Chapter 37: Mission and A Burrow's Christmas
Harry and Ron appeared via the Floo Network in the Ministry for Magic. They quickly rushed to the 2nd floor where Moore and Millburgh were waiting impatiently. Something that Harry and Ron hadn't seen before.
"Where have the two of you been! I sent that blasted patronus ages ago!" said Millburgh furiously.
"We got here as quickly as we could sir" said Ron.
"Enough of that. We will be going to York, Neville, Seamus, Auror Traverson, and Auror Grayson are already there. Let's go!" and the disapparated.
When they reapparated, Millburgh questioned, "Traverson, Grayson, any new developments?"
"Yes, sir, we discovered that death eaters have been entering that small manor beyond, over there. They have been coming and going. They could be bringing weapons in with a reducio charm."
"Yes, we are going to have to go in a few hours. They are planning on attacking at nighttime when most of everybody will be sleeping." said Moore and Millburgh nodded in agreement.
When nighttime came, the aurors went down the hill cautiously, hiding behind smaller moors and then made it as close as possible to the small manor. When one of the death eaters left the manor, Harry quickly reacted and said, "INCARCEROUS" and the death eater fell on the ground all bound up. Millburgh looked at Harry in shock, "Well done Potter" he then turned to Moore, "Apparate him to Azkaban and return as soon as possible" and Moore nodded.
The now 7 aurors waited to see if anymore death eaters would come in or out of the manor. Sure enought two more death eaters walked out and then looked at each other and then took out their wands, "EXPELLIARMUS" said Grayson and Ron.
Their wands went flying off and then Traverson shouted at them "INCARCEROUS" and then took their wands. Moore was back and then he took the other two death eaters. Very cautiously the 7 aurors entered through the opened door. Somebody obviously was living in the manor. There were signs of life.
Millburgh signaled that he would stay there and signald Traverson, Neville, and Seamus to go in one direction and then signaled Grayson, Harry and Ron to go in the other.
Grayson Harry and Ron walked down the short corridor and heard two voices talk.
"Yes, the Dark Lord definitely had good intentions of cleaning our world, a perfect world as it should be" said the first voice.
"It is a shame that the Lord Voldemort passed away before he could finish his deed" said the second voice.
"What are the two of you doing here doing nothing! Get going! We attack in a couple of hours!" at these words Harry and Ron nodded at each other. Cautiously from the door frame the two of them shouted "EXPELLIARMUS" and Grayson shouted "INCARCEROUS". Unfortunately, the three men succeeded in putting up a protection charm around them before the spells could hit them. Next thing the three aurors knew, there were streaks of light going back and forth.
Suddenly the three men disappeared and then there were more streaks of light coming from their direction.
"Blast, they have used the invisibility charm." said Grayson.
"How on earth do we know where to point at now?" said Ron while he tried to think of something.
Harry then thought of something. He thought he would never have to use it but he took out his father's old invisibility cloak and put it over himself and walked into the room cautiously without making a sound. Ron looked at him quickly and then mouthed to Grayson, "What on earth is he doing?" and Grayson only shook his head in stupor.
Harry found a column and hid behind it and took off the cloak and put it under his robes. Giving him the advantage of being behind the attackers. Remembering where one of them stood, and pointed his wand, "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" and he heard a thud fall to the ground and the death eater reappeared again. Suddenly there were streaks of lightnight coming towards Harry and Ron and Grayson moved in cautiously and now there were streaks of light flying all over the room as glass and crystal fell crashing to the ground.
The other death eaters who were in another part of the manor, heard the crashing noises and came in rushing into the room. Suddenly a streak of lightning sent Ron flying across the room and he was knocked unconscious.
"Ron! No!" screamed Harry and he came back with a vengeance as he started to cast spells with his wand and hand. Within moments a couple of more death eaters dropped to the ground and their invisibilty charm disappeared. Suddenly there were no more streaks of light and all 8 aurors stood in the room cautiously and still keeping cover. Seaumus came out cautiously and he too got struck with a streak of light and got thrown across the room. Harry pointed his wand in the direction where the streak of light came and said, "LEVICORPUS" and another death eater reappeared.
"How many death eaters are in here?" asked Harry to Neville who was not that far away from him.
"I don't know Harry. It's hard to tell with that invisibility charm.
"FINITE INCANTATUM" shouted Neville.
