"You broke it!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Did so!" Fred threw both pieces of his broken broomstick down to the floor and scowled. His little brother was such a pain! "I told you not to play with my broom."

"Mummy said I could!"

"It was mine."

"Hafta share," Ron said. "Mummy says so."

Fred's nostrils flared in anger. "Then you have to share too." He lunged for the old, worn teddy bear clutched in Ron's arms. "Give it!"

"No!" Ron yelled, and he kicked furiously at Fred's shins, holding Teddy steadfastly to his chest. "It's mine!"

Fred tugged on the bear's arm so hard that the seam began to rip. He smirked, Ron had broken his broom, well, he could rip Ronnie's teddy bear. But then Ron wailed and viciously sank his sharp, little teeth into the back of Fred's hand.

"OW! I'm telling! You bit me and I'm telling Mummy, and she's gonna turn Teddy into a big, hairy monster, and he's gonna eat you all up!"

Ron sat back on the sofa and sneered. "Nuh-uh, Teddy's not a monster."

Fred's face flushed bright red. Mummy wouldn't really turn the bear into a monster, but it was fun to tease Ronnie and make him mad. He kicked at the sofa and clutched his fists tightly. "Teddy's gonna be a big, hairy monster, and he's gonna eat you!"

"Will not!"

"Will too!"

"Will not!"

Fred kicked hard at the sofa again, his face felt hot and he was pretty sure his ears were smoking now. "WILL." *kick* "TOO!*kick* He huffed and stalked off for the kitchen, determined to find his Mum and show her what Ron had done to his broomstick. Behind him, Ron started screaming something about Teddy, and all of his legs and his big teeth.

His little brother was so weird sometimes.

Oh my god, is that when it turned into a spider? Poor Ron! Fred is so mean sometimes. I totally want to run in and save Ron now. :(

I knew it! I knew there was a spider coming into this somehow!

That was all sorts of wonderfulness! I don't know if it had to go that far, but Ron definitely had it coming... sorta... kinda...

Now, was it just Fred's magic getting out of control, or was George hiding someplace, and making the teddy change?

This was brilliant! You know, for some reason that I cannot explain, I never thought of the "Fred turns Ron's teddy into a spider incident" as a possible case of accidental childhood magic.

Fred, being well, Fred, I never even considered that possiblity, and I think it works really well here!

Excellent Job:)

Aw poor Ron. Great fic, you capture the fighting kids really well.

It makes perfect sense though, if it happened when Ron was little then Fred and George wouldn't have been in school yet either, since they're only two years ahead/older, so it would have had to have been before they got their wands.

Found it. Awww, Dove's picture sure fits this. Never thought about not using wands but makes so much sense.
