Chapter 1: The Calm Before the Storm

3rd P.O.V

During an eerily calm night, the stars twinkled with ever knowing knowledge. An ever watchful moon glistened at the Burrow of the Weasley family, the soft and swift wave-like movement through the meadow was brushed back, seemingly embracing for some sort of impact. The soft meadow glistened, shadow reflected through the moon of a single owl flying toward the serene land.

A sudden thud echoed throughout the quite large house as the owl crashed into the window of the homeowners before flailing its way down, crying out in distress. Arthur Weasley shot up from his peaceful night in havoc. The owl unconscious under the window of the bedroom was named Errol. As Arthur checked out the window with his wand drawn, he groaned in frustration as he saw the owl knocked out cold under the window. Arthur knew his owl was with Professor Dumbledore and although the situation could be quite serious. The man was too tired to even notice the sudden importance.

Arthur placed his wand down on the nightstand and slipped back into bed with the arms of his loving wife. As Arthur's wife, Molly Weasley, was now awake she mumbled a soft,"Who was it dear?" 

Arthur disregarded her question merely saying that it was Errol. Molly asked another question more confused than ever.

"Wasn't Errol sent to Professor Dumbledore?"

A very quiet, "Yes, dear." Soon followed. The silence returned to the quiet night. For a few stifling moments.

"Arthur! This could be a very serious manner how could you ever think of sleeping in!!" A fully awake Molly cried out, repeatedly smacking the sleeping man. Arthur's wife was very loving and very, very, ferocious. She quickly and quietly ran out of the bedroom careful not to disturb their sleeping child. 

Once Molly left, Arthur got up. His child was wide awake and cooing. In the corner of the bedroom lay an old fashioned baby crib with a wide-awake-year-old baby. The baby was blessed with vibrant red hair and entrancing light brown eyes. Arthur shushed the baby while cradling the child in his arms, cooing softly trying to rock her to bed,

"There, there Ginny. Mommy wanted to check on Errol. She'll be back soon, I'm sure she will want you napping by that time."

Newly named Ginny's eyes sparkled as she gave a toothy smile before her eyelids became too heavy for her and they softly closed. Arthur softly placed the baby in the crib and quietly walked down the rickety steps. The door was wide open and the curtains softly swaying from the breeze. Molly came in carrying Errol, she placed the owl into a cage. 

As Molly locked the cage, she quickly ran toward Arthur and pulled him towards the living room. With haste, Arthur closed the door as he was dragged. All the while listening to his loving wife rant about how it was an important matter. Her words passing through the sleepy man's one ear and out the other.

Once the couple was seated, Molly pulled out a letter addressed to both of them.

"It was from Albus Dumbledore, he wants to know if he can meet with us tomorrow night once everyone goes to bed." Arthur, confused, questioned about what would require such secrecy. Molly quietly replied with an explanation that it doesn't say why in the letter.

"It does, however, say that a second owl will come back to get our response," Molly said softly. Arthur ran up the stairs to get a quill and some ink. Molly grabbed some spare papers and idly hummed waiting. Arthur came back down and placed the supplies on the table. Both talking about if they should accept it and further questioning why the need for secrecy.

Upon the top of the stairs, a couple of twins were quietly listened to what the parents had to say. Before they were caught they made a plan to listen in on the meeting for tomorrow night. The oldest brother of the redheads snuck behind the twins quietly. As his parents soon fell asleep on the couch. The oldest brother whispered,"Fred, George, what the bloody hell are you two doing?" The oldest kid questioned angrily. Both twins jumped. Before responding.

"Well-" Fred started before George interrupted him.

"Why was Freddie first? Bill that isn't fair." George whined.

Bill shut them both up before asking for the explanation. The twins in sync explained what they heard and how Albus Dumbledore is coming tomorrow night when everyone is asleep. Bill rushed them off to bed before he went off to his. His own mind reeling with plans.

The next night Molly and Arthur were rushing all the children to bed. As the twins supposedly slept, Molly picked up her only daughter and walked into the living room as they would possibly be there a while. 

An audible crack was heard in the distance. Molly and Arthur quickly made themselves presentable as there was a soft knock. The Headmaster was quickly rushed in, away from the cold air. The trio sat down and exchanged casualties. Unaware of the three children listening to every word.

"I suppose you both were wondering why I've arranged this meeting?" Albus questioned, a knowing twinkle in his eye. Both the parents agreed. While the child spoke some gibberish before nodding as well seeing her parents do it.

Albus continued, "As you are well aware we have been looking for followers of You Know Who and recently discovered some. They are unknown really, the names of Christopher Filcher and his Wife Abby Filcher. It has come to my attention that once they were taken away they had a child locked away under the house. The poor thing went unnoticed for a few hours before objects started flying everywhere. The Aurors thought the house was cursed before the herd the loud wails of this baby girl. She appeared to be the daughter of the Followers and now that they were incarcerated this baby will need a new home."

Molly and Arthur knew where this was going and they both knew what to say. Arthur started, "We would love too..."

Albus' eyes seemed to twinkle, he questioned them, "Why do I sense there is an exception towards the statement?"

Arthur grew visibly uncomfortable. He explained himself, "It's just, you see, with Ginny in the way we can't exactly afford to take care of a new child. God knows how much Molly and I want some girls. I just don't think we can afford another child. I'm sorry to disappoint, Albus"

Albus nodded before adding, "We are quite aware of your situation, the ministry would be sending you the currency required to take care of a child until it can attend Hogwarts and she can use the money of her parents' vault to pay for the supplies."

Molly and Arthur's eyes widened before they looked at one another unsure. Albus stood up before their eyes reached a conclusion and stating he would give them time to think, and that he will be out enjoying the air.

After almost half an hour of quick quips and thoughtful discussion the trio was seated once more, Ginny safely tucked back in her crib which was brought down. Molly and Arthur looked into each other's eyes while their hands found one another and held tightly. Their world was going to change and they knew it. The silence was broken when Molly smiled at Albus and said, "Well I always wanted more daughters, this sure beats giving birth."

Albus smiled, it seemed to glow. The last hour of the night was spent talking about the procedure of paperwork for adopting a child. Once Albus was leaving he thanked them once more before taking off. Another audible crack was heard as Albus disappeared without a trace. Molly and Albus sat on the couch and fell asleep holding one another, they needed comfort in knowing the life they had has been shredded to pieces with no hope of returning.
