AN- Hey guys, I hope you like this story. I know the idea has been used before, but I really wanted to do a story with this, so read and review
The snow of December fell down, as the inhabitants of the home in Godric's Hallow watched from the windows, sipping hot chocolate, as they talked among each other.
"So Hogwarts really has 142 stair cases," Lilly Potter asked her older brother Albus.
"Yah, and they can move too!" he told her.
Lilly looked at her cousin Hugo, they both had looks of shock on their faces.
"I thought James was kidding," Lilly said.
"What about the ghosts?" Hugo asked his older sister, Rose. "Does one of them really teach a class?"
Rose nodded. "His name is Professor Binns, and he teaches History of Magic."
"Yah, and he's probably the most boring teacher in history," James said.
Rose shot him a dirty look. "If you would just pay attention instead of play around in the back of the classroom, maybe what he's saying wouldn't seem so dull."
"No one can pay attention in that class," James said.
"I can, so can Albus," she retorted.
James stared at his younger brother. "You mean you actually listen in that class," he asked, a smile starting to form over his mouth.
"Umm, well, sort of…" Albus mumbled.
Before James could make any sort of comment, Ron, Harry, Ginny and Hermione walked into the room, and James knew better then to taunt Albus in front of his parents.
"Well, we're off to Luna's," Hermione said. "We should be back by 11."
The adults were going to a Christmas party and even though the kids had been invited to go, their parents thought it would be best if they stayed behind since they would probably get rambunctious there.
"Am I in charge?" James asked his father eagerly.
"After what happened last time? No, none of you are going to be in charge." Harry said.
"One minor explosion and your labeled for life," James said under his breath.
"If you need anything, Floo for us at Luna's," Ginny said.
And with a final good-bye, the four adults disappeared into thin air.
"Well, shall we start with the trouble making then?" James asked getting up.
Lilly and Hugo laughed, but Rose gave him a stern look. Albus did nothing.
James reached into his pocket and pulled out 5 spherical shaped objects.
"Uncle George gave me these yesterday when we got home," James explained. "He said that he'd been working on them for ages, and I was the first person to get them!"
"What do they do?" Hugo asked anxiously.
James shrugged. "Dunno, but it must be good, 'cause he told me not to try them around mum and dad."
"I think you should toss them out," Rose said. "Uncle George has a reputation of getting us into trouble."
"Aww, come on Rosie, he's just trying to have fun with us," Lilly said. "Try them out James!"
"Alright, I'm just supposed to chuck them…"
James threw one of the balls into the middle of the room. The results were immediate. There was a loud hissing noise, and everything surrounding them turned bright blue.
"That's pretty cool!" Albus said. He had expected much worse from the balls, and he had been right to do so, because at that moment, all the furniture in the room began spinning at top speed.
"You see what you've done!" Rosie yelled at James. "This is all your fault!"
James looked slightly panicked as the things began moving even faster, but just as quickly as it had started, the balls magic stopped, and the furniture returned to the ground, though not to their rightful places.
"Well this is just great," Rose said. "Now we have to move everything back to where it goes!"
"Jezze, calm down Rose," James said. "There's 5 of us, we'll have it fixed in no time."
Rose said nothing, but gave him a reproachful look.
"I'll pick up the books," Lilly offered, placing the discarded books back on the bookshelf.
"Come on Albus, let's move the couch back." James said.
Hugo and Rose began hanging back up pictures, mumbling apologies to the portraits.
Within 10 minutes, no one could tell what the room had once looked like.
"See Rose, I told you we would work this out you worry to much," James said, grinning at her.
She rolled her eyes, "Yah yah, you were right," she said, but the noticed something in the far corner on the room. "Hey what's that?"
They went over to it, and found the shattered remains of a vase.
"Uh-oh," Lilly said.
"Don't worry, we'll just call Teddy over to fix it," James said.
"That's not going to work James," Albus said, examining the pieces. "This was that goblin made vase dad got mom for her birthday last year.
"So?"
"So, Goblin made things can't be repaired!" Rose cried. "They put all sorts of jinxes and charms on them!"
"I'm sure there's a way to fix it," James said, although not looking so sure of this. "Come on, let's look through dad's stuff."
The five headed upstairs, to Harry and Ginny's room.
It wasn't kept neat, yet you defiantly couldn't say it was messy either. The bed was made, though several of the pillows were askew, and the desk had stacks of parchment that were stacked in no exact order.
"Let's hurry up and find something to fix the vase," Albus whispered.
They went over to the closet and opened it, finding boxes of odd-looking instruments. Harry worked at the Ministry as and Aurror, so he had many dark wizard catchers and stuff the reverse dark magic, though he didn't often use them, he was required to have them.
"There has to be something in here," James mumbled as he tossed aside sneakascopes and a thin gold pole.
"What's this?" asked Hugo, holding up a large square object, with a lever on the side of it.
"No clue," James said, getting up to have a better look at it. "How about you Rosie?"
Rose shook her head.
"Well, only one way to find out what it is," James said.
"You're not going to try it are you?" Lilly asked her brother.
"Of course I am, dad wouldn't keep anything really dangerous in the house, besides, if we don't try it out, how will we know if this can fix the vase or not."
Everyone huddled around the device, as James pulled the lever.
A weird glow radiated from the box, and the sides of it seemed to be breaking apart from each other.
At first, James though another one of George's balls had gone off, but none of the furniture was moving.
Just then, the light burst form the box, shining brightly throughout the whole room. It was hard to see anything, but James felt his feet leave the ground, as well as Lilly's who was standing right next to him.
He felt as though he was thrust forward, like he was traveling by portkey, and then, he felt his feet reach the ground again, and the glowing light vanished.
"What in the hell was that?" Albus demanded, getting his glasses off the floor, and placing them back on his face.
"Where are we?" Hugo asked, looking around.
No one else up until that point seemed to realize that they were no longer in Harry and Ginny's bedroom.
"Oh my goodness," Rose breathed. "We're at Hogwarts!"
