“Oh, really?” I say, arching an eyebrow but keeping my voice light and amused. “Am I going to have to keep a bell on you, so you don’t wander?” I add in an undertone to Ron, tracing a slow spiral with the tip of my thumb on his palm, under the table.
I love how you showed Arthur's reaction to the snake after what happened to him. I love that Ron was angry that he'd got hurt again. My favourite line:

It's so sweet and affectionate, but a little hot and posessive at the same time. I love Harry like this.
I thought Arthur's reaction was important, because he not only knows the seriousness of an attempt on Harry's life (however clumsy), he knows how the Ministry works, the way the bureaucracy ticks. If he'd known of another avenue that wasn't being explored, he could have suggested it. And it's a lovely excuse to show Arthur's brains. He's a very intelligent guy. The twins get their instinctive sense of the mechanics of things from their mum AND their dad

Lovely and fluffy and sweet - and I can see them both making a big effort not to fly off the handle with each other over things that they both really hate - like Harry getting hurt at work.
It's all part of the push and pull of a relationship. Ron doesn't need to shout and march about for Harry to know that he's upset when he gets hurt, and Ron knows that. Ron's very transparent when it comes to these things. I think Ron may have made a bit more noise about it had they been alone. Not shouted, just spoken his mind a little, but at the dinner table it's a bit "public" for Ron to say what he feels. I may work in a bit of that into the next chapter.

She's there fetching and carrying and preparing, because she wants to but also because Apolline can't be there.
