sirius jumped down off an armoire.
"How did you two get all this furniture in here?" he asked calmly.
"It was already in here," James said with a shrug. Sirius nodded along with his friend. Percy summoned their trousers and handed them each their own. They slowly pulled on their trousers and stood there.
"Can we go play some more?" asked Sirius.
"Er, yeah, but you can't leave this room, all right? Percy and I are going to go down stairs for a few minutes, so you boys have to be good okay?" asked Bill. The boys nodded briefly before returning to the fort.
Bill and Percy wandered back down stairs to the kitchen and sat down.
"We need to break the spell. I can't think of what it could be though. Do you have any ideas?" asked Bill.
Percy shook his head. "We could Floo McGonagall and have her ask Madam Pomfrey," he suggested.
"That's a good idea. You go upstairs and I'll Floo her," said Bill as he stood up.
"Why do I have to go watch those little blighters? I can Floo the school and you go watch them," Percy said with a frown.
"I'm not about to sit here and argue with you Percy, just do it," said Bill as he pulled down the canister of powder. Percy rolled his eyes and turned toward the stairs muttering, "It was my idea."
~~Grimmauld Place~~
Meanwhile in London, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and George were rolling on the ground laughing until tears came down their cheeks.
"Oh my, this was brilliant! Hermione, George, you two are amazing!" Ron said. George stood and bowed to the group pompously, prompting more giggles from the girls.
"You three don't even know the best part! George, tell them," said Ginny excitedly.
"Well," George said before pulling an object out of his pocket and taking a deep breath. "A sister item to the Extendable Ears, the Eye-Spy Balls record in a 360° rotation for as long as you require. Just tap the Ball and say the incantation to start Spying. When you're finished, retrieve the Ball and say the counter spell to end the recording. Later, watch at your convenience with the required viewing spell and watch as often as you like. Eye-Spy Balls are reusable up to 5 recordings; each recording is viewable with different code words. Only two Galleons apiece and soon to be found exclusively at your local Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes."
They all smiled at George with identical evil grins.
"So, what you're saying is we have video proof of this prank?" Harry grinned widely. "We could, say, show the mums and all our friends, and the professors at school and everyone else in the world if we wanted to? Prove to them that the Marauder's are going down to a bunch of kids?" Harry finished with a maniacal laugh. The others, caught up in Harry's glee, joined in on his laughter.
~~The Burrow~~
"What do you mean she said she was too busy to help?" Percy whispered furiously.
"That's what she said. I asked her if she knew of a way to turn grown men into children and if there were how long would it last, and she replied," Bill switched to a shrill woman's voice, "'Bill Weasley I am not getting into this ridiculous prank war of yours and if you think that you can use me to prank your younger siblings, then you have another thing coming. I am a busy woman and the school year is beginning in less than a month, and of course Albus and Severus left absolutely no notes on how to run the school so I'm left with this completely unreliable painting that enjoys long naps at the most inconvenient times to instruct me. Not to mention the repairs that should have been finished a last week aren't done and the—'"
"I get the point, thank you. But did you ask her if Madam Pomfrey is available? Or even Madam Pince? She'd at least know the right books to find," Percy trailed off looking desperate.
"You don't understand me, Percy. I couldn't get a word in edgewise once McGonagall got into her stride. She's worse than mum in that respect. Besides, she thinks I'm going to use this prank on Ron, Ginny, George, Harry and Hermione and as much as she might deny it, those five are probably at the top of her favourite list and she isn't about to help someone she thinks is going to prank them. We're on our own until mum and Lily get back from shopping. I tried Shell Cottage to see if Fleur was home, but of course those buggers got to her too," Bill trailed off while reaching up to tug on his hair.
For a moment the two sat in silence, the occasional thump coming from two floors above.
"Well, we could always tie them up and body-bind them…" Percy said with a weak chuckle. Bill started to laugh.
"If it comes to it, I'm letting you do the dirty work. Can you imagine if dad woke up from this and remembered us body-binding him? One, he'd never let us live it down, and two, he'd castrate us so we can't procreate ever," Bill said darkly.
Percy laughed. "Come on, dad knows we'd be good parents. Hell, we practically raised Ginny and Ron while mum ran after the twins all the time," he chuckled.
Suddenly there was a loud bang and a house shaking rumble from upstairs. Bill and Percy were both on their feet and running for the stairs instantly. Inside Percy's old room, now dubbed "the Fortress" by the two adults, they found items flying around an enormous pile of furniture. Somehow, a large arm chair had begun floating around the room knocking the furniture off the fort and the end result was several items flying around the room at high speeds while the pile of furniture was battered and knocked down. The elaborate castle of furniture had been reduced to a pile of wood in a matter of moments.
