Yellow Orb

"Great choice Molly, yellow is a brilliant colour!" said Gideon as Molly stood in front of the clouded orb.

"I was sort of hoping I'd see one of my children's faces in the orb," said Molly sadly as she peered further into the orb.

"Nope, touch the orb to access the future Mols!" said Fabian.

Molly looked behind her at her younger twin brothers, she never thought she would see them again. She could still remember the day she had been informed of their death, she could feel the cold on her knees as she dropped to the floor. She was their elder sister and it was her job to keep them safe and she had failed. Now they were dead and here giving her a chance to save the children she held so dear, her seven babies were her life and she may have failed her brothers but her children, she'd take out Voldemort himself if anything harmed her children! With that thought in her mind she turned to the yellow orb and placed her hands around it.

Wind appeared out of nowhere and Molly gripped the orb tightly as a heavy gust of wind lifted her feet off the ground and bright yellow spirals appeared in front of her and her stomach dropped! It was worse than apperating and she wasn't a fan of that. She groaned as she travelled faster through the yellow spirals, her vision blurring at the speed of travel. Vomit was rising up her stomach and she pleaded for it all to stop, everything was getting smaller and she wanted to cry she felt like her life was ending and then it stopped!

Molly blinked and glanced around, the yellow spirals had vanished as had the yellow orb. All feelings of faint and nausea had gone and she was finally stood on hard floor again and the wind that had been so strong had vanished.

"Well that wasn't fun," said a voice from behind her and Molly turned to see both Gideon and Fabian frowning.

"You felt all of that too?" the boys nodded and Molly finally focused more on her surroundings.

The room she was in was very decorative with fine polished mahogany furniture. A large writing desk was in the far corner with a highly decorated cabinet with finely blown glass vases in bright colours. There was a dark blue and green rug laid across the black wooden floor. And against the wall was a leather sofa which looked more for decoration then actual comfort. On the cream wall was a large poster of a boat on the ocean, the water was splashing against the canvas as the boat rocked against the storm.

"Beautiful room," said Molly. "I wonder which of my babies live here,"

"Why don't we look on the desk and find out?" suggested Gideon pointing to the back of two picture frames on the desk.

Molly nodded and hurried to the desk, she went to pick up the frame but her hand slipped straight through it. "Eh?"

"You're invisible Molly you can't touch or pick up anything, all you can do is smell and see." Reminded Gideon and Molly nodded.

She walked around the desk and halted in her steps as she stared at the two pictures. The one on the left was the one that caught her eye. Two bright smiley white grins beamed up at her and her heart melted as she gazed up on the two little girls with bright orange hair and stunning blue eyes. They were both very young in the picture both no older than five. She forced her eyes to look at the picture on the left and she bit her lip to hold in the tears. She recognised the woman in the picture though her hair was now a light brown and she looked more mature from the last time she saw her Molly recognised Penelope Clearwater.

"Percy." she said with a lump in her throat. Her beloved estranged son, she hadn't seen him in months but the last time she had seen him, Fred and George had chased him from the Burrow. Her heart ached for her third child, but as her eyes skimmed the two photographs she was relieved to see he was okay and that he had made it safely through the war.

"Do you know their names?" Molly asked tearing her eyes from the portraits to the ghosts of her brothers.

"You seem to recognise Penelope?" Molly nodded, "Well the two little girls are Percy and Penny's children. The eldest little girl is 4 years old and she's called Judy, and the second little girl is called Pippa and she is three." Explained Fabian and Molly smiled as she looked back at them. Though she couldn't physically touch them she gently reached her hand to caress the smiling children's faces.

"Judy and Pippa," she whispered quietly and blinked away the tears. "Can I see them?"

Fabian nodded and he disappeared out of the office door, Gideon followed his twin silently and Molly almost ran after them; the names Judy and Pippa repeating over and over in her mind. As she left the room she wasn't surprised to see the house so neat and tidy. Percy had always been organised and precise so it made sense that his house would be the same.

"How many rooms are there in this house?" Molly asked after walking past another door, she had already counted four doors excluding the one she had just walked out of.

"Eleven," said Gideon.

"Eleven? What are they all," said Molly amazed that the house was so big.

"Four bedrooms, a bathroom and an office all upstairs. Downstairs there's a living room, kitchen, dining room and a utility. There is an ensuite bathroom conjoined to the master bedroom so if you include that then actually there are 12 rooms in total." Fabian said winking at his brother who scowled in response.

