Forgotten Adventures: What J. K. Rowling Didn't Know
by Sabrina Snape
“I’ve called Lily, Rasha, and Ice over to babysit! Is that OK guys?” called Saphira (who will henceforth be called Tonks) down the stairs at her 15 children. “Your father and I are going to watch Rusalka at the cheerleading competition!”
“Mom! Can I go over to Rani’s house?” yelled Nessie, a 14 year old, from the living room.
“What?! I can’t hear you!” Tonks screamed back.
“Motheeeerrrr! Kristy and Carl are play-fighting!” shouted Ophelia, aged 13. Several simultaneous exploding sounds erupted from the bedroom closest to Tonks. The sign on the door read, “Caution, Experiment at Work.”
“Jean! What did you just do!” cried Tonks. No answer. “JEAN D’ARC NYMPHADORA LUPIN! What did you just do?”
“It was totally awesome dude. Mixing arsenic with unicorn tail hairs must create a clash of the neutrons and combust, creating this explosion!” came a voice from the room.
Just then Rusalka ran up the stairs. “Mom what did Jean do to our room?!! Did she like ruin it with one of her crazy experiments again?!” Tonks opened the door and screamed. One whole wall was blackened. A blue-gold dragon walked out of the room and shook black ash off herself.
“Sorry mom, I can probably fix it. Well maybe not, but don’t be too mad. Ok? Please don’t punish me too horribly. Please mom,” said the dragon that then morphed into an 11 year old girl with short chestnut brown hair.
“Jean you are not going to get away with this,” said Tonks angrily, “I am going to take away all the chemicals in there!”
“Phew! I pretty sure I can live with that!” said Jean in relief.
“And everything sci-fi is disappearing from where you can get it and that includes the DVDs and the TV!” continued Tonks.
“CRAP! I really shouldn’t have said that!” cried out Jean.
“Oh and why don’t you babysit Kristy and Carl for the next month,” said Tonks. Jean made a disgusted face,
Rusalka peeked around the doorframe. She shrieked and fainted.
“I guess Rusalka won’t be going to the cheerleading competition,” said Tonks, running her hands through her hair, which randomly turned bright red. Diiing-dong. Startled, Tonks rushed to the door but Remus got there first.
“It’s the babysitters, darling,” said Remus smiling a very white- toothed smile, “Oh, and you still have a dragon’s snout, you might want to change that.” Tonks blushed crimson to match her hair and her nose returned to normal.
“Thanks Moony, dear. We won’t be going to the cheerleading competition after all. Rusalka fainted. But I see no reason to tell the babysitters to go away. With fifteen kids you want all the extra help you can get!” said Tonks.
“ Oh. If we’re not going to the cheerleading competition I’ll just go to work at Hogwarts. Dumbledore says he’s glad he re-hired me. Severus was just too harsh on the children., so he’s back at his potions job,” said Remus and kissed Tonks lightly on the cheek. Tonks smiled and opened the front door to usher in the babysitters. The first thing Lily did was grab Tonks by the shoulders and began shaking her violently.
“OH MY GOD!! YOU HAVE TO LET ME LIVE WITH YOU SAPHIRA!!! I THINK HARRY’S ON MY TRAIL! CAN I LIVE WITH YOU PLEASE???!!!! I CAN’T LET HIM FIND ME!! PRETTY PLEASE WITH 18,000,000,000,000,000 CHERRIES AND 10,000 TONS OF CHOCOLATE SYRUP ON TOP?!!” screamed Lily.
“Shhhh…it’s alright…it’s gonna be okay now…shhhh,” said Tonks sympathetically while patting Lily on the back. Lily hiccuped and sniffed loudly.
“Well can I stay with you? At least temporarily?” asked Lily between hiccups.
“Of course you can,” said Tonks.
“Bien sur,” said Ice for no apparent reason other than may be that it means of course in francais (French).
“ Really?” snuffled Lily.
“Did someone say snuffles?” said Sirius from where ever he was in the space-time continuum.
“NO! Someone wrote snuffles. And besides it said snuffled not snuffles!” yelled the AUTHOR angrily.
“Awwwww…!” said Sirius.
“Get out of this Sirius! You don’t come into this story until “Flashback Time”!” said the AUTHOR. “Sorry about that folks. Sirius can be so conceited some times….” The Jeopardy theme randomly began to play. Everyone in the scene stared at the ceiling in annoyance until it stopped.
“Anyway…yes, really. You can stay in the attic Lily. I’ll clean out all of Jean’s cyanide! However, you better check to see if you’re water’s poisoned before you drink it. Jean has some um, bad habits…,” said Tonks whose hair turned bubblegum pink.
“Thanks,” said Lily, “ I’ll go up to the attic and start moving in!” Tonks nodded. Ophelia walked into the room. A small brown wolf hung onto her pant leg with sharp, pointy teeth. The wolf quickly detached herself from Ophelia’s pant leg and turned into a little girl, around 3, with a blue flower on her shirt.
“Mommy I accidentally bit off the head of one of Marusia’s dolls. She’s mad at me. Can you fix it?” asked the little girl.
“ Oh, Kristy. Of course I can. Get Marusia to bring it here,” said Tonks in a soothing, motherly voice.
“ MARUSIA!” yelled Kristy. A golden cat (Marusia is a cat because she was adopted from Russia) walked into the room holding a pitiful looking rag doll and its disembodied head in her mouth. Dropping the doll she changed into a four year old girl with hair the color of corn-silk.
“See Mommy? See what Kristy did?! She should be punished…” said Marusia but Tonks cut her off.
“ Marusia, my dear. I’m sure it was only an accident,” Tonks picked up the doll and said, “Repairo!” the doll instantly mended itself.
“Thank you, Mommy!” chorused Marusia and Kristy in unison and ran off.
“That’s so sweet!” sighed Rasha and Ice also in unison. Tonks glared.
“Wait what time is it!?” said Rasha suddenly.
“Uhhh…two-thirty,” said Ice, glancing at her red watch.
“Oh damnit! I have to be Hogwarts! Snivellus shall pay!!!” shouted Rasha and she ran out the door, slamming it behind her.
“ Oh speaking of being late, we’re supposed to be at Voldy’s! C’mon!” said Ice.
“ But the children…,” started Tonks.
“Oh they’ll be fine,” said Ice, dragging Tonks out the door. But as Tonks was being pulled to Ice’s broom, she swore she heard Jean’s evil mad scientist laugh.
