hear me out: a stay at home dad Ron Weasley
regularly fights the PTA moms
“fight me Linda my cookies are better”
“no that is not the best way to get grass stains out of jeans Helen do you even hear yourself”
he coaches the football team and cheers Rosie on even if she misses the ball
directs the school play - Hermione and him stay up all night coming up with a good plot and Ron spends so much time figuring out the right roles for every kid
Mrs. Weasley teaches him how to bake
Ron, Rosie and tiny Hugo make delicious, but very messy and colourful cookies and cakes and Hermione takes some of everything to work to share with everyone and she’s so proud
it turns out Hugo loves drawing, so one day him and Ron decide to draw all over Hugo’s bedroom walls
they draw funky animals and the whole family playing Quidditch in stick figures
one day Luna comes to join them and she paints Nargles and Unicorns and something unpronounceable she swears will bring Hugo luck and happiness
when they’re finished, Ron makes the drawings move and Hugo loves his new bedroom
Rosie wants her bedroom to be awesome too, so during the summer vacation, Hugo and Ron help her draw some awesome drawings in her room too
they draw pictures for Mommy together so she can take them to her office and put them on walls
they get really artsy actually and soon they’re making castles out of clay and tiny elephants that Ron later charms so they can walk around and they sorta make a play out of it all and play it for Hermione
she cheers and claps and takes pictures
Ron, with the help of George and Ginny, organizes the best birthday parties
seriously, all the neighborhood kids and kids from school want to attend
there’s water balloon fights, hide-and-seek, the parents help the kids make weird eccentric clothes out of rags and then there’s a runway show with rewards for everybody, there’s a make-up artist that paints the kids’ faces into whatever animal they want
sometimes they parties are themed
one time it’s Lord of the Rings and everybody, including the adults are in costume
a picture of hobbit!Rosie and dwarf!Hugo grinning and waving is still on the fridge
sometimes Ron babysits Teddy as well and tells him super-awesome stories about his parents and gives him pictures and tells him how much they loved him and how proud they would be
Teddy loves his Uncle Ron and one time, when Ron, Hermione, Rosie and Hugo went on a vacation to Australia to Hermione’s parents, Teddy was red-haired and freckled for an entire month
basically Ron Weasley being an amazing Dad and Uncle and Hermione being an amazing Mom and Aunt who kicks ass in wizarding court or whatever you think she does
when the kids go to Hogwarts, Ron gets seriously bummed and bored and he starts baking more and more
and then the whole family holds an intervention for him
“dude. you gotta open a bakery”
and he’s amazing at it and everything’s awesome and everyone’s super happy
