“I’m really amazed you can keep up with them all,” Alaric said as he looked at all the little redheads running around, oddly impressed by the number. He didn’t think Molly Weasley was more than a couple years older than he was and yet already there were children in several states of life calling her mum. She’d had kids before he was engaged the first time and Alaric thought idly of how it would likely be years before he had kids, if he ever had any, since Pandora wanted to get married after the war. If they lived to the end of the war.
No. That was the sort of thought he was trying to avoid having and Alaric forced himself to smile as he shook his head, as if physically throwing the thought out of his head. “Tell me, do any of them help with the garden? I can’t help but admire it, is it yours or your husband’s?” He asked, unable to recall if Arthur Weasley had mentioned that when they’d talked at his shop. @queenmolly-weasley
