a\n: talked to my cousins last night and today. Didn't' talk much on the subject, but tis only the beginning. Anyway, here's a new chapter, conveying some of my thoughts, plus what ahs to be done for Arthur and molly….and ohmygosh! I know Arthur is distancing himself, but you will find in this chapter, its not only the fight.

Molly stayed by Arthur's side day and night….finally packing uo the courage to whisper, "I'm sorry," one evening. Molly would never forget the feeling she had, when he looked her dead in the eyes…and said quietly, "For what?" molly sighed.

"Arthur….for the fight…for lashing out on you…I'm sorry for ignoring you, love." Arthur furrowed his eyebrows, taking his hand to move molly's form his head. He laid it on the bed and stared at her, frightened.

"its so bright in here." He said slowly.

"Arthur…the lights are off."

"no…molly…its so bright." She sighed, grasping his hand.

"Arthur, just look at me..its not, I promise…its safe, its dark…its night…"

Night

Night

Night

Harry longed to bite the man but he must master the impulse, he had more important work to do. But the man was stirring, a silvery cloak fell form his legs as he jumped to his feet. And harry saw his vibrant, blurred outline towering above him, saw a wand withdrawn from a belt, he had no choice. He reared high form the floor and struck once,

"Arthur."

Twice

"Love, just look at me."

Three times.

"Arthur, its Ok…I promise."

Plunging in fangs deeply into the man's flesh.

"ahh!" sweat ran down his face.

Feeling his ribs splinter beneath his jaws.

"Ah..Mo..mo….molly….molly…" he rasped, breathing deep.

Feeling the warm…..gush….of blood.

"Molly!" molly embraced her husband tightly, he threw his arms tight around her, sobbing. Molly Prewett-Weasley had never seen her husband cry…then again, she had never seen him in his Critical Hour.

"Arthur…Arthur Weasley look at me." She begged, tears streaming down her own face now. Arthur breathed deeper and grabbed the hands that were grasping his face.

"molly I'm sorry."

"For what?"

His eyes widened.

"You don't know…?" he asked, his heart dropping.
