1Thoughts Of A Loved One

Chapter one: Debating Dumbledore paced slowly around his study, the wind blowing. It had been cold all night, and cold is exactly how Albus felt. How am I supposed to say this? He thought to himself, Molly died Arthur, no no that isn't good, he thought. She's in a better place, "ugh.." He said. She's at... oh give it up Albus, he said to himself, there's simply no right way to tell him this. Then there was a knock on the large, latched door. Oh, no he's here, Albus unlatched the door to reveal Arthur Weasley. Him and Molly were so close, Albus had no idea on how to tell him this, but then again he didn't think he had to. He saw Arthur's blood-shot eyes, his untidy red hair, his unshaven chin and drooping eyes. Albus also noticed his ragged cloths. Arthur was holding one small cup of coffee, he truely looked horrible. Albus thought to himself, 'this isn't Arthur at all, this was a different man.' Then Arthur said, "Albus, I know, but tell me how." Albus was stricken, and blank for words. Chapter two: The Pensieve Albus stood up and led Arthur to the cabinet, when he opened it he revealed the pensieve. Albus said, "are you sure you want to witness this Arthur?" Arthur stood staring then said, " let me see my baby one last time." Albus nodded and added his thoughts but could not look. There were rays and jets of light flying all over, then Arthur saw her,"oh Molly," he said quietly. "Protego!" She yelled at top pitch. "Expelliarmus!" "Flippendo!" "Avada Kedavra!" Arthur winced, then he lost everything and and said silently, "no Molly, turn around, why, turn just look behind you." Albus felt horrible for him. He didn't know what to say again, and Arthur sank to the floor slowly. The next thing Dumbledore knew Arthur was running out and slamming the door. "Oh god," he thought.

Chapter three: People's Feeling's

Arthur ran into the Burrow crying. Ginny was making dinner waiting for him, even she looked horrible, when she heard the door slam. "Dad!" She yelled after him. She found him sitting in his favorite armchair in the living room. He smiled weakly at her and ushered her to sit down with him. She obliged and they both stayed there the whole night. Ginny wondered if any of them would ever be the same again. When Ginny awoke the next morning she came in to find her dad and Bill embracing each other in the kitchen and Charlie and Percy cooking, well making an attempt. She smiled as Bill and Arthur broke apart, " Goodmorning daddy, Bill, Charlie, Perce what are you all doing here this early?" "We wanted to help you guys, I mean after all it is only the two of you." Bill smlied unconvincingly as to get his point across, Ginny smiled back and they sat down to breakfast. This happened the first few weeks every morning and then Ginny and Arthur were able to stay there on their own. Everyone got back to normal, pretty much, and a few of the younger boy even got jobs, they knew it would have made their mum proud. Also they made sure anyone who walked in the Burrow felt welcome, because the Weasley matriarch would always have done that. The remaining Weasley's thought about Molly a lot the first few weeks and months and thinking of what she would want came up with scheduals and got back to normal life. (As normal as it could get.)
