"I- I don't understand," Molly spluttered, reaching out to grab his hand. She had grown so accustomed to feeling it in her own for the last year or so. She felt her eyes become moist, and a hot tear trickled down her cheek.
Oh Merlin, tears, both Sean and Molly thought. Sean gently grasped her hand, and pried it from his own. "Come on, Molly, I'm trying to make it painless. We were each others' first everything: date, kiss, year long thing- I just know firsts don't work out. I love you Molly, I really do-"
"Then why do we have to break up?" Molly whispered, furiously wiping her tears away.
"I'm trying to save us both a little heartbreak,"
"Well your doing a bloody fantastic job," she snarled at him, taking a step back. "I'll just go. I know you don't want to break up with me, or did you forget I'm brilliant at reading people? We could be fantastic, Sean. We'd both be loyal, hardworking, and brave together." She stepped back towards him, desperately placing her lips on his.
Sean swallowed and gently pushed her back. He took a step back from her. "We-"
"Don't even ask me to be your friend." Molly said quietly. There was a finality to her tone that compelled both of them to take a step back. She turned away and strode over to her family, who watched worriedly by the pillar that would take them to muggle King's Cross.
Her father, Percy Weasley, was red in the face, and didn't realize his wife had frozen him to his spot until he tried to move to strangle the boy. "Audrey," he said warningly. Audrey shook her head and waited until Molly was hugging him and Sean was out of sight to remove her sticking charm. "Let's just go home," he sighed, defeated. "Grandmum's throwing a graduation dinner for the three of you," he said, attempting a smile at Molly.
The thought of seeing Teddy and Victoire together, holding hands, probably kissing, made Molly feel sick to her stomach. But she smiled for her father's sake, and held Lucy's hand all the way home.
