Bath Time

James Potter was in danger of choking. He was on the floor laughing very hard as yells came from the kitchen. He had actually had the luck to peek in before attempting to go in. What he saw however made him fall to the ground laughing up a storm. Sirius walked in and spotted James. Confused, he looked into the kitchen and was soon imitating his best friend on the ground.

Inside the kitchen, Lily and Remus were fighting a battle against bubbles, stuffed animals and water. Both were soaked and sliding around the kitchen floor. Well Lily was directly, Remus was trapped in a bubble that finally popped and sent him sliding under the kitchen table. Stuffed animals assaulted the two as they tried valiantly to either dodge or get to the cheerful baby in the high chair that was covered head to toe in baby food. He was swishing around a wand that obviously wasn't his, not that he cared, and kept jumbling up baby talk which started to sound like spells.


This whole mess started when Remus and Lily tried to feed Harry who was much more interested in playing with his food than actually eating it.

"That is it young man." Lily said calmly after dodging some green mush Harry tossed. "Either you stop and eat or no bears for you."

"We're going to have to give him a bath too." Mooney thought out loud.

Now if there were two things Harry hated, he hated not having his favorite toys since his crib was big and scary without them, he also hated baths. Baths just weren't fun when his mummy was not smiling. Then he noticed a stick. He had seen his parents wave it around saying weird things and whatever they wanted, happened…Well for his mama anyways. Mama Pads sometimes made funny lights and noises happen which made his mummy turn red. It made him giggle.

Picking up the stick, he tried swinging it back and forth hoping that his mummy and Mooney wanted to take a bath too. Bubbles were fun. He started speaking just as Lily had turned to look back at Harry. Both were too late to stop the baby and now they were in for it.

"James! Sirius! Help!" Lily cried before being attacked by a flying lion which was soggy.

"Do we go in?" Sirius asked James. James shook his head and kept laughing.

Meanwhile Remus had gotten lucky. Using the dining room table as a shelter, he waited for a bit and then sprung up and grabbed the wand from the toddler's outstretched hand.

Immediately, the toys fell into the puddles and all the bubbles popped. Remus and Lily sighed in relief. After cleaning the kitchen, they both turned to look at Harry who was giggling away, still covered in food. The both sighed. You could clean a kitchen in an instant, but getting Harry to take a bath was next to impossible.

"How did he get a hold of a wand?" Lily wondered out loud before picking up the baby. "I left mine on the counter so Harry couldn't get it."

"Mine was there too." Remus said and picked up the stray wand. "I wonder who's…" the words Sirius Black were engraved on the handle of the dark wood. Remus rolled his eyes.

"SIRIUS!" Lily yelled out. Snickering from behind the doorway told them who was there. "James Potter! Sirius Black! You have been here the whole time and didn't help. YOU get to give Harry a bath!" Lily said putting Harry in James' lap before storming off. Remus followed snickering at their misfortune.

James grinned at his friend while Sirius looked like he was doomed. "Something wrong Pads?" he asked.

"I have heard what Remus has said, Harry hates baths. What are we going to do?!" Sirius replied.

"Simple, follow me." James replied.


Next Bath time with Remus

Harry was crying and absolutely putting up a fuss. Remus tried everything, nothing worked to get the tyke to calm down. Harry kept bawling. Sirius walked by and picked Harry up. Instantly the baby quieted. Remus sighed in relief.

"Can you wash him? I will do the dishes for you if you do!" Remus said thinking he was getting the better end of the deal.

Sirius agreed, looking oddly smug.

After washing the dishes, Remus went upstairs to go check on Sirius. When he opened the bathroom door, he saw bubbles galore and a soaking wet Sirius and Harry lauging up a storm. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but…

"SIRIUS!" Lily yelled as she looked inside. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Sirius looked sheepish. "Bubbles…" he said not mentioning he poured in the entire bottle when you only needed one drop to make an instant bubble bath.

James walked by and stopped dead in his tracks. He had filled Sirius in about Harry's like of bubbles that Lily and Remus normally forgot, which made Harry cry, so he could bathe the toddler easier. This however was ridiculous.

"Sirius, how much did you add?" James asked staring at the mounds of bubbles that had been shaped into odd things.

"All of it…" Sirius trialed off, wiping the bubbles out of his hair. As they fell to the ground, Harry giggled from the bathtub and patted them, making them pop.

Lily glared at Sirius and then forced him to clean all of the mess. However every time he banished some of the mess, some came back. Finally they managed to banish it all at once, but it took a lot out of all of them.

"Sirius is never allowed to bathe Harry again!" James said exhausted.

"Hey!" came the indignant response from the black haired man.

"Agreed." The other two put in.

"We have two kids." Lily said flopping onto the couch with James as the other two took the chairs. Harry was finally asleep. "Harry and Sirius."

Suddenly bubbles appeared around them and flooded the living room. Lily turned to Sirius.

"Where did you banish the bubbles to?" she asked glaring at the man who hid behind the chair.

"I never was good at that spell." Sirius said laughing nervously.

"Hey Pads?" Remus put in since James was laughing again.

"Yes?" the marauder squeaked in fear of the furious red head.

"You're in for it now." Remus replied and broke down laughing.
