The Note

There was a small 'Pop' as the newly engaged Arthur and Molly apparated to just outside Molly's parents' house. "Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Arthur questioned, with the worry clear in his voice.

Molly laughed, "Of course, goodnight Arthur. See you tomorrow," she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Goodnight Mollywobbles," Arthur said, smiling and returning the kiss.

Molly was sure to be very quiet as she snuck into the house. But, she couldn't help but check her mother's clock to see where everyone was. Good, everyone was home.

"Molly, your brothers are coming for dinner tonight," Norman Prewett casually brought up the topic at breakfast the next morning.

"Oh, how nice! When are they coming?" Molly replied to her father. In all truth, she loved her brothers Fabian and Gideon to death and back, but their arrival would put a damper on her plans for tonight.

"They said to expect them around 6:00, but you know the twins, they'll probably either be two hours late of two hours early," Mr. Prewett laughed.

"May I be excused? I have some things I need to get done," Molly asked.

"Of course, love. But, I will need your help cooking dinner later," Helena Prewett assured her daughter.

"Alright," Molly called from the top of the stairs.

Later that evening, two identical tall, broad-shouldered and ginger-haired men apparated in front of the Prewett home and knocked.

Helena answered the door. "FABIAN! GIDEON!" she embraced them both in a rib-cracking hug, "We've missed you!"

"Missed you too, mum, can Fab and I breathe now?" Gideon laughed, giving his mother a loving pat on the arm.

"Where's Molly?" Fabian asked, once he was in the door and had greeted his father.

"She went up to her room," their father responded.

"We'll go get her," The twins offered in unison and headed up the stairs.

"Oooohhhh Moooollyyyy!" The twins sang out once they reached Molly's room. Alas, their faces fell when their chorus met an empty room.

"Huh, dad said she was up here," said Gideon with curiosity in his voice.

"Hey Gid, look, a note," Fabian said getting his brother's attention. He read:

To Mum, Dad, Fabian, & Gideon

They looked at each other with fright in their eyes as Fabian continued reading:

By the time you read this I will be gone. Don't worry, I'm alright, I'm the happiest girl in the world right now. Yesterday, I became engaged to Arthur Weasley! We're in true love. We're getting married tonight. Don't worry; we're coming back, after we know it's safe. You know what I mean Fabian, Gideon. Mum, dad, I'll always be your little girl. Fab, Gid, I'll always be your little sister. I love you, but I love Arthur too.

Love Always,

Molly Weasley nee Prewett
