Brothers Fight
Their eyes never left the other's face as they stared, their wives moving around them, attempting to calm the flames, but instead fuelling the fire.
"Come on, guys!" Ginny sighed, exasperated. "You're better than this!"
With no luck, Ginny moved away, watching as the frowning, pouting, and staring continued. Next was Hermione's turn.
"You. Are. Adults! You're acting like children!" She shook her head, knowing that there was no stopping them when they were like this, not by her.
Ron narrowed his eyes and Harry scrunched his nose. They both suddenly looked up in shock as Molly Weasley entered, followed by Ginny and Hermione. Ron's eyes widened again as he looked form Molly to Hermione.
"You called my mother!?" He squeaked and Hermione just shrugged. Harry looked sheepish as Molly stared the two down.
"What is this bickering about?" She insisted.
"Harry sacrificed me…"
"…to catch a rogue Death Eater!" Harry finished.
"You think that justified it?!"
"We got him didn't we?!"
That's not the point!"
"It's not like you were in danger!"
"You broke my cover!"
"I needed a distraction!"
"Explosions work!"
"That's way too messy, this was clean!"
The women watched as they yelled back and forth. Molly eyes rolled, and she shook her head.
"You're being ridiculous! Ron, Harry did what was best. Harry, maybe next time consult him." The boys watched her as she walked away, and neither saw a smile form on her face. Brothers bicker, and sometimes all you need is a mum to help them through it.
