Chapter 3 - Apology

August 12, 1985 - 10:00 pm (The Burrow)

Ron woke up in his bed, dressed in pajamas and with a stuffed animal under his arm. This wouldn't be weird if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't remember going to sleep. The last thing he remembered was going to the Headmasters office at Hogwarts and… oh. He said a bunch of stuff about animals in a weird voice and passed out. That had to have been a prophecy, he was a Seer, Bill was right.

He was still dead tired even though it was dark out, so he decided to worry about it tomorrow morning.

August 13, 1985 - 7:00 am

He woke up once again this time to somebody running their fingers through his hair. He looked up and saw his Dad, he looked kinda sad. Did something happen while he was sleeping?

"What's wrong Dad, are you ok?" he asked if something bad happened while he was sleeping he needed to know.

Arthur looked at his son, after passing out due to a near depleted magical core and being unconscious for almost 24 hours the first words out of Ron's mouth we're to ask if he was okay. His son was too kind. "Nothings wrong Ron, I was just checking on you, how do you feel?"

"I feel fine, I'm not tired anymore, that's good right," Ron asked. He looked at his father and hoped to get reassured, told that everything was going to be alright.

"That is good, that must have been so scary for you, nothing like that has ever happened before huh," Arthur said as he tried to comfort his son. He could only imagine what Ron was feeling right now. He knew if it had been him who was telling prophecies, there would be a lot more freaking out going on. Ron seemed to be handling this very well.

"Are you hungry," Arthur asked, his son hadn't eaten since lunch yesterday so he figured that Ron should be starving at this point. "It's a little early for our normal breakfast time but I'm sure your mum wouldn't mind making you something to eat now."

Arthur could see the hesitation on his son's face and felt his heartbreak at the sight. A child should never be anxious to talk or be around their parents. Arthur knew his wife's personality was fiery and hot-tempered at best but for his food-loving son to be cautious to eat just at the mention of his mother hurt something deep inside of him.

"After you eat your mum needs to talk with you about some important things," he said because they did need to talk. His son was a Seer, Ron told a true Prophecy in front of the most powerful wizard in Britain and then collapsed because of the strain it caused to his young and developing magical core. Any lingering doubt that possessed him was long gone. Only a severe bout of accidental magic could cause a child to collapse like his son did but the only thing that happened was a Prophecy being told.

He was willing to believe his son, give him the benefit of the doubt and he still felt guilty after it was proven that Ron was a Seer. He knew for a fact his wife was beating herself up over this.

August 13, 1985 - Noon

After breakfast was finished and with all of the other children occupied, Molly took Ron to his room to talk in private. Molly needed to talk to her son. Never before had she felt like such a bad mother. She knew she tended to spoil Ginny more than Ron but how could she not. She had always wanted a daughter and after years of trying she finally managed it, her baby girl. Even though she did spoil her daughter more, she loved all of her children equally. For her to have blatantly disregarded her son's ability and dismissed him on more than one occasion made her feel sick. After a long conversation with her husband and some much-needed self-reflection, she came to the conclusion that an apology was in order. Her behavior was unacceptable and the fact that she only now just realized it was somehow even worse.

She looked at her son who seemed nervous as if he were in trouble. Why shouldn't he think that she's been horrible to him.

"You're not in trouble Ron." She tried to soothe her child, "I just wanted to talk to you about the way I've been acting towards you" Gosh, she wasn't used to apologizing since she was usually the one in the right. This wasn't the time to let her pride get in the way, she was a Gryffindor, it took courage to own up to your mistakes and admit you wronged someone.

"I'm so sorry Ronnie, I should have never behaved that way, I can't imagine how you must have felt," she said

Her son looked at her with thinly veiled confusion before replying "That's alright Mum"

"No, it's not," she said, of course, her sweet boy would forgive her so easily but she needed him to understand, "You should never tell people somethings ok when it's not. It will make them think that they can just do it again. What I did was wrong and I know that".

Wrong was an understatement, borderline neglect was a more accurate description. Molly prided herself on her motherhood, and to have unknowingly hurt one of her children, she would never forgive herself. Ron was always so tame compared to his siblings. Not as troublesome as the Twins, or persistent as Percy. Bill and Charlie were the oldest and very outgoing while Ginny who was the youngest always seemed to captivate anyone she came into contact with. It was so easy to overlook him, she couldn't even remember the last time she spent a moment alone with him.

She didn't even realize she was crying until her son wiped her tears away. Even now she was making this situation about her.

"Ron, I may not show it sometimes but I love you and I always will." She said "I'll try to be more inclusive in the future, but if I ever forget just tell me okay"

"Ok Mum, I will," Ron said "Does this mean we get to play some of my games now," he asked

"Yeah" Molly laughed wetly "It does,"

Molly looked at her son. She felt better now that she apologized, like a weight had been lifted. Now the only thing left to do was tell all of the children about Ron's ability. She and Arthur decided to tell them together after dinner so all she could do was wait. She hoped that it would go smoothly.

