Chapter 8: Arrival

The group left Hogwarts to go to the Burrow. With Harry taking them there. Arriving there and taking in the familiar site of the back yard. Stepping to the door, Harry could see the worried look on Ron and Hermione's face. What they didn't know was that Molly was on the other side of the door waiting for them to show up.

Earlier at the Burrow: Molly Flashback

Molly awoke and started her normal routine, starting the wash and starting breakfast for the rest of the occupants of her home, the Burrow. It is true that her life turned out a little different than what she had planned. Molly had been a Healing Apprentice at Hogwarts under Poppy Pompfrey and was an accomplished healer. When her seventh year came around she had met a young gentleman that was very charming and had been chasing her for the last couple of years. The first Hogsmead weekend came up in her seventh year and he asked her to go just like all the other Hogsmead weekends, she told him that she had a lot of work to do for Poppy and that some other time would be more of a possibility.

A couple of weeks went by with no incident. There was apost in the common rooms announcing a Hogsmead weekend coming up. Sure enough Arthur approached Molly, "So, Molly, it is a Hogsmead weekend. So, I am going to ask you again but I will let you know that if you say no again that I want bother you again about it. I will leave you so you ponder about the great time that you could have with me. See you in a little while to pick you up, hopefully?"

With that he turned and left her suddenly. While she stood there open mouth, making a perfect imitation of a goldfish. She had thought about it and decided to take a chance. He came back to see what her decision was and was pleasantly surprised to see that she had dressed for the excursion. They made there way to the town and went to all the shops and finally made there way to Three Broomsticks to have some drinks and a bite to eat. The day was wonderful. On there way back to the school they had stopped at the entrance to Hogwarts, he looked at Molly and they both could feel a force pulling them to each other not known to the other. They came together and kissed, the feeling in them had increased ten fold in both of them.

Months passed and there relationship had grown. They were not seen apart for more than a few minutes. Upon graduating she was to go to St. Mungo's for healer training which would take all of her free time. The course would be for three years and she would be there the majority of the time. So a few weeks before the end of school she was in turmoil over the dilemma she was in. She loved Arthur and she loved helping people she was torn between the two. If she went to the healer program she would only see him a couple times a year and she felt that her heart could not bear it. On the other hand if she stayed with Arthur she would have left something that she had dreamed about since she first came to Hogwarts.

Little did she know her path was already chosen. The last few mornings she had woke up to running to the seventh year dormitories. After the third day of this routine she decided to check something she had been dreading to find out. So she took her wand and said the incantation. Even though she knew in her heart that the color was going to be green she was hoping that it would be red. Green smoke came out of her wand, positive. A smile started to spread across her face. She was happy, not at all what she thought she would be about this situation. She was going to be some ones mum.

She told Arthur later that day. It came out quite easily and his reaction was exactly like hers. He had grabbed her and gave her a passionate kiss. The rest as they say is history.

End Flash Back

She had noticed the note on the table and unfolded the parchment.

Mum,

We went to the swimming hole. We will be back a little after lunch.

Ron

'Well, they will be back in a few hours and I will teach him to lie to me, 'swimming indeed,' she thought as she passed the grandfather clock. She looked at the clock; Molly's face had started to become flushed with anger. The clock showed 'School'. 'I wonder what excuse he will come up with.'

The door open and in walked Harry. "Harry!" Molly exclaimed. "Where have you been?" Molly asked

"Well, at school I wasn't feeling very good as you can expect and in my funk I had wished to leave the school and 'bam' it happened," Harry answered.

"I am so glad you have turned up, I must let everyone know that you are okay," Molly said.

During that brief explanation, Ron and Hermione were walking around his mum to go up stairs.

"And where do you think you two are going?" Molly asked rather loudly, while shoving the note into Ron's hand. "Do you not know there is a clock sitting right here that I check often, it has only sit here since your father and I have been married?"

Ron had the decency to blush deeply before trying to explain. "Mum, when Harry got here we had told him about McGonagall wanting to talk to him when we saw him. I didn't think we…" Ron was cut off.

"Exactly, Ron you didn't think at all. Honestly, I expected better from you and Hermione. You are supposedly adults now, so start acting like it Ron," Molly yelled at him.

"Well what about Ginny, she went too. She did the exact same thing we did…" Ron was interrupted again from his loud almost yelling voice.

"Do Not Raise Your Voice To Me Young Man. Your sister left me a note saying that you were going to school with Harry," Molly said with a little bit of force.

"Then how come you are yelling at me?" Ron asked.

Hermione who had been quite through all of this just shook her head. 'Ron can be really thick sometimes,' she thought to her self as Harry and Ginny was in the same frame of mind.

"Because, She Did Not LIE to me. Her note said, Hermione, Ron and I went to Hogwarts with Harry, he came her a few moments ago and Professor McGonagall wants to speak with him about how he left and he asked us to go. So Ron, do you think that would upset me you lying to me and all."

"You left a note and didn't tell me," Ron asked looking at Ginny.

"Who would have thought in a million years that you would even consider to write a note," Ginny answered.

"Well, Mum," Harry started.

Molly looked at Harry; he had never called her that. She had always felt like he was apart of the family, her eighth offspring. It filled her heart to here him call her, mum.

"I have come across an excellent offer to be trained and I would like Ron and Ginny to come along for this opportunity," Harry said. "Hermione's parents have agreed to let her train as well." Leaving out the attack at her house.

"I don't see why Ron shouldn't go, even though he still needs to grow up some," Molly said.

"I would like Ginny to come as well for the training as it would be beneficial to her as well," Harry told her.

"Oh, yes, yes of course Ginny could go," Molly she had said without much emotion.

Harry noticed with is aura sight that when she mentioned Ginny her aura flared showing him that she was worried about her and a little sad. "Mum, she will be alright she will be in a place that no one will be able to get her. Light or dark for that matter. We will be training with a very powerful wizard," Harry said to help ease her troubles.

"Oh, Harry I know Minerva was here earlier to talk to me about it, says he is even stronger than Albus. That he has been training you as well, over some time but you haven't been able to talk about it. I am not worried about the training," Molly told him with a flash of pain going through her as well as the others when she said Albus.

"Well, I would say if not stronger than definitely as strong as him," Hermione finally broke her silence. Harry's face reddens with embarrassment. No one noticed except Hermione.

"Well, I suppose that you two need to pack some things to go with you. How long will you be gone for training?" Molly asked.

"We will be gone only a week," Harry answered.

"Only a week, what possibly could you learn in a week?" Molly asked.

"Well, we will be in use of a spell that was created to help prepare for a battle and I have talked it over with Albus Dumbledore, he has agreed that it is the best course of action," Harry said.

"Okay, I think you should all get ready to go. Harry, do take care of them want you," Molly asked him?

"I believe they will be taking care of me more than I to them," Harry said with a smirk.

After everyone was back from gathering his or her things and rejoined Harry in the kitchen he asked, "Are we ready to go?" With everyone's nod he asked for them to touch there stuff to be taken and he gave them a look that told them they were off.

When the feeling was lifted from Hermione, Ginny and Ron they were in front of a drab looking shack. "This is it Harry. It seems a little less than what I pictured," Ron told him.

"The magic is inside this drab cottage," Harry answered his remark.
