He then walked out the front door and locked it after Ron had come out.
He then led them out to the paddock where Tony and his two cousins Franco and Joro were stood smoking cigars. They were leaned against three black jeeps, the smoke surrounding them as they talked.
"Erhm!" coughed Arthur as the boys watched.
"Oh hey there, Arthur. You ready to go?" asked Tony throwing his cigar stump to the floor and squashing it to ashes with the heel of his shoe.
"Yeah sure. Franco, you take Bill, Charlie and Percy. Joro, you take Fred, George and Ron and I'll go with Tony," said Arthur.
"OK what ever." sighed Joro ushering Fred, George and Ron into the back of the jeep.
Arthur scowled at him before climbing into the passenger seat of Tony's Jeep.
Bill, Charlie and Percy all climbed into the back of Franco's jeep and waited in silence.
Tony led the way.
"So Tony whose supposed to be at the meeting?" asked Arthur getting out his pipe.
"Oh you know, the rest of the family, the Gryffindor Gang, the Ravenclaw Rains and the Hufflepuffs Hells." said Tony as he drove down the road that led through the village.
"Oh well. I just hope Tommy boot and Amos Diggory don't end up in a fight like last time," sighed Arthur puffing on his pipe.
"Hey that was funny. It took the whole of their familles to calm them down," laughed Tony.
Arthur rolled his eyes and turned up the radio.
Soon they arrived at a pub in the middle of nowhere, people were appearing out of thin air and walking into the pub.
Tony stopped in the car park and he and Arthur got out.
The boys got out the other cars and they stood waiting for instructions.
Jaro had lit another cigarette and puffed it.
Arthur nodded his head towards the pub and the group walked over to the building.
When they entered there was the overpowering smell of alcohol and the atmosphere was misty due to all the cigars, ciggerettes and pipes being smoked. Tony ushered Arthur and his sons to an offie in the back of the pub.
Tony, jaro and Franco then left Arthur to explain to his sons.
Arthur sat down at the desk and drew up chairs for each son.
"Here take a seat," said Arthur pointing to the crowd of chairs.
The chairs were divided and the boys sat in a semicircle around the desk.
"So guys what do you think?" asked Arthur getting out his pipe.
"Er, it's interesting." lied Ron.
Percy, George, Bill and Charlie all nodded in agreement.
"What exactly do you do?" asked Fred.
Arthur chuckled.
"I knew at least one of you would ask that. And I guess it's time I told you." sighed Arthur stuffing tobacco into his pipe.
The boys sat patiently.
"I'm a mafia boss," said Arthur.
"Since when?" asked Bill.
"Well before you were born Bill I was the heir to the Flaming mafia. Your grandfather thought Tony was too dumb. I took over for him after he was put in a home along with my mother. When I met your mother she didn't know what she was in for at first. The amount of times I had to cover my tracks so she wouldn't know.
But when we got married I told her everything. She was shocked of course but she got involved. When Bill was born, your mother forbid me to tell you till you were old enough to know what you were getting involved in. same with the rest of you. But with Ginny it was different your mother didn't want her involved at all." sighed Arthur.
" Why not?" asked Charlie.
Arthur puffed his pipe thoughtfully before he responded.
"She thought Ginny would get hurt. Or that Ginny would want to join one of my clubs. So I agreed to her wishes," said Arthur.
"So does she know your telling us?" asked Percy indignantly.
Arthur's hazel eyes looked down at the desk.
"No. She doesn't know I'm telling you," sighed Arthur.
"Cooool!" grinned Fred and George.
Percy rolled his eyes behind his glasses.
"Now calm down. I'm going to introduce you to the family and gang now. Remember now funny comments, no tricks and no insults!" said Arthur getting up from his chair and looking daggers at the twins.
The six boys all stood up and followed their father back out the office and into the crowded pub.
The three corners of the pub where filled with different families each in a different coloured suit.
Arthur made his way over to where Tony, Jaro and Franco were socialising with some people in black suits with red flames swaying on the jacket pockets.
"Hey people." said Arthur.
"Hey Arthur." yelled the gang as the guys rushed over to hug him.
"I'd like to introduce you all to my boys." said Arthur after everyone had settled down, "This is Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred no that's George and that's Fred, and Ron."
"Guys this is the family." said Arthur to his sons.
"This is your uncle Tony, Uncle Jaro, and aunt Lolo and your two cousins Gaia and Tino. That's your Great uncle Tobias and uncle Franco and his girlfriend Melanite and lastly uncle Frankie and his Fiancée Renege." introduced Arthur.
The boys smiled nervously.
He then led them out to the paddock where Tony and his two cousins Franco and Joro were stood smoking cigars. They were leaned against three black jeeps, the smoke surrounding them as they talked.
