"Fred, put it down!"

Charlie was chasing his brother, not an entirely unusual pastime for him. But things had been especially bad recently, ever since Charlie had brought home his wand from Diagon Alley. There were many problems with this, in fact. One being that Fred and George - the troublesome duo, who had been pranksters probably in the womb - were already pretty good at magic without the wand. Of course, being who they are, they liked to steal it. Charlie had tried hiding it, locking it away, keeping it out of reach, giving it to his mother, but they seemed to find it.

Especially unhelpful given they loved to torment the youngest Weasley brother, Ron. Mercilessly. With the wand's ability to focus their magic, it meant that they could more easily wreak havoc throughout the Burrow. Including in moments like this one, where Fred is running from Charlie, waving the wand, and George was chasing Charlie. Everything was a game to them. Being five years old, it sort of made sense. Though was at time infuriating.

"Don't bother trying to catch me Charlie, I'm much faster than you!" Fred was shouting. Charlie did not agree, but that was besides the point. "Watch this!"

As Fred swirled the wand in an enormous arc, fireworks exploded around the three of them in a glittering array of colours. For a moment, Charlie was totally entranced by this magic, but seconds later Percy's frustrated cries sounded out and Charlie had been tackled by George from behind.

All in all, it was a completely normal day for the Weasleys.
