Hi! Here we go again :-D

Imagine Edna is Molly in this one ok.

I do not own a thing. You know that.


Timeless to me – Molly/Arthur

The Burrow

November 1999

"We're going to have a baby!"

The whole Weasley family stared at Bill and Fleur with their eyes wide open, none more so than Molly who effectively squealed and ran to give a tight hug to her first-born son and her daughter in law.

"Can't breathe Mum" gasped Bill "And you're going to suffocate the baby too"

Molly pulled back and wiped the tears from her eyes, "I'm sorry, but I'm just so happy for you both! But-oh there's so much to do, there's-"

"Wait until I've told Harry first!" piped Ginny

"And let me at least tell Hermione," added Ron "Before you start worrying about A, B and C!"

"I know, I know, but-"

"This," Arthur butted in, "For the moment calls for a celebration. Why don't we organise a little party. Just us, and kids' respective girl/boyfriends "

"Don't forget Andromeda and ickle Teddy" said Fleur "He'z going to have someone to play weeth avter all"

"Brilliant idea" said Arthur, "Let me go and find that Muggle champagne that Hermione brought us for Christmas, that'll be perfect"

Arthur then turned round and went down into the Burrow's cellar where many a thing was hidden. What was it Hermione said when she came down here? "Looks like a TARDIS?" Whatever that was. Arthur got so busy searching for the bottle that he didn't hear his wife come down the stairs until he turned to look in the box next to her.

Styles keep a changing, the world's rearranging

But Edna you're timeless to me

Hemlines are shorter, a beer costs a quarter

But time cannot take what comes free

"What is it Mol?" Arthur asked, "Something wrong?"

Molly was sitting on the stairs wiping her hands on the front of her apron. She let out a small laugh.

"Don't you feel old Arthur?"

Arthur thought for a while. "Not in the slightest. Why?"

"Don't you remember what we're having this party for? Because in a few months time, there will be the first Weasley grandchild running around here; and then it'll be Percy's wedding! Then he and Charlie will have kids, and then George, and then Ron, and then (Merlin help me) my baby Ginny!"

"She's not a baby anymore dear, Ginny's 18 now."

"I know Arthur, but it seemed only yesterday that she was born and now look at her with Harry! Look at Ron and Hermione! It seems only a week ago to me that we were like that" Molly fidgeted "And now look at us, expecting our first grandchild! We're not getting any younger Arthur! We're both already getting wrinkles!"

Some folks can't stand it, say time is a bandit

But I take the opposite view

Arthur put down the box of Muggle alcohol and sat himself down on the stairs as close to Molly as he could, trying to take her hand. It was slightly sweaty now, but he didn't care.

"You're absolutely right, but that doesn't mean we can't live like we did when we were younger. Well, actually, we had more freedom than when we were younger. There was no threat of any dark wizard back then. But Voldemort's gone now, remember Molly, we should be celebrating!"

"I know bu-"

"Don't interrupt me," he laughed "What I'm trying to say is that I was thankful every day that we were alive, that you were alive. And you know what made me happy those days? Coming home from work to have another evening spent with you and the kids. To me, time is a gift Molly, let's embrace it!" He smiled at her "We've got nothing to lose"

Molly wiped her eyes a little. "Ok, and by the way, the champagne's in that box over there", pointing to a box in the corner.

Arthur got up, looked around, and found the bottle – as well as an old record to "A Cauldron full of hot strong love". He grinned at her and summoned the old record player.

"Want to dance?"

Molly got up and took his hand. It felt like just when they were younger… All she could see was the song and Arthur's hand guiding her in a land without time.

Some folks don't get it, but we never fret it

'Cause we know that time is our friend

And it's plain to see that you're stuck with me

Until the bitter end

(You're) Timeless to me – Hairspray


I hope you think that was a good choice.

I love Hairspray - seen both UK tours of it - the first time with Michael Ball as Edna - he was SO FUNNY in this song! There is another tour (different cast obvs) going on atm, so if you can, see it - it's amazing!

And yes, before you ask, I love Dr Who ;-)
