And Then I Got Kids! (Part 1)

"Umm, Excuse me, sir," they said. "You might want to come with me."

Phil raised an eyebrow, but followed anyway. They lead him towards the basement. "Did you find the artifacts?" He asked. 

"No, but we found something else."

Phil ducked as he descended the stairs and stopped at his tracks when he saw two brown haired kids sitting on the floor of the basement. "We tried making them go upstairs but they're being stubborn."

 Phil nodded before walking towards the two. He crouched down and offered them a gentle smile. "Hello there," he said.

The one with squared glasses glared at him and pulled on the yellow jumper of the other. The one wearing circular glasses glanced at the other, but faced Phil once again and offered his own smile, "Hi! My name's Wilbur."

"I'm Phil," he introduced himself. "Wilbur, what are you two doing in the basement?"

"We already said we're not leaving!" The other boy said.

"Techno," Wilbur nudged the other slightly, "Mother said not to be rude."

"Yeah, well mother also said not to talk to strangers," Techno said.

"Mother says a lot of things doesn't she," Wilbur said.

Phil watched the exchange between the two with slight amusement. "Do you two know what Aurors are?" He asked.

The two looked at him, "Yeah, Mother says they're bad guys," Wilbur said.

Techno nodded, "Father says they'll make us poor and live off the streets."

Phil furrowed his eyebrows, "Why is that?"

"Because they take away people's jobs," Wilbur continued.

Phil looked at the two with disbelief, "No, that's uhh..." Well isn't this awkward. He thought as he scratched the back of his head, trying to think of a way to explain the situation to a couple of..."How old are you guys?"

"We're six!" Wilbur grinned.

Phil sighed, "Well...what if I told you that your parents lied?" Wow, how straight forward of you Phil. He told himself in his head.

Wilbur glared at the ground with a pout, "...They do that a lot."

"Do what?" Phil asked.

"Lie," Techno said. "They make us do it too."

"Yeah," Wilbur nodded. "Something about not telling people we sell—"

"Wilbur," Techno nudged the brunet. 

"Oh right,"Wilbur stopped.

"What is it?" Phil asked.

The two shook their heads, "They say we're not to tell."

"It's okay to tell us, we're Aurors," Phil tried.

"What are Aurors anyway?" Techno asked. "If what Mother says is not true."

"We uhh capture people who do not follow rules and put them somewhere far away," Phil tried to explain.

"Oh," Wilbur nodded. "Yeah, Mother and Father says people who do not follow rules are punished."

"So why are you guys here?" Techno asked.

Phil sighed, "Your parents have been selling things that are not supposed to be sold, according to the rules."

"You mean the bad jewelry?" Wilbur asked.

"Wilbur," Techno scolded.

"Yes, that," Phil perked up. "Do you know where they keep the bad jewelry?"
