Ford Anglia & The Weasley's
At that time, with three children, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley just wanted a little rest, so the idea of a day trip to London appealed to them.
They wanted to go alone, as if they were newlyweds. So they decided that eight young people (of age) would be more than enough to take care of Bill, Charlie and Percy, aged eight, six and one, respectively, without any trouble.
They all agreed, and with Mrs. Weasley placing all her trust in the boys, she and Arthur set off via powder puffs to London.
The only problem was that the boys, were none too happy with their parents' decision to leave them, in their eyes, with egocentric strangers. The eldest snubbed James as soon as he wanted to talk to him, Charlie, who was more reserved, examined the boys with fear, and Percy was just a baby, repeating the same words over and over again.
It was temptation that ruined everything.
Sirius saw the Ford Anglia parked outside the house, the keys hanging up and the day sunny. He, a person who had always had a passion for vehicles, seeing the car unused seemed like a waste, so ignoring Lupin he went to take a closer look at the car.
“We should go investigate” he proposed to the group “We've been here three days, and we still don't know what's beyond this road.”
“Yes, let's go!” James exclaimed, climbing into the passenger seat, “Padfoot drives.”
“No, no!” replied Lily and Lupin, “We have to stay and look after the children, we can't go that way.”
“Come on Lily don't be boring! The children can come with us, can't they?”
At that, Bill grabbed Charlie's wrist, and they ran to the car: “Yes! I'm going in Daddy's car.”
Lupin gave a puzzled look to Lily, who was still discussing the situation, but there was no turning back as Mary and Marlene joined the ride. Peter went to pick up Percy and sat next to his girlfriend who loved to cuddle the babies.
“Come on, gorgeous, I promise nothing will happen” said James, and she shrugged, sitting down with the girls “It's just you, Moony, we have space up ahead.”
He sighed, went to get his bag, just in case, and made a space for himself next to the door. Sirius turned on the music, lowered all the windows and looked at the handlebars and the gearbox.
“Well, as I saw in that movie, I have to press the accelerator.”
He did, the car shook, but didn't move.
“Do you even know how to drive?!” Lupin asked. Sirius grimaced nervously and shook his head. “Agh, I'll drive then.”
“Can you drive?!” shouted the whole group, including the children.
“My mom taught me when I turned sixteen” Lupin explained, switching places with Sirius, “Let me see. The handlebars, gears… It's just like a Muggle car; the difference is that it has the buttons to make it invisible and fly.”
He turned on the key and the car started, they backed onto the road and began the journey to the unknown destination. They stopped at a gas station an hour later to stretch their legs and fill up with gas.
He showed Sirius how to fill the gas tank, while trusting Lily to keep the kids well cared for.
She didn't, but not because she was incompetent, but because they were Weasley.
“I want Bill's lollipop!” Charlie shouted, infuriated “I like strawberries!”
“You fool! It's your fault you got the lemon one!”
“I'm not a fool!”
“Yes, you are!”
The children began to fight intensely and Lily, in spite of her attempts to pacify the argument, could not. James, on his side was laughing, until everything got out of control.
They were children who couldn't control their magic. So, Charlie, irritated that the lollipop he got wasn't his favorite, sent the car behind him rocketing skyward. Everyone was speechless, including Charlie himself, until the car crashed to the ground.
The Muggle man, who saw the whole inexplicable scene dropped his snacks and began to rant words that Percy began to repeat, because he thought they were funny. Sirius paid for the gasoline, and they trotted into the car, determined to escape the trouble as soon as possible.
In the car on the way home, things didn't get any better, as Charlie wouldn't stop crying, it was hot as hell, and Bill was angry at his brother for “ruining” the outing, which made Charlie's crying increase.
They all sighed in relief as they parked the Ford in the driveway, got the kids out and decided that the best option was to spend the rest of the day at the beach. Thinking that would fix everything.
If only Percy didn't know how to talk.
“And how did you children have a good time?” Molly asked with a smile, ten years younger and leaning against Arthur. They had just come in from their outing “I hope you've been good!”
“Fium!” shouted Percy, receiving stares from everyone “Boom! BOOM! MY WAGE!” The boy started laughing, leaving Molly and Arthur very confused! “Shit! Ha! Charlie is a fool!”
“Where did you learn that word, Percy?!”
And without a second thought, he pointed at Lupin, James, Sirius, and Peter, who smiled uncomfortably.
“Sorry.”