Suddenly two death eaters reappeared before their eyes. One of them looked very familiar but Harry couldn't quite put a name to him. Suddenly they disapparated.
"What just happened?" asked Traverson cautiously getting out from behind his hiding place.
"I heard the popping sound. Who knows where they apparated to" said Moore looking around with his wand ready in his hand.
Suddenly the 4 of them heard another patronus from another auror:
Andrew, Geoff, we just saw two death eaters appear here in Godric's Hollow. Come quick!
"Neville, why don't you levitate and take both Ron and Seamus and take them to St. Mungo's" said Moore.
"Yes sir" said Neville.
Millburgh, Moore, and Harry reapparated in Godric's Hollow and met with the other two aurors.
"We did a wise decision in putting aurors here on watch. Mattison, Yardley, in what direction did the death eaters go? We just saw two of them disapparate from a small manor in York."
"In that direction sir" said Yardley as he pointed in the direction.
"Let's split up again, Potter, you go with Mattison and Yardley. I'll go with Mattison" and they all nodded in agreement.
"Moore, back there at the manor, I thought one of the death eaters looked familiar." said Harry.
"Yeah, who did he look like?" asked Moore.
"He looked like a student that I went to Hogwarts with" answered Harry.
"Well, hopefully you can get a better look so we can identify him and send him to Azkaban" said Moore as he walked around cautiously.
"Yes sir" said Harry.
Then there was a sudden streak of light and missed Harry by a few inches. There were streaks of light flashing across again with spells and defensive spells. Just as the streaks started, they stopped. It had been hours since they saw streaks of light.
"We are going to have to set up some more aurors here and several near that manor" said Moore and that is just what he sent in a patronus to Millburgh.
"As soon as the other aurors come, we can go" said Moore and they waited there as the cold made them shiver and the snowflakes started to fall.
Harry looked up at the sky. It was really late by now and the snow reminded him of the snow at Hogwarts when he was in his first year at Hogwarts. He had Hedwig back then on his wrist. He then got the memory of him and Ginny in the snow not long ago in the snow at the quidditch pitch at Hogwarts. Suddenly, 6 aurors reapparated and Moore, Harry, and Yardley disapparated at the Ministry for Magic. There they saw Millburgh and Mattison.
"Job well done. Those blasted death eaters are going to eventually find their end. Please be on alert for when i send you a patronus again, should I need you" said Millburgh and they nodded in agreement.
Harry reapparated at the burrow. It was dark and the one lamp was the only one on. Everybody else was asleep and he noticed that they didn't know that Ron was at St. Mungo's. It was definitely going to be a shock for Hermione.
Harry was too tired but he knew he had to at least go up and tell Arthur and Molly about Ron. He quietly made his way up the stairs and knocked on their door. They didn't hear him the first time so he knocked again. Finally he heard the shuffling of some feet beyond the door and saw Arthur come to the door.
"What is it Harry? Is anything wrong? What time is it?" asked Arthur trying to rub the sleep from his eyes.
"It's 2:30 in the morning Mr. Weasley. It's Ron, he's been hurt on the mission tonight. He's at St. Mungo's." said Harry with a long face.
"What did you just say? Did you just say that Ron is at St. Mungo's?" asked Arthur, now with his eyes wide open.
"Yes Mr. Weasley, that's right" and Harry bend his head down with a frown.
"What is it Arthur? What's wrong with Ron?" asked Molly as she came to his side and looked up at him.
"It's Ron love, he's at St. Mungo's" responded Arthur with a frown.
"Oh no, but that can't be" said Molly now with a worried face.
"Let's go love. You stay here with everyone and protect them Harry. Who knows if whatever is out there now comes after us" said Arthur and Harry nodded. He slowly made his way back to his room and from there, with his auror robes and all, he apparated himself to Ginny's room. He slowly walked over to her bed and lay down next her and put his arms around her.
"Harry? Is that you?" said Ginny with a sleepy voice.
"Yes, it's me Gin. You go back to sleep love. You will need your energy in the morning" said Harry and he held Ginny closer to him. She put her hand over his and the two of them went to sleep.
Harry didn't know for how long he had been asleep until he heard the door to Ginny's door slam shut and suddenly he heard Ginny cry. Harry didn't even know when Ginny got up.
