J.K. Rowling owns these characters I take them out every once in a blue moon so that they might go adventuring. I look forward to the final book in this series as do we all, with a hope for the Wizarding World and a dread as the final battle grows near because some that we have come to love will surely be lost.
Ron and Harry entered the kitchen a few moments later. Hermione followed behind them and she carried her bag on her shoulder. She took it over and placed it with Bill's before she took a seat beside him. She leaned over and kissed him gently on his scarred cheek and whispered good morning. She then extended that good morning to the others with a smile for them all.
Arthur came into the kitchen then dressed in wizards robes. He was going into the Ministry to keep up the pretense of work while learning all he could about the goings on inside it. Bill knew that his father was seeking out those who were loyal to Dumbledore and his cause. He worked furiously now to set into place all the plans that Albus had laid down to them before his untimely death at the hands of Severus Snape.
Fred and George Apperated into the kitchen, and they to sat down at the table. That left Ginny who stumbled into the kitchen about five minutes later she sat down next to Harry. He gathered her close to him and she laid her head against his shoulder as she covered her mouth and yawned.
When all her family was gathered at the table Molly turned from the stove with the food following in her wake. She sat down and used her wand once more to place the food in front of them all. She had cooked all of their favorites. There was enough food to feed an army and that is exactly how Bill thought of them as he watched them attack the food.
They all had there parts to play in the coming battle and he knew that it was unlikely that they would all survive. It broke his heart to think of losing anyone who was gathered here. He knew that when the meal was over there would be a great deal of hugs from Molly and tears as well. Good natured joking would come from the twins who used there sense of the ridiculous to lighten even the darkest of times. Ron would smile he would take his leave from them all in silence, for that was his way. He would try so hard to leave here without bringing further worry to the face of his mother.
Bill dreaded the moment when he left knowing that he would break down. He knew that tears would flow in his eyes as well as his mothers, as he gathered her to him for one more hug to take with him into the dark days that lay ahead. It helped to know that Hermione would walk with him.
Bill then looked at his father who ate his meal and joked with the twins and smiled at his daughter. Bill wondered in that moment if he would see this man again, that scared him more than anything in the world.
Bill knew that his father placed his life in peril every time he walked into the Ministry. There were still a number of Death Eaters that roamed the halls of that place. He was afraid for his father as he was for no other in this room. The others knew what they had to do and while it was not planned for them or mapped out they each had their missions. Arthur however had taken over with the help of Remus Lupin to oversee all that Dumbledore had left behind. Bill had a feeling that Dumbledore could see into the future and he made his plans well in advance for them all. That however left his dad in essence a General in Dumbledore's Army and the Death Eaters were aware of it.
They had already attacked him once with the snake and another time that only Bill knew of as he had been present for the attack. Arthur had made him vow not to tell the others as they were vulnerable enough without this extra bit of knowledge. Bill had asked that his father no longer leave the house alone and he had those close to him stationed near enough if there was trouble again at the Ministry they would be able to assists
. Bill finished his breakfast as the others did as well and when he stood along with Hermione he knew the time had come for goodbyes.
There were hugs as he knew there would be and tears as well. He hugged his father last and begged him to be careful and Arthur asked the same. When He and Hermione Apperated out of the kitchen there were tears in his eyes as he knew there would be.
