Thank you ShortieGirl1 for the review! I'm glad you like the story so far! here's another chapter...
…the front door opened and Molly's rain-soaked husband entered the kitchen.
"Honey!" Molly rushed to greet him and help him out of the cloak. She quickly kissed him on the lips and hurried to take out cinnamon swirl buns out of the oven.
The scent of buns filled their house in record time, and soon enough reached Ron's trained nose. He could have smelled any food all the way from quiditch playground they had behind the hill.
"Mom, mom! He shouted excitedly is dinner ready yet?" and he jumped up from his spot between the couch and the table so fast that he ruined all the countryside Ginny and Jade made from the blankets and pillows. The Harry Potter doll flew high into the air and landed on Ginny's red-haired doll – which – as Ginny said herself was very rude of Harry, because he should behave like gentleman all the time, even while Ron-attack instead of dragon-attack.
Ginny pouted and started to rearrange the comforter but then realized mom's talking to someone and it had to be her father so Ginny jumped over the back of the couch and landed on her bum. But that didn't stop her and she rushed to the kitchen.
"Daddy! Daddy you're home! Will you play with us?" Arthur picked his youngest up and loudly kissed her cheek.
"Maybe later darling, I have some things to do first." He announced officially and Jade got scared. She could hear him all the way from living-room. She was standing there all alone, unsure what to do. This was definitely a family thing – everyone welcoming Mr. Weasley at home. She felt out of place.
Mr. Weasley put Ginny down and walked into the living-room.
"Welcome home miss Jade, we're glad to have you here." He said with the most official tone he knew and stretched out his arm to shake Jade's hand.
Jade took it and her little hand was lost in his big palm.
"It is pleasure to meet you young lady, I'm very sorry I couldn't be here for your homecoming but there was an emergency at the ministry." He explained his absence.
Jade looked up at him, he seemed to be a really important man, saving ministry and talking like this, she didn't know what to think until their eyes met and she saw a sparkle of mischief in his dark blue eyes. She smiled and he smiled too and when she giggled he started to laugh really hard and soon all the kids and Mr. Weasley were laughing their heads off. Molly just shook her head and went back to the kitchen to set plates on the table.
Mr. Weasley wiped his eyes and with his left hand caught Ginny who jumped on his back.
"I'm Arthur" he introduced himself and smiled.
Now he didn't look scary at all. He walked around Jade to the couch and threw himself down, putting his feet up on the coffee table. Ron handed him the morning newspaper and sat down on Arthur's outstretched knees.
"Daddy! You're sitting on Harry and Me!" exclaimed Ginny and proceeded to pull her dolls from under her father.
"I'm sorry honey, I didn't know Harry came for a visit today! Harry, the Harry Potter?" Arthur pretended to panic and started to smooth his hair down to one side.
He jumped up and laughing Ron fell on the floor.
"There you are Mr. Potter, I'm sorry, so sorry!" apologized terrified Arthur and took the hand of Harry-the doll and started to shake his hand so hard that he almost hit the ceiling.
Jade laughed with Ron but Ginny didn't like it at all.
"I'm telling mom!" she pouted and marched to the kitchen from where they heard her complaints.
Arthur set the doll down, next to him on the couch, and patted its head. Then he put his feet back to the coffee table and Ron climbed back on his knees.
Jade climbed on the couch and sat down sideways, pulling her feet underneath her.
"Arthur I told you not to make fun of Ginny's Harry…" scolded angry Molly from the kitchen but was interrupted by red-faced Ginny: "He's not MY Harry! Mo-om!"
"Arthur! Put your feet down from the table this instant!" finished Molly.
And so Ron fell to the floor for the second time that evening.
Arthur pulled him up from the floor and sat him on his knee.
"Now kids, how was your day?" he smiled at them.
"Good dad, but tell us about ministry! What happened today? Something exciting?" demanded Ron.
"Well, we had lots of little emergencies – like every day, but the biggest case was when one wizard from Southampton decided to make his bicycle fly." Arthur looked from Ron to Jade and shook his head – as if he couldn't believe someone would be that silly.
"And did it work?" asked Jade, speaking for the first time.
"Of course it worked, that's why we had to get there and try to cover it and blame it on some unusual reflection of light in the little particles of mist from the ocean or something." Explained Arthur.
"Awww Ocean I wish we could go to the ocean one day!" dreamed Ron.
"Dinner's ready." Announced Ginny coldly and came to the couch and with a little bit more force than needed took her Harry doll and carried him to the kitchen.
When Arthur marched into the kitchen followed by Ron and Jade, everything was already at the table.
Deliciously looking potato-carrot mash and grilled chicken. A bowl of sweet peas and like a dessert, cinnamon swirl buns with cream glaze on top.
Ron hopped on his chair and started to put everything on his plate.
"Ron! Watch your manners!" scolded Molly, which slowed Ron down but didn't stop him.
Arthur helped Ginny to cur a piece of meat and put it on her plate, then asked Jade which piece she wanted and when she shyly pointed it out he helped her put it on the plate too.
Soon everyone was laughing at Ron who has gravy on his cheek and mouth full of mash and peas. Molly brought a glass of pumpkin juice for everyone and beer for Arthur. They talked and laughed long after the dinner was over and even Jade shared a funny story or two. She was starting to relax more.
At nine o'clock it was already dark outside and Molly sent the kids upstairs to brush their teeth and get ready for bed.
When it was only her and Arthur in the kitchen, he came to her and hugged her from behind as she was putting away clean dishes.
"It went well, don't you think? Pretty smooth and uneventful first day." He whispered to her left ear.
"As uneventful and smooth as it could be here in out home. Ron and Ginny behaved pretty well, but just wait until tomorrow when they all forget Jade is new here and all their mischief will be back!" laughed Molly and turned to her husband.
"Don't worry, I will be home tomorrow and I'll find something fun for the kids. No time for exploding half of your kitchen! I promise!" said Arthur and followed Molly upstairs where she kissed every child good night and turned off their lights.
