Four Years To Six Years [Jason!!]

[Thomas Newman]

At four years old, Thomas Newman was being a very stubborn little boy for his mother. And was refusing to go to bed. Everytime he was placed into his bed, the youngster would just climb back out and would run back downstairs. And his mother would just sigh and in the end, she had scolded him. The four yer old had cried, but she had allowed him to stay downstairs.

Lucille Newman had just about had enough of her youngest son, and had sat down in a chair and watched as the dark haired boy continued to play with his favorite toy car. He wanted Jason home. Jason and his father had gone to visit Sarah and Gerard Bryant and their son Leo. Tom had wanted to go and visit his aunt,uncle and cousin also. But his father had said no, and Jason hadn't even said bye to him. Suddenly the fireplace glowed green and Tom's face lit up in a grin. The boy was happy. ''Jaaay!!, Dad!''he exclaimed loudly bouncing up. The car forgotten.

With a green face, Jason stepped off the fireplace into the living room. The six year old felt sick and his head was still spinning. Jason seriosly needed to get used to using Floo Power. When he was a bigger boy he would be doing it without holding his fathers hand.

When Jason saw his little brother the travel sickness quickly disappeared. Tom didn't get to stay up as late as Jason, and was usually in his bed by now. He ran over to Tom and gave him a big hug. “Leo says hi, and he's coming to see us next week!”, he grinned. In Jason's arms was a bag, which Leo's mother had given to Jason for him and Tom to share. Giving Tom sugar was crazy, but Jason didn't know any different and it was better playing cops and robbers with a hyper Tom. “Want some sweeties?” he asked handing the bag to Tommy.

Tom giggled like a typical kid his age would do when Jason hugged him. ''Jay missed kitty!''rambled Tom. Yeah, Kitty was the stray cat that came into the garden at night, looking for food. Tom had just called it Kitty.

''Mommy mad''wailed Tom when he heard their mother beginning to shout at the two's father. The kitchen door slammed, and the two would probably carry on argue until they both calmed down. ''Auntie Sarah and Uncle Gerard too?''asked Tom a grin lighting up his troubled face. He then let out a gasp at the mention of sweets. ''Mommy says i'm not allowed to eat sweets before i go bed''spoke Tom his face troubled again. He carried on hugging his brother and hid his face in Jason's jacket.

“Noo! Not Kitty!” Jason frowned, feeling rather upset. “Mommy said she was gonna let me feed him tonight” he said moodily. The young Jason felt even more upset when he heard his parents arguing in the kitchen. He didn't want them to split up and Tom and him to end up as orphans living on the streets. “I think so” he replied, trying not to think about the arguing.

“But she'll never know if we only have a few!” grinned the usually well behaved Jason, putting his hand in the bag and pulling out a gummi snake. “Take one Tom, they are so yummi” Jason encouraged.

[Thomas Newman]

''Kitty..''mumbled Tom, stifling a yawn as he did so. ''Kitty bit Mommy, it funny''. The little boy was rather devilish sometimes, and Lucille would often feel afraid of what her youngest son would do.

The young boy felt his eyes start to flutter closed. But he opened them again, ''Mommy be mad if she founds out''sighed Tom, hesitantly reaching his hand into the bag. ''Daddy be mad''said Tom his eyes welling up with tears. When Mr.Newman got mad at his two sons, the entire house would shake almost. ''Don't want Daddy mad, he scary when mad''.

[Jason Newman]

Jason frowned. Unlike Tom he didn't have the devil within him and was a little more considerate. “Mommy must have given her the wrong flavor again. Kitty doesn't like beef!” The young boy remembered the last time his mother had put out beef flavour, and the cat had started to hiss.

“Ok maybe we'll eat them tomorrow.” Jason agreed, feeling upset that he couldn't have a sweetie. Their mother wasn't scary when she was angry, but their father was. He usually hit them and sent the boys to bed early if they were bad, and it scared Jason.

“Want to play cops and robbers?” suggested Jason. He needed something to drown out his parents arguing, and Tom usually yelled pretty loud when he was playing.

[Thomas Newman]

Tom giggled again, ''Kitty like tuna!''he exclaimed. The tuna coming out more or less as, 'Too-na'. ''Mommy should of given Kitty tuna''. The black haired boy yawned again, but his hazel eyes carried on glittering as they caught the fireplace flames.

''After breakfast?''asked Tom eagerly, almost bouncing on the spot. A slam echoed through out the house, their father had just walked out. ''Daddy gone to pub''mumbled Tom, his eyes and expression sad again. The entire family knew where their father went to cool down. He'd sometimes come back drunk, sometimes not.

The four year old's expression once more lit up, ''Yeah!''he grinned bouncing on the spot. ''When do i go school Jay?''asked Tom with another big grin. He was on about Hogwarts of course, all Wizarding families knew about the school, especially the pure-bloods like the Newmans, Bryants and the Hardings families. Tom's eyes began to droop again, the young boy was rather tired. And he had used up most of his energy climbing in and out of bed and ignoring his mother.

[Jason Newman]

“So does Tommy!” laughed Jason. He had seen his brother eating from the can of tuna this morning when everyone else had been eating their breakfast. He wasn't supposed to sneak food without permission, but Jason didn't like getting Tom in trouble.

Jason nodded. He was sort of like a parent to Tom, and often helped him learn new things. Jason frowned again. He didn't like it when his Dad went to the pub, because he usually came back drunk. Despite the fact his father was usually jolly like that, it scared him.

“When you are a big boy Tom!” explained Jason. There was no point telling him it was when he was twelve, because Tom couldn't count yet. “So are we playing cops and robbers or what?” asked Jason. “I'm the police man!” he said, as he began to imitate the sound of a police car siren.

[Thomas Newman]

Tom shrugged, ''It nice!''he whined, a scowl appearing on his face. Tom was known to go into temper tantrums easy, Lucille had taken him to the doctors to see about it. But the doctor had just noted that it was normal for children his age, and to be more careful around him.

'' 'Kay''yawned Tom, his eyes starting to droop a bit more. ''Me tired Jay''muttered Tom yawning again. He held up his arms to be picked up. When Tom's mind said to sleep, the young boy would follow his mind, and fall asleep. Often, the family would be concerned because if he was over tired, he'd just black out and sleep that way.

[Jason Newman]

Jason immediately stopped the loud irritating 'ne-naw' sound that he had been making. He heard a loud high-pitched screaming sound coming from upstairs. Oh no! Their younger one year old brother Jake Newman had been awoken by the noise Jason had been making. He was going to be in for it when his parents found out. Maybe his pearents would blame Tom, like they always did, but Jason could never let his brother take the rap.
"Ooops i woke up Jakey...." said Jason to his brother who was quicking falling asleep.
