A Day in the Life of Arthur Weasley
"So, pretty much everyone knows of our Dad's legendary love of all things Muggle. And legendary is probably even an understatement."
The crowd chuckles and Arthur blushes, but only Molly can see, and she's too busy laughing to notice much.
"I'm not sure if everyone truly understands what I mean here, so let's just share a few shots of Dad's Muggle collection, and workshop, where he most definitely doesn't muck about, putting spells on Muggle items."
The crowd snickers as a montage of the insides of Arthur's shed plays on the screen. Countless extension cords, kitchen devices, tools, and other Muggle bits and bobs can be seen, all neatly laid out, hung on walls, or tucked into shelves.
"Now, I'll tell you folks a little secret, Mom actually found out about this slide show during her weekly rummaging, I mean cleaning, of the house. She found us all searching through the picture books and did what she does best, guilted us into telling her what was going on. Then, she suggested that it might be a fun idea to surreptitiously follow Dad around for the day and take some pictures, so that everyone could see what a day in the life of Arthur Weasley is like, which, of course, would center a lot around that work shed. Well, of course that sounded like a smashing idea, so we did it. And now, I'll tell you all something Mom doesn't know; we followed her around too."
"Oh George, really!" Molly exclaims.
"What?" George answers, "Did you think a day in the life of Molly Weasley wouldn't be interesting too?"
Several pictures pop onto the screen. "Now, as I'm sure you'll notice, it's still dark when Molly wakes up." The first picture shows Molly, her hair a wild tangled mess, rising from the bed and making her side of the covers, while Arthur sleeps on.
"It doesn't take long for Arthur to start undoing all of Molly's tidying." The next picture comes into focus, showing a still sleeping Arthur rolling over, taking the covers with him and mussing up Molly's neat side of the bed. The crowd chortles.
"While Arthur sleeps, Molly gets busy tidying and cooking and meddling with whichever child or grandchild happened to have spent the night." The next shot shows Molly using her wand to complete her chores. Things fly onto and off of shelves and cupboards and anyone in the vicinity is obliged to duck or get beaned.
"Breakfast follows, for which it's possible for just about anyone to floo in for, so Mom always makes way more food than would seem necessary." A new shot shows just Molly sitting in front of mountains of food, but slowly the table fills as other members of the Weasley family show up and start loading plates. Arthur shuffles in, looking unsurprised to see most of his family there already.
"Now, to tell you the truth folks, after this breakfast, I kind of got sleepy and had a bit of a nap. When I woke up, it was dark again and everyone was already back in bed...so that's about as far as we can get in this day of Arthur and Molly's life. Sorry about that."
Ginny gives an exasperated sigh, "Really, George? You said you got it all and were all set. I knew I should have done the 'day in the life' pictures!"
"Calm down Ginny. This thing is already way longer than it should be. If we did the whole day, ickle Ronniekins really might die of starvation. OK! Moving on, folks!"
