George gave Romilda his best innocent look. "Now Romy why would you think we're up to something?" George had found one of the old headless hats him and Fred used to sell in their joke shop in his closet. He really wasn't the most organized person at home.

Liam seemed to enjoy watching George's head disappear and the expressions the kid was making was causing George to laugh as well.

He handed the hat to Liam and said, "Put this on then go find your Mum." He was sure Romilda would have heard of the headless hats so he wasn't to worried about freaking her out to much.

Romilda turned at the sound of George's voice, and nearly died right there when she spotted Liam walk through the door, and saw his headless body walking towards her.

The hammering in her chest died quickly when she heard the Liam's playful giggling, and remembered that the twins once sold those hats that made you appear headless, and she grinned.

"Oh no, George! It would seem Liam has lost his head!" her tone was playful.

"Have you seen his head, George?" she said loudly as she exaggeratedly waved the knife around. "Surely I didn't accidentally chop it off, hmmm?"

Liam's squeal of delight echoed around the room, as she swooped down on her son. "I can still hear it - it must be around here somewhere." She looked in the cauldron and shook her head. "Nope, not in there."

She shrugged. "I dunno, I guess it's just gone."

George grinned as he walked over to the potions lab. "I just turned away for a second," he told Romilda with a wink. "I have no idea howt he managed to lose his head."

He laughed as Romilda began to pretend looking for Liam's head. "Well I doubt you chopped it off considering I just saw it a few minutes ago. Maybe he hid it in a display case for a customer to find?"

George smiled as Liam giggled while Romy looked for his head, the kid was just to cute, and thought all the pranks that most of the people he knew were the best thing ever definitely made him like the kid even more.

Liam chuckled as his mother seemed to worry about his missing head. It was still there, it was just invisible.

When George said it was probably out the front, he chuckled uncontrollably and bent over double from laughter. George and Fred were always so much fun, and they knew so many pranks!

As he doubled over the hat fell off, and he looked around in surprise, throwing his arms out as if to say he just made it reappear.

"See Mummy! I can do magic!" he chuckled.

George decided to play nice and not comment about the grin on Romilda's face after he mentioned getting Cormac to take her to dinner. He'd never want to date the man, or any man, but to each her own.

George grinned, "Plus you know I would take him for a few hours." Making sure Liam wasn't listening he added, "It would be much easier to corrupt him if you weren't in ear shot."

"Muggles would have thought something was very wrong if they saw a four year old on a broom, even if it was only a few feet high." He paused when she said Miles. He couldn't ever recall her mentioning Liam's father's name before. His mind then jumped to an article in the last issue of the prophet. "Miles Bletchely?" He asked her. "I remember him from Hogwarts, he was on the Slytherin Quiddich team. He was pretty good." George really wasn't sure what else to say.

Romilda smirked at George's offer to take Liam to the movies. He really didn't know what he was in for. Liam would leap about the entire time, and want to go to the toilet about 15 times during the film. She knew from experience. "Sure, you can take him as often as you like," she said, trying not to laugh too much at hopefully getting one back on George.

She nodded at the comment about the Muggles and brooms, but winced when he recognised Miles' name and mentioned he'd played quidditch against him. "Yeah," she said quietly with a nod, not wanting to bring the conversation to a screaming uncomfortable halt. "Miles was good on a broom - about all he was good for," she muttered to herself. "I guess Liam's fascination for flying might be genetic then, hmmmm?"

"Actually," she said, remembering a conversation from a while back. "Fleur said that there were still a heap of old brooms back at your family home. Do you have really little ones? Perhaps getting Liam into the air for real will cure him of this flying obsession?"

shh_george February 26 2007, 01:21:30 UTC

George nodded, "Maybe I will." After all kids couldn't be to bad at movies, right?

George could tell Romy didn't seem to fond of Miles from her tone so decided to drop that part of the conversation. "He's also a little boy, and it seems 95% of little boys have a fascination for flying, and over 50% of girls." Maybe Romilda wouldn't realize he had just made up those numbers.

George thought to himself, "I'm not sure. We all out grew them years ago but I wouldn't have put it past Mum to save them for grand kids. I can ask her about it. She'd have a better idea of where they are and I doubt she'd mind letting you use one. If she doesn't just offer it to you."

George laughed about 'curing' Liam. "Getting him on a broom will just make it worse, trust me. He'll enjoy it though."

shh_romilda February 26 2007, 02:01:53 UTC

Romilda's eyebrow rose at the statistics about the fascination for flying. "I never knew that," she said. But then again, she never knew much about little boys as she had no support raising Liam. At least not until now, with all these helpful 'uncles' around.

"Yeah, that would be nice, if you see your Mum again. I hear she replaced me at the Five Alarm," she said with a smile. "I've never spoken to her, but I have seen her there."

"Very well then, what is the lesser of two evils? Keep Liam off a broom, or put him on one and have his poor mother worry for the rest of her life that he'll do reckless stunts?" It was true. She would probably worry more about him having been on a broom than off.