"That's extraordinary the house must have cost a fortune." She said but there was a thought niggling away at the back of her mind. "Boys? Is Percy in contact with the family?" she asked. The boys stopped and her heart dropped to her stomach.

"Yes, everything will change in a few years, you just have to allow him to find his way back." said Gideon with a smile and relief flushed through Molly like a summers breeze on a hot day.

"I know my grandbabies," she said and the twins nodded.

"Judy put it back,"

"Percy?" Molly said, she'd know that voice anywhere. "He's through that door?" the twins nodded and Molly walked straight forward desperate to meet her son. The second she walked through the door she froze.

Percy was seated in an armchair his hair shorter on the sides and thinning considerably on the top, he was so much older and it was odd to see, he was beginning to have fine lines on the sides of his eyes and she was relieved to see there were some smiles lines around his lips. He looked healthy and well, he was slim but not too skinny and his clothes seemed to fit him well. He was her baby and he looked every bit of her baby that she missed.

Somehow she was able to pull her eyes off her son to look at the scowling little girl who was tightly holding a book in her arms. Her bright orange hair was pulled up in a ponytail and she was also wearing a pair of little blue glasses. She was dressed in a purple dress and a pair of grey tights. Her lips were screwed up in a little pout.

"Oh she's absolutely precious!" gushed Molly.

"Stubborn as a Prewett too," chuckled Gideon to which Molly waved off, she hadn't been stubborn as a child she just knew what she wanted and refused to budge.

"But Daddy!"

"No but's put it back that's Mummy's book for work it's very important and you must not touch it,"

"I was only playing Mummy!" Judy said stomping her foot.

Molly swooned as Judy placed her hand on her waist, she was adorable and the cutest little four year she had seen since Ginny.

"You can play Mummy without that book Missy! If you break it Mummy will be very sad!" he said but Judy ignored him and clutched the book tighter!

"Judy put the book back now!" said Percy and Judy bravely shook her head. Percy sighed and pushed himself up out of his chair, he reached for the stick beside him and hobbled over to where his stubborn four year old daughter was and confiscated the book from her.

"Daddy I want it so I can pretend to be Mummy and make my dollies better! It's mummy's magic medicine book!"

"Yes and you are not to be using Mummy's magic medicine book, why don't you cure your dollies and make a book of your own? I'll give you some parchment and crayons so you can make one of your own?" Judy seemed to think about the offer for a few seconds before nodding.

"That way I can be more like Mummy!" Percy nodded and he placed the book on to a higher shelf and with the aid of his stick hobbled across the room to get some parchment.

Molly watched the scene with wide eyes, "What's happened to him, why does he require a stick to walk?"

"During the war Percy was hit with a spell by a Deatheater it hit him in the lower back effecting his right leg, it was so badly damaged that he required years' worth of physiotherapy to be able to walk again, it's how he was reacquainted with his now wife. She's a Mediwitch in St Mungo's and was his doctor, seeing as he was visiting the hospital regularly they struck up a friendships which led into a romance. As you can see things turned out well for them, Percy has difficulties with his leg but it hasn't stopped him from doing day to day activities, after all he never was sporty.

"What about playing with his children?" Molly asked as tears prickled her eyes.

"They were born with him like this they know no different, he can't play physical games but he can play with them, don't look at him with such sadness Molly. You should be proud he achieved so much and never once used his disability for sympathy. Many are going to die Mols, he's one of the lucky ones." Explained Gideon and Molly knew he was right.

Her son was alive and he was as handsome to her as he had always been. She couldn't help but see Arthur in him now he was older, even more so with the lack of hair on the top of his head. She watched as he handed his daughter the parchment he'd promised and she beamed up at him before dropping near the fireplace to draw and colour.

"How many years into the future is this?"

Fabian frowned for a minute thinking of the year "10! The war ended about 8 years ago!"

"Okay," she said that meant the war was in 2 years' time! The thought alone worried her and she was eager to see what happened to her six other children.

A pop in the hall way caused Judy to pause what she was doing and jump to her feet. She ran through the gap between the sofa's and towards the door, she rocked on her tiptoes as the door opened. "Mummy!" she cried raising her arms in the air ready for a hug!

"Hello darling! Have a fun day with Daddy today?" Judy nodded and accepted the hug off her mother. From behind Penelope a smaller girl with red pig tails ran into the room, her black shoes still on her feet as she bounded to where her father was sat.

