Here's the next chapter. Please read it and let me know what you think thanks love Hannah xxx

Arthur flooed back to work before then flooing on to Damon Goss' house. Damon was surprised to see his friend again so soon. "Arthur how may I help you?" he asked as Arthur looked in shock.

"Now Damon you and I have been friends for a very long time great friends in fact so I am going to ask you something and I would appreciate an honest answer from you. If you cannot give me an answer for oath reasons or something we'll get to that when we come to it. Please can you tell me why my wife was told she's being summoned to court in three days' time?" he asked as Damon looked at him with sympathy shinning in his eyes.

"Because of the vow we took as kids I know you can't lie to me and I can't lie to you. I have indeed been oath bound about the specifics of the case as in who's actually involved but all I can say is that she and someone else we know stole money from the account of a minor and attempted to create an illegal marriage contract for your daughter to marry the owner of the account. She didn't know he already had a marriage contract with someone else however the person she was aiding did know about it and still allowed her to go on and do it. Now as I said because of the vow we took as kids we can't ever lie to one another so I will ask you did you know anything about it?" he said as Arthur crumbled in shock falling on to the couch in a heap.

"No Damon I did not but some of the things my wife said before now makes sense. When we married as you know status was not what it is today. As long as you married someone magical and made a success of things it was really fine however Molly did say that she was determined that Ginny and indeed all of our children married high status people. I'm old fashioned. I don't care what happens to them as long as they are happy" here he paused taking in a shuddering breath as he attempted to compose himself.

"Molly and I have never been rich but at least I thought we'd always been happy. How could she do this to me, to us and our family? Did she even think of us when doing this? What should I do now? For years I've had a cranky wife who I knew was upset that she couldn't have the best of things but she became that way. She wasn't always like that" he said resting his head in his hands as he cried.

Damon was sorry for Arthur as since he'd been married he'd lost the spark he'd once held over the years. He always seemed to look wrecked tired these days or something. His spunk for lack of a better phrase was gone. He wasn't wrong Molly had been fine initially but her attitude had changed recently. He offered him a glass of firewhiskey which he took and downed in one go.

"I seriously can't understand this man. I mean we recently got actual good money from Minister Fudge himself. We were doing so well. Why would this continue? I mean we had money now and didn't need this poor soul's money. I know you can't legally tell me the name of the child but if I guess and it's correct can you nod to tell me if I'm right or not?" he asked as Damon looked pensive.

"I shouldn't but as you're my best friend and no one will know I will do it" he said as Arthur looked at him.

"Is it Draco Malfoy?" he said as Damon nodded no. He was shocked to hear that it was a no. Who else would it have been and then it hit him like a horrifying ton of bricks.

"Yes indeed. It's Harry Potter isn't it!" he said as Damon nodded yes. He was truly gutted as he admired him so much. He asked for a parchment and quill and set about writing to Harry Potter. Harry was in the common room at Slytherin chilling with Blaise when the letter arrived.

Dear Harry James Potter,

I am Arthur William Weasley and I writing to not only deeply apologise to you but tell you I highly admire you. I have heard one way or another about the utterly unconscionable things my wife Molly has done to you and I have never been more disgusted in my entire life. I feel like I married a fraud or something and it's not something I'm happy about.

Please know that I fully support any punishment you wish to bestow on her. I would kindly ask you not to be too harsh on our children as they had no idea what she did. It blew my mind when I discovered it today. Quite frankly it doesn't matter how I found out but I did and she will be very sorry when I get home. Please can you ask Blaise Zabini in your year to have his father contact me as I have serious need of his services? Suffice it to say Molly and I are getting a divorce. Tell the children or not I truly don't care. She has devastated this family and committed one of the crimes I truly can't and seriously won't abide.

Once I have divorced Molly house Weasley will be fully at your service and support you in everything you do. I don't believe all Slytherin's are evil I mean how could I or anyone for that matter after Peter Pettigrew was fully exposed. I can safely say I don't know who aided my so called wife but they should be most ashamed of themselves. I just really wanted to assure you I don't condone this and I am so sorry on behalf of my family as a whole. I am not apologising for her as she can do so herself in court. Let me know if there is any way in which we can compensate you for all of this trauma.

Signed Lord Arthur William Weasley.

Harry and Blaise read it in surprise as none of them had expected him to get a letter to this affect. The letter was copied and one sent off to Marco asking him what they do with it now. Marco was in his office when he received the letter from Harry with the attached letter from Arthur. He was shocked that Arthur knew about it but was genuinely moved by his response. It was clear he'd had no clue. My goodness first the thing with Peter Pettigrew and now this. The poor soul never did get a break did he? He decided to write to him and sort things out.

Dear Mr. Arthur William Weasley,

Word has reached me that you wish to avail of my services and you should know I charge only the going rates not higher than normal rates. Should you wish to meet to discuss the terms of your seeking a divorce then please meet me at 2pm tomorrow in The Leaky Cauldron so we can go from there to my office to discuss it further! Now as your wife is essentially a criminal we don't need her signature on the documents to be submitted. I am Harry Potter's lawyer which is why I know you're looking for a divorce. He forwarded the letter you sent to him on to me for his records. It is my assumption that he will respond to you shortly and merely wished me to have a copy also. If meeting tomorrow does not suit you please arrange a different time with me.

Signed,

Lord Marco Alexander Zabini.

Arthur got the letter and responded that he'd meet him in the afternoon at the time he'd suggested. He cried tears of agony as he went home and saw his wedding photo on the wall by the family clock. He could see himself and Molly kissing and waving at the camera. She came out of their room as he glared at her in the dark.

"Arthur is everything alright?" she asked as he thundered up the stairs shoving her to one side and packed a bag for himself before leaving down the stairs again.

"Come on and come to bed what are you doing!" she called out as her turned to her eyes full of rage and shouted.

"As if I'd ever share a bed with the likes of you. You disgust me. I know what you've done you….you animal!" and aparated away on the spot leaving her there crying confused tears. What had she done? Hopefully that Damon Goss guy had not gone telling lies about her. She'd never in her life had an affair on him and wouldn't be accused of such. Now she couldn't be sure that this was what he was talking about but what else could he be referencing?

Back at school Harry was sat at his desk thinking of how to respond to Mr. Weasley. He felt bad for him as he was the one losing out. He finally penned his response.

Dear Mr. Arthur William Weasley,

I have received and indeed appreciate your letter. I am fully aware that you knew nothing of your wife's actions and will not judge you or your family by them. If and when the time comes for me to request anything of you should I need to do so I will indeed do so! I would ask that you teach your children if they don't already know to never judge the son based on the actions of the father or mother. I certainly never do that. Please know I hold no grudges against you as that's not healthy. I believe in time we could be good friends if god permits it. Thank you so much for your heartfelt letter.

Signed Harry James Potter.

Arthur received the letter and smiled. At least Harry wouldn't hold a grudge against him. What he said about not judging the son by actions of the father or mother was true indeed. As he checked into the fancy wizarding hotel in Cornwall he smiled. He felt free at last. No one nagging him or telling him constantly that it wasn't good enough. He had suffered that the last ten or so years and no more. Marco would tell him all about how things were going to work out tomorrow.