August 13, 1985 - After Dinner

All of the kids were packed in the living room.

They rarely had family meetings and their confusion was apparent. Bill seemed impatient and little Ron seemed nervous about telling his siblings.

People finally believed him about his guessing but the prospect of telling them, it was the scariest thing in the world. He didn't want them to react badly or worse, not believe him at all. The twins would probably find some way to prank him or make fun of him for it. Percy was the most likely to refuse to believe him but maybe the Headmasters belief in him would be enough to sway Percy. Ginny was usually nice to him; she could react either good or bad.

His parents looked as if they were trying to find the words to describe what had happened. They finally decided to take a page out of Bill's book and just be blunt.

"Rons a Seer" Arthur announced

All eyes went to Ron and all he could think was how he wished this would all be over.

A chorus of disbelief and confusion could be heard from everybody in the room. When they all talked over each other, Molly lost her patience real quick.

"QUIET, you will stop yelling and talking over each other, I didn't raise you to be this disrespectful." Molly scolded.

Percy raised his before he spoke "Seers aren't real, it's all a bunch of fakers"

Arthur looked at his son and sighed "While it's true that a lot of people who claim to be Seers falsify visions and prophecies for whatever reason, there are a select few who genuinely have the gift. Not all Seers are frauds." out of all his children Percy would be the one to be the most skeptical.

"And you believe a five-year-old, who's practically a toddler is a Seer" added Charlie looking unconvinced, "you believe this Bill," he asked and looked at his brother to see if he also thought it was weird.

"Yes I do because it's true, even Headmaster Dumbledore believes Ron and so should you," Bill said with conviction in his voice and a stern glare that rivaled their mothers.

Charlie held his hands up in mock surrender before replying "if you guys say so, who am I to say it's not true, what do I know." He wasn't about to argue with Bill when he went all protective big brother, the only thing worse than an angry Mum was an angry Bill.

The twins who weren't used to staying this quiet decided to voice their opinions.

"So ickle Ronniekins says he's a Seer" George started.

"and somehow managed to not only convince Mum and Dad but also the Headmaster of Hogwarts" finished Fred.

They looked at each other with matching smirks on their faces and then high fived. "Wicked," they said together.

"you have to tell us how you did it Ronnie" Fred begged,

"Best. Prank. Ever, didn't know you had it in you" George said and looked at his baby brother in a new light.

Ron's face fell, he looked down "not a prank" he mumbled. The one time the twins looked at him with anything other than annoyance, it was because they thought he lied.

Molly on the other hand couldn't fault the twins for thinking this was all some big joke because it honestly sounded like one. She would have still believed it was all just a coincidence or Bill pushing the idea into Ron's head if she hadn't witnessed her son's prophecy firsthand.

"It's not a prank, Ron told a true Prophecy and it drained his magical core," Molly said trying to get her children to understand "that typically only happens to someone Ron's age if powerful accidental magic was used but the only magic that happened was a prophecy being told ." She would never forget that deep raspy voice that came out of her son's mouth, and him collapsing to the ground. It felt like her heart collapsed, seeing her child drop like that.

"Is that why he ruined my presents?" Asked Ginny in a small voice.

Arthur decided to answer her "he didn't mean to, it was an accident," the last thing that they needed was for Ginny to throw a tantrum.

"Like when I broke mum's vase," said Ginny

"Exactly, he wasn't trying to ruin your party" He realized that now. Ron was too sweet to ever do something so mean.

"Oh, okay," she said "can I go to bed now, I'm really tired."

Arthur and Molly looked at each other, out of all the reactions Ginny could have had this one seemed almost dismissive.

"Is that all you have to say, sweetheart, we just told you some big news" Arthur tried to understand where she was coming from, "Your Mum and I would understand if you were confused or even angry."

Now Ginny looked confused "Why would I be angry, it was an accident, you said so yourself. And I'm not confused, Seers see the future, and if Rons a Seer that means he can see the future, it makes sense" She tried to explain herself, where her parents confused? "Are you confused?"

"No, we're not, but you're right about something, let's get you to bed, how about a story," Arthur said as he led his daughter up the stairs to her room. This left Molly with her son's

Molly agreed with Ginny, she was tired and It's been a long day. She herded her children to bed and bid them all good night. Not before reading Ron a story like Ginny received.

She knew she wasn't perfect, it was impossible to give her children equal amounts of attention one hundred percent of the time. But that didn't mean she couldn't try her best either.

August 14, 1985 - Breakfast (The Burrow)

Arthur hadn't felt this content in a long time, with all the chaos and commotion his children always caused they seemed to be well behaved today. He wondered how long that would last, knowing his brood probably not long.

Everything was finally out in the open and his children reacted to the news much better than he expected. He didn't like keeping secrets from his family and this was something that would find its way out eventually. He was just glad that he could sit down with his family for some breakfast and head to work. He took the morning paper and his eyes widened as he looked at the Headline in big, black, bold letters.

SIXTH WEASLEY SON, A SEER?
