Setting: Molly's birthday is coming up and Audrey and Percy decide to surprise Molly with a family portrait.

A small, amber colored owl hooted happily as it landed on the window seal and Arthur recognized the owl immediately. He walked over to the window and opened it. The owl zoomed across the room and landed on top of the kitchen table, hooting almost immediately after landing.

"Calm down," Arthur said as he reached into a nearby owl jar and pulled out a treat, giving it to Barrett. Eating the treat slowly, the owl sat quietly as Arthur detached the letter from his leg, opening the envelope up once it was detangled.

Arthur,

Percy and I have decided that we want to take a family portrait for Molly's birthday. We've already told the rest of the family, but we want to keep it a surprise. So could you just tell Molly that we're doing it for the hell of it?

Audrey

Reading the letter he had just opened, Arthur couldn't help but to chuckle. Taking a family portrait for Molly's birthday was such an Audrey thing to do; not that he minded the idea at all. He actually thought it was a good idea, especially for someone like his wife.

Arthur dashed upstairs to the bedroom where Molly was getting dressed. "Good morning, darling," he said with a big grin on his face as he kissed his wife passionately on the lips.

"Good morning, sweetheart," Molly replied as she kissed her husband back.

"We are going to take a family portrait," he said. "We need a new one since our family is growing at a large rate."

"Oh that sounds wonderful," Molly said as she watched her husband dash out of the room.

Arthur returned to the kitchen to find Barrett hooting up a storm with a bowl of chips knocked over.

"Barrett, calm down," Arthur grumbled as he gave the owl another treat. Barrett remained quiet as he ate the owl treat. Arthur grabbed a nearby quill and jotted down a reply to Audrey.

Audrey,

Molly has agreed. She will be so pleased. Next time you send a letter again, please use a different owl because Barrett nearly demolished the house.

Arthur

Attaching the letter to the owl's leg, Barrett bit Arthur's finger fiercely, forcing him to get a glare from the Weasley's patriarch. Arthur then opened the window and Barrett zoomed quickly out of the house.

Hearing footsteps walk down the stairs, Arthur turned his head and watched his wife of thirty-six years walk towards him. Once she was standing next to him, he pulled her into a hug and said, "You look beautiful, dear." Kissing her on the forehead, he smiled lovingly at her, enjoying the intimate moment they were sharing.

"Thank you, darling," Molly whispered as she wrapped her arms around Arthur's neck, also enjoying the intimate moment they were sharing. "When is it that we're taking this family portrait of ours?" she added as she softly nuzzled Arthur's chest.

"I dunno, Audrey didn't say. I'll ask in a few minutes," Arthur replied as he started to rub Molly's back. Standing onto her tippy toes, Molly planted a soft kiss on Arthur's lips and said,

"Thank you, dear." When Arthur kissed her once more, Molly couldn't find herself to pull away. Those were the kinds of kisses she absolutely adored. She rarely ever got to kiss her husband like that, but with the kids out of the house, she found that she was able to kiss him like that. "I love you, Arthur Septimus Weasley." She giggled when she finally pulled away, a light blush appearing on her cheeks.

"I love you too, Molly Ann Prewett-Weasley," Arthur teased as he softly poked his wife.

Molly giggled. "I suppose we should get the family together for dinner and then take the portrait," she said out loud, not really talking to anyone in particular. Dashing into the kitchen, she began to cook breakfast for Arthur and herself. She glanced over at the kitchen table and noticed the bowl of chips knocked over, glaring at Arthur when he walked in.

"Who made this mess?" she asked.

Arthur realized that he forgot to clean up the mess that Barrett had made and he cleared his throat. "Audrey's new owl, Barrett," he said. "Not to worry, sweetheart. I will clean it up."

"You better if you want breakfast," Molly teased as she kissed Arthur on the cheek.

Outside the small village of Ottery St. Catchpole, Barrett flew to the small cottage that belonged to Percy Weasley and Audrey. Landing on the window seal, he started to peck at the window.

Hearing the constant pecking at the window, Percy slowly opened his eyes and groaned.

"Audrey, you really need to train that ruddy owl not to wake people up so early in morning."

Audrey smiled as she opened the window for Barrett, who soon after zoomed into the house. When he did, he knocked over a stack of Percy's personal papers and then gave a cheery hoot.

Audrey could not help but laugh, but Percy just growled.

"He doesn't know any better," she said as she reached over to the owl jar and gave Barrett an owl treat. When she started to detach the letter from his leg, he ate the treat quietly.

"Great," Audrey said happily when she read Arthur's reply. "All we have to do is set a time to get the family together so we can take the picture." Taking out another piece of parchment, Audrey scribbled her response.

"Perce, where is your owl?" Audrey asked as she started to fold the note she had just written, looking around the room for Percy's owl.

"I think he's in his cage, lemme go get him," Percy replied as he got out of bed and walked out of the room. Watching Percy walk away from her, Audrey couldn't help but to laugh. She always loved Percy's bed head; his hair was always sticking up at weird angles.

