Title: Arthur’s Find
Rating: G
Arthur hated Halloween. Miscreant wizards charmed muggle items everywhere, and Arthur spent the entire night un-charming them.
So when Arthur was summoned to a suburb of London, he expected to find the usual exploding pumpkin. Instead, he found a small child, dressed as a muggle witch (silly pointed hat and all), pointing a stick at her toys and making them move.
She ignored the apparating Arthur, so surprised she was by her own abilities. A witch born to a muggle family, Arthur deduced. And talented too. Another Hermione.
“You shouldn’t do that, you know.” said Arthur kindly.
“Why not?”
Arthur gently pulled the stick from her hand. She frowned.
“Someday you will do proper magic, even better than what you are doing now,” he told her softly. “Real magic. I promise. But right now you mustn’t. It’s dangerous.”
The child looked at him suspiciously, then nodded.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a candy. Eat this and it will turn your tongue three different colors. And remember what I said.”
She popped the sweet into her mouth.
“I am a witch, you know,“ she told him as he turned to go.
“Yes,” said Arthur smiling. “Yes, you are.”
