"What's wrong children?" Molly asked as she hurried across the kitchen to sit down at the table.

"Oh, Mum, you're not going to like it," Ron said warily.

"What do you mean, dear? Is something the matter?"

"Not exactly, Mrs. Weasley," Hermione answered.

"What is it? I thought you were going to meet some friends? Whatever is the matter?" Molly asked, Harry now sitting down beside her.

"Mum, its Dad, he," George began.

"Oh, dear," Molly gasped, her hands coming up to cover her mouth.

"Is he alright?" Harry asked.

"He, he," George stammered.

"He, oh, Hermione, you say it," Ron said, grabbing a hold of Hermione's arm for comfort.

"Well, you see, we didn't really go to see friends. The boys wanted to go and talk to their father about, well, everything, and Ron and I wanted to tell him about our engagement," Hermione began.

"Yes," Molly said, wanting to know more.

"Well, when we got there, Mr. Weasley began talking to us, and, well, we found out something that was very surprising and upsetting," Hermione said nervously.

"Well, he's okay, isn't he?" Molly asked.

"He's fine," Hermione answered, "Its just, that, well, you aren't the only one who's found someone else. Mr. Weasley informed us that he met someone at the Ministry, and, that they are together."

"Oh," Molly gasped in unbelief.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Dad, he's got a girlfriend," Ron replied.

"Well, that's certainly some news, isn't it?" Molly said calmly.

"You can say that again," Geoge said.

"Well, children, I'm sure you would like to discuss this further, but, your brothers and sister will be here soon, so, we should get dinner ready and the table set," Molly said, getting up, "There is a lasagna already made in the fridge, it just needs to be put in the oven."

"I'll take care of that, Molly," Hermione said.

"Thank you, dear," Molly replied.

"Mum, I thought they were all coming at 3," Ron said

"Yes, dear, they were supposed to be here at 3, but, I owled them when you children left and told them not to be here until 6 or 7. I'd imagine they'll be arriving at any moment,"

"Oh, okay, then," Ron answered.

Harry and George set the table while Molly, Ron, and Hermione finished up some last minute things with the meal. "So, what news should they hear first, Mum? About you and Harry, or about Dad?" George asked.

"Well, since we initially invited them to tell them about Harry and I, that's what we'll tell them first," Molly answered.

"Oh, alright then," George replied.

"Mum! I'm here!" Bill yelled as he made his way into the kitchen!

"Bill, dear, so great to see you," Molly said as she rushed to him to give him a hug, "Where's Fleur?"

"Well, she and the family are off visiting her sister right now, but she'll be back in a few days," Bill answered. He made his way around the room, sharing hellos and hugs with everyone.

"Is that Bill I hear in there?" A voice called from the living room.

"It sure is, sis," Bill answered as he made his way back across the kitchen to greet Ginny. "How've you been, sis?"

"Oh, alright I guess," Ginny answered, "Been busy studying, but its nice to have the weekend off."

"Yes, I remember those days," Ron said as he gave his sister a hug.

"Please, Ronald. You never studied a day in your life while we were at school," Hermione said to Ron as he parted from Ginny and laughed. Just then, Ginny caught a glimpse of Harry.

"Harry, how've you been?" Ginny anxiously asked.

"Oh, alright," Harry said, offering to shake Ginny's hand. Ginny looked down, confused by the gesture, but shook his hand and she too made her way around the room, saying hello.

"Who's still missing?" Molly asked, looking around the room.

"Charile," George answered.

"Ah, yes," Molly replied, "Any word on Percy?"

"He's really busy at work, Mum," Bill said, "And he said he told me to tell you he's really sorry he can't make it."

"Oh, well, then, just Charlie," Molly sighed.

"Someone mention my name?" Charlie asked as he walked into the room.

"Charlie," Molly exclaimed, "How are you, dear?"

"Just fine, Mum," Charlie said, making his way to Molly and capturing her in a warm embrace. "Hi, everyone," Charlie said, looking around the room, "What've I missed?"

"Oh, nothing, dear," Molly said, "In fact, we were just waiting for you to begin dinner. Why doesn't everyone grab a seat." Everyone took a seat around the table and began eating their meal. They caught up on each other's lives, and Hermione and Ron announced their engagement to everyone, and they were all estatic. Harry and Molly went along with the converstation as if they hadn't any news to tell the children sitting at the table. After dinner, Hermione and Ginny helped Molly wash up, and then they all met around the table for a cup of tea.

"Children, there is something I would like to tell all of you," Molly said as she sat down next to Harry.

"What is it, Mum?" Bill asked, worried.

"Well, dear," Molly began, "Your father and I are getting a divorce."

"What?" Charlie asked.

"But, Mum," Bill gasped.

"Mum?" Ginny asked, tears in her eyes.

"Yes, well, there's more," Molly said, taking a deep breath, "Harry and I are together, and we are going he has asked me to marry him. I've said yes."

The table fell silent as all of the children looked to Molly and Harry in disbelief. "Mum, this is crazy," Bill said from across the table, "Harry isn't even as old as I am. You realize how crazy it sounds, you marrying someone younger than your own children?"