"Shite!" Bill cried as a chest of drawers nearly took off his head. "James! Sirius! Arthur! What happened? Where are you?" Bill cried as he ducked under his Uncle Gideon's trunk. "Percy, stop the flying things. I'm going to find the boys!"
Percy had no idea what to do. Shouting Finite would work well enough, but he didn't want anything to land on someone, particularly someone small. So he summoned each piece.
"Accio Table! Accio Trunk!" he shouted and then "Finite Incantatem!" when the objects got near him. Soon enough the flying objects were no longer air borne and Bill could only be seen with his legs sticking straight into the air while the top half of his body was wiggling under the pile to find the three boys.
Five minutes later the three boys were extracted from the pile of what was most likely every piece of furniture in the whole Burrow. All three of them were dusty and shaken but grinning and laughing like hyenas; short wands in each of their hands. Bill and Percy were breathing heavily and staring dumbfounded at the mountain of furnishings all piled into the one small room.
"That was so wicked," whispered Arthur to James. Sirius nodded gleefully. Bill turned and glared at his four year old father.
"We are in so much trouble," whispered James.
"Oh, trouble doesn't even begin to cover it. Hand over the wands, now," Bill said quietly. All three of them pulled a small wand out of their pockets and placed them carefully in Bill's outstretched hand. "Where did you get them?" he asked.
"They were in our pockets," Sirius said timidly.
"In your pockets?" Percy asked in disbelief. The two adults sighed.
"Downstairs, now. Percy do you mind cleaning this up?" Bill asked as he led the boys out of the disaster area.
"Excuse me? No way am I cleaning all this up on my own," Percy yelped as he followed his brother.
"Percy," Bill started in exasperation.
"No, I'm done letting everyone walk all over me. You've been treating me horribly all day," Percy whined.
"How is that? All I've asked of you was to help," Bill said angrily.
"How about making me sit with the kids while you made the easy Floo call? Which by the way was my idea, yet you swiped in on the call and made me go sit with the hooligans. And now, trying to make me clean all that mess up by myself? I am not some little kid that you can push around anymore, William. The least you can do is treat me like an equal instead of making me do the dirty work," Percy shouted.
Bill stared at his younger brother speechlessly. "I'm sorry Percy, I didn't realize you felt that way, why don't you run off to the Ministry again," he shouted back. Instantly he regretted what he'd said but Percy's face reddened.
"How dare you! I have been trying very hard to make up for that, and every time I try to speak my mind someone throws that back in my face! I'm sick of this! I never wanted any of that to happen but it did and I'm a different person now. Why am I the only one who's trying to change? It's not just me! I am the way I am because of the way you all treated me all my life! At least I'm trying to change, why can't you try too? Why can no one accept me for who I am and just let me be me?" Percy shouted back. He stopped and breathed heavily.
"Perce, I…I'm sorry. I'm so frustrated with the kids it just slipped out. I didn't mean it, really," Bill said softly. Percy glared at him then looked around.
"Bloody hell," he moaned when he couldn't see any of the kids. Bill muttered a curse.
"Look, let's just put this behind us for now, but when dad and the other two are back to normal we'll have a guy's night just the two of us, and we can talk about all this. Okay?" Bill said as they stood in the landing.
"Yeah I guess. Besides, what kind of brother would I be if I ran off now and left you with three of the worst four year olds in history? I swear these three give Fred and George a run for their money," Percy said with a small smile.
"You can say that again. We need to find them; did you see which way they went?" At Percy's shake of the head Bill continued with a sigh. "I'll check downstairs, you check up. When we're done we'll check outside together, okay?" Percy nodded and turned to the stairs leading to the third floor. He checked all the bedrooms then locked them as he exited. There were no signs of life above the second floor other than himself and the ghoul so he trudged down the stairs to the kitchen. He placed a barrier on the second step leading up that prevented anyone without the counter spell from passing.
"No luck?" asked Bill from the pantry door.
"Nope,"
"Damn, me neither. Outside, then?" The two ambled out the door and Percy placed the barrier spell there as well.
"Good idea…why didn't I think of that?" Bill said lightly.
"Do you even know it?" Percy asked grumpily.
"Probably not, but it's the one mum used right?" Percy nodded. They continued in silence for several minutes.
"We need to think like Fred and George. If you were hiding from us, where would you go?" asked Bill.
"Broom cupboard? Dad's shed, the orchard, my room…" Percy rambled absently.
