It was a quiet morning in the Potter residence, or that is what would be hoped for. The Potter family was known to be chaotic and this morning was no different with the next generation of Potter's being late as per usual.

"James, hurry up"  his father impatiently called for the 5th time in the span of 5 minutes. Harry Potter groaned internally at his family's continuous habit to be late. He ran his hand through his messy hair and glanced at his watch yet again.

"Coming" yelled 14-year-old James as he quickly puts on his jacket and runs down the stairs. While running he planned numerous excuses in his head to not get lectured once again on the importance of being on time. His thoughts were interrupted by his mother, Ginny Weasley, who called out  "James, no running down the stairs" in a no-nonsense tone while simultaneously braiding her 11-year-old daughter's hair in the living room.

"There you go Lily, all done," Ginny told her tying the hair tie in Lily's hair. Lily then stood and smoothed out her dress and went to the bathroom underneath the stairs to check her reflection in the mirror. Once pleased she put on her coat and joined her eldest brother who was now getting his shoes from the cupboard.

"James, can you hand me my black sneakers? They should be right under your grey converse." Lily asked after waiting for James to finally find his shoes and give her the opportunity to do so.

"Bugger off, I'm trying to find my sneakers too Lily. Believe it or not, I do not like to spend my precious time under the shoe cupboard trying to find my shoes while Dad's ready to rip us a new one." James answered making sure to convey how annoyed he felt through his tone.

Lily rolled her eyes and was done with her brother's antics "Move aside" she said as she shoved James. Before James could protest or go back to shove his sister in return, Lily pulled out both her and her brother's shoes and gracefully tosses Jame's shoes nearly hitting him on the head.

"Next time, maybe try using your eyes, you idiot" Lily remarked with a sly grin

"Whatever, we really need to get to the door, I wouldn't be surprised if dad crucio's us at

this point"

Lily nodded and in under a minute both siblings were in the foyer with their dad.

13-year-old Albus was already at the door with his father trying and failing to hide his smug expression as Harry threw an exasperated look at his youngest and eldest children.

"You know what, it's not even worth it at this point. Let's go Albus" Harry simply said as he went to go grab his keys

"You know Al, last time I checked, the middle child is supposed to be the one that is ignored," James whispered to his brother

"Guess miracles do exist" came as an answer.

Just then Ginny entered the foyer to bid her children farewell.

"Now listen to me, if you misbehave in any way you will answer to me" was stated with a fierce look in Ginny's eyes

Cheeky remarks were forgotten as the children all nervously looked at each other while chorusing "yes mum" knowing that Ginny Weasley was a person to not only obey but fear.