"Bill, I realize its crazy, but, Harry and I love each other," Molly answered.

"How could you?" Ginny yelled, rising from her chair, "How could you? Mum, you know Harry and I, we...and you! How could you?" Ginny said, looking at Harry.

"Ginny, please, dear, calm down," Molly said, looking up at Ginny.

"Calm down! Calm down! You're telling me to calm down?" Ginny asked, furious.

"Please, Ginny, just sit down. There's something more we have to tell all of you," Molly said calmly.

"What more could you possibly have to tell us?" Charlie asked.

"Well, George, maybe you could tell them?" Molly asked, looking at George.

George shook his head and looked around at his brothers and sister who lined the table. "Well, Ron, Hermione, and I went to the Ministry this afternoon to see Dad. Well, when we got there, we got some news we weren't really expecting. You see, Mum, well, she isn't the only one who's already found someone else. Dad has a girlfriend, she works at the Ministry."

"You've got to be joking," Bill said, staring at George.

"I wish I were," George answered, "But, its true."

"Oh, God," Charlie sighed, "What is happening?"

"I was asking myself the same thing," Bill replied.

"And you three, you already knew about all of this?" Charlie asked.

"Well, Mum told us yesterday," Ron answered, looking to Hermione for help.

"We were just as shocked as you are," Hermione said, "But we grew to accept it."

"How could you possibly accept this? Its bloody insane!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Ginny, I'm so sorry," Molly said, reaching across the table to take her daughter's hand. Ginny pulled away, and looked at her mother with disgust.

"Please, Mum," Ginny said, standing up. "I'm sorry, but I have to go. I need to clear my head. I'm heading back to Hogwarts. It was nice seeing you all," Ginny said, looking to everyone except Harry and Molly, and she apparated out of the Burrow kitchen.

"Well, she took that well," George joked.

"George," Molly began to scold, but just couldn't bring herself to be mad at him.

"Mum, I think I'm going to have to agree with Ginny," Charlie said, "Plus, I've got loads of work to do tomorrow, and I really should be getting back. Ron, Hermione, Mum, Harry, congratulations. Mum, I'll owl you tomorrow." Charlie smiled at everyone around the room and suddenly apparated out of the kitchen.

"Well, Bill," Molly said, looking sadly to him, surprised he was still there "Aren't you going to leave, too?"

"Well, Mum, listen. I don't really know how to understand any of this. Its goning to be strange, you and Dad not being together anymore. And its going to be really strange having Harry as a step-father," Bill said calmly to his mother, "But, I love you, very much. Everyone just needs some time to process the news is all. Its quite a shock to all of us, especially Ginny. Does Percy know yet?"

"No. I was going to tell him tonight, but," Molly said.

"Well, I'll owl him tomorrow and tell him, if that's alright with you. I'll tell him about Dad as well," Bill offered.

"Oh, Bill, thank you so much, dear," Molly said, smiling.

"Yes, thank you, Bill," Harry finally said.

"Harry, you've been so quite," Bill said, "I forgot you were here."

"Yes, well, its been quite hard to get a word in," Harry laughed.

"Sorry about that," George joked from across the table.

"Its quite alright," Harry said.

"Well, Mum, I hate to do this, but, I too have to be at work early tomorrow morning, and I should be getting home," Bill said. He walked over to Molly and kissed her lightly on the cheek. "If you need anything, just owl. Fleur and I will stop by sometime soon to visit. Bye," Bill said. He walked to the fireplace in the living room and Flooed back home.

"Well," Harry said.

"Yes," Molly replied, "It was quite something."

"Sure was," Ron said.

"Um, Ronald," Hermione interrupted, "How about you, George, and I go up and play a game of Wizard's chess. Well, you and George can play, and I'll be the judge. Lord know's you two can never play without fighting with one another."

Ron looked curiously at Hermione, but he soon realized her intentions. "Sure, Hermione. George?"

"I'm already there," George said as he hopped out of his chair and ran across the kitchen. "Night, Mum. Night, Harry," he shouted as he ran up the stairs.

"Night," Hermione laughed, rolling her eyes.

"Night," Ron said quitely.

"Good night, children," Molly yelled, making sure George could hear her. He took Harry's hand in hers and looked over at him. He looked blank and lifeless, and Molly was worried. "Harry, are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine. Just a little, shocked, that's all," Harry replied.

"She'll cope, dear," Molly said, leaning into him, "It'll just take some time."

"Yes, well, I suppose we should be up to bed, too, then?" Harry asked.

"Yes, dear, excellent idea," Molly answered. She got up, took Harry's arm, and the two of them walked up to her bedroom. Harry lay in bed and fell quickly asleep while Molly was changing. She stared at him from across the room, thinking about how wonderful he had been to her. He stood by her side when she had to tell her children terrible news, and he never lost his cool. He stayed calm and collected, and she knew he did it just for her. Molly knew that Harry was frieghtened insided, but didn't show it. He kept strong for her, just as he always had. He kept strong for everyone, all the time. Molly knew she was lucky to have Harry, and she smiled softly as he slept in bed, lost in his dreams. She quietly made her way into bed and lay down next to the man she loved, watching him dream until she too fell asleep.
