Violet's pov

October 30, 1981

"Regulus, let's go! We need to get to the Burrow." I shout from the kitchen. "Give me like 5 minutes, love!" He shouts back from our room. Quickly, I perform a charm to show my pregnant belly, it's not big but there is a bit of a bump. I hear Regulus close our bedroom door and I charm my stomach to hide it again. "You look lovely in that dress." Regulus says as he kisses my cheek. "Thank you." I mutter quietly. He notices that I am avoiding eye contact. Regulus slides his hands on my cheek, lifting my head up, he smiles softly. "Love, stop worrying. It is out of your hands." He comforts me, I nod and smile up at him. "Now, let's go before Fred and George try and prank me for keeping you too long." He teases, making me laugh.

We arrive at the Burrow within seconds. Bill, Charlie and Percy push Fred and George behind them and the three older boys hug me. "Hi, Vi!" The three oldest boys cheer. I smile and kiss their heads and rub their faces. Fred and George pout and glare at their older brothers, soon after the three oldest boys let me go Ron runs up to me. "Hi Ron!" I say and kiss his head. Ron runs back to the kitchen, Fred and George smile at me before attacking me with hugs and kisses. "Hi boys, how are you?" I ask as they hug me. "Good!" They shout in sync. "Aunt Vi," Fred starts, "You look pretty!" George finishes. "She does, doesn't she." Regulus says from behind me.

"She's still mine!" Regulus teases while kissing my cheek. He winks at the twins and walks into the kitchen. The twins groan and slowly follow Regulus into the kitchen, they grab onto his legs at the same time trying to make him fall. Regulus picks them up and throws both of them over his shoulder. The twins giggle while Regulus spins around and jumps making them move about. Molly walks over to me and hands me Ginny who was born a little over a month ago. I held her in my arms while the Weasley's owl arrived. Molly grabbed the letter and began to open it.

"It's Dumbledore, he wants to have a meeting about Lily and James." Molly announces. We all nod and apparate to the meeting. Dumbledore awaits for us along with Severus, Pettigrew shows up later than everyone else. I notice he is scratching at his forearm and making weird faces. "I wanted to let everyone know James and Lily's charm hasn't had any problems." Dumbledore speaks calmly. Everyone nods quietly while looking at him. "Anyways, I better be off." And with that he apparates. Molly grabs my hand and pulls me out of the room, "How's the baby?" She whispers while looking around the room. "The baby is good, lots of movement."I whisper back while smiling. I noticed Peter look at us while walking by, 'Merlin I hope he didn't hear.' I think as Regulus now walks up to me.

"The twins are complaining that I distract you from cuddling time." Regulus groans as he rubs his face. I laugh before walking to the twins, I look down at them while they are smiling up at me. "Are you two picking on Regulus again?" I ask, making them shake their head no and begin to laugh. "Let's go, boys we will go cuddle." I state taking their hands and apparating them to the Burrow. Regulus pulls me into his chest, he looks at the twins and sticks his tongue at them. He grabs my face and kisses me softly, once he pulls away he winks at me and leans down to my ear. "Just proving it to them that you love me more." He whispers kissing my cheek before Sirius and Remus take him to the back with Arthur.

I look at the twins who are eyeing me. "What? I didn't kiss him first!" I argue with their glares. I lean down and kiss their heads before helping Molly with lunch. The twins sit at the counter and mumble and talk about pranks they have done, earning an occasional scolding from Molly. Once Molly and I finish lunch we place the food down on the table outside and everyone begins to eat. Regulus sits on my left side while George and Fred sit on my right. A little while after lunch Ron and Ginny pass out on Molly at an armchair. Fred and George lead me to the other couch and push me onto it.
