Chapter 3.

The Food fight

7-year-old Lyra Malfoy was very displeased. The reason for her ire was the plate of cooked vegetables waiting for her to eat them. Her brothers had the same expression on their faces.

"Don't you want to grow big and strong?" Asked Scorpius.

"Yeah, but not like this," Lyra grumbled, glaring at the vegetables.

"Broccoli, I hate broccoli!" said Lepus petulantly.

"Vegetables are disgusting, they are green and eww!"

Scorpius sighed. Today was going to be a very long day.

Rose wanted to go for a girls night out with her friends and he couldn't, in good conscience begrudge her that. Their kids were a handful and she was looking after them and tending to their needs for a long time. He could see when it began to stress her out. So, he suggested the girls night out, poor Rose took it with both hands.

And so, he was left to handle the triplets of terror.

"Dad, why did you make vegetables, you know we hate them." Complained Lepus.

"If you want ice-cream, then eat your veg." Bribed Scorpius.

"Dad, we have a much better use for these disgusting things than eating." Said Leo, a shit eating grin on his face.

His grin widened, and he scooped up a handful of veg, and lobbed them at his blonde sister's face.

"Is that a challenge?" Questioned Lyra, grinning back at her brother. Scorpius knew that this was about to end badly.

"Yes, dear sister," replied Leo.

Nooooo! Screamed Scorpius in his head.

"What about the ice-cream?" Asked Scorpius weakly.

"Oh, throwing food is more fun than eating ice-cream." Said Lyra, her grin the same as her brothers'

She flung some veg at her father's face.

"Operation attack Lepus!" Shouted Leo.

"Operation cover Leo and his partner in crime in veg!" Lepus shouted back.

He grabbed a handful of vegetables and lobbed them at his siblings.

"This has to end now," said Scorpius sternly.

Lyra threw a stinky brussel sprout at her father in retaliation.

The food fight continued, as if Scorpius never said anything.

"How about we gang up on dad for cooking these hideous green things?" Lyra grinned.

Her words were met with cheers from her brothers and a groan from her father.

"Vegy bomb!" Lepus shouted, a ball made of vegetables in his hand.

"Lob it at dad!" Encouraged his siblings.

The bomb met Scorpius's face with a splat that had all of them laughing.

"This is not funny!" Yelled Scorpius, but his words were interrupted by a vegetable bomb going into his mouth.

"Let's make this more fun!" exclaimed Lepus.

And he raided the fridge.

Scorpius wanted to cry. He had hoped with all his heart that one of his little devils wouldn't think of raiding the fridge for more missiles. Rose was going to be angry, very, very angry.

How had they gotten to this?

"Ice-cream, this is going to be very messy!" Yelled Leo.

And he pulled out the tub of expensive ice-cream that their father bribed them with.

Freezing cold balls of chocolatey goodness were being thrown around like nobodies business.

"Ao! This is soo cold, I'm going to get you for this, I promise!" And Lyra ran after her strawberry blonde brother like an avenging goddess.

She got to the fridge and pulled out a cake that was covered in icing.

"Take this Leo!"

A piece of the cake was thrown at poor Leo. He had no chance of escaping the utter messiness, not that Lyra's fantastic aim helped him.

Now the food fight wasn't only veg, it had more messy food items.

Exasperated, Scorpius grabbed some Brussel sprouts and flung them at his 7-year-old kids.

"Food fight move, ultra-powered missile!" Lyra grabbed a ball of ice-cream, a ball of icing covered cake, and some disgusting vegetables, and tossed it at her father.

Scorpius felt like crying the more he was in the three terrors' presence. Malfoys were clean, proper people, not like his little hooligan's. It must be the Weasley blood in them, he was more than sure of that.

"Food fight move, super cake rocket!"

Lepus made a rocket out of cake and threw it at Scorpius.

Splat. The rocket landed and the kids laughed.

Scorpius would prefer his wife's ire over this… this… improper behavior! His sensible spitfire would set them strait.

"Look what I found, look what I found! A rotten egg, a rotten egg I found a rotten egg!" Leo let out a mad cackle and Scorpius's instincts told him to run.

There was a horrible braking noise and raw rotten egg was raining down on Scorpius Malfoy.

The kids exploded with laughter.

"Eggs make good missiles." Stated Lepus.

"Yeah, let's use them!" Agreed Leo.

The kids tossed more food missiles at each other and their father.

For the final time, Scorpius attempted to stop the nightmare but failed.

"Food fight move, ultimate food projectile!" The biggest food missile in all the fight was formed by Lyra and was tossed at Scorpius.

The front door opened and a redheaded woman entered.

Rose Minerva Weasley stared at the scene with something like horror and rage on her face.

Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy cowered in fear. He was supposed to stop this nightmare.

"Scorpius Malfoy! I leave you with the kids and this is what I find when I come back? The kids were supposed to be in bed, not making a mess of my kitchen! Tell me you weren't part of this! Tell me that! I trusted you with the kids and this is what I see?" Rose turned as red as her hair in rage. She lost the ability to speak

"Tell me you tried to stop them! I wish I didn't leave! This was supposed to be a stress free day for me, not a day of cleaning up messes!"

"Clean. This. Now!"

The kids froze in terror. They began to clean their colossal mess.

"I'm never leaving you with your father again! And you Scorpius, you are sleeping on the lumpy couch today! Oh and no sex for you!"

The blonde looked at his redheaded wife pleadingly, but she showed no mercy.

Scorpius and the kids continued to diligently clean the mess in the kitchen. The mess was was so bad that the triplets of terror almost wished they hadn't started the food fight.