"Why your room?" asked Bill as they walked toward the shed.
"Well you said think like the twins. Where did they spend most of their time as kids? Trying to break into my room to prank me," he replied.
"Oh…kay. I was thinking more along the lines of Fred and George were great at hide and seek. They knew the best hiding spots … so think like them, not of where they would be, but where they might hide if we were seeking them," Bill explained. He vaguely remembered that Percy was also pretty good at hide and seek. Then again, most of the time it could have just been no one wanting to find him.
Percy rolled his eyes as he opened the door to his dad's shed. They found no children in the shed, and for the next hour they searched gradually getting more and more frantic. They had searched the whole perimeter of the Weasley property and Bill even ran down the road to the town but found no sign of them. Finally they returned to the house and were running to the door to Floo to Harry's house to see if anyone from that group had taken the kids as part of the joke. As they neared the house, still calling for the three boys, Arthur opened the door and tried to leave the house but bounced back off the barrier.
Percy and Bill sighed in relief.
"Arthur! Where are James and Sirius?" Bill said as he dropped to his knees in front of the boy. Arthur, who was looking a bit green, muttered, "Inside. I don't feel so good."
Bill picked Arthur up off the ground and carried him through the kitchen when he heard a small retch and felt his back grow warm and moist.
"I'm sorry," whimpered Arthur.
"Percy," said Bill.
"Yeah?" asked Percy with a grin.
"Did he just?"
"Yep."
Bill mouthed a curse before saying, "It's okay Arthur. Do you feel any better?"
"A little better…but just a little bit," replied the toddler weakly.
"Okay, well if you feel like it's going to happen again, let me know and I'll conjure a bucket okay?" he asked. He felt rather than heard Arthur's acquiescent nod.
"Perce? Could you maybe clean it off me please? Before I follow suit and return the favour to the kid?" he finished with clenched teeth. Percy waved his wand and Vanished the vomit off with a chuckle and the two continued into the kitchen.
"Arthur where exactly are James and Sirius?" asked Percy.
Arthur weakly pointed to the pantry door.
"Are you sure? Bill checked there already," he said as he walked to the door and opened it. Inside were two very sticky four year olds surrounded by sweet wrappers and empty containers. Chunks of biscuits and Every Flavour Beans littered the floor around them and they themselves were laughing and joking trying to throw Beans into the other's mouth and missing by a long shot.
"You two stand up and march your bums out here right now," Percy said causing them to start. They both jumped to their feet and ran to the table. "Sit," said Percy. He then stuck their trousers to the chair and said, "If I have to I will tie you two to the chairs as well so you can't escape. And don't put it past me to put you both in a Body-Bind, you hear me? I will not have any more running off and getting into trouble or making mischief this afternoon, understood?" The boys nodded their heads.
"Now, explain why we couldn't find you three earlier? We ran around shouting your names for an hour. We were getting so worried we almost Floo called the Aurors to come help us find you. Where were you?" he asked.
James and Sirius shared a look before Sirius began to speak.
"We got scared when you guys started yelling so we ran down stairs and hided in the clothes room and when you went outside, we came out. When we heard you yelling for us we tried to come outside but we couldn't get out of the house. After a while Arthur said he was hungry so we found the pantry and found a bunch of boxes of biscuits so we ate those, and then we found Bertie Botts Beans and we were eating those too. But Arthur ate the most cookies, he ate two whole boxes by himself, and then he ate a bogie flavoured bean and got sick and went to look for you guys. Then you came in and found us," Sirius finished with a small smile.
Percy and Bill silently deliberated. After a few seconds, Bill stood and handed Arthur to Percy before heading to the living room. Percy waved his wand and summoned an old children's book from the attic. While Bill cleaned the living room a bit more and made sure it was child proof Percy read Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump to the three children. After the story, Bill watched the kids in the living room, a barrier in place so they couldn't escape, while Percy brewed a stomach settling potion for Arthur.
An hour later, Arthur was sleeping soundly on the sofa while James and Sirius played with a set of Wizarding Blocks that Bill had found in the attic and renewed the charms on so they could be stacked as high as the kids could reach and not topple over unless pushed.
After a while of playing with the boys Bill and Percy, both exhausted, started to nod off.
"NO! IT'S MINE!" screamed James. Bill and Percy jerked awake at the shrill voice.
"No, it's MINE!" shouted Sirius back. The two boys were fighting over the last of a thousand blocks. They had built an entire Quidditch Pitch, complete with viewer stands. They continued to scream and shout and tug on the one sad block. Arthur began to stir next to Percy so he decided to stop the nonsense before his dad woke up from his nap.
