Father /Daughter Time (Ginny)

[Deleted]

(We can start this at home and then move it to wherever they go)

Arthur was usually one who enjoyed going out and about. He traveled to Diagon Alley often, as well as Hogsmeade, and had even ventured out into the Muggle part of London as of late to explore Muggle life. The latter trips had been the most fun, looking at all the curious inventions and eating at wonderful Muggle restaurants such as the Burger King and the Taco Bell, though the food did lay on his stomach at times.

However, the past while after he recovered from his poisoning, he had ended up becoming very much used to being a homebody, despite his early disdain of it. He had been reading yet another new book on dragons, and tinkering with a few new inventions of his own in the backyard. He had also done his part of the house and yard work as he did not want to get a good scolding from his beloved wife, Molly. In fact, he thought Molly might be happy with him staying around the house a bit as opposed to going out all the time.

With the chores done, Arthur grabbed his pipe, filled up a glass with Daisyroot Draught, and sat in his favorite chair in the living room. He was almost done with the book on dragons. He would finish that book up today and then begin reading a new book on Alchemy that he had found in Tomes and Scrolls, where he also bought the dragon book.

So there he sat, puffing his pipe and reading away, quite content with himself.

Ginny showed up at the Burrow with a smile on her face and large tray full of cookies in her arms. She knew better than to show up anywhere empty handed. Her mother had taught her that it was always polite to show up to a place with food or some other type of offering, especially if there were going to be people there, and, if you were going to be showing up unannounced, just as she was currently doing. Ginny knew that she didn’t have to announce herself before she came to her childhood home to visit her parents, but she still felt more like her mother’s daughter when she came bearing food. “Anyone around?” Ginny asked as she entered the house though the fireplace in the front room. She walked into the kitchen and put the cookies down on the counter before she took off her jacket and scarf and set them with her purse on the table before she walked into the living room in search of her parents. “Mom? Dad?” she asked and walked into the room.

Arthur quickly rose when he heard a very familiar and very welcomed voice. It belonged to his beloved only daughter, Ginny.

"Over here, Ginny," he said with a smile. "Your mother's out for a bit. I would be out too, but I've become so drawn to these books since my little recovery." Again, that was only part of it. The man had become far too use to being at home. When his mates at the Cauldron heard he was fully recovered, they expected him to pop up any day, but he hadn't.

Arthur stepped over and hugged Ginny before kissing her on the check.

"Look at you, my beautiful daughter," he said. "It's a been a little while, but then again you've had your games and all. How are you? How is the family? I heard the dreadful news about Lily and that wicked girl who confronted her and Thomas. Is she alright?"

George Weasley had been been a competitor to the Daily Prophet in bringing Arthur the family and local news in the past few weeks. The news of Hiromi Yen's attempt at murdering Lily Potter in Hogsmeade shook him up a great deal.

Ginny was glad to hear her father’s voice and see his smiling face when she entered the living room. She gladly hugged him back when he hugged her. She was just glad to see him out of the hospital. Every time that he had ended up in the hospital. The first time he had, she was only 14 and to this day, she knew she would never get the fright out of her being that she had when she was woken in the middle of the night by her professor and taken home with her brothers. "Hey Daddy." she smiled. "Have you been sitting at home? That's not like you. You should think about getting out and doing something." she insisted. She hated seeing her dad not doing anything. "I've got to go to something called a flea market in London. Would you like to come?" Ginny frowned a little when he brought up Lily, she was her little girl, and her only daughter, of course, Ginny was protective of all of her children. "She's doing alright. I can't stand these things happening to my kids. To any kids." she sighed.

Arthur was about to protest going out as again, he had gotten far too relaxed at home. However, he then heard of where Ginny was going. A flea market? Muggle items? Arthur's face lit up like that of a child at Christmas.

"I'll get my coat and hat, just be a moment!" he said. All of a sudden Arthur Weasley was ready to face the world again... well the world outside of his world of magic anyway.

"I'll buy us lunch!" he said. "We'll eat at a Muggle restaurant! The one that serves all the Mc-things!" To most Muggles, that particular restaurant was pretty commonplace, but to Arthur the place was a rare treat.

He was happy to hear Lily was fine.

"Yes, no one's children deserve being exposed to this," he said. "Just as you and your brothers didn't when you were young. The Order is not sitting idly by, I assure you, not sitting idly by at all!"

Arthur then sat down for a moment before he looked at Ginny in realization.

"Oh yes, we we're going somewhere," he said. "And here I was sitting here... idly." He rose and smiled at his daughter. "Ready when you are then."
