Molly took the flowers from her, smiling warmly. "Look how lovely you are!" she cried, and pulled Katie into a warm hug. "George must have you completely fooled." She pulled back, still holding onto Katie's hand. "Simply lovely. And thank you, dear, for the flowers. They're gorgeous. I was giving some serious thought to planting some gerberas, they are such a cheerful blossom, aren't they? Certainly warms up the place, what with all this cold. Yes, I think I'll put these above the mantel."

Molly pulled her wand from her pocket and summoned a vase with water. "I don't know if George has told you, but that mantel is an exact replica of the one at our old home. The Burrow, you know. Demolished, nearly completely. Very tragic." She put the boquet in the vase and walked over to the mantel, Katie and George trailing behind. "Anyway, I had to make all new stockings this year, and I hope you don't mind, Katie darling, but I took the liberty of making one for you as well." She placed the vase promenently on top of the mantel, peering at it critically, adjusting it a fraction of an inch. "Lovely," she finally muttered to herself.

Katie had to work to keep up with Mrs. Weasley, conversation wise. The woman was a tornado of speech and activity. "I'm glad you like the flowers," she managed to interject, although she didn't even pretend she had any knowledge whatsoever of gerberas, "most flowers cheer up a place, irregardless of kind though."

"George never told me about the mantel," Katie added as the older woman adjusted the vase she had picked for the flowers, "but it certainly is lovely - and large. It would have to be though wouldn't it, to fit all the stockings? I was very sorry to hear about the destruction of your home; you must be anxious to have it rebuilt."

Her heart leapt into her throat at the mention of a stocking for her. Katie swore a mile a minute in her mind, but forced herself to stay outwardly calm. It was technically a good thing, even if it had come without Mrs. Weasley even having met her. That didn't make her any more calm about it however. Inviting her along to this family event alone had seemed like more than a big enough step.

"That was very nice of you," was all Katie added to the comment about the stocking, determined not to worry about it.
