Date: December 10th, 2005 Character(s): Molly Weasley, Ron Weasley Location: The Burrow Status: Private Summary: Molly has breakfast with her youngest son. Completion: Complete
Ron had been looking forward to breakfast with Mum since she invited him last week. He and Mum hadn't had a good long sit-down, complete with a good talk, in a very long time, and he had a lot to tell her. Besides, he wanted to see how she'd got the Burrow repaired. He was glad she wasn't living in that tent anymore; it had seemed very wrong to see her living anywhere other than the jumbled house where he'd grown up.
He'd not shaved much recently but in honour of seeing his mum, he shaved and put on one of his nicer jumpers and his cleanest jeans. He couldn't seem to get out of the flat on time, though, and when he finally Apparated to the Burrow he was almost 10 minutes late.
"Morning, Mum," he called into the kitchen as he went in. "Breakfast smells good, as usual."
Hearing Ron arrive, Molly smiled broadly; she did so enjoy having people around the house as it was far too strange to have the whole house to herself.
She left the sausages to finish sizzling in the pan and went to pull Ron into a hug as he entered the kitchen. Molly kissed his cheeks. "Good morning, love. How are you?"
He'd barely entered the house when his mother flung herself at him, pulling him into a hug worthy of Hagrid before kissing both his cheeks. "I'm good, Mum, really. Thanks for asking me to breakfast. I'm also starved. So what've you got besides sausages?"
She let go and he went to his usual place at the table and sat down.
Molly pulled back to look at him. My, how he'd filled out. It was all that Quidditch, she supposed, and he was obviously cooking for himself these days, what with living alone. She smiled as Ron got straight to the topic of food.
"There's some bacon," she said, turning back to the stove. "And I've just made some toast. I was going to fry some eggs when you got here." Molly pointed her wand at the egg basket, levitating enough for the both of them and magically cracking them into another frying pan. "What would you like to drink? Tea, coffee, juice?"
"The house looks really good," he said, looking around. "I mean, especially considering what it was like when I got back last year. I should come round to the Five Alarm more often." He felt a bit sheepish about that, but he had been insanely busy the last few months, and he had preferred to spend the little free time he had just relaxing with Lavender.
He was surprised to hear that his mother had done some traveling. "By yourself? Really? Where'd you go?" He leaned forward, genuinely interested.
"I'd love it if you would. Just because you're all grown up doesn't mean that I don't want to be a part of your life."
Molly waved a hand. "Just all over the place, really. Went to see a few historical sights, visit a few old school friends. I don't like rattling around in this house all by myself all the time."
"I reckon it would get lonely, rattling around this house by yourself." He was glad his mother was out and doing things with her friends. It had been a couple of years now since his dad died, and he was sure Arthur Weasley wouldn't have wanted Molly to stop living.
He really was finished with breakfast now, and he didn't want to overstay his welcome. "Okay, well, I'd best be going, Mum." She gave him a look, but he shook his head, putting on his coat and knit cap and wrapping a scarf round his neck. "Y'know, you could knit me another cap, instead of a jumper. Remember that old knit cap I had, with the long earflaps?" He smiled at the memory; the hat looked a bit mental but it always kept his ears warm. "I could use a new one like that. Just not orange or maroon, okay?"
"Well, I would offer to let you stay here any time you want, but it seems that you don't need my help."
Molly stood up, crossing the room to Ron and adjusting his scarf for him; she didn't want him to catch a chill. The weather was getting a bit nippy, after all. She smiled up at him. "I might just do that. But you always did look good in maroon, I though. Makes your cheeks look lovely and rosy." Almost to prove her point, Molly pulled him down to kiss both his cheeks.