"Here you are, dear," Percy said as he walked back into the bedroom, his owl resting on his shoulder. "I'm sure he'll do a much better job then Barrett did," he added teasingly as he pecked Audrey on the lips.

"Hey, it's just because we haven't trained him! I'm sure you're owl was like him at one point!" Audrey replied defensively as she poked Percy in the stomach.

"Calm down, Aud, I was kidding!" Percy laughed.

Audrey crossed her arms across her chest and huffed. "You better have been if you know what is good for you," she teased as she poked Percy on his nose. She then attached the letter to Hermes' leg, causing him to bite Percy's ear affectionately. Once the letter was attached, Hermes hooted as he landed on top of the very same stack of papers that Barrett landed on earlier, spread his wings, and flew out the window, knocking over the same stack of papers, causing Percy to growl again.

"Owls," Audrey said with a sigh as she rested her hand on her stomach.

Percy smiled as he wrapped his arms around Audrey. "I love you, Audrey," he said.

"I love you, too, Percy," she said as she kissed him on the lips softly.

Hermes flew to the Burrow, and softly landed on the window seal and pecked at the window. Molly let the owl in and he zoomed inside, knocking over a stack of Quidditch magazines. Settling down onto the table, he began to jump around and hoot.

"Oi, Hermes," Ron said as he jumped out of his chair. "Calm down, you ruddy owl. Calm down."

Hermione laughed and grabbed an owl treat from the owl jar, giving it to Hermes, who had finally calmed down.

"Good lord," Arthur said. "What the devil was that?"

"Percy's owl, Hermes," Hermione said as she bent down and picked up the magazines.

Arthur reached down and unattached the letter from Hermes' leg, getting an affectionate nibble in response.

Arthur,

Sorry about the owl. We've just gotten him, you see. He still isn't trained. Oh, and we need to set up a date for the portrait. When are you guys free?

Audrey

"What did Audrey say, dear?" Molly asked.

"When are we free to take the portrait?" he asked, not really paying attention to Molly's question.

"We can take it this afternoon, if they aren't too busy," Molly replied.

"Great idea," Arthur said as he scribbled his reply onto the parchment.

Audrey,

That's all right about the owl. Hermes did no better. He knocked over a stack of magazines. Barrett knocked over a bowl of chips. Molly said we can take the portrait this afternoon. Molly's birthday is coming up in two days and now would be the perfect time to do it.

Arthur

"Wait…What portrait?" Ron asked as he watched his father attach the parchment to Hermes. He, obviously, knew exactly why they were taking a family portrait. He just didn't want his mum to catch on.

"We're all taking a family portrait, Ronald," Molly replied.

"I know that but why?" Ron asked.

"Well, with how fast our family is growing, Audrey decided that we should take a family portrait," Arthur intervened, giving Ron a warning glare.

"Ron, let's go outside," Hermione said, breaking the awkward silence that had fallen over the kitchen. Giving Arthur a sympathetic smile, she grabbed onto Ron's arm and dragged him outside. "Bloody hell, Ron, you're going to spoil the surprise!" She practically screamed once they were outside. "You know just as well as everyone else that this is a birthday present for your mum."

"I almost forgot," he said as he glared at Hermione. "With you shouting I'm surprised mum hasn't heard yet," he added.

Hermes zoomed out of the house and along the way he landed on top of Ron's head, softly pecking him.

"Call the ruddy owl off!" he shouted, getting Hermione to giggle in response.

Hermes hooted and then flew over to Audrey and Percy's house.

When Percy caught sight of Hermes, he opened the window and noticed the owl had returned a response.

Hermes and Barrett both hooted and Audrey appeared by Percy's side, taking the letter from her boyfriend's hand.

"Hey, I was just about to open it," Percy complained as Audrey shot him a glare, shutting him up almost immediately.

"Perfect!" She chuckled at Arthur's last statement about the owls. "Apparently neither owl knows how to behave," she said with a sigh. "Shall we round up the others and get them ready?" she asked.

"Let's do it," Percy replied with a smile, grabbing everything he needed. Within minutes, both him and his girlfriend had everything they could possibly need for the portrait.

"Perce, let's go. I don't wanna be late," Audrey called, wondering where her boyfriend could have possibly gone.

"Okay, okay. I'm ready," Percy replied as he walked into the living room, a smirk written across his face.

"Percy, you really are a tease!" Audrey laughed. "Now, are we flooing to the Burrow or Apparating?" she added, the tone of her voice changing to a serious one.

"Let's Apparate, I don't want you to get dirt all over your clothes," Percy teased, knowing he shouldn't have said that.

"Percival Ignatius Weasley!" Audrey screeched.

"Kidding, love," Percy said as he grabbed Audrey's arm as they Apparated to Fleur and Bill's house.

"Charlie, where the hell is Bill at?" Fleur asked as she looked around the house.

"I think he went to get Victoire," Charlie said.

CRACK!

Percy and Audrey appeared out of nowhere.

Hearing the familiar crack of Apparation, both Charlie and Fleur jumped. They weren't expecting Audrey and Percy to Apparate into the room. Well they were but not at that exact moment.