"You get your new shoes Pip?" Percy asked and Pippa placed her two feet together to show him. "Well those are pretty!" he said. "You like them?"

"Yeah Daddy, got butterflies on them!" she said pointing to the two butterflies on the flower on the toe of the shoe.

"That they do!" he reached forwards and picked her up. He placed the newspaper he'd been reading on the side and placed her on his knee for a hug. She wrapped her tiny arms around his neck.

"Mummy where my new shoes?" Judy asked looking down at her own feet.

"You got some new shoes last month when your old ones got too small, well Pippa's shoes are too small for her now so she needed bigger ones." Said Penelope softly.

"Oh," she muttered before nodding her head. "Come luck Mummy, I been pretending to be you!" she reached for her mother's hand and pulled her towards her parchments on the floor.

"Have you now?" she asked cocking an eyebrow at Percy who rolled his eyes.

"Yeah Daddy said I couldn't play with your magic book of medicine but said I should make one of my own."

"Books now out of reach dear," Percy said and Penelope nodded letting out a little sigh.

"Look Mummy!" Penelope kneeled on the floor and surveyed her daughter's sketches.

"Very good Sweetie, now what's wrong with your dollies to need this procedure?" she asked with a chuckle.

Judy peered at the picture and frowned. "Flissy gonna be chewed up by wolves Mummy and all her arms are gonna pop out, that spell put all her arms back in!"

"Oh dear indeed! Maybe we should keep Flissy inside so she doesn't get ravaged by wolves!"

"Can't Mummy she's going on a picnic with Daisy the sunflower!"

"Daisy the Sunflower?" asked Percy and Judy nodded. "Shouldn't a Daisy flower be called Daisy?"

"Er no Daddy a Sunflower can be a Daisy too!" said Judy with a scowl.

"Oh okay then!"

"She's just too cute! And her sister, they are perfect!" gushed Molly "And Penny looks to be such an amazing mum and the fact that she is pregnant is even better! She's going to be giving me another beautiful grandchild!

"Calm yourself down Molly! You've still many years to wait until you can be surrounded by all this!"

"Can you tell me what she's having? Do you know?"

"Yes we know and yes we can tell you but right now focus on the present!" Molly scowled at her brothers but knew they wouldn't budge.

"Mummy what for tea?" Pippa asked from her father's knee. She'd been pointing at the pictures of different wizards and witches in the Daily Prophet while her Mother and sister talked about the pictures.

"Spaghetti Bolognese and Garlic bread!" said Penelope and the two girls cheered. "Mummy's Bolognese is the most famous in the world!"

"That's because Mummy puts that much garlic in that it keeps all the vampires away," teased Percy with a smirk.

"Daddy keeps talking like that and Daddy will not be getting any tea, right girls?"

"Yeah!" they cried and Penelope smirked right back at him.

"Touché" he chuckled.

"Mummy when I grow up I be like you!" said Judy and Penelope smiled.

"Then you will have to try very hard when you go to Hogwarts and get all your grades so you can be a Mediwitch too!" Judy nodded her head vigorously and Penelope smiled.

"What you want to be when you get bigger Pip?"

"Erm… look after Bunny Rabbits?" Pippa said and Percy chuckled.

"Just Bunny rabbits? What about all sorts of animals?" he asked.

"Not scary animals though like crocodidles?"

"Crocodiles, and no you don't have to look after crocodiles."

"Good, Daddy I no like crocodidles!"

Molly cooed over the word, she continued to listen to her grandchildren tell their parents what they wanted to be when they grew up before she turned to her brothers.

"What field does Penny work in?"

"Erm Spell Damage," said Gideon, "she's rather high up the ranks in it too!"

"Oh that's excellent," said Molly with a grin, "what about Percy?"

"A member of the Wizengamot," said Fabian and Molly beamed even further.

"Both are in respectable jobs, though I never had any doubt that Percy would progress in the Ministry, oh I am so proud!"

Time seemed to go fast in the future and Molly was already watching the clock! So far she had seen the girls playing with their toys, Penelope had made her famous Spaghetti Bolognese and the family had already tucked into it, ice cream had been for dessert and now the girls were getting into bed. Molly had followed Percy back to his office, he was sat quietly at his desk with a beautiful eagle feather quill. Molly walked behind her son and peered over his shoulder.

"It's some kind of story," she said as she read the words Percy had already written. "About a girl and a cat, I think it's a children's book!"

