Little Harry poked his small head out from his cupboard under the stairs. He could hear Aunt Petunia putting the clean dishes away, and he didn't want to be forced to help her. Last time, he had dropped a teacup without meaning too, and he was grounded and had to spend two days in the cupboard except for scheduled bathroom breaks and meals. He didn't want to do that again anytime soon. He quickly hopped out of his room and into the living room where Uncle Vernon sat reading the paper while the television discussed the weather forecast.

"Um...Uncle Vernon?" Harry asked softly, taking small baby steps up to him. Uncle Vernon made a mumbly grunt sound to show he was listening. Harry took the book he had been hiding behind his back and held it out to his Uncle

"Would you please read me a bedtime story?" Harry asked softly, eyes gleaming.

"Well that went better than planned," Sirius remarked has he walked out of the green fireplace following James, Remus, Peter, and Mad-Eye Moody into the Order Headquarters. They had just returned from an escape evacuation at the Mc'lour's Manor, who had been known targets of Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

"Yes, I think they'll be safe for awhile," Moody commented, relaxing near the cabinet with a glass of freshly opened brandy. "Don't put your wand in your pocket you num-skull!" He suddenly shouted at James who had been in the process of putting his wand away so he could get drinks for himself and Sirius. James jumped startled by Moody's outburst and looked at Sirius quickly whose face mirrored his own with raised eyebrows and bulging, curious eyes. Sirius pulled his feet down from the table and sat up on the edge of his chair.

"Why not?" he asked, genuienly curious. By this time Peter and Remus had strolled into the room from the kitchen and were obviously curious about the comment themselves having heard Moody from the other room.

"Place your wand in an unsafe place like a back pocket is a mistake only the severely stupid do or those just wishing to bring harm to themselves," Moody replied seriously. The marauders exchanged a look around the room and then all their eyes went to Mad-Eye.

"How so?" Remus asked for all of them.

"You'll end up with half your buttocks removed or some other unfortunate and uncomfortable curse."

Sirius and James exchanged knowing looks, each biting the inside of their bottom lip before they couldn't contain themselves anymore and burst out into laughter. Remus coughed into his hands and Peter looked around the room cluelessly. Moody jumped up from where he sat defensively, knowing they were laughing at him.

"What? What's so funny?!" He shouted at them. Remus leaned down to his left behind Mad-Eye.

"We're sorry Moody," James began between breaths and laughing spasms.

"It's just, how could you possiably know that unless you're speaking from experience," Sirius finished unable to meet Mad-Eye eyes.

"Well at least he seems to have healed up nicely, but it does explain the square shape to him." Remus replied with a smirk.

Hehe. I'm just having so much fun. I thought I'd add my two cents here.

These stories are WONDERFUL! Truly, there is the phrase "We crack ourselves up." There is nothing more true than that when Umi and I sit down and brainstorm.

Just to reassure you, Umi, I don't usually hit people over the head. My brothers are an exception, but no immediate plans for making you one.

Reader, just think for a moment as you read the stories... What if they actually did happen? And then review.
