Title: Good to be Rich
Author: tjwritter
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
Pairing: The Weasley’s
Prompt: #42 Children’s laughter
Warnings: Awww overload
Disclaimer: Don’t own, never going to own.

As the children’s boisterous laughter echoed all around him, Arthur Weasley thought he was the richest man alive. This was his. He owned every single one of those children’s adorations. It was something he earned every day by just being himself.

The price was Muggle teen magazines smuggled for Victoria, Dominique, Lucy and Roxanne. For Louis and Hugo it was fishing on lazy afternoons. Bedtime stories about their namesakes were the payment for Molly, Fred, James, Albus and Lily. And for Rose, it was sneaking out of bed to watch the sunrise.

For Arthur Weasley, it was good to be rich.

	What a wonderful take on this prompt. I love these wonderful gifts that he can give them, more priceless than anything all the vaults in Gringotts could ever buy. Well done! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks! I imagine Mr. Weasley is the bestest grandpa! With his innocent enthusaism and his fun nature! Plus, he raised Fred and George, so he knows all about fun! Thanks for reading! (Reply to this) (Parent)
