Spring Time At The Burrow (Adult Potters/Weasleys/Friends)

[Deleted]

Spring had come again and that meant a number of things at the Burrow. It meant gardening for Arthur, spring cleaning for both he and Molly, and of course the usual get-together with those who could come visit. This of course meant those older members of the family who were not busy at Hogwarts prepping for Final Exams.

Arthur was out in the garden with Mad-Eye, who lied about as usual while his master concentrated on his tomato plans. The bulldog had the same bored look on his face. Arthur sighed, but then smiled at him.

"Well if you are this underwhelmed by my gardening, why don't you see what you can do to be of service to your Mistress inside, good sir?" he said to his canine companion. Mad-Eye just raised his brow a bit, but didn't move. Mad-Eye was not quite as feisty and active as the great man he was named after.

While Arthur was out in the garden working on his tomato plants, Molly was inside magically doing various things. She was cleaning, dusting, sweeping and mopping, while cooking up what she could cook early as well as setting things up for the family coming to visit.

In all of her preparations she realized it was about time for Mad-Eye to eat so she looked around the house. "Mad-eye!" she called throughout the house. "Where has that blasted dog gone to?" she asked herself before poking her head out the door towards the garden.

"Dear! Have you seen Mad-Eye? It's dinner time for him!" she called out to him. She walked out despite having called out to him and found Arthur with the Tomatos and Mad-Eye laying around nearby. "Ah there you are." she said. She took a look at the tomatoes. "They look nice and healthy dear." she said to Arthur with a loving smile. "But you should come in and get cleaned up. The children should be here any moment now." she said. "Come on Mad-Eye, time to eat." she called to the dog.

Arthur learned not to do two things in his long life. One was to walk into a battle with dark forces alone and two was to never, ever argue with Molly Weasley.

"Hello dear," he smiled. "And yes I do believe it is time to clean up a bit." Though he quickly finished the current task at hand, which only took less than another minute. Mad-Eye knew the word "dinner" and slowly made his way up, carrying his big body on tiny legs to the dinner dish.

Arthur kissed his wife on the cheek as he walked in. Despite him being cautious of her wrath should he ever talk back to her, Arthur loved Molly. After all those years, their marriage was as strong as it had ever been. But that was what the Weasleys were about in general- Family.

"I wish we could see the grandchildren already," he said, scrubbing his hands and face in the nearby lavatory. "June always seems so far away."

That was how it worked with Arthur. Molly was his heart, his children were his strength, and his grandchildren were his rejuvenation. Whenever the latter was around, he felt alive again.

running his hand through his hair tanner left his apartment to make his way to his grandparents house. he was still taking time off work. not ready to go back after the revelation that had sent him reeling. in the back of his mind he wondered if he'd still be welcome at these dinners and at family events if everyone found out who he really was. after all what his biological family had done had resulted in the deaths of a few members of the family he had been adopted into. it was a tangled mess in his head that he couldn't hope to work out on his own, and things had always been so simple when he'd been at his grandparents house when he'd been younger. he knew the bruises from his recent fight were still clear on his face but he was hoping people at the lunch would assume he'd gotten them on the job, not on the other end of someone's fists.

pushing open the gate at the back of the garden tanner worked his way up toward the house, avoiding a gnome at the bottom of the garden, taking delight in picking it up and swinging it in circles over his head before lobbying it over the fence toward the woods. with a slight grin he shook his head and continued up to the house, his path easy now there wasn't a pesky gnome biting at his ankles. he pushed open the back door with a small knock, stepping into the kitchen in time to hear his grandfathers voice ring out from somewhere and he smiled a little. "some of us aren't so far away grandfather" he said, closing the door behind him and sitting the bottle of wine he'd brought on the table. "got given this as a gift, thought today would be a good day to drink it" he spoke. not wanting to admit that the thought of touching alcohol again was sickening to him.

George walked in behind his nephew. He had nothing in particular to do that day as the store was closed, so he decided it was a nice day to head back home. As he spotted the bottle of wine, he playfully took it from Tanner.

