Bet gone wrong

Suprise

The bed creaked as the young boy rolled out of the covers. Stumbling towards the bathroom he knocked on the door. No reply was heard, so he stumbled towards the toilet. The flush echoed in the room, as he moved towards the sink. Washing his hands, and splashing water on his face the boy moved to look at the mirror before him.

“James!” A loud scream escaped his lips. His wide green eyes stared at his reflection. His brown messy hair, now matted and tangled in a blond heap.

“Albus, what’s wrong?” The voice of his father called through the door. Soft knocking from his father asking permission to come in echoed in Albus’ head.

“The door is unlocked come in.” Albus croaked, his voice slowly recovering from the scream. The door screamed as he pushed it open.

“Oh, uh…” his father stuttered trying to hide his laugh. “Take a shower maybe it’ll wash out.” his father joked. Albus looked at his dad before pushing him outside the bathroom.

“Get me clothes, I am taking a shower.” Albus growled. His father walked towards his eldest son.

“James, you shouldn't have done that, but… it is funny so I’ll give you that.” His father chuckles.

“Rose was in on it too.” James chuckled. “Smaller part of the bigger plan.” his father sighed before asking for details. The family sat around the table eating waiting for the youngest Potter son to come down from his shower. After a long time of waiting Ginny stood to get her son.

“Albus, dear. Is everything alright?” The soft voice of his mother asked on the other side of the door. There was a long pause, her son not answering. “Albus?”

“Yes, there is a problem. I have been given Rose’s clothes. I can't walk to my room naked.” Albus growled, his voice muffled by the door. Ginny left grabbing the two in fault for the distress on her youngest son. The two smiled innocently towards the adult.

“Help your brother out of this mess, and apologize.” Ginny growled at her niece and son. The two nodded towards her orders as she left them alone.

On the other side of the bathroom door. Albus sat with a towel around his waist staring at the maid dress hanging across from him. Standing Albus started to search the drawers in the bathroom. Once he found his beanie, Albus slowly pulled the evergreen beanie onto his blond combed hair. His green eyes stared at his blond hair, in his reflection. Curly, messy, and damp his blond hair looked unfamiliar, especially under his beanie. The door creaked open as James entered the bathroom.

“Hey Al, still wearing a towel. Really?” James joked. “Rose he is wearing a towel come in.”

“Rose!? Of course she is part of this. What is your plan?” Albus growled. James chuckled as Rose entered.

“Can't throw on the dress, but you can wear a beanie and a towel. How funny.” Rose mocked. Albus growled sitting down on the toilet lid.

“Albus, let's make a bet. If you don't wear the dress you have to do as I say for the whole day. If you wear the dress for the whole day, I will do as you say all of tomorrow.” James vowed. Albus thought for a couple of minutes. “Come on you can't think about this all day.” James joked. Standing Albus moved towards the dress.

“May I proceed to get dress in privacy.” Albus mumbled. The two left Albus alone to change.

“Hey Scorpius, how do you feel about going to the Potter's? They are having a dinner party.” Draco asked his son.
