Molly · Weasley

*after recieving the owl from Bill, she gave a kiss to Dor and Arthur before flooing to St Mungos so fast she forgot to take her apron off* *she had managed to spot Tonks in the lobby and together they bolted upstairs to Hestia's room, ignoring anyone trying to stop them*

*she had a tight grip on Tonks' hand as they pushed the door open*

Hestia, dear?

*brings a plate of food over to Lavender with a small smile* *she understands how hard it is to lose a brother, she lost two afterall when she was around Lavender's age and knows that being surrounded by people is likely the last thing Lavender wants right now* *sets the plate down along with a cup of tea on a small table next to the chair*

Hello, dear. Can I get you anything else?

*hums lightly as she pulls a fresh cherry pie from the oven* *the wireless is on, A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love is playing* *sings quite loudly as she moves around the kitchen*

Oh, come and stir my cauldron,
And if you do it right,
I'll boil you up some hot, strong love
To keep you warm tonight.

*licks a bit of cherry off of her thumb and looks up when she hears the kitchen door open* *smile widens*

Oliver, dear! Hello! *hurries over for a hug and a kiss to his cheek*

*hums to herself as she rolls a piece of dough* *Arthur always loved cherry pies and she's been in such a good mood since reading Bill and Cho's announcement* *two more children to add to the family* *peeks into the living room where Dora is still enjoying her afternoon nap* *brushes a bit of hair from her face, leaving a small spot of flour on her nose*

*looks up when she hears someone apparated into the garden* *peeks through the thin kitchen curtains and smiles brighty when she spots Hermione* *waves a hand towards the kitchen door, opening it wide*

Tonks dear,

Looking at the calendar this morning I realised that Hestia is due in just about two months. We simply must have a shower for her before the baby comes. Since you're the godmother it only seems right for you to help. That and you are quite clever and I'm sure you'll be able to assist me with the surprise.

Besides, just think of all the pink you'll be able to use when decorating. I wouldn't want to deprive you of that.

Love,
Molly

*kneels with Dora in the garden, tugging at the weeds dotting the rows of carrots* *smiles and laughs softly when Dora yanks a carrot out* No, you can't eat that yet. *shows her how to plant it back into the soil and smiles down at her blonde pigtails, the smudge of dirt on her nose and the smile which comes so much easier than it did a few months ago* *leans down to press a kiss to her forehead*

*looks up at the sound of someone Apparating into the yard* *slips her hand into her apron pocket and clutches her wand, relaxing when she sees the familiar shock of red hair*

*smiles brightly at her youngest son* Have you come to help then?

Who: Molly & Bill
When: When else? During the reception
Why: Because she's the mother of the groom!

(And I'm sure bouncing around on the back of camel did wonders for his morning sickness, Bill.)

*as her favorite waltz ends, she smiles* *presses a kiss to Arthur's cheek and whispers that she's off to find her eldest son for a turn around the floor* *finds Bill and Cho together at their table and smiles at them* *she's not seem them apart for more than a dance the entire evening* *remembers what it felt like to be new in love, to only have eyes for the person next to you* *then remembers that she still only has eyes for one man and turns back to smile at him to prove it*

If you don't mind, Cho, I think my son owes me a dance. *grins at him* I did give him life after all.

*follows the house elf to Cho's room, still seething quietly from her discussion with Blaise* *wonders how any of these children can possibly believe they have seen all the world has to offer* *mumurs a thank you as the elf points out Cho's door*

*softly* Cho dear, are you awake?

*laughs as she holds up a pair of miniature bunny slippers* Oh these are precious! *happily* You must buy them Hestia dear.

*adds them to the large pile of baby clothes they've already picked out*

Bill,

I imagine you need these right now. There's more here at home if you need them.

Love,

Mum

Errol also carries a tin of oatmeal chocolate chip and walnut biscuits

*sits with a hot cup of coffee in her hands, bright smile on her face in Hestia's living room*

Her name is Eudora and with any luck, she'll be coming to live with us shortly. I'm off to meet her tomorrow and Sophie has agreed to handle the legal things which I just don't understand. *smile widens* It will be good to have a little one in the house. Andie will have a playmate. *chuckles* And she'll be the first without the red hair.

From: Molly Weasley, The Burrow

Hestia,

How are you feeling dear? I'm terribly sorry I've not owled sooner, but the wedding completely took over my world for awhile. Did you get the potions I forwarded along? I do hope they worked.

Perhaps next week I'll stop in for a spot of tea?

Love,
Molly
