"Oh, I wish I could stay," Sophie hugged Molly one more time before getting on the train, "I want to see the look on your face when. . ." Sophie stopped, glanced at Arthur who was giving her a strange look, and covered her mouth with her hand. "Happy Christmas, both of you," she recovered and ran to the train.

"Bilbo was fighting the spiders with sting," Molly reminded him. "Eww I hate spiders."