"Oh nephew, you really shouldn't have," he joked. He then looked at his parents. "Might not want to give any to mum and dad. I've seen them after a few glasses... not a pretty sight." He then handed the wine back to his nephew before sitting on the sofa and propping his feet up. Still the same old George in many ways. He then looked at Mad-Eye, who gave him a worried look and whimper after swallowing some of his dinner.

"Oh don't worry your big, fat head, Mad-Eye," he chuckled. "I didn't bring Jester with me this time." Mad-Eye groaned a bit and went back to eating. "So, Spring Cleaning again, is it? Never was fond of that. I'm still not. Just ask Angelina."

Ginny, who.was becoming more like her mother everyday, couldn't stand the thought of showing up to the gathering at the Burrow empty handed. The woman woke up early and bussied herself with a quick pie. She had no idea who would actually show up, seeing as there were always those with excuses and work to be done. But she was going regardless. She was getting to old for Quidditch and was sure she would soon be spending a lot more time with her parents at the Burrow. So, with a pie safely in hand, Ginny apperated to the property and her eye was instantly drawn to the landacaping. The garden had been freshly manicured.

"It looks nice out there." Ginny stated as she opened the front door and let herself in. She took off her coat and walked into the kitchen where she set her pie down then went to greet everyone. "Hi mum." She said and kissed her mom. "Hi daddy." She kissed her father as well. She then turned to her nephew, giving him a kiss on his head before she turned to her brother. "Long time no see, Georgie." She elbowed her brother lightly and scratched Mad-Eye on his head as he ate. "How is everyone? What's been going on?" She asked.

Molly smiled when Arthur started getting up to come clean up a bit. She put her arm on her husband's shoulder when he mentioned the grandchildren and wishing to see them already. "Don't worry love, we'll see them soon enough." she said comforting him though she herself missed them dreadfully. As they walked to the house she heard the sound of the door opening. "Wonder who that could be?" she asked and her question was answered soon after as her grandson Tanner walked into the kitchen.

She smiled and turned to Arthur. "See darling, here's one already." she said with a smile as she moved with her arms outstretched to Tanner. "Hello deary." she said embracing him. She stepped back to get a better look at him. "Why you look like skin in bones. Come on in and eat something will you?" she said, the fussy grandmother she was.

She turned to hear George's voice and put her hands on her hips and shook her head at him. She walked over and smacked him on the back of the head. "George Fabian Weasley you do not prop your feet up on my table." she said sternly. She turned back to Turner. "Don't listen to that boy dear, thank you for the wine. You can just set it on the table darling." she said with a smile before turning to hug George. "Your a right pain in the rump George, but you're my son and I love you." she said. "You must bring Angelina next time and visit more often. How is she, Freddie and Roxy?"

"Ginny dear!" she said happily as she embraced her daughter. "The burrow is the same as ever of course dear. How have you, Harry and the kids been?" she asked. She was all smiles having some of her family home for the first time in awhile.

Arthur smiled at his dear wife when she reminded him school would be out soon.

"I know, but soon enough is... well never soon enough," he said. "And once they're here, they're off again."

Arthur smiled when Tanner walked in and reminded him that he could indeed see some of his grandkids all year around.

"Forgive me, Tanner," he said. "I forget how some of you have grown. These days, time has to catch up with me... or I have to catch up with time. Something of the the sort." He looked at the wine. "Oh this is a very nice vintage. Thank you, Tanner."

Arthur sighed a bit at George and was about to say something when Molly stepped in as usual. He always appreciated how she was able to deal with George without him uttering a sound. Still, he had to add something.

"It so happens, son, that I can handle my alcohol just fine," he said. "As can your mother... not that we drink a lot of it..." He quickly turned to Ginny and smiled as he accepted his daughter's kiss. Ginny was and would always be his "little girl".

"Hello, my darling," he said. "Oh, pie, brilliant! Hmmm, the pie, the wine, and I just bought some cheese from a Muggle market. Perfect! Everyone hungry?"