"Bloody hell you guys, next time try not to scare everyone!" Charlie practically yelled as Bill came down the stairs, carrying Victoire in his arms.

"Sorry," Audrey laughed as she walked around the room and hugged everyone.

"Is Mum and Dad here?" Percy asked to no one in particular, looking around the somewhat empty room.

"No," Bill said, appearing at his wife's side with Victoire in his arms.

"Dad said you guys were going to round up everyone else and have them meet back at the Burrow," Charlie said as Victoire stretched out her arms to him as he picked her up and bounced her.

Victoire let out a giggle and Audrey smiled.

"That's right," Bill said. "Dad said that Ron and Hermione are already at the Burrow."

Victoire let out another giggle and Audrey smiled again.

"Well," Fleur said as she put her hands on her hips. "Since we can't Apparate with Victoire we'll use the Floo Network while you guys go to George and Angelina's house."

Bill snorted. "We're not using the Floo network," he said. "Don't want to ruin your pretty dress."

Fleur's cheeks turned slightly pink. "William Arthur Weasley."

"I'm only joking, love," Bill said as he quickly caught Fleur's lips in a passionate kiss.

Fleur quickly pulled away and popped Bill on the shoulder. "You better be or you will be sleeping on the couch for the rest of the month," she huffed.

"I'll come with you," Charlie said to Audrey, ignoring the fight between Bill and Fleur.

"Very well," Audrey said as she turned to Percy. "Let's get a move on."

CRACK!

Percy and Audrey vanished to George and Angelina's house.

"George… Angelina?" Audrey called once she got herself collected from Apparating. "You guys ready?" She added as she heard loud footsteps coming down the stairs.

"I'm ready, though I'm not quite sure about Angie," George replied when he made it downstairs.

"You know just as well as I do that I'm ready!" Angelina said as she also walked down the stairs, closely following George.

"Sorry, hun, last time I checked, you were still doing your make-up," George replied, a sheepish grin flickering across his face.

"There's no time for fighting, you guys, we don't wanna be late for the family portrait!" Percy intervened, stopping the fight before it could get any worse.

"Right," George agreed as he nodded his head at Percy and quickly kissed Angelina on the cheek.

Angelina looked around. "Where is everyone else?"

"Fleur, Bill, Victoire, and Charlie are on the way to the Burrow," Audrey said. "Ron and Hermione are at the Burrow. We're own the way to Harry and Ginny's house."

"We'll meet you guys at the Burrow!" Angelina said as she and George Disapparated.

CRACK!

Percy and Audrey Disapparated to Harry and Ginny's house.

Hearing the familiar pop of Apparation, Ginny rushed into the living room where Audrey and Percy awaited for her.

"It's good to see you two. Harry will be down in a few minutes. He just got out of the shower," she said as she gave both Percy and Audrey a hug.

"Gin, you know it doesn't take me that long once I'm out of the shower!" Harry laughed as he walked up behind his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Ginny smirked as she kissed Harry softly on the lips. "Let's get a move on or we'll be late," she said.

"Right," Harry agreed as he let Ginny go and grabbed a nearby comb to brush his hair, setting the comb down once he finished.

CRACK!

They all Apparated to the Burrow.

A familiar noise could be heard in the fireplace of the Burrow and then the familiar flash of green smoke filled the chimney and the first to appear was Fleur, second Bill, and then Charlie, who was carrying Victorie.

"Where are the others?" Molly asked.

"On their way," Fleur said.

CRACK!

Apparating beside Charlie and Victoire was George and the loud popping noise being heard,Victoire began to cry.

"It's all right, sweetheart," Charlie said as he gave Victoire her bottle,who then accepted it immediately.

CRACK!

Apparting next to Angelina were Harry and Ginny.

CRACK!

Apparting next to Ginny was Audrey and Percy.

"It looks as if we're all here," Molly said happily, looking around the vibrant living room.

"It looks like it," Arthur replied, a smile appearing across his face. He couldn't have been any happier that this was working out as planned. "Anyways, is everyone ready to go?" He added after a few seconds of silence.

"Lets go," A chorus of people replied.

"Wait just a second now," Arthur said as everyone stopped in his or her tracks.

"What is it, Arthur?" Molly asked.

"We can't all Apparate to Selena's Picture Perfect Creations," Arthur said.

"Of course," Molly agreed. "Victoire is too young for Apparation so Fleur, Bill, Charlie, and Victoire will use the floo network. Everyone else can Apparate."

CRACK!

Molly and Arthur Disapparated.

Harry wrapped his arm around Ginny's waist and smirked.

CRACK!

Harry and Ginny Disapparated.

"Come on, Ronald," Hermione said as she grabbed Ron's hand.

CRACK!

Hermione and Ron Disapparated.

George grabbed Angelina's hand and with a crack they Disapparated, followed by Percy and Audrey.

Bill, Fleur, Charlie, and Victorie climbed in the fireplace and Bill said, "Selena's Picture Perfect Creations." They disappeared into the emerald flames.
