Hogwarts Express: Time Travel

LXXV. St. Mungos

LXXV. St. Mungos

In London, Mrs. Weasley, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Hermione and Annie accompanied by Tonks and Moody walk up to a rundown storefront with a single mannequin in the window. Tonks move right up to the window

Tonks: We're here to see Arthur Weasley

"Oh so they're going to St. Mungos" Marlene inquired

"I've never been there" Lily smiled excited at the thought of seeing something new

Annie watches surprised to see the mannequin beckoning them to enter, Tonks is first to step in and she vanishes the rest quickly follow after her

Arriving at St. Mungos, they enter a crowded reception area packed with witches and wizards who have been damaged or injured in the course of their magical lives. Many move around wearing white robes with the insignia of a wand and bone crossed over each other. Molly marches determinedly through the crowd

Molly: This way, come on!

Reaching a certain hallway, Moody and Tonks abruptly stop outside a door, the door to the ward in which Arthur was staying

Tonks: We'll wait outside at first Molly. It should be family first.

Molly nods appreciating the gestures and she ushers her children through the door, she frowns as she sees Annie hesitating and walking back to Tonks and Moody

"What is she doing?" frowned Molly

"She's so weird sometimes" George laughed "She's so weird"

"Oh you people haven't seen the half of it" grinned Ron

"Well I wasn't sure if I should get in or not" she shrug

"Why?" Arthur asked but he received no answer whatsoever

Molly: [Beckoning her closer] Don't be silly Annie, you too, you're family [She smiles as Annie's eyes lit up, her words really did make her heart flutter]

"Thank you Molly truly, for taking her in" Euphemia smiled at her

"Yeah thank you" added Lily

Molly only shook her head dismissively "Oh, but of course she's family"

"She'd light up as if someone just gave her a small puppy" Marlene cooed

"She's the small puppy" Barty argued making Annie cast him a confused look "Well you're too cute" he grinned at the blush that crept up her neck and ignored the hard glare Draco sent him

"Stop hitting on my little pumpkin Crouch, I'll pummel you" James warned

"The little thing just wants a family" Rod whispered in Bella's ear

"We can be that" she grinned from ear to ear

Entering the ward Annie looks about, there are three patients inside, Arthur lies in the farthest bed by the window, propped on several pillow reading the paper

Arthur: [Smiling brightly] Hello, everyone!

Molly: [Bending down and pressing a kiss to his lips] How are you dear?

"Gross Molly" the idiots her brothers were gagged "We didn't not have to see that" Fabian scowled

"Nor did the poor kids" added Gideon

"What?" she gasped "It's just an innocent kiss" she argued

"Yeah right, it was precisely an innocent kiss that enticed you to have 6 red heads" teased Fabian
