3. The Toy

The Toy

A/N For 1991 challenge

Prompts: Seamus Finnegan (Gryffindor), mine

If I remember correctly Seamus was muggleborn.

"Mine! Mine!" The toddler clutched the toy to his chest protectively, glaring at his mother.

"Ah, alright Seamus. I only wanted to wash it…"

A few days later Seamus sat on his aunt's lap at a family picnic.

"Can I see this?" his aunt asked, reaching out for the toy.

"Mine! Mine!" Seamus gave her one of his cute death-glares.

"Oh. Alright." His aunt laughed and dropped her hand. Seamus toddled off somewhere.

It was getting dark, and the mothers were packing up the picnic things. A few feet away Seamus and his cousin, Gwendolyn were playing.

Gwendolyn tried to take the toy away from Seamus. Seamus slapped her and yelled out, "Mine! Mine!" G

Gwendolyn burst out crying.

"Seamus! Say sorry! You have to share." His uncle reprimanded him, and gently tried to unclench the toy from Seamus' hand.

"Mine! Mine!" Seamus screeched.

"That's enough, Seamus! Time-out now." His mother plopped Seamus in the carriage and kept on an eye on him while continuing to pack up.

"It's funny how possessive he is of that wizard's toy hat," his aunt remarked.

"Yes, it is," agreed his mother.
