arthur could’ve smacked himself on the head for only allowing himself less than a whole twenty-four hours to prepare for his date with molly. nevertheless, the picnic was perfectly laid out in just enough time before her arrival. the same knit blanket from their first date made its reappearance underneath them, as did the iced cold pumpkin juice. this time, however, arthur was happy he didn’t have to sneak around the hogwarts kitchens in order to find any leftover treats. this time, everything would be even more perfect in his eyes. — but the sight of molly is truly what did him in, she was powerful in that way. ❛ — and i know it sounds crazy, but it’s true ! my brothers truly did try to make a mud pie look as realistic as possible. thankfully enough mum could tell immediately, but if not i think the smell alone might’ve done it, ❜ his story finished at the exact moment arthur’s head fell back again in laughter as he rested himself on his elbows.
