The pots and pans stayed in their place, and the disappearance of the kitten was no longer a sad story to tell. Every day after his new career change, his mother asked him what he wanted to become when he graduated from Hogwarts, and his answer stayed consistent. Arthur continued to be on board with his new obsession, and his father was beginning to worry. Being an expert on Muggles wasn't a well respected career, especially for Pureblood like himself and his family.  Cedrella, on the other hand, supported Arthur and occasionally got him muggle items. It started from a ball point pen to a little music box that Arthur began to fall in love with. Every night he had questions about how everything worked, and wondered why his world did not have objects like the muggles did. The night before the trip to Hogwarts, his mother presented him a small box with a fairly large bow. He was on the verge of sleep, but once he saw the box, he put on his glasses and sat up.
"A present?"
"A little bank for your coins." He immediately reaches for the box, and grins as looked at his mother and his father who was standing by his open door. "Go on, dear." Without another hesitation, his fingers begin to open the box, when he looks down at a ceramic piggy with a little slot on the top. "Look at this." Cedrella reached for a knut from her robe and pushed it inside the slot. "It's all safe now." Arthur shakes the piggy bank, the coin hitting the inside. " You can save all your coins there, and whenever you want to get your coins back, you can either break it or remove the little cap underneath." Arthur turned the piggy and took off the cap, showing him the coin inside.
"That's weird." John said from behind his father, Mark stood right next to him.
"I love it!" Arthur grinned, shaking the piggy gently. "Thanks Mum!" Putting the piggy in his nightstand, he wraps his arms around his mother's neck as she chuckled. "Best present ever!"
"Lets just hope you don't get it taken away. It is a Muggle object after all." Mark pointed out, folding his arms and letting out a tired yawn.
"Come on boys, you three need to get sleeping. We got to wake up early tomorrow."
"Yes, dad" Cedrella kissed Arthur on his forehead, and waited for him to lay down before Septimus tucked him in and kissed him as well.
"Night, dad."
"Goodnight, Arthur. Sleep tight, son." Septimus closed the door, but Arthur couldn't seem to close his eyes. He wanted to continue to collect coins and fill his piggy bank up. He wanted to share all his collection with new friends, but wondered if they would find him about odd. Looking at the blurry window, he smiled and pushed all the negative thoughts to the back of his head.

"Little Molly is finally joining us, Fabian."
"It took her long enough, Gideon." Molly frowned as she continued to fold her clothes in her trunk, all her necessities on top. "Come on, Molly. Even Billy doesn't take so long to pack."
"You wouldn't understand. I have to double check everything because of you too." Molly snapped, causing her older brothers to laugh. Groaning, she laid on her bed and screamed into her pillow which only caused her brother to laugh louder.
"What is with all the racket? Shouldn't you three be asleep?" Haven Prewett peeked inside the room of her children, who were staring at her as if they had committed the biggest crime. "Come on, now. What's going on?"
"They won't shut it." Billius mumbles, putting his blanket over his head. "Some of us got to do duties." Fabian looks at Gideon before erupting into giggles. Molly rolled her eyes and continued to it away the last things in her trunk.
"Duties. Duties. What? is Billy boy worried that he may not be able to do his early morning runs?"
"Now, Fabian. Please go to sleep you three." Molly silently thanks her mother before setting her trunk down on the floor and locking it safely, putting the damage that her brothers might cause to the minimum. Fabian and Gideon said their good nights and started to snore softly. Molly couldn't close her eyes, she was never excited for something so much before. She couldn't wait to be among her brothers, even though she didn't like to admit it and be part of the adventures they had when they were first years. It was different for everybody, she understood that but that didn't stop her from wondering what her Hogwarts fate would bring to her life.
"Can't sleep, Molly?"
"I'm just too excited." Billius sits up and whispers lumos  before walking to his sister's bed. "How was it like? The sorting? The house? Do you think I'll be in Gryffindor like you and Dad and the twins?" Molly continued to ramble, and Billius only continued to listen until he was able to answer her.
"the sorting can be a little on the pressure side, but when the sorting hat yells out your house, you'll feel pretty darn great. I have no doubt, Molly. You'll be with all of us, well maybe. That little head of yours might be more Hufflepuff."
"Do you think Mum or Dad would be upset if I don't make it to Gryffindor?"
"Well, lets remember that Mum was on Slytherin. It's kind of her family tradition. Dad was in Gryffindor. I don't think they would be upset, Molly. I think they'll be as proud as they were for the three of us." Molly nods and continues to look at the small flag that hung on their wall.
"I'm going to be a lion."
"And you'll be the best lion. Now, sleep. Fabian and Gideon will be the first ones up and I know how you much you hate when they force you to wake up." Molly smiled and hugs her oldest brother from the side.
"Thanks, Billy."
"Goodnight Molly."
