Arthur Weasley's New Car
Arthur Weasley has just been handed a set of keys at his retirement party. And he knows that his children have all pitched in to give him a gift to say thank you for all the sacrifices and support he and Molly have given all of them over the years.
But he is puzzled as to why he would be given keys of all things. When his kids notice his excited but confused look, they smile and laugh. This only confuses Arthur more.
So he turns to the two members of his family who might actually be able to explain what is going on: his daughter-in-law, Hermione, and son-in-law, Harry. Said son-in-law just holds up a blindfold and Arthur Weasley's world is plunged into darkness; he can feel himself being moved around and he thinks he is facing behind where he was standing.
The blindfold is removed and Arthur blinks a few times, then his eyes widen to see a shiny, brand new car. He is stunned, looking between the car and the keys in his hand, doing this several times before he finds his voice, and even then, all he can do it mutter incoherently.
This makes his family laugh heartily, and Harry decides to put him out of his misery.
"Obviously, the keys are for the car."
Arthur just nods, too dumbstruck to do or say much else as he examines his gift more closely, and he notes a black tag of sorts that has what looks like a large button in the centre of it hanging from the keys in his hand.
"Harry, what is this?" Arthur asks, holding up the tag.
"That is the keyless entry device for your car. Here, let me show you."
When Harry takes the keys and points them at the car, Arthur hears a series of beeps and sees lights on the car flash on and off, his eyes widening with shock and excitement. After a few moments he notices that his mouth is hanging open; he closes it and composes himself before asking, "How?"
A grinning Harry shows him the button on the black tag and presses it again. The lights on the car flash once more and Arthur wonders what other items Muggles have cleverly invented, only to be pulled from his thoughts by Molly scolding him.
"Arthur Weasley! I know that look! You are not going to do anything to that car. This is your retirement gift. You will not tinker with any part of it. Do I make myself perfectly clear?"
"Yes, dear."
A/N- I hope you enjoyed reading about Arthur playing with his car. Please remember to leave me some love. Reviews feed the muse.
