Chapter 34
"Molly?" Why was he waking me so early?
"Yes, love?"
"I can't move." That sounds like a personal problem. I smiled.
"Why darling?" I tried to sit up in bed but I couldn't sit up the whole way. Fred was sprawled on top of me sleeping soundly. I turned to Arthur and saw Percy and George lying on Arthur. Then we heard a thump from the other room. It sounded like it came from Ronald's room. I placed Fred beside Arthur and ran into Ronald's room to see what happened. When I got to Ronald's room he wasn't in his crib. So of course I panicked,
"Arthur!" I screamed so loud that I'm sure everyone was awake by now. I heard Arthur come running and I heard two pairs of feet coming down from their bedrooms above. I didn't know what to do, so I did the only thing I could think of, search for my baby.
"Molly what on earth are you doing? You could have woken Ginny up."
"Arthur, our youngest son isn't in his cot." I was crying by now. But I was covering my face by looking in the nearest closet for my Ronnie. If I was looking at Arthur I would have seen his face pale to the color of snow. I came out of the closet and I was getting closer to hysterics.
"Arthur what are we going to do? What if someone toke him?" Just then Bill and Charlie came in to the nursery.
"What wrong mum? We heard you scream!" Bill said with a concerned face. Arthur answered,
"Boys your mother and I heard a loud noise from nursery and your mother went to check on your brother but when she got here Ron was not in his cot. But we are going to find him don't worry about that. If you would go gather the twins and Percy, they are in the master bedroom, and take them into the living room." The boys left and did what they were told.
"Molly you go get Ginny and sit with the children, I'll go look for Ronald."
"But Arthur what if he's hurt?" Arthur took me into his arms and said,
"Don't worry Mollywobbles I'll find him" and with that he left. I went down the corridor to get Ginny and wait with the other children. When I arrived in the living room I found five boys with worried faces looking up at me. The twins even looked serious and upset. They were both holding on to Percy for dear life, and he was holding back. I smiled remembering our talk we had, but I was more worried about my baby. Where could he be? He certainly couldn't have gotten out of his cot on his own; he was too
small for that. And why would anyone want to hurt or take my baby? He was just an innocent child, that wasn't doing any harm. I was getting more worried by every second. What if someone killed him or what if he was seriously hurt? I would never forgive myself if anything happened to him. Then Arthur came into the house and he was yelling for me over the screams of Ron. I immediately handed Ginny over to a very scared looking Bill and said,
"Watch her for me and keep all the children in here love, I'll be back soon."
I ran into the kitchen to see my baby covered in blood and dirt. I could have fainted right there if it wasn't for Arthur. I immediately scooped my baby up and started to calm him and clean him off. Arthur was talking, telling me where he found Ronald, and if he wouldn't have been talking I'm afraid I would have fainted.
"Molly, love I know he looks bad but you have to stay strong. I found him out in the woods by the big oak tree. He was screaming very loud when I arrived I'm sure that's the only reason I found him. There was no one around and I casted several spells to try to find anyone near him, but there was no one. Can you try and heal him here and make sure nothing is wrong? I don't think we should take him St. Mungo's until, I floo mum. She's the best healer there anyway, she'll know what to do." He left wiping his face with his hands vigorously. As Arthur left Ronnie started to scream louder. He wanted his daddy; this made me start to cry again. I was silently sobbing and trying to sooth Ronnie when Charlie came in the kitchen.
"Mummy, don't cry daddy got Ronnie back."
"Oh, Charlie I know I'm just upset. Why don't we go into the room with the others? How does that sound?"
"Alright Mummy let's go!" I smiled. Charlie was always a rambunctious boy. We all walked into the room and everyone had questions.
"Mummy is Ronnie ok?" George said while holding onto Percy.
"Yes he is fine. Just a little shaken up is all." I tried to comfort everyone. Then I heard the fire place flare up as Arthur's mother came through.
"Where is he Arthur?" she said hurriedly.
"He is in with Molly, mum."
"Is he ok?"
"He's fine mum Molly healed him."
"Arthur I wouldn't take him to St. Mungo's just yet. The world is getting darker and darker by the hour; you never know who is where. I have seen some strange happenings at the hospital lately, and I don't want anyone hurting my grandson further."
I turned my head to see Arthur and his mother embrace. As she let go of him she cupped his face with her hand and said,
"He'll be fine Arthur. I'll double check him and make sure he'll be fine."
"I know but it's not just that. I might not have found him. And if I didn't find him what would happen then, mum? How would we ever be the same?" Arthur was crying now and I was very close to full out sobbing. And then Ronald spoke,
"Momma, my head hurts real bad." He said quietly into my shoulder.
"Alright, love we will fix it." I got up to go into the kitchen but I heard Arthur's mother say something that soothed my heart as well.
"That doesn't matter at the moment, son. The important thing is that you did find him and that he'll be fine. No one questions you as a father, but precautions need to be taken now especially." Arthur nodded and his mother hugged him again. They both entered the kitchen where I was rummaging around for a pain relieving potion. As soon as Arthur's mother came in she immediately took Ronald from me and started to examine him.
"Well he has a concussion, but it's small. Just give him some pain relieving potion Molly and maybe a little sleeping draught as well. In the mean time I think you and Arthur should have the children in all the same room tonight just to be safe. I will go home and bring your father and brothers back so we can put more protective spells around the house. She turned to me, handed Ronald back over to me, kissed my cheek, and went into the other room to say goodbye to the others.
"I don't want that juice mummy it smells really bad."
"Son, you have to take it because it will make your head feel better." Arthur encouraged him. But Ronald was stubborn just like his father. So I handed Ronnie over to his father while I slipped the potion into some milk so that he wouldn't taste it. Arthur and I then went into the living room with the other children. It had been a trying day on all of us and I think all the children wanted to do is be with Arthur and me. Arthur held Ronnie until he fell asleep and I toke Ginny from Bill so she could be fed. She was awake for the whole escapade and she was quiet the whole time. It's funny how much babies can understand with knowing what was going on. Or maybe Bill just kept her happy throughout the thing? I don't know and I really don't care. All I care about is the well fair of my family and keeping them safe through these trying times.
