wasn't one of the birthdays that you listed, but I hope this is okay!
A lot had changed since this time last year, Molly thought as she lay in bed on the morning of her 49th birthday. Ron, Harry, and Hermione were safe and the Wizarding World was free of Lord Voldemort forever, but it had cost them.
Molly had lost a lot of family to the wars against Voldemort and sometimes she wished it was her instead. The image of Fred, who was usually vibrant and full of life, lying dead on the floor of the Great Hall flooded into her mind and she bit back tears, trying desperately not to wake Arthur.
It didn't work. She felt Arthur stir beside her and pretended to be asleep. She was tired of crying, tired of missing him. Arthur moved closer to her, his side against hers, and wrapped his arms around her, pressing a soft kiss to her shoulder.
They laid like that for a while, neither one saying anything. Since the Battle of Hogwarts, Molly had been reminded of all the reasons she'd fallen in love with Arthur. He was her rock, the one person who was always there for her. Molly sighed and relaxed against him, allowing the tears to come.
