The Weasley Clock
Where is he?
Where's Arthur?
Molly bites a lip, confused and a bit anxious
She went for a shower after breakfast, leaving him at the dining table reading a book called How Things Work
He was engrossed, she could tell
But now: he's nowhere to be seen!
She's been to the kitchen, peeked in their bedroom, looked in on baby Bill
But there's no sign of Arthur
Her mind reels and she jumps to conclusions
Death Eaters… yes, it must be them
Tears stream down her face, she can't imagine life without Arthur, her love, her soul mate, her very soul!
And then she hears an almighty CRASH!
Molly rushes out, wand drawn expecting the worst
She sees smoke coming out of Arthur's shed and she runs to it
"Er… Molly dear, I think I blew up the gas tank"
Arthur smiles at her sheepishly
Molly's eyes sparkle and her fiery red hair crackles dangerously
"ARTHUR WEASLEY! HOW COULD YOU PUT ME THROUGH THAT? I THOGUHT YOU WERE DEAD!"
"I'm sorry"
Her husband responds meekly
Molly turns and marches to the door where she spins around and shoots the Bat-Bogey Hex at Arthur
He dodges, missing it narrowly
Molly snorts angrily and storms off
Later that day, Arthur brings Molly a present
It's a clock with three hands
Molly, Arthur and Bill, they're labelled
All three hands point to Home
Molly smiles and Arthur knows he's forgiven
Molly won't admit it yet, but she knows that this will give her hope in times of distress
Dark times, that she knows loom ahead….