"Boys," he said in a tempered tone. They ignored him and continued to yell at each other. Percy waved his wand and placed a silencing charm on both of them. When they realized they could no longer make noise, they looked around. "Now that I have your attention, Arthur is sleeping and if you two wake him up, I will be very angry. Give me the block." Both boys started silently shouting and crying and tried to keep the block for his self but Percy stood and walked over to them. He placed a hand out and waited. Soon enough the boys placed the block in his hand and he said, "Thank you."
"Bill, I don't know the charms for them, but if I duplicate this last block can you place the right charms on the new one?" he asked his brother.
Once the one block was two and the boys, now happy, had placed them on the block-Pitch Percy made an announcement.
"Nap time," he said calmly. "Bill, think we should use Ginny or Ron's room?" he added with a grin. Bill grinned and the boys cried.
"Ron's," he said. Soon enough all three boys were asleep on Ron's recently enlarged bed. The windows had been shaded and the door left ajar with a Monitoring Charm placed around the room. Bill and Percy decided to attack the disaster room with the pile. After two hours of cleaning that room the kids woke up and claimed to be starving.
"How is it possible," asked Percy. "That they can pack any more food inside themselves?" He and Bill had made ham and cheese sandwiches with crisps for all of them and all three boys asked for seconds, though Arthur couldn't finish his.
"I have no idea," Bill said as he finished Arthur's lunch. Just then the door opened wide and three women walked inside. They stopped short and stared at the table of five before bursting into gales of laughter.
"Mum!"
"Fleur!"
"It's not funny!" Bill and Percy shouted at the same time. The guffaws of laughter from the women drowned out their cries. Lily leaned against the wall and slid to the floor clutching her stomach while Molly and Fleur leaned against each other. The three little boys joined the mirth with their own bewildered giggles.
"Oh they got you guys really good," Lily finally sighed. "James, come here." James walked over to her with a confused look and sat in her lap where she had patted.
"Well, aren't you just the most adorable little kid. You look exactly like I assume Harry might have looked when he was…How old are you?" she asked.
"I'm four and a half," he replied proudly.
"Are not, you only just turned four. I'm four and a half," replied Sirius. James stuck out his tongue at Sirius.
"Oh, now none of that," Lily said as she reached out and gave James tongue a tug.
"Hey!" he cried before laughing.
"You're so pretty," said Sirius as he walked up to Fleur, who blushed.
"Sirius, that's my wife you're charming over there," replied Bill with a frown. "You're lucky you're only four years old right now, or I'd pop you one," he muttered. Fleur laughed as she sat next to Bill at the table. She pulled Sirius up into her lap as she replied, "Stop eet Bill, 'e is just zee cutest leetle child ever. Aren't you Sirius?" She gave him a peck on the cheek that made little Sirius giggle and blush.
"They may be cute now, but they were monsters earlier. George, Ron and the others are going to pay for this later," Percy replied finally. "We still have no idea how to change them back and McGonagall won't help either."
"You tried to get Minerva to help?" Molly laughed. "Wouldn't that be considered cheating?"
"Not if you have no idea how long the spell is going to last. For all we know they could be stuck this way forever!" Percy exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" asked Arthur timidly from Molly's lap.
"No need to fret love, we'll get you straightened out in no time, I'm sure. Would you like a biscuit?" she asked. Arthur turned pale, then green for a moment before shaking his head. "But you love my biscuits," she said.
"Yeah, loves a bit too much if you ask me. Ate a bit too many earlier and got sick all down my back, didn't you big guy?" Bill said compassionately. The girls hid their unsympathetic giggles behind their hands.
Just then all three four-year olds grew and returned to their grown sizes. Dawning comprehension crossed their faces as they realized they were all sitting in the laps of the women. James reached over and kissed Lily on her lips before saying, "Lily, I'm sorry but I think I'm going to kill our son." She laughed hysterically as she pushed him off her legs.
At the table Arthur reached over and smacked Bill upside the head.
"OW! What was that for!" Bill cried, holding his head.
"For cussing so much in front of children. You're lucky it's just a smack and I'm not rinsing your mouth out with soap young man," Arthur said sternly. Bill's mouth suddenly erupted in bubbles and he gagged several times before spitting it all out. He turned and saw Fleur holding her wand, Sirius guffawing behind her.
"You do not curse in front of children," she said calmly. Arthur smirked while Bill nodded meekly. His wife was not one to irritate, being that she could literally spit fire if angered enough.
"Yes, dear," Bill said as he tried to fight rolling his eyes.
