Author's Note: I am reviving the characters of Alexa and Cecilia, who are Harry and Draco's daughters, for this amusing little story.




"How do you use this thing?" Alexa asked Hermione, calling from her room. Hermione went and showed Alexa how to work it, then left her and Cecilia to enjoy their new toy. A little while later, the girls emerged from their room, huffing about it being stuck.

"If you jiggle it a little, it will open," Hermione explained.

Alexa tried to jiggle it, but nothing happened. "Papa, will you help?" she pleaded, handing the toy over to Draco.

"I can help you, sweetie," Hermione jumped in, reaching for the toy.

Draco pulled it out of her reach and scowled. "I'm quite sure that I'm capable of getting this Muggle contraption to work for my daughter, thank you very much."

Hermione rolled her eyes and chanced a glance in Harry’s direction. He suppressed a grin as if he sensed what was coming. "If he says he can do it, 'Mione, then let him do it."

Draco, clearly seeing Harry's ill-hidden smirk, rewarded him with a patented Malfoy glare. He shook the toy a little, but nothing happened.

"Maybe if you turn --" Hermione suggested, before she was cut off.

"Yes, yes," Draco said impatiently. He grasped the handle, turning it minutely, and "POP!"

Draco flung the offending object across the room as he let out a decidedly girly noise, somewhere between a screech and a scream. "What … the … hell … is … that … thing?!" he bellowed.

"Draco … language," Harry admonished, desperately trying not to burst into laughter.

It wasn't so easy for Hermione. She was apparently incapable of controlling herself, as she toppled off her chair, giggling, clutching her sides. "That, my wizard friend," she said between giggle fits, "is a Muggle jack-in-the-box."

After Cecilia and Alexa went to bed, still chuckling about Draco's reaction that afternoon, Draco turned to Harry, speaking with an eerie, Snape-like tone. "There will be NO MORE Muggle toys allowed in this house. EVER."

Oh, most definitely! H/D is almost all I ever write. They're canon! Don't let that Brit lady tell you any differently. *giggles*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks ... but I don't IM ... no text messaging ... I'd never get anything in RL done if I did! ;)

*giggles forever*Oh poor Draco being harassed by muggle toys. Those muggles are evil, no? <3

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hehehe. Glad you enjoyed that. You know, as soon as I read the "jiggle" prompt, I immediately pictured Draco attacked by a jack-in-the-box. I HATED them as a kid, and I just totally picture Draco becoming all surly afterwards. *grins*

[ladyxmoonlight.livejournal.com]

I love surly Draco, I can just imagine his pouty-sneer! And, Harry being all induldgent about it. I love Hermione in this as well, which is odd for me even though I do love the girl. <3

I think Draco needs teh comfort sex. XD

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Surly!Draco is ♥.

Hermione tried to help, so she felt quite okay about collapsing into a giggle fit afterwards. Hee!

I'm sure Harry will comfort Draco. No worries there.

[ladyxmoonlight.livejournal.com]

He is! ♥

Of course, when someone is being difficult, its perfectly understandable!

Is this a fic journal or do you write personal entries here as well?

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I have the one journal, and this is it (well, I also have a GJ and IJ, but I don't update them ... they're just in case we have a mass exodus).

I rarely put anything personal on my journal, unless I do something really stupid (like almost burn down my house) or really interesting (like attend Prophecy, or travel in Britain).

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, poor Draco! *giggles helplessly*

Eeps, eerie Snape voice? Sounds serious.... :*

That was delightful, thanks for all the laughs. :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you liked it. I have to admit I chuckled as I wrote it, picturing his loss of composure. Hee!

[firefox1490.livejournal.com]

ROTFLMAO, that was so not what I was thinking.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heheheheheh. Note rating: General.

*hugs*

[zentariana.livejournal.com]

Oh.
That made me laugh :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Excellent. Laughter was the desired effect. :o)

Poor Draco, at the mercy of a bunch of women (and his enabling partner)...

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*giggles* - I dunno ... Hermione tried to take it away and help, but Draco insisted ...

*pets him* - I always hated those things as a kid. Them and that stupid "Operation" game. Put me on edge.

[piratesmile331.livejournal.com]

I also hated Operation. And Aggravation. The most aptly named game ever.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Appropriate icon! Never played Aggravation. How about Perfection - the one that popped up if you didn't finish on time ...

[piratesmile331.livejournal.com]

That game also sucked eggs. Aggravation was one of those games where you could be one move from winning and someone could send you back to the beginning. And I think there was a similar game called Frustration. Never could play either one. Too aggravating and frustrating! Games are supposed to be fun!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Like Trouble or Sorry. Yeah, that used to irritate me, but it wasn't quite as nerve-wracking as waiting for the game to pop or buzz or have some freakish looking clown figure jump out! *shudders*

[thrnbrooke.livejournal.com]

Oh that was way tooo funny!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*giggles* - glad you enjoyed it. ;)

[fresica.livejournal.com]

Imagining Draco with a jack in the box is absolutely hilarious. You have made my day~!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I have to admit that I was giggling as I wrote it, and pictured his face!

Glad I could make your day.

[idontgiveafaux.livejournal.com]

BWHAHAHA! brilliant! ::applauds you:: the funny thing is that i suspect most of us knew the gist of what was going to happen when he snatched the muggle toy from hermione and the build up to it was just so funny to read!! :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Yeah, I gave up the notion that it would be a complete surprise, but had fun with it anyway. *grins*

Hope you're feeling better today? *hugs*

[idontgiveafaux.livejournal.com]

yes, i am thank you :D ::hugs::

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*squishes* - glad to hear it.

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

I'm still scared of jack-in-the-box toys!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*nods* I hate them!

[psyko-kittie.livejournal.com]

*g* Wonderful fic.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks.
