Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling. I'm just playing in her world.
A/N: Inspired by the episode in Charmed when it's Wyatt's birthday and, thanks to Phoebe, he brings three of his toys to life. That episode is really sweet xD 'Payback's a Witch', I believe it's called.

"Hit the floor!" James yelled, and Lily, Albus and Rose fell to the floor, along with James himself. "Quick, crawl, crawl, crawl. Don't stay in one place for too long or they'll get you!"
Nearby, the distinct six-year-old cackling of Hugo could be heard, and Rose gasped dramatically. "Oh no, a Death Eater is close!"
"Faster, faster!"
"Albus," Rose whispered. "On the count of three, take my hand. We'll run in the other direction."
Albus nodded, fighting a smile. Nine-year-old James glared at eight-year-old Rose.
"We have to stick together!"
"Tough! One … two … three. Go!"
Albus and Rose, sure enough, got up and ran in the opposite direction, leaving Lily and James alone. Dominique cackled brightly and Lily watched her blonde-haired cousin skip happily after Albus and Rose. James, eyes shining brightly, took control again.
"Quick, crawl round the sides, stay in the grass. Keep quiet. We can save the others."
"You mean save yourself, right? The door's round that side!" Lily said, smirking.
"You know me too well, Lils."
"Oh no!" Rose cried.
They looked up to see Albus sprawled on the floor, Dominique pointing a twig at him and grinning madly. Rose was shaking Albus, barely containing her laughter as Albus' body shook with giggles.
Lily knew her father didn't approve, but playing War was fun.
