Several weeks had passed since his visit to Malfoy manor, but something about that portrait still had him bothered. Part of him considered making a second 'official' raid of the domicile and as much as the Minister would support this, Arthur didn't want to see the information flashed accross the cover of the Daily Prophet for all to see, once again. It wouldn't do for the Malfoys to know (or even suspect) that he had found something. So, after a particularly tasty dinner of roast pheasant, Arthur turned his wife, his usual convincing grin pasted accross his lips.

"Mollywobbles, are you still interested in helping out with this Malfoy matter?"

 

"Of course, Arthur," said Molly, giving him a bracing smile. "Just let me clean this up first."

 

Arthur watched as his wife busied herself about the kitchen, not at all realizing that it would be polite to offer to help, but simply appreciating the sight of her. Sometimes he was just overwhelmed with how much he cared for her. Finally she sat back down across from him, and Arthur sighed before beginning. "I want to do another search of the manor . . . tonight."

 

Molly finished up and smoothed her apron before untying it. "I suppose that's good enough," she announced. "Alright, Arthur, we can apparate from the garden. Do I need to bring anything?"

 

Arthur shook his head; he didn't think anything would be needed. "We have to be careful when apparating, there's a rather unusual charm preventing unexpected arrivals." Arthur stood up and unconsciously took his wife's arm as they headed out to the garden. "I think I've found a way around it, but we still must be cautious." He smiled. "Just hold tight to me, and you should be fine." He held fast to Molly's arm as the two concentrated upon the Manor and he felt the ground disappear from beneath his feet.
