CRACK!
CRACK!
Molly and Arthur arrived in front of Selena's Picture Perfect Creations only to find that Percy and Audrey were waiting for them inside with Bill, Fleur, Victoire, and Charlie.
"Where is everyone else?" Molly asked.
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
George, Angelina, Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny arrived outside the shop.
"We're here, mum." George replied with a smirk, knowing that Molly heard them arrive.
"George, be nice to your mum!" Angelina stated as she whacked the outside of George's head.
"Sorry, mum," George mumbled as he massaged the part of his head where Angelina had whacked him.
"I think you picked the right woman to be your wife, George," Molly teased, getting a nasty glare from George in response.
"Okay, you two, let's finish this conversation later. I want to get this family portrait over with," Charlie intervened.
Walking up to the receptionist's desk, Audrey checked in, hoping that they weren't too late.
"First door to your left," The lady said as she pointed to the hall, erasing Audrey's original thoughts of being too late.
"All right," Molly said as Audrey motioned them inside.
"I do hope that we go to mum's for dinner," Ron interjected as Hermione whirled around and glared at him.
"Oh, honestly, Ronald," she said as she thumped him in the back of the head. "Always thinking of your stomach."
"Everyone this way," Selena said. "I should mention you have to wait at least a day for the portrait to be made."
"Why?" Molly asked.
"We have a massive order," Selena said as she rounded up the family. "Tallest to shortest."
"I was actually thinking we should do this one by couples?" Audrey asked, her mouth speaking before she realized what she way saying.
"That could work too," Selena said slowly, rethinking the positions of everyone. "Ok, the matriarch and patriarch will stand right here," she added a few minutes later as she walked to the middle of the room. Stepping forward, Molly and Arthur walked towards Selena, not quite sure what to expect. "Okay, you two are going to be facing each other. You Mrs…" she started, not quite knowing everyone's names.
"Molly… Molly Weasley," Molly replied sheepishly, a smile coming across her face.
"Okay, Molly, you're going to wrap your arms around his neck," Selena ordered. "And you, sir, are going to wrap your arms around her waist," she added as she stepped away from the couple, who were now in their designated position.
"I could stay in this position all day if I had to," Arthur whispered as he softly kissed his wife's lips, getting a slight blush from Molly in response.
"You know what, maybe we should have you two kiss for the picture," Selena said, surprising both Molly and Arthur. "You didn't think I saw that, aye?" She chuckled.
"I'm sure even Ginny and Harry saw that," Bill teased as he looked at the couple that was snogging.
Harry and Ginny broke apart when they heard Bill's comment. Ginny blushed a bright red. "Don't make me hex you," she snarled under breath.
"William," Fleur chided as she smacked Bill on the arm. "Leave them alone and let's get this over with."
"Ouch," Bill said as he rubbed his arm.
Selena chuckled. "You two stand on the left in front of Arthur. But don't stand directly in front of them. We have to make sure the camera sees them," she instructed.
Standing in front of Molly and Arthur, Bill and Fleur stood off to the side, just like Selena had said. Bill quickly wrapped his arms around Fleur and rested his chin on the top of her head.
"That's perfect," Selena beamed. "Just kiss her on the head." Giving a kiss to Fleur's head, Bill beamed at both his wife and parents. Though, Molly and Arthur didn't quite notice. They were just a little too caught up in their conversation with each other.
"Mum, Dad, you're going to make me puke!" Bill whined.
"William, I don't see why them talking is such a big deal," Fleur screeched softly.
"That is most definitely not talking!" Bill replied horrified.
"You should be nicer to your mum and dad. Without them, you wouldn't be here," Fleur sighed as she wrapped her arms around Bill's waist and rested her head on his shoulder. Taking one last glance at his parents, Bill noticed that they were giving him a weird look, which was understandable considering he was their eldest son, who happened to be married himself.
"Beautiful," Selena remarked. "Keep that pose." She then turned to Audrey and Percy. "You stand on the right side."
Audrey stood beside Fleur and Percy stood in front of his mother, careful not to block the eldest Weasley couple. Percy wrapped his arms around Audrey's waist and held her close to his side.
"Alright, sir, I want you to kiss her on the cheek," Selena said as she carefully looked at the group that was now posing for the picture. Bending down slightly, Percy softly kissed Audrey on the cheek and held it there, giving Audrey the slightest tint of red. "That's amazing, hold it there!"
Selena turned to Angelina and George. "All right now you stand right in front of Bill and Fleur, but off to the side so we can see them." Following Selena's direct orders, George and Angelina did as they followed and stood in front of Bill and Fleur but a little bit to the left, as not to block them.
George wrapped his arms around Angelina's waist and rested his chin on her left shoulder. Selena beamed. "That is perfect," she said. "Just kiss her on the nose."
Angelina smirked at George as he quickly kissed her on the lips.
Selena turned to Ron and Hermione. "Okay you stand beside them and try not to block the way."
Following Selena's orders, Ron took a hold of Hermione's hand and stood next to George, though he was careful not to block anyone. "Now, kiss her on the forehead, sir," Selena said. When Ron did so, Hermione blushed a deep red. "Perfect," Selena added happily.
Turning to look at the last couple of the group, Selena walked over to Harry and Ginny, grabbed them both by their arms and dragged them to the center of the group. Though she was careful to place them where they weren't blocking Molly and Arthur. "You, sir, are going to be kneeling," Selena said. "But you will be kissing her hand."
Harry dropped down onto one knee, grabbed Ginny's left hand in his hand, and kissed her hand softly, causing Ginny to blush a brilliant shade of pink.
"Perfect!" Selena said as she clapped her hands together as she looked at Charlie and Victoire. "You sir," she said. "Will be sitting in front of the group holding this adorable little girl."
Charlie sat down on the floor in front of the group and held Victoire. Victorie started to fidget and Selena noticed. "Here you go," she said to Victoire and picked up a Hungarian Horntail plush Dragon and handed it to her, who accepted the toy.
"That's perfect!" Selena said happily as she grabbed her camera off the table. "Now, everyone get in your positions." Immediately, Arthur and Molly kissed each other, Bill placed his lips on top of Fleur's head, Percy kissed Audrey on the cheek, George planted a soft kiss on Angelina's nose and held it there, Ron enthusiastically kissed Hermione's forehead and Harry, again, kissed his girlfriend on the hand.
Charlie snuggled Victoire and kissed her on the cheek. Selena smiled and quickly took the photograph. She took another one just to be on the safe side.
"Perfect!" Selena said. "You may pick this up in two days."
"Two days?" Molly repeated.
"Not to worry, Molly," Audrey said. "I'll come by and get it." She glanced at Selena and winked.
"Are you sure, dear, because I can do it if it's not too much trouble," Molly replied, wondering why Audrey replied so quickly.
"No I insist on getting it myself," Audrey assured Molly.
"Molly," Fleur said. "I was wondering if you would mind watching Victoire tomorrow? Bill has to go to work and I need to go shopping."
Victoire looked up as her name was spoken and made a puppy face.
"Now how can I say no to that?" Molly said with a sigh. "I'll watch the little angel."
Victoire clapped her hands and stretched her arms out to Molly and she picked her up. Snuggling close to her grandmother, Victorie stuck her thumb into her mouth and started to drift off to sleep.
"She's such a cutie!" Molly beamed as she softly kissed Victorie's head.
"I know," Fleur cooed. "And she's a grandmother's girl too."
"That's my girl!" Molly squealed happily as she cuddled the little girl even closer.
