This is an almost indirect parody of Fiddler on the Roof. It only really focuses on the love stories of Tevye and Golde, Motel and Tzeital, Hodel and Perchik and Chava and Fyedka but I think that is enough. There is also some slight changes and role reversal to make it fit within JKR wonderful series.

The main cast is as follows:

Tevye: Arthur Weasley / Molly

Golde: Molly / Arthur

Tzeital: Percy

Hodel: George

Chava: Fred

Motel: Penelope

Perchik: Katie

Fyedka: Angelina

Shprintze and Bielke: Ron and Ginny

Yente: Rita Skeeter (I know, I know but just think about all the rumours she spread in Goblet of Fire!)

Lazar Wolf: the Spinnets

Grandma Tzeitel: Charlie

1.1 Fruma-Sarah: Oliver



Arthur Weasley sat at the scrubbed dining room table, exhausted after a hard days work in the ministry. Molly was making a welcome-home dinner for the kids who were all unpacking (rather noisily) upstairs. It was the twins' last homecoming for if Molly had her way now they had left school they would never leave home again. There were dark times coming and if truth be told he would have preferred if they hadn't had come home that summer at all but had remained under Albus Dumbledore's watchful eye.

"Ron! Ginny!" Molly's shrill voice cut through the air. "Come lay the table for dinner!" He smiled pensively, would his children ever know peace? He hoped so. "Arthur, oh Arthur. I can't believe it. Our Percy!"

Molly was holding the Evening Prophet in her hands. Its front headline read WEASLEY TO WED? Along with the article was a photo spanning half the size of the front page of.of Alicia Spinnet and Percy!

"Oh, I knew it. She's rich and a pure blood and everything. Oh Alicia's perfect. I remember Brenda Spinnet saying something about Alicia having a crush on one of our boys last Christmas but Percy. and now they're getting married without even saying a thing to us about it! Oh now we can't confront Percy about until he wants to tell us but tomorrow we'll have to meet with the Spinnets and discuss wedding plans."

Ron and Ginny Weasley came running up the stairs, they had stolen their parents' copy of the Prophet having noticed the article about Percy, realising what perfect blackmailing it would be. If Penelope ever found out, well they wouldn't like to be in Percy's shoes.

"She's coming over tonight isn't she!" Ginny smirked just outside Percy's bedroom door.

"Yeah she is." A voice from inside the room said none-to-cheerily. They entered to find Percy, oddly enough being comforted by the twins, already gazing blankly at a copy of the paper. "Probably knows already. It's not true you know."

"Perce of course it's not true. It's just Skeeter sticking in her nose where its not wanted. You know what with us being the children of a very high profile ministry employee as mum keeps reminding us." Fred tried reassuringly.

"You know what mum's like - she wants any girl we're going to marry or even go out with to be dowdy, boring, "a pure blood would be nice but it's really not important but it would be really lovely if she was well off too." Dad doesn't mind just as long as she's eccentric as him about muggles and whatnot." Said George wisely

"Personally I don't care as long as she's the six foot gorgeous model type!"

Percy shook his head and tried to suppress a laugh. "All I want is Penelope but mother's had her heart set on Alicia since maybe we were toddlers or something.hey since when have you two wanted girls?"

"Hey we've had our fair share of hormones too." George admonished. "We'll we'd better get down to dinner, I've got a feeling mum will skin us alive if we don't hurry up. Anyway no girl's perfect for everyone so don't worry Perce. Mum'll come 'round to Penny someday - maybe when you're fifty and have ten kids!"

There was sudden rushing noise on the stairs behind Percy, turning swiftly around he saw a beautiful girl in moss green robes looking at him, "Penny! Oh Penny I'm sorry. Its just Skeeter stirring trouble." He flung himself around her, kissing her.

"Shhhh Perce I know it's lies. Be quiet a minute and listen. Percy, sweetie if I know you're mother and after five years I think I do then she'll be all excited about 'you and Alicia'. We'll have to tell them soon, after dinner you have to tell your dad. I love you, you know?"

"I love you too."

"Then hurry up for dinner and don't think about it too much you'll be fine!"

They headed down to the cramped kitchen were upon their arrival Molly beamed broadly at her son before even acknowledging Penelope's presence. "Oh, another one for dinner. Hello Penelope dear, grab a plate from the cupboard there and another knife and fork. That's it dear."

The kitchen was even more cramped than Percy had reckoned upon. This lack of space seemed due to, at least in part to another guest who seemed more than a little interested in George. Dinner itself was a noisy but delicious affair and at the end Arthur deemed it wise to introduce his guest.

"Molly, boys, Ginny, Penelope this is Katie Bell a trainee ministry employee from Scotland. Twins, I think you might remember her from school? Anyway these are all mine except our Penelope there. Katie will be staying with us for a while until she gets a place of her own near by."

Katie smiled, "I'm going to be the new regional sports development representative when Mildred Briggsbottom retires in a few years."

After a few more minutes of talk Percy realised that his mother had decided that Katie and George had gotten close enough for one night and dinner should draw to a close. Penny smiled at him from across the dinner table as she prepared to apparate. This was enough of a reminder of what he was about to do, quickly he looked up and sent a heartening smile at the thin air were she had stood only seconds before. "Umm father can I have a word outside? It won't take to long."

They walked through in to the next room, Molly smiling to herself as she watched them leave. Arthur turned to his son and put a comforting hand on his shoulder, "What ever it is you can tell me. I'm not you're mother I don't judge, well too much at any rate."

"Dad's about Penny and me.we umm.we.we think it's great what you're doing for Katie." He felt awful, what would Penny think about him not even being able to tell his own father something. It was just.he didn't even know himself what it was. Tomorrow he'd do it. He had to before it was too late for them.



A/N: This has been really had to write so far but very enjoyable. It's brought all my memories back from doing Fiddler. I am the same peann as the other author just my account's frozen or something and if you are wondering I will finish CMHW sometime soon I promise. I've just been really busy with coursework and school stuff (I hate Art and Design coursework sooooo much). Yah-dah-yah-dah-yah. Please review, pretty please (. I you do I'll love you forever (but not flames). This is dedicated to all my friends who I did FotR with.
