Molly Weasley was sat at the kitchen table, attempting to get all of the children fed their breakfast, a task made much harder due to three of them needing to be spoon fed, and the twins needing to have constant supervision.

"Alright, I'm off to work" Arthur said, rushing through the kitchen, pausing briefly to kiss Molly on the cheek as he ran past.

"Have fun" she replied, watching him disparate before her eyes.

He was back less than a minute later.

"Arthur, it hasn't been ten hours yet, what are you doing here?" she asked, feeding Harry his next mouthful. It was tricky, as he didn't seem hungry since Severus left.

"A war has been declared, death eaters against someone whose identity is hidden. They have no idea who this mystery person is, but we've been told everyone has to stay at home until this war is over".

"Oh. My goodness. Do you think they'll be alright?"

"I'm not sure. But one thing is for sure - Severus must have known about it, and that's probably why he left Harry and Dudley here. To fight alongside the death eaters".

"I can't believe he's gone against Dumbledore like this. He's betrayed us all".