"Gin, what's the matter?" Harry was so out of it that it took him a minute to realize what Ginny had found out.
"Oh Harry. First George and now Ron. How much longer must this go on?" and Ginny sat down at the edge of the bed, put her face in her hands and started to cry softly.
"Oh Gin, you heard. I'm so sorry. I came in late last night and your mum and dad went to St. Mungo's to stay with Ron. I imagine Hermione is with them." said Harry as he took Ginny in his arms.
"She is, she was so distraught that mum went to get her parents. They took her back to their house to comfort her. She is feeling so awful that the healers gave her calming draughts and sleeping potions." and Ginny finally hugged Harry and put her face in his chest.
"I thought this was going to be a peaceful Christmas with Charlie and Portia being home and all" said Harry staring into blank space. He knew that he had a job as an auror to protect the wizarding community but he was tired of seeing the work of the followers of Lord Voldemort. They brought nothing but suffering, just because they didn't accept the fact that everyone would live happily and together. After a long time, he wanted to live a normal life again. He was thankful though that Lord Voldemort was dead.
"When will this be over Harry? You're an auror, you should know" asked Ginny as she continued to cry softly in his chest.
"Yes, I'm an auror Gin, but unfortunately, I don't know when it will be over. All we can do is live everyday the best we can and hope that it will be over soon." answered Harry as he stroked Ginny's back to comfort her.
After what seemed a long time, Ginny pulled back and Harry wiped her tears with his auror robes.
"Well, despite all these awful things going on, you do look quite handsome in your auror robes and your chest is rather firm" said Ginny with a small smile through her tear-strained face.
Harry smiled back down at her, "Thanks Gin, I try to stay handsome so I can have all the girls flock after me" he laughed and Ginny playfully smacked his chest.
"You are as always incorrigible Harry James Potter" said Ginny and she leaned up to kiss him.
They pulled away after kissing for a few minutes and Harry spoke, "Gin, why don't we go visit Ron at St. Mungo's?"
"Alright, let's go" said Ginny. She put on her velvet cape on and they disapparated to St. Mungo's.
"Yes, May I help you?" asked a witch at the reception.
"We are here to see Mr. Ronald Weasley. We was admitted earlier today. This is his sister Ginevra Weasley and I'm her fiancé, Harry Potter" said Harry as he held Ginny closely in his arms.
"Ah yes, he is up on the third floor. Dormitory number 345" said the receptionist with a smile.
They nodded and went up the lift to the third floor. When they arrived to Ron's room, he was still out unconscious on the bed as Arthur and Molly looked on. They had never left his side and they had dark circles under their eyes. They noticed that Harry and Ginny walked in.
"Hello Harry dear. I hope you were able to get some sleep" said Molly as she looked back at Ron and took his lifeless hand.
"I did, thank you Mrs. Weasley." said Harry as he walked over to Ron's bedside with Ginny.
"Ron, you are a complete git, but please don't go away. We already lost George, we can't bare to lose you too" said Ginny and she turned around to cry gently into Harry's chest again. He put his arms around her and gently rubbed her back to soothe her.
After a few minutes, Hermione walked back in with her parents. She let loose from her parents and ran to Ron's bedside and took his hand. Hermione sat down and put her head on his hand and her tears began to slide down her tear-strained face once more. Mrs. Granger went to her side and put her arms around her daughter.
"Don't worry dear. He'll be fine. He looks like a strong young man. Before you know it, you and Ron will be together again" said Mrs. Granger.
"Your mum is right sweetheart. You're lucky that the healers were able to help him" said Mr. Granger.
"Please Ron, wake up love. I need you. I can't live with you like this. My life is meaningless without you. Ron, please, wake up for me... I love you" said Hermione and she lay her head on his hand again. She stood there for the longest time until she fell asleep.
"I suppose the right thing to do is to let her wait here. What do you think sweetheart?" said Mrs. Granger.
"I think it will have to do. Our poor Hermione has been through a lot. Besides, she seems to be at peace with herself, here next to Ron" he said looking down at her. He could see the worry in his wife's eyes for their daughter.
"Come on, I'll take you" said Arthur and he guided them out of St. Mungo's before heading back to Ron's room.
A healer came into the room a few minutes later and Hermione pulled back to see the healer wave his wand over Ron's lifeless body. Everybody waited to see what the healer would say this time.
