Molly and Arthur: LOVE

L is for the way you look at me

O is for the only one I see

V is very very extraordinary

E is even more than anyone that you adore

"How long has it been since we've danced like this, love?" Arthur detoured them around his son and Hermione.

"Oh . . . days . . . much too long." Molly smiled up at him, the same smile that had snagged his heart that very first day at Hogwarts--after she'd dragged him back into the boat from the lake. He'd been leaning over to get a good look at the giant squid, and promptly fallen in.

And look where they were now.

And love is all that I can give to you

love is more than just a game for two

two in love can make it

take my heart and please don't break it

love was made for me and you!

"Dip," Arthur announced, and dipped her.

"Whoop!" She laughed as she came back up. "You know, this really is a very good song."

Arthur nodded. "It's a shame that the Wizarding Wireless Network doesn't play more Muggle music, if you ask me. It's the closest to real magic that they can get, I think."

"Look at them," Molly said wistfully, looking over Arthur's shoulder. "My babies--look how grown-up they are."

Which baby she was looking at, Arthur couldn't tell, but the sentiment was true either way. He'd seen the way Ron looked at Hermione, or Ginny at Harry. It had given him some uncomfortable moments--several, in fact--but after all, hadn't he been younger than they when he'd fixed on Molly?

He squeezed her waist affectionately. "We can always have more if you'd like, dear."

She gave his shoulder a light thump. "Oh, no--these seven have given me enough grief as it is." She kissed his cheek. "Have I ever thanked you for them?"

"During all six labors, you cursed me to the depths of hell," he said dryly. "Does that count?"

"No." She kissed his other cheek. "Thank you, darling. And, dear?"

"Yes?"

"I don't want any more."

And love is all that I can give to you

love is more than just a game for two

two in love can make it

take my heart and please don't break it

Love was made for me and you

He spun her out, then in so he hugged her close for a moment. A third revolution, and they were face-to-face again.

"These are our golden years, Moll," he told her. "Let's enjoy them."

"Golden, Arthur? With You-Know-Who returned and the world in an upheaval?"

"We have our health. We have a home and a living. We have seven living, healthy--"

"--rambunctious--"

"--children. Most importantly," he squeezed her hand, "we have each other, Molly. Let's not forget that."

Her eyes warmed. "I won't if you won't."

love was made for me and you,

love was made for me and you!
