The Ministry had started to handle the security at social events, an attempt to manage the fear more than an actual solution to the real problem. Marlene thought it was ridiculous, especially when she had to waste a perfectly good morning to meet up with a quidditch player, one that she didn't like very much either. "Shall we keep it short?" She said when the witch joined her at the table.

Sometimes, raising boys is a Sisyphean task: an endless cycle of pattering feet and sticky hands and scraped knees and runny noses and carrots being flung at the kitchen wall. Sometimes, raising boys is simple: easy as promising a visit to “the broom store” if they keep their younger brothers entertained while Daddy helps Mummy make dinner. ( Truthfully, Charlie and Bill did a fantastic job. Arthur can’t remember a quieter evening at the Burrow in years that didn’t involve at least one of the children being sick. )

But for Arthur, the true reward is the starry enthusiasm on his two eldest’s faces at the sight of a Comet 95 in the display window. It’s one of the simple joys of fatherhood: he can experience the world anew through his children’s eyes. The wonder and curiosity they exude is infectious wherever they go, and all Arthur needs to do to benefit is to be present for it. Bill and Charlie press their small hands against the glass display as they babble about... something. Arthur hears the words “broom,” “dragon,” and “kapow” a fair number of times, but he’s not sure he’d be able to make sense of their imaginary adventure even if he tried.
