Hell Hath No Fury Like A Mother Scorned...

Trip To Diagon

"Come on you three, let's get going. We have to hurry if we want to get back in time for me to cook those homemade pizzas you've been bugging me about." Harriette said, rolling her eyes fondly when Harry, Teddy and Nym all rushed towards the front door to get on their shoes, "Honestly I expect this behavior from the children, but you Nymphadora?" She smirked when she heard the pink haired trainee whine, making Teddy laugh at her antics while Harry merely smiled in amusement.

"What have I told you about using my full name!" Dora exclaimed, a cute pout along her face that only made Harriette's grin widen.

"But it's such a beautiful name, I just can't stop myself from saying it." The white haired witch replied back, batting her eyes at the metamorphmagus and drawing a small blush onto the Auror in training's face.

Seeing the look on her daughter's face, Andromeda smirked and couldn't help herself from teasing her, "That's what I've been saying for years but she never listens to me. It's nice to see someone's finally gotten through to her."

The older witch's comment only drew out more giggles from Teddy who had just gotten his shoes on, making Dora turn and narrow her eyes at the boy playfully, "Watch it Teddy-man, I'm not above blackmail. I'm sure your mother would love to know what you were doing yesterday evening in the pantry after everyone had already—"

Teddy's eyes widened and the smile slid right off his face, "Okay! Okay! Keep your voice down!" He examined, making his mother raise an unamused eyebrow at him.

"We're in the same room." She deadpanned, eyes shinning mischievously as she stared at Teddy but as she spoke back up her voice was firm, "If I catch you sneaking snacks young man, you and I are gonna have a chat, understand?"

Teddy deflated, "Yes mom." He said, sending Dora a glare as he walked by her to stand by the wall and wait for the others to get ready, making the pink haired witch grin and wink at him.

"Alls fair Teddy." She shrugged, tying up her trainers before holstering her wand in her back pocket, "This is a house of blackmail, or be blackmailed. It's about time you learn the ropes."

Much to everyone's surprise and delight, Harry spoke up, a small grin on his face as his eyes bounced from person to person, "I suppose it's alright then if I tell everyone about a few weeks ago when you accidentally tripped over the dining room table, causing yourself to land against the wall and knock down all those picture frames." He said, causing Dora to shoot a betrayed look at the boy, meanwhile Teddy was laughing, Harriette was smirking and Andromeda was glaring at her daughter.

"Nymphadora Tonks! I was wondering why those pictures looked out of order. Did you even try to put them back in their original spots?" Andi asked in exasperation.

"It was an accident!" Dora exclaimed, a small blush dusting across her cheeks, "It's not like I meant to knock them down!"

"It still happened though." Harry teased, making Dora huff.

"You were sworn to secrecy Harry, what ever happened to loyalty!? You promised you wouldn't tell anyone!"

Harry merely shrugged his shoulders, "I gotta look out for Teddy. You always team up with Harriette whenever we have these little secret battles. Andi and Ted are always on the same side too so I have to have my partner's back every now and again." He said, actually drawing a small giggle from Harriette, the sound causing everyone to turn and look at the woman in question.

"He's got you there Nym." She said, sending Harry a warm smile that made his face heat up but her words made him puff out his chest in pride, "We've all got our teams. Let the boys have their fun...for now." She grinned, happy that Harry was finally coming out of his shell after almost two months having lived with them.
