For Anna - this is my first time attempting MollyArthur, and I hope I haven't messed it up completely.
Molly stroked the patch of grass she was kneeling in front of tenderly. She had just laid of bouquet of purple flowers on that spot, and was moments away from breaking into tears.
"Oh Fred," she whispered in a grief filled voice. "It's been ten years since I lost you, and I still miss you like it was yesterday. There's no one here who can take the place of my third oldest child, and when you left us, it was like you ripped a hole in the fabric of our family. And George- oh, for the longest time I thought we were going to lose him too. If it weren't for Lee, I don't know what would have happened to him. I wish-"
"He wouldn't want you to still be grieving, you know," her husband's interrupted her.
"I know Arthur," she said tearfully as she turned to bury her face in his chest. "I just don't know how to move on. Every time I come here, I'm just reminded all over again that Fred's never coming back."
Arthur bent down to kiss her on the forehead. "Why don't you try to tell him the good that has happened to our family over the past year?"
"I'll try," Molly said, tears still welling up in her eyes as she turned to face the grave of her lost child.
"Lee and George adopted a baby boy a few months ago. He looks exactly like a Weasley, complete with the red hair and freckles. They're calling him Fred…"