"You seemed surprised by it Molly," Chuckled Gideon as he stared at his Nephew.

"I am, Percy has always been creative and I'm sure you can remember always had a book in his hand but I never really imagined him to be an author of a children's book."

"They never cease to surprise you," said Fabian as he floated towards Percy, "I'm loving this floating around business, it really need promoting in the present time." Molly rolled her eyes at her younger brother.

"He seems really happy!" Molly said as she lent against the wall, all she wanted was her son to be happy and she was relieved that he was.

The door to the office opened and Percy's head lifted just a fraction to see his wife walk in side.

"The girls are in bed," she said as she slowly walked towards Percy, "how's the book going?"

Percy sighed and placed his quill on the desk, "it's getting there but I'm struggling with the ending, I don't know how it turned into a children's book, I've never had any interest in children's book. I'm not sure I can do this."

"Nonsense my love, if anyone can write a children's book it is you. You have 2 beautiful daughters who love their children's books you've read so many to them, not only that but you have a way with words and I have so much faith in you!"

"Thank you love, how are you feeling? You've hardly been off your feet all day!"

"I'm used to it, don't forget I'm on my feet a lot at work. Though being pregnant makes life so much harder."

"Yes but only a few months from now and you'll be on Maternity leave…"

"And will then I'll have a new born and two young children to run after, I don't know how your parents handled 7."

"They had to be strict, well Mum was strict my dad was far more laid back." chuckled Percy, "I think she actually had 8 kids with my dad. But I was the easiest of the seven the rest were far more difficult,"

"Wouldn't necessarily agree with that statement," said Gideon with a frown. "He was one of the hardest because he was so opposite to his brothers, your five other boys were happy to be outside playing and you could easily get them all engaged at once, you just had to watch the twins with Ron. But Perc just wasn't interested, lost count how many times plans were changed because of him. He was the most difficult."

"Yes he was but at the same time I always knew Percy was behaving," Defended Molly

"Often was the first to tattle on his sibling," butted in Fabian.

"Stop picking on my son, Percy was usually the worst target of the twin's pranks, he had it difficult with them, and I only had one pair of eyes, maybe the twins didn't do everything that Percy told me but I'm certain they did most of it!"

"Maybe so, take a last look at your son and daughter-in-law Mol as it's time to leave."

"What! Already? Do we have too?"

"I'm afraid we do Molly! You've six more children to view we need to get going!" Molly sighed and stared at her son and his wife who were sat cuddled up in the chair of his desk. Her vision started to fade and everything went black.

Seconds later she was back in the room with the orbs but now the once yellow orb was now stone, her fingers ran over the stone ball and her heart sunk. Ten years seemed so far away, she'd have to wait ten years until she could see her son happy like that.

"Want to ask any questions Molly?"

Questions, she'd forgot about asking questions but after Gideon's reminder a million and one questions flew into her mind.

"Yes, firstly what are the two girl's birthdays?"

"Judy is the 2nd of November and Pippa is the 2nd of March, pretty easy to remember if you ask me."

Molly nodded, "how peculiar, and the unborn baby?"

Fabian and Gideon smiled, "It's a boy and they named him Jacob Weasley and he'll be born on the 15th of June."

"And do they have any more children?" the boys shook their heads and Molly nodded. "How about work do they both continue to work?"

"Penny stops working when Jacob is born, she decides to stay home with the children. Percy continues to progress in the Wizengamot so they can afford to live on that one wage."

"How about Hogwarts, what houses are they all sorted into?"

"Judy and Jacob are both in Gryffindor and Pippa is in Hufflepuff!" Molly nodded with a smile.

"I'm so pleased that Percy has such a wonderful life. His children are just so cute and he's happy in love and successful. What more could a mother wish for?"

"To see another child's future?" Gideon suggested wiggling his eyebrows and pointing to the six remaining orbs. Molly sighed but indeed nodded, it was cruel but it was now time to place her third child to the back of her mind and focus on another.

It has been so long since I've actually written for this story, I wrote the first chapter last year and then I sort of disappeared from the site, but now I'm back and this is the first update for this story and also the first update of the year :D

With the results of the vote it turned out to be equal votes for Bill down to George so it was sort of left to me who to pick and I decided to not start with Bill as with him being the eldest he'll be the most obvious choice so instead I went with Percy, with the time frame of the story Percy has "left" the family and he was the one I was mostly intrigued to write. I do hope you all like the first future, thanks for reading!

Lottie!