"Well, Healer Atkins, how is Ron?" asked Hermione with imploring eyes.
"Not much change. His body has already healed properly. The only thing is that he is still unconscious and there is no way of telling when he'll wake up again." said the healer and then walked out of the room.
"Please Ron, please wake up. I need you with me for Christmas. I don't want to be alone. I need to feel your arms around me. I need to feel your kisses. Please don't leave me alone Ron. Please wake up... I love you Ron. I love you with all my heart and nothing will ever change that" said Hermione and suddenly she saw Ron's hand move. "Ron? Can you hear me?" and then Ron weakly squeezed Hermione's hand and then he fluttered his eyes open.
"Oh Ron, please wake up my boy. We all love you" said Molly as her voice wavered.
"Her- Hermione? Is that you love?" said Ron with a weak voice.
"Yes Ron. It's me" and tears started to roll down Hermione's cheeks again.
"Ron! You're awake!" said Ginny and she went to sit on the bed next to Hermione.
"Are you feeling alright love?" asked Hermione and he nodded up at her. Hermione then leaned down close to his lips. She looked deeply into his eyes with all the love she had for him and then she kissed him gently on the lips.
"Mmm, I knew there was a good reason for wanting to wake up. Mum, can I have bacon and eggs in bed? I'm starving" said Ron and everybody laughed. "What? I'm really hungry"
A few days later, Ron was released from St. Mungo's hospital and he went back home to the burrow. He was to be on bed rest for a week to recover his strength. During the whole time, Hermione took him his meals to bed and helped him get out of bed and walk around bit and then when he felt tired, she would help him sit down. When Ron was tired, Hermione would lay down on the bed next to him and watch him sleep. She would caress his cheek and slide her fingers through his red hair while he slept.
"How's he doing?" asked Ginny as she walked in and saw that Hermione was reading a book that he had bought for her that Summer in Diagon Alley.
"He's doing much better. The healer said that after two weaks of complete rest, he could go back to work at the Ministry." answered Hermione as she looked up from her book to look from Ginny to Ron.
"Harry says that the Auror Department is not the same without him. In fact, he admitted to me that it has been a little depressing for him without having Ron around him. Who would of thought that they would of become such close friends" said Ginny now looking back at her brother.
"Well, they practically became like brothers on all those adventures we went on while we were studying at Hogwarts. They were always looking out for each other. There were times when sometimes I felt like the third wheel but we were happy, the three of us no matter what danger we were in. I think that is one of the reasons they signed on as aurors together. They knew what they were getting themselves into and they knew that they could do it together and that they could trust the other. Funny, I always thought of them as my boys" said Hermione and she chuckled.
Ginny smiled back at Hermione, "I noticed how the three of you were very close way long before Harry and I hit it off. You were always together wherever the three of you went. I have to admit that there were times where I even felt a little jealous."
"Yes, and now can't you believe it that we are going to marry those little boys that are now full grown young men who have become very successful aurors?" said Hermione as she went to take Ron's hand in her own.
"And I feel very lucky that you are marrying me love" suddenly said Ron as he opened his eyes and smiled up at Hermoine.
"Ron! You terrible bloke you!" and she gently slapped his hand.
"Uh oh, you better look out Hermione, he's coming back to his old self" commented Ginny.
"What's going on in here? Gin, you are supposed to be letting your brother rest love. I promise you, with the healer's order of bed rest, he's not going anywhere" said Harry as he walked in through the door and put his arms around Ginny.
"It's okay Harry, Ron is doing much better and he looks much stronger. You better enjoy the time while you have Ron away from the office because in a couple of weeks all he is going to be reminding you is of going down to the café to eat" said Hermoine and she giggled.
"You're right Hermione, that explains why things have been a lot better these days at the Auror Department" said Harry jokingly and Ginny gave him a friendly slap on his arm.
"Harry James Potter, is that the way to talk about your best friend here? You are soooo incorrigible!" said Ginny and she rolled her eyes.
Three weeks later it was two days until Christmas and everyone was happy talking in the sitting room, and Harry and Ron were at it again with another game of wizard's chess. Ginny, Hermione and Portia were playing a game of exploding snap. Arthur was busy tinkering in his shed with his muggle contraptions.
"Alright it's late and I recommend that the lot of you get to bed if you want to be bright and awake for tomorrow. Bill, Fleur, Percy, Audrey, George and Angelina are coming tomorrow and they will be spending the night for Christmas." said Molly and they all went to sleep.
