A/N: Written for the Twelve Days of Christmas Challenge where I have to write two cannon fics.
The Wealsey's
The fire crackled in the fireplace as the soothing yet deadly flames warmed the room while illuminating the couple sitting on the old worn brown comfortable sofa together in a worn but cosy living room. Above the fireplace on the mantelpiece hundreds of photo's, both magical and muggle, cluttered the area. Each one was filled with at least one happy smiling red haired child at various points in their life. One on the right showed a picture of a happy seven year old boy with bright blue eyes holding up a bunch of flowers to the camera, another photo on the left hand side of the mantelpiece was of a five year old child dressed in his swimming clothes looking down at the water nervously with his bright red hair glistening in the sunlight and a similar looking man standing protectively behind him. Finally in the middle of the mantelpiece stood a photo of the newest member of the family, a new born baby with a tuff of red hair wrapped up in a soft blue blanket sleeping peacefully in his mother's arms.
"I can't believe how far we have come in these past ten years," Molly said softly with a happy smile as she snuggled into her husband's side on the sofa.
The past ten years had been kind to Molly, she had grown into a beautiful young woman with long red hair and kind brown eyes, gone was the teenage girl that had not yet grown into her body and in her place was a kind and loving short, plump, and kind face young woman who was a born mother. She wore a flowery apron over her clothes with her wand peeping out from one of the many pockets.
"I know, I still can't believe how Magic has blessed us with three healthy and happy boys," Arthur said with a relaxed sigh as he placed a loving arm around Molly's waist, "And tomorrow I start my better paid job as the Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office."
"Oh Arthur," Molly chuckled, her voice full of love for her husband, "You and your love of all things muggle, what am I going to do with you?"
"Oh I don't know, how about getting me my own personal muggle for my birthday or Father's Day so they can explain everything to me?" Arthur asked with a sly playful grin causing Molly to snot.
"Not likely, if I did that I would never be able to get you to do anything," Molly said with a sigh as she placed her head on Arthur's shoulders, "And I'm going to need all your help love, what with our little Percy finally hear and I'm having to keep my eye on Bill in case he finds something dangerous in his attempt to find out more about curses and Charlie! I swear Charlie thinks of nothing but dragons! If I did not know any better I would of thought that Charlie was really a dragon in disguise."
"Yes well we all know just how passionate Charlie is about anything to do with dragons," Arthur replied with a found smile playing on his lips as he thought of his children, "And Bill...well at least he knows what he wants to do when he finishes Hogwarts."
"Yes, a Curse Breaker, horrible profession to go into," Molly replied with a sniff as she moodily glared at the crackling fire, "Why he can't think of something less dangerous and less-"
"I know Molly but that is just how Bill, along with Charlie, is," Arthur said as he placed a loving hand on his wife's shoulder, "Don't worry love, if things go your way our little Percy will be the nice quiet type that you can mother to your heart's desire."
Giving Arthur a playful glare Molly turned back to the fireplace and watched as the fire did its deadly dance safely thanks to several protective spells and wards. Soothing and loving silence covered the couple like a thick protective blanket as they slowly began to find themselves lost in thought as they imagined what their family would be like in the future.
The End.
Hope you enjoyed my two little drabbles/one shots about Lily and James, and Arthur and Molly :)
