Get the Blessing
Who: Arthur, Gideon, and Fabian When: After dinner Friday night Where: Empty Classroom What: Arthur asks permission Rating: Probably not very high Further Information: The Ring
Arthur was nervous. He felt like he was going to be sick.
This was much worse than showing Alice the ring Even though he'd been nervous for her approval of the ring, he knew Alice well enough to know she's support his decision. Plus, Alice was just as much his friends as she was Molly's. While he considered himself close to the Prewett boys, they were first and foremost Molly's brothers.
Arthur had spent the last few summers putting books on shelves, helping old witches find the perfect gifts for their grandchildren, and pointing first years in the direction of textbooks. All the hours had been worth it. The ring was in his pocket. There was only one thing he had to do before he could ask Molly to marry him.
