Chapter 3
At around 6 am Arthur was allowed to enter the hospital room. It was a very clean room with white walls and green curtains. The ray of the morning sun was creeping through the glass window and adding a dazzling kind of glow to the room.
Arthur picked on Molly's lips and sat down on a stool beside her cot. She was already sitting up but her face did not seem very happy.
-"What's the matter Mollywobbles? You don't seem much happy? I heard the baby is normal, fit and fine. They would let us hold it any moment now." Arthur said holding Molly's hand.
-"It's a boy Arthur! Again." Molly said with a visible disappointment in her voice.
-"So what dear?" Arthur said a bit socked. It was so unlike his wife to be disappointed about the birth of their sixth child just because of its sex.
-"No. No. Don't get me wrong dear. But I just hoped it would be a girl this time." Molly said with a faint smile on her face.
-"Have you seen him?"
-"No dear. I told the nurse that I would see his face with you."
Right at that moment the nurse entered the room with a tiny white bundle in her arms and placed it in Molly's out-stretched arms saying-
-"There you go Mrs. Weasley. Look what a handsome little boy you have given birth to!"
Molly looked down at her baby boy's face. He was fast asleep; his eyes were squeezed shut forming two lines. He had chubby cheeks, little rosy lips and a button nose. He had little amount of hair on top of his head and it was Weasley red in color.
Molly placed her index finger into her baby boy's tiny palm; he instantly closed its palm into a tiny fist and Arthur thought he saw his lips curl up into something that looked like a smile.
Molly bend down a little and kissed his forehead. The boy didn't react; he just kept on sleeping in his mother's protecting arms.
Molly just could not take her eyes off that cute little thing in her lap. She felt so guilty for ever being disappointed about his birth. His face filled her heart with warmth and hope. For some reason she felt a strange shot of positive feeling that soon all is going to change for better.
-"Isn't he beautiful dear?" Molly asked looking up at Arthur and saw he was looking at the baby with a proud look on his face.
-"Huh!" was all Arthur managed to say.
-"Why do you have such a proud look on your face dear?" Molly asked curiously.
-"Do I?" Arthur said astonished and then added "well… I don't know…but I feel a positive feeling about this little guy over here. I have a feeling that he would bring us new hope in this time of darkness and do great things that no Weasley has ever done."
-"I sure hope so dear."Molly placed another kiss on the baby's forehead.
[End of flash back]
A lone tear rolled down Molly's eyes and she made no effort to stop it. She kissed the photograph and hugged it to her bosom and prayed silently for her youngest son's well being.
