Molly Weasley bustled around her kitchen, the sun wasn't fully up and all of the other occupants in the house were sleeping so she took the opportunity to get some tasks done.
She didn't sleep well last night, the idea of George retuning for the first time without Fred had her frazzled, so she was taking it upon herself to make it a pleasant trip and not sad.
While she was excited to see her son again, she also worried about him, she was sure he wasn't coping well. Molly made sure to express in her letters to him the importance of coming home and resting and he had finally complied with her wishes, even telling her he had convinced Kagome to come with him.
Kagome, the poor thing, after the falling out with her family years ago she couldn't imagine how she was faring in all of this.
A large crack out in the garden had Molly jumping, two voices talking hushed in the morning light.
"George dear! Good morning, come in you two. Kagome, how are you? Are you eating, you both look skin and bones." Molly fussed.
She ushered both to the table after giving them bone-crushing hugs. "Sit down, no one else is up yet but you can still eat."
Molly waved her wand and a breakfast spread bounced it's way to the table from the stove.
"Thank you for having me." Kagome smiled.
Molly patted her hand across the table, "you're welcome anytime."
"Who all is here?" George asked around a mouthful of egg.
"All of your siblings, and Harry and Hermione and Fleur." Molly said, eyeing both carefully.
Kagome and George shared a look, "sounds like it's going to be a fun time." Kagome stated, both plastering small, forced smiles on their faces at the mention of all of the siblings.
Molly stood and walked around the table, kissing both of their heads, "I'm so happy you both are here."
Molly bustled away wiping her eyes quickly so no one could see the tears that formed, she hoped it wouldn't be this hard.
