THE WEASLEY FAMILY
Molly was holding her 19 month old baby. Ron was the 6th boy to be born into the family and Molly loved him so very dearly. She always had hopes for her children but for some reason; call it maternal, she knew this one was special. She didn't tell anyone else, not even Arthur, but she had a feeling that this boy was going to be famous.
Lost in her thoughts, Molly lost track of time. She was watching her baby boy lightly snore, when Arthur walked into the sitting room shaking. He was white in the face and had very red eyes, like he had been crying.
"Molly, shouldn't he be in bed?" said Arthur in a shaky voice leaning on the door frame.
"He's fine in my arms Arthur! Now quit…" Molly stopped mid-sentence as she drew her eyes from her sleeping baby to Arthur's face, "oh my, Arthur! Are you okay? What's happened?"
"It's…It's the Potter's" Arthur looked at Ron's sleeping face as a tear rolled down his check.
"Who…Who are the Potter's?" Molly asked cautiously, though she had already guessed what had happened.
"It's the family that was marked by you know who. We went to school with them; they were three years under us. The woman was Lily and the man was James…" Arthur walked slowly over to Molly, sat next to her on the couch and kissed the top of Ron's head.
"Oh…Lily. I remember them. What about their boy? They had a baby didn't they? Harold, Henry, Harry?" Silent tears were now rolling down her face. Arthur wiped her tears away and whispered,
"I don't know, Harry I think. I don't know what happened…only that he who must not be named found them and…and he…" Molly placed her head on Arthur's shoulder and closed her eyes. Arthur put his arm around her, stared at Ron sleeping for a moment of time then closed his eyes. As his parents fell into a deep sleep, baby Ron was awake but silent as he had listened and was sad. He was sad for this mystery boy Harry who had lost his parents at such a young age.
The Weasley family had no idea that in one month Molly would fall pregnant, in 10 months she would give birth to the first girl born to the Weasley's for generations and in 10 years, Ron would finally meet the boy he had wept for as a baby, though he would never remember it. Ron would also live up to the destiny his mother had guessed for him, he would save the world.