Harry woke up and looked out Ginny's window. The snow had started to fall again with big snowflakes. He wanted to go out and play in the snow with her. The last time they had done that, they were at Hogwarts. He looked back down at Ginny. She was still in a deep sleep because he caressed her soft hair and she didn't stir. They had spend a good long time the night before snogging away until they fell asleep. Nothing else happened. They were very tired and feel asleep soon thereafter. He looked down at Ginny sleeping and the light from the window made her look like a winter goddess with red hair. He could never get tired of looking at her. The reservations needed for their wedding were almost completed. In the Spring time, Ginny and Hermione were going to go find their wedding dresses and the bridesmaid dresses. They were taking advantage of the time while Ginny wasn't playing quidditch with the Holyhead Harpies. He remembered how worried he had been the first day she started practice with the Harpies. His worst fears took over him. He thought that she would fall, break an arm or a leg, that she would get hit with a bludger, that she would fall down from her broom and he not be there to protect her. Thankfully, despite the one hit from the bludger during her first game, Ginny had proven to be much stronger than he thought. He also remembered how upset Ginny had become when he never showed up to the potions class that he had promised to go with her. They didn't talk to each other for a long time and Harry had never felt more alone in his life. When it came to making love, she was gentle as a lamb but also a wild and seducing tigress in bed. There was the one time when they were at black manor and she had that corset on. He had never felt his shaft more overworked than ever. He just secretly that she had more in store for him. Just then, he felt her wake up and she looked up at him.
"Enjoying the sight Mr. Potter?" said Ginny with a sleepy smile.
This is exactly what he had been thinking, she could be so seductive, even when she's barely awake, "Yes, and I was thinking how beautiful you are and how lucky I am to have such a beautiful sleepy beauty with me" and he leaned down to kiss her tenderly. A kiss that soon turned into a very passionate one. His hands were already starting to roam all around her back and they were about to go underneath her pajama skirt under the bedsheets when they heard someone clear their throat at door. They both pulled away and sat up quickly.
"Mate, I've said it before and I will say it again, be sure to leave something for the honeymoon" smirked Ron, "and mum says that breakfast is ready" and then he walked out and closed the door.
"I'll tell you something you seducing little tigress you, I sure would love to start the honeymoon a little early" and he lay them down on the bed and he lay on top of her as she wrapped her legs around his back and started rubbing her crevace against his fast growing shaft.
With much hesitation Ginny was the first to pull away, "Harry, I think we better go downstairs before everyone thinks otherwise."
"Oh Gin, that was just cruel! Getting me started with Big Harry down here and now I have you telling me to go get dressed. Oh you sure are going to get it Ms. Weasley for all this teasing" said Harry. He gave her one last kiss and got off the bed to go get dressed.
A few minutes later, the entire Weasley clan was eating breakfast at the table. The tree was so full of gifts that it looked like it was going to explode from all the weight. All six young couples went outside to have a snowball fight. Fleur of course had her limit because she had a big stomach by then. On one of those occassions, Percy accidently hit the kitchen window and Molly gave him a look and Percy bowed his head low. They made snow angels and even did a Snowman contest to see who could build the biggest snowman and the fastest and there was no magic allow. Naturally it came close between Ron and Hermione and Harry and Ginny who had Harry and Hermione as an advantage. Just then, the Grangers arrived in their car at the burrow. Hermoine ran to them and gave them a big hug.
"Mum! Dad! I'm so happy to see you!" and she gave them a hug again.
"We are happy to see you to sweetheart. I'm glad to see that you and Ron and doing so much better" said Mrs. Granger and she put her arms around her daughter as they walked into the burrow. All the other couples followed behind.
"Oh good you are all inside. We are about to eat our Christmas dinner." said Molly as she herded everybody into the dining room.
"Mrs. Weasley, mum and dad just got here now we are all here" said Hermione and Arthur and Molly greeted them.
"Everybody go ahead and sit down and let's eat" said Molly and everybody started to eat.
"Can you believe that another year is ending and a new one beginning?" said Hermione.
"Oh yes and have you realized that by this time next year we are all going to be married and there are going to be two little ones walking around here?" said Arthur smiling at everyone.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door and everyone turned around looked in the direction of the door. Arthur and Molly got up and went to the door. Just outside of the door was Andromeda and a toddler-aged Teddy.
"Andromeda, Teddy, we're so happy the two of you could join us today for Christmas dinner" said Arthur and Molly gave Andromeda and Teddy a hug.
Everyone left the table to go hug and greet Andromeda and Teddy. Naturally Teddy stole everybody's attention and he smiled and laughed.
Harry took little Teddy and sat him on his lap while Ginny looked on. On several occassions Teddy tried to reach reach for Harry's food. Harry gave Teddy a bite of everything that he had wanted to eat.
"bah bah" cooed Teddy as he pointed at the peas on Harry's plate.
"Want some peas Teddy?" Harry grabbed the little spoon that Molly gave him and Teddy opened his mouth awaiting for the peas.
"Oh my gosh! Teddy actually eats peas? asked George.
"Yes, he's been eating peas ever since I smashed them up for him" said Andromeda.
"I'm all grown up and I am not too fond of peas. It has always been a life-long battle with mum and dad while I was growing up. I remember that I used to have to stay at the table for hours while they made me try to eat peas." said George.
"Well, I don't know one day I thought I would give Teddy peas and then he still wanted more after he finished the portion that I had given him. I had to smash some more for him and he was there just happy eating them." Andromeda then turned to Harry, "So be careful Harry, he might eat all your peas."
"I don't mind Andromeda, I love this little bloke." said Harry and then "Look! His hair looks just like mine and you can even see the lightning scar on his forehead!" and Harry smiled.
"Aww, look at him, he's so cute!" revered Hermione.
"Oh my gosh, he looks just like you Harry!" said Ginny and she gently squeezed little Teddy's chin.
When they were all done eating, they went into the sitting room and the all started to open their gifts. Arthur and Molly naturally gave everyone a Jumper with the first letter of their names on the front. Bill and Fleur got teddy bears and toys for their baby as did Charlie and Portia. Percy and Audrey got new robes for their work at the Ministry. George and Angelina get two badges engraved with their names and "Owner" underneath. Harry and Ginny got a jet ski reservation for their honeymoon, Ron and Hermione got a set of books on magical laws. Teddy got a little snitch that rumbled around the room. He was happy crawling behind it the rest of the afternoon. Hermione got a bracelet from her parents. It had been her grandmother's bracelet.
"Shni, shni" screamed Teddy as he kept running behind the rumbling snitch that he got from Harry and Ginny.
"Go for it Teddy catch the snitch" said Harry smiling as he followed his gaze along with Teddy.
"Well, it's getting late and it's time to go so I can put Teddy in bed" said Andromeda.
Harry got up and caught the rumbling snitch and turned it off and picked up Teddy in his arms and Ginny came to his side.
Teddy still looked like Harry with the scar and all and Ginny said, "Well, at least now I have an idea what our kids are going to look like" said Ginny and she leaned up to plant a quick peck on Harry's cheek and then Teddy leaned up to gave Harry a wet kiss on his cheek too.
"Well, it looks like Teddy has grown very fond of you Harry" said Andromeda as she put on her cloak and then grabbed Teddy's and put it on him.
"Do you think we can come visit him? Ginny and I have a little more time now" said Harry as he gave Teddy to Andromeda.
"Of course. I have to do a few errands in Diagon Alley this Friday and then I am going to spend the night at a friend's house that I haven't seen in a long time. If you like you and Ginny can stay with Ron and Hermione to help you as well." and she smiled at Harry and Ginny and took Harry into her own arms.
"Really? That would be great!" said Ginny and she smiled back up at Harry.
"Well, it looks like you can learn what it's like to take care of children as well" said Mrs. Granger.
"I think we are going to have fun aren't we Teddy?" said Harry as he gently squeezed Teddy's chin.
Teddy stretched out his arms at Harry and cooed, "Ha, Ha."
"Say bye bye Teddy" said Andromeda.
"Buh, buh" said Teddy and he folded his fingers up and down as he tried to wave at everyone and then they were out the door.
Everyone stayed behind for a bit and then Bill, Fleur, Percy, Audrey, Charlie, and Angelina then left for their perspective homes. Arthur and Molly were tired and they retired early, leaving the three young couples to their own enterntainment in the sitting room. The six of them drank a few butterbeers before going to bed themselves.
